Anal Sex Toys
While there are some vibrators and dildos/dongs that are intended for
anal use, this category covers all other kinds of anal toys - butt plugs
and anal beads. When using any anal toy, be sure to apply plenty of lube
to the toy and your anus for smooth, safe penetration.
Butt plugs tend to vary widely in length, but they’re generally wider
than most other sex toys meant for anal use. Because of this feature,
butt plugs are mainly the playground for experienced anal toy users
instead of beginners. Butt plugs also contain a large flat base so butt
plugs can be easily removed.
Anal beads are a string of several beads that can be inserted anally.
These beads start off small and then grow larger, offering something for
beginners and experienced sex toy users. Some of the anal beads even
vibrate with movement so just walking to the water cooler can send your
rear tingling. |

Dildo and Dong Sex Toys
Dildos and dongs are sex toys meant for vaginal or anal penetration.
These sex toys are made from a wide variety of materials and are
typically phallic-shaped. Unlike vibrators, dildos and dongs do not have
a motorized component so you never have to worry about running low on
battery power at a crucial moment! Many dildos and dongs come with
suction cups so you can place them in special positions for a more
interesting experience. Double dongs or double dildos make it possible
for two people to enjoy the dildo or dong at the same time. Double dongs
are basically two dongs joined together with some extra material in the
middle for flexibility.
Dildos and Dongs are so similar that the terms are practically
interchangeable. However, true sex toy connoisseurs know that dildos are
the more realistic of the two - often looking like a penis complete to
base shaped like a pair of balls. |

Erection Enhancing Sex Toys
Erection Enhancers include several types of sex toys, such as cock
rings, that are designed to affect the penis by adding length or by
restricting blood flow to prolong an erection.
Extensions are used to add length and girth to average or below-average
penises. Extension sex toys fit over the head of the penis - typically
adding 2 to 3 inches to the length and as much as 2 inches to the width
of a penis. These are often designed similar to condoms, in that you
position them at the tip of your penis and roll them downward into
place. NOTE: Extensions are not designed to replace condoms.
Cock rings fit snugly around the base of the penis shaft. These sex toys
provide a tight fit that restricts blood flow to the penis, prolonging
the erection and also adding slightly to length and girth. There are
many different varieties of cock rings. Some are sized to also fit
around the balls to increase the time it takes to ejaculate. Many cock
rings also include some sort of mini-vibrator used to stimulate your
partner and yourself. For safety reasons, you should never use a cock
ring for more than 20 minutes to allow for proper blood circulation. |

Love Doll Sex Toys
Love doll sex toys bring to mind a balloon blow-up hanging out at a
college frat party or a bachelor party! Love dolls today are far more
sophisticated - some top-notch dolls are even so realistic that they’re
almost scary!
The majority of love dolls are shaped like a woman, albeit a short one.
Love dolls typically have openings in their mouth, vagina and anus (also
called the Greek opening) that can be used for insertion. These openings
tend to be similar to masturbation sleeves, made from a soft jelly
material with a small opening. You should look for love dolls where
these openings are removable so they can be easily cleaned. Quality love
dolls also include egg vibrators for further stimulation. |

Masturbator Sex Toys
Masturbators, also called strokers, sleeves, or pocket pussies, these
hand-held toys are meant to make male masturbation more enjoyable. They
are typically made from either jelly, silicone or cyberskin and have a
small hole at either end. The outside can be shaped like a pair of lips
or a vagina complete with hair while the inside usually has a series of
ridges or pleasure nubs for a more realistic and exciting sensation.
While you can use your hand in a pinch, many men prefer the smoother,
tighter sensation of masturbators as the more realistic feel leads to
more powerful orgasms.
When using masturbators, it’s important to use plenty of lube on your
penis and on the inside of the masturbator to prevent damage to the sex
toy. |
| |
Pump Sex Toys
Pump are specialized sex toys aimed to enhance overall penis size or at
men who might have problems attaining an erection. You place the special
pump chamber tightly over your penis and then pump out the air. This
creates a strong form of suction in the chamber which leads to blood
rushing into the penis and creates the largest possible erection. After
removing the pump, most users will use a cock ring to help sustain their
increased size for longer periods of time.
There are also pussy pumps for women. These
pumps function just like the male penis pumps but are designed to fit
snugly over the vagina and are targeted to stimulate the clitoris and
the vaginal area.

Penis Sleeve Sex Toys
Sleeves are meant to fit around the penis for enhanced sensation.
Sleeves are snug enough to stay in place but aren’t really snug enough
to restrict blood flow like a true cock ring. Some sleeves are several
inches long and covered with pleasure ticklers to provide vaginal and
clitoral stimulation. Others have a special curve at the top for G-Spot
stimulation. And then other sleeves are used to add inches to penis
length. You can also use sleeves on some vibrators for the sake of
variety. |
| |
Strap-on Sex Toys
Strap ons are specialized sex toys that aim to function just like a
penis. Strap ons are usually dildos or dongs that can be locked into
place on a special harness that the user then can wear like panties. The
dildo juts out like a hard penis and can be used for penetrating thrusts
like a real penis.
When shopping for strap-ons, it’s important to look for devices that
have a secure, firm locking system to hold the dildo in place during
penetration. Without that system, the dildo can easily come loose and
ruin the fun for both partners. |

Stimulating Sex Toys
Stimulators is something of a miscellaneous category. This catch-all
category includes cock rings, sleeves and other items decided to
stimulate erogenous zones.
This category also includes unique sex toys designed to be attached to
the nipples either with some sort of suction device or clamps so they
can be worn during sex. These nipple stimulators include some sort of
egg vibrator to provide continuous nipple stimulation. It is important
to form a good seal with the suction sex toys - typically by wetting the
nipple or area in question. This will keep the sex toys in place during
strenuous activities. The sex toy’s speed and intensity are typically
controlled with a remote - allowing easy adjustment depending on your
mood and desires. Some of the upper-scale suction or clamp sex toys are
designed to be used on the vagina or clitoris also. |

Ben-Wa Balls
Ben-Wa balls, sometimes referred to as Love Balls or Pleasure Pearls,
are one of the most misunderstood and under-appreciated sex toys on the
market. They are admittedly unusual compared to vibrators or dildos, but
Ben-Wa balls offer a diverse set of benefits that should please even the
most demanding user.
Ben-Wa balls are a string of specialized beads, anywhere from 4 to 6.
These beads contain a weighted ball bearing that moves inside the balls
whenever you shake them. If you’ve ever tried a pair of Chinese worry
balls, Ben-Wa balls feel and work similarly but are much smaller. They
produce a varied, grinding-type of sensation that provides superior
vaginal or anal stimulation.
Ben-Wa Ball Stimulation
The main attraction is that Ben-Wa balls provide constant stimulation
whenever you move and the motion of the balls is completely random so
you never know what to expect and you never get accustomed to the
sensations like one can with vibrators or other sex toys.
Ben-Wa balls are especially beneficial for Kegal exercises, which
strengthen a woman’s pelvic muscles. By squeezing and releasing the
balls, you can drastically improve the benefits of Kegal workouts while
also rewarding yourself with enhanced pleasure.
Ben-Wa balls are also quite enjoyable to work in and out of the pussy or
ass because their shape differs so much from the straight shaft found on
so many other sex toys. Many users find the new shape to be stimulating
just for the sake of variety. |

Penis Pumps
Penis pumps are basically the opposite of most other pumps you’ve ever
encountered. Instead of inflating bike tires or basketballs, penis pumps
work by removing air instead of adding air.
The user inserts their penis in a tube, and then presses the tube to the
base of their penis. For the pump to be effective, the user must fit all
the way inside so the base of the pump forms a solid seal against the
skin. The user then squeezes the pump mechanism to suck the air out of
the tube, creating a vacuum inside the tube. This vacuum, in turn,
causes blood to rush to the penis. Since erections depend on blood flow,
this increased amount of blood enlarges the penis. The benefits are more
noticeable when it comes to length, but many users also report a gain of
girth.
When buying a penis pump, you should be sure to look for a model that
would allow for a tight seal between the chamber and your skin to allow
for more effective suction. Many users also prefer a trigger-type device
to the bulb as they argue that the trigger is easier to use. For safety
reasons, you should buy only penis pumps that contain an emergency
release valve. This valve will fill the chamber with air in case you
have difficult removing the penis pump. Also you should never use a
penis pump for prolonged periods of time.
For the most effective experience, users should use the pump daily to
promote penis growth. After using the pump, it is recommended that you
apply a cock ring around the base of your erection to help maintain the
increased length and girth of your erection. |

Pussy Pumps
Unlike a vibrator, a pussy pump stimulates the outer lips of the labia
and provides you with pleasure through suction rather than vibration
alone. Many pumps use a vibrating egg in conjunction with the suction to
further stimulate your clitoris and pussy, creating an intense,
explosive orgasm!
Although most pussy pumps are similar in design, there are some
differences. Pussy pumps don't require the same amount of suction that a
penis pump does, so pussy pumps use a bulb to achieve suction, unlike
some penis pumps that use a pistol grip style handle. The 'lips' on the
different models are all designed to fit perfectly over a woman's pussy
and clitoris, and the suction increases blood flow to help you cum
harder! Your pussy will feel tighter and your clit will love the
sensation as it becomes more sensitive!
Some pussy pumps use a multi-speed vibrating egg to enhance the
pleasure, and most have a 'tongue' that is either smooth or has small
nubs to apply vibrations directly to the clitoris. Although most models
use a flexible tube to attach the suction bulb to the pump, small
compact models will have the bulb attached directly to the pussy pump.
Whether you use it for solo masturbation or have your partner control
the suction and vibration, whichever style, or styles of pussy pumps you
choose, a pussy pump can provide you with orgasms more intense than you
have ever experienced!

Sex Toy Materials
Sex Toys are made from a several different materials,
which can affect how you use your sex toys, your sex toys’ price and
even how you maintain your sex toys. Before buying a sex toy, you should
research the 6 basic materials - Plastic, Latex, Jelly, Cyberskin,
Silicone, and Glass - so you can find the sex toy best suited to your
needs.
Plastic Sex Toys
Plastic is a popular choice for sex toys, largely
because of its extremely low price. Sex toys made from plastic tend to
be very basic, no-frills models. Plastic sex toys are very smooth and
sleek. Plastic sex toys tend to be excellent for penetration, providing
a firm and fulfilling experience. But their lack of flexibility makes
them less effective when it comes to clitoral stimulation.
Latex Sex Toys
This material is one step up from plastic. While still
relatively cheap, latex gives the sex toy user many more options. Latex
sex toys are firm enough for deep penetration, but these sex toys have
more give and a little more flexibility than their plastic counterparts.
Because latex sex toys have much more friction than plastic ones, you
should always use a lube with them.
Jelly Sex Toys
Jelly sex toys provide an excellent balance between
usability and cost - making this the material of choice for many
mid-range and luxury sex toys. Jelly is very easy to mold, color and
shape, properties which manufacturers take advantage of whenever
possible. This results in jelly sex toys numbering among the most
colorful and exotic-looking models of sex toys as well as giving
designers a chance to include many special features. Jelly is a very
pliable material that has on overall smooth, soft and even supple feel
to it. Despite their name, jelly sex toys have a consistency similar to
a hard-boiled egg and are very effective at penetration.
Cyberskin Sex Toys
Cyberskin sex toys are prized for their highly realistic
feel and appearance. This special material comes very close to
replicating the feel and appearance of human skin, especially after you
hold these sex toys close to your body to warm them up. Because of its
realistic look and feel, cyberskin is commonly used in high-end adult
toys and realistic sex toys. It combines the soft give of jelly sex toys
with the firmness of latex sex toys. Cyberskin sex toys do require some
specialized cleaning. Check out cyberskin sex toys.
Silicone Sex Toys
Silicone is a high quality material that is rapidly
revolutionizing the sex toy industry. Silicone is prized for its
durability as well as its superior hygienic properties. Silicone can put
up with a great deal of stress and hard-use while retaining its original
shape and qualities. Silicone sex toys tend to be more expensive because
these models are meant to last for years of intense usage. For the most
part, silicone sex toys are soft and firm and feel very comfortable
whether used for penetration or clitoral stimulation. Silicone sex toys
are also easy to clean.
Glass Sex Toys
The numerous benefits of glass sex toys make them highly
appealing to the sex toy connoisseur. Glass sex toys often have a
special, unique shape and are liberally covered with bumps and nodules
to provide additional stimulation. Some special glass toys even include
vibrators. But the most unique option of glass sex toys is the ability
to cool the sex toys or warm the sex toys for added stimulation.
Provided that the glass sex toy doesn’t have a vibrator, you can safely
use hot water to warm up your glass sex toy to a comfortable temperature
or you could place your glass sex toy in the freezer or refrigerator to
cool your glass sex toy.
On top of all that, glass sex toys are highly durable,
your glass sex toy could last for your lifetime with the proper care.
Glass sex toys are also non-porous. As for cleaning, you can simply
throw non-vibrator glass sex toys in the dishwasher or a pot of boiling
water.
But all of these sex toy benefits do have a price. Glass
sex toys are much harder to manufacture than other sex toys, which
drives up the price of glass sex toys compared to other sex toys. The
special features of glass sex toys even mean that some sex toys have to
be handmade.

Sex Toys & Sex Lubes
While there are some sex toys that can safely be used
without lube, Picking the Right Lube can help protect most sex toys from
overall damage and increases the sex toy’s lifespan. Using Lube with
your sex toy also greatly enhances the sex toy’s effectiveness and the
sex toy user’s overall experience - especially with Proper Cleaning.
This guide covers the basics of lube, please refer to
the Lubes and Lotions Guide for more in-depth information.
Picking the Right Sex Lube for your Sex Toy
You should always be careful which kind of lube you use
with your sex toy. Using the wrong lube could damage your sex toy or
greatly decrease its lifespan. Water-based lubes can be used safely with
any sex toy. Oil or petroleum-based lubes can damage certain sex toys –
particularly sex toys made from latex. Silicone-based lubes can be used
with any sex toy that is not made from silicone.
Using Sex Lube with your Sex Toy
Once you’ve selected a safe lube to use with your sex
toy, you should carefully apply a small bit of lube to the toy as well
as the body part you intend to use the toy on. If you have a dildo you
want to use for anal penetration, you should apply the lube to your
anus. There should be enough lube to solidly coat both surfaces. Note
that depending on which type of lube you use, you might need to stop
briefly to add more if the lube should dry out.
Cleaning Sex Lube from your Sex Toy
To clean off the lube, you should wipe off the toy and
yourself with warm, soapy water and then dry off with a towel.
Water-based lubes are the easiest to clean off. Other lubes might prove
more difficult to remove or can leave behind a sticky feeling that some
people find unpleasant.

Taking Care of your Sex Toys
With just a little bit of Cleaning, Maintenance, and
Proper Care, you and your favorite sex toys can have a long and
enjoyable partnership.
Cleaning and Maintaining your Sex Toy
Most sex toys are incredibly easy to clean. Just wet a
clean towel in warm soapy water and wipe the sex toys off – taking care
not to get the control area or battery compartment wet. If you use your
sex toy anally, you must clean it very thoroughly using antibacterial
soap or rubbing alcohol if possible as soon as possible after each use.
There are also special cleaners formulated to safely work with adult sex
toys that you could use instead. Be sure to clean your sex toy soon
after use. Never put off cleaning your sex toy until the next day.
After cleaning, dry the sex toy with a soft, clean
cloth. If your sex toy is made from cyberskin, you should apply the
special powder to maintain the sex toy’s unique feeling. After
thoroughly drying your sex toy, you should wrap it in a dry cloth and
store your sex toy in a cool, dry place.
These are the recommended cleaning methods for the
most popular sex toy materials:
Plastic – soap and water, rubbing alcohol, sex
toy cleaner
Latex – mild soap and water, sex toy cleaner
Jelly – mild soap and water, sex toy cleaner
Cyberskin – mild soap and water, Cyberskin
cleaner, sex toy cleaner, talcum powder
Silicon – soap and water, sex toy cleaner
Glass – soap and water, sex toy cleaner, rubbing
alcohol, boiling water
Replacing Sex Toy Batteries
When you wear out your batteries, replacing them is as
simple as a trip to your nearest drug store. Most sex toys take AA or
AAA batteries, but some sex toys take common watch batteries. Be sure to
take note what battery you need when you remove them from the sex toys.
The batteries on most models can be removed by unscrewing the base of
the sex toys or removing the panel on the remote control.
Long-term Sex Toy Storage
Batteries contain highly corrosive chemicals, and it’s
not recommended that you leave them inside your sex toy for extended
periods of time. If you don’t plan to use your sex toy for longer than a
week, you should remove the batteries, wrap your sex toy in a dry towel
and store it in a cool, dry place.
