FOR SOLO PLAY...
THE RABBIT
If you prefer a tried and tested shape, go for the original Rabbit. First made famous by hit 90s TV show Sex & The City, the classic phallic shape delivers pleasure for the G-spot, with a separate mini ‘wand’, often featuring ‘bunny ears’ for clitoral stimulation. Most feature a G-spot stimulator that twists and turns in different directions to locate the pleasure point. Another feature to look out for? A ridged bulb for lifelike revelry.
FOR CLITORAL CLIMAX...
THE WAND
The Wand is a phallic shape, often with a bulbous, vibrating head designed for external clitoral and labia stimulation. The clitoris is far bigger than some realize so the head of the Wand reaches a wider area than other vibrators, thought to deliver more intense orgasms! Plus, it can be used externally on any part of the body. Try nipples, testicles, and even as a massage gun for pulsating foreplay!
FOR CLITORAL STIMULATION...
THE CLITORAL VIBRATOR
Nowadays, clitoral vibrators come in an array of different shapes and sizes, from bullets to pebbles, tongues, and even lipsticks. The latest designs feature a finger grip holder for easy access and controlled play to help you come!
FOR SUCTION STIMULATION...
THE SUCTION CUP
This innovative shape is one of the newest in sex-tech that left us thinking, why on earth has no one thought of this one sooner? The clitoral suction toy mimics oral sex with pulsating airwaves for spine-tingling sensations! What’s more, it's easy to use, compact and travel-friendly.
FOR BEGINNERS...
THE BULLET
This pocket rocket is understated and discreet – an easy go-to for beginners. Plus, you can use it anywhere on your body for nipple play, butt play, or any pin-pointed play that tickles your fancy! Neighbors nearby? No worries – this one's quiet enough to go unnoticed!
FOR BUTT PLAY...
THE BUTT PLUG
If you’re exploring new territory, or a seasoned pro at butt play, choose a butt plug for him or her. For first-time users, choose a simple one that’s smooth and silky to make things as easy as possible, and don’t forget the lube!
FOR PARTNER PLAY...
THE LOVE RING OR STRAP-ON DILDO
While any couple can explore all kinds of sex toys, there are a few designs that are specifically designed for partner play. The Love Ring (or cock ring) can be worn around the penis to enhance penetrative sex. The strap-on vibrator can be worn by anyone with a vagina to enhance couples’ sex. You could also look for multi-use gadgets that can stimulate the clitoris, penis, and prostate at once to deliver explosive pleasure – the best kind of joyride!
FOR ON-THE-GO THRILLS...
THE WEARABLE VIBRATOR
Choose Bluetooth-enabled and Wi-Fi-controlled clitoral vibrators that can be slipped discreetly into underwear, and controlled from a remote or app by your partner. Give the vibrational power to your other half for some buzzy surprises, often in the form of a love egg, or discreet clitoral vibrator like the pebble. Whether they’re across the room or the country, they'll have you on your knees by lunchtime.
SEX TOY SHOPPING TIPS
Spotted something you like the sound of? Consider these sex toy tips before you jump in:
Consider the volume of your toy. (No, we don’t mean girth. We’re talking about how loud it is!) You might want a quiet one so you don’t disturb the neighbors with vibrational reverberance!
Consider whether you want battery-operated or chargeable. The last thing you want is the battery running out mid-sesh. Try to keep yours fully charged so you can play whenever the mood strikes!
Make your session even hotter with a sex toy that gradually warms up inside you. This hotting-up stimulates blood flow to increase intensity (and all the feels!)
Whether you’re buying for yourself or your significant other, a buzzy sex toy is the latest wellness essential for your self-love and self-care routine. Seeing stars yet?
