Whether you've been thinking about it for a while or you're suddenly taken by impulse, you're finally going to take the plunge: buy your first sextoy.
Long, short, pink, black, vibrating, non-vibrating, connected, prices ranging from simple to double... Not easy to find your way around, is it? And yet it is an important purchase. To ensure that your new first sextoy becomes your best friend, it's better not to leave this purchase to chance.
So we're going to help you get a clearer view of the wonderful, but sometimes incomprehensible, world of sex toys!
For what purpose?
To have pleasure! Yes, of course, but it's not that simple. There are as many pleasures as there are people, so the idea is not to jump on the "best-seller" but rather to ask yourself what you are looking for.
Which first sextoy to choose?
Do you want to amplify your pleasure and sensations?
Focus on the most well-known erogenous zones, or those you already prefer: the clitoris (with an external Vibrating stimulator or suction), classic vaginal stimulation (internal vibrating or non-vibrating sex toys), stimulation of the penis or the glans of the penis (with a classic masturbation sleeve or a Vibrating masturbator)
Are you looking to explore and better understand your body?
Prefer vaginal sex toys to discover your G-spot (short, curved, and rigid toys) and your Deep Spot (long toys) or even your Prostate (vibrating or non-vibrating prostate stimulators).
Do you want to spice up your relationship?
Discover the sex toys that allow both partners to be stimulated at the same time and share the pleasure: vibrating cock rings, connected sex toys with remote control or smartphone, small-sized sex toys that fit in the palm of your hand, strap-on harnesses to reverse roles …
And what about the budget?
There are as many sex toys as there are different prices: at Passage du Désir, we offer toys from €9.90 to €250, so there's something for everyone! To estimate your budget, consider:
- Performance, materials: be aware that a sextoy at €10 will not be as efficient or innovative as a sextoy with more advanced technology (and therefore more expensive). The finishes and features of the product will vary depending on the price range of your toy: quality of vibrations if any, noise, shape ergonomics, softness of silicone or ABS plastic, warranties, waterproof sex toys, rechargeable or battery-operated, etc. All these criteria influence the price of the sextoy.
- The little extras: we often forget to think about the little "extras." Those that will make your investment more interesting in the long run: a rechargeable sextoy, for example, will save you a battery budget and offer you a longer warranty. When purchasing, plan a small budget for lubricant and cleaner adapted to your toy!
And above all, do you like it?
Realistic or modern and minimalist design? Neon pink or matte black? It may seem trivial, yet a sextoy that you find ugly or intimidating will stay in the drawer of your nightstand... Because it will venture closest to your intimacy, your sextoy must please you, put you at ease and make you feel confident.
Beyond its technical sheet, its appearance is essential, so start by asking yourself if your sextoy pleases you, and if you imagine yourself using it!
Have fun and see you soon! 💜
