Ok, so maybe this time of year doesn’t scream sex as much as it screams stress. But you know what can help ease some of that stress? Orgasms. In order to help guarantee you have your and yours have your fair share, you’ll need the proper equipment (and we’re not just talking about the piece attached to you). What you’ll find below are sex necessities — from high-end vibrators to lubes to sex pillows to even more vibrating toys — that’ll enhance your sex life, and make sure you and your partner get where you need to go.
Which is really the beauty of giving a sexy gift. It’s just as much a gift for you as it is a gift for the person receiving it. Just maybe plan your gift exchange before the family holiday party.
the maudern kit
Sexual wellness company get maude is rebranding the sex space with products you may actually want to be seen with. Seriously, their entire site looks like a Muji store for your genitals. That being said, you can browse the site for what you need, or you can purchase the maudern kit, which includes a mix of the brand’s best-selling products: the vibe personal massager, an 8-ounce bottle of organic shine lubricant, a pack of 10 easy-open, ultra-thin lubricated latex condoms, hand-harvested soak bath salts and a creamy coconut milk bath blend.
Vesper Vibrator
An elegant necklace that just so happens to be a strong, slim vibrator. Perfectly discreet and an ingenious travel companion, this vibrator will look good on the chain, and feel even better off.
Tease and Please
WeVibe has packaged two of their best-selling, highly-acclaimed sex toys on the market right now in one premium collection: the Womanizer Premium and WeVibe Sync. The first uses Womanizer’s unique Pleasure Air Technology, stimulating the clitoris with pleasant suction and gentle vibrations, that of course, can be turned up a few notches. While the Sync is designed to be enjoyed as a couple, the hands-free vibrator fits your shape and gives her powerful stimulation to her clitoris and G-spot while you both enjoy the vibes. And you can even use the free We-Connect app to mess around together, even when you’re apart.
Journelle Lingerie
Made from delicate emerald lace, this seasonally appropriate set from New York-based luxury lingerie brand Journelle includes the ‘Isabel’ bra, which features soft cups with underwiring for support, a lace and tulle thong and matching suspender belt.
Transformer
This double-ended vibrator dubbed the Transformer, quite literally, transforms into whatever you need it to be. It’s a rabbit vibe, a clitoral massager, a cock-ring, a G-spot stimulator, a prostate massager and more. You (and your partner) control its destiny.
Clitoral Jolt Gel
Jolt Gel contains organic extracts, peppermint oil, natural damiana, L-Arginine and L-Ornithine to increase blood flow to the clitoris. This little packet of gel is truly a game-changer, and if you don’t believe us, may we direct you to the reviews.
Eva II — Hands-Free Vibrator
Like the WeVibe Sync above, the Eva II from female-focused sexual wellness brand Dame Products is a hands-free clitoral stimulating vibrator that can be used during penetrative sex. The difference is that this little guy tucks under her labia for a snug, comfortable fit and is perfect for those more adventurous positions, or some solo-play.
Wild Wolf Leatherwork
If you’re looking to upgrade those $10 plastic handcuffs you got off Amazon (and you should be), look no further than Wild Wolf Leatherwork. The company specializes in handcrafted leather collars, cuffs and harnesses that are measured and constructed to fit your (or your partner’s) body perfectly. So not only are you getting a gorgeous piece of leather, you’re getting a highly functional one as well.
Luxe Core Sheet Set
While we don’t wanna make assumptions about where exactly you get it on, we’re gonna bet that a lot of it happens in a bed. A bed that needs comfortable, luxurious sheets, and not just for you, but for whoever else is sleeping in your bed (it’s only courtesy). These 100% cotton, buttery-smooth Luxe Sateen sheets from Brooklinen will make it even more difficult to get out of bed.
b-Vibe Rimming Plug 2
This is the only butt plug on the market that simulates rimming, or as the more clinical among us might say, analingus (derived from the Latin anus and lingus, from lingere, meaning “to lick”). Simply put, with the use of rotating beads this device mimics the sensation of oral sex performed on the anus. And if it’s too big or, uh, too small, you can go for the petite or XL options.
Pillo
If you’re doing it right, you know that sex isn’t always the best for your back … or neck … or hands. In order to relieve some tension and get you back to focusing on the good stuff, you may need to invest in a sex pillow. This “Pillo” is a comfortable but firm wedge made to support you in all your sexual endeavors. With its washable outer cover, this pillow cleans easily and blends in nicely with your decor.
The Level Up Set
This Level Up Set from Unbounded Babes is the perfect introductory set into the sometimes intimidating world of BDSM. It includes a soft silicone gag bar with velvet ties, a functional and efficient pair of cuffs, a patent-leather paddle with silky silicone tassels, easy to use bondage tape and a pleasure card game.
Lelo Tor 2 Luxury Rechargeable Vibrating Cock Ring
The Tor 2 is one of the most sophisticated vibrating rings on the market. Designed to intensify the pleasure for both you and your partner, this super-smooth silicone ring can boost the size and firmness of your erections and help you go the distance.
burn no. 1
This massage candle from get muade is made with skin-softening jojoba and soybean oils, blended with warming notes of amber, cedar leaf, lemongrass, tonka bean and medjool date. Did you get all that? What really matters is that while this candle smells enticing, once melted, it can also be poured on the skin.
Treats! Magazine
A fine arts quarterly that launched the career of Emily Ratajowski. With a thick, glossy aesthetic, the focus here is on giving artists and photographers a platform to celebrate the female form, making for a tantalizing yet tasteful coffee table mag (as long as you don’t have little kids running around your coffee table).
