The main kinds of toys, explained simply

Lubricant

What it is: not a “toy” exactly, but the single easiest way to make everything more comfortable and enjoyable. A wonderful first purchase for almost every couple.

Vibrators

What it is: toys that gently buzz to add sensation, used externally or internally — the most popular place couples begin. A great fit if you’d like to add a little extra spark.

Couples’ toys

What it is: designed for you both to enjoy together during intimacy, like wearable vibrators and rings. A great fit if you want something you share, hands-free.

Massage & sensual extras

What it is: oils, candles, and feathers for slow, romantic, low-pressure connection. A great fit if you’d like to set the mood and ease in gently.

Toys for him

What it is: strokers, rings, and more, made with his pleasure in mind. A great fit if you’d like to focus on him.

Internal toys

What it is: dildos, plugs, and kegel trainers for those curious about internal sensation. A great fit if she enjoys a fuller, deeper feeling.

Start simple, decide together, and let comfort lead the way. Below are a few favorites for couples just getting started.
