The Best Beginners Sex Toys

It’s good to keep an open mind and explore your sexual side, right? So why not get stuck into something new, starting with new experiences in the bedroom? New sex toys are great for enhancing your bedroom antics and there’s no better time to introduce them than now. Whether you’re after some solo play or looking for the best sex toys for couples to use, we’ve put everything you need to know into this handy guide to help you on your way.

Sex toys for beginners

The world of sex toys can be a lot to take in at first as there’s so many different types to choose from. From bullets, to vibrators, dildos and many more (we could keep going but we’d be here all day), where do you start with first time sex toys?

To ease you into it, one of the first sex toys we’d recommend you try is the vibrating bullet. They’re small and discreet, and perfect for beginners. Even though they’re small, they’ll make a huge difference to your bedroom activities and will definitely ramp up that clitoral stimulation.

Another one we’d start with is a beginner dildo. With dildos, you can choose which style tickles your fancy – which is why it’s perfect for a first timer. Large, small, realistic, double ended – there’s many options to choose from (however, we’d recommend leaving the double ended until you’re a bit more experienced!). Realistic dildos have veiny textures for extra stimulation, but more discreet designs might be your preferred choice – whichever style you go for, it’s your choice but just remember to ease yourself in gently!

The best sex toys for solo play

If you’re looking to purchase new sex toys for masturbation, then look no further than the suction cup dildo. Perfect for taking solo play to a new level, they allow for hands-free use meaning you can tease and please elsewhere. Suction cup dildos need to be stuck onto a hard surface, we recommend trying this in the shower, trust us – you won’t regret it!

For some hints, tips and tricks when it comes to using your new toy, check out our how to use a suction cup dildo. guide.

Boys, don’t forget there are plenty of male masturbation sex toys for solo fun for you too! Why not explore the new year with something from our range of men’s sex toys? Including fleshlights and vibrating strokers, these guarantee to elevate your solo play and provide intense stimulation.

The best sex toys for couples: Beginners addition

If you’re wanting to spice things up and experiment in (or out!) the bedroom as a couple, one of the best sex toys to start with is cock rings The aim of a cock ring is to keep the penis harder for longer, slowing them down, whilst also stimulating the clit – it’s a win-win situation really. Other toys such as bullet vibrators are also great as they’re small and less intimidating when you’re just starting out.

The best anal toys for beginners

As you become more experienced and confident with your beginner sex toys, you could introduce toys for anal play. Our range of anal toys includes starter kits to get you going. Don’t dive straight into the deep end as it may not be a pleasant experience, it’s best to ease yourself in and work your way up!

The essentials for sex toy maintenance

One thing we would say when it comes to sex toys is always remember to use lube, and when using lube with your toy, make sure it’s the right one! Silicone toys require a water-based lube as silicone or oil-based will stick to the material and start to erode the surface of your toy. Read our guide on everything you need to know about lube for more information!

We’d also highly recommend using a condom with your toy if you’re experimenting with a partner to stop the spread of any infections, and just to keep it cleaner!
