We get so caught up in using our vibrators for solo play that we often forget to bring our sex toys to the party!

Vibrators are great for masturbating with, but they also have the ability to take sex with a partner from fun to phenomenal.

What's more, if you are someone who can't orgasm from internal stimulation alone (and believe us, you're not the only one!) then incorporating your favourite vibe into your sex life could be a game-changer.

Here are 7 of the best sex positions for adding in your vibrator – there are countless more but those are for you and your vibe to discover first-hand!

"I should try a sex toy." It's a thought that's been gently niggling at the back of your mind for a while now.

"You have to find out what the fun is all about!" it says. "Lovehoney wouldn't have an extensive website, a blog and a YouTube channel with over 100,000 subscribers if sex toys weren't all that they were cracked up to be."

You've been scrolling through our website when you get some time alone, trying to work out if you should go for something that vibrates, or sucks, or thrusts or plugs, but there's just too much to choose from!

You know you want to try a sex toy, that much is certain.

Maybe it's because you've never had an orgasm before and you're curious to find out what it's like – I know that's why I bought my first sex toy.

Or maybe you know how to get your rocks off on your own but now you want to take things to the next level. If you're not sure where to start, just think of it as like using your favourite online shopping website.

You can shop according to brand or price. You can read other people's reviews to get a sense of customer satisfaction levels. Sometimes there are sales and discounts, so you can snap up a bargain – all those parts of sex toy shopping are familiar.

But with Lovehoney you can also shop according to what orifice you want stimulated, and whether you'd prefer your dildo to look realistic or not – so I guess that kind of sets sex toy shopping significantly apart from any other retail experience.

Here are 5 beginner toys you should look at if you're not sure where to start.

Curious about butt plugs? Want to know what they feel like and why people use them? You've come to the right place.

Your butthole is packed with sensitive nerve endings that can feel incredible when stimulated. But how do you get to them when they're tucked away in your butt? Of course, a finger or a willing partner's penis can help you out, but there is another, super-pleasurable option if you're keen for a little butt fun.

Enter the trusty butt plug: an intrepid little toy that's shaped to fit your body and more than happy to help you explore the pleasures that lie beyond your backdoor.

Butt plugs come in different shapes, sizes and materials, so which one's best for you will depend on your experience, anatomy and what kind of sensations you're after.

With the right prep and progression, a butt plug can offer a new, and potentially more intense, way to orgasm.
