It wasn’t until relatively recently that women started discussing the best sex toys among their friends. For far too long, women shied away from discussing sex toys, orgasms, masturbation pretty much everything else sex-related. But it’s 2021, and we’re taking control of our sexual empowerment. Think of team GLAMOUR as your sexual wellness educators: here to enlighten you in all areas of the sexual wellness sphere to help you feel empowered. Sex toys for women are first on the agenda.
Sure, you’re likely already having sex or masturbating – but there’s always room for improvement, right? In that case, investing in a high-quality sex toy is your best route to an elevated sex life.
Forget what you thought you knew: the sex toys we’re using aren’t as noisy as jet engines, clunky or to be saved for the nights when your partner isn’t around. From clit vibrators to wand vibrators, rabbit vibrators and remote control sex toys, today’s sex toys have had a glow-up. They’re USB-rechargeable, Bluetooth compatible, ergonomic, cordless, discrete and with varying intensity levels. They’re sleek, they’re whisper-quiet and they’re more sophisticated than ever before. Life-changing? You bet.
If you’re considering purchasing a foreplay-enhancing sex toy from our edit, you’re not alone. In fact, thanks to the largest mass scale isolation in 102 years, the number of women buying sex toys has been steadily growing since the beginning of last year’s first lockdown. According to eCommerce experts Salesfire, the first quarter of 2021 saw a 32.9% increase in the sex toys sector compared to the same period of 2020. Elsewhere, Cult Beauty has seen a huge surge of interest in the female wellness category, with page views up by a staggering 80% when compared to last year – and sales of their most popular sex toy (the Dame Zee, FYI) skyrocketing by 124%.
Whether you choose to use a sex toy on your own or with a partner is totally your call. On your own, sex toys are a fail-safe way to drastically improve masturbation – which we’ve actually been prescribed a daily dose of by New York’s Department of Health thanks to its ability to boost mental health, stimulate the production of oxygen, improve cognitive function, enhance your mood and act as a natural painkiller. And with a partner? The best sex toys can heighten and intensify intimacy, elevate foreplay and stimulate every erogenous zone. Basically: they’ll really spice things up.
