Sexual pleasure is personal, and the right toy is the one that feels right to you, not the one that’s trending. The products listed below are ones we stock.
Small, discreet, powerful. Perfect for targeted clitoral stimulation and travel.
Broad head and strong, wide vibrations. They were originally designed for massage.
Curved or angled tip designed for the front wall of the vagina, which some people find pleasurable.
Shaped specifically for external stimulation, often air-pulse designs or tongue-shaped.
Dual stimulation, one part inside, one part outside.
All in stock, UK-sourced, and available with discreet delivery.
Silicone, stainless steel and glass are non-porous materials, which are easier to clean and less likely to harbour bacteria than porous ones (Suffolk Sexual Health Service). There is no sex-toy-specific standard behind terms such as “body-safe” or “medical-grade”: a 2025 BSI proposal for a new international standard notes that there are currently no international standards or regulations specifically for these products (BSI), so check the maker’s stated materials and instructions.
⚠️ Take care with: jelly rubber and other porous materials. Porous toys can retain bacteria even after cleaning, so it is best to use them with a condom and not to share them (Suffolk Sexual Health Service).
Noise, charging and water resistance vary between products, so check the maker’s figures:
Follow this checklist to find the right starting point:
First-time buyer?
Start simple: a bullet vibrator or a small silicone toy, budgeting around £15–£30. Once you know what you like, you can move on.
Know your preferences? Choose your focus: clitoral, internal, or blended stimulation. A higher price does not always mean better quality, so check the materials and the maker’s instructions.

Before use: Read the maker’s instructions, then wash with warm water and mild, unscented soap or a toy cleaner, and dry thoroughly (SH:24).
First time: Take your time, start on the lowest setting, and explore what feels good without expectations.
Lubrication: Water-based lubricant is the safest choice for most toys, but always follow the maker’s instructions: LELO, Svakom and We-Vibe all say to use only water-based lubricant with their toys, and silicone lubricant can damage some silicone toys (Suffolk Sexual Health Service). Oil-based lubricant should not be used with latex condoms (NHS).
After use: Wash again with warm water and mild soap. Store somewhere cool, dry, and private.
Sharing and safety: Infections can be passed on through sex toys. The NHS advises not sharing them, or washing them and covering them with a new condom before anyone else uses them (NHS; Brook). Stop using a toy if it hurts or irritates, as the makers’ instructions advise.
