Adam & Eve

Best: Budget toys and lingerie

Adam & Eve is a go-to for many, and while it’s heavily gendered and a bit more old-fashioned by today’s standards, it’s still a great place to find a deal on basics like butt plugs and lacy lingerie.

Founded in 1971 (making it 50 years old!), Adam & Eve have always aimed to provide a clear, fair, and supportive service, even accepting 100% no-questions-asked on return items when they don’t work out for the buyer. The categories are easy to browse and offer hundreds of product options, and it’s generally easy to find at least some sort of discount on a single product using codes they release through email newsletters and sponsored influencers, so you’ll rarely pay full price for something you’re buying for just the fun of it.

A great product for any first-timers is the Adam & Eve Magic Massager Deluxe. It’s not quite as powerful as the much-loved name brand Magic Wand, but it gets the job done and far outlasts its cheap price tag, perfect for those just starting to experiment.

Lovehoney

Best: All-around

Lovehoney, like others on this list, began out of a desire to see a shift away from old school sex industry standards that centered male pleasure using degrading, aggressive, and off-putting imagery popular in and prior to the 1970s. The company was formed in 2002 by colleagues and friends Neal Slateford and Richard Longhurst using Richard’s personal computer and apartment, and now they ship all over the world in plain brown boxes from warehouses in the U.S., U.K., and Australia.

While they carry everything you’re generally looking for when you click on a sex toy website, Lovehoney also offers helpful advice on everything from “How To Buy Sexy Lingerie For Women” to guides to electro sex and chastity devices. Do a deep dive in this section to discover kinks you didn’t even know you had, then head to the shopping section to pick out a selection of new and exciting toys to explore in your own home.

Overkink

Best: New store

Overkink is a newcomer to the sex store scene, but they’re already making waves and getting talked about by the likes of Cosmo and Allure. Owner Jaycee Chester offers this powerful mission statement on the website:

“Overkink is a 100% black owned, women-owned business. While many people struggle with open sexuality, the black community has long harbored negativity surrounding sex-positive thinking. As a black-owned business, Overkink strives to break that mold and cultivate an openly intimate space to discuss, be curious, and explore.”

You can easily find a number of fun, innovative toys to get you off by searching through Overkink’s offerings (check out buyer fave vibe The Rose), but don’t miss the sex furniture and pole sections for unexpected inspiration to transform your space into something more conducive to an active sex life.

Goop

Best: Luxury toys

Gwyneth Paltrow catches plenty of flack for her silly-named, outrageously overpriced online store/wellness hub/whatever you wanna call it website Goop, but her team knows their stuff when it comes to lavish sex toys.

The offerings are highly curated and each special in their own way, catering to a high-end crowd of big spenders who love sex and want the most out of it at any cost. This doesn’t always translate to prohibitive pricing, however, and plenty of the wares available on Goop are affordable, most clocking in at under $100. Shopper favorites include the currently waitlist-only Vesper Vibrator Necklace (sign up, it’s a must-have) and the stylish Double Sided Wand Vibrator with its kitschy, millennial pink design.

Unbound

Best: Fresh approach to the sex industry

Unbound caught our eye for many reasons, but one was the fun, colorful images that took all the intimidation and ick factor out of sex toy shopping online. While we’re certainly not put off by a more traditional approach, Unbound feels like a store for the next generation who are invested in visually pleasing packaging and toys, body-safe materials in every product, and a welcoming exterior that can help newcomers and experienced aesthetes alike get into the groove in a zero-pressure atmosphere.

There’s also a points program called Area 69. We love a good sex joke built right into our money-saving plans, and you can start earning points right away by simply signing up as a member–nice.

Skyn keeps it simple and straight to the point with their products: condoms, lubricants, and massagers.

Please

Best: Small Business

“We are committed to changing the way society views sex and sexuality by promoting conversations that are transparent, truthful and non-judgmental,” say the owners behind Please, Brooklyn’s premiere educational and somewhat bougie sex toy store. Located in the hip, cozy South Slope neighborhood, Please’s brick-and-mortar store is the perfect place to browse casually in a freeing space while also receiving any advice or information you like without feeling embarrassed or judged.

They carry a wide range of toys with everything from vibrators and position boosters to gender expression tools like packers and pumps. You can also grab something innocuous like a greeting card that offers a teensy bit of edge to your run-of-the-mill holiday greeting.
