Is a sex toy a good gift?
Shopping for sex toys is a delicate art. It can be helpful to determine if your gift recipient is ready for a sex toy before investing in a new pleasure product. A thorough conversation can help determine what type of products they are interested in and what concerns they may have. My friends, family, and partners know that the sex toy industry is my passion, so I am never surprised when I gift them a pleasure object. Review the checklist below to determine if a sex toy is a viable gift option for your loved ones. If you are still on the fence, feel free to let your friend/lover/sibling/parent know that you are interested in getting them something of the adult variety.
- They expressed interest in using a vibrator
- They have brought a sexual problem to your attention and asked for your comments or suggestions.
- They openly discuss their sexual experiences with you
- They bought a sex toy for you or with you
How much should I spend on a sex toy?
You’ve decided to buy a sex toy! Vibrators , lubricants , and lingerie can make incredibly fun gifts for both the giver and the receiver. Disposable products or those made from less durable materials are great for those looking to experiment with a new shape or style of toy, but when I’m giving a sex toy as a gift, I look for products that will last a long time. I want to choose products that will allow my loved ones to explore new sensations without having to worry about an expiration date. Exploring your sexuality should happen on your own schedule, whether that’s five days or five months after you receive or purchase a sex toy . By purchasing body-safe gifts, I’m communicating to my loved ones that I want them to find pleasure in the safest and easiest way possible. We recommend materials like glass, steel, and silicone for long-term, body-safe use. You can find body-safe sex toys at various prices ranging from $20 to $300.
What type of sex toy should I buy?
Sex toys come in many different shapes and textures. When it comes to choosing a sex toy, consider how the product design can impact the user’s experience. As a seasoned sex toy buyer, I understand that it can be difficult (FRUSTRATING) to wade through a 30-page product manual. Using a sex toy doesn’t have to be complicated. If you’re buying a toy for a first-time user, look for simple, intuitive button interfaces. It’s common to see about three buttons on your vibrator. These buttons allow you to increase the power, decrease the power, or activate a pattern mode. Some toys have 4-7 buttons. My advice: save these for experienced toy users.
I also like to look at the texture and size of the toy. If you can, hold the product in your hands. Is it soft? Is it textured? How does it feel in your hand? Toys that sit on your palm or act as an extension of your fingers may be more accessible to those who are less experienced. Finally, take a look at the ambiguity of the toy. Most people will find it alarming to receive a realistic-looking sex toy. Unless this is something you’ve discussed with them, opt for toys that could pass for a facial massager, art object, or household appliance.
Dual-Use Sex Toys: The Gift That Lasts
The next thing we’ll need to consider is the features and functions of your vibrator. I like to buy waterproof products with a wide range of settings. This ensures that no matter what type of stimulation my loved one enjoys, they’ll be able to access it. A toy with an unusual shape should never be overlooked, as these products can translate to more versatile use. Maybe you want to buy them a dual-action vibrator that could double as an anal toy . A clitoral stimulator can also double as a body massager . Keep your options open so your loved one can get creative. This also creates an opportunity to refine any special features you might want to include. For example, I like to buy connected sex toys for my friends who are in long-distance relationships. What features could your loved one benefit from?
Make it your own: carefully selected sex toys
I’m a huge fan of gift bundles . I love watching my friends and lovers explore their sexuality with confidence and excitement, so I try to include any products that might help take their experience to the next level. The Pixie Dust Clitoral Stimulator is my go-to product. I always make sure to include a bottle of this product with any gift I purchase because it’s been such a life-changing experience. If you have a product that’s changed your perspective on sex toys, now’s the time to include it! Gift bundles are a great way to share your favorite products with a loved one. Adding a few small items can create a story for the recipient that makes your gift even more special…look for some of our favorite small items in our Christmas stocking collection online.
Sex Toy Essentials for the Perfect Gift Set
Don’t forget these essentials when buying a sex toy as a gift! Lube and toy cleaner can help ensure better sexual experiences and improve the longevity of your sex toy. Set your friends and lovers up for success and give them the proper tools to maintain their toys. This will protect your loved ones from bacteria that builds up on the toy’s surface or any tears that may occur.
We hope this guide has given you a little more confidence when it comes to gifting a sex toy.
