sex toys. With so many types out there, your head is spinning. Double action. Clitoris. Bullet. Sleeve. Braga. Dildo. Anal. couples. wands. Wearable. These are all types of toys, and the list continue ! To begin with, you should know that no type of toy is necessarily better than another. It all depends on what you like and what works for your body. And that's what we're going to get into today!

So that we're not here all day, I'll take a look at the top six sex toy categories on our website: double action vibrators, vibrators clitorians , Vaginal and G-spot vibrators , toys for couples , masturbators and Toys and anal games .

what to look out for

We'll jot down tips on what to look for when shopping in each category, but there are a couple tips that apply to all toy categories, so I'll mention them now instead of repeating the same information for each section.

• 100% silicone. Quality silicone is always a good choice for sex toys. Some are made of more than one material, but use silicone for areas designed to come into contact with sensitive points on your body (for example, silicone-topped wands, plastic handles, etc.) Want to know more? about our silicone? consult the blog .
• They work with batteries or rechargeable batteries. In general, battery-operated toys tend to be on the lower end of the power spectrum, rechargeable ones fall somewhere in between, and corded plug-in (i.e. plugged into an outlet) toys are in the middle. highest end. Battery operated toys are also usually less expensive than rechargeable ones. Shop smart and stick to your budget, even if that means starting with a battery-powered toy, especially if you're new to toys and building a collection. You can always go for the rechargeable ones to elevate your sexual experience as you learn what you like over time. The power may vary depending on the thickness of the material and the design of the toy. Some are designed with smaller or larger motors. For example, illusion It surprised us with great vibration power, despite being a battery-powered bullet.

double action vibrators

Vibrators in this category offer double the stimulation and often feature novelty shaped clitoral massagers. (Usually these toys have two motors, one in the insert part and one in the massager. With these toys you can get vibrations simultaneous or vibrations controlled independently . What is the difference?

Simultaneous vibrations: The shaft and the massager vibrate at the same time and with the same speed and/or pattern. One button activates/deactivates the vibration of both.

Independently controlled vibrations: The shaft and massager can vibrate at the same time and with the same speed and/or pattern, be set to different functions, or one part can be turned off while the other remains on, etc. Each part (insertable and massager) has its own buttons.

Both options are great.

Double action toys with simultaneous vibration are a good option if you want the pleasure to be more constant and you need internal and external stimulation to enjoy it to the fullest.

On the other hand, double action toys with independently controlled vibrations give you options. If you are one of those who prefer clitoral stimulation combined with a feeling of fullness (but not vibration), this type of toy is the one for you. Similarly, if you like to alternate the vibration from one point to another to constantly increase the pleasure, go ahead!

Who should buy double action toys?

This type could work for those who need full, multipoint action from the clitoral complex. It turns out that The clitoris is not as simple as we all thought , but rather a vast network of nerve endings and potential for pleasure. In fact, it has over 10,000 nerve fibers, which means it's a hot spot for pleasure!

What should I consider?

• Flexibility Clitoral massage items are almost always flexible in some way, but it varies. Some are firmer, while others can be super flexible . Some flexibility may be best if you are prone to adventurous positions and/or need something that moves with your body. If not, a little firmness may work!
• Shaft length and shape. It's the difference between a G-spot stimulation or none. Less curvy and longer shafts will likely extend past your G-spot and can offer deeper vaginal stimulation and pressure. On the contrary, shorter and more curved penises can better stimulate the G-spot.

clit vibrators

Shaped differently (just like you!), these small but powerful vibrators stimulate the sensitive nerve endings in the clitoris (specifically the glans ). Not convinced? As we have mentioned before, this area houses more than 10,000 nerve fibers , making it very sensitive and perfect for pleasure.

In this category are our most versatile vibrators. We call it our "clit" category, but you can use it anywhere you want. Think about nipples, perineum, and other points that make you go "Oh!"

Who should buy clitoral toys?

Anyone looking for specific external hot spots should consider purchasing one. Whether you like targeted clitoral stimulation or prefer to get horny bouncing between different hot spots, the wands, bullets and the like in this category will serve you well.

What should I pay attention to?

• Shape/Style. In our category of clitoral vibrators you will find many shapes and sizes. Think about what you or your partner like when you search. If you want the option of arousing almost any hot spot and want a bit more reach, a longer wand or toy is best. Want to tease but don't need reach? A bullet or other smaller toy is perfect.
• Air pressure technology. It has established itself in the world of clitoral toys for a reason. With these, you may see terms like "air pulsation," "air sensation," "suction," and "pressure wave." They all do similar things, with the exception of "suction" toys. Some are what we might call "true" suction toys that move air through the body of the toy, while the rest suck your body by moving air into a cavity in the toy. These are the ones to look for if you need clitoral stimulation to orgasm, like most do. Have you never tried one? The Adventurer It will change your life, we promise.

Vaginal and G-spot vibrators

Easy to use, vaginal and G-spot toys adapt to internal and penetrative sensations. They are easy to use alone, but also with a partner, depending on what you feel like!

Can toys in this category also be used for anal play? We do not recommend this, as the safest items for that type of game often have flared bases to prevent leakage into the body. Dr D may fit, you just have to play smart!

Who should buy vagina and G-spot toys?

They are ideal for both beginners and lovers of G-spot stimulation, point A or other types of vaginal stimulation.

In case you didn't know, point G is about two to six inches deep, while point A is about two inches higher/deep (four to six inches) back. Keep in mind that only cis and AFAB women potentially have G and A spots and not everyone feels pleasure when these spots are stimulated.

What should I pay attention to?

• Shape and insertable length. The points you want to reach determine the length you should search. Using the information above, find what's called the "insertable length" measurement, and go from there. As we've mentioned before, curved toys with a good amount of firmness can facilitate G-spot stimulation. Curved designs may not be necessary for A-spot stimulation.
• Look for toys with ridges, bumps, and other textured elements to get extra stimulation with every move. For example, Just The Way I Lilac It has two perfect nubs for the G-spot.
• anatomical details. Some vaginal toys have them, some don't. Remember that your tastes may not coincide with those of your partner, so be sure to communicate this beforehand. It last What you want to do is spoil the vibe by bringing out something shapely and veiny when your partner doesn't like it.

toys for couples

They are self explanatory. Toys in this category involve play by at least two people. You can increase the excitement by shopping together or surprise your partner with a toy that allows you to share the pleasure much more.

This category houses subcategories, which we will point out now.

Leash Toys & Accessories: They fall into two categories: leash toys "strapless" and the accessories on a leash The former are generally insertable for both members of the couple and do not require a harness for use. The second requires a harness and is not insertable for both partners, but may or may not have a vibrating element for the harness-wearing partner.

Wearable Toys/Rings: The "c" actually stands for "constriction." Before you get scared, you should know that this does not mean pain. C-shaped rings slightly constrict blood flow, usually at the base of the penis. Because? This not only creates pleasurable pressure for the user, but can also help make erections harder and last longer. Some rings are just that, rings, but most have a vibrating element that can help add clitoral stimulation to penetrative sex.

Note: vibrating C-rings can work for singles and couples without a penis! The trick? Slide your fingers through the ring (or rings) to help secure its hold and place it against your partner's vulva or clitoris. Another option is to move your fingers apart and share the vibrations between the vulvas. Only you? Add a C-ring to your favorite dildo for a DIY double action.

Wearable/vaginal toys: They are very funny. In this branch you will find toys for internal, external stimulation or both at the same time. Bullets with recovery cords (such as the one for Our Little Secret ) and double action toys (think Butterfly Effect ) fall under the category of wearables, since they can be inserted and left for fun activities inside or outside the home! some toys like twilight mood they can be worn in a more special way: insert one end for internal vibration, while the other is curved against the vulva and/or clitoris for external vibration. Even better? You can add penetration to the mix while using the vibrator.

Who should buy toys for couples?

Those who should buy include those who have sex with other people, whether you have one partner or a hundred, No we are here to judge. If you have more than one partner and there are toys involved, it is even more important that you keep clean each and every sex toy in your collection. You may have a couple of long-term partners, or you may be living your best life with a new partner whenever the mood strikes. Either way.

What should I pay attention to?

Of the six categories, the answer depends the most on your sex life. The more pairs you have, the more likely you are to search for different toys. If you can't shop together (or you want to surprise someone), it's best to talk about what you like and don't like, and go from there. From there, the only limits are what suits your bodies and/or desires.

Since this varies so much, we'll write down a few things to look for in the subcategories.

Toys with straps and accessories

• anatomical details. As with vaginal toys, if your partner doesn't like "realistic" details (veins, penis-like shapes, etc.), look for something less anatomical.
• Advantages for the user. Especially in the case of strap-on harnesses, consider a vaginal vibrator or exciter for users to enjoy while pleasuring their partner.
• Check the dimensions of the toy and make sure it is not too small or too big for the couple receiving it.

Wearable Toys/Rings:

• Number of rings. Single-ring toys are usually placed at the base of the penis, while multi-ring toys can go around the base, behind the testicles, and even further up the penis.
• Vibration: If you want to stimulate the clitoris, there is nothing better than a toy ring with a vibrating element. If it is not necessary, a non-electronic toy is usually more cost effective.
• Most of the rings have diameters geared towards medium penis sizes. If the equipment in question is a little more circumferential than average, try a game of an illos and see first what suits you best.

Wearable/vaginal toys:

• Sometimes quantified with "dB" or "decibel" level, the volume of a toy is important when you want to take it on a date. Butterfly Effect and box Office vibrate with decibel levels between 35 and 45 dB. That's about the level of a whisper, light rain, or the hum of your fridge. Your body will dampen some of the noise from the vibrations (depending on the toy and what part of the toy is in contact with your body), so they will often seem much quieter. The volume also depends on other factors, such as the place and the clothes. Our suggestions for a hot date: choose a place that is already a bit noisy (like a bar, concert, club, etc.) and wear tight pants or shorts under your dress or skirt.
• As we said before, different wearable vaginal toys stimulate different areas. Choose one or several that stimulate your favorite areas.

masturbators

In addition to masturbators, they have other names. They are also called masturbation sleeves, pleasure sleeves, masturbators, etc. As for the material, unfortunately there is not much silicone, but PVC, TPR and TPE can be good alternatives.

When talking about masturbation sleeves, other factors also appear: the number of uses and the final design. There are two of each.

Disposable covers: Often pre-lubricated or sold with lubricant included, these toys are designed for one use only and then thrown away. They may or may not feature textures and various types of ends.

Reusable covers: Always textured on the inside, these toys can be used over and over again and feature various types of ends, as well as anatomical or playful designs.

closed design: These are sleeves that are completely closed at the end. They take a little longer to clean, but create more pleasurable suction and/or pressure during use than open cuffs.

open design: Open cuffs are easier to clean than closed ones, but they don't offer the same suction/pressure sensation (unless your partner helps you).

Who should buy masturbators?

Just like vaginal toys, if there's a penis in the equation (yours or your partner's), our masturbators they are a fun option. They can be used for masturbation, but can also be easily incorporated into partner play. But this is not all. If you or your partner want to extend the play time, the masturbation with a case is exactly what they are looking for.

What should I pay attention to?

• replay value. Single-use sleeves clean up much faster, but you have to pay to play each time. Reusable toys are the complete opposite. Cleaning takes more time, but you can use them as much or as little as you like.
• End type. Closed vs. open cuffs is the question. As already said, both create different sensations. Arguably closed sleeves give better feel, but it depends on preference. In addition, open sleeves have clear advantages. They serve to shorten the length and experiment with different depths of penetration. In addition, the couple can participate in the fun by touching the exposed areas.
• Electric or not. Some muffs and muff-like teasers vibrate. However, it is one of those things that you have to try to see if you like it. If you're not sure, but you have a bullet or other small vibrator, try masturbating along the length of your penis or testicles before going all out.
• anatomical details. Most cases are textured on the inside, but the entrance and/or ends of the toy may also be specially designed. They range from the abstract to the vaguely vulvar, to the molding of actual porn stars.

Anal toys and games

We have great options when it comes to anal play. If you've only heard of anal sex and don't understand it, here's what we'll tell you: the anus houses highly sensitive nerve endings in the orifice, the perineum (near the orifice), and inside (the prostate).

There is a lot of space to play and different ways to do it:

plugs: Commonly known as " butt plugs ", they are made to be inserted and left in for a feeling of fullness. Sometimes they are used for long periods of time to stimulate before sex. They can also be left inserted to add a bit of "oomph" elsewhere during penetrative vaginal play.

beads: Very popular. Usually the pearls they are graduated so that each one is slightly larger than the last to create a crescendo or cascade of sensations when inserted or withdrawn.

Vibrations: It's 50/50. Some anal toys vibrate and some don't. Most vibrators include a remote control for ease of use.

Who should buy anal toys?

To you. Everyone has the potential to start anal play. We highly recommend giving it a try, especially if you or your partner have tried just about everything else and want something new, are curious about intimate experiences with dots very sensitive, you want to try pegging and/or you don't get enough pleasure from other erogenous zones. It may take you a little more work get ready , but anal sex has the potential to become your new favorite way to play.

What should I pay attention to?

• All on that basis. Anal differs from vaginal in that toys cannot be lost inside the latter. That's why most anal toys are designed with wider bases than the toy itself or have other features like retrieval rings.
• Size Matters. If you are a beginner, you have to start small. try a training kit to go up in size before moving on to toys with more daring shapes and sizes. The same goes for the length. In general, the dildos either harness Anales may be wider or longer than vaginal ones. Go up!
• Curved designs may better reach the prostate if that's your angle. If not, keep in mind that toys with pearls have a completely different feel than those that are wider and bulbous.
• Electric or not. Since this area of ​​the body is already very sensitive, vibration may not be necessary. If so, it's my pleasure.
• Bling-bling. Anal toys can be precious . I'm talking about fun colors and a nice shine. Get a little glam in the bedroom by choosing something that catches your eye, and maybe leave the lights on to show off to your partner too.
