Buzzy launches ‘Second Firsts’ pleasure kit for people returning to dating after divorce
Independent sex toy reviewer Tammy from SexToyReviews.uk helps shape product choices and advice as HBO’s new comedy Youth puts dating after divorce in the spotlight
Sex toy retailer Buzzy.co.uk has launched a new pleasure kit aimed at people returning to dating and sex after divorce or the end of a long-term relationship.
The Second Firsts Back-to-Dating Pleasure Kit brings together four affordable products chosen to help people explore different kinds of stimulation without being confronted by complicated or intimidating toys.
To help shape the collection, Buzzy sought advice from Tammy at independent review site SexToyReviews.uk, drawing on her experience of reviewing products and the questions, feedback and experiences shared by her community.
Tammy also provided practical advice for people buying sex toys after a long break from dating, including what to look for, how to experiment with different sensations and how to introduce a toy with a new partner.
The launch comes as HBO prepares to premiere new comedy Youth, created by and starring Sharon Horgan, on September 20. The eight-part series follows a 50-year-old divorcee navigating sex and love alongside work and family life.
Buzzy says the series highlights a part of post-divorce life that is often overshadowed by conversations about dating apps, first dates and starting over: rediscovering your own sex life.
‘Try a couple of different types of stimulation’
Tammy said:
“Starting to explore your sexuality after a long relationship can be daunting, but it can also be a lot of fun.
“I’d try a couple of different types of stimulation and see what feels good to you now. My personal orgasm failsafe, the clitoral suction toy, barely existed a decade ago; if you’ve never tried one, you’re in for a treat!
“A wand gives you broader external stimulation, while a small G-spot toy lets you explore internally and can be combined with clitoral stimulation if you fancy experimenting with blended orgasms.
“And use the lube, even if you don’t think you need it. It makes toys more comfortable, sex feel better and deserves a permanent place in the bedside drawer.”
The resulting Second Firsts kit includes the Loving Joy Curved 5 Inch Silicone Dildo with Suction Cup, Loving Joy 10 Function Clitoral Suction Vibrator, Tabooboo Under The Sheets Mini Wand Vibrator and Loving Joy Slide Water-Based Lubricant 250ml.
The products have been selected to offer a mix of internal stimulation, clitoral suction and broader external vibration, alongside a water-based lubricant.
Individually the four products have a combined RRP of £85.00, with the complete Second Firsts kit launching for £49.99.
‘You can find yourself having first experiences all over again’
Andy Barr from Buzzy said:
“There is this strange assumption that when somebody becomes single again after a divorce or a 20-year relationship, they somehow immediately know what they’re doing.
“In reality, dating has changed, sex toys have changed and people themselves have changed. You can suddenly find yourself effectively having first experiences all over again in your forties or fifties.
“That’s where Second Firsts came from. It isn’t about trying to turn someone back into their 25-year-old self. Sod that. It’s about working out what the person you are now actually enjoys.
“We also wanted proper guidance behind the collection rather than just sticking four products in a box. Tammy reviews these products for a living and hears directly from people buying and using them, so her input on the types of toys people find approachable was hugely useful.”
Tammy says people returning to dating should also feel more confident about understanding and communicating what they want.
She said:
“Don’t be embarrassed about knowing what you want. Dating in your 30s or 40s can feel completely different because you’ve already done the bit where you’re trying to impress everyone.
“This time, the job is to work out what makes you happy, what feels good and what you’re no longer willing to settle for.
“That applies in the bedroom too. Understanding your own body and knowing what brings you pleasure can be incredibly empowering, and it makes it much easier to recognise when a partner is genuinely adding something to your life.”
Her advice for introducing a toy with somebody new is equally straightforward.
Tammy said:
“‘I’ve got something I really like, fancy trying it with me?’ is enough.
“Frankly, any man who isn’t enthusiastic about your pleasure is a huge red flag and needs to be sent back to Tinder.”
The Loving Joy Curved 5 Inch Silicone Dildo with Suction Cup was chosen as an approachable option for exploring internal and G-spot stimulation.
The Loving Joy 10 Function Clitoral Suction Vibrator introduces a type of stimulation that has become far more widely available in recent years, while the Tabooboo Under The Sheets Mini Wand Vibrator provides broader external vibration.
The collection is completed by Loving Joy Slide Water-Based Lubricant, something Tammy believes deserves a place in every bedside drawer.
Barr added:
“People talk endlessly about the terrifying bits of dating after divorce: the apps, the first dates and wondering whether somebody saying they love hiking actually means they love hiking.
“We wanted to concentrate on one of the potentially brilliant bits.
“You get to discover somebody new, but you also get the chance to rediscover yourself.
“Your first chapter ending doesn’t mean the interesting bit did.”
The Second Firsts Back-to-Dating Pleasure Kit is available from Buzzy.co.uk priced at £49.99.
