Unlocking Pleasure: A Beginner’s Guide to Embracing Sex Toys
Are you looking to spice things up in the bedroom? From mini vibrators to double-sided vibrators, there is a multitude of sex toys for beginners that’ll give you the power to truly unlock your pleasure — even if you’ve never done it before.
At Bloomi, we get it. The sex toy industry can be intimidating — with so many options in different budgets, shapes and sizes, kink-specific toys and more — but it doesn’t have to be. To help you find your next (or first) toy, we’re here to breakdown what to look out for, below.
Why Using Sex Toys For Beginners is a Game Changer
It’s true: You don’t need anything fancy to get off in the bedroom, but according to the experts, or shall we say sexperts, a toy can definitely add to the fun. Whether you want to have a higher level of orgasm or explore where your body can take you in other ways of pleasure, toys can increase the chance of reaching orgasm, especially for vulva-havers.
What Types of Sex Toys for Beginners Exist?
When you begin your search for starter sex toys, the selection can definitely be hard to sift through, from intense-looking vibrators to anal beads. The good thing, though, is that there are plenty of affordable options to help you dip your toe in the water and find what you like best.
Some sex toys are gender-targeted, like vibrators and dildos are designed for both men and women, offering the ideal shape for stimulating the G-spot, as well as the P-spot. But don’t be fooled; Toys can be used no matter where you are on the gender spectrum.
External vs Internal Sex Toys for Beginners
There are to kinds of sex toys to be familiar with: external vs. internal. External, for example, could be a toy designed to target the clitoris or the perineum, but they’re used outside of the body. If you prefer internal stimulation to your G-Spot or P-spot, though, there are options for that, too. A wand-type vibrator has the length, flexibility, and comfort necessary for internal use.
Some toys can be used for both, though. We personally love The Caress Full-Body Massager ($65) — it’s the perfect example of a toy that can be used for internal and external pleasure and really get you there.
3 Options to Look For When Shopping for Sex Toys as a Beginner
There are a lot of sex toys out there. That being said, you don’t want to invest in just any sex toys for beginners. In our opinion, here are three of the most important things to look out for:
Materials:
Not all sex toys are made equal or from the same grade of materials. You want medical-grade silicone. It’s soft and gentle for your sensitive regions, plus it's safe to use.
Ease of Use:
Too many buttons and features can easily turn a fun bedroom romp into a confusing and complicated headache. Look for sex toys that are easy to use and uncomplicated.
Various Settings:
Keeping things simple is great, but you still want the option to change the pulse or intensity on your vibrator so you can play around and find what suits you best.
