How to Choose the Right Product From an Online Sex Store

Whether it’s your first time or you’re upgrading your collection, we’ve got you covered.

Let’s break it down.

Start with Why: Understand Your Pleasure Goals

Before browsing an online sex store, ask yourself a few simple questions:

  • Do you want something for solo use or for couples’ play?
  • Are you looking to spice things up or simply explore your body?
  • Do you prefer internal, external, or dual stimulation?

Knowing what you want will help you filter out the noise. Pleasure is personal. There’s no one-size-fits-all.

Think of this like shopping for skincare, you wouldn’t buy a random cream without knowing your skin type. Same principle here.

Pay Attention to Materials

Quality matters. Especially when it comes to your body.

Look for products made with body-safe silicone, medical-grade stainless steel, or borosilicate glass. These materials are non-porous, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean.

Avoid jelly or rubber toys. They may contain phthalates and other nasties that aren’t good for your skin. Silicone is the gold standard, and most luxury brands, like those at The Honey Room, stick to it.

Tip: A high-end product may cost more, but it’s worth it for safety and durability.

Consider the Power Source

Battery-powered or rechargeable?

Rechargeable toys are better for the planet, and your wallet. They also tend to be quieter and more powerful.

If discretion is important, look for whisper-quiet motors and fast charging times. Many modern toys now offer USB charging, making them perfect for travel or storage in your bedside drawer.

Explore the Features

Modern toys come with an impressive list of features. Remote control. Bluetooth. App integration. Multiple vibration patterns.

Cool? Absolutely. But only if it matches your preferences.

If you’re new to toys, go simple first. A basic vibrator or suction toy is a great start. Once you know what you like, you can move on to more advanced features.

Think of it like buying your first smartphone. Start with essentials, then upgrade as you grow.

Size Matters

Bigger isn’t always better.

Start with smaller toys if you’re a beginner. They’re easier to control and less intimidating. If you’ve got more experience, you might enjoy larger or fuller sensations.

Also, don’t ignore shape. Some toys are curved for G-spot or prostate stimulation. Others are designed for external use only.

Read product descriptions carefully. Pay attention to dimensions, user reviews, and any notes on sensation.

Check Reviews From Real People

Reviews can give you honest insights.

Look out for feedback that matches your body or preferences. Some reviews focus on noise levels, others on how soft or firm a product feels. South African buyers often leave detailed comments, especially when shopping from a local online sex store like The Honey Room.

Also, trust your instincts. If something feels off, even if the reviews are glowing—choose something else.

Think About Maintenance and Storage

Pleasure shouldn’t come with stress.

Choose toys that are easy to clean and store. Waterproof toys make cleaning a breeze. And many luxury toys come with their own pouches or cases.

Always wash your toy with a gentle, unscented soap or toy cleaner before and after use. Let it dry completely before storing.

And yes, don’t forget to check if you’ll need lube. Silicone-based lubes work best with glass or metal toys. Water-based is ideal for silicone toys.

Buy From a Store You Trust

This one’s big.

Choose an online sex store that:

  • Lists product ingredients and materials clearly
  • Offers discreet delivery across South Africa
  • Has excellent customer support
  • Doesn’t just push gimmicks

The Honey Room checks all these boxes. We stock luxury adult toys that blend safety, style, and satisfaction. Plus, you’ll find real advice from a team that gets it.

Trust Your Body

Finally, remember that this process is about you.

There’s no “right” toy, only the one that feels right for you. Explore at your own pace. Ask questions. Read guides. And don’t let embarrassment stop you.

Your pleasure is valid. Your curiosity is welcome. And your choices should be guided by confidence, not confusion.
