Buying a first sex toy can be exciting, but also intimidating (SO much choice!) If you've never tried a sex toy and are a complete beginner, we recommend something small and easy to use. For vulva-owners a bullet vibrator is a good first vibe. About the size of a finger, a bullet vibe is perfect to pleasure the clitoris (the epicentre of female orgasm) and slip just inside the opening of the vagina. For penis-owners, we recommend a Tenga Egg - a fun mastabator which will add extra stimulation to hand-jobs.

What sex toys couple’s enjoy is multi-fold! but a finger vibe is a good all-round first sex toy for couples of all gender combinations, adding a thrilling buzz everywhere you touch. A vibrating cock ring is another good starter toy for adding hands-free clit stimulation during intercourse - and of course, the all-important bottle of water-based lube should be in your basket too!

Beginners to anal sex should start SMALL – the bum is an area where all sensations feel particularly magnified, believe us! Beginner’s Butt Plug might be the place to start, plus some (lots of!) anal lube, of course…

Buying your first stap-on should be all about excitement and pleasure, never about a too big dildo (the most usual mistake newbie’s make). First strap-on kit maybe the place to start...
