Whether you're looking to spice up your sex life, are seeking a new kind of satisfaction, or want to tame your body, finding the right toy for your needs isn't always easy.
Whether you're a seasoned sex addict or a newbie, and regardless of your genitals, we've got a few questions to think about to help you choose your next source of pleasure, starting with the following: Which erogenous zone do you want to stimulate?
Toys for the clitoris
There is no shortage of options when it comes to stimulating the clitoris. With its thousands of nerve endings dedicated exclusively to pleasure and its roots that embrace the vaginal canal, it is thanks to it that all so-called female orgasms are achieved. Yes, ALL of them. So we can stimulate it externally (the glans), internally (the G-spot), or both at the same time, why not!
Toys for the glans of the clitoris
What kind of stimulation do you prefer: targeted or broad?
Targeted stimulation
Toys designed for targeted stimulation of the clitoral head are known to deliver orgasms in record time. There's a reason they're so popular!
Bullet vibrator / mini vibrator
If you want to succumb to pleasure in a subtle way, a bullet vibrator or a mini vibrator will be a wise choice. Small in size, this type of toy allows you to target the head of the clitoris with precision in addition to being able to slip into any bag to be able to take it everywhere discreetly.
Suction toy
With a mouthpiece that encases the head of the clitoris and uses airflow to create a suction effect, a suction toy is the perfect option for a gentle session filled with incredible orgasms. Indirect stimulation is great for sensitive clits, but this technology also helps to increase blood flow to that area of your body, which can increase pleasure.
Cunnilingus simulator
Want to have oral sex at your fingertips? A cunnilingus simulator is the perfect option for you. Add a few drops of your favorite water-based lube and let the movements of your tongue gently caress your clitoris. Plus, some models of cunnilingus stimulators have the option of vibration—a little extra that we can't say no to.
Vibrator for couple
Specially designed for intimate moments with a partner, couples vibrators allow you to stimulate both partners at the same time, offering a symbiotic pleasure experience that is sure to strengthen your bond. There are several options available to you depending on the erogenous zones involved: some are worn on the penis , others are held in place on the vulva or are controlled remotely . Whatever your desires, you will certainly find something to satisfy them.
Extended stimulation
Direct stimulation on the glans of the clitoris may seem too intense for some people. If this is the case for you, we suggest you opt instead for a toy with a larger playing surface to discover an infinite world of sensations.
Vibrator
We recommend a classic in the world of sex toys: the wand vibrator (or vibrator ). Its large head allows you to cover a wider erogenous zone and play as a couple. Its long handle makes it ideal for exploring different positions. Start gently by caressing the entire vulva area to awaken your senses and let the pleasure gradually build.
Rubbing toy
Enjoy an active masturbation session by straddling a toy to rub yourself . Place it on a cushion, the arm of a sofa or on a chair and let yourself be carried away by your fantasies.
G-Spot Toys
Same question here: are you looking for targeted or broad stimulation?
Targeted stimulation
For you, the important thing is to get from point A to point G? Whether you're already a fan or in exploration mode, head straight for the target with a toy designed especially for the cause.
G-spot stimulator
Awaken the nerve endings of this highly erogenous zone with an ergonomic toy like a G-spot stimulator specially designed to massage the clitoris internally, and discover new possibilities of pleasure.
G-spot vibrator
Need a little more stimulation to reach the peak of pleasure? Choose a G-spot vibrator , to send the right vibrations directly to this particularly erogenous zone, and let it do all the work while you enjoy it to the fullest.
Extended stimulation
If you're most turned on by the friction of the thrusting motions, you might want to opt for a textured toy that will caress the walls of your vagina and awaken the roots of your clitoris.
Dildo
There are a variety of dildo options out there , from realistic ones to ones that don't even look like a penis. No matter your preference, we suggest choosing a textured one to enhance the sensations. There are even some with a suction cup base to keep your hands free. These versatile toys can also be used for anal penetration, if you're feeling fancy.
Double stimulation
Looking for even more sensations? Opt for a toy that offers you external and internal stimulation at the same time.
Rabbit vibrator
There's nothing better than a rabbit vibrator to fully arouse the clitoris and enjoy deep orgasms. An external stimulator is placed on the head of the clitoris while an internal stimulator is inserted into the vagina to stimulate its roots (the G-spot). Obviously, it's the ideal toy for a solo session, but you can also use it with a partner.
Suction G-spot Vibrator
Welcome to the best of both worlds: the head of the suction G-spot vibrator sits on the clitoris and gently stimulates it, while the internal part vibrates and caresses the G-spot.
Pelvic floor training
Strengthening your pelvic floor has all sorts of benefits, such as helping to prevent urinary incontinence, but more importantly, it tones your vaginal muscles, which can intensify sensations and lead to more powerful orgasms! A set of Kegel balls is ideal for combining business with pleasure and exercising while having fun.
Penis toys
The penis, too, is home to thousands of nerve endings, particularly in the glans, but also at the base, near the testicles. That said, the two main categories of stimulation available to you are delayed ejaculation and friction.
Delayed ejaculation
Cock ring
Whether you want a little help to make the pleasure last longer, whether you're more into penis bondage, or whatever your reason, you'll definitely find what you're looking for with a cock ring . This type of toy engorges the blood in your erect member, allowing you to delay your ejaculation and have a more intense orgasm.
You can opt for a simple model, or choose one with a built-in vibrator , which is particularly useful if you are going to have fun with someone with a clitoris.
Back and forth stimulation
Masturbation sheath
A simple option that allows you to discover new sensations, without having to worry about it. Choose a masturbation sleeve to spice up your masturbation sessions or use one to enhance practices for two people such as fellatio.
Masturbator
For a slightly more sophisticated toy option, masturbators are a good option. With their hard shell, they allow for a better grip, for even more control over the sensations. Some even offer a natural suction effect and others have an automatic thrusting function for an out-of-this-world pleasure experience.
Toys for the anus
At the risk of repeating myself and like all erogenous zones, the anus is full of nerve endings that can provide waves of pleasure when stimulated. In addition to the delicious feeling of fullness that anal stimulation provides, people with a prostate can access a new source of pleasure by stimulating it.
For an introduction to anal pleasure
Scalable anal plug set
Are you looking to discover new sensations or broaden your horizons? We suggest you go with a set of anal plugs , to introduce you to this type of pleasure and work on your elasticity at the same time.
Feeling of fullness
Anal plug
Yes, this type of toy is suggested for beginners, but it is also a favorite among anal pleasure enthusiasts. If it is a feeling of fullness that you are looking for rather than movement, opt for a toy that you can wear, leaving your hands free to better use them elsewhere. The ideal? An anal plug . They come in all sizes and types, from the simplest to those with different vibration modes .
Friction stimulation
Anal Beads Row
Opt for a row of anal beads, to enjoy the gentle back-and-forth sensation. It's the removal of the beads one by one that makes this toy beautiful. Some options also have a motor and different vibration modes to increase the sensations.
Don't forget that dildos are also a great option to explore anal penetration at your leisure.
Prostate stimulation
P-spot stimulator
Your prostate can give you explosive orgasms, and there's nothing better than a P-spot stimulator to help you do just that. There are even multi-stimulation toys designed to target your perineum at the same time for a completely explosive experience.
Other things to consider in your toy choice
Its composition
Your genitals are precious and delicate. That's why we encourage you to use toys made of safe materials to ensure you treat them with the best care.
Consider getting a toy made of a non-porous material (which could otherwise trap bacteria) and that doesn't contain carcinogens, such as phthalates. Options made of food- or medical-grade silicone, glass, or steel are recommended.
The little extras
Depending on the type of toy, what you want to use it for, and whether you plan to use it alone or with a partner, you'll want to pay attention to the little details that can make all the difference. For example, does it have multiple intensity or speed options so you can find the perfect fit for your needs? Does it come with a remote control so you can have your hands free or give control to your partner? Is it easy to clean? Can you use it in the bath?
The size of the toy
The dimensions of the toy can also be important to consider when shopping.
Depending on your tastes and your choice, a small toy can be ideal for targeting a specific erogenous zone, to be slipped into the right place even when in a glued position, or even be a good starting point if you want to penetrate a hole that has rarely been penetrated, or that you want to tame quietly following certain traumas.
A large toy allows you to stimulate an area more extensively, but may also be easier to handle. A long handle, for example, is ideal if you have difficulty with your mobility or to position yourself in multiple ways without having to contort yourself.
Gentle reminder: You don't have to adapt to sex toys. Sex toys should adapt to your body.
Autonomy and recharging
If you're the type to take your time, you'll want to choose a toy with the longest battery life possible.
The ideal, for you, but also for the planet, is also to choose a rechargeable toy. Moreover, the majority of toys are now rechargeable, thanks to a USB cable. Whether you plug it into the wall, your computer or the cigarette lighter of your car, it will always be ready for your next orgasm.
An infinite world of options
If there's one industry that's always on the lookout for the latest technological trends, it's the sex industry. Do you have specific needs? There's definitely a toy that can satisfy them. So, let yourself go!
