The Only Sites You Should Be Buying Sex Toys From, According to Experts — & How to Choose

BEST OVERALL

Adam & Eve

Adam & Eve is packed with plenty of toys regardless of the stimulation you crave. The Satisfyer One Night Stand Clitoral Stimulator is one of the retailer’s bestselling toys, and for a good reason: It provides patented air pressure wave technology to provide intense yet gentle stimulation. It replicates the feeling of oral stimulation thanks to the soft silicone opening. The stimulator also features a smooth and contoured shape, which fits perfectly in the palm of your hand.

BEST O.G.

Good Vibrations

With a name that nails it — and the URL to match — you would think that Good Vibrations must have been around for a while. And you’d be right: the brand was founded in 1977 by a San Francisco woman who wanted to turn the tables on the traditional sex toy industry and have it focus more on females. In the 46 years since it’s been in operation, Good Vibrations has grown and changed with the times. It became the first shop to eschew toys made with phthalates — taking a stance for body-safe materials — as well as cater to people across the gender spectrum. To develop stronger pelvic floor muscles, which in turn leads to stronger orgasms, use  a pelvic floor exerciser like the
Momenta Kegel Balls, which is app-controlled.

MOST CONVENIENT

Amazon

When it comes to convenience, you can’t do better than Amazon: The retailer carries a variety of toys that have thousands of five-star reviews and boast reasonable prices. The caveat here (and most sex toy experts will agree) is that you do need to be wary of counterfeit, and low-quality products that haven’t been vetted. So before you click “add to cart,” always make sure to read through the reviews, as well as the actual materials the toy is made out of. We spotted this $15 classic wand from Sikxtoa made from medical grade, smooth silicone that’s easy to clean and feels great. It also has wow-worthy features such as: 20 vibration modes and eight vibration intensity settings, a good battery (it’s charged via USB), and it has a compact, discreet size.

Other stand-out toys include: The Womanizer Duo 2 Rabbit Vibrator, Lelo Soraya 2 Rabbit Vibrator, and Satisfyer Pro 2 Clitoral Stimulator.

BEST PRODUCT SELECTION

Lovehoney

You can find just about anything you could ever possibly be into at Lovehoney. It’s a great place to buy sex toys online because it truly has something for everyone. It’s stocked with lingerie, sexual health products for people of all genders, including anyone going through menopause, and much, much more. Not only do we love the product selection we’re also big fans of their packaging. Every order is sent in a discreet brown box or padded envelope, so no one but you will know what’s inside. “If you’re wanting something a little less intense only focused on the clit, grab the Lovehoney Rose Clitoral Suction Stimulator. It’s budget friendly, completely waterproof, and easy to clean,” says Drysdale of the rosebud-shaped toy.

BEST BUDGET-FRIENDLY

PinkCherry

If you’re looking to get off and save money in the process, PinkCherry hits the spot. Not only do they carry a wide range of products with a decent assortment of very affordable, but their deals and discounts are off the charts. They have an entire clearance section full of vibrators, suction toys, and more up to 80 percent off. (!) The brand also has an educational blog that helps you learn more about your purchases and how to use them. One of them is the Three Speed Bullet Vibe, a PinkCherry customer favorite that’s currently less than $2. It’s a classic bullet for stimulating the clitoris as well as other erogenous zones, like your nipples.

BEST FOR COUPLES

Target

If you’re thinking, “Target? For sex toys?”, you’re not alone. Yes, the same mega-retailer you can’t resist for skincare, toiletries, groceries, and decor galore also has a decent assortment of top-rated toys, including ones for both women and men by popular brand Hello Cake. The brightly colored silicone gems are perfect for both solo and partner play. Target also carries a handful of products by one of our other favorites, plusOne. The plusOne Waterproof and Rechargeable Vibrating Ring might be the perfect couple’s sex toy, in fact.  Designed to fit snugly around his penis to give good vibes to both parties, it rises to the challenge when your partner’s not around, too.

BEST FOR STRAP-ONS

Wet for Her

Wet for Her is a sex toy brand that was founded by lesbians, and the brand celebrates all things queer and LGBTQIA+. Take a look at their joyful online storefront and you’ll find everything from Rainbow themed dildos to scissoring vibrators. Wet for Her celebrates sexuality in all its forms, offering a guide for beginners, transgender gear and an “orgasmic reward program.” One of the shop’s top new products is the WowHer Wearable Ring and Clit Vibrator, a little accessory that truly packs a punch. Fit over any dildo or double dildo and turn it on to get clitoral stimulation at the same time as penetration — a true double whammy.

BEST FOR INTENSE VIBRATIONS

Le Wand

Perhaps you’ve seen them, or perhaps you’ve used them. Vibrating wands that look similar to a body massager you might find on The Sharper Image are the bread and butter of Le Wand. The Le Wand Petite Massager, a slightly smaller version of the original, has six pulsation patterns and 10 vibration intensities, but it has all of the power of the full-size version for you to enjoy.

BEST FOR BUNDLES

Maude

Are you a fan of the clean girl aesthetic? You need to shop at the woman-owned brand Maude. They have sexual wellness products, including lubes, massage oils, and even condoms in their trademark sleek, minimalist packaging. But we also love it because of their cheeky names for their sex toy bundles, like Vibe+Shine, which includes the brand’s trademark three-speed external silicone vibrator and their organic aloe-based lubricant. And if you want to have something on hand to clean yourself at the end, grab the Wash No. 3, a pH-balanced body wash and bubble bath.

BEST FOR BEGINNERS

Dame

Another women-owned company, Dame prides itself on its trademark pastel-colored, fun, body-safe toys and sexual wellness products that are made for people with vulvas. They have plenty of options for solo play, but one of their most unique silicone vibrators is a hands-free couples’ toy called the Eva. It stays in place during partnered sex and adds extra clitoral stimulation. And for that alone, it’s a worthy investment. Dame also sells everything from pleasure products like massage oils and candles, lubes, and sexual health and hygiene products.

BEST WOMAN-OWNED

Unbound

You can count on the woman-owned brand Unbound for a full line of brightly colored toys, lubes, and gift sets that are made with your body in mind. The other thing you can depend on them for is discretion: The brand name or items won’t show up on your credit card statement or the boxes the products are shipped in. One of their best-sellers is the Unbound Puff. It’s a waterproof suction vibrator designed for external use that allows you to choose from five different speeds. And when you’re done, store it in this cute, unassuming case until next time!

BEST BEAUTY SITE

Ulta

Ulta is probably not the first place you think to order sex toys online, but the brand recently expanded its offerings to include sexual wellness products. Along with your regular order of mascara and makeup remover, you can add an even more fun purchase to your cart. If you’re looking for a solid beginner vibrator, we highly recommend this VUSH Gloss Bullet Vibrator. You can flip-flop between 10 buzzy settings, easily recharge it in less than two hours, and stick it in your carry-on to use while you travel. For only $40, this is one of our top picks.

BEST TRAVEL PRODUCTS

Wanda

Girls Get Off have the perfect items for wanting pleasure on the go, meaning you can discreetly pack their products on vacation. Their whole mission is about de-stigmatizing female pleasure and focusing on making orgasms easy to talk about (and get)! Their new, ultra-quiet Wanda wand is perfect for beginners and many still learning to embrace pleasure. it has “waterproof and feather-soft coating, to her captivating compatibility with all water-based lubes, including Juicee.”

BEST HIGH-END

LELO

LELO toys are kind of like the Rolls Royce of sex toys. Don’t get us wrong, all of the toys on this list are top quality, but if you want something extra to expand your collection, invest in a LELO toy. The helpful thing about the site itself is that it includes diagrams of how the product can be used to maximize pleasure. This one, the Soraya Wave, is super high-tech rabbit vibrator that uses LELO’s signature WaveMotion technology to simulate “finger-like” motions and thrusting. It’s super-powerful and offers both clitoral and internal G-spot stimulation for a luxe experience you won’t forget.

BEST EXPERT-RECOMMENDED

Lover’s Lane

Lover’s Lane has everything from sex toys of all kinds to lingerie and costumes. They offer web exclusives, both high-end and budget options, as well as top brands including LELO, Fun Factory, We-Vibe, and Womanizer. It’s a store that Trame recommends for being a reputable site with a ton of options. “There are no shortage of reputable sites available, and the best I have found over the years has been Lover’s Lane,” Trame says. “They tick all the boxes, plus have retail locations so if I want to go find an item in person to get a feel for it or ask someone questions, it is helpful.”

BEST FOR LONG-DISTANCE

We-Vibe

We-Vibe specializes in app-controlled toys that are great for those of us in long-distance relationships — or who just love the feeling of giving up a little control in the bedroom. The sleek and tech-savvy toys have found fans around the world, and one of the brand’s bestsellers is the simple yet effective Sync 2. Dubbed “the original couple’s vibrator,” popping in this G-spot and clitoral vibrator gives the power to your partner and their smartphone, plus it’s “whisper-quiet” to keep things discreet.

BEST FOR ALL-NATURAL TOYS

Organic Loven

Organic Loven is a Black woman-founded and -owned shop for sex toys that makes materials the focus. That is, natural and body-safe materials that you can feel comfortable inserting… well, wherever you want to insert them. The brand offers all-natural lubes, vegan condoms, and organic toys, washes, and massage products. This website is also a good one to choose if you’re on a budget, as it’s helpfully split between “Tease Me” toys (under $100) and “Indulge Me” toys (over $100). While they have gifts as varied as sex benches, harnesses, and metal pasties, we recommend the simple but super-satisfying B Swish Bgood Deluxe Infinite, a firm yet soft and flexible vibrator that does just what you want it to.

BEST PLAYFUL TOYS

Lovers

Founded in 1981 by a mother-daughter duo (iconic), Lovers is all about keeping things light, fun, and always sex-positive. That means they offer your classic Rose vibrators, butt plugs, dildos, and the like — but right alongside them are some tasty edible underwear (candy bras and G-strings!), aphrodisiac chocolates, and oral sex spray. Our pick? The innovative SnailVibe, designed to “hit every touchpoint of the vulva” through simultaneous penetration and clitoral stimulation.

BEST FOR VULVAS

Smile Makers

The folks at Smile Makers have vulvas on the mind, and the world is better for it. This brand focuses on bringing sexual wellness front and center — one of their goals is to “make vibrators available in everyday beauty stores” — by offering high-quality, body-safe, vulva-centric toys that bring pleasure by stimulating all the sensitive nerves of that area. We recommend the Self-Exploration bundle, which includes the Firefighter for clitoral play and the Tennis Pro for all the G-spot orgasms you could ask for. Switch between them or work up to trying both at once and thank us later.

BEST CELEB-APPROVED

Bellesa

You might remember Bellesa‘s viral collab with Demi Lovato (which resulted in the cute Demi Wand), but she’s not the only celeb who shows her love for the brand: Ashley Benson, Saweetie, Kerry Washington, and Jameela Jamil have also posed with their cute Bellesa vibes. Many of the smaller toys, including the uber-popular AirVibe, also fit into tiny cases the size of a make-up compact — talk about discreet. The AirVibe also has over 3,000 positive reviews, with shoppers saying they’re “completely amazed” by how good it is. “This toy had me seeing stars,” one person wrote. “I’ve never been able to make myself orgasm like that before.”

BEST AESTHETICS

ZALO

If you’re the kind of person who wants your sex toys to double as statement decorations on your nightstand, ZALO is the shop for you. This brand is dedicated to making all their products gorgeous as well as orgasmic, aiming for an “ornate, eye-catching aesthetic” that includes gold plating and real Swarovski crystals. Why not start with the appropriately-named Queen G-spot vibrator set? It uses pulses to intensify your pleasure, with a curved structure designed to hit all the right nerves — a positively regal experience.

BEST INCLUSIVITY

Cute Little Fuckers

Cute Little Fuckers is more than adorable collection of sex toys with perfect names (Zeep! Jix! Shimmer!). This queer-, trans-, and disabled-owned brand is also all about making pleasure accessible to people of any gender, body, or ability, through sex toys that really do look like toys. Start out with Starsi, a starfish-shaped, gender-inclusive vibrator designed to bring pleasure to every kind of body through 10 different vibrational settings. “The design truly allows for experiencing different sensations from the tips of the star points to the base and more,” one reviewer writes.
