When it comes to sex toys, there is not enough information out there about the different options available to you. This lack of proper information may result from our society’s distraught relationship and shame around sex.

Sex toys can be very confusing; there are several different categories and types available, and finding the best one for you may be a headache. With this wide variety, it is pretty easy to buy the wrong product. You may want a vibrator and end up buying a dildo or something that won’t satisfy your needs; this can be very disappointing.

In addition to this, the production and sale of sex toys are not regulated by the FDA. This makes it very easy for companies to put out bad products with very little consequence. These materials go into the body’s orifices; it is very important to purchase sex toys made from materials that are safe for the body. If this is your first time shopping for a sex toy, you are in luck. This guide has all the information you need to help you prepare for your sex-toy journey.

Different Categories of Sex Toys

It is easy to get confused when you want to buy vibrating panties or other sex toys like a realistic sex doll. This is because many of these toys have similar shapes and sizes. Here is a breakdown of the different categories of sex toys.

Vulva Sex Toys

The outer part of the female genital is referred to as the vulva; it includes the clitoris, the most sensitive area of the vulva. Vulva toys can be classified into dildos and vibrators.

  • Dildos: A dildo is a long, cylindrical toy that looks a lot like a penis. Some dildos are designed with veins and flesh-like structures, making them look realistic. They are available in different sizes and colors. These toys do not vibrate and are to be inserted into the vagina.
  • Vibrators: Vibrators are probably the most complex types of sex toys out there. There are many different types, like the rabbit vibrator, bullet vibrator, and vibrating panties. The one common similarity between them is that they vibrate.

Vibrators can be subdivided into external and internal vibrators. External vibrators are to be used to stimulate the clitoris. Examples are bullet and wireless vibrating panties. Internal vibrators are also called the G-spot wand. They are phallic-shaped like dildos and are curved to reach the G-spot area. There are also dual vibrators like the rabbit that can stimulate the clitoris and G-spot at the same time.

Penis Toys

Penis toys are used by penis owners. Common examples are cock rings and masturbation sleeves.

  • Cock rings: These are rings that are worn around the base of the penis to restrict blood flow. This produces harder erections, can help control climax, and produce more intense orgasms. There are different types of cock rings; some even vibrate.
  • Masturbation sleeves: These are commonly referred to as the Fleshlight, a very popular sleeve brand. Masturbation sleeves are sleeves worn on the penis for masturbation (just as the name implies). Fleshlights typically look like a vagina or anus.

Anal Toys

Anal toys are a special category of sex toys because they need to be used with caution. The anus typically has 2 rings, an outer ring that can be controlled or tightened voluntarily and an inner ring that cannot be controlled. The inner ring has a strong sucking power, making it easier for toys to get sucked in, leading to serious injuries.

  • Butt plugs: Butt plugs or anal plugs are tear-shaped anal toys with a flared base. The tear-shaped tip makes it easy to go in your bum while the flared base stops it from getting sucked up. These come in vibrating or non-vibrating materials and are designed with different materials.
  • Anal beads: Anal beads are made up of bead-like shapes, usually spheres, but can be oval or pill-shaped and are attached by a long string. It has a stopper at the end, allowing you to grip it to insert or pull it out. These are different types and materials; the best ones are made from silicone and are much more flexible and easier to use.
  • Anal dildos: These are usually paired with a strap-on for pegging. The dildos fit into a harness and are perfect for anal sex.
