Luxury Vibrators
There are many shapes and sizes of vibrators for women and men. Vibrators were designed with one key attribute – to help you orgasm. In studies conducted around the world, only 25% of participants reported that they climaxed through vaginal intercourse alone.
The clitoris is not just a fingertip sized pleasure organ but part of a complex larger structure that extends under the clitoral hood and into your body. There are over 8000 nerve endings to play with and it means there are more ways to have clitoral orgasms than you thought with ways to make them even stronger and better.

G-Spot vibrators (G standing for Grafenburg after the German scientist who discovered it by the way) are specifically designed to focus internally on the G-Spot. They have a curved tip to stimulate this area and are usually firmer than other vibrators. They can also be used to stimulate the clitoris and surrounding area.

A lot of thrusting toys have synchronised rotating metal beads inside and a ribbed shaft to provide a vaginal massage whilst stimulating the clitoris. Thrusting toys have a multi speed rotating head and have adjustable functions multi speed function settings.
Luxury Dildos
Luxury dildos are usually penetrative objects that do not always vibrate. They are normally silicone and come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours. We recommend checking the size specs on the box and using your fingers measured to see what suits your tastes best.
Dildos should always be used in conjunction with a personal lubricant that suits the material it is made out of. There are many lubricants available. Water based lubricants are the most popular closely followed by silicone-based lubes. Some of the most popular are listed below.
Silicone based, water based, hybrid, flavoured, anal, organic, warming and cooling, gel, jelly, realistic style and specialty interest lubricants.
Most sex toys will have a manufacturers recommendation for what lube should be used. Even if there is enough natural lube, more is always better.
Double Dildos
Double ended dildos or double dongs as commonly referred to are designed to stimulate two sweet spots simultaneously. They are usually very supple and flexible, thicker at one end and lifelike to look at.Double penetration dildos can be found in all sorts of shapes and sizes with the longer products being ideal to be used for couples play at the same time.
Strap on Dildos
Strap on dildos can be used either with the harness they come with or without. Most of them are flat based and with some having remote controls with adjustable vibration settings.
Strapless Strap on Dildos
Strapless strap on dildos can be single or double ended for pegging (when a woman penetrates a man anally) or lesbian sex. They can be remote controlled and more often than not have multiple vibrational settings.
Anal Toys
Anal toys include anything that is inserted into the butt. Butt anal play is more than just penetrative sex. It includes everything you do with the butt cheeks, perineum, anal opening, prostate and inside the anus. This can include tickling, stroking, massaging, flogging, fingering, licking, using a vibrator or penetrating.
There are many nerve endings in this region with the clitoral legs on a woman extending all the way down to this area. Many people find anal play very pleasurable. Anal play toys or butt plugs as commonly known, massage and stimulate the prostate as well stimulating the nerve endings of the clitoris. Some people actually believe that a prostateorgasm is stronger and or better than a regular orgasm!
The number one rule for anal play is to go slowly! Warm up before penetration, start with fingers and or a small butt plug and work your way up in size. Remember to always lubricate and the thicker the better for anal play. Unlike the vagina, the anus does not make any of its own lubrication. So, it is equally important to use a lot of lube.Some people say it helps to have an orgasm first or at least have lots of foreplay before exploring the butt. This helps to relax the body including the muscles of the butt before play.
Dildos and Pulsators
Dildos are a multipurpose toy and can also be used for anal play. They are used in a back-and-forth motion rubbing the prostate area to achieve orgasm. For extra stimulation try adding a vibrating dildo or a pulsator. Pulsators thrust on there own but all three toys feel amazing on, in or around your butt.
Butt Plugs
Whether you’re a first timer or a dedicated player, butt plugs can be a new way to experience pleasure. Butt plugs are generally supposed to stay put and create a feeling of fullness. Butt plugs can even come in various forms of vibrating butt plugs and rotating models. Some can even be remote controlled. Always start small with anal plugs and work your way up with plenty of lube. Don’t forget to choose a plug with a base so it doesn’t get lost inside!
When worn during vaginal penetration, a butt plug can angle your partners penis or dildo up towards the G-Spot to create even more pleasure.
Anal Beads
Anal beads come in different size shapes and colours. Anal beads are a string of beads which increase in size. Inserting them one bead at a time and then pulling them out slowly as you climax is the best way of using them. The contracting and expanding motion of your muscles around the anal beads can increase the intensity of your orgasm. Vibrating anal beads are normally used by the more advanced anal play user.
Prostate Massagers and Stimulators
Prostate massagers also come in a variety of shapes, sizes colours and vibration levels. You can choose from long slender styles to gradually swollen probes with maximum thickness. They are designed for prostate stimulation, to massage the prostate gland (or P-Spot) and or the perineum (taint) as well.
