Different Types of Sex Toys: A Guide to Unlocking Pleasure
Sex toys have been around for centuries, but they’ve become more widely accepted and mainstream in recent years. Unfortunately, with so many different types of sex toys available, it can be overwhelming trying to figure out what’s right for you.
Whether you’re looking to explore new sensations, spice up your sex life, or have fun, there’s a sex toy out there for everyone.
So, let’s dive in and explore the wonderful world of sex toys!
First, Let’s Talk About Power Sources
When it comes to powering sex toys, you’ve got options. While battery-powered toys are cheaper, you’ll need to replace the batteries more often than you’d like.
On the other hand, rechargeable models keep going and going and going. Plus, they’re of higher quality, so they’ll last longer and perform better.
In addition to their superior performance, rechargeable toys are less likely to malfunction than their battery-powered counterparts. So if you want to avoid any buzz-killing interruptions, it’s best to go with the rechargeable option if available.
Ultimately, the choice is yours, but it’s worth considering the benefits of rechargeable toys before making a decision.
When It Comes to Sex Toys, Materials Matter
Look for phthalate-free toys made of non-plastic materials like silicone, glass, steel, or hardwood. Phthalates are chemical compounds that help make toys more flexible but can irritate sensitive skin and are known carcinogens.
Brands often use food-grade silicone and market their products as “body safe,” but it’s unclear whether this material is safe for sex toys. On the other hand, medical-grade silicone is regulated by the FDA to ensure that it’s safe for use in the body. As a result, it’s a more expensive but safer option.
To be confident about what you’re putting into your body, choose toys made of inert materials like glass, steel, medical-grade silicone, or smooth hardwood. Then, when you wash your toys correctly, these materials won’t leak chemicals or harbor bacteria.
Four Different Types of Sex Toys To Get You Started
Millions of people use sex toys to add pleasure and good vibes to their lives. Here are four different types of sex toys to consider purchasing:
Vibrators
Alright, let’s talk vibrators. These little gadgets have come a long way since the old days. Nowadays, we’ve got all kinds of options, each with unique features and benefits.
Bullet Vibrators
These little guys are perfect for clitoral stimulation and are shaped like a bullet or an egg. They’re discreet, and powerful, and can be used during solo play or partnered sex. It’s like having a little secret weapon in your pocket.
Rabbit Vibrators
These bad boys take things to the next level by providing simultaneous clitoral and vaginal stimulation. They have a little rabbit-shaped attachment that works on the clitoris while the shaft is inserted into the vagina. It’s like having two vibrators in one!
Wand Massagers
These things are big, powerful, and can stimulate any erogenous zone. They’re perfect for exploring new sensations and adding excitement to your sex life. Plus, they’re great for enhancing pleasure for both partners during sex.
To make things even more exciting, some vibrators have an app to control the toy from your phone — or, if you dare — your partner’s phone!
Dildos
Dildos are the perfect way to add some excitement to your sex life, and with so many kinds to choose from, you’re sure to find one that suits your needs. Here’s a closer look at some of the most popular types of dildos:
Realistic Dildos
If you’re looking for a toy that feels like the real thing, a realistic dildo is a way to go. These dildos are designed to look and feel like a natural penis, complete with veins and testicles in various skin tones and sizes, and they’re perfect for both vaginal and anal play.
Strap-On Dildos
Want to go hands-free? Strap-on dildos are the perfect solution. This dildo is worn with a harness, giving you easy penetration without needing hands. They come in various sizes and shapes and can be used for vaginal and anal play. Some even have vibrating features for added stimulation.
Double-Ended Dildos
Double-ended dildos are the ultimate toy for couples looking to experience simultaneous pleasure. Designed for penetration from both ends, they come in various shapes and sizes to suit different play preferences. Some even have a vibrating function for extra stimulation.
No matter what type of dildo you choose, there’s no denying they’re an exciting addition to any sex life. So, go ahead and explore your options – you might discover a new favorite!
Anal Toys
Ready to explore the world of anal toys? These toys can provide intense pleasure and stimulation, but choosing the right one for your needs and experience level is essential. Here’s a closer look at some of the most popular types of anal toys:
Butt Plug
A classic and versatile anal toy designed to be inserted into the anus, left in place for a while, and come in various sizes and materials to suit different preferences. Some even have features like vibrations or tails for added stimulation. Beginners should start with a small butt plug and gradually work up to larger sizes to avoid discomfort or injury.
Prostate Massager
If you’re looking for intense pleasure, a prostate massager might be just what you need. Designed to stimulate the prostate gland, they can give some people a unique and incredibly satisfying sensation. They’re typically curved to reach the prostate and may have features like vibrations or remote control functions for added stimulation. We recommend prostate massagers for more experienced users comfortable with anal penetration and play.
Anal Beads
Another popular option is anal beads, a string of beads that are gradually inserted and pulled out during orgasm for added stimulation. They come in various sizes and materials; some have features like vibrations or graduated sizes for added pleasure. They’re an excellent option for beginners or anyone looking for a unique and pleasurable sensation.
No matter what type of anal toy you choose, you must use plenty of lubrication and go slow to avoid discomfort or injury. However, with the right toy and a little practice, you can experience a new level of pleasure and satisfaction.
Kinky Toys
We carry kinky sex toys for those who enjoy exploring their wild side. These toys are perfect for BDSM enthusiasts or anyone looking to spice up their sex life. Here are some of the most popular kinky sex toys:
Bondage Gear
Bondage gear (handcuffs, ankle cuffs, and bondage tape) restricts movement and creates a sense of power exchange between partners. Blindfolds and gags are also popular bondage toys that enhance the sensory experience.
Nipple Clamps
Nipple clamps are designed to add pressure to the nipples, creating a unique sensation. Some are adjustable, some vibrate, and some come with chains or weights to add more sensation.
Cock Rings
Cock rings enhance the male experience by restricting blood flow to the penis, helping create a more robust and longer-lasting erection. In addition, some cock rings have added features, such as vibrating bullets or anal beads, to enhance pleasure for both partners.
Remember, communication and consent are key when exploring kinky toys. Always discuss boundaries and safe words with your partner before trying something new.
