We’re glad you asked! With so many options to choose from, naturally, one size doesn’t fit all. And while we encourage you to create a little mystery in your boudoir, we would like to demystify the process of selecting which toy is right for you. Everyone has preferences, and there truly is something for everyone. Whether you’re new to sex toys, or simply adding something new to your box of magic tricks, you’ll want to consider the three F’s: Function, Feeling, and Finances. As we walk you through some basics, and offer a few suggestions, try to imagine how you would personally use the product you're considering. If it makes your heart flutter a bit, chances are you'll be very pleased with your selection.
Don’t hesitate to contact us with specific questions about what toy is right for you!

BE is conveniently divided into major categories – each with specific subcategories – that will guide you through your many options. From G-spotting to clitoral, and rabbit style to discreet, simply click on the category that best suits your interests to browse through our current products.
| Would you like a vibrating toy? Vibrators come in all shapes and sizes to add a little extra zing to your pleasure. Think of them as an extension of your hand and you’ll be able to narrow down which style will make you the happiest. |
|
| Do you achieve orgasm from penetration alone? If you’re a woman who doesn’t require clitoral stimulation to climax, then take advantage of the full feeling of a well crafted dildo. They’ll fill you up and offer the slip and slide you appreciate. Some “dils” are harness compatible, and while most do not vibrate there are some that can accommodate a micro-bullet in the base. Have a look at our pretty glass dils, too! |
|
| Do you need clitoral stimulation to orgasm? Any vibrator can be used to stimulate the clitoris, but the dual-action toys (aka “rabbit style) are especially good at this task. The shaft can vibrate, tumble, or squirm while the extension (aka clit ticklers) offers simultaneous clitoral stimulation. |
|
| Is the sound level a consideration? Some vibrators are louder than others. Generally speaking, we think vibes that plug into the wall are among the loudest, while the rechargeable selections tend to be on the quieter side. |
|
| Do you prefer length or girth? Each BE product page lists specific dimensions so that you can judge whether something is too small, too big, or just right for you! |
|
| Are you nipple sensitive? Nipples are a highly erogenous zone for many women and men. Don’t neglect them during your play time. |
|
| Is this toy for anal penetration? Backdoor play requires specific toy construction. Beginners may prefer beads (good ones will have a sturdy method of retrieval and be easy to clean), while more advanced users may prefer plugs (look for a flared base for safety). |
|
| Would you like your toy to be waterproof? Planning on getting frisky with water sports? Choose from toys specifically made to get wet – but make sure to determine whether your selection is water-proof or water-resistant so you know how to preserve its power. |
|
| Would you like to travel with your toy? Look for small, compact toys with designs or casing intended to keep your secret. |
|
| Would you prefer something rechargeable or battery operated? There are a few toys with an electrical plug-in which tend to be on the larger side and are ideal for beds with outlets nearby – no need for batteries or charging. Rechargeable toys tend to be a little pricier due to their superior craftsmanship and durability. Many fall under our luxury Sophisticated category for this reason. If you know you can discretely charge your toy for a few hours, and can plan ahead then you may want to consider this new option. However, our old friend the battery is plentiful and has never failed us. |
|
| Would you like something that’s designed specifically for two people to play with? Any toy can be used in partner play, but erection rings are great for helping men achieve erection for longer periods of time. Make it a vibrating erection ring and you both get the benefits of prolonged erection with added buzz! Some have additional extensions for clitoral stimulation during intercourse. |
|
| Are you interested in exercising your vaginal muscles after pregnancy or surgery? Pregnancy, surgery, and age all affect our ability to “grip” during intercourse. These selections will help strenghen the vaginal muscles |
| Would a specific color make your heart beat a little faster? | |
| Would you like it to be cute? | |
| Would you prefer something miniature? | |
| Would you prefer something realistic looking? | |
| Would you prefer something in metal? Silicone, latex or elastomer? Glass? BE lists materials used on each product page. Overall texture is a personal preference but each type has its benefits. For example, glass is smooth, easy to clean, and is suitable for warming up or cooling down to offer added sensation. Hard plastic is generally less expensive but incredibly durable. Elastomer is a great option for those with latex sensitivities. |
|
| Would you prefer a milder sensation, or does the idea of “turning it up to 11” put you in the mood? | |
| Would you prefer something elegant and stylish? Something that could double as an objet d’art on your coffee table? |
Is this your first vibrator purchase? Well there’s no need to break the bank. Boudoir Essentials has many affordable items to choose from. Try one that meets your Function and Feel criteria, and move on from there. |
Some of our perennial favorites are in the mid-priced range and never fail to meet our expectations. If you already know what you enjoy in a toy, don’t hesitate to kick it up a notch and invest in a toy from this range. They’re solidly made and worth every penny. |
Nothing says “I’m worth it” like splurging on a beautiful luxury toy that will seduce you, and your partner, every time you flip the switch to ON! |
