Starting Out: The Most Important Thing First
The single most important factor in buying adult toys as a beginner is this: start smaller and simpler than you think. The biggest mistake beginners make is choosing something complex, intimidating, or too powerful — and then forming a negative first impression.
A $10 bullet vibrator used correctly delivers more satisfaction than a $150 rabbit vibrator used with hesitation.
Step 1: Have the Conversation First
Before purchasing anything, talk to your partner. This conversation does not have to be elaborate.
Opening lines that work:
- •"I read something about couples who try new things together — want to look at some options?"
- •"I'm curious about this. Can we look together?"
- •"I want to try something new with you. Are you open to it?"
The conversation removes the element of surprise — which can land anywhere from delightful to awkward. Mutual enthusiasm is more important than the product itself.
Step 2: Choose Your First Product Category
For couples exploring together:
Best first choice: Couples massage oil or lubricant
Zero barrier to entry. Enhances what you already do. Requires no explanation or instruction. Available from LBP 30,000.
Second choice: Small vibrator (bullet or egg)
The most purchased beginner item at Vexa Store Lebanon. Small, quiet, simple to use, and immediately clear in its purpose. Non-threatening size. Available from LBP 60,000.
Third choice: Couples dice or card game
For couples who want structure and novelty without a physical product. Prompts spontaneous activity in a low-pressure format.
For individuals purchasing alone:
Women: Mini bullet vibrator or wand massager.
Men: Basic masturbator sleeve or cock ring.
Both categories have entry-level options under LBP 80,000 with discreet delivery to any Lebanese address.
Step 3: Know What to Avoid as a Beginner
Avoid: Large or penetrative toys as a first purchase
Save realistic dildos and large insertables for after you've established comfort and communication.
Avoid: BDSM sets as an introduction
Bondage, restraints, and impact play require established trust, communication, and agreed boundaries. Not a starting point.
Avoid: Cheap materials
Products made from jelly, rubber, latex, or PVC are porous — they cannot be fully cleaned and harbor bacteria. Always buy silicone, ABS plastic, glass, or stainless steel. At Vexa Store, all products meet this standard.
Avoid: Buying based on size alone
Bigger is not better — especially for beginners. Sensation comes from vibration pattern, material, and correct use, not size.
Step 4: Understand Body-Safe Materials
This is non-negotiable for health and safety.
| Material | Safe? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Medical silicone | ✅ Yes | Best choice. Non-porous, hypoallergenic |
| ABS plastic | ✅ Yes | Hard toys, motors |
| Borosilicate glass | ✅ Yes | Temperature play, easy to clean |
| Stainless steel | ✅ Yes | Durable, temperature-responsive |
| PVC / jelly / rubber | ❌ No | Porous, cannot be sterilised |
| Cyberskin / UR3 | ❌ No | Porous, degrades quickly |
Step 5: Cleaning and Care
Clean before first use and after every use.
Silicone, glass, stainless steel:
Warm water + unscented soap. Or boil (no motors/electronics attached) for 3 minutes. Or dishwasher top rack.
ABS plastic (with motor/electronics):
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not submerge unless rated fully waterproof.
Store in a clean cloth pouch or the original box. Keep away from other materials — silicone and certain plastics can interact and degrade.

Yes, completely. Awkward is almost universal. The awkwardness passes quickly — usually within minutes of use.
