Here we have listed a couple different kinds of sex toys to give you a better idea of what toy would be best for you and your body! Now remember, when using sex toy’s it is important to clean/sterilize them between uses, especially if you are sharing them!

The most popular kind of sex toy for women is vibrators! A vibrator is used for sexual stimulation by vibrating/massaging your clitoris or g-spot at different settings so you can find your best vibe! But vibrators come in a number of different shapes and sizes with different purposes! Here are a couple of the most common kinds:

Bullet: a small vibrator shaped like a bullet that is used externally (clitoris, nipples) for precis stimulation

Rabbit: used for both clitoral and g-spot stimulation. The “rabbit ears” are used to stimulate the clitoris while the main part is inserted into the vagina

Wand: a vibrator with a long grip handle and a ball on top that vibrates. This can be used all over your body, though is intended to stimulate your clitoris

Finger: fits on to your finger tip and can be used for vaginal and anal penetration as well as clitoral stimulation.

Clitoral: these are vibrators that target the clitoris and therefore should be used externally

G-Spot: are designed to hit the g-spot so must be inserted into the vagina

A dildo is an object shaped like an erect penis that is used for vaginal and anal penetration. Some kinds of dildos include:

Double ended: is like a normal dildo but with two ends to stimulate both partners or both holes. Is very versatile and can be used by same sex couples or both genders for mutual masturbation

Realistic: are dildos that resemble real-life penises through shape, size and texture

Suction Cup: a dildo with a suction cup base allows you to firmly stick it to a flat surface to give you a hands free self-pleasuring experience

While we don’t always associate the anus with pleasure, anal toys can add new pleasurable sensations to masturbating. The most popular ones are:

Butt plugs: butt plugs are inserted into the anus and increase sexual pleasure by putting pressure on erogenous zones, and creating the sensation of “fullness”

Anal beads: are shaped like a thread with a number of little balls attached that you insert into your anus. Inserting and removing anal beads stimulate the anus and rectum that can be very pleasurable
