Sex toys aren’t one size fits all, but there is toy for everyone.
Human sexuality is something that’s forever evolving within us, so experimentation and exploration are paramount. What we may have liked at 25, might no longer do it for us by the time we’re 30. That’s why it’s important to create new toys so you can cater to people’s individual needs. Additionally, because sexual wellness is so important to me, all the COTR sites include blogs so people, whether they’re new to sex toys or seasoned aficionados, can learn something new.
Get started with Le Wand
Wands: Le Wand has so many wands to choose from, but for people who are new to the wand, I’d recommend Le Wand Petite Rechargeable Massager. Whether you’re masturbating solo or with a partner, if you’re not used to toys, one that’s small in stature but still delivers the same power as you’ll find in larger wands, this is a great vibrator to start your collection.
Mini Vibes: Still keeping it on the small side, are the Mini Vibes. All of them fit in the palm of your hand, making them comfortable to use. I like to recommend Le Wand Point. Its shape allows for all-over vulva stimulation, as well as direct clitoral stimulation.
Internal Vibes: For those who are ready to try internal vibes, Le Wand Blend is a great place to start. The shape is ideal for those looking to explore their G-spot while also stimulating the clitoris at the same time — getting you one step closer to the blended orgasm.
Stainless Steel and Crystals: Stepping away from vibrators for the moment, Le Wand has a Stainless Steel and Crystal Collection. Le Wand Bow and Le Wand Crystal G Wand are both non-vibrating toys that put the emphasis on the G-spot. Both have weight to them that enhances the experience even more.
Get started with b-Vibe
We haven’t just created a line of toys, of all shapes and sizes, but we’ve really gone above and beyond in educating those who are both new to anal play or have been on the anal bandwagon for years. For example, both Butt Stuff Basics and Plug Podcast really delve into the topic of all things anal, from anal training, to prostate stimulation, anal orgasms, analingus, and of course, the importance of using lube.
Weighted Plugs/Snug Plugs: I like to suggest Snug Plugs and starting with size one or two out of the five sizes we have, for those who are new to anal play. The Vibrating Snug Plugs have the ideal shape to penetration that makes anal play pleasurable for those with vulvas or those with prostates.
Rimming Plugs: Interested in analingus? Our Rimming Plugs are a good way to prepare for that sensation. Rimming Plug 2 not only vibrates but has rotating beads at the base to simulate analingus. There’s no other line of toys that gets that close to the real deal.
Textured/Jeweled Plugs: Rounding out our collection of plugs, we have standard vibrating plugs, Textured Plugs, and the Jeweled line. While I’d say textured plugs, like the Twist Textured Plug, for example, is wonderful and something to work up to, the Novice Plug, true to its name, is perfect for beginners.
For those who like glamour with their anal play, we created Vibrating Jewel Plugs. From small to XXL, these don’t just feel good, but look good. The small/medium Vibrating Jewel Plug is only 3.85 inches in length with a diameter that’s only 1.45 inches.
Sensual Care: To really get the most out of your anal play experience, it’s important to use lube and keep your toys clean, that’s why we created our Sensual Care line. When it comes to lubes, especially if you’re still in the anal training mode, b-Vibe Warming Sensation Lube provides a nice, comforting sensation. As for keeping your toys clean, I love b-Vibe Organic Toy Cleaner It gets the job done but doesn’t use any chemicals that can irritate sensitive bodies.
Get started with The Cowgirl
Our award-winning premium sex machine, The Cowgirl, is in a class all its own. While it’s not the first sex machine, it’s the most decadent and luxurious — we didn’t skimp on the aesthetics at all! It’s also so powerful that riding it induces full body pleasure once you get on The Cowgirl and pick up that remote control.
Book Resources
When it comes to a book about masturbation, I’m a fan of Playing Without a Partner: A Singles’ Guide to Sex, Dating, and Happiness by Dr. Megan Stubbs. Stubbs really highlights the importance of solo exploration as means to not only know your body better but having better partnered sex too.
Another book I like a lot is The Sex & Pleasure Book: Good Vibrations Guide to Great Sex for Everyone by Dr. Carol Queen. Queen is a legend in this industry when it comes to sex education and her outspokenness about all things sex-related, contributing her expertise the Bend Over Boyfriend series that destigmatizes anal sex and pegging.
