How to choose a sex toy brand

Start with the sensation, not the brand. Air-pulse (suction) toys, vibrators, wands and thrusting toys feel very different. If you're not sure what you like, a cheaper brand like Satisfyer is a low-risk way to find out.

Insist on body-safe materials. Every brand on this list uses body-safe silicone or other non-porous materials on its main products. Our materials guide explains what to avoid.

Pay for what you'll use. Premium brands earn their price through finish, quieter motors, finer control and longevity. If you'll use a toy often, that is worth it. If you're experimenting, it often isn't.

Buy from the brand or an established retailer. Popular premium toys are widely counterfeited, and fakes rarely use the same materials.
