Sex toy selection guide part 1: Sex toys

Part 1. Sex toy basics

Many customers come to our store looking for something to excite themselves and/or their partner, and without specifying what the “best” sex toy is, they ask. This is not easy, as a large part of our selection is made up of different sex toys. Their uses and features vary widely.

Of course, the best is always a good choice, but when it comes to sex toys, it's not an unambiguous concept either. Each of us is an individual and we all enjoy different things. Instead of the One Best product, we have many different, different and good products in our selection.

Help with selection

At Erotiikan Aja, we want to serve each customer individually. We consider it important that everyone finds the product that best suits their own and their potential partner's wishes and needs. This is best achieved by discussing and comparing products on site in our store.

However, there are some things you should consider in advance to make your choice in our store as easy as possible. We have compiled these tips and things to consider in this Sex Toy Selection post series. In future blogs we will discuss different sex toys in more detail, but let's get the basics right first!

There are differences in sex toys

Sex toy is a very broad concept. It can refer to practically any product used as a spice and/or aid for sex, alone or with a partner(s). For example, a tool can vibrate, suck, spin, blow, heat, and have many of these features. On the other hand, a tool may not necessarily have any other features.

It is important to consider your own situation, needs and wishes in order to find the right product for you and/or your potential partner or partners. There are alternatives!

Together or separately?

Many sex toys are suitable for both solo sex and with a potential partner or partners. Some sex toys are designed specifically for penises, pussyes, or for joint use between penises and pussyes, but there are also many toys that can be used regardless of the genitalia.

However, before purchasing a sex toy, it's worth considering whether you want to use the toy for solo sex, with a partner(s), or both.

Previous experiences

When buying your first sex toy, you obviously don't have any experience or a point of comparison with other similar products. Any previous experiences are still useful when considering what kind of features you want from your new toy. What features have you liked? Is there anything that could be different? Is the intention to replace the old product or would the new product be used alongside the old one?

Sometimes replacing that perfect toy can be challenging, but we do our best! If you want, you can also bring your old toy (cleaned) to our store, especially if you are looking for something similar.

Vibrating pleasure…

Vibrator is an umbrella concept for all vibrating products.

Rod vibrators are vibrators that vary in shape, size, and other features. However, they all have one thing in common: a rod-like design.

Some wand vibrators also have a separate clitoral stimulation part and/or a part for the butt. The wand vibrators can be used alone or with a partner(s) for, for example, the vagina, butt, clitoris, and all over the body.

Bullet vibrators are small vibrators, usually no bigger than a finger. They can be used alone or with a partner(s), for example as a clitoral stimulator, for pleasurable caressing of the testicles, anus or the whole body.

Clitoral stimulators can provide pleasure through vibration, suction, or both. Some clitoral stimulators are designed specifically for clitoral stimulation, but many are also suitable for other uses, both alone and with a partner(s).

Finger vibrators are slender, finger-sized vibrators that can be used alone or with a partner(s) for full-body caress.

Wand models Vibrators are suitable for full-body massage and caressing. They provide great reach, for example, for caressing the clitoris during intercourse.

Couples vibrators are often designed to spice up pussy-to-penis sex. Many couples vibrators are shaped like the letter C. They are meant to be inserted into the vagina and vibrate the clitoris at the same time. Such vibrators can be used during intercourse as well as at other times. They are also suitable for solo sex, regardless of the genitals.

Penis vibrators are usually toys that caress the shaft of the penis with vibration and/or other features. Some masturbators also include a vibration feature.

Vibrating penis rings In their traditional use, they provide additional stimulation to the clitoris during intercourse. In current USB-rechargeable models, the vibration intensity is also felt strongly in the shaft of the penis. They are also well suited for the penis' own pleasure.

Plush toys can also be vibrating. Various butt plugs, wands, and products specifically aimed at the prostate can be very enjoyable when used alone and/or together with a potential partner.

…Or pleasure without the thrill?

Dildo is a rod-shaped toy that imitates a penis, for example, and does not vibrate. Dildos are made of different materials, in different colors, sizes, and with or without suction cups. They are usually used in the vagina or ass.

Masturbators are toys aimed at men with penises, often imitating a butt, vagina or mouth. Products come in many different types and price ranges, but the basic idea is usually the same. Traditional masturbators do not have suction, vibration or other features, but are used based on the movement of the penis or the product itself.

Plush toys is a versatile product group that offers pins, beads and rods in many sizes and shapes without any hesitation.

Penis rings without vibration can support an erection or enhance sensations in the penis as blood is pumped more strongly into the shaft of the penis.

Bound to you

Various chains, ropes, whips, clubs and other BDSM-themed toys have been growing in popularity, and many people are looking for variety and excitement in their sex lives. These tools are suitable for both gentle bondage and more intense play. There is a selection for many different purposes and very different needs.

An easy way to get acquainted with the world of this type of product is, for example: binding set , which includes a comprehensive selection of basic products.

Imagination creates uses

It's also not a good idea to get stuck on the idea of ​​what a sex toy was originally designed or intended for. With imagination and experimentation, you can often find completely new, wonderful uses!

A vibrating cock ring with strong vibrations can, for example, be used not only for traditional cock ring use but also for caressing the shaft of the penis and testicles, as a clitoral stimulator, and for caressing the whole body, alone or with a potential partner. A particularly versatile product for this use is the wonderful Satisfyer Sniper penis ring .

Many vibrating products can also be used without vibration. In your search for the perfect dildo, the answer may sometimes be found in the vibrator section, even if there is no need for vibration.

Come to our store to explore the selection in more detail!

In addition to these basic products, there are many other wonderful things for your own and shared enjoyment!
