Urethral Sounding Toys

The urethra has highly sensitive nerve endings. Sounding rods or shafts provide intense, direct stimulation from inside the shaft. Always keep sounding toys clean and sterilised and use plenty of water-based lube.

What is urethral sounding, and why do people try it?

Urethral sounding involves gently inserting a smooth, purpose-made rod (also known as a ‘sound’) into the urethra for sexual stimulation. Sounding can result in intense internal stimulation from inside the urethra, and even indirectly around the prostate, which can’t be replicated by any form of external stimulation. Read More

Interestingly, sounding as a practice has a long history in the medical field and tools that are used for consensual sexual exploration have origins in medical instruments. For curious minds looking to explore sounding toys, choosing a purpose-made tool within our BDSM accessories range that’s designed specifically with safety in mind is always advised.

How to do it safely: the rules you can’t skip

To explore urethral sounds safely, it’s crucial you follow certain steps. First, your urethral sounding kit should be made from the right materials; this usually means opting for smooth, non-porous, medical-grade stainless steel, which is durable and easy to clean between uses. Beginners may also benefit from trying flexible silicone sounding toys, provided they’re designed specifically for urethral use. Never just improvise by using household objects!

Size-wise, it’s advisable to start with a moderate diameter rather than thinner urethral sounds, which can tear tissue. Whichever size you’re using, never force insertion or push against resistance. Instead, let gravity do its work. If you start to experience significant discomfort or any pain, stop immediately.

While using your urethral sounding toys, be sure to apply a generous amount of compatible, body-safe lubricant. After use (and before, ideally), don’t forget to clean your sounds and urinate in order to help clear bacteria from the urethra, which could lead to a UTI.

Never ignore certain warning signs, including blood in your urine, burning that persists after urinating, or fever. Seek urgent medical attention should you experience any of these symptoms.
