  • Identify Your Interests: Are you looking for clitoral stimulation, G-spot exploration, or perhaps a versatile toy that offers multiple functions?

  • Consider Your Sensitivity: If you’re sensitive, you might prefer a softer, more flexible toy. For those who enjoy more intense sensations, firmer options might be better.

  • Is it better to start small?: yes and no but you don't want it to be too small or too big. Too small ,may not get the job done and too big may be too daunting.
