I think lots of people stick to the basics because they don’t take the time to think deeper about their sexual preferences. We are largely taught to subdue this side of us, so just asking yourself simple questions about sex can feel taboo. But finding the perfect sex toy for you should start with whatever general preferences you already know you have. Do you normally prefer external stimulation on the clitoris or internal stimulation in the vagina? How about both at the same time? Do you prefer a stroking sensation on the penis or more of a suction? Usually you can turn to your typical masturbation habits for answers - and this is a great starting point in finding the perfect sex toy for you!

Like a lot of products that come in a variety, sex toys are going to work better and last longer when you invest in quality materials and brands. This doesn’t mean you have to purchase the most expensive vibrator on the shelf - but opting for something with a rechargeable battery or high quality silicone is going to get you farther in your journey. These toys tend to have stronger motors, more comfortable materials, and deliver better results. Considering these features, rather than just choosing the cheapest option available, will benefit you in the long run!
