If you're in the mood for some solo play but don't have a dildo on hand, there's no need to despair. There are plenty of household items that can be pressed into service as makeshift sex toys. For instance, cucumber or carrot make for excellent improvised dildos and can be easily modified with a condom or latex glove for extra protection. A tube of lipstick can also be pressed into service as a small, smooth dildo, though it's important to make sure that it has a flared base to prevent it from getting lost inside you. And if all else fails, you can always call up your favorite sex toy retailer and have them overnight you a dildo of your choice. There's no shame in admitting that you need a little help getting off every now and then.
