What Are the Different Types of Sex Toys?

There are thousands of different sex toys available, each designed to cater to various needs and preferences.

Here are some of the most common types:

Vibrators

Vibrators, also known as vibes or personal massagers, are objects that vibrate to stimulate your genitals. They are commonly used to stimulate the clitoris and other parts of the vulva and vagina, but they can also be used on the penis, scrotum, testicles, nipples, and anus. Vibrators come in all shapes and sizes; some are designed to be inserted into the vagina or anus, while others are meant for external use.

Dildos

Dildos are objects designed for insertion into the vagina, anus, or mouth. They come in various shapes and sizes, often resembling a penis. Some dildos look realistic, while others are more abstract. They can be slightly curved to stimulate the G-spot or prostate and are made from materials like silicone, rubber, plastic, metal, or break-resistant glass.

Anal Toys

Anal toys are specifically designed to stimulate or be inserted into the anus. These include butt plugs, anal beads, prostate massagers, and dildos with a wide base. Using lube is essential for safe anal play, and it's crucial that any toy used anally has a flared base to prevent it from getting stuck.

Sleeves

Sleeves, also known as masturbation sleeves, penis sleeves, or strokers, are soft tubes that you insert your penis into. They come in various shapes and sizes with different internal textures for enhanced sensation. Some sleeves feature vibration or suction and are also available for larger clitorises or smaller penises, catering to intersex individuals or trans men on hormone therapy.

Penis Rings

Penis rings, also known as cock rings or constriction rings, are worn around the scrotum and/or penis. They slow blood flow out of the penis, increasing sensation and making erections harder and longer-lasting. The safest penis rings are made from soft, flexible materials like silicone, rubber, or leather with snaps. Some rings also have vibrators for additional stimulation. Because they restrict blood flow, they should not be worn for longer than 10-30 minutes and should be removed immediately if discomfort occurs.

Pumps

Pumps, such as penis pumps or vacuum erection pumps, use suction to draw blood into the penis, clitoris, vulva, or nipples, enhancing sensitivity and sensation. They can help achieve erections but won't permanently enlarge the penis. Some pumps are designed to treat erectile dysfunction and other sexual disorders, but most sold in sex stores are for pleasure enhancement. Always follow the instructions and consult a doctor if you have blood disorders or are on blood-thinning medication.

Ben Wa Balls

Ben Wa balls, also known as Kegel balls or Kegel trainers, are weighted balls inserted into the vagina to help strengthen pelvic floor muscles. They can create a jiggling sensation as you move. While they are not necessary for Kegel exercises, many people enjoy the sensations they provide.

Packers

Packers are objects resembling a realistic penis, usually soft, that create a bulge in underwear or clothes. They can help transgender, genderqueer, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming people affirm their gender identity. Some packers allow for urination while standing (STP packers) and can also be used for sex.

Harnesses

Harnesses, also known as straps or strap-on harnesses, are garments that hold a packer, dildo, or other sex toy against your body. They can be worn like underwear or jock straps, or around other parts of the body, like the thigh.

With so many types of sex toys and ways to use them, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. Visiting a sex toy shop and speaking with knowledgeable staff can help you learn more about different products. You can also start with something that piques your interest and explore from there.
