A Beginner’s Guide to Choosing Your First Adult Toy

Exploring the world of adult toys for the first time can be both exciting and a little overwhelming. With so many types, shapes, materials, and functions to choose from, it’s easy to feel unsure about where to start. At SexplorationToys, we believe that your journey into pleasure should be empowering and stress-free. Whether you’re looking to spice up your solo sessions or add something new to partnered play, this guide will help you choose your first toy with confidence.


🌟 Start with Your Pleasure Goals

The first step in choosing your toy is asking: what do I want to feel? Are you looking for clitoral stimulation, G-spot exploration, prostate pleasure, or something external and gentle? Understanding your body—and your curiosity—helps narrow down the options and guide you toward something that matches your needs.

For example:

  • For external stimulation, a bullet vibrator or clitoral stimulator is a great choice.
  • Curious about penetration? Start with a smooth, slim dildo or a G-spot vibrator.
  • For anal exploration, choose toys labeled anal-safe (with a flared base) for safe play.

🧼 Choose Body-Safe Materials

Your health and comfort matter. We only recommend toys made from non-porous, body-safe materials like medical-grade silicone, stainless steel, or borosilicate glass. These are easy to clean, durable, and safe for repeated use with proper care.

Avoid toys made from jelly rubber or other porous materials that can trap bacteria or degrade over time.


⚡ Simplicity Is Key

When you’re new to sex toys, less is more. Start with a toy that’s simple, quiet, and easy to use. Many beginners enjoy toys with one or two vibration speeds, a comfortable shape, and a non-intimidating size. You can always explore more advanced features later as your comfort and preferences grow.


💧 Don’t Forget Lube

Lube makes everything better—especially when you’re trying a toy for the first time. For silicone toys, choose a water-based lubricant to avoid damaging the material. Lube reduces friction, increases comfort, and enhances sensation, whether you’re playing solo or with a partner.


🛍️ Take Your Time & Explore

The most important thing to remember? There’s no right or wrong place to begin—just what feels good to you. Read product descriptions, check user reviews, and don’t hesitate to ask questions. Our team at SexplorationToys is here to help you find something that fits your comfort level and desires.

Your first toy is just the beginning of an exciting journey of self-discovery and pleasure. Be patient, stay curious, and enjoy the exploration.
