10 best sex toys for beginners, including vibrators and dildos

Beginner tip: The snug toy can be worn during vaginal sex so your partner can also feel the pleasure of vibrations. 

"This is hands down my favourite toy for couple play — and it works solo, too," says Milton. "With simultaneous clitoral and G-spot stimulation, it delivers amazing vibration sensations in a small and friendly toy. It’s even controllable via an app, which makes it a great sex toy for those wanting to try toys due to long-distance relationships."

Beginner tip: Ease into toy play by using this as an all-over massager during foreplay. 

"A magic wand is a classic toy that delivers vibrations to the clitoris. But the reason I like this So Divine Wicked Game Dual Motor Magic Wand is that you can also use it internally to stimulate your G-spot. It's silky smooth too, which is a great way to start experimenting with sex toy textures," says Rowett. 

Beginners tip: Use the tip to provide pin-point stimulation to the clitoris and the flat pebble for stimulation of the whole genital area.

"A simple bullet vibe or something small is also a great way to start for beginners. They are less intimidating, straightforward to use, and very discreet. With ultra-low-frequency vibrations rather than 'buzzy' vibes, it's less of an intense build-up and more of a powerful sensation that's amazing for beginners and regular users," adds Rowett.

Beginners tip: Change where you place Fin on your finger for pointed or wider vibrations. 

"Fin is a discreet and versatile finger vibrator that can be used anywhere for external stimulation before, during, or after sex. Easy to take on and take off, Fin is ergonomic and easy to use. The small size, finger design, and low-level vibe mean it's a natural and subtle way to start playing with stimulation," says Rybchin.

Beginner tip: Try using the 100% waterproof toy in the bath or shower. 

"Small yet mighty, this toy has a super powerful motor that's still quiet and easy to use. Turn it on with one simple button control and move through the twenty modes to find your perfect stimulation and the device will start with the setting you used last when you next turn it on. Hassle-free, I think you'll agree," says Rybchin. 

Beginner tip: You don't have to stick to one toy at a time — try an internal and external vibrator at the same time. 

"It’s always worth looking into buying a sex toy kit as they allow you to explore and experiment with different styles of sex toys. This set has four easy-to-use vibrators for you to try. The simple single control for each sex toy means that you’re not as easily overwhelmed when exploring each sex toy for the first time. The classic vibrator in the kits is easy to insert vaginally and can be used externally on the clitoris too, while the vibrating egg can help you explore different sex positions during your solo sex sessions and you can add in the bullet vibrator to tease other erogenous zones. Overall, this is a great option when you’re unsure of what you enjoy," says Cooper. 

Beginner tip: Not everyone can have G-spot orgasms and that's OK — you might still experience pleasure from the stimulation even if it doesn't lead to an O.

"Have you ever experienced the body shakes of a true G-spot orgasm? This toy will help you. With a flattened tip that is ideal for internal stimulation, you will no doubt feel the pleasure. The tip is also designed to be flipped over for a powerful clitoral vibrator as well," says Rybchin. 

Beginner tip: Perform pushing motions with the toy against your G-spot for deeper stimulation.

"The inner curve features a soft, squishy tip for pin-point G-spot stimulation. Meanwhile, the flatter end of Juno's tip is angled perfectly if you want to use the toy for powerful external clitoral stimulation. With the signature low-frequency vibrations, this will be a full-body sensation maker," says Rybchin. 

Beginner tip: Don't just up the intensity but also play with patterns of vibration to find one that gets you going.

"Biird Evii is a super soft silicone clitoral and massage vibrator. I love how easy this vibe is to hold and use. I’ve found this little vibe to be a great one to use with a partner as the soft silicone is gentle in places, meaning you’re less likely to uncomfortably jab a partner if you press it against their body too firmly. The softer silicone is also great if you’ve never experimented with sex toys before and it can feel very gentle over the vulva and clitoris yet it's still able to send strong vibrations through to your sweet spots," says Cooper. 

Beginners tip: Use with a twisting motion to press and rub the G-spot.

"I love how versatile this toy is, and how sleek and beautiful it looks. It’s great for external play, internal play, as a dildo or as a vibrator, for clitoris stimulation and extremely excellent G-spot stimulation. It’s a one-stop shop for orgasms and the perfect way to start exploring toys," says Milton.
