Marital aids have been around in one form or another for many years but they are becoming more popular than ever in advanced day society. Frequently referred to as marital aids, sex toys facilitate sexual pleasure for couples or for solo use. A recent study of the Temptations Direct sex shop purchaser figures illustrates that the number of men and women purchasing marital aids is a fairly even split with 52% of women and 48% of men being buyers. If you are just starting out with sex toys and want to try them out for the first time to heighten your sexual satisfaction and spice up your bedroom activities but are unsure what sort of toy to buy, this guide could help you to make a decision.

What type of adult toy is the best to start off with?

Which adult toys to begin with is one of the first things to consider when thinking about the potential purchase of sex toys? Sex toys come in many different guises: dildos, cock rings, anal adult toys, penis pumps, clitoral pumps , sex dolls, strap ons and vibrators to name but a few. If you want to experience a penetrative adult toy for the first time it is a good idea to try something that has some degree of flexibility such as a jelly toy. Non penetrative marital aids such as penis rings that are made of silicon or rubber have some give in them and can help to prolong an erection which is fuller and firmer that can lead to increased sexual satisfaction for both parties. These cock rings have far more flexibility than hard-and-fast metal cock rings, which force considerable limitation to the wearer.

Size and cost matters

Other important factors to think about are size and cost. Start small and work up to bigger sex toys when you have more experience. Mini vibrators deliver a fantastic experience but are small enough to be transported just about anyplace. You also do not want to spend a considerable amount on your first purchase if you are unsure whether you will enjoy the experience of a marital aid. Small vibrators start from as low as £4, jelly dildos are anything from £10 and cock rings retail from as little as £2 and thus do not result in a considerable outgoing.

Use sex lubricants

If you are a beginner to penetrative sex toys it is eternally advisable to use a sexual lubricant. This is specially important in the use of anal adult toys  as neither the anus nor the rectum naturally sustain their own lubrication so it is imperative that anal lubrication is used for more fun and comfortable anal sex toy pursuits. Moreover, some anal gels and sprays are specifically designed to condition the tissues surrounding the anus and relax the anal muscles, therefore making penetration considerably easier. Anal finger stimulators are ideal for beginners to anal play as not only are they small and inexpensive but they are often made of soft silicone making penetration far more enjoyable.

Sex toy cleaner

On purchasing your marital aid you should also consider buying a sex toy cleaner. Cheap to buy, this additional item should be utilised straight away after sex toy use to keep it clean. Safe, effective and ant-bacterial, adult toy cleaners help to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria and help to keep your sex toy last for longer.
