Clean your sex toys according to their material:

• Non-porous materials (silicone, glass, stainless steel): Use warm water and mild soap or a designated toy cleaner.
• Porous materials (jelly, rubber): Use a toy cleaner and consider using condoms over these toys due to difficulty in thorough cleaning.
• Electronic toys: Ensure they are waterproof before submerging; if not, wipe with a damp cloth.
• Always dry toys completely before storing them in a cool, dry place.

Beginners often find success with simple, non-intimidating toys such as:

• Bullet vibrators (small and easy to use)
• Finger vibrators (gentle introduction to stimulation)
• Basic dildos (without excessive texture or size)
• Cock rings (for enhanced sensation)
• Masturbation sleeves (for an easy and comfortable experience)
• Always opt for body-safe materials like silicone or ABS plastic.

Consider the following when selecting a toy:

• Purpose: Do you want solo pleasure, partner play, or both?
• Stimulation type: Clitoral, vaginal, anal, or penile?
• Material safety: Choose non-porous, hypoallergenic materials.
• Power source: Battery-operated, rechargeable, or manual?
• Discretion: Some toys are quieter and more compact for private use.

Absolutely! Many couples enjoy introducing toys to enhance intimacy. Popular choices include:

• Vibrating cock rings (enhance stimulation for both partners)
• Couples' vibrators (wearable toys for shared pleasure)
• Strap-ons and harnesses (for role-reversal and variety)
• App-controlled toys (for long-distance play)
  

Communication is key. Start with:

• Discussing fantasies and interests openly.
• Introducing a toy designed for couples, like a vibrating ring or massager.
• Watching educational content or visiting a store together.
• Keeping the experience fun, pressure-free, and open to experimentation.

Men's sex toys include:

• Masturbators: Devices that simulate intercourse.
• Prostate massagers: Tools designed to stimulate the prostate gland.
• Cock rings: Rings that restrict blood flow to enhance erections.
• Anal toys: Items like plugs or beads for anal stimulation.
• Vibrating toys: Devices that provide vibration for added pleasure.

Yes, some brands offer:

• Easy-grip designs for limited mobility.
• Voice or app-controlled toys for hands-free use.
• Adjustable intensity settings for sensitive areas.
• Adaptive harnesses and mounts for stability.

Lubricant compatibility depends on the toy material:

• Water-based lubricant: Safe for all materials, easy to clean.
• Silicone-based lubricant: Longer-lasting but can damage silicone toys.
• Oil-based lubricant: Great for non-latex materials but not for condoms.

The safest materials are:

• Medical-grade silicone – Hypoallergenic, soft, and body-safe.
• Borosilicate glass – Non-porous and easy to clean.
• Stainless steel – Durable, body-safe, and temperature-responsive.
• ABS plastic – Rigid, non-porous, and safe for external use.
• Avoid: Jelly, PVC, and TPR/TPE materials unless they are phthalate-free.

Yes, you can generally bring sex toys on a plane. Ensure they are clean and stored in your carry-on luggage. For vibrating toys, remove batteries or ensure they are turned off. Check the regulations of your destination country, as some may have restrictions.

In most European countries, sex toys are legal for personal use and purchase. However, regulations may vary by country, particularly regarding public display, advertising, and importation. It’s advisable to check local laws if you’re unsure, especially when traveling or importing products.
