  Which type of toy is best for a beginner? If you’re new to the world of sex toys then choosing a toy can seem pretty daunting. Sex toys offer a whole variety of different sensations and there’s plenty to choose from depending on what you are looking for! See below for some of our top toys we would recommend for beginners. Bullet Vibrators Bullet vibrators are perfect for any sex toy newbie. They’re discreet, easy-to-use and make a gentle intro for newcomers.

  Dildos Penetrative toys such as a dildos are another great choice for beginners. You won’t have to worry about fiddling with any buttons and they are super-straight forward to use. When choosing your first dildo we would recommend check the length and girth first. Like all sex toys, it’s good to build up the size slowly. A dildo with a suction cup is also a good idea so can you enjoy a hands-free play. The So Divine Glorious dildo is a great contender for this! Cock rings Cock rings are another great go-to toy for beginners and are fun to use with your partner during sex. They can keep penis owners harder for longer by restricting blood flow ensuring a harder, longer-lasting erection. If you choose a vibrating cock ring such as our Thriller 2in1 ring you can both enjoy pleasure at the same time.

Flared bases are super important when looking to try a butt plug for the first time so you can ensure nothing gets lost!

  Do I need to use lube with sex toys? Lube is a secret weapon that can be used by everyone and can be quite often forgotten about. It’s a bedroom essential! A little dab of lube can make stimulation much more comfortable during your solo sessions or with a partner. If you’ve not already tried using lube whilst masturbating then we highly recommend trying it. We would recommend using a water-based lubricant to start off with! Which sexual wellness products are essential for a beginner’s starter kit? An ideal starter kit for beginners would include a mix of clitoral and penetrative toys. A bullet vibrator, a classic dildo and a water-based lubricant would be a great choice. This allows you to explore a variety of sensations so you can learn what you like. Lubricants are also a game changer and can bring new sensations to play. Should I opt for a g-spot device or a clitoral stimulator? Choosing the right toy can depend on which sensations you enjoy or are looking to explore. G-spot vibrators are great for exploring your internal pleasure spot, whilst clitoral stimulators are ideal for clitoral stimulation. If your goal is to orgasm, then a clitoral stimulator may be a good choice as the majority of vulva owners need clitoral stimulation to reach climax.

  What’s the difference between a suction vibrator and a wand vibrator? Clitoral suction stimulators are gamechangers in the world of sex toys and are ideal for those who want to try something different. These toys work by mimicking oral sex and offering a unique sensation to other classic clitoral toys. The irreplaceable suction stimulator is a super popular choice and if you read the reviews you can find out why! Wand vibrators (or massaging wands as they are also commonly called) are great as a multifunctional product. They can be used for clitoral stimulation but also as an all-over-body massage. You can used them to give a seductive massage during foreplay. Our portable ‘Smooth Operator’ massaging wand is great for beginners due to it’s compact size.

Ensure the toy is completely dry before storing and always remember to store your toys separately using a toy storage bag, box or even a clean sock. Always make sure you use an alcohol-free cleaner/soap as alcohol may erode certain sex toy materials. Can you use sex toys with a partner? Yes!

Buy now Je Joue uma: £75, Jejoue.co.uk (Je Joue ) Best: All-rounder vibrator Rating: 8/10 The classic vibrator – a vibrating shaft – is often underrated. But this is a real gem. It’s soft to the touch and incredibly quiet to use. It’s versatile – suitable to be used for clitoral or internal stimulation, and completely waterproof so you can use it in the shower or bath if you don’t live in a home where privacy is easy to come by.

  Buy now (Ann Summers) Best: For new sensations Rating: 9/10 Ever since Charlotte got addicted to her rabbit in Sex And The City, the rampant rabbit has been a favourite. It’s one of the world’s most popular sex toys for an extremely good reason: because it combines penetration and clitoral stimulation in a way that no other toy has ever been able to compare to. There are lots of different types of rabbits, but this one pays equal attention to internal and clitoral stimulation, so it’s arguably the best of the best. This rabbit is a little different from your average rampant rabbit because the shaft is metal, which means that it’s often a little cooler to the touch, and that the vibration feels slightly crisper.

  The Poet is the latest offering from Smile Makers, famous for being the first sex toys on Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop, and for naming its toys after pin-up occupations (“The Fireman” and “The Tennis Instructor”). The Poet is Smile Makers’ take on the clitoral suction vibrator. But, rather than just emulating the same glorious technology other companies have created, The Poet adds something extra. The sides of the toy are a control, so you can make it more intense by squeezing the toy while using it. It takes a little practice to get a perfect control over the toy, but it functions as an additional layer of mindfulness, making you completely tune into your body as you adjust it. You effectively create a bespoke setting for every single use. Buy now Womanizer starlet 4 function clitoral stimulator: £699, Bondara.co.uk (iDOO) Best: Classic vibrator Rating: 10/10

The Fleshlight is one of the most famous sex toys, though the term “infamous” might be a more apt description. But they’re actually incredibly cleverly designed toys that get glowing reviews. If you’d like to elevate your masturbation from just a session with your own hand, the Fleshlight is absolutely the first place to start. This version is rather more discrete in design which might appeal to first timers.

This version is rather smaller than some of the other rabbit offerings, which makes it a perfect first place to start. All of the same intense, incredible stimulation, but packed into a slightly smaller package. Plus, it’s rechargeable so you don’t have to worry about stealing batteries from your TV remote control.

This particular candle smells utterly divine and leaves your skin feeling like you’ve been at a spa.

But it is the quickest, easiest and arguably the most gratifying way to improve your sex life. Everything feels better with adequate lubrication, but lots of brands either dry up quickly or leave you feeling sticky. It’s condom safe, doesn’t have a scent or a taste, and works better than any other lubricant on the market. Buy now Lelo tiani: £90.30, Lelo.com (Lelo) Best: For mutual orgasms Rating: 9/10 The Tiani is the gold standard for straight couples toys that aim to stimulate both of you equally.

Given that the vast majority of women can’t achieve orgasm from penetration alone, this is a very smart purchase if you want to enjoy mutual orgasms.
