More often than not, we’re given the freedom of choice – a seemingly endless amount of choice, to be honest.
But not all things are created equal. And while making choices can be difficult for some, we’ve made the process of discovering your next sex toy pretty simple. We’ll first go over our most popular and diverse array of toys and then we’ll get into the history of them. Ready? Let’s have fun…
What is a Sex Toy?
A sex toy is an object or device that’s used to gain sexual pleasure.
There are many different kinds of sex toys, some resembling male or female genitalia, some electronic with the ability to vibrate, some for insertion, some for stimulation, a few that can be used as props in the bedroom, and so on and so forth.
Now let’s get into the bread and butter of what probably led you here today…
Different Kinds of Sex Toys
Whichever brand of sex toy or sex shop you prefer, these delicious items are driven by human sexuality, and they’re made with an important thing in mind: to get you off!
So, the more you know, the easier it’ll be to choose a sex toy for him, her, or both, that suits your needs, and gives you the most pleasure. Find your muse…
Sex Toys for Women
SONA 2 and SONA 2 Cruise
The SONA 2 and SONA 2 Cruise are similar in nature in that they both stimulate 75% more of the clitoris. They use sonic waves and pulses instead of vibrations, have twelve (4 more than the first generation!) different settings, and are fully waterproof and bathtub-friendly.
What’s the difference between the SONAs and the SONA Cruises? Well, the SONA Cruises have something called the Cruise Control technology that reserves 20% of their full power during normal use. That means that, when the power drops, you’ll have an extra 20% unleashed as not to compromise its power and intensity when pressed against your body during climax.
SORAYA
For the girl who wants it all, the SORAYA gives one pleasure on the inside and out – that is, clitoral and G-spot stimulation at the same time. It’s the rabbit vibrator, redefined.
GIGI 2
This is for women who want to stimulate their G-spot. It’s a curved device with a flattened tip, making it an easy-to-reach sex toy with near-silent vibrations. But there’s more to the GIGI 2 than what meets the eye! This nifty device doubles up as a clitoral stimulator when flipped. Yay for double fun!
INA Wave
This contraption uses simultaneous vibration to give one a blended climax. The INA Wave rabbit vibrator mimics the ‘come-hither’ motion, massaging the G-spot with powerful vibrations. Who needs fingers when you have this little number?

History of The Sex Toy
How did we wind up here, with an array of delectable sex toys and erotically-charged items up for grabs? Well, it wasn’t always so.
Here’s a not-so-boring timeline on the history of the sex toy.
Siltstone Dildos
This is the oldest form of sex toy that we know of, and was used some 32,000 years ago! But in an odd twist, they were also used as chipping flints. Eesh!
Rubber Sleeves
Then, in the 18th and 19th century, Spanish and French sailors began carrying something they liked the call, “Ladies of the Journey,” whist at sea. These were rubber sleeves made for self-pleasure.
Steam-Powered Vibrators
During the 1860’s, the steam-powered vibrator was devised, but only implemented in doctor’s offices. They were used as a means to help women with hysteria. Yep, hysteria!
Battery-Powered Vibrators
These nifty vibrators came about in the 1870’s, but were nothing like what we know them to be today. Their batteries were massive, like that of a car battery. Awkward.
Vibrators Outside of the Doctor’s Office
As time evolved, so did the use of the vibrator. And between 1890 and 1910, these sex toys were available for purchase outside of the doctor’s office. It was also around this time that these devices were used in pornographic channels, which is when doctors stepped aside swiftly and stopped using them.
Health and Wellness
In 1928, the vibrator took on a different role and was marketed for women who wanted to lose weight… *scratches head*
The Magic Wand
In 1945, the magic wand reared its head, becoming known to U.S. military men who were stationed in Japan.
The Silicone Dildo
Move over G.I. Joe, we’ve got a new soldier who deserves more recognition… that is, G.I. Duncan. In the 1970’s, this creative and award-deserving man invented the silicone dildo for his wife.
To sum up, we’ve come quite a long way in the advancement of sex toys and boy, we couldn’t be happier. Got an itch that needs to be scratched? There’s a toy for that! Find your perfect partner-in-crime and use it deliciously or reach heights unseen solo.
