What Toys To Us With Bottom Growth

Has your vibrator stopped feeling as good since you went on testosterone? Here's what you can do.
If you’re somebody with a clitoris who’s had large amounts of testosterone in your system, it’s likely you’ve experienced what is colloquially known as “bottom growth”. This refers to when testosterone causes the clitoris to grow in size and girth, causing it to take on a more traditionally penis-like appearance. Common in transmasculine individuals, the appearance of bottom growth is one of the most favoured effects of testosterone for many who take it, but it does present a new challenge- how do you properly masturbate with this new t-dick?
WHY DOES BOTTOM GROWTH OCCUR?
Bottom growth occurs on testosterone because the hormone stimulates a process called clitoral hypertrophy, in which testosterone increases blood flow and causes the tissue in the clitoris to stretch, leading to an increase in length and width. This is a side effect of testosterone-based hormone replacement therapy, as the clitoris is an organ with similar tissue to the penis, and therefore responds to the hormone's effects. Bottom growth can begin within weeks of starting testosterone therapy, with the most significant changes usually occurring within the first 12 to 18 months, though it often continues for several years.
WHY DOESN’T MY VIBRATOR FEEL AS GOOD ANYMORE?
A common occurrence when undergoing bottom growth is that the same pleasure toys you once used won’t feel as good/won’t feel the same as they once did. Though this may feel like a loss, it’s actually an opportunity to explore different and more expansive kinds of pleasure than was previously available to you. Because the clitoral hood begins taking on a more foreskin-like appearance and thickness, the same methods of applying vibration to the clit may not feel as intense, but on the inverse, trying to apply a vibrator to the clit below the hood may feel way too intense now. What’s a lad to do?
Well, the favourite among many a trans guy is a suction toy. Since it uses air and suction to simulate a sucking on the clitoris, you circumvent both the clitoral hood barrier and the hyper-intensity of the new head of your t-dick. The pressure can be a more enjoyable stimulation than the buzzing of a vibrator, and might give you a little gender euphoria from getting your dick sucked along the way. No matter how big or small your bottom growth, there will be a corresponding sized suction toy out there that will give you that perfect lock, and you can get back to using toys to their full enjoyability.
