With a variety of colors, sizes, shapes, and styles to choose from, it isn’t always easy to know the best option for you. While sex toys should be fun, when you’re shopping for an adult toy, quality, durability, and safety should always be top priority. Read along for our curated collection of top-selling, high-quality sex toys for beginners and find the perfect toy to help you reach orgasm again and again.
What Makes a Great Beginner Sex Toy
Sex toys have been around since the beginning of time, with our ancestors enjoying DIY dildos made of stone, vegetables, or other phallic objects. However, today we know that comfort and safety are key, and any old object simply won’t do. Here are a few features that we take into consideration when compiling our list of the best beginner sex toys:
- Simple controls that are easy to understand and use.
- Soft silicone construction made of body-safe materials.
- Moderate power that gets the job done.
- Comfortable size for ease of use for beginners.
- Rechargeable so it’s ready to go when you are.
- Simple cleaning for ease of use and care.
Now that you know the specifics of what to look for, let’s take a look at the fun features designed to get you off with ease.
Vibrators for Beginners
Buzz, buzz, buzz! It’s all good vibes when you find the right personal vibrator for you. Vibrators are a great way to start for both men and women, and can be used on multiple erogenous zones. Some of the best vibrators for beginners come in a variety of unexpected shapes and sizes, even in small packages. Viora, our best finger vibrator, is compact, discreet, and easy to use. It’s the perfect option for those just starting out with sex toys.
Want to try out something a little more advanced? The Velveteen, our best first rabbit vibrator, is fun and easy to use, with multiple modes to help you discover your pleasure. However, the best overall beginner toy is our Valentina feather vibrator. This beautifully designed toy offers many different tickling modes to help entice and build anticipation on all of your erogenous zones.
Best Toys for Couples
Looking for something to get you both started? Our couples sex toy kit has a variety of options that you can play with solo or together. Explore your horizons with a clit licker for her, a male stroker for him, and a feather tickler you can tease each other with.
The Best Waterproof Toys
One of the best ways that some choose to discover and experiment with sex toys is in the water. However, not all sex toys are made for private time in the bath, so be sure to look for a waterproof rating of IPX7, IPX6, or IPX5 when shopping. Our favorite waterproof sex toy is the Veronica sucking and licking pussy pump for her and the Varrick dick sucking machine for him.
Best Beginners Anal Toys
Can anal toys be for beginners? Yes! Our Viva La is a rotating and vibrating butt plug with a remote control. It’s appropriately sized and designed to offer a gentle anal massage. Its T-shaped design provides safety and security, while multiple modes target sensitive areas to encourage intense orgasms.
Looking for a prostate stimulator? Our Victor is a slim prostate massager that’s designed to safely provide a gentle massage that targets your prostate with multiple vibration settings. Constructed with a long, slim shaft, the Victor is designed for comfortable prostate massage without pain.
Discreet Toys for Travel and More
For work or play, if you want to enjoy your adult fun on the down low, be sure to select a toy that’s discreet. We suggest the Vaeda for her, a finger clit vibrator, or the Verge for him, a double-sided tightening male masturbator. Not only are these toys quiet, but they’re designed to look like a regular object, and not just a sex toy for maximum discretion.
When you need a discreetly quiet toy for vaginal use, a classic realistic dildo is the way to go. These sex toys require no batteries and make no sound, so the only noises you’ll have to cover up are your own pleasurable moans. For those with a penis, our discreet pocket pussy also gets the job done without any added sound.
How to Use Sex Toys
Enjoying sex toys is typically as simple as pushing a button, but sometimes even the simplest of beginner toys require extra care. The truth is, so long as you’re being safe and practicing consent, there’s no one right way to use sex toys. Here are a few simple guidelines to follow for safety and to fully enjoy the experience:
- Choose body-safe toys made with silicone or other body-safe materials.
- Ensure toys are properly cleaned and fully charged before use.
- Use your toys when you are in a relaxed state, and when you feel safe.
- Start slow and gentle, allowing yourself to go further as you are comfortable.
- Stop if anything feels uncomfortable or begins to turn you off.
- If using sex toys with a partner, be sure to have consent before use.
