Our best reccomendations for sex toys!
Finding the right sex toy can be like picking the perfect partner: you need a good idea of what you’re into – because the wrong choice can leave you sorely disappointed! But with so many models on the market, how do you know which sex toy is worth spending your hard-earned cash on?
In this blog, we’re going to share a few of our favoured recommendations on the best sex toys for women, and give you some pointers on shopping for the toy of your (wet) dreams.
Let’s get down to business.
How to choose the right sex toy
Shopping for a sex toy can be fun and empowering, but with so many options out there, it can also be a tad overwhelming. Before you start trawling the web, here are some pointers to help you determine your personal preference:
1. Understand your needs
- Type of stimulation: Determine whether you're looking for clitoral, vaginal, or anal stimulation, or a combination of the lot.
- Intensity and Mode: Think about the level of intensity you enjoy. Some toys offer gentle vibrations, while others provide powerful pulses. Many toys come with adjustable settings!
- Experience level: If you're brand new to the sex toy game, you might want to start with something simple and user-friendly, before moving up to more advanced toys with multiple functions and features.
- Noise level: If you need to be discreet, consider the noise level of your sex toy. Some toys are designed to be whisper-quiet, which can be important if you live with others.
2. Consider size, shape, features, and functions
- Proportions: Consider the size and shape that will be most comfortable for your body. For penetrative toys, ponder the girth and length; for external stimulators, think about the shape and how it will fit against your body.
- Remote control/app-controlled: Some toys can be controlled remotely or via an app, adding a fun and interactive element to your play (especially for couples).
- Waterproof: If you want to use your toy in the bath or shower, make sure it's waterproof!
- Rechargeable vs. battery-operated: Rechargeable toys are more environmentally friendly and often more powerful, but battery-operated toys can be more convenient and discreet.
3. Evaluate price and quality
- Budget: While it can be tempting to go for cheaper options, investing in a high-quality toy can make a significant difference in terms of safety, durability, and overall experience.
- Reviews: Always read reviews from other users to get an idea of the toy's performance and reliability.
We’d recommend looking for toys made from body-safe materials, such as medical-grade silicone or stainless steel. Avoid toys made from jelly or rubber, as these may contain harmful chemicals.
Our sex toy recommendations
So, which sex toys would we recommend?
The Kaito Sky
Kaito Sky is the first vulval and clitoral vibrator recommended and sold by us. The smooth, flat surface of Kaito Sky had been made with external and vulval massage in mind. Kaito Sky has a soft textured finish and teardrop-shaped tip, ideal for stimulating the clitoris and massaging the vaginal entrance or perineal area.
The Womanizer
They might carry a hefty price tag, but Womanizer toys are designed to bring you to the peak of pleasure. With pleasure air technology that makes sure the 8,000 clitoral nerve endings are never over-stimulated, you might just discover a new kind of orgasm – without ever touching your clitoris! Who’d have thought it?
The Rose
Gaining fame across TikTok (and in bedrooms up and down the country), the Rose is designed to unleash sexual bliss! Waterproof, rechargeable, and made with body-safe materials, its unique petal-like structure offers a uniquely intimate experience that can be customised with ease. It’s size also makes it super discreet!
Lelo
With a range of toys to suit your satisfaction, Lelo is one of the best loved sex toy brands in the UK and abroad. Lelo's Soraya 2, a luxurious upgrade of their beloved Soraya, is a conveniently rechargeable vibrator designed for delectable dual stimulation. And with 12 adjustable vibration settings, it’s easy to find the most heavenly pressure for you.
Rampant Rabbits
Ann Summers’ Rampant Rabbits are the stuff of legend. With a wand to suit every budget – from the intro rabbit at £22, to the We Vibe Nova Remote Control G-Spot Vibrator at £120, you can maintain constant contact with your clitoris, while stimulating your G-spot. While on the pricier end, the We Vibe has the added benefit of a ‘play and share control’ with its free We-Connect App – allowing you to play with your partner if the fancy takes.
Using lube with your sex toys
Lube can take your entry-level masturbation and SUPERCHARGE it to the big leagues! If you experience vaginal dryness or discomfort during sex, whether solo or with a partner, using a good quality lubricant can make a monumental difference to your pleasure and comfort levels. Just make sure you’re steering clear of silicone-based lubricants if you’ve opted for a silicone sex toy, as these can make the surface of the sex toy more porous and heighten your risk of infection.
Use a generous amount, reapply as often as needed, and opt for certified organic lubes to avoid irritation or discomfort. Every YES® lubricant is certified organic, natural, and designed to be side effect free – making them ideal for use with sex toys.
Embracing masturbation
Masturbation can be a wonderful way to explore your own body, in your own time, and under your own control. Approach masturbation with curiosity, and without pressure. Even if you don’t achieve orgasm the first (or 50th!) time, you can still experience the pleasurable, stress-relieving benefits of getting to know what feels good to you.
