Choosing the Best Sex Toy for Your Budget – Affordable to Luxury Options

Do you know you want a sex toy but have no idea about features or prices? We recommend the best way to reach orgasms within your financial means.

Factors That Influence Sex Toy Pricing

You can likely find your ideal erotic toy in any price range by first understanding the reasons that affect pricing.

Material Quality

There are endless, but the most common are three types:

1. Jelly or rubber. Let’s be clear, these are the worst. Dildos, but also vibrators, are porous and therefore difficult to clean thoroughly; they usually contain phthalates and other chemicals that can cause (at the very least) rashes, allergies, etc.; and, as a result, they don’t last long… Of course, they are very cheap.
2. ABS plastic. These can be cleaned very well, they don’t contain phthalates and they transmit the power of the motor well. They can be found at affordable prices, BUT, the sensation of the plastic on your erogenous zones may not be what you are looking for and you have to be careful not to drop it on the floor. They crack. And if so and you have to buy again.
3. Silicone. The Best from the West. It’s what your body asks for to stimulate itself gently, without having to measure the intensity. They are easy to clean, they transmit vibrations perfectly, they do not crack if dropped on the floor and their durability will depend on the brand. Because there is not just one type of silicone or just one way to distribute it in the sex toy.

Features

1. Vibration modes. Any vibrator worth its salt should have at least 5 vibration patterns, although it is also true that this depends on how you masturbate. If you don’t like varying the pulses, then it wouldn’t affect you, BUT, as a general rule, those that don’t have different modes are usually… bad, bad.
2. Waterproof and submersible. Here we have to point out a few little things… First of all, the fact that it is waterproof does not mean that it is submersible. This is actually a big thing, you can clean it with water, water can fall on it, but if you submerge it, you might ruin it. Also, there is another small problem that you have to be aware of when you are looking for your vibrator in a different language: the translations on the Internet are still terrible. For example, in Spanish, Waterproof is usually translated as “impermeable,” which, for what you want from your vibrator, means nothing. It is either “submersible” (to a certain depth) or it is just “water resistant”. Obviously, the submersible ones are more expensive, but do you not want to use it in the bathtub?
3. Battery-operated or USB-rechargeable? At this point in life, we almost don’t need to tell you to rule out the ones that use batteries. But, just in case, apart from the hassle of having to replace them (and pay for them!) you should also know that those that use batteries are less powerful than those that are recharged by USB.
4. App-controlled. Don’t be afraid of the future. Most of the prestigious brands in the sector already manufacture almost all of their sex toys with apps, to allow you a new variety of sensations such as, for example, having your lover from a remote location controlling the vibrations while you make a spicy video call.

Brand Reputation

Companies that have been in the sector for a long time, know what they do and what they sell, have customer service and guarantee and return policies. Trying to save money here can go very wrong…

Design and Aesthetic

Here it totally depends on your budget. The best ergonomic designs are paid for, although there are also affordable ones.

Budget-Friendly Sex Toys ($10-$50)

Can you find one that you like? Yes. Can you be disappointed? Also.

The most common materials in this price range are usually jelly and rubber, although there are also ABS plastic ones. This is where, apart from others, most of the anatomically shaped dildos are concentrated, or, in other words:

1. The traditional plastic cock. Veiny rubber cocks that can even be funny at a bachelor party, but that, normally, are not so funny for masturbating and enjoying a good orgasm. Other eccentricities have also come onto the market, such as dinosaur dildos, Grinch dildos (of course, in green and with lots of veins), etc., which can delight some fetishists.
2. Low-quality vibrating bullets. Small vibrators that can be inserted, but that, being in this price range, are better used externally. Since they are made of low-quality materials, the pleasure is not worth the risk of the extraction tail breaking and the toy getting stuck.
3. Very dubious anal plugs. For the same reason we mentioned above, you have to be very careful with penetrations with sex toys of these prices and, above all, if they are inserted from the rear. Remember that the anus has two sphincters and that we do not have complete control over one of them.
4. Masturbator cups for penises. It is true that there are many types and that there are some that, at low prices, have been successful all over the world. The reason for the success of some brands with these products has been to generate textures that simulate the sensation of penetrating a vagina or an anus. But, once again, this sensation should be enjoyed with a good condom because the materials used are c-h-e-a-p.

5. Sonic Massagers… that can last two days. In this case, you have to be very careful when searching, because these devices have to be well made.

Pros and Cons of Sex Toy $10-50

Advantages: Especially for those who start with erotic toys at an early age, when you have to count money well, they can choose from an ocean of possibilities to have their first experiences. And, after buying it, you can even celebrate because you will have money left over to have a couple of beers.

Disadvantages: If you have followed our advice at the beginning of this article, you will not have bought any toy that could be harmful to your body, therefore, the most common disadvantages of this type of sex toy are its short durability and its little or no versatility.

Mid-Range Sex Toys ($50-$150)

Here we begin to see the light, and it is in this range that we find erotic toys for people who want to improve their intimate moments or venture into different types of pleasure and sexual fantasies.

If you pay between 50 and 150 dollars, you are already getting higher quality materials, such as medical grade silicone, rechargeable batteries, more powerful motors, water resistance in another variety of sex toys:

1. USB rechargeable Vibrators and Sonic Massagers: They are already more powerful and convenient both for use and for traveling with them. In the case of Sonic Massagers, they are already starting to be what is desired: different intensities for greater comfort and long durability.
2. Premium dildos: You will also find dildos with safer materials for your body, as well as having special designs.
3. Safer anal plugs, due to materials and fastening that prevent entrapment, which can have vibration.
4. Vibrators for couples: From good penises vibrating rings, to those that are inserted into the vagina and/or anus, and some of them with remote control, to carry out the craziest fantasies.

Pros and Cons of Sex Toy $50-150

Advantages: In this range, almost all toys have a more than acceptable durability and are usually made of materials that are safe for the body. With them, you will enjoy better orgasms thanks to their power and you will be able to give free rein to your fantasies, wearing it when you go out, using it in the shower or leaving the remote control to your partner to feed your erotic games.

Disadvantages: We are still in a delicate price range. A 60 or 70 dollars toy may turn out to be a dud, although if you bought it from a reliable brand, you should have a guarantee with which you can get a new one. On the other hand, the only disadvantage is that, after buying it, you may not have enough money to buy a few beers…

Luxury Sex Toys ($150+)

As a rule, these toys are highly durable and made in the best way with the best materials and, also, they can have innovative features or functions.

Starting at 150 bucks, vibrators come with especially good and silky silicone. As for dildos, you can already rely on those made of glass, stainless steel, not forgetting those that are gold plated. Just luxury for the body:

1. Dual motor vibrators: With one motor to vibrate on the clitoris and another for the G-spot or with one motor to stimulate the prostate and another for the perineum, these toys are the most desired by thousands of people.
2. Smart vibrators: Controlled by apps that set up by their own brands, they are infinitely versatile.
3. Vibrating penis masturbation cups: Anatomical and controlled by an app, there are even some that you can set up to your liking the pattern and intensity of the vibration.
4. Luxury Sonic Massagers: Those that do not lose power when pressed against the body and are made of the most pleasant and safe silicone.
5. Luxury dildos and vibrators: Only for wealthy pockets, these are those that are made in limited units or by order. There are vibrators plated in 24 carat gold. And if you don’t believe it, ask Gwyneth Paltrow…

Pros and Cons of Sex Toy $150+

Advantages: You will always orgasm beyond your (physical) possibilities and you will be able to take your fantasies to unimaginable places and limits. You pay for this and for not worrying about the thousand problems that cheap ones can give you.

Disadvantages: If you have had to save up to buy one, it will certainly not be enough to buy a beer afterwards, but what you will enjoy for the next few years cannot be taken away from you.

How To Get the Best Value for Your Budget
