What Sex Toy Is Right For Me?

Top 3 Tips When Buying Your First Sex Toy

With such a wide array of sex toys and erotic accessories available these days, it can be confusing to sort through all the choices and find the toy that's right for you. There are several important things to consider before you make your purchase, from communicating with your partner to paying attention to quality. Here are three tips to make buying a sex toy a little easier.

1. Involve your partner

If you're in a relationship, you probably intend to use the toy with your significant other. Rather than spring it on an unsuspecting partner – honey, look what I bought! – discuss the purchase beforehand and get your guy's or gal's opinion about what they might like. Do your best to please them and cater to their fantasies. In fact, why not do some browsing in the local adult boutique together? Don't worry; it's okay to giggle when you're checking out some of the astonishing toys you're going to encounter.

2. Try before you buy

If you're completely unfamiliar with the attributes of sex toys, then you might want some hands-on experience before you whip out your credit card. It's hard to get a sense of how the toy works from just a picture. Good adult toy shops will have products out of the package for demonstration purposes, and you're free to look without buying.

Think about the size and shape of the toy in relation to your body or your partner's body and consider the way you intend to use the toy. Turn on powered toys and feel the intensity of the sensation. Pay attention to the sound factor as well. Some toys are very noisy, which might be a problem if the walls in your home are thin. Even if you prefer to buy online, seeing the product up close will help you make a great choice. Whether you buy online or offline, returns of sex toys are usually limited to defective merchandise.

3. You get what you pay for

This is true for almost everything in life and is especially true when it comes to sex toys. Sure, you can readily find cheap toys but they are likely to break quickly or fail to perform as advertised. A shoddy plastic vibrator might be good for a laugh, but it's probably not going to last long or produce the kind of sensations you're looking for.

Sex toys range in price from relatively inexpensive to mind-bogglingly pricey. If you're new to sex toys, look for a product somewhere in the middle price range. Spend enough to get decent quality or you'll be disappointed, but don't invest a lot of money in a toy that you're not positive you will love.

Buying your first sex toy shouldn't be intimidating. This is all about fun, remember. Discuss the subject with your partner and get his or her support. Anticipate how exciting it's going to be when you bring your lovely erotic plaything home. Make a point to look for quality products and use some smart judgment to get the best "bang" for your buck.
