Just a round-up of the best online sex shops

Bondara is another of our favourite one-stop-shop for everything sextech, lingerie, and bondage. They cater to every budget and level of experience, from affordable beginners vibrators to high-end, high-tech toys and machines.

In our opinion, they’re one of the best all-rounders for bondage and BDSM gear that’s affordable and accessible. We especially love their beginner kits, like this faux-leather bondage set.

They always have some great Black Friday deals too...

LELO makes some of our favourite luxury sex toys like, ever — all with the same flair for design and soft-to-the-touch silicone.

Head over to their official site and you can browse all of their iconic styles, several of which appear in our round-up of the best sex toys of all time (spoiler: you might just spot the SONA Cruise clit sucker on that list and, ahem, many others). In case you couldn’t already tell, we’re big fans.

Don’t forget to check out their Black Friday and Valentine’s deals, too.

Singapore-based Smile Makers is another of our favourite brands, if not for its focus on closing the pleasure gap, then for its brightly coloured vibes and beautiful packaging.

Its website is bursting with info about everything sexual wellness, and the brand gets an extra gold star (or smiley face, as per the stamp on most of its vibrators) for its use of neutral shapes and language to make toys as accessible as possible.

Our faves are The Ballerina (a squidgy soft pebble clit vibrator) and The Romantic, a ravishing red G-spot vibe — if we had to choose. But, honestly, we’d gladly accept anything the brand makes just to touch that silky soft silicone and get yet another fun bum-shaped sticker or satin storage pouch.

If you haven’t heard of Bellesa from its female-centred porn videos, or seen its AirVibe held in the hands of pretty much every major female influencer and celebrity on Instagram — trust us, you need to get to know it, stat!

While we're usually suspicious of anything so Instagrammable, the Canada-based website boasts an impressive and ever-growing collection of sex toys, bondage gear, and accessories — all for very reasonable prices considering they deliver on both enviable packaging and quality.

Our recent faves (to name a few) are its Whisper collection (including a vibe, rabbit, and bullet), as well as its ThermoVibe (perfect for temperature play fans...), and Mini FlutterWand.

The brand even has its own line of more affordable sex toys — BB Outlet — in an effort to make pleasure more accessible to everyone. Unreal!

Feeling overwhelmed by the sheer choice of it all? Female-founded SheSpot takes the confusion out of buying pleasure products with its curated selection of sex toys, lubes, condoms, and adult ‘literature’ (if you know what we mean...).

Its easy-to-navigate site breaks down the products any which way you could want — from sex toy types to intimate arousal oils, or products for beginners, mums, couples, and more.

Always impressively packaged and bang on trend, this shop stocks small and new sexual wellness brands you might not have come across, as well as larger ones like LELO and Smile Makers. It even does some fun collabs, like this limited edition engraved vibrator produced with Love Not War.

Plus, it has recently launched its subscription box, so you can get a personalised selection of goodies delivered straight to your door every three months.

So we all know that being in an LDR (aka long distance relationship, if you’re not so hot on the lingo) can be hard.

Thankfully, some tech experts have worked out ways to make all that time apart easier on our sex lives. Chief among these are the people over at We Vibe, the company behind pioneering remote — or app — controlled vibrators.

Its Chorus and Sync couples vibrators are a favourite at Cosmo, and among sex toy fans, too.

Loved by adult content creators, Lovense creates powerful app-controlled vibrators for a range of bodies that can be controlled from anywhere in the world.

While We-Vibe is best for long distance relationships, Lovense’s USP is that its toys can be connected to, and therefore controlled by, an unlimited number of people (although we’re not here to tell you what to do with your toys). The Lush 4 G-spot vibrator is quieter than a literal library, too, so it’s ideal if you’re living in a house share.

And that’s not all — all of the brand’s toys connect to its app, which allows you to customise an unlimited (you heard that right) number of patterns, so basically you have no excuse to ever get bored. But if you’re ever tempted, its penis massager can be connected to your choice of video game to control the characters with your strokes. Cool!

Ricky may not be as well known as some of the other sex toy brands, but it’s one of our faves. For starters, it’s the only brand currently offering a vibrator Easter Egg — and what more could you want than sex and chocolate?

Encasing a vibrator in chocolate isn’t the only innovative product from sex toy brand Ricky – they’ve got a whole site full of ’em. Cheeky and fun, this online sex shop offers vibes of all shapes and sizes, sex toys for men, lubes, condoms, and accessories you might not have tried before, like vagina pumps.

Personally, we’re big fans of the Ultimate Wand Massager.

Wet for Her is a sex toy shop for the queer community, describing itself as “by lesbians for the LGBTQIA+ community” and it has everything you need to explore queer sex: from strap-ons, harnesses, and even a range of gender-affirming sex toys.

We love their harness and dildo sets — perfect for anyone wanting to trying out topping or strap-ons for the first time.

Kandid is behind one of the best rabbit vibrators on the market — a toy they’ve dubbed ‘The Unforgettable One’ thanks to its twin motors, sleek design, and potential for mind-blowing blended orgasms.

Describing itself as “a sexual wellness company on a mission to take the stigma out of sex toys for everyone”, Kandid is home to different vibrators, kegel balls, lubes, sex accessories, and more —all complete with cute packaging and inclusive imagery.

Alongside stocking some of the best make-up and beauty brands, Sephora has secretly built up some serious cred among sex toy fans thanks to its range of vibrators and intimate wellness products from boutique brands like LELO, So Divine, Smile Makers, Dame, and My Viv.

We’re seriously into this hands-free vibrator from Dame, which is perfect for an effortless orgasm.

Another wild card on this list, it turns out that Boots has a pretty amazing sex toy range. With toys from Lovehoney, LELO, Smile Makers, and Durex, it’s a super convenient place to browse vibrators — when you’re done stocking up on other bathroom essentials.

As Boots is, technically, a pharmacists, they have all the sexual health things you need, including a wide range of lube and condoms for everyone at any point on their sexual health journey.

Bonus points for sexual wellness making its way into the mainstream.

Rounding off our list is Cult Beauty, another beauty website that also happens to have an impressive collection of intimate wellness products.

From beginner bullet vibrators, to decadent Coco de Mer sex toys, it’s got you covered, whatever your budget — and has a swanky selection of lubes, supplements, and oils to boot! We’d recommend the discreet seed vibrator by Coco de Mer.

If you love the convenience of picking up your beauty staples and adding a vibrator to basket at the same time, Superdrug is a seriously underrated option.

The high street favourite has quietly expanded its sexual wellness offering in recent years, stocking everything from bullet vibrators and rabbit vibes to lubes, condoms and massage oils.

While it doesn’t have the sheer depth of range you’ll find at specialist retailers like Lovehoney, it’s a great destination for affordable, beginner-friendly toys from trusted brands including Durex, Lovehoney and LELO.

Plus, with discreet home delivery and Click & Collect available, it’s an easy, low-fuss way to upgrade your bedside drawer without overthinking it.
