Feeling apprehensive about buying a sex toy for your partner for the first time? Scared to embarrass yourself? Fret not, we’ve got you covered on how to pick the right toy for the right job without our ultimate guide.
What do you want to get from your first sex toy?
Certainly, the purpose of a sex toy should be clear. However, sex toys come in many different sizes, colours, shapes and even textures. 70% of women need clitoral stimulation to orgasm, hence a small external vibrator to start off might be the right choice. Buying the biggest thing you could possibly find might not be the best idea here!
For your male partner, things can be a bit easier to start with. You could make use of a simple flesh light for stimulation that still involves your own loving touch, all the way up to a full blown oscillator that simulates a blow job. However, we do recommend to start small with a flesh light like sex toy for him.
What are the best materials to use?
Obviously you only want the best materials touching your private bits, especially given people with latex allergies certainly exist. Materials such as rubber and jelly can be hard to clean and therefore are not really reusable and not recommended. You wouldn’t want bacteria to linger on your favourite sex toy!
Silicone, metal and glass sex toys are all safe to use, since they’re non-porous and therefore easy to clean. In addition they do feel more real and can give quite a lot of pleasure.
When using a silicone toy on your partner, make sure to not use silicone based lubricant as it will react with the other silicone, creating a weird texture and a ruined sex toy. Water and oil based lubricants are best used with toys.
Rechargeable or battery operated?
This very much comes down to personal preference and perhaps even how green you are. Whether you want to keep buying batteries in order to guarantee consistent pleasure, or simply recharge the toy, the choice is ultimately yours.
Sharing is caring
While you may be able to use many sex toys on your own, the true fun comes into play when you get to use them on your partner. There are a great variety of couple ready toys guaranteeing days on days of pleasure for the adventurous couple.
All of them are discreet enough for your purse or bag, so go out there and enjoy domination or submission on the go!
