BEST VIBRATORS
Women’s vibrators have come a long way. Gone are the days where you have to slip into a sketchy shop and exit with a suspicious-looking carry bag. Nor is your choice limited to clunky, bright pink rabbit vibrators and shiny plastic (read: intimidating) sticks. There are so many different types of vibrators to choose from now, each providing a unique sensation. Some of the most popular vibrators include rabbits, wands, bullets and suction.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A SEX TOY
It’s important the sex toy is suitable for use in the area you are buying it for (for example, clitoral, G-spot or anal stimulation) and you should read the product description carefully before purchasing.
Checking the sex toy is made from “body safe materials” like medical grade silicone and not anything potentially porous is also crucial, says sexologist and couples therapist Isiah McKimmie.
“One of the onsite important features to look for in a sex toy is that it’s made of body safe materials,” she explained.
“These toys are of higher quality, meaning they last longer and give you more bang for your buck.
“Using toys made of body safe materials also ensures that you don’t leech harmful plastic chemicals into your delicate parts.”
When choosing a sex toy to include in our list, we evaluated several factors:
Type: We included a variety of toys for internal and external play, solo or couple's use plus ones specifically for men.
Material: We favoured body-safe materials that are long-lasting, easy to clean and water resistant like medical grade silicone.
Experience level: Toys that are designed for beginners like rabbit and bullet vibrators right through to more experienced users with clitorial suction toys, G-spot exploration and anal play.
Recommendations: We based the toys included in this list on recommendations from our six sex experts on what to look for in the most popular sex toy categories.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT’S THE MOST POPULAR TYPE OF SEX TOY?
“The most popular sex toy in Australia right now are clitoral stimulators that have a sucking action (mimicking oral sex – yes please!) and couples toys like the We-Vibe which couples can use together,” says Isiah.
WHAT SHOULD I LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A VIBRATOR
“There are so many vibrators and sex toys available which is awesome news for pleasure-seekers, but can feel like an overwhelming task to figure out which toy is going to be best for your specific pleasure-needs,” Christine says.
These are the three things she says you need to consider:
What you know about your pleasure – this can guide you as to the type of stimulation and toy to invest in. If you love external stimulation then your choices include bullet and wand vibrators; if internal and G-spot stimulation is your go-to, then go for a dildo. If you love dual stimulation both externally and internally then a rabbit-style toy can provide this!
HOW TO PICK A SEX TOY FOR THE FIRST TIME
If it’s your first sex toy, Isiah recommends choosing something easy to use that can be incorporated into your existing sex life.
“A simple clitoral vibrator that can be used alone or with a partner is a great place to start when it comes to sex toys,” she said.
Chantelle recommends starting with some research around “what it is you really like and what you want from a toy”.
“My advice would be to start small and something that’s middle of the road price-wise, and when you know what you enjoy you can work your way up!” Chantelle tells news.com.au. “It’s also worth noting that some people need to try a toy a couple of times before they really get their groove.”
Similarly, Christine recommends “using what you already know about what feels the most pleasurable for you” when selecting your first toy”.
Eleanor agrees, recommending newbies “start your sex toy collection with something that compliments the way you already come”.
HOW TO MASTURBATE USING A SEX TOY FOR THE FIRST TIME
Self-pleasuring using a sex toy is wonderful, however it can also involve a fair bit of trial and error at first, Chantelle explains.
“Masturbating with a toy can open up new and exciting sensations that you never knew your body could have – you might love all of them, some of them or learn that there’s certain experiences that you don’t. And that’s okay!” she says.
Chantelle recommends taking steps to set the mood and get comfy before you start so you feel relaxed.
“Try a warm bath, lighting some candles and popping on a playlist that makes you feel great,” she said.
“Let your imagination lead the way and start off using your hands to build arousal.”
Once you’re ready, introduce your toy and “start slowly and take your time”, Chantelle advises.
“Play around with different techniques and speeds, or different levels of vibration if your toy vibrates,” she said.
Christine also encourages beginners to use “water-based lubricant with any and all vibrators and sex toys to maximise pleasure”.
HOW TO CLEAN SEX TOYS
Each toy will come with its own cleaning instructions so it’s important to check for your particular sex toy, but generally washing with regular hand soap or dishwashing liquid and then thoroughly rinsing with warm water should do the trick. It’s important to sanitise your toys before each use.
