How To Choose Your First Sex Toy

So you’ve browsed the sex toys at LoveHoney, checked out a few buyers’ guides and now know exactly what a cock ring does. But how do you actually choose a sex toy for yourself?

LoveHoney have made it ultra easy for you to choose a sex toy you’ll be satisfied with by giving you lots of easy-to-read and simple information on the product page.

Read on to find out more...

 

Size

Size is very important in a sex toy.

If you plan on enjoying clitoral play, then you’ll want something small in length and girth like a LoveHoney Bang Bang Bullet Vibrator.

If you like the idea of pleasurable penetration, then you’ll want something with a good length and a reasonable girth to it, like a Tracey Cox Supersex Rabbit Vibrator.

So where do you find this information out? In the product description you’ll find an area at the bottom called ‘How it measures up’. Here you will find the overall length, the insertable length, the circumference and the diameter.

To determine exactly what size is right for you, consider what you’ve experienced already and what you enjoy most. Massive dildos won’t feel very nice to someone who has never experienced penetration and a slim Ammunition RO-80mm Bullet Vibrator is sure to disappoint a size queen!
 

Shape

Sex toys are no longer phallic shaped monsters made from hard plastic (although we sell those too, if that’s what you fancy). In fact, many sex toys have beendesigned to fit your body perfectly.

When considering the shape of your sex toy, you need to know what you want it to do.

If you want a mind-blowing clitoral orgasm, go for a simple classic vibrator where the vibrations are focused in the tip.

If you want to experiment with G-spot or prostate play then you’ll need a sex toy with a curve at the top of the shaft.

If you want to enjoy anal, then start with something small to aid insertion.

The photos and Sex Toys TV Videos on the product pages allow you to see exactly what shape the sex toy is and where it is designed to go. By checking the different photographic views, you can easily decide if that sex toy will work for you.
 

Power

It is actually possible for a vibrator to be too powerful.

If you’re particularly sensitive, then something as powerful as an Eroscillator 2 Top Deluxe is going to prove painful rather than pleasurable.

However, if you struggle to orgasm, then you’re going to want something with a lot of power and multiple functions.

The easiest way to work out the power of a sex toy is to look at the kind of batteries it takes. The bigger the batteries, or the more there are of them, the more powerful a sex toy is.

The LoveHoney Silencer Quiet Vibrator takes two big C batteries so is exceptionally powerful, yet the BASIC Sex Toys Vibrating Finger Ring only takes tiny G3-A micro cell batteries so is ideal for those who are more sensitive.
