How to Choose Your First Sex Toy: The Complete Guide

Buying your first sex toy is a significant step in discovering your intimacy. At Aura Intime, we understand that this process can seem intimidating. This guide is here to help you, without judgment, choose the toy that's right for you.

Where to start?

Before you begin, ask yourself a few simple questions:

  • For whom? A toy for yourself, for a couple, or for exploring new sensations together?
  • What type of stimulation? Clitoral, vaginal, prostatic, or combined?
  • How discreet? Do you prefer a silent toy for discreet use?

Essentials for beginners

For her

The clitoral vibrator is often the first choice. Compact, discreet, and effective, it offers targeted stimulation. Suction models (like Satisfyer) are particularly popular with beginners for their gentleness and effectiveness.

The vibrating egg is also an excellent first toy: small, non-intimidating, and perfect for discovering vibrations solo or as a couple.

For him

The vibrating ring is ideal for starting: it's easy to wear, prolongs pleasure, and can be used alone or as a couple. Entry-level prostate stimulators are designed for gentle exploration with ergonomic shapes.

For couples

A discovery kit is perfect for exploring together. It usually contains several accessories to vary pleasures without investing in many separate products.

Materials: an essential criterion

Always prioritize body-safe materials:

  • Medical-grade silicone: hypoallergenic, easy to clean, durable
  • ABS: hard, smooth, and non-porous plastic
  • Stainless steel or glass: elegant and easy to sterilize

Avoid toys made of porous materials (jelly, soft PVC, rubber) which can contain harmful substances.

Maintenance: an essential step

Clean your toy before and after each use with a specific cleaner or lukewarm water and mild soap. Store it in its original pouch, away from dust.
