8 Best Sex Toys for Beginners

   Katie Moroney
Today I’m bringing you all of the best sex toys for beginners of every type! I was too a beginner once, and made some crucial mistakes I’d like to help you avoid. To make it super easy, I’ve curated a list of the best beginner toys in every sex toy category. I’ve done this together with the Bedbible tester team, and we’ve had our hands of hundreds of different toys to decide on the right ones for this list.

The Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3 has been the most recognisable and reliable clit sucker for years, until her older, and much hotter sister has now entered the picture. Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3 has blown the original out of the water, with her up to date design and material upgrade. I always agreed with the phrase ‘If it ain’t broke don’t fix it’, until this Generation 3 version hit the market. It had to be picked as my test winner, there was no argument. If  you are looking for realistic suction and vibration, then this is your perfect partner. Especially if you have a clitoris! The new ‘Liquid Air’ option, which has a super thin membrane over the mouth made me sold on this toy completely. Our tester Rachel, who tested this toy said “the Liquid Air technology is a huge innovation that feels unlike any other toy I’ve tried before, and might actually be among the closest sensations to oral sex that a toy can produce.” She also said that the Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 2 feels like a “soft, fluttering tongue that you can tease your clitoris with or press down for satisfyingly firm pressure.” It’s the perfect type of stimulation I recommend everyone trying, especially the beginners! This toy really has it all, from smaller vibrations to heavy rumbling and fast sucking. It can be used on yourself by yourself or someone else, as well as on your nipples! This is one of the best beginner toys as it isnt too overwhelming or powerful, meaning that it is a great introductory toy, with room to advance. The app control makes this toy also great for couples – it can be used as a long distance toy, or if you don’t like being in control. Just sit back, relax and let someone else take the reins. As this is a clit sucker, it is performing at its best when paired with lube, as the wetness from the lube should create a tighter seal around your clit, intensifying the sucking. As this toy is made of silicone, it could be paired with a water-based lube.

As a sex toy expert, I always recommend a palm vibrator for sex toy beginners. They are just so handy, and easy to use, and they let you explore your body in a new exciting way. The Dame Pom is the perfect choice for those wanting a sensual experience that lets you stimulate different body parts. The lack of an internal body makes the Pom special, making it super soft and squishy! You can use it for clitoris, labia, nipples, and any other spot that loves a bit of a buzz. I also appreciate the powerful, rumbly vibrations, and the fact that you can also use it during penetrative play with your partner! Our tester, Mariah, who tested the Dame Pom loved it so much, that she said: “I love this toy and I personally cannot wait to have a long, and happy life together.” She was impressed with the design, pointing out that “it hugs nicely against your body,” and that the silicone feels luxurious and smooth against the skin. Power-wise, Mariah said, “It’s hard to find flexible vibrators that are still powerful, and this little guy knocked it out of the park.” I like that it’s so elegant, quiet, and comfortable, it’s simply a great toy for sex toy beginners! I highly recommend this toy for anyone who loves a minimalist design and wants to elevate their solo routine from the good old ‘rub it out’ method to something more high-end.

As a beginner, I know what it is like being a little shy and reserved about sex toys. I am not one to often take my sex toys around with me in my handbag, but this one is so discreet it almost looks like a red lipstick! I love how small and secretive it is. It is small enough to take with me anywhere, even inside my wallet! The We-Vibe Tango X is by far one of the best vibratos (overall) I’ve ever tried. The teardrop shape means you can enjoy pinpoint stimulation using the tip or broad stimulation by laying it flat against your body. The single-button controls make it easy to switch between the three different vibration intensities. The whole thing is covered in deliciously smooth silicone that feels fantastic against your body with a slick lube! It is one of the smaller toys on the list but don’t be fooled by the size, it can work wonders. It is super rumbly and a fantastic place to start your sex toy journey. Our tester Rachel couldn’t contain her excitement in the review that she wrote, “My truly honest opinion is that the Tango X is one of the top vibrators on the market right now”. I have chosen to put this toy in the review as it is a great growth toy; a toy that you can start off with and then grow braver. It can be used with other toys like a dildo or butt plug, or on its own. You decide where to start – this is a very un-intimidating toy, so you can take it at your own pace.

The Lovehoney Heart Pounder Dildo is the perfect dildo for beginners. It’s really cute, affordable, and the right size for a comfortable, yet nicely filling first experience. I particularly love its design, the see-through look with adorable pink hearts is a cute and subtle way to introduce sex toys into your life. It’s slightly curved with a semi-realistic head that will reach your sweet spots easily, and give a very satisfying experience. There is also a strong suction cup base you can use for hands-free play! Our sex expert Kasia, who tested the Heart Pounder Dildo left a glowing review of this beginner dildo! She said this dildo “feels great during all kinds of penetrative plays. Its shaft is the perfect combination of soft and firm, and it’s flexible too!” She said, she hadn’t found any negatives, and I also couldn’t find any cons. I can highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for their first insertable sex toy. It’s simple and made with high-quality materials, and I am sure the pink hearts will make your first experience much more pleasant, and less intimidating.

The We-Vibe Chorus is a revelation for penis-in-vagina (PIV) sex. If you struggle with achieving orgasms without clitoral stimulation but want no distraction during sex, this is your savior! Our tester Isabelle, who reviewed the Chorus said “The We-Vibe Chorus allowed me to have some of the best PIV sex yet, with some of the most intense blended orgasms I have ever experienced!” As a sex expert, I see it as a great starter toy for couples that want to enhance their intimate time with a powerful, yet non-distracting sex toy. This C-shaped pocket-sized toy has two powerful, rumbly motors. The first motor is in the external arm, which provides intense clitoral stimulation for the wearer and the second is in the internal arm which stimulates the wearer’s g-spot and their partner’s penis at the same time! The adjustable neck in the middle of the toy bends to fit your body, so you can enjoy all of this amazing stimulation hands-free! If you don’t want to use it for PIV sex, it is still a great clitoral or internal vibrator to start off with, and then you have the choice to advance to PIV sex. It is a great toy for starting off with no experience and working your way up from there. It’s easy to get into position and stays in place and I really like that it comes with a physical remote so you don’t have to use your phone during sex if you don’t want to! It’s also fun that you can squeeze the remote for an extra boost of power to tip you over into an orgasm. The chorus is also app-controlled, including long-distance play!!

6 Best Male Sex Toy

Fleshlight Quickshot Vantage

 Fleshlight Quickshot Vantage

The Fleshlight Quickshot line is something I often recommend to sex toy beginners and the Fleshlight Quickshot Vantage is one of the classics. It features an open-ended design, which works great as an additional oral sex stimulator, but you can also use it for traditional solo play. What made me choose this specific model is the neutral, transparent design. It’s discreet, but also allows you to see yourself in action, which from my experience is quite a thrilling view! Our tester, Alessandro, who tested the Quickshot Vantage wasn’t overly impressed with the design of the inner sleeve, as it was a bit too gentle for his liking. He said: “Did the Quickshot Vantage make me finish multiple times? Yes, but do I wish it were firmer? Also yes.” That’s another reason why I think this makes it a good sex toy for beginners. It’s not overly powerful, allowing you to enjoy the experience for longer, and have a chance to explore what kind of internal textures you like. He also pointed out that the Quickshot Vantage is the “easiest-to-store stoker” he currently owns, and he highlighted the high-quality materials, especially the squishy, and jiggly SuperSkin material, which he compared “a Ziploc bag full of thick, coagulated jelly.” I understand that as a sex toy beginner, you might be intimidated by super realistic pussy strokers, so the Fleshlight Quickshot Vantage is a perfect solution. It’s also small, easy to store, and much cheaper than a classic Fleshlight.

7 Best Butt Plug

I am going to be honest with you, when my partner said that they wanted to introduce me to butt plugs and anal toys, I had a mini panic attack. “That’s the wrong hole, isnt it?!” Oh how wrong I was, for my eyes (and asshole) has been opened to a whole new world. But for a beginner, I would strongly recommend starting small and getting bigger. That’s why I have chosen the Biird Regii Butt Plug Set so that you can do exactly that. These mini butt plugs are so good for someone starting out and wanting to start on the smallest size. If you were to go in to big (pun intended), then it could be uncomfortable and even dangerous… let’s not do that. These butt plugs are made of body grade silicone, giving them a high quality, smooth feel. They work very well with water based lube and I would recommend a thicker, more cushioning lube to start, to make it more comfortable and easier. The flared base also makes them safer than ones without, so that your beginner nerves can be put to bed. this set really is just for beginners; it certainly isnt a set that you would be able to progress with into advanced anal adventures, so make sure that you are not that experienced, as you will probably be disappointed. Our tester gave these plugs a great review; expressing that they are “tapered enough to be easy to insert, bulbed enough to feel filling, and the neck is thin enough that they stay put during use!” These plugs would be great on their own, with a clitoral vibrator or if you were feeling brave, with a partner for PIV sex. Having that filling sensation in your behind really brings sex to a whole new level. Try it and thank me later, because I know you will!

Who new something could be so small but so powerful? This Lovehoney Desire Luxury Vibrating Cock ring does exactly that. It is a small, silicone material cock ring that has powerful vibrations and is a great accessory to any type of sex. It is a great couples toy to use during PIV sex to stimulate your partner, as well as yourself. If you choose to use it alone, let that ring buzz you cock into oblivion, for your masturbation session is about to be out of this world. This ring can be used in multiple ways, either at the tip of the penis or the base. The tip stimulates the sensitive end, teasing you for as long as you can take. Then once moved to the base, it maintains that erection so that you can last longer on a more sensitive level. It is a tight ring once placed on the penis, yet it can be stretched large to fit around multiple penis sizes, making no one feel left out! Our tester Peter loved suing this toy, expressing  that it gave him “a mind blowing experience and is extremely worth adding to your collection of toys”.  If you are someone who enjoys the vibrations and ripples that a cock ring can provide, then this is a toy I would highly recommend to any beginner. It is as great when used alone or with a partner, and it is easy to use. You can use it any way you feel comfortable; teasing you tip of your a completely new beginner, or at the base of the penis, so that you performance is more enjoyable and longer. However, whichever way you fancy, you’ll be sure to have an enjoyable experience.

How to Decide on Your First Sex Toy

Everyone has different desires when it comes to choosing their first sex toy. So, I’ve put together some things to think about to help you decide which type of sex toy will be best for you!
  • Do you want to use it alone, with a partner or both? If you want to use your sex toy with a partner during sex, you will need to look for a couple’s toy or one that can easily fit between your bodies.
  • Which body part do you usually stimulate? Think about what you like to do during sex and masturbation and look for a toy that stimulates the same area. For example, if you usually stimulate your clitoris during masturbation, a clit sucker or clit vibrator is a great option!
  • What type of stimulation do you usually enjoy? If you are a vulva owner and love the feeling of oral sex, you might want to look for a clit sucker. Or if you are a penis owner and want to recreate the feeling of vaginal sex, a Fleshlight would be perfect!
  • Have you experienced penetration before? If you are looking for a vaginal or anal penetration toy and have had penetrative sex before, you can find a toy that is similar in size to the penis you had sex with. If you are totally new to penetrative play, you might want to opt for something more similar in size to a finger or two.

How Much Should You Spend on Your First Sex Toy?

You should never spend more than $200 on sex toys as a beginner, start by buying just 1 good quality toy. The worst thing you can do as a beginner is go for a whole bunch of sex toys at once, or buy a very cheap product. You will likely have a bad experience and ruin your future relationship. I can’t give an exact amount. So the exact answer to this very good question of course depends on the type of toy and your budget. It can be a good idea to opt for a more affordable sex toy in the beginning, as you can never really be sure you will like the sensation the toy provides. That being said, it does pay to spend a good amount to get a safe sex toy that’s made of body-safe materials. If you are buying a vibrator, you might also want to avoid very cheap options as they tend to have low-quality vibrations that will leave you feeling unsatisfied. Here are my tips for buying your first sex toy without breaking the bank:

Look for sex toys made from safe materials

Look for sex toys made from safe materials - How Much Should You Spend on Your First Sex Toy?
Anything you put inside your body should be non-toxic and non-porous, meaning there are no microscopic holes for mold or bacteria to grow in. These materials are all body-safe:
  • Silicone
  • Borosilicate glass
  • Metal, such as steel or aluminium
  • ABS plastic
Most of these materials can be found relatively cheaply, especially silicone, ABS plastic, and glass Sex toy materials to avoid:
  • PVC
  • Jelly
  • Rubber
  • Soft plastic
  • Silicone blends
TPE/TPR is non-toxic but it is porous. This type of material is generally considered safe for external toys, such as masturbators, but not for internal toys as bacteria can grow in the microscopic holes.  

Check deals on sex toy websites

Check deals on sex toy websites - How Much Should You Spend on Your First Sex Toy?

What Type of Sex Toy a Beginner Should Choose

In almost all cases I would advise all beginners to choose a simple vibrator as their first toy. But, to help you decide, allow me to explain a bit more. The sheer number of different types of sex toys can be overwhelming when looking for a sex toys as a beginner. Here are some of the types of toys you can consider, and what they are good for:
  • Internal vibrators can be used vaginally, while only ones with flared bases are anal-safe. You can also use internal vibrators externally! G-spot vibrators tend to be curved to make it easy to stimulate the front wall of your vagina.
  • External vibrators can only be used to stimulate external areas, like the clitoris, penis, perineum, and nipples.
  • Dildos are mainly used for internal stimulation to recreate the feeling of penetrative sex. Again all dildos can be used vaginally but only flared base dildos are safe for anal use. Dildos for beginners tend to be smaller in size.
  • Anal toys should always have a flared base to prevent them travelling up inside you. Some common anal toys include butt plugs, vibrating butt plugs, anal beads, and anal dildos.
  • Cock rings lightly constrict the penis to give a firmer erection. You can also get vibrating cock rings that stimulate a partner’s clitoris during penetrative sex.

How to use a sex toy for beginners

   

How to clean

FAQ

This really depends on what body part you want to stimulate but a simple vibrator is a good place to start as it is versatile and easy to use.

Water-based lube is the best option as it can be used with all sex toy materials. Silicone lube shouldn't be used with silicone toys as it can degrade the material.

All of the links in this review are for trusted sex toys stores that are beginner friendly! I can highly recommend Lovehoney and SheVibe for their great ranges of products.

What is a sex toy for beginners?

While there are no specific sex toys for beginners, a great sex toy for beginner's should be approachable, easy to use, and appropriately sized! Most people starting their sex toy journey will want a sex toy that isn't too big or intensely powerful as this can be overwhelming or even painful, so it's best to start out with something less intense and then work your way up if you enjoy it!
