Your First Toy: A Zero-Awkwardness Beginner’s Guide

Your First Toy: A Zero-Awkwardness Beginner’s Guide (Happi Edition)

Buying your first sex toy shouldn’t feel like a secret mission, a science exam, or something you have to whisper about.
Here at Happi Hour, we believe pleasure should feel — well — Happi. No awkwardness, no judgement, no pressure.

So let’s walk through your first toy with pure clarity and zero cringe.

1. Start with your comfort level (not the trend)

Your first toy doesn’t need to be flashy, intense, or something you saw trending on TikTok at 2am. Beginners usually feel most confident with:

• Bullet vibrators (small, discreet, super easy)
  
  

• Classic vibes (simple settings, intuitive)
  
  

• Soft silicone toys (gentle on sensitive skin)
  
  

Think of it like cocktails — you don’t start with tequila shots; you start with something smooth.

2. Keep the intensity gentle

Most first-timers feel overwhelmed because bigger toys and strong motors seem scary.

Pro tip from the Happi Team:

“If you can’t imagine it feeling comfortable, your body probably agrees.”

Choose:

• Mid-level intensity
  
  

• Quiet motors
  
  

• Flexible silicone
  
  

You’re looking for curiosity, not fear.

3. Look for toys with simple controls

You don’t need 19 vibration modes.
You need something that makes sense instantly.

Look for:

• 1–3 buttons
  
  

• 5–10 modes max
  
  

• Clear labels (we hate confusing buzzwords too)
  
  

Happi Hour specialises in “human-language settings” — no jargon, just good vibes.

 

4. Go for body-safe materials (this really matters)

For your first toy, stick to:

• Medical-grade silicone
  
  

• ABS plastic
  
  

Avoid:

• Jelly toys
  
  

• Toys without clear materials listed
  
  

• Anything that smells too strong (yes… that’s a thing)
  
  

If the material description feels shady, skip it.

 

5. Lube is your best friend

There’s no gold medal for going without lube.

Beginner-friendly choices:

• Water-based lube (safe with any toy)
  
  

• Thick versions for more comfort
  
  

• Unscented if you’re sensitive
  
  

A little goes a long, long way.

 

6. Start slowly (your body will tell you what’s right)

Find your pace. Explore in your own time.
Pleasure isn’t a race — it’s more like a happy little wander.

Try:

• Short sessions first
  
  

• Testing different angles
  
  

• Sticking to one or two vibration modes
  
  

You’re building comfort, not rushing.

 

7. Cleaning is simple (we promise)

Use:

• Toy cleaner or mild soap
  
  

• Warm water
  
  

• Let it air dry
  
  

Then store it somewhere clean (our Happi Bags are perfect).
