Understand what you really want for yourself?
What are you looking for in a sex toy other than the most basic of needs:getting pleasure from a sex toy? Here are some questions to help you find what you’re looking for.
- Do you want a toy with a higher level of automation or do you want a sex organ simulation?
- Do you want to use it alone or with your partner during sex? Or both?
- Are you looking for insertion toys? Is it vaginal or anal insertion?
- If you are a clitoris owner, is your clitoris very sensitive or do you really need some intense stimulation.
- If you’re a penis owner, do you want to experience vaginal intercourse-like sensations or just want to last longer.
- Do you want a remote control toy or a manual on/off toy?
- Do you want usb rechargeable or battery powered?
It’s okay if you haven’t thought about these questions before, it’s not too late to give them some thought. Have a good time figuring out what you want, and when you have the answers your search is narrowed down you’ll know where to go next to find the right toy for you. Or we can start with two broad categories: penetrative and non-penetrative sex toys.
4 Non-Penetrative Sex Toys
Sex toys designed for external use, such as clitoral or perineal stimulation, are sex toys that do not involve penetration. This category includes devices designed for penile owners, such as cannulas or similar items, which provide sensation without penetration.
Generally, sex toys for external stimulation come with a vibrating feature, but non-vibrating options can also be used effectively. Sex toys that do not require penetration include bullet vibrators, suction vibrators, stick vibrators and condoms.
1. Bullet Vibrator

A bullet vibrator, as the name suggests, is designed to look like a bullet and is a very small and discreet sex toy, usually no bigger than the size of a lipstick. You’ll find a very wide variety of them at different prices if you open Google and search for them, but they all function in much the same way with only a vibrating function. If you are a vulva owner, this type of toy can be your first choice.
Two of the best bullet vibrators on the market are the Lelo Lily 2 and the Ootyemo Mini.The Lelo Lily 2 has a curved design that molds to the contours of the vulva. The Ootyemo Mini has a classic shape with 9 vibration modes. Both are USB rechargeable and waterproof.
2. Suction Vibrator
Suction vibrators are a new type of vibrator that has become very popular in recent years. It mainly stimulates the vulva through the sucking force generated by air pulses, and many users also say that it is a similar feeling to oral sex. In short, it has quickly gained a large number of fans with its new form of stimulation. Among them Inya rose and Womanizer are the best representatives of this kind of toy.
Note that the stimulation provided by this type of toy is very intense and if you have a very sensitive clitoris then it may not be suitable as your first toy. Getting the ideal suction sensation with this vibrator requires a specific angle, so it’s more suited to solo sex than partner play. It offers a unique and intense experience that caters to those looking for oral stimulation sensations.
3. Wand Vibrator

Wand vibrators provide intense stimulation just like suction vibrators. The most well-known wand vibrator is definitely the Hitachi Wand, but Hitachi actually developed this vibrator not to be used as a sex toy, but as a muscle massage to relieve sore muscles. You can imagine how intense its vibrations are, so we don’t recommend it as a first toy for newbies.
But there are also many improved products on the market today that don’t vibrate as intensely as it does and don’t require a plug for constant power, but instead are powered by a rechargeable built-in battery.
4 Sleeve
This is a sex toy designed for men. A sleeve is also known as a flesh light, a device for penile insertion. Usually it has an inner sleeve made of soft silicone that ensures a wrapped feeling around the penis. The entrance is usually designed in the shape of a mouth, anus, or vaginal opening. Ideal for those who like to masturbate and for penis owners who want to “practice” before having sex with someone for the first time.
4 Insertion Sex Toys
After learning about non-penetrative toys next comes a list of 4 penetrative sex toys. These are generally sex toys that are inserted into the vagina and anus and act to create stimulation in them, and are used in place of vaginal intercourse and anal intercourse. They are silicone dildos, glass dildos, rabbit vibrators, steel balls and anal plugs.
1. Silicone dildos

Silicone dildos can be very simulated or not so anatomically correct. It can be so simulated that it can even outline the color of the penis and the veins on the penis. But sometimes it can also be an animal dildo, it could be a horse’s or a cow’s, fulfilling some people’s fantasies of inter-species sex.
A number of dildos now have a suction cup at the base that attaches to a smooth surface for a hands-free experience. If you are queer you can opt for wearable dildos with strap-ons that can fulfill your intercourse experience with your partner.
2. Glass dildos
Apart from silicone glass is the most ideal material for sex toys. Glass is very safe, non-toxic, strong, non-porous, easy to clean, long-lasting and compatible with a wide range of lubricants. There are tons of other creative shapes for glass dildos to choose from, but unfortunately this material is not malleable and cannot mimic the sensation of flesh.
In addition, the glass dildo can be used as an important prop for the temperature game, you can put the glass dildo into the refrigerator or hot water to get a unique temperature experience.
3. Rabbit Vibrator

The Bunny Vibrator is definitely a milestone in the history of sex toys. Almost synonymous with sex toys, it was one of the first modern vibrators made famous by the movie “Sex and the City“. It provides clitoral stimulation while being inserted, which some people like and others find too stimulating.
It has evolved and developed over the years, and it comes in a wide range of features and styles that you can purchase according to your needs. All in all, if you like dual vaginal and clitoral stimulation, then the rabbit vibrator may be the one for you.
4. Anal beads and plugs
If yu’re interested in another entrance, anal plugs and anal beads bring a level of pleasure to anal play that no other human organ can give. Anal plugs are usually made of stainless steel or silicone and come in a variety of sizes, so if you’re trying them out for the first time, it’s recommended to start with the smallest size and gradually increase the size as you get used to it.
Anal beads, on the other hand, look like a beaded necklace with beads about the diameter of a coin. To use them, insert them one by one into the anus then slowly pull them out, feeling pleasure as you do so.
Where is the best place to buy sex toys from?

When you have the answer and want to buy your first sex toy, you will be faced with two options, buying online or offline. Both have their own benefits. If you buy offline, you can visually hold the toy in your hand to observe and feel its function and quality, but sometimes you may feel some embarrassment when the shopper introduces it to you.
This is not the case with online purchases, which have the advantage of convenience and a very wide range of choices, and most online malls ship discreetly. Online stores are great places to start. The only regret is that you cannot visualize the quality of the sex toys. So you can weigh up for yourself and choose the buying channel that suits you.
Have fun
Whatever you choose, the most important thing is to have fun. So it’s essential to do some basic situational awareness so you don’t buy back something you don’t like, and spend wisely to make it worth every penny.
