Sex Toys Shopping Guide

Sex toys can make pleasure and intimacy feel more personal by giving you more ways to explore the sensations, products and experiences that fit your body. Some shoppers want a simple first toy. Others want stronger stimulation, more fullness, better partner play, supportive self-care products or a more specialized experience.

This guide connects the major Her Vibrators retail departments so you can begin with the kind of experience you want rather than sorting through every product at once. Compare vibrators, dildos, lubricants, accessories, intimate self-care, Kegel products, sexy clothing and educational books before choosing the shopping path that makes the most sense for you.

Where Should You Start When Shopping for Sex Toys?

Begin by identifying what you want the product to add to the experience. You may want external stimulation, internal fullness, blended pleasure, anal play, stronger partner connection, intimate self-care or something that makes exploration feel more playful and approachable.

You do not need to understand every product category before shopping. Start with the outcome you want and use the main departments below to narrow the collection.

• For powered stimulation: Browse Vibrators.

• For intimate-care products: Browse Self Care.
• For pelvic-floor routines: Browse Kegel Exercises.

Explore the Main Retail Departments

Vibrators

Vibrators use powered movement, pulsing or vibration to provide external, internal or blended stimulation. The department includes clitoral vibrators, G-spot toys, rabbits, wands, air-pressure designs, app-controlled toys, wearables, anal vibrators and partner-focused products.

Choose this department when stimulation style, intensity, controls or powered sensation matters more than insertable shape alone.

Dildos

Dildos place more emphasis on shape, size, angle, texture, fullness and intended use. Available styles may include realistic, silicone, strap-on, anal, double-ended, vibrating and specialty designs.

Choose this department when penetration, fit, pressure, harness compatibility or a specific insertable shape is the primary goal.

Sex Lube

Sex Lube can help reduce unwanted friction and make many forms of solo or partner play feel smoother. The best formula depends on the intended activity, personal preferences and the materials used in any accompanying toy.

Compare water-based, silicone-based, flavored, vegan, plant-based, organic and anal-lube departments. Always review the product directions and toy-care instructions before combining a lubricant with a particular sex toy.

Sex Toy Accessories

Sex Toy Accessories help support how intimate products are used, stored and maintained. Depending on the product, this department may include cleaners, storage solutions, attachments, harness-related accessories and other tools designed to make ownership easier.

Check compatibility carefully before purchasing an attachment or accessory for a specific toy.

Self Care

Self Care brings together products centered on intimate comfort, personal routines and sexual wellness. This department can help shoppers compare items such as intimate cleansers, moisturizers, menstrual-care products and other body-focused essentials.

Kegel Exercises

Kegel Exercises includes products created for pelvic-floor-focused routines. Depending on the design, shoppers may find Kegel balls, resistance devices, vibrating tools and non-vibrating exercise products.

Review the individual product’s purpose, instructions and recommended use. Products sold for pelvic-floor routines should not be treated as substitutes for individualized medical care.

Sexy Clothes

Sexy Clothes can add visual expression, confidence, role-play possibilities or a more intentional atmosphere to intimate moments. Browse lingerie, costumes, masks, accessories and other styles according to the mood and fit you want.

Sex Books

Sex Books can add education, inspiration and conversation to the broader shopping experience. The collection may include instructional books, relationship topics, sexual-health education, positions, massage, LGBTQ subjects, erotica, games and specialty interests.

Should You Choose a Vibrator or a Dildo?

The clearest distinction is that vibrators emphasize powered sensation, while dildos emphasize shape, fullness and manual movement. The categories can overlap because some insertable toys also vibrate.

Choose a Vibrator When:

• You want clitoral or other focused external stimulation.
• You want adjustable speeds, patterns or powered movement.
• You are interested in wand, rabbit, wearable or air-pressure designs.
• You want app, remote or partner-controlled options.
• You want internal and external stimulation from one product.

Choose a Dildo When:

• Insertable shape and size are your primary concerns.
• You want more control over movement, angle or pace.
• You are shopping for strap-on or harness-compatible play.
• You want a realistic, fantasy, double-ended or specialty shape.
• You want a non-powered insertable option.

When both features matter, compare vibrating dildos or dual-stimulation products that combine insertable design with powered sensation.

Why Do Lube and Sex Toy Accessories Matter?

A sex toy is often only one part of the purchase. Lubricant, cleaning products, storage and compatible accessories can affect how comfortable and practical the product feels in everyday use.

Sex Lube supports glide, while Sex Toy Accessories can help with care, organization, compatibility and customization.

Before purchasing, check:

• Whether the lubricant is compatible with the toy’s material.
• The manufacturer’s cleaning instructions.
• Whether a storage pouch or separate container is recommended.
• Whether an attachment fits the exact model you own.
• Whether the product requires batteries, charging cables or replacement parts.

How Do Self-Care and Kegel Products Fit In?

Intimate shopping does not have to center only on stimulation. Many people also want products that support comfort, personal care, menstrual routines or body awareness.

The broader Self Care department provides a starting point for intimate-care products. The Kegel Exercises department offers a more specific path for pelvic-floor-focused products.

Select these products according to their stated purpose and instructions. Stop using any intimate product that causes pain, irritation or discomfort.

What Can Sexy Clothes and Sex Books Add?

Pleasure shopping can involve more than physical stimulation. Clothing, reading and educational products can influence mood, confidence, curiosity and communication.

Sexy Clothes can support lingerie styling, role play, costumes and expressive presentation. Sex Books can provide new ideas, educational context, erotic reading or conversation starters.

These departments can be especially useful when the experience you want is broader than choosing a single toy.

How Can Sex Toys Support Solo and Partner Play?

Solo Exploration

Sex toys can help people learn which forms of pressure, movement, stimulation and pacing they prefer. That knowledge can make future shopping more intentional and reduce the pressure to guess what should feel good.

Partnered Intimacy

For partners, sex toys can add shared control, variety, teasing or another way to communicate preferences. Remote, app-controlled, wearable and couple-focused products can be especially useful when shared play is the main goal.

No product fits every relationship or activity. Choose according to mutual comfort, communication and consent rather than assuming a particular toy must be used in one specific way.

How Do You Choose the Right Sex Toy?

Fit matters more than popularity. A highly reviewed or expensive toy can still be a poor match when its stimulation style, dimensions or controls do not fit the person using it.

• Start with the goal: Decide whether you want external stimulation, penetration, blended sensation, anal play, partner use or intimate care.
• Review dimensions: Check insertable length, width, circumference and overall size.
• Check materials: Read the individual product listing rather than relying on assumptions about an entire category.
• Compare controls: Consider buttons, remotes, apps, separate motors and customizable patterns.
• Consider power: Decide whether you want batteries, rechargeable power or a corded design.
• Check water resistance: Waterproof, splashproof and non-water-resistant products require different care.
• Plan for cleaning and storage: Review the manufacturer’s instructions before use.
• Choose for real life: Consider privacy, travel, noise, charging and where the product will be stored.

Why Shop for Sex Toys Online?

Online shopping gives people more privacy, more time and a wider range of products to compare. Instead of making a rushed decision, shoppers can review product measurements, materials, features, care instructions and related departments at their own pace.

It also becomes easier to compare a vibrator with a dildo, add the right lubricant, find a compatible accessory or explore broader departments such as self care, sexy clothing and books without starting over.

Use product descriptions and specifications as decision tools. Do not assume that every product in the same category has the same materials, waterproof rating, intensity, charging system or care requirements.
