From Samantha’s shower head to Charlotte’s rabbit: every sex toy in Sex and the City

... and where to buy them 🐰

By , ,
variety of sex toys in different colours on patterned background

If, like us, your find yourself quoting Sex and the City on the reg — then this sex toy round-up is for you. While we know the show’s most memorable lines (read: “I’m sorry, I can’t — don’t hate me”) like the back of our hand, during a recent re-watch we couldn't help but wonder... why has no one reviewed every toy in the show before?

After all, Sex and the City is the franchise that made the Rampant Rabbit famous. It gave us the scene that inspired us to toy with our shower heads. And introduced us to the characters who prove it’s perfectly acceptable to spend the *whole* day masturbating. Today’s Sex and the City bus tour even stops at the Pleasure Chest in New York’s West Village, so we really owe it to fans to do the sex toys in the show justice, don’t you think?

With that in mind, we’ve rounded up every sex toy (and every sex toy inspired by the iconic show). And, sorry purists, but we’ve also included a few bits from And Just Like That. Whether it’s the famous rabbit to the handcuff gift basket in season six, here’s our take on how Carrie, Miranda, Samantha, and Charlotte got their kicks in the show — and how you can get yours, too.

Best rabbit vibrator

G-Spot Stroking Rampant Rabbit

G-Spot Stroking Rampant Rabbit
Now 30% Off
Credit: Ann Summers

Pros

  • Waterproof
  • Waving motion at the tip
  • 10 vibration settings
  • USB rechargeable

Cons

  • You may become a hermit
  • High price point for a rabbit

Obviously we had to kick off this list with the most iconic toy from the most iconic episode — cut to Carrie and Miranda having to stage an intervention after Charlotte discovers the Rampant Rabbit.

This isn’t the exact one Charlotte uses because rabbits have come a long way since Ann Summers introduced them to the UK in the 90s, but this modern take still does what a rabbit was intended to do: stimulate both your G-spot and clit at the *same time*.

The best bit about this toy? That it doesn’t just vibrate, it targets the G-spot with a waving motion. Sublime.

Features10 vibration settings, moving head (with tip designed to stimulate G-spot), and vibrating 'ears' to stimulate the clitoris

Best dildo

Lovehoney BASICS Glow In the Dark Realistic Suction Cup Dildo

Glow In the Dark Realistic Suction Cup Dildo

Pros

  • Suction base
  • Waterproof
  • Ideal for beginners

Cons

  • Not compatible with silicone lube
  • Realistic detailing can make it harder to clean

Remember Miranda’s surprisingly realistic pink dildo, complete with veins and all? This one from Lovehoney has a suction base to keep it secure while you use it, and even glows in the dark so it won’t — erm — get lost?

This 6-inch lover is an updated version of Miranda’s phallic BFF but it’s pretty much the same in terms of shape and function — if it ain’t broke, right?

This dildo is made from PVC but doesn’t contain phthalates (which can be toxic) or latex (a common allergen). PVC is, however, porous, which means that it can harbour bacteria more than silicone toys, so we recommend using a fresh condom with this one for each use.

FeaturesGlow-in-the-dark, suction cup, harness compatible, six inches with fives inches of insertable length and realistic detailing
In the boxNo added extras
MaterialPVC
WaterproofSubmersible
PowerA manual toy powered by horniness

Best wand

Lovehoney Doxy Extra Powerful Wand Massager

Doxy Extra Powerful Wand Massager

Pros

  • Ultra powerful
  • Ergonomic handle (hold tight)
  • Latex and Phthalate free (common allergens)

Cons

  • Not waterproof (duh, it's mains powered)
  • Needs an adaptor if you're travelling

Wands are another iconic toy that show up several times throughout the show. Samantha even uses hers to soothe Miranda’s fussy baby when his vibrating chair stops working.

If you’re looking to discover the magic of wands, this Doxy is one of our favourites. It’s simple to use and extremely powerful, thanks to the mains power cord.

These wands, in particular, are touted as the world’s strongest wand vibrator and are designed to be 30% more powerful than a standard Hitachi.

They’re made in Cornwall in the UK and the carefully cast 6cm metal head is enveloped in smooth medical quality silicone. Enjoy!

FeaturesHigh power, rumbly vibrations, and pulsation setting

Best for pleasure pegging

Bondara Climax Hunter 7 Function Remote Control Strap-On

Pros

  • 7 inches of fun to play with
  • Adjustable harness (up to 60 inch waist)
  • Remote control operation
  • Suction cup dildo can be removed for play in other places

Cons

  • Only pleasures one at a time
  • Battery-powered remote control is not waterproof

Promising pegging perfection, this strap-on from Bondara is designed to target your G-spot with every stroke. For that you can thank the vibrating dildo, which is tapered for precise internal stimulation. Oh, and did we mention there’s seven vibration settings to choose from?

It definitely seems like orgasms are guaranteed — although we can’t guarantee your partner won’t perform a mean-spirited stand up set about the experience like Che did after hooking up with Miranda in And Just Like That... brutal.

Features7-inch detachable dildo, adjustable harness
MaterialBody-safe silicone

Best sex swing

Bondara Black Plush Over the Door Sex Swing

Bondara Black Plush Over the Door Sex Swing

Pros

  • Holds 100kg
  • Extra padding for comfort
  • Handles for extra grip (most swings have cuffs)

Cons

  • Can be uncomfortable with a door against your back

You haven’t had sex until you’ve had it in a leather sex swing, according to Samantha. But — while we stan Samantha for always being a sex-positive icon — if you’re new to the adventures of sex swings, we suggest opting for one a bit softer (and cheaper).

This one from Bondara comes with adjustable straps and is easy to set up (just hang the bars over your door basically, no DIY needed).

We would, of course, say that it’s worth taking care when engaging with any kind of BDSM (even BDSM lite) — be sure to read our guide to BDSM and discuss any boundaries and expectations beforehand.

FeaturesSecured by the door jamb (no ceiling hooks necessary), soft against the skin, BDSM restraints
In the boxAdjustable sex swing with cuffs and restraints
MaterialNylon, Soft Plush, Plastic
WaterproofNot water resistant but can get wet
PowerWhat it lacks in power it makes up for in sexiness

Best wand attachment

Lovehoney Deluxe Wand Silicone G-Spot Head Attachment

Deluxe Wand Silicone G-Spot Head Attachment

Pros

  • Curved shaft for G-spot stimulation
  • Submersible (but your wand may not be)
  • Latex and Phthalate free

Cons

  • Only compatible with certain sizes of wand

Want to add an extra kick to your wand like Samantha did to try to rekindle her ability to orgasm? Try out this G-Spot head attachment from Lovehoney.

This one also has gentle ridges to provide even more clitoral stimulation. The curve in the shaft is perfect for hitting all the right spots and delivering powerful rumbles to your most sensitive areas.

Naturally, the power and quality of the sensual experience depends on what type of wand you attach it to. In short, the more powerful the wand = the more powerful the G-spot stimulation when you add this G-spot attachment.

FeaturesTargeted for G-spot stimulation, featuring texture for clitoral stimulation
In the boxNo added extras
MaterialSilicone
WaterproofSubmersible (but your wand vibe might not be)
PowerDepends on the power of your wand!

Best handcuffs

Bondara Luxe Sugar Rush Rainbow Glitter Handcuffs

Sugar Rush Rainbow Glitter Handcuffs

Pros

  • Vegan
  • Adjustable cuff size
  • 10-inch gold chain for flexibility

Cons

  • Not padded inside

When Samantha finds her date has chained himself up in a mini-BDSM closet, we get a little glimpse at his, honestly quite impressive, stash — including handcuffs. While his weren’t pink, we love these cute rainbow cuffs from Bondara.

And of course, we can’t forget: “I brought you a basket filled with goodies to acquaint you with your new neighbourhood. Cheese, condoms, handcuffs.”

“Handcuffs?”

“From the bar next door. Enjoy.”

We’ll take one of those gift baskets any day!

(FYI: while these cuffs have smooth oil edging to avoid them from scratching or digging into the skin, they don’t have padding so they can be uncomfortable).

FeaturesEasy to use adjustable buckle straps, detachable connecting chain, and smooth oil edging
In the boxCuffs and detachable connecting chain
MaterialPU
WaterproofSplash-proof, but we would avoid submerging under water as PU is porous
PowerIt's a manual accessory but you'll *feel* plenty powerful when using these on a partner

Best flogger

Bondara Ace of Hearts Double Ended Flogger & Crop

Ace of Hearts Double Ended Flogger & Crop

Pros

  • Two toys in one
  • Vegan
  • Soft flogger

Cons

  • Won't soften over time like leather

Also in said closet was a black leather flogger. This one from Bondara is a little bit less intimidating if you’re just dipping your toes into BDSM. The cute little heart is as practical as it is pretty — doubling as a crop.

Channel your inner dominatrix and get to whippin’ — just be sure to start off gently and gradually increase the pressure. Check out our safe guide to kink if you’re not sure.

This crop is made from PU and ABS, so while it is vegan (important), it’s not as soft as leather and won’t get more pliable over time.

FeaturesDouble ended flogger and crop in the shape of Ace of Hearts
In the boxNo added extras
MaterialPU and ABS
WaterproofSplash-proof, but we would avoid submerging under water as PU is porous
PowerWhat it lacks in power, it makes up for in *power play*

Best for shower masturbation

Womanizer Wave Stimulation Shower Head

Wave Stimulation Shower Head

Pros

  • 2-in-1 function
  • Ergonomic shape
  • Uses less water than normal shower heads
  • Easy installation (no awkward chats with the plumber needed)

Cons

  • You'll need to swap shower heads each time you use it
  • Only comes in chrome

Would it be the 90s if there wasn’t a joke made about women using their shower heads to get off? In SATC, it’s Samantha (of course) who takes the plunge.

Thankfully, there’s now a shower head designed specifically with masturbation in mind — the Womanizer Wave. It features a range of pressures and settings specifically for pleasure.

Specifically, this shower head/toy is fitted with three settings (PleasureJet/PleasureWhirl/PowderRain), an intensity slider, and an easy switch to help you move between them all.

This toy is also designed to use less water, making is a surprisingly eco-friendly toy.

What a time to be alive!

FeaturesA top-of-the-range shower head with three water heads that doubles as a clit massager, with an ergonomic shape
In the boxWomanizer Wave shower head, sieve seal, quick start guide, safety information

Best riding crop

Retribution Lace up Riding Crop

Retribution Lace up Riding Crop

Pros

  • Vegan leather
  • Wrist strap

Cons

  • Won't soften over time like real leather

Other than the rabbit, a riding crop is one of only two toys that sex columnist Carrie is seen with throughout the entirety of Sex and the City. We’re not sure how she managed to only have a “goodie drawer” in her home, given the amount of toys (and lubes...and restraint accessories) *we’ve* managed to accumulate as sex writers.

Maybe she gave her toys away to make space in that apartment for shoes, lord knows, she needed the closet space! Or maybe the new apartment with Big came complete with sex toy storage too — guess we’ll never know.

FeaturesStylish lace up handle with weaved satin finish on the stem
In the boxNo added extras
MaterialFaux leather
WaterproofFaux leather is water resistant but we wouldn't recommend repeatedly getting it wet
PowerA manual toy, but one that helps you to connect to your *inner* power
