How to Choose the Right Sex Toy for You

Exploring sex toys can be exciting, empowering—and admittedly, a little overwhelming at first. With so many shapes, sizes, functions, and buzzwords out there, it’s easy to feel unsure about what to buy or where to start.

At Dreamtoyz.ca, our goal is to make this journey feel comfortable, informed, and judgment-free. We believe pleasure should be accessible, elegant, and safe, not confusing or intimidating. This guide is here to help you understand your options, so you can choose sex toys that truly fit you—your body, your desires, and your budget.

Step 1: Think About What You Want to Feel

Before you start scrolling through products, pause and ask yourself a simple question:

What do I want to feel?

Instead of starting with toy types, start with sensations and situations:

• Areas you want to focus on:

  • External (clitoris, vulva, nipples, perineum, penis)

  • Internal (vagina, G-spot, prostate, anus)

• Intensity:

  • Gentle and teasing

  • Deep and rumbly

  • Strong and intense

• Context:

  • Solo pleasure

  • With a partner

  • Both

There are no right or wrong answers here. Your preferences will help you narrow down which type of toy is likely to make you happiest.

Step 2: Match Sensations to Toy Types

Now that you have an idea of what you’d like to feel, let’s connect that to the main types of toys you’ll find on Dreamtoyz.ca.

1. Bullet & Mini Vibrators

Best for: External stimulation, beginners, discreet use

These are small, powerful vibrators designed for targeted pleasure—especially around the clitoris and other sensitive areas.

• Great “first toy” choice

• Easy to hold, store, and travel with

• Often more affordable, so you can experiment

If you’re curious but nervous about your first toy, a bullet is a fantastic place to start.

2. Classic & G-Spot Vibrators

Best for: Internal vaginal or G-spot stimulation

These toys are designed for insertion and usually have a longer shape. Some have a gentle curve to reach the G-spot more easily.

• Perfect if you already enjoy penetration or want to explore it

• Some models offer a mix of internal and external sensations

• Available in a range of sizes—from slim and beginner-friendly to fuller and more intense

Look for curved tips or descriptions mentioning “G-spot” if you’re particularly curious about that area.

3. Dual-Stimulation Toys (e.g., Rabbit-Style)

Best for: Intense blended sensations

Dual-stimulation toys target internal and external pleasure at the same time—often the G-spot and clitoris.

• Ideal for those who like multiple points of stimulation

• Can be more intense than single-area toys

• Great for users who already know they enjoy strong sensations

If you’re new to toys, you might start with a bullet or simple vibrator first, then explore dual-stimulation once you’re more comfortable with what you enjoy.

4. Prostate & Anal Toys

Best for: Prostate play, anal exploration

Anal and prostate toys are designed with safety in mind—most have a flared base or shape that prevents the toy from slipping inside too far.

• Choose smaller sizes if you’re a beginner

• Always use lots of lube

• Never use a toy anally without a flared base

Prostate toys are shaped to stimulate the prostate (often called the “P-spot”), providing deep, unique pleasure for people with that anatomy.

5. Couple’s Toys & Rings

Best for: Shared pleasure during partnered play

These toys are designed to be worn or used during intercourse, adding extra stimulation for one or both partners.

• Vibrating rings can enhance sensations for those with penises and their partners

• Couple’s vibrators can be worn during penetration to stimulate the clitoris or other external areas

• Great for couples wanting to spice things up without changing their usual routine too much

Step 3: Choose Safe, Body-Friendly Materials

Your body deserves the best. At Dreamtoyz, we focus on body-safe materials you can feel good about using.

Look for:

• Silicone – Soft, smooth, non-porous, and easy to clean

• ABS plastic – Firm, durable, and non-porous

• Stainless steel or glass (for some toys) – Very hygienic and great for temperature play when used properly

Why non-porous matters: it doesn’t absorb fluids, which makes the toy more hygienic and longer-lasting.

We’re mindful about what we stock on Dreamtoyz.ca, so you don’t have to stress about checking every single ingredient or material. But it’s always a good idea to glance at the product description if you’re curious.

Step 4: Consider Power, Noise, and Controls

Beyond shape, there are a few practical details that can really affect your experience.

Power & Intensity

• Beginners often prefer medium to gentle vibrations

• More experienced users may enjoy deep, rumbly, or stronger settings

• Many toys offer multiple speeds and patterns so you can experiment

Noise Level

If you live with roommates, family, or thin walls, you might want a quieter toy. Product descriptions often mention if a vibrator is particularly whisper-quiet.

Controls & Ease of Use

• Some toys have one simple button—perfect for beginners

• Others have multiple buttons or even app control for more advanced play

• Think about whether you want something straightforward or something with lots of options

Step 5: Size, Shape, and Experience Level

Size is about comfort, not bravery.

• If you’re new to toys or internal play, start smaller. You can always upgrade later.

• For anal or prostate play, smaller and slimmer shapes are usually more comfortable when learning.

• For vaginal toys, pay attention to the insertable length and diameter listed on the product page.

It’s perfectly okay to choose modest sizes that feel unintimidating. Pleasure usually comes from comfort and relaxation, not from pushing your limits on day one.

Step 6: Don’t Forget Lube and Cleaning

A toy is only as good as the care you give it.

Lubricant

• Water-based lube is a safe, versatile option that works with most toys and condoms.

• Avoid using silicone lube with silicone toys, as it can damage the surface over time.

Lubrication makes everything feel smoother, more comfortable, and often much more pleasurable.

Cleaning

• Clean your toy before and after each use.

• Use warm water and mild, unscented soap, or a dedicated toy cleaner.

• Make sure the toy is dry before storing it.

At Dreamtoyz, we recommend treating toy care like brushing your teeth: simple, quick, and non-negotiable.

Step 7: Privacy, Discretion, and Feeling Safe

We know privacy matters—especially when you’re buying intimate products online.

When you order from Dreamtoyz.ca, you can expect:

• Discreet packaging – No loud logos or obvious branding on the outside of the parcel

• Respectful billing – Your purchase won’t announce itself on your bank statement

• A judgment-free environment where your curiosity is welcomed, not questioned

Your pleasure journey is personal. We’re here to support it, not to expose it.

Suggested “Starter Paths” to Help You Choose

Still not sure where to begin? Here are a few simple starting points based on common goals:

1. “I’m totally new and just curious.”

• A bullet vibrator

• A bottle of water-based lube

• A toy cleaner or mild soap routine

This combo lets you explore external pleasure gently, at your own pace.

2. “We’re a couple wanting to spice things up.”

• A vibrating ring or a couple’s vibrator

• A massage oil for sensual foreplay

These options enhance what you already enjoy together without drastically changing your usual routine.

3. “I want to explore internal pleasure.”

• For vaginal play: a slim G-spot or classic vibrator

• For anal/prostate play: a small anal plug or beginner prostate massager, plus lots of lube

Start with smaller sizes and listen to your body. Comfort and relaxation will lead to better pleasure than rushing into something too big or intense.
