Best For: LGBTQ+ Inclusive Toys
Founded in 1971, The Pleasure Chest might just be the oldest sex toy seller on this list. They have both traditional outlets that feel more like a high-end boutique, and an online shoppe.
Notice how I said “shoppe” because it’s fancy.
Both feature a large selection of products, from vibrators, dildos, and lubes to stuff for BDSM, bachelorette parties, and sexual enhancers. The site also features sex tips, tricks, how-to’s, and sex-ed.

Best For: Body-Safe Non-Toxic Products
Smitten Kitten is an all-inclusive, sex-positive, education-based, body-safe sexual toy store. There’s a focus here towards non-toxic, ethically produced and manufactured products.
In case you didn’t know, unsafe sex toys is a big problem in this industry!
SK have one physical boutique in Minneapolis and a website you can buy great dildos and vibators from. There’s also tons of sex ed and resources.
Smitten Kitten founded BADVIBES.ORG in 2005, an organization dedicated to “positively transforming socially irresponsible, environmentally and personally hazardous sex toy manufacturing and sex toy sales practices.”
Best For: First-Time Toy Buyers
Starting out as “Toys in Babeland” back in the ’90s, this renowned online sex shop used to sell sex toys from catalogues before joining the digital age many moons ago.
Babeland has always been focused on offering information and encouragement to women who want to explore their sexuality. I hope they continue to do so for many years!
Babeland was known as “Toys in Babeland” until 2005 before becoming simply “Babeland”. Too many people confused them with rock band Babes in Toyland – including the owner’s father!
Best For: Budget Sex Toys
Did you know you can get sex toys on Amazon? Not only that – many of them you can get on Amazon Prime with next-day delivery! Amazon packaging is always discreet, so there’s no need to worry about nosy neighbors either.
Only thing, make sure you’re buying from a reputable seller – and you read the fine print before clicking that buy button. Verify that both the seller and product have several real positive reviews. There are some dodgy sellers on there, so be careful.
Some cheap Amazon sex toys will be counterfeit, low quality, or made from cheap toxic materials. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is
Best For: Pop Culture-Inspired Toys
Did you know you can buy a vibrator shaped like Darth Vader? Well, now you know. You’re welcome.
Best For: Handmade, Customizable Toys
While Etsy is known for crafty hand-made items like wedding cake toppers and jewelry, it’s also perfect for letting your freak flag fly.
Yep, there’s a huge community on Etsy dedicated to making sex toys!
From customizable dildos in every shape and size, to faux tail buttplugs and bespoke BDSM equipment… you’ll find everything you can imagine and then some.
If you’re ordering sex toys online instead of seeking help in a boutique, there are some things you need to remember. Here are our tips for ordering sex toys online safely!
In the US, there aren’t any regulations on what chemicals are used in an adult toy for sex. Even the most virtuous of sites can sell dildos and strokers that are villainous to your body, including Amazon.
Basically, avoid phthalates and jelly rubber like the plague. Toys which are semi-transparent or suspiciously cheap are more likely to be made from bad materials. Many sellers lie on their packaging, so always check reviews.
Silicone, stainless steel, ABS plastic and borosilicate glass are body-safe materials you should look for.
Our dangerous sex toys guide has more information on these nasty unregulated adult toys.
Even if you’re sexually liberated, you probably don’t want your neighbors to see a box with “Big Massive Dildos Inc.” on the side. Luckily, most toy companies (including the ones on this list) offer discreet shipping in non-descript boxes as a standard service.
If in doubt, check for an FAQ page or a shipping and discretion policy page. You can also check customer reviews to see whether their packaging was discreet when their toys arrived. If you’re really that worried, considering sending the toys to a P.O Box.
Sex toys come in all shapes and sizes, designed to do a plethora of different things and stimulate your erogenous zones in different ways. No 2 toys feel the same.
For example, women can choose between G spot vibrators, bullet vibrators, clit toys and more. Men can peruse prostate massagers, male masturbators, penis vibrators and more.
Do some research and think about the kind of sensations you’re looking for so you can browse adult toys with confidence rather than confusion!
No two online sex toy stores are the same, but here are some general traits you should look for in a decent online sex toy website!
A common trend among our top picks is sex positivity, whether it be through sex-ed, sexual health and well-being resources, etcetera. A few of our favorites are even leaders of the sex-positive adult toy store community.
Another common trait with our top picks is their passion for high-quality sex toys made from body-safe materials. The top online sex stores will go above and beyond with their customer service, and many test the toys themselves.
Especially on the quality goods they’re selling. A few of our chosen elites even have forums for their customers to discuss, review, and advise on the wares sold on their website.
I’d recommend checking reviews on unbiased forums like /r/sextoys too.
Not only for themselves, but for the brands they carry too. They should have worked hard to build outstanding reputability. I mean, some of the shops in our top picks have been around since the ’70s or recieved Royal Awards!
While this one should be a given, it still deserves recognition. Whether it be student discounts, warranties, free shipping, or whatever else on top of ensuring the patrons are taken care of.
Ideally, they will use eco-friendly manufacturing methods (or sell brands that use such methods) to be better for the environment. Again, to say this for the 7,000th time, they should also sell non-toxic body-safe toys.
While not all sex shops can tick off every single thing on this list, they mostly follow these practices in one way, shape, or another. The more that your online sex store of choice follows these principles, the more likely it is to be worth buying from!
Online sex shoppes are the perfect way to go down the adult rabbit hole. You truly can get lost for hours scrolling through Award-Winning Fleshlights and Vibrators shaped like R2-D2.
Wherever you decide to shop, just be sure to do your research beforehand, stay safe, and have fun!
