How to choose the right luxury sex toy for you
According to Gigi Engle, a certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and sex expert at the LGBTQIA+ dating app Taimi, the best way to decide what you want in a luxury sex toy is to work out what you want in a sex toy more generally.
The best way to do that? Testing it out for yourself, perhaps on a lower-cost vibe to begin with. “I'd suggest purchasing toys that are in a more reasonable price point first,” Engle explains. “You want to be sure you're absolutely positive that the kind of toy you're investing in is one you enjoy using.”
However, there are deffo some more general tips you can use to help you buy the luxury sex toy of your dreams. First of all — and this one may sound easy, but it's easy to forget — make sure you properly and fully read the specifications. How many settings does it have? What is it made of (note to self: avoid rubber, vinyl, PVC and jelly-like the plague)? Does it have any special bells and whistles (does it warm up? Is it remote-controlled? Is it dual-motor?)?
And what size/length/width is it? Asking yourself some of these questions will help align your expectations, and be sure to look around various models so you get a sense of what added value your luxury sex toy offers in relation to cheaper products.
Secondly, think about the type of stimulation you most enjoy and let that guide your choice of luxury sex toy. Prefer a spot of partnered play? Well, you'll want a couple's 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.
How we test the best luxury sex toys
Testing, testiiiing! When it came to researching this gorgeous array of luxury sex toys, we tapped our experienced team of sex writers — as well as some very enthusiastic volunteers from across the Cosmo office.
In the name of serious, journalistic rigour, testers roped in partners (including FWBs) to road-test the best luxury partnered sex toys. Across solo and partnered play, a variety of positions were tested, bc you know, research. While the big O isn’t everything — and acknowledging that some folks can’t climax, or experience difficulty in doing so — orgasms were aimed for in each instance.
Each tester has a vulva and clitoris but, reflecting the diversity of our audience, they identify across the gender spectrum and identify with a range of LGBTQIA+ labels. After we ensured that everyone had a generous supply of water-based lube, testers checked out every function and feature across battery life, noise level and settings.
