16 best luxury sex toys 2024 that are worth every penny
Thanks to an explosion of new brands and products, the best luxury sex toys aren't hard to find. Buying premium dildos, butt plugs, and the best vibrators is easier and more transparent than ever — and sex toy shops like LELO, We-Vibe, Dame, and MysteryVibe are here to take your sexcapades to the next level.
In this case, we’ll define “luxury sex toys” as larger devices (like rabbit vibrators and suction toys) that usually cost more than £100, and smaller devices (like bullet vibrators) that usually cost more than £60. (We suggest you snap them up ASAP if you happen to catch any on sale for less than that). There’s absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying more affordable sex toys for beginners, to be clear, but when you’re ready to invest in something sturdier, longer-lasting, or more versatile, high-end toys are the answer. Ahead, our full edit of best-selling and discreet luxury sex toys to elevate your self-care.

How we test luxury sex toys:
You can trust GLAMOUR's product reviews. For the GLAMOUR Shopping Team, it is of utmost importance that we provide our readers with independent, honest and trustworthy reviews; we are committed to bringing our readers unbiased and accurate information – recommending not only the best products and retailers within the category you’re buying into, but the best for your personal needs, too.
We (a team of editors made up of all sexualities and ages), have been testing the best sex toys for the past five years. So we know what it takes to be a good, luxury sex toy. The vibrators in this edit have all been testing during masturbation and partnered sex in multiple scenarios, and scored on criteria like noise level, vibration settings, battery power and how they feel against the body.
What features make luxury sex toys worth the money?
Any toy can make solo time and partnered play better, explains Javay Frye-Nekrasova, MEd, a Lovehoney sex expert. “The human body is only capable of so much, and bringing sex toys into the mix really expands the possibilities and the pleasure that can be experienced,” she says. But why are some options so much more expensive than others?
“When it comes to luxury or more pricey toys, there’s a good chance that what you’re paying for is quality,” says Lisa Finn, a sex educator and Babeland brand manager. “Premium materials like stainless steel and pure silicone are more expensive to produce, the latest and most innovative tech costs more to design and execute, and often these toys will be covered by manufacturer’s warranties so that, if something does happen to your sexy investment piece, you’re covered against any possible defects.”
Soft, skin-like silicone is one of the most popular materials for luxury sex toys, and both experts agree it’s worth investing in. Look for the term “medical grade” in product descriptions to confirm you’re getting something truly high-end. Silicone is also non-porous, which means it won’t trap bacteria after being cleaned, making it “one of the safest and healthiest materials you can use,” Frye-Nekrasova says. Stainless steel and BPA-free plastics are other body-safe, durable materials to try, Finn notes.
Under the hood, your pick is likely just as premium. Rechargeable vibrators outdo battery-operated options, Frye-Nekrasova explains, because they’re easier to keep charged (and you won’t have to raid your TV remote if you run out of juice just before climaxing). Some of the best luxury vibrators use magnetic charging, Frye-Nekrasova says, because the lack of ports helps keep them waterproof (meaning you can enjoy them during bath or shower sex as well).
“Sex tech is constantly improving on itself,” Finn says. Just like your smartphone, the latest vibrators are also getting more advanced. Want one that pairs with your mobile devices? No problem. Looking for a vibe that'll thrust or heat? You've got it. More sophisticated designs charge a premium, but they're worth it if you want to explore the variety these toys can offer.
How can you maintain luxury sex toys?
No one wants their brand-new vibrator to break down after only a few uses, and while plenty of luxury sex toys are covered by warranty, upkeep is required. When you unbox your toy, fight the urge to instantly throw away the little instruction manual it comes with. “Note any recommendations on care and cleaning, whether or not your toy is waterproof, how long to charge it to keep the battery at optimal performance, and any other unique features,” Finn recommends.
Wash your toy according to the instructions before and after each use, both experts say, to keep it (and your sexual health) in top shape. Plenty of luxury sex toys come with storage bags or cases, so use those to protect your purchase from dust, scratches, and contaminants. Whenever you charge your toy, make sure you use the cord it came with; using the wrong one could end up damaging the battery, Frye-Nekrasova explains, as could leaving the toy on the charger for an extended period of time.
Although you can opt to use your vibrator without personal lubricant, a little bit of slip never hurts. When you use lube, though, pay attention to materials, Frye-Nekrasova warns: water-based lube is safe to use with all toys, but silicone-based lube can actually cause silicone toys to break down. (If something does happen to your toy, make sure you keep your warranty information on hand, along with a copy of your receipt, Finn recommends).

Now that you know what to look for, these are the very best luxury sex toys to add to your checkout.
“LELO's Sona – one of its most popular clitoral vibrators and a top-tier sex gift – is really, really good. In fact, it has been my got-to vibrator since I first tested it around three years ago, despite my trialling of so many other launches. Regularly on sale, it uses new-gen sonic waves, and LELO's Cruise Control technology, to mimic the feeling of oral sex and serve up intense clit stimulation.
"It comes in a sleek silk travel bag and is made from super-soft, body-safe silicone. It's waterproof, the battery life is seriously impressive, and it's easy to switch between different vibration settings mid-play. We also love that, when the Sona is pressed hard against the body and the monitor begins to drop power, an extra 20% is unleashed (a 20% that had - until this point - been saved and stored for when you need it) so that there’s no reduction in intensity.
“I love using it during masturbation and also for clitoral stimulation during sex. So, so good.”
Simplicity can be a virtue. Such is the case with Lelo’s Gigi 2, a G-spot vibrator that’s low-key enough to please beginners and luxe enough to impress experts. This bestseller features a curved shaft and ridged head to make finding and teasing your G-spot a breeze, and you can also focus the tip on your clitoris. As you explore its eight different vibration patterns, waterproof design, and four-hour battery, you’ll feel even better knowing you made a worthwhile investment in your sexual wellness.

This whisper-quiet suction toy might be even better than oral sex, since you don’t even need a partner to enjoy it. Womanizer vibrators — which Frye-Nekrasova says define “luxury” — use air pulses to stimulate your clitoris and mimic the feeling of a tongue, leading to more intense climaxes. This bestseller includes a four-hour battery, 14 intensity levels, and an “autopilot” feature that randomises your experience. You might never need an SO again, although you can totally slip it into your partnered sex life too.

One of Lelo’s newest devices, this G-spot vibrator is designed to mimic the sensation of being fingered. If the waterproofing, dual stimulation, app connectivity, and two-hour battery don’t do it for you, maybe this Lelo Ida Wave review from a GLAMOUR writer will: “[I] just enjoyed 15 orgasms,” she wrote. “Yes, I counted.”

Kick date night up a notch with this wearable, dual-ended vibrator, which comes recommended by Finn and includes one arm for your G-spot and another for your clit. The result is hands-free pleasure that’ll tease blended orgasms out of you — and also excite a partner’s penis with 10 unique intensity levels. Don't be afraid to take it in the bath, since it’s waterproof and can be controlled via a smartphone app.
“If you like both internal and external simulation, this new luxury sex toy from Womanizer will likely send your orgasms skyrocketing (something it certainly did to mine). Think: direct clitoral sensations paired with a deep undercurrent of penetrative vibrations.
"We loved that Womanizer include two sizes of stimulator head with this toy, so whether you like your pleasure tight and direct or more spread out and well-rounded - so to speak… - the brand have put everybody first. Myself included.”

One of the best sex toys for couples, this wearable clit vibrator nestles between your labia and stays firmly in place during sex or masturbation, leaving your hands free to explore other erogenous zones. Take your time and luxuriate in its three rumbly vibration modes — it runs for one hour at its very highest setting, which is more than enough to reach an orgasm (or two…or three).
Rabbit vibrators specialise in dual stimulation, offering a longer shaft to massage your G-spot and a smaller arm to show some love to your clit. This waterproof option is among the best of the bunch, complete with two motors and 15 unique vibration settings to explore. Come for the G-spot stimulation — and come harder for the wiggling bunny ears, which will have you screaming in no time.

Level-up your foreplay experience with LELO's smart wand vibrator that has been designed from soft silicone to help you achieve a holistic orgasmic experience. The LELO Smart Wand 2 serves up ten different vibration speeds that help soothe sore muscles and relieve stress, while the handle - which is steadier than featured on previous models (and even longer-lasting charge) - means you can enjoy hours upon hours of controlled pleasure.
The world of high-quality male masturbators is vast, but this unique option deserves your immediate attention. Thanks to an ergonomic handle, it’s more versatile than your usual stroker — you can use it during oral, masturbation, or penetrative sex with ease. Pleasure-enhancing ripples and 12 intense vibration options only make things more fun. Plus, you’ll love that it’s open-ended for easy cleanup.

“If you’re the kind of person that thinks two orgasms are better than one, the Soraya™ 2 is the world’s most luxurious rabbit vibrator that offers optimised dual-stimulation for both clitoral and G-spot orgasm, on a whole new level.
"Packaged in a silky carry bag, large in size, quiet when in use and with a 10-year warranty (and four hours' worth of play when fully charged), I'd declare it worth every penny of its £199.99 price tag.”

No ordinary butt plug, this device from the anal play experts at B-Vibe comes equipped with rotating beads in its neck. The result feels exactly like (or possibly even better than) being rimmed — except you can control these sensations from a remote control. Cycle between seven titillating patterns and six intensities during foreplay or as part of the main event.

A gender neutral, luxury sex toy, the Soraya Beads by LELO are designed for those in the early stages of exploring anal play. The design features beads of graduating sizes that aim to arouse the sensitive nerve endings in and around the anus for a new type of orgasmic sensation. Start with the smallest bead and work your way up; the beads work to create a thrusting-like pulsations without the thrusting motion to make things gentle.
Even the most advanced vibrators usually cap off at a maximum of three separate motors, but MysteryVibe’s flagship toy features an astounding six. It’s also remarkably flexible, allowing you to mold it to your body and explore what feels best: G-spot play, clitoral stimulation, prostate massage, anything. And with an accompanying app, you can use your phone to customize every aspect of playtime without interrupting your flow.
The Nora is a great rabbit vibrator on its own, but it really shines as a long-distance sex toy. You or a partner can control its vibration settings via an app from anywhere in the world, taking phone sex to new heights. Plus, it can even sync with other Lovense Toys, so you can have sex with a partner who’s in another place entirely.
Okay, not so much a luxury sex toy – but a luxury sexual wellness product which has turned out to be one of LELO's bestsellers, site-wide, year-to-date. These beads are designed to extend your pleasure and train your body to experience multiple; more intense orgasms. You wear them inside the vagina, and they emit tingly sensations that prompt pelvic floor muscle reaction, strengthening the vaginal wall and pelvic floor muscles through effective Kegel exercising. The result? Enhanced sensations during intimacy: your muscles will be tightened and toned giving way to more intense sensations to both partners during foreplay and sex.
