Ok, so I have never asked anything like this before! and its a little embarrassing, but you ladies have always come through in the past. Recently I have been thinking about getting an adult toy. I have no idea what to get or what is good, as this is the first time I have looked into (or thought of really) getting something like this. So, as intimate as it may be, if anyone has some guidance or suggestion of something they like, I'd appreciate it. And if you feel better, you can always send me a message. Thanks!!

i have a whole drawer full of toys that i accumulated while i was single and since i've been with my fiance. he loves to take me toy shopping. i hate suggesting something without knowing what you're looking for in a toy. i love helping people pick them out though... that's what i do for all my girlfriends when they decide they want one (i'm always the first to have one, lol). So if you want advice about what one to get, why don't you edit and say what you're looking for, or send me a message. that might help you to pinpoint what type of toy you're looking for.

awww...bless your heart, you're so cute! :)
anyway, when i was younger (i'm 31 now), i always got the dildo (sp) kind, so it was like the real thing. yeah, well, whatta waste for me that was! so now, my only investment is the pocket rocket, for lack of a better term. the vibrating part is no bigger than your pinky and it has a control to it to make the vibration softer or harder. perfect for alone time (wink, wink) but imo makes sex even better. it stimulates the one special area, not so much the entry way - lol. anyway, that's my two cents. hope you find something you like! good luck girl - go get 'em! lol :)

If you want something that works, but isn't awkward for you to buy or have around, try the Hitachi Magic Wand. Its a "back massager" and works for that as well, so its the 007 of toys. Completely undercover...if you leave it out, its easily explained. It's around $45, and attachments can be purchased if you want something for your G-spot. On its own, externally, its amazing. Even if you are not fast at getting where you want to go, its quick and powerful. It plugs into the wall, and the vibrations are really strong, which is awesome, but some women don't like it for that reason. You seriously can get results ;-) in a minute. Get an extension cord. The Magic Wand is probably one of the all time best selling vibrators. Totally worth the price, and then some. Another classic is the pocket rocket. Its small, cheap (about $12 on amazon), and also really effective. Its also sexier if you want to bring it to the bedroom with hubby but its not an anatomical model. Try Good Vibrations website, its women run so its not unpleasant, and has reviews. Its much cheaper to get the Hitachi on Amazon, plus free two day shipping, and some reviews too.

Don't feel embarrassed! How would you find out if you didn't ask?

I actually don't have much experience here. Years ago, we had a plain dildo I didn't care for (it was given to him as a joke on our wedding from his wonderful friends). We also had a rabbit dildo that I didn't like either. However, my husband did come home with Hitachi Magic Wand (Koko F. mentions it as well) that I absolutely love. She's right when says it doesn't look "naughty". So I don't have to keep it hidden and I use it more often for my shoulders than anything else anyway! :D (But it does work in other areas.)

Now, if you have a good adult store in your area (like we do) they will be able to answer all of your questions. Don't feel embarrassed because they aren't. Trust me, they've heard it all. And if it's a good one (not a sleazy dive like a lot can be) they'll know what they're talking about when they answer. And if they recommend something, either they've used it themselves or they've heard good reviews on it from other customers. At least this is the experience I have at my local adult store. So do some research on some products that you may like to use and then got to your local store to ask about it. While I haven't actually bought much, my husband often comes home with something, such as a new lube they told him to try out, etc. and they've always answered questions frankly, and honestly.

Have fun. :)

goodvibrations.com, adamandeve.com...

many many sites!! The adult toy parties tend to have a very limited, less sexual selection. They are meant as sensual aids - not really masturbation material.

Enjoy your searching!! I'd stay away from 'skin like' and rubber like toys - they tend to be porous and hard to clean.

Toys in Babeland is (imo) the BEST shop around. There's one in NY if you happen to be in the city. I'm here in Seattle, and am hoping the amazing women there will do the sex ed "talk" for our homeschool group in a couple years. AMAZING business, with caring and knowledgeable staff. There website, however, is almost as good as being there in person. Tons of staff reviews/ how tos/ what to pick/ not to pick. Even video tutorials (fully dressed, not pornish or sleezy at all).

answers from Chattanooga on

You should look into hosting a slumber party. Think Tupperware, but with adult toys. :) I have been to a few, and they are super fun! You invite friends and family over 18, girls only, and the lady brings a catalogue, and a lot of toys and products to demo. (not used, obviously) she can tell you about each one individually too so you can get one for what you need. The first time I went to a party, I thought it would be really akward, but they are so fun! I have been to them with co-workers, friends, even one time with my grandma! lol! The best thing is that if YOU host the party, you get a hostess gift based on how much the lady sells. She sets up the sales in a seperate room, each person goes back one at a time, and the purchases are in solid black bags so no one knows what you buy. OR you can order from their website. :)

answers from Milwaukee on

I used to run an on-line adult toy store. DO NOT go on how the item looks. They like to add a bunch of glittery things because that's what they think women want. (It also jacks up the price.)

I always suggested to my customers that a Pocket Rocket is a great choice. It only takes a AA battery but WOW does that thing work!

The rabbits are great but don't get a ten speed one. They cost sooo much more and you REALLY don't need THAT much power--trust me! :)

Good luck and have FUN!

answers from Utica on

I would go to the store with your husband and pick up something together. Nothing crazy, especially if this is the first time. A basic vibrator can be awesome for the both of you. I would stay away from things like "the rabbit" as a first toy, in my opinion these are more for "alone time" if you know what I mean and would probably make your hubby feel a bit left out.
Either way have fun with it, thats why you are looking to get one right?
Enjoy and happy humping =)

answers from Richmond on

I didn't even read the other responses, but the answer would really depend on what you're looking for. My girlfriend used to do 'slumber parties' and so I got a lot of the extras... yes, I have toys. Most are still unused, but some were too much fun to leave alone ;) Are you using them with or without a partner? I wouldn't go all out and get anything crazy if this is your first purchase. Don't be embarrassed... have FUN :) Send me a message if you need a little more direction, I'm open when it comes to stuff like this... by open I mean I don't mind talking about it, not 'open like I'm going to share'... geez, that probably sounded bad. Just let me know if you have any questions ;)

answers from Houston on

just go to the toy store whatever your prefereance and dont be afraid to ask questions about diffrent items they get asked all the time. depends on how kinky you want to get as to what toys to get. and if your not sure what its for ask. if they dont know from personal experience they do from word of mouth. definately love lotion the kind that get hot when you use it. I didnt like the rabbit. jmo. dont get a cheapy. either. I got a call from a friend at a toy store once asking what a ring was. I had to explain it to her and she bought a whole package of variety rings. I like the rings. or better yet get a honeymoon set it has a little bit of everything in it. and then your not wasting money and can buy more of what you liked in it later.

answers from Los Angeles on

Don't be afraid to ask, it's just reading customer reviews! =)
Well this is personal preference...think about what you want out of it....like insertion, vibration, speed/strength of vibration, g-spot stimulation, etc. I have some that I don't use very often just because I didn't care for them. If it's your first experience, try something small and basic, then work your way up!
I'm also the type to want to SEE it in person. On-line stuff doesn't work for me unless I want to order something I already have. Some stores will even show you a model of something you want to buy. They do this so you can hold it and feel the vibration, or show you exactly what the "selling points" are. (don't worry they keep it behind the counter and nothing gross is done with it).
I know many people who reccommend the rabbit, I personally didn't care for it. Koko has it right with the hitachi! That's my fav! By far the best thing I ever bought in this area.
Good Luck and Have Fun!!!!

There is a new couple's vibe that is very good. I've got two young kids, 2yrs old and 5 months, which leaves very little intimate time. The FixSation couple's vibe has been a Godsend, allowing both of us to achieve climax much quicker during sex. With a narrow window of time it's nice to have something to level the playing field.

answers from New York on

Good Vibrations and Toys in Babeland are women run and well established businesses with great customer service. But if you want to see and touch the floor models and go to a store. I'm not in your part of NJ but there are at least 3 adult stores near me in Bergen county (2 on route 17 and one on 46). I haven't shopped at them all. there are also several places in NYC. If you are shy go with someone. Also the plug in vibrators are much stronger and more durable than the things powered by AA batteries. Mine has survived over a decade, since before I was married.

I work for a company called Slumber Parties which is a company that sells toys, lubrications, lingerie,and also limited lifetime warranty toys. We have many products and toys that can be used just for you or with a partner. We don't have a ridiculously large selection, but we do have toys that are really great. We pick and sell toys that we know work and sell because they work. We always get in new toys and products to keep things fresh but our selection is smaller than a stores because we only sell toys that we know will be great for our clients. Many mothers will often call me (friends who have children as well) and they ask me which are the best toys. We go by what you want (looking for) and by what we know or think will be a great match for you. We have toys just for you, toys for couples, and toys for him. Being a mother is a busy lifestyle and sometimes you really need some time to yourself. A toy is a great investment for yourself or your relationship. A happy relationship often leads to a happy you and to happy children because their parents are happy and healthy. If you have any questions about toys, your body, anything that can help you take a look at our site and talk to a consultant for advice! We are well educated and have trainings all the time so our consultants are fully knowledgeable. Like i said prior, toys are a wonderful investment for yourself and for your relationship.

I have a 3-speed vibrating dildo that I like. If you go to the "Slumber Parties" website, I believe the model name is Bliss.
