Is it a bit of a jungle to figure out what to choose when you scroll through the Internet's vast selection of sex toys. No worries, we have created a guide that makes it easy for you to navigate the most essential toys for your collection.
Which sex toy should I choose?
Uh oh, yes that's the big question. Fortunately, you don't have to settle for just one. Different pleasure toys have different functions and are designed to caress different places on your body. If this is your first piece of sex toy, it is a good idea to start with a simple vibrator, and then you can later add more to the selection on your bedside table.
Some types of sex toys also overlap a bit: Many of them can e.g. used to stimulate the clitoris. So if you only have to buy one pleasure toy, it is a good idea to choose one with many functions. It could, for example, be Klub Venus' Woody , which can be used both anally, on the g-spot and on the clitoris.
In this guide, we have made it easy for you and collected the most essential must-haves for your toy box.
1. Lube cream
A good lubricant is worth its weight in gold. And in fact, it is some of the equipment for sex that is smart to have a small stock of. It is so annoying to discover that the tube is empty just when you need it most.
You can use a lubricant together with other sex toys, together with partners, or alone when you want to masturbate . It is also absolutely indispensable if you have problems with getting wet . Not to mention that good moisture and lubrication are the most important things when you have anal sex . And hey, by the way, it can also be used when you have to give an intimate massage or - believe it or not - to stick glitter make-up and similisten to the skin.
Lubricant can be either water-based, oil-based or silicone-based. There are different benefits depending on which type you choose. Oil- and silicone-based lube can feel more "soft" or "smooth" and the effect sometimes lasts a little longer, while the water-based version has the huge advantage that it can be used together with your sex toys. Oil and silicone can dissolve the material your toy is made of.
2. Bullet vibrator
Or "minivibrator" we can also call it: A tiny vibrator that you can easily carry in your toiletry bag - or any other bag for that matter. Practical! A bullet vibrator is a good sex toy for beginners: it is small and easy to use and not as violent in its vibrations as e.g. a wand.
You can use your bullet as a clitoral vibrator and stimulate yourself or your partner directly on the clitoris, but you can also hold it in your hand and e.g. run it over your partner's balls or nipples - to that extent it is also a sex toy for couples . The only place you shouldn't use it is in the anus: a vibrator this small easily slips "in", and it may require a visit to the emergency room to get it out again.
Extra smart is that a bullet vibrator can be used to add vibrations to other toys. For example it can be inserted into a hollow dildo or a butt plug.
3. Dildo
A dildo is an elongated sex toy. In fact, it is perhaps the pleasure toy that can be used in the most ways. Some dildos can vibrate, while others are soft, pliable and vibration-free. You can use a dildo both vaginally and anally - if you use it for anal play, you just have to remember that it must have a wide bottom or stop at the end so that it does not slip up the butt.
A dildo can give you the sensation of being filled up, and you can either stick it inside yourself and leave it there or move it back and forth. You can also use it together with a vibrator, so you stimulate yourself at several pleasure points at once.
Dildos come in all shapes, colors and sizes. If you are a beginner, you can choose a small and smooth dildo for a start and later test a larger one of this kind if you would like to be filled out more.
4. G-spot vibrator
A sex toy for you who either likes to be stimulated on your g-spot during sex - or would like to explore yourself and find your g-spot if you haven't found it yet. A g-spot vibrator bends a little or is equipped with a small knob so that it can hit exactly where the small pleasure point is located in the vagina.
Some g-spot vibrators simultaneously stimulate the clitoris. You can use it alone when you have sex with yourself, but it is also a great toy for couples: let one stimulate the other with the vibrator while you go in search of the g-spot together.
The G-spot vibrator is extra good because it can be used for both internal and external stimulation. It is certainly made for use in the vagina, but you can also easily use it directly on the clitoris if you don't have a clitoral vibrator at hand - perhaps it is actually the ultimate sex toy.
5. Wand
A wand is a relatively powerful vibrator that gives deep and intense vibrations that really stimulate the many nerves of the clitoris all the way through. A wand vibrator is equipped with a head - this is what makes it vibrate extra powerfully.
A wand is used externally on the body - and you can actually stimulate a lot more than the clitoris with it. For example a sore neck. In fact, it was invented back in the day as a massage device for tired American housewives ...however, they soon found out that it could be used for more than just neck pain. Sticking it up in the vagina will probably be just as powerful enough for most people.
A wand vibrator is easy to use, but if it's your first time buying a sex toy, we recommend starting with a slightly smaller vibrator and then start experimenting with the heavy, deep vibrations from a wand when you feel ready to explore your body's pleasure points even more.
6. Remote controlled vibrator
A really nice ad on for your toy collection. A remote-controlled vibrator consists of two parts: a vibrator and a remote control with which you or your partner can control it. Some remote-controlled vibrators have to be set up in the vagina and anus, and others you attach to your underwear.
Now the only thing left is for you or your sex partner to press the remote control to start the vibrations. It can both be nice for sex games where you want your partner to be in control. But it's also quite smart if you want to be stimulated with a vibrator and at the same time want to use your hands for something other than having to hold on to it all the time.
7. Suction vibrator
With a suction vibrator, it feels as if someone is sucking on the clitoris - this is a vibrator with built-in oral sex. A suction toy has a small head with a hole that you put against the clitoris, and with a special technique, the toy creates an intense feeling that you won't experience with an ordinary clitoral vibrator.
A suction vibrator is both a great beginner sex toy, a great solo toy and also great if you are a couple. It can be a bit difficult to use in some sex positions , because it takes up a little space and is in the way - but there are also many positions where it can easily be done.
8. Clitoral vibrator
A clitoral vibrator is designed to stimulate the clitoris with vibrations. There are many different types. Some are pointed so you can place them very precisely on the clitoris, and others are wide and soft so you stimulate a larger area of the vulva at once.
Few people can come solely by being stimulated in the vagina - most also need to be touched on the clitoris or other pleasure points to have an orgasm. If you have a vulva, a vibrator for the clitoris is something of an upgrade to your sex life if you want to explore your body and experiment with experiencing "the big O".
Most clitoral vibrators have different settings, and you can change the intensity and vibration patterns, so you can be stimulated exactly as you want.
9. Rabbit vibrator
A rabbit vibrator is a sex toy that stimulates you both internally and externally at the same time. It got its name because the first of its kind were designed with two small "rabbit ears" to caress the clitoris. They were produced in Japan in the 80s , and because the country had very strict laws for what was obscene, they were designed to look like very colorful rabbits: Cute and harmless.
Modern rabbit vibrators do not necessarily have "ears". Instead, the part that will stimulate you externally is often formed in one piece - like a small vibrator attached to a dildo.
A rabbit vibrator is a really nice sex toy for those of you who want pressure on several pleasure points at once. For solo sex, it is absolutely fantastic self-indulgence.
Why use sex toys?
You don't need that, either. Sex without toys is great too, but pleasure toys can sometimes reach places where hands can't, vibrating faster and more intensely than you can caress or tickle with a finger. You can use toys if you miss variety in your sex life, want to explore your body and all the feelings and sensations it can feel.
