  Adult  toys  unravel  -­‐part  one   With  all  the  negative  publicity  around  sex  it’s  hard  to  decide  whether  or  not  you  should   take  the  plunge  and  explore  sex  toys.  It  can  either  be  for  yourself  or  something  to  enjoy   with  your  partner  as  part  of  your  healthy  sex  life.     There  are  so  many  websites  selling  sex  toys.  They  all  promise  the  best  products,  best   service  and  offer  the  best  shopping  experience.   Only  one  problem,  they  have  thousands  of  different  toys  in  hundreds  of  categories  from   beginners  to  advanced,  products  for  men  and  women  and  everything  in  between.     You  are  soon  feeling  overwhelmed,  and  confused  thinking  to  yourself  How  do  I  know  which   product  is  right  for  me?  Where  do  I  start?   Purchasing  your  first  sex  toy  is  a  very  important  step  it  is  crucial  that  you’ll  have  as  much   information  as  possible.  It  is  important  to  know  that  the  sex  toy  industry  is  vast  and  is   unfortunately  not  regulated  and  there  are  a  lot  of  cheap  products  out  there  that  could   harm  you,  rather  than  give  you  the  sexual  experience  of  a  life  time.     When  purchasing  sex  toys  for  the  first  time  always  remember:   • If  you  are  new  always  go  for  hypoallergenic   • Brand  names  -­‐  Research  the  name  of  the  manufacturer.  Big  names  have  their  own   websites  with  useful  information  on  their  products.  They  don’t  always  sell  online  but   often  they’ll  have  lists  of  suppliers  that  stock  their  products.   • Technology:  Seems  random  mentioning  this  when  it  comes  to  sex  toys.  The   technology  used  determines  how  sex  toys  are  designed  to  fit  your  body,  quiet  motors   (nothing  worse  than  having  the  loud  buzzing  distract  you  from  the  task  at  err…hand),   motors  are  stronger,  products  have  rechargeable  batteries  and  have  suave  ways  to   control  your  device.  From  the  tips  of  your  fingers  to  the  buttons  on  your  iphone.     The  most  popular  first  toy  is  a  clitoral  stimulator,  they  are  small  discreet,  come  in  different   colures  and  shapes.  Some  are  softer  than  the  others  and  you  get  rechargeable  or  battery   activated  toys.
