When Valentine’s Day comes around, we think of the usual: hearts, roses, grand gestures of love, and, of course, intimacy. While there are so many ways to be intimate with someone (or yourself), if sex is your preferred method of romance, you might have some planned as part of your Feb. 14 agenda.
A sweet and satisfying roll in the hay is always welcome, but if you’re ready for something a little more exciting — or you’re in the market for precise pleasure — it’s time you learn about sex accessories. A vibrator or new toy can take your delight to the next level, whether you’re flying solo or sharing the experience.
But sex toys aren’t one-size-fits-all, which you might have learned the hard way if you’re dealing with painful penetration or changes in your body after menopause. Thankfully, the sex experts at Lovehoney have inventory for everybody, including toys to explore both exterior and interior stimulation, frisky games, and lingerie. If you plan ahead, you can take advantage of their massive Valentine’s Day sale, offering up to 50 percent off.
Whether you’re practicing self-love or looking for a new couples toy, we’ve picked out some Lovehoney favorites that are a hit with Katie Couric Media readers.
Magic Wand Rechargeable Extra Powerful Cordless Vibrator
Lovehoney
When sex educator Betty Dodson touted the Magic Wand as a vibrator and masturbation aid during the sex-positive movement in the ’60s, the Japanese “massage tool” became a sexual health icon. It’s now considered one of the best sex toys ever, and it’s so perfect, the only real updates to the tool since then have been to make it more powerful (and cordless).
Lovehoney Rose Clitoral Suction Stimulator
Lovehoney
This rose-shaped toy has been making waves on TikTok, and not just because it’s adorable. It has 10 different suction modes to help satisfy the user better than rose petals on a bed ever could.
Lovehoney Oh! Satin Blindfold
Lovehoney
When Rihanna sang “chains and whips excite me,” did you nod your head in agreement? If so, head to Lovehoney’s section dedicated to bondage, with products ranging from cuffs to mounts. But if you want to ease into the kink, consider an eye mask to help heighten other sensations.
Lovehoney Sweet Love Red Babydoll Set and Eye Mask
Lovehoney
This eye mask is like a Valentine’s Day edition of Breakfast at Tiffany’s — but it’s even better, not only because it has a matching babydoll chemise, but it’s currently 70 percent off, too.
Liberator Sex Position Wedge
Lovehoney
Give your bedroom action a literal boost with a pillow wedge, which can help you find positions you’d never reach on your own and therefore enhance intimate play. It can also serve as a non-sexual, supportive knee pillow for when you want to sleep on your back, making it an all-around can’t-live-without accessory.
