Aurelia Lingerie Subscription Box for $85 (Monthly): A monthly lingerie subscription box is sure to keep things spicy. This small, Canadian-based lingerie retailer has human-curated lingerie subscription boxes and size-inclusive lingerie (they carry bra sizes A-M and panties XS-4XL). When beginning the lingerie subscription service, you fill out a style quiz that asks you a series of questions about style preferences and a human stylist creates a unique box for you or your lover. The box also comes with a guide on how to measure your cup size, with troubleshooting tips, a measuring tape, and a zippered net case for washing the delicates.
Underclub Subscription Box for $35 (Underwear): With Underclub, you can give both a practical and sexy gift to your lover every month. Subscribers can choose between a bralette set with a matching top and bottom or two pairs of underwear bottoms delivered each month. When you sign up, you’ll be asked a series of questions about your personal preferences and a stylist will curate an underwear box for you. The bra sizes range from XS to 2XL, 30 to 42 inches in band size, and A-DD.
Lelo Sona 2 Cruise for $112: We once called this “the Cadillac of suction toys” in our Best Clitoral Suction Toys guide. It’s small and discreet, and can be as gentle or as intense as you like. It has an elegant, curvy body with chrome accents that make it stylish enough to look good on your nightstand. The “Cruise” part of the name refers to Lelo’s Cruise Control technology, which makes the toy ramp up intensity when you press it hard against your body. —Eric Ravenscraft
Lovense Gravity for $144: Vibrators can provide a lot of fulfilling stimulation, but one thing most of them lack is thrust. This vibrator from Lovense straddles the line between vibrator and sex machine (which is why it earns a spot in our Best Sex Machines guide), with a motor for automated thrust as well as vibration. It comes with a suction-cup mount, and it can also be controlled through the company’s robust mobile app for easier remote control or to customize thrust and vibration patterns. —Eric Ravenscraft
Dame Pom Flexible Vibrator for $95: A mainstay in our Best Vibrators guide, the Dame Pom Flexible Vibrator is a little powerful handheld vibe that’s also gorgeous and intuitively designed. It has the power you’d expect from a bullet vibe, but the added silicone body diffuses the vibrations through a broad area for a unique experience. Not only is it easy to hold and operate one-handed, but it also fits neatly in the palm of most hands. All the buttons are right where your fingers land naturally. —Eric Ravenscraft
MysteryVibe Crescendo 2 for $230: This flexible, bendable vibrator has six separate motors, all of which can be customized and controlled from its included app. But what sets it apart is its semi-rigid jointed body. You can straighten it out to use for more direct penetration, or curl it up, similar to how one might bend their fingers. It won’t lock into position so some resistance can bend it right back, but it’s handy for hitting some of those more hard-to-reach spots on and in your body. —Eric Ravenscraft
Lelo Personal Moisturizer Water-Based Lube for $22: This water-based lube tops our Best Lubes guide. It’s a bit pricier per ounce than others, but it’s worth it. Many lubes get sticky or thick pretty quickly, but Lelo’s manages to stay fluid and smooth throughout playtime. It’s also paraben- and glycerine-free, which is great for people with skin sensitivities. —Eric Ravenscraft
Lelo Hex Condoms for $23: We’ve tested a bunch of condoms, and the Lelo Hex was our top pick. The same company that makes some of our favorite sex toys also makes very sturdy condoms. They have a stylish hexagonal pattern that Lelo claims makes the condoms sturdier, and they didn’t break as easily as others in our tests. It’s also one of the most comfortable condoms I’ve worn, with the hexagon pattern helping to add a bit of grip to prevent slippage. —Eric Ravenscraft
