10 sex toys that will elevate your pleasure

10 ερωτικά παιχνίδια που θα απογειώσουν την απόλαυσή σου

Sex toy technology has come a long way in the last 10 years-not only in terms of cultural acceptance and awareness but also the technology itself. Gone are the days of classic, pink, plastic rabbit-shaped vibrators and weird-looking sex toys. Today's sex toys are designed by sex educators, medical professionals and some of the world's greatest sex experts. They feature ultra-high quality medical grade silicone, powerful Bluetooth connectivity, programmable vibration patterns and multiple motors, all designed to help you have fun!

There's never a bad time to invest in a little extra self-care. The following are the best sex toys, vibrators, smart vibrators, personal massagers with handle and accessories that we've personally tested. There is something to suit everyone, every gender and every body. These sex toys are not aimed at one gender but we have approached the testing in a gender inclusive way, testing them with a variety of people, bodies and partners.

Which games are for my body?

The sexual technology industry has conditioned us to think of toys in terms of male and female, penis and vagina, but this is reductive and inaccurate and contributes to a broader narrative about the relationship between genitalia and sex. We choose to be as specific as possible and use anatomical terms to describe individual erogenous zones - and there are many more than we know!

The vulva is the outer part of the vagina. It includes the labia majora, labia minora, urethra and clitoris. The clitoris is the center of the erogenous nerves in the vulva and is much larger than the outer part. Its internal structures extend to both sides of the vagina, where you'll find the G-spot - the area stimulated by toys that curve towards the front of your body.

The penis includes a few erogenous zones. The glans is the top of the penis, commonly referred to as the "head", and the frenulum is a thin strip of connective tissue on the underside of the glans that can be particularly sensitive when there is a lot of stimulation. Last but not least, the anus! We are referring to the posterior orifice. The rectum is the internal part that connects to the anus. Both of these areas can be sensitive to internal and external stimulation.

For men there is an additional erogenous zone, the prostate or P-spot. This is a walnut-sized gland that lives between the internal structures of the penis and the rectum and can be accessed with toys that curve towards the front of your body.

 

What is your sex toy made of?

Shopping tips
Throughout this guide, we refer to the various materials that these sex toys are made from and there is a good reason for this. It is notoriously difficult to determine exactly what materials some sex toy manufacturers use and how safe they are for contact with the more sensitive parts of your body.

1. However, there are some sure bets. You want your sex toys to be, first and foremost, non-porous. A porous material will be nearly impossible to clean completely and will degrade and harbor more and more bacteria over time.

2. Second, you want it to be made of materials that will not shed chemicals, plastics or other materials during regular use. The materials you will generally prefer are surgical steel (316 or 316L steel), borosilicate glass and silicone.

3. Silicone is one of the most difficult materials because there are so many ways of making it and so many different standards in parts of the world. In fact, there are not enough studies to test which types of silicone are safer. There is research along with some common testing standards: platinum-cured silicone and food-grade silicone. Food-grade is a label regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that means the silicone has been tested to make sure it doesn't leach harmful chemicals into food. A co-founder at that company says: "Once we get past the food category, a lot of things come into play that are difficult to verify." Platinum-cured silicone is safer than standard (peroxide-polymerized) silicone because the chemicals used to make silicone are more fully consumed during the process, leaving nothing behind to leak into your body. Platinum-cured silicones are surprisingly odorless for this reason.

The medical grade is a label you will see quite often, but if not supported by the specific regulatory body or testing standard used to determine the medical grade. If the manufacturer specifies what type of silicone they use, we will mention it in the product description. If it is unclear, we will report it as unspecified silicone. That doesn't mean it's bad! It just means that the specific type used in this toy is not mentioned or provided to us as information.

 

Vibrator
You know the saying, "First you eat with your eyes?" I think this is especially true for sex games. The look and structure of a sex toy should be important! If it's not something pleasant to look at, you won't want to spend time with it. This vibrator is, like other sex toys very nice on the outside! It has great color options like a cool mint pale color and a bright red plum. It feels good in the hand. It even looks a bit like a tongue from the side! Dip is a simple erotic toy. It's a waterproof vibrator coated in silicone and is silent. It's nice to use, to feel it in your hand and inside your body. There's a level of design that you just don't see in toys as affordable as the Dip.

Clitoral suction toy
It is flexible, strong and surprisingly soft. The entire body of the sex toy is covered in soft silicone, so it is better than previous versions. The buttons are all conveniently located on the back of the toy, right where your fingertips are placed. It's a refined version and it feels that way. There is a level of care and craftsmanship in the construction of this toy that I appreciate. The mouth is removable so you can wash it or replace it with the new "wet air" mouthpiece; it simulates the sensation of hitting more than sucking or pulsing air, which is a fun change of pace. The sex toy also features a built-in vibration function. The third button on the toy goes through vibration patterns that can increase pleasure.

Sex Machine
There are generally two types of sex machines. Those that have a toy on the end of a robotic thrusting arm and those in which you sit like a saddle while vibrating the seat and attached toy. It's a Sybian type machine that can also thrust.
It has a vibrating seat with a play attachment oriented vertically and provides a back and forth motion. You can control both types of stimulation from the included button and, frankly, it provides sensations that you can't get from any other toy. It really is a unique experience! The dual functionality makes it a great choice for anyone interested in home sex machines, because these things are expensive. With this, you are aiming for value for money!

Sex toy and jewellery at the same time

Love toys are often placed in closets, drawers and hidden places to keep them away from prying eyes. Keep it secret, keep it safe. This toy is something different though. It's something you wear, not hide! It's a slim, powerful vibrator that doubles as a bold statement necklace. Even if you don't wear it, it's an extremely good choice. It has two vibration modes (constant and pulse), but it's shockingly powerful for such a tiny object, plus it's quiet. The pointed shape makes it a good choice for targeted stimulation and it's quite powerful. You'll feel its vibrations deep in your body. Don't put it inside your body though. This sex toy is strictly for external use only. It's bold and subtle, elegant and discreet. But above all, it's a functional addition to the collection of anyone looking for highly sexual toys.

For beginners in anal play
Anal play can be scary. This is ridiculously affordable and the right size for beginners - not too big but not too small either. The curved base keeps the toy firmly in place without being uncomfortable. The medical-grade silicone exterior is also easy to clean. Just be sure to pair it with a water-based lubricant.

Genital massage device
It is one of my favourite new vibrators. It is asymmetrical, with a flat cut on one side, giving you a variety of rounded and pointed angles that you can use for stimulation. It's shaped like a raindrop, with a curved tip that does a great job of concentrating the vibrations it produces. The body of the sex toy is lined with platinum-treated silicone and is soft and smooth to the touch. The silicone used in is extremely well made so it doesn't absorb lubrication. Even a few drops of water-based lubricant make the exterior take on a texture like the inside of your cheek. Glossy but not rough or sticky.

Prostate vibrator with remote control
It is a remote controlled prostate vibrator. If you don't have a prostate (being a woman), it still works great, with two powerful motors with six vibration modes and 12 intensity levels. It's waterproof and comes with an interesting feature: motion sensitivity. When in motion detection mode, simply tilting or moving the remote can decrease or increase the intensity of the vibration. This makes it a lot of fun to use with a partner but also really great for solo use. If you're new to anal toys, its modest size isn't intimidating. The toy is great for all genders.

For two
It is one of the best sex toys I have ever tried. It is a dual purpose vibrator and it also stimulates with air pulses. The air pulse end provides steady, slow but powerful suction, while the other end is where you'll feel the vibrations most intensely. It's pretty low volume even on the highest settings, which can be a good thing. It's best to use this toy with a partner, with one person enjoying each climax as much as you do!

Clitoral Aspirator
On first use, it made me angry. The gentle vibrations and gentle suction felt like a caress, and not in a good way - or so I thought. The sex toy has eight silent settings, and even the highest is significantly less intense than you might be used to. This is intentional. It offers slow buildup with great performance. The wide mouth focuses more on the erogenous zones, leading to a deeper and more sustained orgasm. Use it with lube (or in the bath) for solo sex or during sex toys with a partner.

Massage - vibrator
This microphone-like vibrator is both large and powerful. Almost as heavy as a Maglite flashlight, this vibrator is a great choice for anyone who wants the most powerful vibrations you can get from a wireless vibrator. Even on the lowest volume setting it's powerful, but that makes it an excellent choice for indirect stimulation. It's powerful enough to be fully felt over clothing, and the vibrations travel far into your body and deep under your skin. The size is also a plus, it's comfortable and durable-the outer part is cast aluminum is nice and cool-and because of its length, it's easy to use in different positions. This is a toy that encourages creativity. Aluminum exterior, body-safe silicone head. Ideal for all genitals and erogenous zones.
