If you’ve ever stepped foot in an Excitement Adult store, you probably recognize the CalExotics brand. They’re some of our favorites, and they offer such a wide range of options in almost every category of sex toys.
When shopping CalExotics, you’re sure to find something that works for you.
We love them partly because they are affordable without sacrificing quality - but also because they offer some really innovative and unique options!
So if you’re looking for something a little different, check out some of these picks.
Are you a self proclaimed power queen? Some of us need a strong rumbly motor when it comes to our vibrators, anything less just won’t cut it for pleasure or orgasm. If you notice yourself wanting more, feeling bored or not being able to reach a plateau during self pleasure with a toy - you might need something with a bit more kick!
If this is you, you can generally find success in staying away from small bullet style vibes, and trying something with a rechargeable motor. Typically these toys will have more power behind them, and if you want more than that, try something with AC plug-in power - like the magic wand!
On the other hand, some folks find heavy powerful vibration to be uncomfortable, overbearing or distracting. Because everybody is different, some anatomy is just more sensitive than others. If this is you, you’ll want to consider your sensitivity and work with it!
I see some people make the mistake of just choosing something small when they’re looking to accommodate sensitivity. But size doesn’t always equate to power when it comes to toys. Instead, consider the motor and the feel of the toy. I highly recommend trying out something other than vibration at least once - like a pleasure air toy that gives you more of a gentle stroking sensation rather than vibration.
Handling a toy in store before you buy it can give you incredible insight, especially when this is a need of yours. So don’t hesitate to stop into any of our locations and ask the staff for assistance!
Sex toys aren’t just great for solo sex - they can be the perfect addition to partnered sex as well. It doesn't have to be complicated, and you might find that adding a couples toy to your sexual experiences is exactly what you need!
Often it is the case that your solo sex toy doesn’t quite work with the mechanics of partered sex. Whether it’s too bulky and gets in the way, or it’s too specific to one area that you can’t reach in your favorite position - sometimes it just doesn’t work.
But if a partnered sex toy is what you need, I promise you can find one! Look for toys that you can hold easily in your hand - you want something powerful and versatile but not too bulky. Or opt for something wearable so you don’t even have to worry about holding it!
Some folks need what we call “dual stimulation” in order to feel fully satisfied, and typically a bullet vibe or butt plug isn’t going to get you there. But with enough creativity, meeting the need of dual stimulation is totally possible with toys.
Try out a dual stim toy like a rabbit - or get really juicy and add two toys to your repertoire with the intention of using both at the same time. Like a stroker/butt plug combo, or dildo/clit vibe combo!
Really, there’s endless possibilities when you really think about it!
No matter what your specific needs are, chances are that there is a sex toy to accommodate. While it might take some time and experimentation - finding something that suits you can be a huge game changer for your sexual experiences.
But the truth is - the journey along the way of exploring, prioritizing and paying attention to your body and your desire is what is going to reap the real benefits.
So happy exploring - remember to be safe and have fun!
