We received an anonymous question asking what the best s*x toy is for cl****is stimulation and a**l. As we mention in the post, there's no such thing as best when it comes to s*x toys. S*x toys, like anything else having to do with s*x or bodies, is highly individualized. Meaning it depends on how your body is built and what sensations you are looking to have. To help you make a decision on which toys are best for you, check out SheVibe's Toy Buyer's Guide (https://shevibe.com/pages/toy-information); and take a look at Oh Joy S*x Toy (https://www.ohjoys*xtoy.com/) for more info on using, cleaning and storing various toys.
