Sex-cessories: Your Guide to Bedroom Toys

We're secretly convinced that more people would use and enjoy sex toys if only it wasn't so darn intimidating to walk into the store, hold up a random silicone thing, and ask, "Umm, what exactly is this for?" It's not always exactly obvious; sometimes you just have to ask. Everyone could use a little "oomph" in their sexy-time routine, and although people who work in reputable sex shops are invariably knowledgeable and nonjudgmental, that doesn't mean that the experience of shopping for a new vibrator or toy isn't intimidating. Wouldn't it be nice if you at least knew the basics? Well, we've put together a primer on some of the most popular types of sex toys and what they're used for. All that's left for you to do is to try them all and see what you like best!

Vibrators

There are almost as many different types of vibrators as there are vaginas. Small ones, big ones, plastic ones, silicone ones, battery-operated, plug-in, remote-controlled, finger-mounted, extra-quiet—the list goes on. At its most basic, a vibrator is meant to stay on the outside of the body and stimulate the clitoris, or anywhere else you find pleasurable, to help achieve orgasm. This bright little device has won multiple design awards and been called out in major publications like Cosmopolitan and GQ as being the best of the bunch.
