Our sex writers have tracked down the best luxury sex toys to *seriously* upgrade your sex life
The most extra sex toys of all time...

If, like us here at Cosmo, you've watched White Lotus, and the latest series of The Kardashians, you’ll have a pretty confident grasp of how the other half live. But have you ever wondered how the other half, you know… get off?
We’ll be the first to admit that a solo sesh can work wonders to make you feel like a million bucks. And that’s all well and good — we would never knock that! Considering the cost of living crisis is kicking our asses, splashing out on LELO’s 24-karat G-spot vibrator, clit vibrator, or butt plug is an aspiration, rather than a reality, for most of us (but if you can afford it…why not?).
So there’s a lot to be said for adding affordable sex tech to your collection. Just because the economy isn’t thriving, it doesn’t mean you can’t!
But for many sex toy fans, no matter whether they are ~seasoned~ pros or absolute beginners, it's worth investing that little bit extra. In fact, according to the BedBible Research Center, 40% of folks stateside have spent over $100 (around £79) in the last 12 months on sex toys.
Should you be looking to recreate a truly luxurious masturbating experience, however, your same old vibrator or dildo you’ve had since you were at uni is probably not going to cut it. For when you’re in pursuit of a wank that has you fizzing like a freshly opened bottle of Moet, our sex writers have curated an extremely premium and exclusive round-up of the best luxury sex toys that provide a nice big bang for your hard-earned buck. You’re welcs.
Best luxury sex toys at a glance
What is a luxury sex toy?
While making time for ourselves is (we would argue) luxury in and of itself, sometimes you want a buzzy gadget that reflects just how much you value your pleasure. If you’re looking to level up your sex tech, it’s time to pay attention to the finer details, explains Holly Jackson, co-founder of SheSpot.
“Luxury sex toys are designed to feel as good in your hand as they do on your body — think velvety-soft, medical-grade silicone, sleek aluminium accents, and in some cases, even solid gold or silver finishings,” Jackson tells Cosmopolitan UK. “They often feature whisper-quiet motors and cutting-edge tech for deeper, more rumbly vibrations. Most are waterproof, have multiple settings and intensities to explore, and come with chic extras — like a silky pouch or a faux leather case.”
And, if you’re paying a premium for a sex toy that’s a little *extra*, you’re going to expect it to last for longer than your basic vibe. That’s why luxury sex toys often come with a warranty that lasts three years or more, Jackson adds.
Are luxury sex toys worth it?
If at this point you’re wondering what the point is of spending however much extra on a product that essentially does the same thing — fairsies. But you truly get what you paid for with luxury sex toys, assures Jackson. “Luxury sex toys are absolutely worth it, especially if you care about quality, consistency, and experience,” she says.
“A luxury toy isn’t just about fancy packaging; it’s built to perform, with high-end motors that deliver deep, rumbly vibrations that cheaper, buzzy toys just can’t match.”
Plus, you can masturbate safe in the knowledge that your toy isn’t going to die on you. We don’t mean because luxury sex toys are equipped with some magical never-ending battery (but someone invent this, we beg), but simply because they’re built to last — and if they don’t, they oftentimes come with a warranty so you can ask for a replacement. Phew!
What to look for when buying a luxury sex toy
As we’ve said time and time again, there are a ton of features to think about when buying a sex toy: the material, what kind of stimulation you like, its power, and features. But that’s even more crucial when you’re spending a considerable chunk of cash on it.
“Start with what feels good — do you love clitoral stimulation, G-spot pressure, or blended vibes?” Jackson advises considering. Prefer a spot of partnered play? Well, you'll want a couples' toy you can use together in the boudoir. Loooove the feeling of being eaten out? Try a clit sucker on for size! Just make sure you read up on the different types of toys out there and what they all mean — you can even check out our handy A-Z of sex toy language.
Then on the quality, Jackson recommends: “Check the materials (body-safe is non-negotiable), motor quality, and whether it’s waterproof. The best toys look and feel luxe and perform like a dream. Read reviews, opt for a trusted brand, look for a decent warranty, and choose the one that feels exciting just to look at!”
