What You Need to Know About Materials
Silicone, stainless steel and glass are non-porous materials, which are easier to clean and less likely to harbour bacteria than porous ones (Suffolk Sexual Health Service). There is no sex-toy-specific standard behind terms such as “body-safe” or “medical-grade”: a 2025 BSI proposal for a new international standard notes that there are currently no international standards or regulations specifically for these products (BSI), so check the maker’s stated materials and instructions.
- Silicone: non-porous and generally easier to clean than porous materials.
- Stainless steel and glass: non-porous and easy to clean. Check for scratches, cracks or chips before each use.
⚠️ Take care with: jelly rubber and other porous materials. Porous toys can retain bacteria even after cleaning, so it is best to use them with a condom and not to share them (Suffolk Sexual Health Service).
Features That Matter
Noise, charging and water resistance vary between products, so check the maker’s figures:
- Noise level: some makers publish a decibel (dB) figure. Treat “whisper-quiet” claims with caution unless a figure is given.
- Power: rechargeable toys save you buying batteries. Follow the maker’s charging instructions, and do not use a toy while it is charging if the maker says not to.
- Water resistance: IPX7 means a laboratory test in water up to 1 metre deep for 30 minutes, and IPX8 means whatever conditions the maker specifies (Applus+ Keystone test laboratory). Many toys are only splashproof, so follow the maker’s instructions before using a toy in the bath or shower.
How to Choose the Right Toy for You
Follow this checklist to find the right starting point:
First-time buyer?
Start simple: a bullet vibrator or a small silicone toy, budgeting around £15–£30. Once you know what you like, you can move on.
Know your preferences? Choose your focus: clitoral, internal, or blended stimulation. A higher price does not always mean better quality, so check the materials and the maker’s instructions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Choosing size over comfort: A huge toy sounds impressive but can feel uncomfortable. Bigger isn't better; better is better.
- Overlooking materials: jelly rubber and other porous materials can retain bacteria even after cleaning. Silicone, steel and glass are non-porous and easier to clean.
- Starting with an intense toy: A high-powered rabbit on its highest setting might overwhelm if you're new to toys. Start gentle.
Getting the Most From Your Toy
Before use: Read the maker’s instructions, then wash with warm water and mild, unscented soap or a toy cleaner, and dry thoroughly (SH:24).
First time: Take your time, start on the lowest setting, and explore what feels good without expectations.
Lubrication: Water-based lubricant is the safest choice for most toys, but always follow the maker’s instructions: LELO, Svakom and We-Vibe all say to use only water-based lubricant with their toys, and silicone lubricant can damage some silicone toys (Suffolk Sexual Health Service). Oil-based lubricant should not be used with latex condoms (NHS).
After use: Wash again with warm water and mild soap. Store somewhere cool, dry, and private.
Sharing and safety: Infections can be passed on through sex toys. The NHS advises not sharing them, or washing them and covering them with a new condom before anyone else uses them (NHS; Brook). Stop using a toy if it hurts or irritates, as the makers’ instructions advise.
Best Sex Toys for Women FAQs
Is it normal to feel nervous about buying a sex toy?
Completely normal. Sexual pleasure is personal. Our orders are sent in plain packaging; see our delivery page for details.
What if I don't know my preferences yet?
Start with a simple, affordable bullet or small silicone toy under £30 and explore from there.
Is body-safe really that important?
Materials matter: porous materials can retain bacteria even after cleaning, so non-porous materials such as silicone, steel and glass are easier to keep clean. “Body-safe” is not a regulated term for sex toys, so check the maker’s stated materials.
Can I use regular lube with silicone toys?
Silicone lube can damage some silicone toys, and makers such as LELO, Svakom and We-Vibe say to use only water-based lubricant, so follow your toy’s instructions.
