Sex Toy Advice from iDear

The world of sex toys has exploded and diversified like never before in the last decade. Gone are the days when you had to tiptoe into a dodgy shop, shades on, head down, only to find that your options were limited to phallic-shaped insertables and vibrators. Nowadays, sex toys are as cutting-edge as any personal tech gadget you’ve got lying around—except these gadgets are designed to amplify your pleasure instead of organizing your calendar (though wouldn’t that be nice too?).

Sex toys bring a whole new level of excitement and pleasure to both solo sessions and couple’s escapades, no matter your gender or sexual orientation.

  • To spice things up with different types of play
  • To uncover, explore, and expand your sexual preferences
  • To achieve stronger, more mind-blowing, and blended orgasms
  • To assist with medical issues like ED, menopause, post-birth recovery, gender-affirming care, and more

But most importantly, sex toys can help us reconnect with our bodies, bond with our partners, and unlock the secrets to a happier, more satisfying sex life.

From where we stand, people are starting to realize that sexual pleasure and pleasure products are just as much a part of our overall health and wellness as yoga or kale smoothies. As sexual wellness becomes less taboo and more mainstream, we’re seeing a flood of new products—especially body-safe options—that cater to our sexual health needs. Whether you’re looking to supercharge your sexual experiences, indulge in a little self-love, or fully embrace your sexuality, iDear has everything you need to put your sexual wellness front and center. Plus, we’ll tell you exactly how to pick and use every single thing we sell.

We’ve gathered our extensive range of sex toy guides right here to help you navigate the vast (and sometimes wild) universe of pleasure products. Whether you’re hunting for the best clitoral vibrator to send you over the edge, an app-enabled couple’s toy to keep things steamy while traveling, a masturbation sleeve to take your solo sessions to the next level, or a kegel training set to tackle pelvic floor changes, we’ve got a guide to help you conquer the wide—and wonderfully weird—world of sex toys.
