This might sound dramatic, but I’m forever grateful I live in an age where sex toys are more normalised than ever.

Just think about it: for hundreds of years, men’s pleasure has reigned supreme. And good for them – who doesn’t want to maximise their pleasure in life?

But everyone should have equal opportunity to get off, and unfortunately, the orgasm gap persists in 2026.

We still know criminally little about the female body; I mean, the clitoris has literally just been mapped in the same way as the penis.

Plus, that eight in 10 women need clit stimulation to orgasm is still a little-known fact (they’re not teaching you that in sex ed, are they?!).

But, here to save the day is sex toys. While pleasure devices have been around for millennia (the oldest dildo we know of traces back to around 28,000 years ago), today pleasure devices are readily available everywhere you look.

From drug stores like Boots, to supermarkets like Sainsbury’s and Tesco, you don’t have to go far to find a buzzy bedmate that suits all your needs and desires.

Keep reading to find out our selection of the best sex toys to shop in 2026, as well as how to use them.

What are the types of sex toys?

We get it, shopping for sex toys is kinda overwhelming. There are thousands to choose from, and after a while they can blend into one.

Sex toys fall into a few categories, explains Gigi Engle, a sex and relationships therapist and author of Kink Curious: A Guide to Exploring Your Kinks, Dispelling Shame, and Staying Safe:

External toys: Vibrators or suction toys for the clitoris, such as bullet vibrators, and palm vibrators.

Internal toys: These can either be vibrating or non-vibrating, like dildos or G-spot wants.

Dual stimulation toys: Get you a toy that does both stimulate the external clitoris and internal vaginal structure (or sometimes prostate).

Anal toys: Can be either vibrating or non-vibrating, like butt plugs, anal beads, and anal dildos.

Couples’ toys: Designed specifically for shared experiences or partnered play, like double-ended vibrators, double-ended dildos, or toys that sit on the vulva for clitoral stimulation during partnered sex.

How to find the right kind of sex toy for you

If at this point you’re thinking you can’t possibly choose between these toys, don’t worry! There is no ‘right’ answer as to what kind of sex toy to try.

“Sex toys are for pleasure and exploration, there is no hierarchy that makes one better than the other,” Engle explains. “The only thing that makes a sex toy the ‘best’ is if it’s the best for you, and aligns with how your body responds.”

Before buying a sex toy, it can help to experiment to find out what kind of sensations you enjoy. “Figure out what feels good for your body,” Engle recommends.

“Do you prefer external touch, penetration, steady pressure feelings, or lighter touch? This is information that acts as feedback to help you figure out what kind of stimulation is right for you, based on what your body actually responds to. You want something that echoes your body preferences.”

The good news is you don’t need a sex toy to do this – all you need is your fingers, or a partners’ mouth.

But if you want to go all-in with sexperimenting with a toy, there’s no shame in trying out a cheap sex toy. “It’s ok to go cheaper if you’re new to them, because it is about exploration,” Engle explains.

“It can be helpful to have a few different kinds to experiment with. Once you know what you really like, that’s an opportunity to invest in a more luxury brand if that’s your........
