The external part of the clitoris (what we see) is just a fraction of its entire size, with around 90 percent of it laying beneath the surface. The internal structures of the clitoris extend down to either side of the vagina, which is where you’ll find the G-spot—the area stimulated by toys that curve toward the front of your body. According to Sara Kloepfer of sex and wellness brand Bellesa, nonporous materials don’t let bacteria through and are generally easy to clean.

As a grown adult, hopefully, you’ve found a few favorite standbys for your personal pleasure chest. (If not, allow us to recommend some favorites.) But if you typically only use your sex toys to go alone, it’s time to expand your horizon and consider some new possibilities.

Yes, you can grab your fave vibe and bring it to the coupled mix, but there’s a whole market full of toys designed to give both you and your boo pleasure viberators, no jealousy required. Like most sex toys, you can use many of these sensual gadgets on a variety of erogenous zones.
