The best way to buy sex toys

Is it your first time babe?

It's okay, I'll be gentle...

You've been thinking about coming to an adult store and it has you feeling funny things. That's okay. In fact, it's incredibly normal to feel excited, nervous, or even embarrassed.

These tips from Funtasia's resident Sexpert staff will boost your confidence and help your first time go smoothly.

What are you looking for?

I'm going to ask you a question that some people find hard to answer: How do you like to get off?

How do you wank? What sensations are important for your orgasm? Do you need direct clit stimulation? Do you enjoy your nipples being stimulated? Do you get excited easily and want to slow your roll? Are you shopping for yourself or for a lover?

When you have a bit of an idea of what you're looking for - even if it's a feeling instead of a specific product - it's much more likely that you'll be able to find it.

In-Person or Online?

Online shopping puts a world of potential pleasure within at your fingertips, but it is a real challenge to know what you're getting - and sex toys are a Very Intimate Purchase!

Whenever you have the chance - and especially when you're thinking of buying something new - it is easier (and more fun!) to visit an adult store in-person. You'll have a chance to see the products in real life, and the best sex shops have testers of their products available so you can see for yourself if the vibe's right.

Seriously though, choosing a toy is super personal. Being able to see how it feels in your hand and being able to ask the staff all of your questions helps you be more comfortable and more confident in your decision.

Don't get us wrong, we love online shopping! Buying from a website is perfect when you're buying a product or a brand you already know, or restocking a favourite product (lube bulk-buys amiright?)

Be curious!

I know, I know. I just told you to know what you want. But hear me out...

Once you have an idea about what you need (what types of sensations and stimulation feels good for you!) it's time to get curious about what can help create or elevate those goooooood feelings!

This is the perfect opportunity to try different lubes (ask us about samples in store), explore sensation oils and gels, check out nipple stimulation, play with blindfolds, and more!

The best way to explore is to add one new thing to something that you already enjoy.
