Sex toys are devices designed to produce sexual pleasure through stimulation of erogenous zones. They work through vibration, penetration, suction, or manual movement to stimulate the penis, vagina, clitoris, anus, or other sensitive areas. People use sex toys during masturbation or with partners to reach orgasm, explore new sensations, or address specific sexual needs like difficulty orgasming or erectile dysfunction.

Why Choose Sex Toys

  1. Direct Stimulation: Sex toys deliver focused vibration or pressure exactly where you need it. The clitoris has 8,000 nerve endings concentrated in a small area—toys can target this precisely, making orgasm more achievable than hands alone.
  2. Hands-Free Use During Sex: Vibrators and other toys let you receive stimulation while your hands are free for penetration, kissing, or touching your partner. This solves the common problem of needing two types of stimulation at once.
  3. Consistent Performance: Unlike hands that tire or fingers that cramp, toys maintain steady vibration or pressure for as long as needed. Rechargeable options eliminate battery anxiety mid-session.

Types of Sex Toys

Vibrators

Vibrators produce rapid oscillations to stimulate nerve endings. Wand vibrators have a broad head for clitoral work. Bullet vibrators are compact and precise. Rabbit vibrators combine internal shaft vibration with external clitoral stimulation. Browse vibrators in multiple speeds and patterns to find what triggers your response.

Dildos

Dildos are non-vibrating penetrative toys that insert into the vagina or anus. They provide fullness, G-spot or prostate pressure, and depth that fingers can't reach. Available in curved, ribbed, or textured designs. Many people use dildos during masturbation or ask partners to use them during sex for specific internal stimulation.

Masturbators

Masturbators are sleeves or tunnels designed for penis stimulation. Internal textures mimic vaginal or anal sensations. Some have vibration features. They're held in hand or mounted for hands-free use. Particularly useful for men with erectile dysfunction or those exploring different sensations during solo play.

Anal Toys

Anal toys insert into the anus for internal stimulation. The anus has sensitive nerve endings that respond intensely to pressure. Anal plugs provide fullness. Anal beads offer graduated sensation. Prostate massagers curve to reach the prostate gland, which can produce exceptionally strong orgasms when stimulated directly.

Couples' Toys

Couples' toys are designed for use during partnered sex. Vibrators can be positioned between bodies during penetration. Wearable vibrators attach to the body hands-free. Penetrative toys can be used by one partner on another. These solve the physical problem of simultaneous stimulation during sex.

Who Buys Sex Toys

Women who don't orgasm from penetration: Most women require clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm—penetration alone isn't enough. A vibrator or rabbit toy provides the clitoral stimulation that intercourse doesn't, solving this physiological mismatch. Many women use toys during sex with partners specifically for this reason.

Men with erectile dysfunction: Stimulation from a masturbator or vibrator can help achieve and maintain erection. Some men use toys during partnered sex to maintain firmness. Others use them solo to practise lasting longer or explore sensation without performance pressure.

Choosing Sex Toys

  • Material Safety: Medical-grade silicone, stainless steel, and borosilicate glass are non-porous and won't harbour bacteria. Avoid cheap TPE or jelly materials that can degrade and off-gas. Check that materials are body-safe and stated clearly.
  • Size and Shape: Consider internal anatomy. G-spot toys need a curve. Anal toys need a flared base for safety. Vibrators for external clitoral use can be any shape—find what fits your hand comfortably. Larger doesn't always feel better; many people prefer compact or tapered designs.
  • Vibration Power and Patterns: High-powered vibration suits some people; others find gentle vibration more pleasurable. Multiple patterns (pulse, escalation, steady) offer variety. Test on your hand to gauge intensity before use.
  • Waterproof and Cleanable: Waterproof toys are easier to clean and can be used in the shower or bath. Silicone toys can be boiled for sterilisation. Metal and glass toys survive aggressive cleaning. Cheap materials often aren't truly waterproof.
  • Power Source: Rechargeable toys eliminate battery waste and dead batteries at crucial moments. Battery-operated toys are portable and don't need charging, but cost more long-term. Some prefer manual toys to avoid noise or dependency on power.

Looking After Your Sex Toys

Wash sex toys with warm water and soap immediately after use. Silicone, stainless steel, and glass toys withstand hot water and gentle scrubbing. Rechargeable toys should have their charging ports dried thoroughly. Use water-based lube with silicone toys—silicone lube degrades silicone. Stainless steel and glass toys work with any lube type. Store toys in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade silicone. Keep rechargeable toys charged monthly to maintain battery health.

Goes Well With

Dildos and Dongs

If you enjoy vibrators, non-vibrating dildos add variety through different shapes, sizes, and sensations. Many people alternate between vibration for quick orgasm and dildo penetration for longer sessions or different internal pressure. Shop dildos and dongs to expand your toy collection.
