First time exploring? A guide to choosing fun toys for beginners

Curious but unsure where to start? Don't worry, this guide will clear all your doubts.Starting with materials, types, and needs, we'll teach you how to safely and confidently choose your first toy, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and pleasure.

Welcome to this journey of self-discovery and pleasure! Choosing your first sex toy is both exciting and can be a bit overwhelming. Faced with a sea of products, the first question is often, "Where do I start?"

Don't worry, this is perfectly normal. This guide will be your trusted friend, answering all your questions and helping you make a confident choice based on safety, comfort, and personal preference.

Step 1: Focus on safety, starting with the material.
This is the most important step. For products that touch your skin, the material determines both safety and the experience.

Preferred Body-Safe Material:
Medical-grade silicone: This is the gold standard. It's non-porous, non-toxic, odorless, soft and skin-friendly, and heat-resistant for easy sterilization. It's perfect for sensitive skin. ABS plastic: A hard, smooth, odorless plastic often used for external toys or handles, making it easy to clean.

Materials to choose with caution:
TPE/TPR: A soft, elastomer material. It's inherently porous, meaning bacteria and mold can remain even after washing. If you choose a TPE product, be sure to cover it with a condom and change it regularly.

Materials to avoid:
"Chocolate Flavor" or "Mystery Alloy": These cheap, vaguely described materials may contain harmful plasticizers like phthalates, which can cause allergies or irritation.

Tip: When purchasing, prioritize products clearly labeled "medical-grade silicone" or "body-safe." This is the first step to being responsible for your health.

Step 2: Understand the Different Types and Find Your "Pick"
Different toys are designed to provide different types of stimulation. Understanding them can help you narrow down your choices.

Clitoral Vibrators:
Features: Compact and highly targeted. Over 80% of women require external stimulation to reach orgasm, making these toys an excellent "first choice."

Perfect for: Beginners, those who prefer concentrated stimulation, and those using with a partner.

Common shapes: classic bullet, adorable egg yolk, and our popular Pulse Lite Neo  Suction Vibrator.The larger caliber allows for precise centering and excellent quietness, making it ideal for solo exploration.

Internal Stimulation (G-Spot Vibrators):
Features: They often have a curved shape, designed for exploring pleasure points within the body.
Perfect for: Those who seek mixed stimulation (internal and external).
Common shapes: Curved wands.

Dual Stimulation (Rabbit Vibrators):
Features: They provide both internal and external stimulation, a "two-pronged approach."
Perfect for: Those who already know they enjoy mixed stimulation and seek a more effective experience. They may be a bit too stimulating for beginners.

 

 

Universal Stimulation (Wand Massagers):
Features: Powerful vibrations that can be used not only for intercourse but also for massaging sore muscles. Recommended for: Those who enjoy strong, widespread vibrations.

 

Step 3: Ask yourself a few questions to clarify your needs.

Before browsing, ask yourself:

"Do I want external stimulation, internal stimulation, or both?" (Select from the categories above based on your answer.)

"Am I sensitive to noise? Do I need ultra-quiet?" (If soundproofing is poor, quiet is key.)

"What power do I prefer? Gentle, strong, or adjustable?" (Beginners are usually safest starting with a multi-level adjustable model; this allows for a strong option.)

"Is the charging method important?" (USB charging is often more modern, convenient, and environmentally friendly than replacing batteries.)

Step 4: Recommend beginner-friendly products.

Choosing products with simple designs, intuitive operation, and safe materials is the first step to success. Here are a few of our recommendations:

Start simple: Choose an external toy with multiple settings, allowing you to explore your preferred vibration pattern and intensity.

Invest in quality: A toy made of high-quality silicone is not only safer and more hygienic, but also offers a far superior experience and longevity compared to cheaper options.

Don't forget the lube! No matter what toy you use, water-based lubricant is your best friend. It can significantly increase comfort and pleasure, and prevent discomfort or chafing. You can check out our Water-Soluble Lubricant
