Sex Toys for Women: from Rabbit Vibrators to Suction Devices

BY: Editors |Apr 11, 2019

Think sex toys for women were born out of the women's lib movement? Think again. Archaeologists have uncovered some suspected early models that date back to the Paleolithic era. And while their makers didn't leave behind a user's guide, we have a few guesses of what some of those phallic fossils were for.

Yet the long history of sex toys doesn't make walking into an adult store for the first time any less intimidating. Fortunately, there's a wealth of options available online, including plenty of women's toys (and couples toys) tucked away on Goods. We're here to shed light on a few of our most popular sex toys for women and how to use them, whether you're exploring alone or experimenting with a partner.

Vibrator

If there's one toy you should have in your nightstand, it's a vibrator. They come in all shapes and sizes and can pack tons of different features, so you should be able to find one that you, ahem, vibe with.

Get to Know: Rabbit Vibrators

Many agree that a rabbit vibrator is the best vibrator for women. That's because most rabbits feature a shaft for penetration and a protruding arm for clitoral stimulation (the arm is often shaped like a bunny, hence the name). Simultaneous penetration and clitoral stimulation are necessary for many women to orgasm.

Shop

Rabbit vibrators (from $9.99); g-spot vibrators (from $5.88); couples vibrators (from $7.99); magic wands (from $13.99)

Dildos and Dongs

If you're interested in penetration, dildos and dongs are ideal beginner toys because their phallic shapes come in an array of sizes and their movement is controlled entirely by you or your partner, instead of a motor. You can also choose between a soft, silicone toy and a hard, completely smooth toy made of glass or steel. To keep things comfortable, don't forget the lubricant.

Get to Know: Strap-Ons

Strap-ons come with two pieces, the dildo and the harness. The dildo fits into a hole in the front of the harness, which one partner wears around their hips. Strap-ons are used for penetrative sex, both vaginal and anal.

Shop

Dildos (from $9.93); dongs (from $9.99); strap-ons (from $12.99)

Clitoral Suction Devices

Clitoral suction devices fit snugly around your clitoris and then use waves of suction to induce orgasms. Fans liken it to oral sex. Most devices are rechargeable, which makes them perfect for use away from a wall socket.

Get to Know: Lipstick Clitoral Stimulator

These small sex toys for women are shaped like tubes of lipstick for the utmost discretion. A popular option is the Womanizer 2GO clit stimulator because it is waterproof, has six speeds, and doesn't require batteries.

Shop

Clitoral suction devices (from $29.99)

Anal Toys

Anal sex can be a healthy addition to any sex life, but there are plenty of other ways to explore the area besides just traditional penetration. That's where anal toys come in. Anal toys are specifically made to go into the anus and have flared bases or loops at the end to prevent them from getting stuck.

Get to Know: Anal Beads

These toys feature balls of varying sizes on a long string. You insert the beads into the anus to stimulate it, starting with the smaller beads and working your way up to the larger ones. Anal beads are typically made of hygienic rubber or silicone, and they feature a loop/handle for safe, easy extraction.

Shop

Anal beads (from $5.99); anal plugs (from $6.99); anal dildos (from $9.99)

Kegel Balls (AKA Ben Wa Balls)

Kegel balls, also known as ben wa balls slip inside the vagina, where they are held in place by a bit of flexing—a motion that can massage the G-spot. An attached cord typically allows for added stimulation and easy retrieval. These weighted balls also have benefits beyond the bedroom to help strengthen the pelvic-floor muscles, which may help with urinary incontinence, aid recovery after childbirth, and help you achieve stronger orgasms over time.

Important note: Kegel balls should never be used anally.
