In the ladies sex toy category you have many different options to choose from, but they mainly revolve around two types. Those are the dildo, and a vibrator. They come in many different styles and sizes to choose from. Some are meant for external stimulation to work the clitoris, while others are geared towards internal or g-spot stimulation. Or they can be a combination of both, like the famous “rabbit” vibrator that many people absolutely love. Many have various speed functions that can be changed depending on how you prefer to use the device. Here are some more specific examples of types of sex toys geared towards women and what they will achieve for you in getting to achieve the “Big O” you are looking for. 

Clitoral Vibrators: These are usually small, basic vibrators that are made of plastic or silicone. The size can vary, but the majority tend to be about 5 inches long. Many are also waterproof for shower or bath time play.

Bullet Vibrators: Small, bullet shaped vibrators that are great for clitoral or g-spot stimulation. Usually controlled with a remote, but some have push button operation that can just be turned on to the level you want in vibration pattern.

Classic Vibrators: These old school models look like giant massagers with their larger wand type shape. Many can be charged now the a USB port for endless hours of fun.
