Hi vagina_pagina! Long time no see.

I'm a cis-female 6 months out of a long-term relationship, and haven't been having a lot of sex since then. I'm finding myself bored of the same old masturbation routine. I miss penetration (both vaginally and anally), and want to be able to feel that sensation again on my own. In addition, I've made a friend over the internet who I've been videochatting with and other things, and I think it would be fun to mix up our "conversations" a bit.

When I start to look at sex toys online, I'm really overwhelmed, and I think I'm a bit too shy to walk into a sex shop on my own. I bought a vibrator a couple of years ago (http://www.libida.com/papillion-massager.html) when I was pre-orgasmic. I think I used it about twice before I threw it in a drawer and never touched it again. Now that I am orgasmic, maybe I would enjoy the vibrations?

Basically, I'm looking for either:
a) specific recommendations for toys
or
b) recommendations for guides to help me find what I want. I've tried to Google some things, but I'm still overwhelmed and confused.

I know this is pretty vague, but I appreciate any help you can give!

Ok, I think it might be good to have a post listing some good sex toy/vibrator/etc websites that will ship to countries outside the U.S. (bonus points if they ship FROM your country, extra bonus points if they don't charge an arm and a leg for shipping).

I'm specifically in Canada, so there's a good start. Sites that ship to Canada, anyone?
Europe, Australia? Other countries?
I don't want to completely exclude the U.S., so feel free to list those too, if you're in the U.S.

Start listing em!

I was stumbling around the internet and came across this really interesting article, thought it might be of interest to the community! :)

Holy crap, for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the the website that has a free sex toy/vibrator and all you pay is shipping and handling... Does anyone know or am I remembering something old and doesn't exist anymore??

I read the instructions the vibe I've had for a while (the brand is "Shane's World" by California Exotic Novelties), and they said not to put my vibe near other thigns that would cause a chemical reaction.

That made me wonder, should I be putting this thing on my clit? I don't want to poison my vag. I do like it, it's very quiet and gives me decent orgasms (although I use to finsih myself off, since the batteries wear down fast otherwise. It takes 3 watch batteries.

I figured maybe I should get a new vibrator. I though about the Hitachi, but I want something that my roomie won't hear. I heard the Hitachi is noisy. Is this true? So anyone have any recomendations for a quiet clitoral stimulator?

BTW, LJ keeps on telling me I'm not allowed to post tags. Why not? I wanted to put sex-toys and vibrators.

I found an article in the Oct/Nov issue of Bust magazine about "jelly" vibrators and how they can potentially be harmful...I just thought I should share this since it helped me put together the pieces as to why I've been having re-occuring yeast infections instead of thinking that it had something to do with the person I'm with right now.

I typed out the short article since I couldn't get my scanner to scan the whole thing:

Hihi, I never really post here often But recently I've come upon a bit of a situation.

My well, ex now? But like...I guess FWB now? haha bought me a toy, a small purple vibrator. I used it quite a bit this past weekend, but I think due to my using it I got a yeast infection (D:!). I bought the WalMart knockoff Monistat-3 (which I don't like, the other time I had a YI was four years ago and I used Diflucan, Monistat is so messyyyy :() and I'm on day 2. So hopefully it clears up!

My question is, since I really still want to use my toy (it's good!), how do I properly clean/care for my vibrator as to not get another YI? I used like antibacterial soap and cold water...which I'm guessing wasn't a good thing. x_x Is there any sort of like wipe-like thing (like a diaper wipe) I could use? I can't just carry it into the bathroom during school...walking down a hallway with a bright purple vibrator in a college dorm...not happening! haha

Thanks ladies!

Hey all,
I just wanted to share a recommendation for those of you who are having hetero, PIV sex: the Trojan vibrating ring. It's a disposable cock-ring with a little vibrator attached to it, which you can use with or without a condom. It gave me some of the nicest sex I'd had in a while. My boyfriend and I just tried it today, and while he said he didn't get much out of it, he loved seeing the reaction it gave me. I pretty much melted into a very happy puddle of goo after I came. So, just thought you all might want to know about it. I also get a huge kick out of the fact that you can buy them at the drugstore next to the regular condoms -- with all the anti-women's-rights things happening in the news these days, it's nice to see at least one sign of a step forward for women's sexuality, small as it is.

Anyway. Just as a note, I know that these things are sold in more permanent versions at sex-toy shops, and I imagine that those ones are just as good, but I've never personally tried them. So, try one out and enjoy!

I was wondering if any of you girls had any advice on what vibrator I should get.

I want it to be at least 7 inches I think (partly for pleasure, partly b/c shorter ones are hard on the wrist!)
I want it to be silicone (hard plastic has no appeal to me since I would use it primarily for insertion, and jelly ones give me a horrible allergic reaction)
I dont wait to be too wide though.
G-spot stimulation ideally.

two things, both interrealated:

1) i can only orgasm the following ways: vibrator directly on the clit, manual stimulation (during sex or otherwise), oral.

2) in the past, this has never presented a problem. I tend to feel a little ashamed (dissapointed) that i can't get off w/o some kind of help, but i know this is completely normal. all of my past partners have been extremely open minded, and wanted me to do whatever i need to to feel good.

the problem is that my new partner is very threatened by sex toys. VERY. we are considering moving in together, and he has given me the ultimatum of throwing them away or not moving in. he has this stupid idea that i just haven't "tried hard enough" to orgasm the "natural way," he even seems to feel that when i touch myself during sex it insults his abilities. i feel like he is trying to condem me to sex without pleasure, and believe me, i've had enough years of that.
i respect that fact that he wants it to be just "a man and a women" (also, he is the only guy i've ever been with that calls it "making love") but his opinions about what i should be doing with my body insult me. you know what, i call it fucking and when i do it i like to come. period.
he seems to feel threatened by the fact that i have been with other men as well (even though he has been with 14 other women), he constantly obsesses about his penis size and his skills as a lover.
i've done everything i can to comfort him, and actually he is quite good. i just can't relax around him sexually, buecause i feel he resents me for what i need to do to get off. This includes the fact that i have to use lube to get wet enough, another blow to his ego.

What should i do?!? it really sucks that i've found someone i can be with, but he has such big problem with something i really enjoy. i am NOT willing to sacrifice my own pleasure to please him, and i am NOT willing t lie about what i like. i have never encountered this problem before (normally men think sex toys and masturbation during sex are hot) and have no idea what to do.

also, he's commented that i'm "too particular" about what i like. i give direction, because i know what i like. if he doesn't do things the right way i feel no pleasure. in my opinion, he should be glad for the help.

*another point that really hurts my feelings- he compares me to other women. they never "had that problem" and they all "came just from sex." i tried to tell him that most of them were prob faking, but he certainly didn't want to here that. i don't want to feel like there's anything wrong with me, and i didn't really until he made such an issue about this

i don't want to have to lie or fake it, we're all adults here (by here i mean my relationship).

EDIT: most of the assertions that he is controling are pretty much correct, although i would say it stems from a severve lack of self esteem more than anything else (ex. he's a cop, if that gives you any clues). i agree with the advice as far as not moving in, it's pretty muuch how i felt as soon as this issue came up. i mostly posted because i'm so hurt that he was able to make me feels ashamed of pursuing my own pleasure. i hope it's a feeling that won't hurt future relationships.

*********thanks for all the support, all of you guys pretty much articulated the things that i should have been thinking for quite awhile now. best community ever.
