When it comes to sex toys we’re spoiled for choice these days.
There’s top retailers like Lovehoney, THE ICONIC, Adore Beauty and Amazon all stocking extensive ranges meaning it’s never been easier to get your self-love on.
But with so much choice out there it can be overwhelming at times — which is why we’ve enlisted the help of five experts to help narrow things down.
Read on for our expert guide to the best sex toys, how to pick the best one for you and how to use one for the first time.
Our pick? The Lovehoney X ROMP Switch Clitoral Suction Stimulator which comes recommend by Chantelle Otten and rave reviews by shoppers.
One satisfied customer, who described it as “Fan-Pulsing-Tastic”, said: “This baby had me all done and dusted in about 20 seconds and I wasn’t prepared for it, absolutely amazing … buy this and brace yourselves ladies!” Another five-star review wrote “Game changing. Oh my god.”
HOW TO PICK A SEX TOY FOR THE FIRST TIME
Sexologist and Lovehoney ambassador Chantelle recommends starting with some research around “what it is you really like and what you want from a toy”.
“My advice would be to start small and something that’s middle of the road price-wise, and when you know what you enjoy you can work your way up!” Chantelle told news.com.au. “It’s also worth noting that some people need to try a toy a couple of times before they really get their groove.”
Similarly, Lovehoney sex and telationship expert Christine Rafe recommends “using what you already know about what feels the most pleasurable for you” when selecting your first toy”.
Frenchie’s ‘Professor of Pleasure’ (aka sexuality coach and sex educator) Eleanor Hadley agrees, recommending newbies “start your sex toy collection with something that compliments the way you already come”.
BEST SEX TOYS FOR DUAL STIMULATION
If you’re interested in maximising your pleasure in the bedroom look no further than a vibrator that’s designed for dual stimulation.
“Dual stimulation is the best way to achieve those delicious blended orgasms. When searching for a sex toy to do the trick, look for something with a nice C- or U-shape as this will allow both your clitoris and G-spot to be stimulated at the same time,” Eleanor said.
“It’s ideal if you can adjust the toy to work with your body, so look for something quite flexible to ensure you hit the right spots for you.”
