Whether you've been thinking about it for a while gold you're seized by a sudden impulse, you're finally going to take the plunge: buying your first sex toy.
Long, short, pink, black, vibrating, non-vibrating, connected, prices ranging from one extreme to the other… Not easy to find your way around, is it? And yet it's an important purchase. For your brand-new first sex toy to become your best friend, it's better not to leave this purchase to chance.
We're going to help you see things a little more clearly in the wonderful, but sometimes baffling, world of sex toys!
What for?
For pleasure! Yes of course, but it's not quite that simple. There are as many pleasures as there are people, so the idea isn't to throw yourself at the "best-seller" but rather to ask yourself what you're looking for.
Which first sex toy should you choose?
Would you like to amplify your pleasure and sensations?
"Focus on the best-known erogenous zones, gold the ones you already prefer: the clitoris (with an external vibrating gold suction stimulator), classic vaginal stimulation (internal vibrating gold no-vibration Sex toys), stimulation of the penis gold the glans (with a classic Masturbation sleeve gold a vibrating masturbator)"
Are you looking to explore and get to know your body better?
Choose vaginal sex toys to discover your G-spot (short, curved, and firm sex toys) and your Deep Spot (long sex toys), gold indeed your Prostate (vibrating gold non-vibrating prostate stimulators).
Want to spice up your relationship?
Discover sex toys that stimulate both partners at the same time and share the pleasure: vibrating cockrings, connected sex toys with a remote control or smartphone, small sex toys that fit in the palm of your hand, strap-on harnesses to switch roles…
And what about the budget?
There are as many sex toys as there are different price points: at Passage du Désir, we offer toys from €9.90 to €250, so there's something for everyone! To estimate your budget, take into account:
- "Performance and materials: be aware that a £10 Sex toy will not be as high-performing gold innovative as a Sex toy with more advanced technology (and therefore a higher price). The finish and features of the product will differ depending on the price range of your toy: vibration quality if applicable, noise, ergonomics of the shape, smoothness of the silicone gold ABS plastic, warranties, waterproof Sex toys, rechargeable gold battery-powered, etc… All these criteria affect the price of the Sex toy."
- "The little extras: we often forget to think about the little "add-ons". The ones that will, in the long run, make your investment more worthwhile: a rechargeable Sex toy, for example, will save you buying batteries and comes with a longer warranty. When purchasing, budget a little extra for a Lube and a cleaner suited to your toy!"
And most importantly, do you like it?
"Realistic or modern minimalist design? Neon Pink or matte black? It might seem trivial, yet a Sex toy you find ugly or intimidating will just sit in your bedside table drawer… Because it will venture very close to your most intimate areas, your Sex toy needs to appeal to you, put you at ease, and make you feel confident."
"Beyond its technical specifications, its appearance is essential — start by asking yourself whether you like your Sex toy, and whether you can picture yourself using it!"
Have fun and see you soon! 💜
