Sexual Health and Wellness Guides

Written by Casey M., Resident Toy Specialist at Epic Dildos. Last updated November 2026.

Our sexual health and wellness guides are free, plain-language resources on pelvic floor health, painful sex, erections, hormones, disability and more. Each guide explains what is going on, what helps, and when to see a professional, with practical toy and lube advice where it fits.

Our health guides cite trusted sources like the NHS, Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, the CDC and the American Cancer Society. They are general information, not medical advice, and they point readers back to their own healthcare provider.

How We Write These Guides

  • Plain language: short sentences, no jargon, written for real people.
  • Sourced: health facts come from medical organizations and published research, linked in the guides.
  • Honest: no fake reviews, no "medical-grade" hype, and no claims that a toy treats a condition.
  • Professional care first: our health guides tell readers when to see a doctor, physio or therapist.
  • Body-safe picks: we favour non-porous materials like silicone and glass, and we flag latex and porous materials clearly.
