Sex ed may have taught us what not to do when it comes to sex, but what about what we should be doing to enhance our pleasure? We took it upon ourselves to fill the gap in the curriculum and research the best toys, accessories, oils, and other smart products to help you better understand your body and what you like.
A G-spot vibrator that’s easy to handle…
There’s nothing worse than fiddling with a sex toy when you’re already in the groove. This long, flexible Arc vibrator from Dame is specifically designed to help you hit the right spots with ease, thanks to its long stem, squishy, flat head, and two buttons that toggle between intensity and vibration patterns. No wonder we’re always talking about it.
Water-based lubricant with zero parabens or synthetic fragrances…
Lola’s lube is made with plant-based ingredients to mimic your body’s natural moisture. The formula nixes the fake stuff (like synthetic flavors or perfumes) and keeps your pH level balanced. Got sensitive skin? This lube is hypoallergenic and gynecologist-approved. And since it’s water-based, it’s safe to use with condoms.
A luxurious vibrator with sonic waves and cruise control…
Yes, you read that correctly. Lelo’s Sona 2 Cruise saves 20% of its power when you're holding it lightly against your body, then uses that stored power when you push harder. The silicone is engineered to absorb and respond to pulses, sending them right back into the body. Which is basically STEM-talk for a really effing strong motor that intensifies when pressed against you.
A flirty babydoll set…
Leopard print is back, and we’re very here for it. This sheer babydoll slip and matching underwear is equal parts cute and evocative, perfect for a night in alone or with a playmate. The underwire offers just enough support, while the lightweight material is soft and stretchy for added comfort.
A sanitizing spray to keep your toys clean…
Keep sexy, fun times sexy and fun with clean, germ-free toys. This spray can be used on your toys and your hands to keep them sanitized and feeling fresh. It makes cleanup a total breeze and has a light (but not overwhelming) citrus scent.
An arousal oil with CBD…
We love this oil so much, we gave it an award. It’s great for alleviating dryness, boosting your sense of touch, and supporting your and your partner’s overall comfort. While you can’t use it with latex condoms, it is safe for oral and manual play. Plus, you can reapply as many times as you’d like.
An intimacy concierge that will send you toys…
Another award winner. As an Arya subscriber, you’ll get premium quality tools, toys, and accessories delivered monthly. You’ll also get a dedicated concierge who walks you through each item, including scenes and guided journeys for a more interactive experience. It starts with this free quiz.
A cock ring that isn’t just for cocks…
Nearly all of LBDO’s tools look like they belong in an art museum. This vibrating ring in particular has a snug and flexible fit, with a flatter, wider side for vulva stimulation during penetration. It’s waterproof, whisper-quiet, and its sleek, weighted storage case alone makes it worthy of the price tag.
A unique spin on date night…
These scratch-off cards are all about cultivating connection through curiosity and spontaneity. Whether you’re looking to spice up date nights with a long-term partner or connect on a deeper, more sensual level with someone new, these cards will take care of your date activities with interesting prompts and actions. All you have to do is set the date and grab a coin.
Barely-there condoms with extra lube…
These condoms are made with 100% natural, body-safe latex and a hefty amount of lube for a more pleasurable glide. Instead of foil wrappings that can get easily torn or punctured, Smile Makers uses biodegradable peel-and-pop cups to protect and store each condom. Pro tip: subscribe to save 15% (and never run out).
Cleansing wipes for an on-the-go refresh…
You never know when the mood will strike (or when you’ll just need a little refresh down there). That’s why we recommend having these pH-balanced wipes on hand. They’re infused with a light herbal blend that leaves your skin feeling soft and hydrated, without any residue. They’re also hypoallergenic and sensitive skin-friendly.
Mushroom chocolates that support drive, stamina, and pleasure…
No, not those kinds of mushrooms. These chocolates are made with cordyceps mushrooms that can help boost your mood, without making you hallucinate or feel high. The ashwagandha root helps you feel calm, while the cinnamon and cayenne pepper add a little heat to get the blood flowing. Plus, they’re delicious.
Soft handcuffs that aren’t intimidating…
A lot of bondage and BDSM accessories can feel not-so-beginner-friendly. One editor received these Liebe Seele handcuffs in her Arya box and constantly raves about the soft leather material and comfortable fit. They’re on the pricier side, but so worth it.
An external vibrator with broad touch stimulation…
Another editor tested this Ballerina vibrator (in the name of science) and noted its serious kick. It envelops the entire vulva and has two buttons to help you toggle among six speeds and six pulse settings with ease. It’s strong and effective.
