[Technical discussion of sex toys under the cut.]


When I last talked about Lady Di the DIY sex toy, I complained that the projection that I added for clitoral stimulation wasn't hitting my clit hard enough.

I carved a notch in it. No joy. I added two four-penny nails crosswise mostly through the procjection. Still no joy. Then I added three nails longitudinally. It's rigid enough now, but now I think the projection is too big and flat.

So as I lay in bed last night thinking about it, it occurred to me that I picked the wrong starting point. I started with one of my sext toys, not my hand. So I need to make something that's kind of like a subset of the bones of my hand.

What's the plan now? Here are the bullet points:

• Start with a cylinder of rigid material - glass, resin, stainless steel, coated steel, or coated hardwood, ideally 15mm in diameter but 12mm would probably do.
• Round the ends.
• Bend it in the middle about 60°.
• Bend one of the resulting two arms into a 45° arc.

Once again I'm going to have to talk to somebody who knows more about fabricating such things than I do.

Have you considered making a cast of your hand in the correct position as a jumping off point? Even if you don't use it directly you may need a reference for someone else to do fabrication

I have, actually. Where that breaks down is that a) I only use one finger, including the knuckle at the base, and b) a toy that I can grip won't look much like my hand.

Not necessarily. The business end can be shaped like your hand (or at least the part of it you use), but with a handle attached (being the part that you to move the business end).
