Finding the right personal lubricant
Personal lubricants are perhaps the greatest unsung sex toy. While it’s true that lubricant can be used to solve a sexual problem, like vaginal dryness, lube is much more than something to use only when you “need” it.
The right personal lubricant can:
- Intensify and enhance sensations (for solo or partner sex)
- Change the way that sex feels
- Help you have sex longer
- Make safer sex safer by reducing the chances that a condom will break
- Eliminate pain associated with intercourse that comes from vaginal dryness
- Be essential for certain kinds of sex play, like using sex toys and exploring anal sex.
- Hundreds of personal lubricants are on the market.
Figuring out which is the right one for you can be tricky. Here are some key things to consider when choosing a personal lubricant.
Do you want a water based or silicone based personal lubricant?
Both water based and silicone based lubricants are safe to use with condoms, and many of the products, and all of the ingredients are FDA approved. The main difference between water based and silicone based lubricants are:
- Flush out of the body, and off the body easier than silicone
- Are more widely available
- Are available in flavored and warming variations
- Are less expensive
- Contain no water, so they never dry up or evaporate
- Require soap and water to come off the skin
- Do not absorb in the skin
- Are more expensive, but less is required
What do you want to use a personal lubricant for?
- Personal lubricants are great to use for all kinds of sex play, including:
- Vaginal penetration
- Anal penetration
- Sex toys
- Masturbation or partner sex
In general, thicker lubricants are better for anal play and with sex toys as they stay on toys better, and may provide extra comfort for anal penetration. For vaginal penetration, the consistency is a personal preference. Men who are looking for a lubricant for masturbation may want an oil based product since it stays slick longer (but is not good for use with condoms or vaginal penetration). Some people mix a long-lasting silicone lubricant with some water-based lubricant to give it a thicker consistency.
Will you have a negative or allergic reaction to a personal lubricant? Are there any long-term health concerns about using a personal lubricant?
Unfortunately, there is practically no research on personal lubricants and allergic reactions or health risks. But there is information about the ingredients in personal lubricants, and over the years, some of the better sex stores have identified anecdotal concerns about using some lubricants. The concerns tend to fall into four areas:
Personal lubricants and yeast infections. While there is no research that shows that lubricants can cause yeast infections, most water based lubricants contain glycerin, and people who are prone to yeast infections should avoid these products.
Personal lubricants and allergic reactions. Individuals could react to any of the ingredients in a lubricant. One common ingredient in lube that can cause an allergic reaction is the paraben preservative.
Personal lubricants and long-term health concerns. Two small studies in the past five years have raised concerns over the potential long-term impact of parabens, which are commonly used in many water based lubricants. There is not enough research to prove anything, but if you are concerned about reactions and long term health effects you may want to read more.
Personal lubricants while trying to conceive. It isn’t often talked about, and there are many physicians who aren’t even aware of it, but most commercial personal lubricants harm sperm and can get in the way of trying to have a baby. This doesn’t mean that lubricant can be used as a form of birth control, but it does mean that if you’re trying to conceive, you should make sure you’re using a lubricant that won’t get in the way.
Do I want a flavored or warming personal lubricant?
Flavoring and warming effects don’t improve the function of a lubricant, and some people report that the lubricants with flavor dry up faster than others. If you are concerned about allergic reactions, you should avoid both flavored and warming lubricants. On the other hand, they can be a fun way to add something different to sex play, and a growing number of lubricant companies are adding flavored and warming products (one company also offers a lubricant that has a cooling effect).

Pearl Rabbit Vibrator - Review
The Bottom Line
The Pearl Rabbit vibrator is one of the classic vibrators, and definitely worth trying for anyone who has already figured out that they like vibration. Avoid inexpensive copies and stick with the Vibratex original.
Pros
The model has an excellent quality motor
Provides simultaneous clitoral stimulation and vaginal penetration
Beads can provide g-spot stimulation and extra external stimulation
Non phallic shape and appearance will appeal to some people
Cons
Not very versatile, only good for providing simultaneous stimulation
Some people don’t like the dual switches and find it too much work
Description
The rabbit vibrator hugs the body and provides clitoral stimulation the shaft rotates and is for vaginal penetration.
Small plastic beads in the shaft rotate and provide extra stimulation and g-spot stimulation for some.
Both motors are variable speed with a slide switch.
Guide Review - Pearl Rabbit Vibrator
The Pearl Rabbit or Rabbit Pearl vibrator is one of those instantly recognizable sex toys, made famous most recently by Sex in the City. This is a classic “dual action” vibrator that provides clitoral stimulation and vaginal penetration at the same time, and the beads that rotate can stimulate around the opening of the vagina or when inside may provide g-spot stimulation for some women.
I wouldn’t recommend this as a first time vibrator because of its lack of versatility, but if you have already figured out that you like vibrators, the Pearl Rabbit is definitely worth the investment.
What makes the Pearl Rabbit unique among dual action vibrators is that the beads come out and offer more stimulation than other rotating toys with beads in the shaft that are flat.
Be aware that there are hundreds of different vibrators called “rabbit” or “rabbit pearl” or “pearl rabbit” but you want to make sure the rabbit vibrator you are buying is of top quality so buy your rabbit vibrators from firstsextoys.co.uk

Sex Toy Care
From Box To Bedroom To Pleasure Chest
As with all things we love, we try to take care of them as best as we can… and your favourite sex toys are no exception. Learn how to show your toys the love they need, so they can love you right back...
Whenever you make the decision to purchase a sex toy, you have high hopes in terms of what you expect of its pleasure output as well as its resilience to regular use. If it’s a great toy, you can rely on its performance when the mood strikes. This article will give you tips on maximizing the performance of your toy and extending its life. These tips in no way intend to replace the recommendations from the manufacturer – it is highly recommended you consult these before using your toy.
Care Checklist
Inspect your toy before you use it
When all you want to do is break into the box and jump on it, you need to put on the brakes and check for the following things:
Discoloration, tears or damage to any of the components
Inspect the battery pack for leaks or corrosion
Make sure wires have proper connection with the main body of the toy and check to see whether the unit operates properly when you put in batteries ie) does it turn on, does it have a range of vibe, etc.
Use the right batteries
Sex toys are made up of small parts and those parts can burn out easily; running them for a long period of time can contribute to their demise. An overheated toy could be a real mood killer
It is a good idea to use the ‘no name’ brand batteries with your toys. Often times, the brand name batteries deliver power that is beyond the capacity of your toy and may short them out over time.
The upside of all this is that its cheap … Picking up a few packages of AA’s & AAA’s at the pound shop is convenient, affordable and you’ll always have fresh batteries on hand.
Use the right lube to maximize the performance
First of all, toys and lube go hand in hand. Even though you may produce a lot of your own natural lubricant, have a bottle of lube on hand for extended sessions and for smooth and comfortable use
Water-based lube is good for practically every type of toy and rinses easily but the downside is that it dries out rather quickly. Try silicone for added staying power but NEVER use silicone-based lube with either nu-skin or silicone toys!! It takes a little extra effort to wash it off but its ability to stay slick is worth it
Waterproofing
Make sure to check with our featured reviews as well as the manufacturer to see if your toy really is waterproof and what level of water exposure it is capable of handling. Always check that all the components are closed properly and that fresh batteries are put in before each use. NEVER STORE BATTERIES IN THE TOY!
Proper Storage
This one is the kicker! To improve your toys lifespan, take batteries out when not in use and keep it in a cool, dark and enclosed place away from pets and children. Why not get a fun box to store them? It’ll be much more appealing and you’re taking pride in the pleasure that your toys give you
Wash your toy after every use
I think that most people don’t jump out the sack and wash their toys right after using them but getting on it is a really good habit to get into. It’ll improve your perception as well as your desire to keep using your toy – special things require some special care.
You can get away with either rinsing with warm water when you use water-based lubes but the silicone-based toys will require some gentle soap or even specialty toy cleaner
Air dry overnight or towel/paper towel dry – check the manufacturers recommendations
Remove your batteries before you start washing!
Check for allergies
There are hopefully enough types of toys out on the market that can accommodate anyone! From glass to silicone to plastic, it gives people with sensitivities enough options to choose from .
To be ultra safe, you may want to use condoms with your toy if something makes you feel uncomfortable or if you would prefer to mitigate the chances of exchanging bacteria with your partner if you’re sharing your toy
Condoms will also lengthen the life of the toy as latex, jelly, nu-skin and rubber are porous and therefore more difficult to clean thoroughly

Which Vibrator is for me?
We have has a huge range of Vibrators at firstsextoys.co.uk, boasting more Vibrator Categories than ever, making it easier for you to select the Vibrator that best suits your needs.
There are so many Vibrators available here, all ranging in function, shape, material, size and price.
Starter Vibrators
As a first time user of Vibrators it is essential that you don’t go too big or you may be put off this whole fantastic experience all together. We have brought together the range of vibrators, including classic, clitoral and rabbit that are best suited to beginners, therefore you will completely enjoy the experience and use sex toys responsibly from the start.
Classic Vibrators
A Classic Vibrator is typically made from hard plastic, they are easy to clean and very simple in design, generally parallel in shape, or slightly tapered with a smooth pointed tip and a base twist style control. They are generally smaller in diameter and so make a great starter toy, and the smooth pointed tip allows the vibrations to pass to the clitoris when used externally. Many hand-bag vibes are in the classic style as they tend to be smaller than some of their fellow sex toys.
Clitoral Vibrators
Clitoral Vibrators are designed exclusively for Vibrating the clitoris. They need to be held in position and moved around the clitoral area for a great experience. Because of their limited task they are typically small and they vary in material type from plastic through to New Age, and they vary in shape and design, from fun through to straight bullets, and from those designed to vibrate on a small spot, to those designed to vibrate with full coverage of the clitoris.
Butterfly Vibrators
A butterfly vibrator is a clitoral vibrator attached to a harness, once in position you can enjoy clitoral stimulation hand’s free as the harness keeps everything in place.
Vibrating Eggs and Bullets
A Vibrating egg or bullet is a small vibrator designed for stimulating the clitoris and for internal use. You can insert the small vibrating toy and enjoy internal vibrations or just enjoy the clitoral arousal. Eggs and bullets are typically made from metal or plastic and are a no frills toy, generally the difference between them is only size, colour and vibration-speed.
Rabbit Vibrators
Rabbit Vibrators have become the classic sex toy over the last 10 years, with many advancements since the original. A Rabbit Style Vibe stimulates the internal Vaginal muscles whilst stimulating the clitoris simultaneously. The clitoris is stimulated traditionally by rabbit ears located on a side mounted rabbit, though as the design has been replicated, we now stock a range of Rabbit Style Vibes that have beavers, humming birds and more, all stimulating with a differing intensity depending on whether you select a vibe with 2 vibrating points, 1 vibrating points or a flat area for fuller vibrational coverage. The shaft of the Rabbit Style Vibe generally rotates in 1 or both directions, the centre point is offset which creates a deeper sensation and moves the position of the vaginal column internally. Often there is a mid area on the shaft which contains pearls, or beads, or metal balls, as the shaft rotates these balls jostle for position, flexing the outer wall of the toy to increase the internal sensation.
Remote Control Vibrators
Remote control Vibrators are fantastic fun, many are of the insertable egg type and all of the firstsextoys.co.uk selection were picked because of their excellent range, all are at least activatable from up to 7.5meters (21 feet) away making them failsafe for remote control. Excellent fun with a friend, give them the remote and let them control when you feel the stimulation.
Realistic Vibrators
The realistic vibe is one that is shaped to look like a penis, sometimes even including balls. Typically they will feature a bulbous head and veined shaft and will range in size from average up to huge. The material is often New Age which leads to a soft skin-like texture and all adding to the realistic experience.
G-Spot Vibrators
The female G-spot is located over the pelvic bone and so it takes a special kind of sex toy to ensure you hit the spot every time. Featuring an angled tip, the G-spot vibrator is often more slender than some of it’s counterparts, the tip will often have a smooth point that is used to probe and massage the G-spot and help you to experience that often elusive G-spot orgasm.
Fun Vibrators
We have a range of Fun Vibrators that are often disguised as something else, but though their design may be fun, they are as powerful as their counterparts, they just lead to a more light-hearted sex session, and they look funny too.
Large Vibrators
Our large vibrator category brings together all the oversize vibrators In the range, all in one place. They are typically 8″ (200mm) or bigger in length and 1.75″ (40mm) or bigger in diameter, and some of them are simply huge and for experienced sex toy users or big penis lovers only. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from realistic, to classic, see above.
Strap-on Vibrators
Strap-on Vibrators are generally used for Girl on Girl action or Girl on Boy Anal action and include a harness with either a built in or removable Vibrator. Choose your strap-on carefully as the most important bit is the vibrator itself, read above for the different types, as the strap-ons can be realistic, classic, large, G-spot etc.
All of our Vibrating Sex Toys come in a wide range of materials, be sure you know which material best suits your requirements.
