How to Choose Your First Sex Toy Online in Australia
· Shopify API
The best first sex toy is one that matches how you want to use it: external vibrators and bullets suit solo beginners, while couples often start with something simple to share. Aftercare Co. is a Perth based online adult store that ships plain, unbranded parcels across Australia, with free Australian delivery on orders over $100.
What is the best first sex toy for a beginner?
For most beginners, a small external vibrator, such as a bullet or a compact wand, is the easiest place to start, because it is simple to use and has few moving parts. That is general advice, not a rule for everyone.
Aftercare Co. sorts its range into categories that map onto this choice, including bullet vibrators, clitoral suction vibrators, G-spot vibrators, massage wand vibrators, cock rings and masturbators. Start by deciding what sensation you are curious about, then browse that one category rather than the whole catalogue.
Should I shop for myself or as a couple?
Decide this first, because it changes what you look for. Solo toys can be as personal as you like, while couples toys need to be comfortable and enjoyable for two people.
The store has separate groupings for couples, for her and for him, so you can start from who the toy is for. Its For Couples category includes options such as app and remote controlled toys, which let one partner control the toy from a phone or remote. If you are choosing for a partner, talk it through first. A surprise toy can land badly if the other person has not agreed to it.
How do I pick between the main types of toy?
Match the type to the sensation you want: suction for clitoral focus, a G-spot vibrator for internal curves, a wand for broad vibration, a cock ring or masturbator for him. Match first, then compare brands.
- Bullet vibrators: small and simple, a common first purchase.
- Wand vibrators: larger, with broad vibration. Satisfyer is one of the brands stocked.
- Insertable toys: dildos, G-spot toys and rabbit styles, which need good lubricant.
- Anal toys: need extra care and a flared base, which is general safety advice for any anal toy.
The store carries Lelo, Satisfyer, Doc Johnson and OUCH! in one place, so you can compare brands without opening several shopping carts. For a deeper walk through, the store has a guide on how to choose the right intimate product.
Do I need lubricant with a new toy?
In most cases yes, because lubricant makes insertable and anal toys more comfortable and reduces friction. It is a cheap add on that makes a real difference to a first experience.
The type matters. A common rule of thumb is that water based lubricant is the safest match for most toys, while some silicone toys can be damaged by silicone lubricant. Check the toy's own product page or packaging before you pair them. The store's guide to lubricants explains the options, and its Lubes, Oils and Essentials range sits alongside the toys.
Is online ordering really discreet?
Yes. Every Aftercare Co. order ships in plain, unbranded packaging such as a standard brown box or satchel, with no mention of adult toys or the full business name on the outside.
That covers the parcel itself. Your card statement and any emails are separate, so if privacy matters, contact support@aftercareco.com.au and ask before you order. Orders are processed within 5 business days, excluding weekends and Western Australian public holidays, and processing can take a little longer around Christmas and Valentine's Day. Perth metro deliveries may arrive sooner than interstate orders once dispatched.
What if I choose the wrong toy?
Change of mind returns and returns for an incorrect selection are not accepted, because of the intimate nature of the products. That makes it worth choosing carefully before you buy.
If an item has a genuine manufacturing defect, Aftercare Co. covers return shipping and provides a replacement or a full refund, and may ask for a photo or video of the fault. Read product pages closely, and if you are unsure which toy suits you, email or call +61 458 903 211 first. First time customers who subscribe get 10% off a first order.
Is there something gentler than a toy to start with?
Yes. If a toy feels like a big step, start with a shared experience that keeps pressure low: a game, lingerie, massage oil or a pleasure product for a partner.
The store's Games and Novelty range suits this, as does an item like the Sexy Scratcher oral pleasure game for her, which is a playful way to begin without a large commitment. If you are curious about bondage later, the Bondage and Fetish 101 guide is a sensible next read. If you have pain, an injury or a health concern, see your doctor before using any intimate product.
