Vagina Toys

Dildo – A penis-shaped toy used for sexual stimulation. They come in various lengths and widths. The oldest toys found are around 28,000 years old.

Vibrator – These are the same as dildos, but they have internal motors that vibrate to provide extra stimulation. Some are waterproof, rechargeable, or use batteries. Some expensive models can be used with other Connect sex toys via Bluetooth or remote app.

Wearable dildo – A dildo or vibrator that needs to be worn with a harness during sexual activity. The key feature to look for is how big the “O” ring is. Dildos need to have a wide base so they don’t slip over the O-ring.

They are small, marble-shaped, weighted balls that are inserted into the vagina for sexual stimulation, but primarily to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

Not to be confused with anal beads

Penis Toys

Masturbator – Other names include “Onaholes” or “Fleshlights” (a well-known brand). They are soft, skin-like flexible tubes that go around the penis to provide extra stimulation during masturbation.

Magic Wand

You might be considering Hitachiyou are right! However, since this “back massager” came onto the market, many other models have appeared on the market – some good, some terrible.

Good is powerful, but Not for internal use (Unless you have an attachment that converts it). Great for vaginal, penile, or external anal stimulation. Also great for use during intercourse!

Don’t use battery-powered ones. Stick with rechargeable, wireless versions, or wired ones if you don’t mind the hassle.

Butt Toys

Anal plug – Conical toys for rectal insertion. Shorter than dildos, with a flared base to prevent the toy from getting lost in the rectum. Anal Trainer They are all the same, but come in sets (from small to large) to help people ease into anal sex.

Anal beads – A long string of balls connected by a string or rope. They are slowly inserted into the rectum one by one and then pulled out at orgasm for extra stimulation.

Prostate Massager – Men have their own G-spot (called the P-spot). Prostate toys are curved to stimulate this area. Some vibrate, some don’t, but none of them are “thrust” devices.

Sex Toy Facts: In some countries, sex toys are illegal.

Sex Machine

A mechanical device that utilizes penetration or rotation at various speeds.

Even though these attachments are dildos, vibrators, or male masturbators, they still deserve their own category.

You can find Power tools, saddles, rocking chairs, electrical stimulators, or any homemade device.

Sex Toy Facts: More than 50% of women have used sex toys.

Sex Dolls

You might think of the novelty items you find at bachelor parties (blowing up a balloon with your mouth open).

While these models, as well as better/prettier versions, are still in production, the industry has made great strides when it comes to sex dolls. They now look more realistic, are made with body-safe silicone, and feel very close to natural skin.

The base price is about $2000 and goes up from there depending on the level of customization you want…and they can customize it.

Don’t worry ladies, they make male dolls too.

Nipple Toys

Nipple clamps – These devices do just what they say they do. They apply pressure to the nipple (for both men and women), which cuts off blood flow, then re-opens it – the amount of pain and pinching depends on the strength of the clamp.

They are usually used in pairs, sometimes connected by a chain, whether they are tweezer clamps, piercing clamps, clover clamps or clothespin style.

Suction cup – These are designed to increase blood flow and stimulation to the nipple area. Some women can even orgasm this way. Some look like turkey droppers, makeshift breast pumps, or something you’d find in a doctor’s office.

Sex Toy Facts: The Rabbit Vibrator was invented in 1983.

Erotic furniture

This includes any furniture that facilitates sexual activity. These include sex swings, sex gliders, fisting harnesses, angled foam wedges, bondage devices (such as shackles), choke boxes (such as queen stools), love chairs, spanking benches, and sawhorses.

The biggest difference between these and sex machines is that the furniture has no moving parts or electrical components.

BDSM Equipment

Sex toys is a murky (and huge) category. While BDSM toys deserve their own article, we’ll give you an overview here:

General – Restraints, hooks, ball locks, gags, cuffs, bondage gloves, harnesses, belts, hoods, tape, yokes, chest straps, chastity belts, collars, corsets, bondage belts, bondage skirts, spreader bars, monoglots, muzzles, ropes, shackles, sleeping bags, shackles, blindfolds, masks, whips, vampire gloves, canes, paddles… the list goes on.

Where should you go shopping?

Buying from a trusted manufacturer is the first step. Not many products on the market are made with safe materials or assembly/construction methods.

Some recommended sellers: LovinsNjoy, Fleshlight, Tenga, Aslan, Bad Dragon, Divine Interventions, Frisky Beast, Fuze, Hole Punch, Kiiroo, Papaya Toys, Aneros, Doxy, Lelo, OVO, OhMiBod, We-vibe, Crave, L’Amourose, Je Joue , Luxotiq, Maia, Marc Dorcel, Pleasure Works, BS Ateleir, Crystal Delights, Happy Silicone Valley, Jimmy Jane, Laid, Minna Life, Nobessence, PyreXions, Rianne S, Sensuelle, Nomi Tang, Fun Factory

That’s not to say all of their toys are good – just safe.

For example, Je Joue creates toys that are 100% body-safe (I happily give them points for that), but their design, functionality, and pricing are like putting a hundred dollar price tag on a silicone shell filled with trembling cymbal monkeys that don’t work 80% of the time.

For toys that you don’t insert, there are plenty of sellers that offer toys in all price ranges, and you don’t have to worry about body-safe materials (unless you deal with latex and allergies, etc.).

Here are some sites that stock multiple brands…

• Lovehoney.com
• AnnSummers.com
• Liberator.com
• Goodvibes.com
• Holisticwisdom.com

There is Amazon *gag* but I recommend being extra careful when buying from there (vs. regular sellers who don’t sell name brands, especially white label.) Yes, you can find great deals, but the quality is often poor.

Then again, if you just want to try something really cheap before investing in a better option, go for it!
