Like shopping for your first car, first-time sex toy buying
can also be a nerve-wracking experience. With the hundreds of brands, colors and
styles on the market you want to know if it will work, if it’s a high-quality
product and whether or not you’re getting taken for a ride. No need to
fear-we’ve compiled a few simple tips that will give you the confidence you need
to buy the perfect toy. Remember, Sex is fun! And what could be more fun than
sex and shopping? Let’s begin:
1. When it comes to sex-toys you usually get what you pay
for. If a product is priced extremely low it’s probably because it was built
with extremely cheap components. What seems like a “great deal” won’t feel like
such a great investment when it breaks 3-6 weeks down the line! It’s safer to
spend a little more on products from companies with a reputation for quality.
Toy lines from Doc Johnson, Impulse,
Vibratex and
Tantus are well-known for
their durability and cutting-edge designs.
2. Don’t just rely on product information from toy
packaging. Because some U.S. states have very strict laws concerning how adult
merchandise can be marketed most sex toy manufacturers keep the descriptive text
on packaging purposely vague. Other than common lines like “sexy” and “orgasmic”
you generally won’t find more than a photo of a porn-goddess in the throes of
unimaginable ecstasy. If you really want to know how a product works and can’t
find out through friends and word-of-mouth then it’s best to ask the people
you’re purchasing it from. (Preferably, from a female-friendly company with a
clear return-policy and a reliable customer service department!)
3. Understand your body! Your best friend may rave about
the sexual gratification she gets from a G-spot stimulator but if you primarily
rely on clitoral stimulation this same toy might not do much for you. What gives
you pleasure is a very personal preference. Consider what kinds of stimulation
you enjoy during sex. Do you enjoy internal, external or both? Isolating what
feels good to you will help you look in the right direction. If
you don’t know what turns you on a basic vibrator is the perfect way to teach
you! Small stimulators like the classic
vibrating bullet can be used
internally or externally and are a handy and inexpensive way to experiment with
vibration on different parts of the body.
Still confused? Learn the four most common styles of
vibrators and sexual types that would most enjoy them:
Classic Vibrators:
This most classic style of vibrators is oblong in shape
and can either be perfectly smooth or can look exactly like a real penis
depending on your preference. These toys are designed to be inserted into the
vagina in an in-and-out motion and can offer pleasure by mimicking the feeling
of real intercourse. Do you enjoy the erotic sensation of being penetrated (by a
finger, penis, etc.) during sex or masturbation? If so, you would most likely
prefer a Classic Vibrator.

Clitoral Vibrators:
Despite the fact that most vibrators are designed to
penetrate the vagina it’s estimated that over 80% of all women require direct or
indirect clitoral stimulation to achieve orgasm. If you need to have your
clitoris manually stimulated during masturbation or partner-sex you will want an
external or clitoral massager. These can look very different in appearance than
Classic Vibrators since length and size is not as crucial as the actual
vibration. Wand-style vibrators like the
“Pocket Rocket” and the famous
“Hitachi
Magic Wand” are excellent for clitoral pleasure because they make it easy
for a woman to apply stimulating pressure to the clitoris during masturbation or
intercourse.

G-Spot Vibrators:
These stimulators can look
similar to classic vibrators but feature a curved ends specifically designed to
arouse the G-spot, a quarter-sized mass of nerve tissue located about halfway
between the back of the pubic bone and the top of the cervix. This shape also
works well for clitoral vibration when placed over the pubic bone. If you prefer
G-spot stimulation then click here to see examples of

Combination Vibrators:
Stimulating more than one area of
the body at a time can be twice as nice! If you love the sensation of clitoral
stimulation while you’re being penetrated than you will love a Japanese or
“Rabbit” style vibrator. These toys feature an insertable shaft for vaginal
pleasure and a vibrating external attachment that will independently arouse the
clitoris. Click here to see examples of

Vibrators.
Now that you have a wealth of
information at your fingertips it’s your decision to go mild or wild with your
new toy. And remember, you aren’t limited to just one… Happy Shopping!
