Contrary to popular belief, there is a sex toy out there for everybody. And we, at Sensually Yours, are here to help you find it. But, you ask, what if it’s my first time purchasing a toy? First of all, we can barely contain our excitement because the world of toys is basically a candy shop of colors, sensations and varieties. And secondly, you’ve come to the right place! So, let’s jump in and help you find the answer to your question, “What’s the best sex toy for me?” 

The Basics

The first, and probably most important, thing to consider as you think about “what is the best sex toy for me” and as you browse through any adult store’s shelves (or website) is whether you’re looking for something to be used externally (on the clitoris, nipples, etc) or internally (vaginally, anally), or are you looking for something that can be both? The distinction is important and can help streamline the selection process for you. And, of course, don’t be afraid to ask the sales associates in the store for help if you’re a little lost. Because, hey, that is exactly what we’re here for!

The next “basic” to consider, now that you’ve thought about the type of toy you’re after, is the kind of sensation you are looking for. Solo sessions with your hands and fingers can sometimes leave something to be desired and homing in on what you want to feel is a great way to help narrow down your choices because let’s face it, the choices are endless, and it can be pretty overwhelming trying to wade through all the brightly colored packaging and strangely shaped toys. This applies also if you’re in the market for a couple’s toy for the first time. Are you looking for something that vibrates? Something with more of a rumbly, deep penetrating gyration? Something that feels more like oral sex? Or maybe you’re looking for something with actual movement like thrusting, rotation, or wiggling? 

Now, this probably should go without saying, but budget can also play a big part in toy selection and figuring out “what is the best sex toy for me”, so don’t be afraid to let the salesperson you’re talking with know where you’d like to keep, price range-wise. There are so many great toys for every budget and this little bit of information is so, so helpful. And lastly, consider the type of battery situation (if your toy has a motor) you’re most comfortable with. Battery operated toys are convenient and are a great option when you just want to test the waters, but rechargeable toys have a much longer life and are often much stronger than their battery-operated counterparts. 

Some important advice to consider while you shop: You might not find your dream toy the first time you shop. A lot of figuring out what you like is trial and error and ultimately, no one knows you better than you. Experiment; be adventurous! The fun is all in the learning!
