Aurelia Lingerie Subscription Box starting at $100 (monthly): A monthly lingerie subscription box will definitely keep things spicy. This small, Canadian-based lingerie retailer has human-curated lingerie subscription boxes and size-inclusive lingerie (they offer bra sizes AM and panties XS-4XL). When you start the lingerie subscription service, you complete a style quiz that asks about your style preferences, and a human stylist creates a unique box for you or your partner. The box also includes a guide to measuring your cup size, troubleshooting tips, a measuring tape, and a zipper net case for washing delicate items.

UnderClub Subscription Box starting at $38 (monthly):With UnderClub, you can give your lover a practical and sexy gift every month. Subscribers can choose between a bralette set with 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 create an underwear box for you. Bra sizes range from XS to 2XL, band sizes from 30 to 42 inches, and A-DD.
Magic Wand Mini for $76:This little guy is iconic for a reason. The handheld vibrating wand provides powerful stimulation over a large surface area. It gets about three hours of battery life, not that your gift recipient will be using it for that long at a time (maybe!). The Mini is easier to hold and use than the original, larger magic wand, and its buttons are convenient to reach. -Eric Ravenscraft

Lovense Ferri Panty Vibrator for $114: If you have in mind taking your couples out to public places to play, it’s essential to find a wearable vibrator that not only hits all the right spots, but is actually comfortable. That’s where the Lovense Fairy Panty Vibrator comes in. The Ferry is designed to fit into the folds of the labia, unlike other panty vibrators, which are flat and only sit against it. The ferry generates vibrations from every inch of its surface, but the most intense vibrations are located at the top of the product, which fits snugly against the clitoris. When you’re ready to be adventurous, this is a perfect first step. It’s whisper-quiet and 100 percent waterproof, and the Lovenies app makes it easy to control the ferry, no matter how close or far away you and your partner are. —amanda chattel

Lelo Sona 2 Cruise for $89: We once called this the “Cadillac of suction toys” in our best clitoral suction toys guide. It’s short and discreet, and can be as gentle or intense as you want. It has a beautiful, curved body with chrome accents that makes it stylish enough for your nightstand. The “Cruise” part of the name refers to Lelo’s cruise control technology, which increases in intensity when you press the toy firmly against your body. -Eric Ravenscraft

Lovense Gravity for $144:Vibrators can provide a lot of satisfying stimulation, but one of the things they’re missing most 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 automatic thrusting as well as vibration. It comes with a suction-cup mount, and can also be controlled via a handy remote control or the company’s robust mobile app to customize the thrust and vibration patterns. -Eric Ravenscraft

Dame Pom Flexible Vibrator for $103: A mainstay in our best vibrators guide, the Dame Pom Flexible Vibrator is a tiny powerful handheld vibe that’s gorgeous and intuitively designed. It has the power you’d expect from a Bullet Vibe, but the additional silicone body spreads vibrations over a wider area for a unique experience. Not only is it easy to hold and operate with one hand, but it also fits snugly in the palm of most hands. All the buttons are where your fingers naturally fall. -Eric Ravenscraft

MysteryVibe Crescendo 2 for $230: This flexible, bendable vibrator has six different motors, all of which can be customized and controlled from the included app. But what sets it apart is its semi-rigid articulated body. You can straighten it for more direct entry, or bend it, like one might bend one’s fingers. It won’t lock into position, so some resistance may cause it to bend straight back, but it’s useful for hitting some of the harder to reach spots on and inside your body. -Eric Ravenscraft

Bananapants Bumper Vibrating Cushion for $36: Wearing a harness can be a lot of fun, but sometimes it lacks the stimulation you might get in other situations. This is where the bumper comes in. It’s a vibrating cushion that attaches to the end of most dildos, so it’s compatible with almost every harness and strap. It is designed to provide vibration for the penetrative side in doubles play, and that is what it does. Very Well. -Eric Ravenscraft

Lelo Personal Moisturizing Water-Based Lube for $18: This water-based lube tops our best lube guide. It’s a little more expensive per ounce than others, but it’s worth it. Many lubes become sticky or thick very quickly, but Lelo remains fluid and smooth throughout play. It’s also paraben and glycerin free, which is great for people with skin sensitivities. -Eric Ravenscraft
Lelo Hex Condoms for $13: We’ve tested several condoms, and Lelo Hex was our top choice. The company that makes some of our favorite sex toys also makes some very strong condoms. They have a stylish hexagonal pattern that Lelo claims makes the condom stronger, and they didn’t break as easily as others in our tests. This is one of the most comfortable condoms I’ve worn, with the hexagon pattern helping to add a little grip to prevent slipping. -Eric Ravenscraft
