Most women find it easiest to reach an orgasm by stimulating the clitoris. This is why the vibrator is one of the most popular sex toys for women. A vibrator vibrates in a way that stimulates the nerves of your clitoris and vagina. A climax is almost bound to follow!

“A vibrator vibrates in a way that stimulates the nerves of your clitoris and vagina.”

There are hundreds of different vibrators. The best-known is the rabbit vibrator. This toy has a shaft that you insert into the vagina and a small vibrating stimulator that rests on the clitoris. So, with a rabbit vibrator, you get a double stimulation (the vagina and the clitoris). Such a vibrator often has multiple vibration settings, so you can see for yourself which setting works best for you.

The best vibrator for beginners

Don’t immediately go for a very expensive vibrator or a vibrator with a lot of attachments. It’s better to take your time discovering what you enjoy the most. An excellent vibrator to start with is the Lily vibrator from the EasyToys Online Only collection. This rabbit vibrator is relatively inexpensive, made from soft silicone, and easy to clean. The curved head also stimulates your G-spot. In short, a perfect vibrator to start with.

More vibrators

If the Lily is not quite your thing, you can, of course, pick out a different rabbit vibrator yourself. And if a rabbit vibrator doesn’t appeal to you at all, there are plenty of other types of vibrators to choose from. For instance, G-spot vibrators and mini vibrators are very popular options for beginners.

Air pressure vibrator

A relatively new technology for clitoris stimulation is air pressure stimulation. An air pressure vibrator doesn’t stimulate the clitoris with vibrations but with waves of air pressure. The vibrator has a small oval head that is placed over the clitoris. The toy doesn’t come into contact with the clitoris but stimulates it using pulsating air pressure waves. This creates a feeling akin to sucking, which might be best compared to oral sex. An air pressure vibrator is an excellent toy to start with because it subtly stimulates the clitoris. Women who have trouble reaching orgasm should definitely try out this toy!

Dildos for beginners

• 
  Realistic Dildo - 15 cm
  EasyToys Dildo Collection
  £25.89 £13.80
• 
  Cliff Realistic Dildo - 22 cm
  Real Fantasy
  £34.52 £19.33

A dildo doesn’t vibrate like a vibrator. Dildos are perfect for those who are more into vaginal stimulation. If you’re also looking to stimulate the G-spot, it is best to look for a dildo with a curved shaft. The G-spot is located on the stomach-side of your vagina. A curved tip can hit that spot just right.

Our dildo choice for beginners

When buying a dildo for the first time, a realistic-looking dildo is a good option. Realistic dildos look like a real penis. They often have a realistically shaped scrotum and veins that run along the shaft of the penis.

“Don’t start too big! Pick a dildo with an insertion depth of about 15 centimetres. This is a good size to start with.”

Don’t start too big! Pick a dildo with an insertion depth of about 15 centimetres. This is a good size to start with. Many dildos come with a suction cup so you can also enjoy yourself without having to use your hands.

What else do we recommend…

A glass dildo is a good alternative to the realistic dildo. The glass dildos are made of smooth, safe, and easy to clean material. With some warm or cold water, the toys can easily be heated or cooled. This creates an extra sensation!

Anal toys for beginners

  £43.16 £25.89
• 
  Pathicus Nine Bulb Silicone Anal Beads
  Master Series
  £28.48 £12.94

The anus has countless nerve endings that like to be stimulated! There are three types of anal toys: anal beads, anal dildos or vibrators, and butt plugs.

Anal beads

If you want to start with anal stimulation for the first time, anal beads are an excellent option. The beads gradually increase in size so you can work your way up to a larger size.

Butt plug sets

You can also start with a butt plug set. With a butt plug set, you can experiment with different sizes and discover which size is the best fit for you. Always start with the smallest one. If you want to take it up a notch, you can always switch to a larger size.

Anal vibrators

Lastly, you could also start with an anal vibrator. Pick a toy with a small tip as those are easier to insert. The vibrations relax the muscles of your anus and make the toy easier to insert. A vibrator with a curved tip can be used to stimulate the prostate.

One final tip

Whatever toy you end up choosing, always make sure you pick a toy that is specifically meant for the anus. These sex toys are always equipped with a ring, a flat base, or a different type of stop. This way, the toy can never go all the way in. After all, nobody wants to make a doctor’s appointment after an adventurous night like that!

With a cock ring, you will enjoy a firmer and longer-lasting erection. The ring is pulled over the base of the penis. This way, blood can still flow to the penis, but it doesn’t flow back as quickly. Because of this, a cock ring can be a solution for men who are dealing with erection issues.

What’s the best cock ring to start with?

We can imagine that not every man knows their penis girth. In that case, a cock ring set is a smart first choice. A cock ring set consists of multiple rings of different sizes. Want to stimulate your partner more? Then a vibrating cock ring is an excellent choice! The vibrations stimulate her clitoris and also feel nice for you!

Cock ring size

There are many different types of cock rings. Apart from the silicone variety, there are also rings made of metal, rubber, and leather. Always remember to measure the circumference of your penis before purchasing so you know you’re buying the right size ring.

When a group of men gets together at the pub, they may well laugh at masturbation aids, but we guarantee that at least one of those men has a Fleshlight or a Tenga Egg in their nightstand!

“Masturbators are fun, offer a lot of pleasure, and can be stored easily.”

There is nothing to be ashamed of: they’re fun, offer a lot of pleasure, and can easily be stored if you don’t want to use them for a while. Masturbators are proof that sex toys are not just for women.

Start off simple with a Tenga Egg

These days, entire collections of sex toys are specifically designed for men, with plenty of variety and diversity; you’ll definitely find something to your liking! From super realistic to super practical, vibrating and massaging. But what’s the best one to start with? Try a Tenga Egg. These are small disposable masturbators and can be bought for a relatively low price.

Masturbation sleeves

Masturbation sleeves have a stimulating texture on the inside. The sleeves are often ribbed and napped on the inside to provide extra stimulation to the penis. Try an inexpensive artificial vagina or anus first. Masturbators by the brand FFPR fall within this category.

“The sleeves are often ribbed and napped on the inside to provide extra stimulation to the penis.”

If you enjoy the feeling these masturbators provide, you can switch to a more expensive toy such as a Fleshlight. With this masturbator, you can choose between a mouth-, vagina-, or anus opening. Also, Fleshlight masturbators sometimes have different sleeves, each with its own stimulating structure.
