My top recommendation: The Womanizer Starlet. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with this line, its a device that uses little puffs of air to stimulate the clitoris, mimicking and sometimes improving upon the sensations received from oral sex. The Starlet in particular is the travel size version. It will provide you with the same sensations as the full sized Pro (I own both) at a fraction of the cost. Its perfect for first timers.

Everyone who introduces sex toys into their self-pleasure and/or sexual experiences has to begin somewhere. But with the overwhelming selection on the market, it can become very confusing very quickly to choose the one right for you. Unfortunately, sex toys are often not one size fits all. The vibrator that may fit fine for one, might be too big to easily be taken by another. Even if a toy does fit, does not mean it will be adequate. For example, all rabbit vibrators have different measurements. The g spot curve may not reach every individual's pleasure zone. The rabbit "ears" may not touch the clitoris even if everything else works great.

That being said, I would not even recommend ANY sort of rabbit for the inexperienced. It is as important to not experience pain as it is to have an orgasm. More so actually.

All that aside some key points to consider when shopping for your first toy:

1. Eliminate all unsafe materials
Jelly is a huge no-no. Not only does this material harbor bacteria, it could melt when in contact with other toys, certain lubes, or even leach harmful material into a persons body without even knowing it. Other materials are safer than others, but some require more care than others. At this time, first timers are better off if they go with safe easy to clean materials such as Pure Silicone (watch that you don't buy blended), metal, glass. If buying silicone, use water based lube.

2.Consider Noise
Some vibrators are quite loud. Do you live by yourself or with someone else? If you live with others, would it be a problem if the noise could be heard? Would the noise bother you? If so, pay special attention to the Noise level in reviews and testimonials. Find an audio and/or video clip that will allow you to hear the toy while it is running.

3.Size
Most first time toy users may find that they are happiest with a clitoral vibrator or insertable vibrator with a small circumference and short length. Total virgins who have not had sex before may want to avoid insertable vibrators completely, but for those who have had sex, just keep in mind the size. Ask yourself what you know you can comfortably take. Then take a look at the dimensions. And read reviews. Your peers can give you a wealth of information.

4.Insertable or External
This ties into the size section above. Decide where you want to focus stimulation. Just remember, virgins may be best fitted with an external toy.

5. Power Source and Strength
Decide how you want your toy to be powered. The majority of toys available, especially in the lower priced range are powered by alkaline batteries. The other toys use watch batteries, built in rechargeable, or are powered by electric. Plug in toys will be among the strongest, with rechargeable toys being equal or a close second. Some alkaline toys pack quite a punch as well, just be sure to keep back up batteries on hand! New technology by Fun Factory allows users with select toys to have the best of both worlds.
Taking either regular or rechargeable batteries, you can even charge recharable batteris inside the toy with the Fun Factory Hybrid Kit and charging cable.

6. Waterproof?
If you need this, forget any electric corded toy. This isn't to say the toy with a rechargeable battery that you are looking at isn't waterproof. It probably is, but you don't want to risk electric shock by bringing dangerous current around water. For everything else, remember water resistant means NO submerging!

Dear Sex Guy - IMHO, since I'm assuming you don't know exactly what are the preferences of your friends, the safest choice would be a finger vibrator, for example. It's non-intimidating, quite powerful and perfectly combines with couple's play. Take a look at some finger vibes we have. Maybe, a remote-controlled option would also be a fun choice.
