A male masturbator is a sex toy designed for penile stimulation. The options range from simple pocket-sized sleeves to fully automated devices with suction, vibration, and rotating internal mechanisms. The category has evolved dramatically, and the gap between a basic sleeve and a high-end automatic masturbator is significant. This guide breaks down every type and what to look for before buying.

This guide covers every category designed for use together: remote vibrators, cock rings, thrusting toys, and more. Practical advice on what actually works and why.

A butt plug is an anal toy designed for a comfortable, hands-free anal experience. It has a tapered tip for smooth insertion, a narrow neck that lets your sphincter rest, and a flared base that acts as a safety stop to keep it securely in place. Whether you are using it during masturbation or partnered sex, it delivers deep, sustained pressure. This guide covers...

Anal beads are a series of connected beads or spheres for anal pleasure. You insert them into the rectum during arousal and remove them -- usually at the point of orgasm. The sensation comes from the passage of each bead through the sphincter, stimulating the densely-nerved anal opening in a rhythmic, controlled way that is completely different from a butt plug or dildo. This...

A wand vibrator is a large, long-handled vibrator with a broad rounded head that delivers deep, powerful external stimulation. Wands are the most consistently effective vibrators for people who have difficulty orgasming with other toys -- and the most versatile, with a range of attachments that expand what the head can do. This guide covers everything you need to know before buying one. In...

A vibrator is a battery or rechargeable-powered sex toy that delivers vibration to stimulate the body during solo or partnered play. They come in dozens of different formats for different purposes -- but the basics are simpler than the overwhelming number of options suggests. This guide breaks down every type, what each one does, and how to choose your first one. In this guide...

A strap-on is a wearable dildo system -- a harness worn around the hips that holds a dildo in place for penetrative sex. Pegging is the specific practice of anal penetration with a strap-on. Both are more popular, more accessible, and more beginner-friendly than many people realise. This guide covers harness types, dildo selection, how to get started, and what to buy. In this...

Cleaning sex toys properly is one of the most overlooked aspects of toy ownership -- and one of the most important. The right cleaning method depends entirely on the toy's material. Silicone, glass, and metal can be fully sterilised. TPE and rubber cannot. Getting this wrong leads to bacterial build-up, material degradation, and avoidable health risks. This guide covers exactly what to do with...

A clitoral stimulator is a sex toy designed specifically for external stimulation of the clitoris. The category has expanded significantly in recent years -- moving well beyond the traditional vibrator to include suction toys, air pulse technology, and licking stimulators that produce completely different kinds of sensation. This guide covers every type, how they work, and which one is right for you. In this...

A rabbit vibrator is a dual-stimulation toy with an insertable shaft for internal G-spot stimulation and an external arm that sits against the clitoris simultaneously. The result is internal and external stimulation at the same time -- which is why rabbit vibrators remain one of the most popular sex toy categories despite the enormous range of alternatives now available. This guide covers every type...

App-controlled sex toys connect to a smartphone app via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, letting you or a partner control vibration speed, pattern, and intensity from anywhere -- across the room or across the world. They have made long-distance couples play genuinely practical and added a control dynamic to local couples play that a standard remote cannot match. This guide explains what they are, how they...

A G-spot vibrator is a curved or angled vibrator designed to reach and stimulate the G-spot -- a sensitive area on the front wall of the vagina that produces a different kind of orgasm to clitoral stimulation. G-spot vibrators are one of the most effective ways to explore internal stimulation, and modern designs go well beyond simple vibration to include come-hither pulsing, thrusting, and...
