Browse any adult store and the choices can feel endless: wands, bullets, rabbits, tapping stimulators, beaded vibrators, plugs. The names don’t tell you what each one actually does, and the wrong pick can feel like money wasted.
The good news is that choosing gets much easier once you know what kind of sensation you want. Toys fall into a handful of families, and each family suits a different kind of pleasure.
This guide covers sex toys for women (and anyone with a vulva) in plain terms: the main types, how to choose, and a curated set of toys available at Aphrodite Adult Toys, with a shop link for each.
Key takeaways
Most people with a vulva need clitoral stimulation to orgasm, so external toys are a good starting point.
Internal and G-spot toys work best alongside external stimulation, not instead of it.
Dual-action toys combine both, which many people find the most reliable.
Choose body-safe materials, water-based lube and a toy you can clean easily.
Start on a low setting, go slowly and let your preferences guide the next purchase.
The main types are external (clitoral) stimulators, internal (G-spot) vibrators, dual-action toys, wands, and anal toys or plugs. Each targets a different kind of sensation.
External or clitoral toys: stimulate the clitoris and surrounding area. Includes bullets, tapping stimulators and wands.
Internal or G-spot toys: curved or shaped to press the front wall of the vagina.
Dual-action toys: combine internal and external stimulation in one toy.
Wands: larger vibrators with broad, powerful, rumbly vibration, often used externally.
Anal toys and plugs: designed for anal play, with a flared base for safety.
These products suit anyone with a vulva or vagina, regardless of gender identity. Many are also used with partners.
Research suggests most women need clitoral stimulation to orgasm during intercourse, and only a minority reach orgasm from penetration alone. That’s why external and dual-action toys are popular.
A nationally representative US survey of women aged 18 to 94 found that about 37% needed clitoral stimulation to orgasm during intercourse, while about 18% said penetration alone was enough. The same study found that many women prefer one specific style of touch, which is why preferences vary so much and why trying different toy types is worthwhile.
Choose by deciding what sensation you want, how you want to use it, what features matter, and what fits your comfort level. If you’re new, start with something simple and adjustable.
Surface or external: a clitoral stimulator, tapping toy or wand.
Internal pressure: a curved G-spot vibrator.
Both at once: a dual-action toy.
Motion: thrusting, tapping or moving beads rather than just vibration.
Anal exploration: a vibrating plug with a flared base.
Most toys work for both. Slim, wand-shaped toys are easy to share, and remote-friendly or compact toys suit foreplay.
Material: body-safe silicone is the standard.
Power: rechargeable is convenient and cost-effective.
Settings: adjustable intensity matters more than the number of modes.
Waterproofing: makes cleaning easier and allows bath or shower use.
Noise level: matters if you value discretion.
Beginners usually do best with a simple, adjustable toy. Experienced users may want more complex motions such as thrusting or tapping.
The table below summarizes each toy’s type and best use. Details and shop links follow in the next section.
These toys are all available at Aphrodite Adult Toys. Each covers a different type of pleasure, so you can match the toy to your preferences.

Wash the toy, use plenty of water-based lube, start on the lowest setting and go slowly. Begin externally, then add internal play once you’re aroused.
Clean the toy with mild soap and warm water, or a toy cleaner.
Get comfortable. Relaxation helps everything.
Add water-based lube to the toy and yourself.
Start external, with the toy resting around the clitoris, on a low setting.
Increase gradually, adjusting pressure and setting.
Go internal only when you’re aroused and comfortable, moving slowly.
Clean and dry the toy afterward and store it separately.
For internal toys, the G-spot is typically on the front wall of the vagina, a little way inside the opening. It’s often easier to find once you’re aroused.
Choose body-safe silicone, use water-based lube with silicone toys, and clean every toy before and after use. Never use a toy with cracks or damage.
Medical-grade silicone: non-porous, smooth and easy to clean.
ABS plastic: common for handles and bases.
Avoid porous or unknown materials.
Water-based lube works with all materials and washes off easily.
Silicone-based lube can degrade silicone toys.
Choose toys with a flared base for any anal use.
Start slowly, and stop if anything hurts.
Don’t share toys without a fresh condom or thorough cleaning.
Charge toys fully before use, following manufacturer instructions.
Wash with mild soap and warm water.
Dry fully before storing.
Keep silicone toys separate, so they don’t touch and degrade.
The right toy depends on what you want: a first purchase, partner play or something new.
“I’ve never used a toy.” Start with a slim, adjustable vibrator such as the Vush Myth, used externally first.
“I want to try something different from buzzing.” Consider a tapping stimulator or moving-bead toy.
“I want internal and external at once.” A dual-action toy such as the Vive Andria fits.
“I want strong, broad vibration.” A wand is the classic choice.
“I’m curious about anal play.” A vibe plug with a flared base and plenty of lube is a sensible start.
Starting on high. Begin low and build.
Skipping lube. Comfort matters.
Using the wrong lube. Silicone lube can damage silicone toys.
Ignoring cleaning. Always wash before and after.
Going straight to internal. Arousal helps comfort.
Buying on looks alone. Match the toy to the sensation you want.
A slim, adjustable, body-safe vibrator is a good starting point, especially one that works both internally and externally. Start on a low setting and use plenty of water-based lube.
Yes, it’s strongly recommended. Lube reduces friction and increases comfort, and water-based lube is safe with all common toy materials.
Wash it with mild soap and warm water or a toy cleaner, then dry it fully. Check the waterproof rating before submerging any electronic toy.
Yes. Many toys work well for foreplay or alongside partnered sex. Agree on pace and boundaries together, and use a fresh condom if sharing a toy.
They’re safe when made from body-safe materials, used with suitable lube, cleaned properly and used within the manufacturer’s guidance. Stop if anything hurts, and speak to a healthcare provider about any concerns.
