What a year it’s been. While there have certainly been lows, we wanted to put together a list of the toys, products, podcasts and books that contributed to our highs (or climaxes). Here are our best sex products for 2020.
Quick Links
Here are our absolute favourite items that will definitely be coming with us into 2021:
The Best Sex Toys
Womanizer Starlet
The smallest and most straightforward in Womanizer’s range. It’s a great option if you’re new to suction toys. The toy itself is reliable with a unique sensation (that can take a bit of getting used to) but is surprisingly powerful! Once you begin using a Womanizer, you might find it hard to turn back.
Lovehoney Marbled
This glass dildo is sSimple, small and super pretty. The slightly waved shaft means it offers a unique massage, we think it’s a great first insertion toy. Plus, it doubles as a coffee table ornament!
WeVibe Tango
The amazing product that featured in our very first giveaway, and for good reason. This vibrator never fails us, is easy to use and very powerful! This clit vibe is USB rechargeable (so no batteries running out and ruining your fun), waterproof and is small and sculpted into a lipstick shape so is super discreet.
BASICS Anal Beads
These are perfect for people who are starting out exploring anal pleasure. The beads start small in size and grow to just 3 inches wide, an introduction to anal play for beginners. Remember to use lube!
The Best Sex Products
YES Oil-Based Organic Lube
Does your skin react to everything you put on it? Then this is the solution for you. The skin around your genitalia is extremely thin and can react to products which is why it’s important we’re careful what we allow near it. We have tested SO many lubes and we can say firmly, this oil-based, organic lube is the one for sensitive skin.
Lovehoney Fresh Wipes
We can’t emphasise enough the importance of cleaning your toys. But we know how hard it can be to do it while you’re still basking in the post-orgasm glow. So these wipes are perfect for when you don’t have the energy to wash your toys in the bathroom sink but still want to be hygienic!
The Best Podcasts
Glow West

Hosted by @drcarolinewest this podcast is a must-listen. Caroline knows her stuff and always has the best guests on. The podcast covers general sex-ed as well as topical issues such as revenge porn ( we recommend you listen to the episode 24 where they spoke to @meganjrenee and Susan Walsh from @shc_cork about revenge porn)!
Sluts and Scholars

Even just from the name of this one you just KNOW it’s going to be great. Hosted by the sexologist @msheidegger this podcasts covers everything from kinks to body image to shame. A must listen.

Hot Brain is hosted by @thongria (CEO of @shopspectrumboutique and self-proclaimed Dildo Dutchess) and her partner @ronecstasy. They talk everything from what it’s like to be an OnlyFans creator to Naked Yoga. It’s a fun listen!
The Best Books
Women Don’t Owe You Pretty (Florence Given)
Women Don’t Owe You Pretty is a fantastic book for anyone who wants to challenge out-dated narratives around gender and the roles surrounding them. It talks about the importance of protecting your energy and finding that you are the love of your own life. Florence Given reminds us that you owe other people nothing, least of all pretty. A great read and one we’ll come back to again and again when we need those little reminders.
Sex Ed – A Guide for Adults (Ruby Rare)
Another product that was featured in our launch giveaway. It’s without a doubt the most aesthetically pleasing sex-ed book we’ve ever read (perhaps you’ll find it on our coffee table alongside the Lovehoney Marbled) and that’s thanks to the wonderful illustrations by Sofie Birkin. This sex-ed is an easy read, pleasure focussed and covers absolutely everything. We’ll be passing this one on to our kids.
So that completes our list of the Best Sex Products 2020. What do you think? Would you include anything else on your list? Maybe 2021 will be the year you explore some more sex products with your partner, but first, learn how to be honest with them about what you want.
