Pleasure should be on your terms, and sex toys are a great way to explore what feels good for you. But if you’re new to this world, it can feel a bit intimidating. The good news? There’s no right or wrong choice, just what works for you. Whether you’re after clitoral stimulation, internal pleasure, or something a little adventurous, there’s a toy to match your needs.
Some vibrate, some pulsate, and some feel like the real thing—so whatever you’re into, there’s an option for you. And it’s not just about the orgasm (though that’s a definite perk). The right toy can help you unwind, discover what kind of touch you enjoy, and even bring something new into the bedroom.
Types of Female Sex Toys
Dildos
Dildos are the classic go-to for internal pleasure. Simple, effective and available in endless varieties, they suit every experience level and fantasy. Whether you want something lifelike or sleek and modern, there’s an option that fits your desires. If you like the look and feel of the real thing, check out realistic dildos available in a range of designs.
From the different sizes and features like lifelike veins, ridges, or even testicles for extra realism, there are many options. You can also find them in classic phallic shapes, and a range of colours—everything from natural skin tones in all shades to fun options like glow-in-the-dark pink, rainbow, or clear, see-through models.
Made from soft silicone or TPE, a realistic dildo feels natural while staying flexible and comfortable. Some have a curved shape for G-spot stimulation, while others are straight. Plus, realistic dildos come in various sizes, so you can choose what feels best for your body. Many also feature a suction cup base that sticks to flat surfaces, allowing for hands-free use so you can have fun however you like (with or without a partner).
For those new to this sex toy, a smaller, slimmer option made from body-safe silicone or glass works best. Glass dildos offer a smooth, firm touch, while stainless steel dildos add weight and a cool, sleek sensation. Always choose materials free from phthalates or harmful chemicals to keep things safe and irritation-free. You can also find options with extra features. Double-ended dildos let two partners enjoy the experience at the same time. Curved G-spot dildos apply pressure right where it counts.
Strap-ons attach to a harness, so one partner can take control. From slim and beginner-friendly to bold and lifelike, dildos cover every preference. Some keep it simple, while others look incredibly realistic. Whether you want something classic or something that mimics the real thing in every detail, you can easily find the perfect match.
Vibrators
Vibrators are a go-to for many women because they deliver powerful sensations through vibrations. Whether you’re after external or internal pleasure, there’s a vibrator to match. Here are some of the options you can find:
- Bullet Vibrators: Small, discreet, and great for clitoral stimulation—perfect for beginners.
- Rabbit Vibrators: Dual-action pleasure, stimulating both the vagina and clitoris at the same time.
- G-Spot Vibrators: Curved to hit the G-spot for deep, internal pleasure.
- Wand Vibrators: Larger, stronger and designed for intense external stimulation.
- Finger Vibrators: Slip onto your finger for precise control.
- Panty Vibrators: Wearable and remote-controlled for hands-free fun.
- Suction & Air Pulse Toys: Mimic oral sex with waves of air or gentle suction.
Kegel Balls
Kegel balls, also known as Ben Wa balls, aren’t exactly sex toys but they can seriously level up your sexual wellness routine. These small, weighted balls sit inside your vagina, giving your pelvic floor muscles a workout—think strength training, but for better orgasms and stronger squeezes during sex. They can also improve bladder control. Some women find the sensation arousing, making them a great way to build anticipation before solo play or foreplay.
Anal Toys
Anal toys are designed differently from vaginal toys—most importantly, they always have a flared base to prevent anything from getting stuck. Never use a toy for anal play without one! These toys can be made from firmer materials like glass and often have unique shapes or textures for added pleasure. If you’re curious, start with butt plugs, which come in various sizes and are great for beginners. Anal beads offer a build-up of sensation, while vibrating anal toys add extra stimulation for even more excitement!
How to Choose the Right Toy for You?
Choosing the right sex toy can feel like picking the perfect ice cream—exciting but a bit overwhelming. The key is knowing what kind of pleasure you enjoy. Love clitoral stimulation? A bullet vibrator or suction toy is a great start. Prefer internal pleasure? Try a G-spot vibrator or dildo. Want both? A rabbit vibrator has you covered.
If you’re new to toys, start small with a finger vibrator or a slim dildo. For stronger sensations, go for a wand vibrator or thrusting toy. Choose body-safe materials, consider rechargeable options, and if you need discretion look for quieter designs. Trust your instincts and have fun exploring!
How to Clean Your Toys?
After getting a toy, you need to know how to clean it—this step is just as important as choosing the right one. Sex toys come into contact with body fluids and bacteria, so proper cleaning prevents infections and irritation.
Silicone, ABS plastic, stainless steel and glass toys should be washed with warm water and mild soap, then left to air dry.
Waterproof toys can be rinsed, while non-waterproof ones need a careful wipe-down. Avoid harsh chemicals, scented soaps, or dishwashers unless the toy allows it. Once dry, store it separately in a pouch or box. A little care keeps your pleasure safe and stress-free.
