Sex toys

How do modern sex toys work?

A sex toy is an object designed to stimulate an erogenous zone through vibration, suction, stroking, pressure, or electrostimulation. Current models rely on silent brushless motors (under 50 dB), USB-rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, and non-porous medical-grade silicone that can be sterilized with hot water or isopropyl alcohol.

The global market exceeded $35 billion in 2025, and the average basket size is around €50. quedulove covers the entire range, from entry-level accessories at €15 to app-connected models priced over €200. Remember to pair your purchase with a compatible lubricant to protect both your mucous membranes and the materials.

Different types of sex toys

• Vibrators: stimulation via vibration, from mini clitoral stimulators to dual-stimulation rabbits. See our vibrators section.
• Dildos: non-motorized penetration, available in realistic or fantasy shapes, made of silicone, glass, or metal.
• Suction stimulators: replicate suction using pressure waves for a different sensation than classic vibration.
• Male sex toys: textured masturbators, cock rings, pumps, prostate massagers.

How to choose your first sex toy

• By area: clitoris (mini-vibrators, suction), G-spot (rabbits, curved dildos), penile (rings, masturbators), anal (progressive plugs).
• By material: medical-grade silicone for safety, ABS for budget, glass for thermal stimulation.
• By power: start with 5–7 vibration patterns, move up to 10+ once you've gained experience.
• By battery life: USB-rechargeable rather than battery-operated, IPX7 waterproof rating for shower use.
• By budget: €15–€30 to get started, €40–€80 for lasting quality, €100 and up for connected models.
