For many women, sex toys can feel like opening the door to a whole new world. The curiosity is strong, but so are the worries—especially if you’re inexperienced. What if you pick something that’s not right for you? This guide is here to answer all those burning questions and help you better understand your own needs.
- Check for Discreet Shipping
Since it’s an adult product, it’s fine if you live alone, but if you live with family, you definitely don’t want package details exposed. It could be embarrassing if your parents saw it when the delivery arrives. - Ask About Freebies
If they don’t include a lubricant, they could at least offer disinfectant wipes for the toy. You don’t want the toy arriving without any useful extras. That would just complicate things! - Pay Attention to the Material
This is something you’ll be using for yourself, so it’s important to be mindful of the material. Avoid plastic-based toys—they’re just not great quality or feel.
Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s move on to the real deal. For beginners (and at least 80% of women), I recommend choosing an external toy. Newcomers often aren’t familiar with their anatomy, let alone finding the G-spot, which can be quite tricky.
Even if you’ve had sexual experience, internal toys might not be the best fit. Most women derive pleasure from the clitoral area, and stimulating that part can lead to quick orgasms while giving you full control. Some worry that using toys might make them less sensitive, but as long as you don’t overdo it, you’re fine. Toys are just another way to explore your body—if it feels good, continue; if not, stop.
As someone who works in the adult products industry, I compare various toys and test them out myself. Personally, I use a suction toy. One thing to note: if the suction part is exposed to air, it can be slightly unhygienic. That’s why many products come with storage bags. Since I’m a bit lazy, I prefer to store it away and just use it directly when I want.
