8 Best Sex Toys for Beginners

Why I Chose It

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!!

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.

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.
