9 Sex Toys for Singles and Couples to Enjoy on Valentine’s Day and Beyond
Whether you’re in a couple or riding solo this Valentine’s Day, there has never been a better time to enhance your sexual wellness. Choosing the right sex toy can be equal parts exciting and overwhelming, and just like shopping for home pieces, doing some research is key. Whether you’re shopping alone or with a partner, it’s important to ask some preliminary questions: Are you looking for a product to help one or both of you overcome a challenge, dive deeper into a kink, or explore something new? Do you want to target a specific area of the body or a particular kind of sensation? While shopping, read the descriptions and reviews thoroughly, and take note of any accessories you may need to pair with your new toy, as well as how to care for it. And lastly, before you hop into bed, make sure you and your partner are on the same page about consent. Emotional security is just as important as physical sensation.
This may seem like a lot, but you’ll be grateful for the preparedness when it comes time to, ahem, get busy. To get things started, we’ve rounded up some toys suitable for solo and partner play for people of all genders — trust me, there’s something for everyone on this list.
Note: The industry often takes a gender-rigid approach to marketing sex toys, but I’m using anatomically correct language to be inclusive to all identities.
