Cheap sex toys that are actually incredible

Because your sexual pleasure shouldn’t have to break the bank

By , and
cheap sex toys under £30pinterest

Sex toys are life-changing, magical things. But, at the same time, not everyone can afford to drop £100 or more on a fancy-ass vibrator. (Damn you, cozzy livs). While an expensive product is obviously going to be next-level, let’s not forget the cheaper toys on the market that can be just as fire. All you need to do is know where to look and what to look out for.

Usually, the cheapest sex toys will be made from ‘jelly rubber’, PVC, or TPE. There’s a lot of debate around these materials, and it’s not totally agreed upon whether they’re safe, as many of these toys contain toxic chemicals. With that in mind, it’s best to avoid these materials to be safe — so always check the product details before buying. Unless you use a condom on the sex toy and change it every time. But sometimes, that can just be extra hassle...

Jelly toys, for example, are porous, which means they can’t be thoroughly cleaned. Instead, if you can, try and go for silicone, ceramic, metal, or glass toys, as these are generally considered to be ‘body-safe’.

Best cheap sex toys

Where can I buy cheap sex toys?

Just like you wouldn’t use dodgy skincare products, it’s important to apply the same thought process to sex toys. You’d likely avoid buying a moisturiser loaded with added fragrance or alcohol even if it was cheap, so why would you purchase a vibrator made from chemicals that *definitely* shouldn’t go anywhere near your genitals?

If you’re on a budget, it can be easy to put these thoughts to the back of your mind and adopt a ‘f**k it’ attitude, especially if the best sex toys you’ve seen have been pricey. But, as we said before, research is key, and to avoid upsetting your privates, you need to ensure the materials used are body-friendly.

Reputable retailers like Lovehoney and Ann Summers have scores of differently priced products available — all of which are safe to use and can offer you just as good of a time as a sex toy that’s double or triple the price. Sellers like these live by the mantra that orgasms should be accessible, not just reserved for those who can afford to spend hundreds of pounds. So you want our advice? Make sure you always buy your sex toys from companies or manufacturers who know what they’re doing. Plus, you can always keep an eye out for sales, too. You never know what kind of discount you might bag!

Another thing to be aware of is dupes. These are cheaper, counterfeit products designed as replicas of more expensive, trustworthy items. In most cases, they can be poorly made, hence the smaller price tag, and can stop working mid-flow. And, at worst, they can be seriously bad for your body — both inside and out. If you’re considering buying a dupe from a third-party seller, please stop and read the product details first. Any materials that jump out at you and make you think, ‘Do I really want this near my genitals?’ should be an automatic no.

Instead, take it out of your basket and pick up one of these cheap sex toys. Here are some of the best affordable picks for £30 and under...

Best mini wand

Lovehoney Micro Magic Wand Vibrator

Micro Magic Wand Vibrator
Pros
  • Light-weight and portable
  • Flexible head for targeted stimulation
Cons
  • Battery powered — with a short run time
  • Not waterproof
  • Only 3 settings

Wand vibrators are known for their power… which means they’re usually loud AF. So not ideal if you’re house-sharing or still living with your parents. But, Lovehoney has listened to the people and given us what we want: a scaled-back, battery-powered version of their infamous magic wand which is quiet but still packs a punch.

Due to its mini size, it’s not remotely as intimidating as most wands out there. It also means you can keep it discreetly in your bedside drawer or pack it in your hand luggage to add to those good holiday vibes...

It has 3 speeds and feels great when held against the clitoris or moved around your entire vulva. Because of its mini size, it’s not rechargeable (it requires AAA batteries) and isn’t waterproof.
