How do I choose a sex toy?

Choosing a sex toy these days is almost as complicated as finding your dream car or smartphone. Once upon a time, it was just a matter of picking the right size and material for your dildo — you know, the good old-fashioned kind. Now there are so many areas you can stimulate, vibrating and non-vibrating options, different users and features ranging from useful to frivolous that there are sex toys for every need, even ones you didn’t know you had!

So how do you find your way through the world of intimate toys? Focus on what matters most: the area you want to stimulate. Then, depending on your budget, you can decide on the extras: battery life, waterproofing, connectivity and so on…

Whatever you’d most like to stimulate, here’s our shortlist of intimate accessories loved by our customers: tried-and-tested favourites you can compare with other, more or less sophisticated models:

Sex toy for clitoral stimulation: the Womanizer Premium 2: probably the most popular clitoral sex toy today. Once Womanizer’s top-of-the-range model, it’s now more affordable without losing any of its legendary effectiveness.


Vibrator for vaginal stimulation: the Lush 4 by Lovense: this connected vibrating egg can be used solo at home or, even better, with a partner while you’re out and about, for a fun shared thrill whether you’re a few metres or miles apart.


Rabbit for vaginal and clitoral stimulation: the Bali rabbit by Hyyo: pressure waves stimulate the clitoris without direct contact, while its insertable vibrating shaft gives your G-spot plenty of attention at the same time.


Masturbator for penile stimulation: the Hector tapping masturbator: it vibrates against the shaft and taps the head for a hard-to-resist sensation. Its open design fits all sizes, and because it’s rechargeable and 100% waterproof, it really does tick every box.


Sex toy for prostate stimulation: the Hector remote-controlled prostate stimulator: same brand, different side 😉 Its tapered, curved shape is perfect for your first prostate adventures and beyond. With its remote control, all that’s left is to choose your favourite setting.


Clitoral, vaginal and penile vibrator: the Split remote-controlled couples’ stimulator: a favourite sex toy among heterosexual couples. During penetration, it vibrates against the clitoris, the G-spot and the penis beside its internal arm. It brings you closer together — but who gets the remote?


Plug for anal stimulation: the Barry vibrating anal plug: its tapered shape, manageable size and wonderfully soft silicone make it an ideal first vibrating plug, with plenty to offer for years to come. And because it’s rechargeable and 100% waterproof, it’s hard to fault.

Whatever you choose, remember that Passage du Désir selects the best intimate toys for you. We certainly don’t stock them all! We offer only those we consider "safe", made from body-safe, phthalate-free, hypoallergenic medical-grade silicone, along with antibacterial cleaning products suitable for these materials. Finally, we handle after-sales service ourselves in France, so you’re covered whatever happens.
