Guide To Adult Sex Toys

Sex Toys Guide: Detailed Advice

• Introduction

  With so many different products to choose from, it can be easy to feel a little lost, especially if you are just dipping your toe into the sea of sex toys for the first time. Some adult sex toys are designed only for male or female anatomy, while other sex toys are ideal for use with a partner. This sex toys guide will help to clarify this.

  Let’s explore some of the pleasure-packed possibilities in the world of adult toys for him, for her and for us.

  Every sex toy has a specific purpose (sometimes several), and we’ll try to demystify each type for you, from anal plugs to luxury vibrators.

• Anal Stimulators

  

  There are many products that fall into the range of anal stimulators and they can be used by men, women or with a partner.  Some common products include anal beads, anal dildos, anal vibrators, butt plugs, vibrating butt plugs, inflatable butt plugs and prostate stimulators. Anal toys come in a variety of graduated sizes for all tastes and preferences. Read our anal sex toys guide below:

  Anal beads are a great intro toy for the beginner because of their graduated bead size. With one toy you can ease yourself into the possibilities of anal pleasure. With anal toys it’s important to ensure that you have the right, and enough, personal lubricant. With silicone toys it is best to be safe and use a water-based lubricant.

  Your anal toys must remain clean. To ensure this, Me & Mrs. Jones offers a variety of sex toy cleaners. Or if you prefer you can use warm water and soap.

  To keep yourself clean and fresh, we also have a range of anal douches so you can feel squeaky clean and confident when next engaging in anal play.

• Bullets, Balls and Eggs

  

  Sex toys have become increasingly more popular in recent years. While there have been a few obvious examples of this, such as dildos, there are a few others that may be somewhat more surprising, such as bullets, balls and eggs. Our sex toys guide below should help.

  Though each can have quite a significant impact on your sex life, it can often be difficult to keep up with the various toys that have been released. However, they can still be intriguing to many of us once we know what they are and how they can be used.

  Over the past few years, some of the most common of these have been:

  • Ben Wa Balls;
  • Egg Vibrators, and;
  • Bullet Vibrators.

  While you might have heard of one or two of these, a few of them might be new terms. As a result, many of us might not know precisely what these are or how we could use them. There are a few reasons why each could be worth experimenting with.

  Given that they’re quite affordable, you should be able to pick up a few of them. After all, using a few sex toys at the same time could be quite rewarding, especially when it comes to having a better orgasm.

  But first, it’s worth looking at why each of them should be worth considering.

  What Are Ben Wa Balls?

  Ben Wa Balls are products that many people might be surprised by, given that a large number of us might not have heard about them. Also known as Kegel Balls, these have been known to help women perform Kegel exercises to help strengthen their vaginal walls.

  While there isn’t any scientific backing behind this, there are a few other reasons why these have become popular. The most notable of these is that they can help increase sexual arousal and stimulation.

  These are weighted balls that can be placed inside the vagina to stimulate it, with makers of the balls claiming that they can help improve overall arousal. As a result of this, they’ve continued to be popular for the past few years.

  What Are Egg Vibrators?

  

  When many people think of a vibrator, the same image tends to come to mind. However, there is quite a large number of types that you’ll be able to choose between. One of the more popular recently has been Egg Vibrators, although many women may not know what these are.

  As you might have guessed from the name, these are small, egg-shaped vibrators that can be controlled with a remote. As such, they’re designed to be inserted into the vagina while cord sticks out to receive commands.

  These could prove to be quite effective for many of us, regardless of whether you’re using it yourself or with a partner. With how easy to use they are, anybody should be able to use them without putting too much effort into it.

  What Are Bullet Vibrators?

  Bullet Vibrators are perhaps one of the more well-known sex toys, although they’re still relatively niche. These are essentially smaller versions of their more-traditional counterparts, which makes them much more portable and easier to store. It should also mean that you’ll have more control over how it’s used.

  

  Alongside this, they can be much easier to use when you’re with a partner. This is primarily because they can easily nuzzle between you and your partner in areas where more traditional vibrators might not fit. As a result, you’ll be able to increase your overall satisfaction.

  What To Know Before Buying Sex Toys

  Before buying any sex toys, you should pay attention to a few key factors. This will make sure that you’re getting a high-quality product. One of the most notable considerations is the materials that it’s made from. This is primarily because products can come in quite a large range of materials.

  Typically, you should opt for one that’s made from silicone or medically-graded stainless steel. While there are other materials that you could use, these can often be some of the more high-quality. Though this will mean paying slightly more for the sex toy, it should avoid the development of any bacteria.

  In the majority of cases, you’ll want to avoid vinyl, rubber, and fake-skins, as these can all attract bacteria, fungi, and much more. Alongside this, you’ll need to pay a significant amount attention to cleaning and maintaining the sex toy.

  There are quite a large number of products that you can use to clean your sex toys, although the choice will depend on which material it’s made from.

  Each of the above sex toys could have quite a positive impact on your set life. The majority of choices that you have are much more affordable than you might think. As such, it could be worth investing in one of each. Experimenting should mean that you’ll find the right toy for you.

  And who wouldn’t want to have a bit of fun while experimenting? When you first start using any of the above, however, you should make sure that you read the manufacturer’s instructions beforehand.

  This should mean that you’ll be able to avoid injuring yourself when doing so. While none of the above should cause any harm when used properly, mistakes can often be made. Naturally, all of us will want to avoid this. While reading about your sex toy might seem boring, it’s still a vital part of the process.

• Cock Rings

  

  Cock rings, sometimes referred to as c-rings, are a sexual aide that restricts blood flow into the penis resulting in a longer lasting, harder erection. Read our cock rings sex toys guide below:

  In addition to a standard cock ring, many c-rings are textured or have an attached bullet vibrator that stimulates the clitoris during intercourse. This toy is typically used with a partner, but can also be worn during masturbation to intensify an orgasm.

  

  Safety Tips for Cock Rings

  You can use cock rings safely, but always follow the directions. Keep the following points in mind when using. These cock ring safety tips will ensure you get the most out of these sexual aids without an embarrassing trip to the emergency department:

  • If you have erectile dysfunction and think a cock ring will help, talk to your GP first, just to rule out any underlying medical issues.
  • Obviously don’t wear a cock ring if you have a blood condition or bleeding disorder.
  • Wear a cock ring for a maximum of 20 minutes in one session.
  • Use lots of personal lubricant if you are engaging in anal play (that’s kind of a no-brainer, and it feels better).
  • Use lube to make your cock ring easier to get on and off.
  • If using a firm c-ring, make sure to choose the right size so it does its job without cutting off circulation.
  • Avoid rings made of materials you may be allergic to, such as certain metals or latex.
  • Wash cock rings and other sex toys after every use to get rid of bacteria and reduce the risk of STI transmission.
  • Take it off if you feel any discomfort or pain, or notice any bruising.
• Dongs and Dildos

  

  Dildos and dongs are two names for the same type of toy. They are phallic objects that are placed into the vagina or anus for pleasure and erotic stimulation. They are made from a variety of materials, some are realistic with balls and a shaft while others are cylindrical or decorative.

  You can experiment with a range of dildos & dongs, a curved shape is efficient in stimulating the g-spot or the prostate, others have double penetration capabilities and are double sided so that you can share the fun with your partner. For the ladies that crave penetration and clitoral stimulation simultaneously, there are combination dildos with vibrators such as the Rabbit.

• E-stim Toys

  

  Generally speaking, electrosex, or electrostimulation, is the inclusion of electronic impulses during sexual activity. It can also be referred to as e-stim or e-stimulation. The hardware devices used in electrostimulation are referred to as e-stim toys or e-stim devices. Read our e-stim sex toys guide below:

  The term electrosex stands for a broad and exciting field, which can range from gentle foreplay to intensive penetration towards long climaxes.

  So, from tender to hard and from stimulating to exciting.

  This unique tingling sensation, bringing ecstasy to the whole body, can be enjoyed alone or with a partner.

  There are many sensitive nerve endings and pathways in our body transmitting information, such as a touch, to our brain. And for this exchange of information, our body itself constantly sends out electrical impulses. A blow on the skin, a gentle caress and of course a kiss or sex is transformed by our body from a “touch of nerve endings” to an electrical impulse, which is send to the brain as stimulation. A touch is therefore always an “indirect” electrical impulse in the body.

  In our sex organs there are particularly many sensitive nerve endings, just waiting for the raging e-stim impulses.

  For this stimulating communication in our body we have to touch a positive and a negative pole at the same time, so that current can flow through us – and this is precisely the place where the magic happens – in between the electric poles! 

  There are many exciting possibilities for this: Toys with two integrated conductive surfaces, Toys with one conductive surface and one adhesive electrode as an antipole, e-stim devices with two or more electrodes and toys that can be attached exactly in and to erogenous zones, and many more. There are no limits to your imagination – at least not because of technology!

  High-quality e-stim toys and e-stim devices have easy-to-use controls and pre-installed programs that make electrical stimulation a playful and intuitive setting matter.

• Masturbators

  These male sex toys offer a helping hand during masturbation. Read our male masturbators sex toys guide below:

  They can be used solo or with a partner who wants to spice up a hand job.  Male masturbators come in different materials including cyberskin which replicates the sensation of skin to skin contact. Some masturbators even come in the likeness of your favourite porn star!

• Penis Pumps

  

  Penis pumps are designed to enlarge the penis and maintain an erection by creating a partial vacuum. The penis is placed in the cylindrical device and is pumped either by hand or with battery power to increase blood flow which enlarges the member. Remember to measure yourself before ordering in order to choose the best fit.

  Over the past few years, penis pumps have become much more popular. However, this hasn’t meant that many of us know much about them. In contrast, there are quite a significant number of people who are new to the world of penis pumps.

  

  While the majority of men will know the benefits of penis pumps, this hasn’t meant that they know how to use them safely. However, this is a vital part of using them, as they could do a significant amount of damage when misused.

  Alongside this, quite a large number of us might have questions about how penis pumps work. There are a few things you should know to make sure that you see the best results possible when you use one.

  How Does A Penis Pump Work?

  A penis pump is a cylinder that’s placed over the penis, which then uses pumping to create a significant amount of suction in the tube. This will then cause your penis to grow to match up with the negative pressure that’s been created.

  

  Much of this will be because it will draw more blood to the penile shaft. As a result of this, there should be more blood than normal inside these vessels, so you should have a more engorged erection.

  Typically, you’ll need to use an erection ring in conjunction with this, as your penis will usually deflate back to its natural size. However, this ring will help maintain the erection for a full session. There are a few other benefits to using a penis pump, with many men claiming that it can permanently increase their size with long-term usage.

  Unlike the majority of medications, you shouldn’t need a prescription to use a penis pump. As a result, you should be able to help maintain an erection without needing Viagra or other pills. However, it can best be used in conjunction with these medications.

  Despite the benefits that a penis pump can have, there are also a few risks involved with them. This includes swelling, pain, and others. If you don’t use it correctly, then there’s also a chance that you could do long-term damage to your penis. This should mean that knowing how to use it properly can be vital.

  How To Use A Penis Pump Safely

  Given how much of a risk can be involved with a penis pump, you should want to make sure that you’re using it properly. While much of this can vary from product to product, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. The most obvious of these is to read the manufacturer’s instructions before doing anything.

  While this might seem boring, it’s a vital part of making sure you’re using it correctly. Once you’ve done this, you should make sure that everything is clean before inserting yourself into the cylindrical tube. Following this, you’ll then need to leave the air out of the tube, which is where your manufacturer’s instructions will come into play.

  You should also start your timer and start pumping. When you’re pumping, you should pay attention to any warning signs that your body will be giving you, which should make sure that you’re not doing any damage.

  The last step is to deflate the tube, which should only take a few seconds. Once this has been done, you can take your penis out of it. However, it’s recommended that you wait a few minutes before engaging in any strenuous activity.

  Penis Pumping Techniques

  The above penis pumping technique is the most common, although that doesn’t mean that there aren’t a few other ways of doing so. In contrast, there are four other techniques that you can take advantage of, which each having their benefits. These are:

  • Shaking: Shaking is a way that you can have stronger erections for longer periods. It can also be beneficial for your overall groin area. You should first place an erect penis into the tube and applying the pressure. Then you should rock your hips back and form, although you should make sure that this isn’t too forceful.
  • Wrapping: This is an approach that’s quite similar to the typical process of using a penis pump. However, it also involves wrapping a heat source around the pump while you’re using it. This should dilate the blood vessels, which should lead to longer-lasting erections. You’ll need to be quite careful with the temperature, however.
  • Pulse Pumping: This is quite an effective way to improve blood circulation in your penis. It’s also a great way of exercising many of the organ’s muscles. The typical process involves using different pressure settings in a single sitting. In most cases, you’ll want to start at the highest pressure before lowering it over time.
  • Milking: This is a popular technique for increasing and maintaining blood circulation in your penis. It also helps to strengthen the internal chambers of the penis, which can be an attractive benefit. This is similar to masturbation, except you’ll be holding onto the pump instead of your shaft. It’s recommended that you do this for no longer than seven minutes, especially when you first start. You should also make sure that you avoid putting too much pressure on it.

  By following each of the above steps, you should be able to use a penis pump safely. Like many other products, however, you’ll need to pay a significant amount of attention to the manufacturer’s instructions. This applies even if you’ve already used a penis pump before, as directions can often differ from one pump to another.

  By knowing what you’re doing, you’ll be able to avoid any disastrous mistakes from happening. If our sex toys guide didn’t answer your questions, please get in touch.

• Rabbits

  

  The Rabbit vibrator first surfaced in the mainstream after an episode of Sex and the City. The now iconic sex toy made centre stage in 1998  in the appropriately named episode “The Turtle and the Hare.” Miranda suggested that the shy and bashful Charlotte try a Rabbit vibrator. The Rabbit ended up being so strong that Carrie and Miranda had to forceably drag Charlotte out of bed after she fell “down the Rabbit hole” and became addicted to her new friend. Our sex toys guide below should help you find the right rabbit vibrator to keep you coming and cumming back for more.

  A rabbit style vibrator allows for the dual action of clitoral stimulation and a penetrative massage, creating a great deal of pleasure for women all around the world.

  The rabbit is a larger style adult sex toy, and might be a little overwhelming for a newbie to toys, but if you are after an intense experience the rabbit will become the favourite item in your bedside table.

  At Me and Mrs Jones we have a massive range of rabbit from small to large, at affordable through to luxury price points. Our favourite rabbits are the Adam & Eve The Midnight Rabbit Vibrator, Evolved Golden Bunny Rechargeable Pink Vibrator, and the Satisfyer Pro G-Spot Rabbit. These rabbits are stylishly designed, rechargable (no batteries), waterproof, quiet and really really effective. 

  Note: because the massage vibrations are so intense, many manuals recommend only using the rabbit for 20 minutes at a time. But hey, it’s your body, your pleasure.

• Remote Controlled Sex Toys

  

  Read our remote controlled sex toys guide below:

  Remote controlled and Smart-phone controlled sex toys open the door for an entire playground of erotic sensation and fun. 

  This is a great toy for couples, enabling someone else to be in charge of the length and intensity of the vibrations either from across the dinner table or from across the country allowing you to fully surrender to the sensation.

  It could add a touch of excitement and light exhibitionism to your routine or it could take your phone sex with a partner to a whole new level.

• Sleeves and Extensions

  

  Penis sleeves or cock sleeves are usually made of plastic or rubber and are worn on the penis like a sleeve. They come in different textures to enhance sensation during sex. Similar to the sleeve, penis extensions can be smooth or textured for pleasure, but also add an extending effect for the penis increasing length and/or girth giving you and your partner the experience of an even bigger penis. Some are closed at the top and others are open allowing for a more free ejaculation.

• Strap-Ons

  

  Strap-ons are dildos that fit into a harness that are attached to the hips or waste to create the experience of an artificial penis. Instead of using a free standing dildo – which requires movement by ones hand – strap-ons allow for dildo penetration through thrusting. There are a variety of harness styles, some allow for interchangeable dildos & dongs of varying lengths and girths to be inserted into the harness.

  Another type of strap-on allows for hands free thrusting without the harness.  These strap-ons are enjoyed using a bulb that can either be controlled with the hand or inserted vaginally at one end and inserted into a partner at the other. Other variations of the traditional strap on are the two-way strap on that penetrates both the giver and receiver as well as the double penetration cock-ring strap on that fastens at the base of the penis.

• Swings and Slings

  Sex swings, slings and sex furniture allow you to get into exciting sex positions that otherwise might be a little difficult or acrobatic to achieve. They can introduce aspects of bondage as well as help in finding new angles that will allow you to live out your naughtiest fantasies.

• Vibrators

  

  A vibrator, like its name suggests, vibrates to create erotic stimulation. There are a plethora of vibrator styles to choose from. Some provide internal G-spot vibrations while others specialise in clitoral orgasm. The most popular, however, are the vibrators that do both, such as rabbit vibrators.

  There is a vast choice of vibrators in our store, from vibrators for the budget conscious, through to luxury vibrators. The main differences are materials, noise level, strength of vibration, whether it is rechargeable or waterproof. Generally the whisper quiet vibrators are in the mid to luxury price point, as are those made from the highest quality silicone. With all things you do get what you pay for and with vibrators this is very true.

  Bullet vibrators: This is a great choice for your first toy as they are small, offer direct and strong clitoral stimulation. 

  Wand vibrators: wands are the perfect choice for a vibrating massager for all over and especially the clitoris, when you want strong intensity, especially main powered versions, like the Doxy Extra Powerful Massager.
