The Round Up: Sex Toys

If you’re new to toys, consider this your starting point. These are intuitive, well-designed pieces that feel good from the first touch. Dame’s Fin slips over your fingers, moving as you do. Smile Makers’ bestselling Firefighter offers something more direct, for when you want clarity over guesswork. Maude’s band is soft, flexible and made to melt seamlessly between bodies, while Ilo’s Pulse Vibe pairs gentle air suction with internal vibration, letting you explore different sensations without overthinking it.

Designed to enhance the moment rather than distract from it, these toys integrate seamlessly into sex. Coco de Mer’s ring is a great place to start – worn at the base of the penis, it creates a low, steady vibration that transfers through both bodies with every movement, adding extra clitoral stimulation without any extra effort. The Remote Plug introduces a more playful dynamic, with gentle pulses that can be controlled from a distance – ideal for building anticipation. The TIANI™ 3 is designed to be worn during sex, with a flexible shape that stays in place while offering internal stimulation alongside consistent external contact, so both sensations build together naturally.

If you’re feeling curious, this is where to experiment with new sensations and materials. The Unbound Gem, made from smooth glass, feels cool on first touch before warming against the skin, and its weight adds a subtle pressure that’s different from silicone. It’s ideal for slow, teasing movements or incorporating into foreplay. The G-Kii is shaped to target both the G-spot and clitoris at the same time – best used gradually, letting the curve find what feels good rather than rushing it. LELO’s Soraya beads offer a more progressive experience, where the focus is on gradual build and especially on removal, when sensation peaks. Meanwhile, the Dill-E keeps things grounded with a more classic shape, designed for steady, controlled pressure.

This is where things become more exciting – and ultimately more rewarding. The Womanizer Next and Sona 2 both use air pulse technology to stimulate without direct contact, creating a deeper, more diffused sensation that builds gradually. Think slow, rhythmic waves rather than surface-level vibration. Dame’s Pom, by contrast, is all about control – small, soft and perfectly weighted in the palm, it lets you play with pressure, rhythm and pace exactly as you please. For something fuller, the Com wand delivers broad, rolling vibrations – ideal for taking your time before settling into something more intense.

Chic, discreet and as good-looking as they are effective, these are the toys you’ll want within reach. Frenchie’s Petit Eiffel is sculptural and minimal but still delivers precise, targeted stimulation when you want something focused. Coco de Mer’s Muse bullet is small, smooth and quietly powerful – ideal for quick, direct stimulation or slipping between bodies during sex. The Oh Collective’s vibrator has a softer, curved shape that sits comfortably in the hand and glides easily across the body, making it perfect for slower, more relaxed use. Then there’s The Aspen by Vacation Vibes – slim, understated and easy to move between different areas, so you can follow what feels good.
