Frisky and adventurous, our minds meander into a titillating daydream about the little partners we call sex toys. If the first stop on their journey is Vibrator Junction, our imaginations are far from alone. When most sexplorers think of toys-they think vibrator. These little treats can be incredibly stimulating, increasing blood flow and sending your senses to new heights. Add lubricant and you might be the first woman to land on the moon. But before you go off half cocked, I suggest marking your favourites on this list of basics. Goldilocks isn’t the only who deserves to have it juuuust right.

Power-Bring your own batteries! Or, put your rocket in a socket. I like the lightweight and portable aspects of battery-operated vibrators, and their smorgasbord of sizes, shapes and colours. Although a little harder on your wallet, their electric cousin can offer greater quality, endurance and power, and you can still get mobility with the rechargeable variety.

Size-As you give yourself a hand, you want a vibrator that is easy to handle, and able to manoeuvre to suit your needs in making the magic happen.

Cost-Our mother always told us: we get what we pay for. (I wonder if she meant vibrators?). The more change you can find under the couch cushions, the better quality you will enjoy, but this is not to say you can’t be happy with the more modest models.

Material-Once you zero in on the right material for your optimal texture and comfort, you are one step closer to your pleasure principle. Choose from hard plastic or rubber (silicone, plain, jelly or natural), being mindful of any allergic or chemical reaction you may have.

Purpose-How will you get your groove on? The vibrator you choose can depend on the way you want to use it. I am of the majority that prefers hard plastic for clitoral stimulation. For penetration, most go with silicone and soft rubber. While it’s hard to find a vibrator designed to play for both teams, I have found that a rubber job with its motor near the tip can be the most versatile.

Type of vibration-”Not all vibrators are created equal” is especially true of the way they dance. Traditional vibrating at different power levels is just the beginning. Gyrating and pulsating are some of the ways today’s vibrators thrill us by coloring outside the lines.

The players-Using your vibrator for solo or partner play can help you decide which way to go. Aside from the basic variables, choices I’ve encountered include handle length and wearability. A coming together of the minds may be in order before someone hits “order.”

Care and cleaning-I like to know what I’m getting into (usually). Different materials require different lubricants and cleaning routines, and some vibrators-like women-can be higher maintenance than others.

Noise level-We know our own tolerance for audio while we’re trying to concentrate on very important bedroom (or whatever room) business. Most vibrators come with a noise level rating.
With your checklist checked, vibrator of choice in hand, and finger on the trigger … you have lift-off.

Isn’t life grand? With its sprawling buffet of penis impersonators out there for the choosing. So many dildos, so little time. Having transcended its traditional Toyland image as being somewhat intimidating to women, today’s collection of this classic libido quencher includes varieties that appeal to your feminine side. Beyond one thing that isn’t really up for debate-lubricant makes everything better-contemplating your options to find the best dildo for you should include:

Size-Lube up your digits and give your vagina the girth test.

Shape-While you can go not just in and out but up and down, sideways, and around and around with any dildo, you still want to start with one that satisfies your particular desires … short, long, wide or narrow.

Texture-Which will make your toes curl? Smooth, dimpled, ridged, and more. Dildos may very well have the edge on the real thing … they come in textures that Mother Nature hasn’t duplicated.

Material-Will the real penis please stand up? Dildos are being created from highly evolved, lifelike materials that give Mr. Flesh a run for his money. Different materials give different sensations and levels of comfort via flexibility, texture and durability. Take note of potential allergy foes.

• Silicone rubber is touted for quality, easy cleaning, and variety in shape, size, and colour.
• Jelly rubber is easy on the wallet and beginner-friendly. Condom recommended.
• Cyberskin (rubber) and Vixskin (silicone). The name says it all … these gems are made to feel like skin. Condom recommended.
• Metal and glass bring extreme intensity and unrivaled durability.

Vibrating-The best of both worlds, perhaps. Is it a dildo? Is it a vibrator? Why choose! Vibrating dildos come in a variety of speeds and levels of operational sophistication.

Care and cleaning-The material you choose will dictate the type of lubricant and cleaner you can use on your new friend. Make an informed decision … read the care instructions before you buy.

Purpose-While most dildo shoppers are seeking some loving for their g-spot, some dildos cater to anal pleasure more than others.

Noise level-Mindset can be everything on the road to O-ville. A vibrating dildo shouldn’t be so loud that it derails your journey.

Harness compatibility-If somebody’s strapping it on, get a dildo with a flared base and adequate firmness.

Colour-Modern dildos come in a veritable rainbow. If you don’t yet have a signature colour … here’s your chance.

Decide which factors are most important to you, and then go forth and conquer. So many choices may make deciding a challenge, but what a lovely problem to have!
