Look for advice for me and my partner on sex toys for beginners

Looking for some advice we tried a cock ring with a plug attached but it was far to big for us. Really want to get kinky in the bedroom with each other but not sure what beginners stuff out there any help would be great.

Hello and welcome 🙂

If you're completely new to sex toys there's a couple of guides you might find useful. They cover a lot of the basics, and provide a bit of shape to what can be an overwhelming amount of info. 🙂

And the guide section itself is great for a browse. 👍

Personally I'd say the best toy to start with is a bullet. Most women need a bit of clitoral stimulation to orgasm, and a bullet is a nice way of providing that without getting in the way during sex (so good for couples). They're small, and can be very powerful. They're also quite precise, which some people prefer (the opposite being broad, which would be something like a wand).

What toy to buy depends on a lot of different factors (budget is a big one), and as every body is different everyone can't like everything equally so you will have to experiment a bit. But everyone here is very friendly and helpful, so if you have any questions at all don't hesitate to ask. 🙂👍

Thank you ian we have tried a bullet and my partner has a small vibrator. We are looking to take it to the next level we have talked about trying anal, pegging and bondage as what we has read got us excited but tried a cock ring with plug attached but it was a really big plug and way to much for me. Thank you i will look at the attachments now really love this website. Cost is a big factor to us so was hoping i might be able to join the sex toy tester so could find something we like and go down that path. Plus would love to maybe help people out who are inexperienced like us. Thank you again ian been a big help.👍

Ah, no worries. It seems you're a bit further along your sex toy journey than I thought. 🙂 You should be able to find the Bondage guides easily enough from the main guide section, but I'll link the Pegging one here for you. 👍

It's not something I have firsthand knowledge of , but the main advice for bum fun seems to be, start slow and small (ish), and build up gradually. And don't scrimp on the lube. 🙂

If you're interested in Sex Toy Testing then you should definitely read these (though lots of the starter toys can be quite inexpensive if you pick them up when they're on offer 👍)

Good luck, and happy reviewing. 🤞🙂

Thank you for you help Ian very kind of you to help us.

Second the videos. I found them immensely helpful especially as im starting out with toys too. They have a very good youtube channel also, which has alot of great vidios on it as well.

I just started trying anal play as well, and would recommend trying something silicone first (my first was glass and found it way too intense for my first anal toy) and checking the sizes in the product pages. Even in the beginners anal toy section, some of the butt plugs are still too large for me to even consider trying yet.

Hope you find something you both have fun with

Thank you will have a look now. Every one on here is very helpful 😊👍

Just to add to these really helpful suggestions, when we started playing with anal we had a similar situation (eyes bigger than other areas!) We found a butt plug set was the way to go, as you can train yourself to take larger/girthier sized toys / understand limits. They are also usually better value and help you decide what you like before you upgrade to pricier models.

If you shopped for the cock ring on LH don't forget the Sex Toy Happiness Promise - you might be able to trade it in for something more appropriate.
