Which sex toy is right for you? Sex toy test

Clitoral, couple, anal, vibrator sex toys: there are many types of sex toys to generate pleasure for women and couples. But the subject of sexuality and sex toys can be taboo, so it can be difficult to determine which sex toy is best for you. Not to mention that we are all different when it comes to sexuality and pleasure. Many of you ask us daily about the different sex toys and their specific features. That's why, as an e-concept store dedicated to female intimacy and particularly female pleasure, we decided to put together a comparison of the different sex toys available, as well as a sex toy test to help you choose yours.

Sex toy test: find the one that suits you!

Take our test to find out what type of sex toy and which sex toy is best suited to what you are currently looking for.

Clitoral sex toy

Clitoral sex toys are relatively new in that they're specifically for women: as their name suggests, their role is to stimulate the clitoris. There are different types: with and without contact. The advantage of exclusively clitoral sex toys is that they don't require penetration to reveal their full potential: if you suffer from vaginismus, this can be a nice way to reconnect with your sexual pleasure.

Vibrating clitoral stimulator

A vibrating clitoral stimulator is a sex toy that stimulates the clitoris through vibrations. It must be held in contact with the clitoris to be effective. It typically has multiple speeds and operates on batteries or an electric recharge.

🌈 Our favorite clitoral stimulator is the vibrating pebble from the My Lubie brand. Made of medical-grade silicone, it's incredibly soft: you'll love gently placing it against your intimate area to make it vibrate. This sex toy has the advantage of being waterproof, which allows you to use it in the shower or bath. We also like that it's silent and rechargeable.

Contactless clitoral vacuum

The clitoral vacuum, or air-pulsed clitoral sex toy, is a sex toy that propels air against the clitoris to arouse and stimulate it. This type of sex toy is called a womanizer because the brand was the first to offer this type of sex toy. Like the vibrating clitoral stimulator, it has multiple suction speeds. The particularity of this sex toy is that there is no contact between your penis and the sex toy, which may interest you if hygiene is important to you. (Note that you will still need to clean your sex toy after use.)

🌈 Our favorite air pulsating sex toy is, without hesitation, the Womanizer classic 2. Place the tip of this clitoral vacuum on the tip of your clitoris and let yourself go to the pleasure of the pulsating air: orgasm guaranteed! Made of medical-grade, waterproof silicone, it is perfectly suited for use in the shower or in your bath.

Vacuum and vibrating stimulator

Finally, there are clitoral sex toys that offer both pulsating air and vibration to stimulate the clitoris. These options can be activated simultaneously or separately, depending on the model. This type of sex toy, more complex and complete, will generally be more expensive, which is why we tend to recommend them to women who already have experience with sex toys because they know what they like. So, if you know you're sensitive to pulsating air and vibrations, don't hesitate to invest!

🌈 The clitoral sex toy that combines vibrations and pulsating air is the Sila, from the Lilo brand. Shaped like a colorful snail shell, this sex toy will bring you the joys of both pulsating air and vibrations, with more than 8 different programs. Place its mouth on your clitoris and let it work! Made of medical-grade silicone and waterproof, it can accompany you in the shower or in your bath. You will also appreciate that it is perfectly silent so you can better concentrate on your pleasure.

Penetrative sex toys, dildos

Penetrative sex toys are older in that they are much closer to traditional sexuality, where male sex and penetration are at the heart of female sexuality. Generally, they are recommended for women who enjoy penetration and have vaginal orgasms, but more and more sex toys offer dual stimulation (clitoral and internal). Requiring insertion into the vagina or anus, penetrative sex toys must most often be used with a lubricant.

💡 Did you know? The best lubricant to use with penetrative sex toys is water-based lubricant. Indeed, oil-based lubricants tend to damage medical silicone sex toys (they make them porous). If you're looking for a water-based lubricant to use with your sex toys, we recommend the My Lubie brand: the natural intimate lubricant. 99% natural 🌱, made in France 🇫🇷 and vegan 🐰, it will make the experience even more enjoyable.

Dildo

A dildo is a phallic-shaped sex toy designed for penetration. It can be very similar to a male penis or, on the contrary, quite different. Dildos come in a wide variety of sizes. The simplest dildos are manually "activated," but there are also suction-cup dildos that allow you to attach them wherever you want.

🔥 Although very simple, the dildo can turn out to be a rather impressive sex toy due to its appearance, size and use.

🌈 At the time of this article's publication, Gapianne hasn't found the perfect dildo to offer you. We're always on the lookout for new brands and beautiful products.

Vibrator

A vibrator is the evolved version of a dildo, as it's a vibrating dildo. Like a dildo, it can be shaped like a male penis or appear much more abstract. It has multiple speeds, which can be activated manually, and operates on batteries or a rechargeable battery. Discover all the best vibrator brands in our article!

🌈 At Gapianne, we love The Billionnaire vibrator, perfect as a sex toy for beginners , from the Smile makers brand. This vibrator has several speeds and can therefore be used externally, placed against the clitoris to increase excitement, or internally. Its relatively slim size allows for easy vaginal insertion, while its conical shape will promote vaginal pleasure. Waterproof and made of medical silicone, it is also perfect in the shower and bath.

🌈 If The millionaire is the perfect vibrator for beginners, the Tennis pro , from the same brand, Smile makers, will be more suitable for people who already know their bodies a little more. Indeed, as its name suggests, the Tennis pro is a vibrator topped with a ball that will allow it to stimulate the vagina more effectively. The front wall of the vagina is indeed, in many women, more sensitive and this specific shape will allow you to reach and caress it from the inside. Like The millionaire, the Tennis pro is waterproof and made of medical silicone: you can use it in the shower and in your bath for maximum relaxation.

Dual stimulation sex toy (internal, external)

As its name suggests, the dual stimulation sex toy offers dual stimulation, both internal, with penetration, and external, with clitoral stimulation. It is inspired by the Rabbit (rabbit 🐰 in English), a sex toy with two ears. These stimulations can be done manually (rubbing, manual back and forth) or technically (pulsed air stimulation, vibrations, etc.). In order not to limit your pleasure, most dual stimulation sex toys allow you to decide on their shape (more or less curved, more or less spread): you can thus manipulate them according to your desires.

We have two favorites among dual stimulation sex toys.

🌈 The first is the Coco from the Puissante brand because, flexible, it can be bent and curved according to your desires in order to reach and stimulate all parts of your intimacy. Clitoral stimulation, vaginal penetration or anal penetration: it's up to you. Its volatility is truly its particularity and it makes it quite accessible even if you are not used to this type of sex toy. Equipped with two independent motors that animate each of its ends, you can adjust it at will. Waterproof and made of medical silicone, you can use it in the shower and in your bath.

🌈 The second one is aptly named Chouchou. Designed by the same French brand, Chouchou by Puissante is a dual-stimulation sex toy that will stimulate both your clitoris and your vagina while penetrating it. Equipped with two independent motors, you can choose the vibrations that you like. It may seem impressive to use due to its shape, and we don't necessarily recommend it for beginners. Waterproof and made of medical-grade silicone, you can use it in the shower and in your bath.

Anal plug

An anal plug is a conical dildo specifically designed for anal penetration. Since the anus doesn't have natural lubrication, unlike the vagina, it's highly recommended to use a lubricant for anal penetration.

🌈 At Gapianne, our favorite anal plug is the discreet plug from the American brand Maud . Conically shaped and very soft thanks to its medical silicone texture, it will allow you to gently discover anal pleasure. You can use it in the shower and in your bath.

Couple's sex toy

A couple's sex toy is a sex toy that has been developed specifically for use by couples. There are different types: vibrating rings, remote-controlled sex toys, etc.

Vibrating ring

A vibrating ring is a sex toy that is shaped like a ring and is designed to be worn around your partner's penis. Once activated, the ring's vibration will be both pleasant for him and pleasant for you during penetration (the ring will actually stimulate your clitoris). Like all vibrating sex toys, the vibrating ring generally has several vibration speeds and is battery-operated or rechargeable.

🌈 Our favorite vibrating ring is the Lelo Tor 2 Vibrating Ring for Couples . It fits over your partner's penis and has multiple vibration speeds. It's easy to use, and you'd almost forget it was there if it didn't give you so much pleasure! It runs on a rechargeable battery 🔋.

Remote controlled sex toy

A remote-controlled sex toy is one that can be activated remotely. The goal? Insert the sex toy into your vagina and let your partner activate it whenever they want for surprising moments of excitement. And it's totally possible to switch roles and stimulate your partner remotely if you enjoy the game. In this case, it's customary, particularly for hygiene reasons but also for size reasons, for each partner to have their own sex toy.

🌈 Our favorite remote-controlled sex toy for couples is the Tiani 3 from Lelo . A dual-intensity sex toy, it can be folded to stimulate the clitoris, vagina, or anal area. Once inserted, it can be remote-controlled from up to 12 meters away for fun scenarios or used to enhance the pleasure of both partners during a moment together. It has a battery life of two hours. Waterproof and made of medical-grade silicone, you can use it in the shower and in your bath.

This can even help them discover your sensitive spots and expand your sexuality together.
