Points To Ponder When Purchasing Your Goodys!

Especially for first time buyers, making the decision to purchase and use a sexy toy can be an intimidating and confusing experience. But don’t be put off! Sex toys can add a tremendous amount to your sex life (see previous article on 7 Great Reasons to Have Your Own Goody Collection), and could potentially be one of the best things you can do to help release inhibitions and feel more fulfilled as an erotic and sensual woman.

So when it comes down to working out what to go for, there are many considerations that need to be taken into account. Sex toys nowadays come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, and can perform an insanely diverse range of functions. There are no limits to what you can buy, and how you can use it.

But what are some of the main considerations? Here are a few points to ponder:

• What are you specifically after from a sex toy? Will it be a masturbation aid, something to let you test out a new sex act, a fun little addition to your lovemaking or something to pack away for your travels? Is it just for you, or will you be sharing it with another? Does it need to be waterproof? Working out your wants and needs as precisely as possible will let you narrow down the field of options.

• Are you looking for something that can be used in a variety of different ways, or would you prefer it for a particular and specific use? A good example is a standard vibrator (if there is such a thing!); something you can use for both some insertion play and for clit stimulation. Its multi-purpose use makes it a great piece of kit for your Goody Collection. However, if you were wanting something that was just specifically designed to work your magic button, there are toys made just to do that, and some others that are specifically made for insertion, which individually could give you more satisfying results.

• Discretion is the better part of valour, and there is a good chance you have your own set of unique needs in terms of keeping your business your business. Different toys have different noise levels, and some can even masquerade as more general purpose body massagers, or as other types of gadgets like phones or pagers (handy in case of prying eyes). And you might have kids to consider, or next door neighbours that are too close. Make sure you take on board this very important point, as failure to do so can result in some very red faces and hasty explanations!

• Textures and the level of firmness can vary between toys. Obviously everyone is familiar with the hard plastic that many toys are made from, but there are also toys made out of metal and (my favourite) soft but firm jellies which feel incredibly life-like whilst also being durable. This allows for a fabulous variation depending on your mood, your skin type and how sensitive you are, or at least how you are feeling at a particular moment. There are lots of different textures as well…ribbed, soft spikes, bumps, rough contour…all can add a little spice to your enjoyment.

• How powerful do you like your toys? Some have different power settings, some only have one…and the difference between the power each toy can produce can be quite startling, especially if you are unprepared. First time toy users may not want something that can vibrate the plaster of the walls, and there is little point for the seasoned user to buy a toy that would barely give them a tickle. Obviously the more you use toys, the more comfortable you will become in handling the wilder beasts, so don’t neglect this important point!

• Quality; you can’t beat it. Like any product, sex toys are made by different companies to different standards. As someone who has tested and reviewed hundreds of toys, believe me, there are many out there not worth two cents. Some will fall apart after only a couple of uses, some have circuitry that is so cheap and tacky you can get a shocking surprise, some simply don’t live up to the expectations the company promotes and others can be downright dangerous. Go for reputable brands, and only buy from recommended Adult shops.

• Lastly, the cost is a big consideration. Leading on from the last point about quality, generally you will get what you pay for. Having said that, everything is relative, and there are plenty of options which are both cheap and very user friendly. For a new user of sex toys, a carefully spent $25 can open up an exciting world of delicious possibilities and exciting thrills. Then again, if you have the cash, $300 will buy you some furniture (like swings, or Liberator cushions) which will simply take your entire sex life to totally new levels of ecstasy. Adult shops recommended by TEW have a large range of products available that can meet most budgets, so go with those who have met TEW criteria.

But even after all of those points, how can you feel confident that the sex toy you are interested in purchasing is going to be the one for you? It’s simple really.
