It’s coming around to Christmas again – and the holidays call for a naughty gift or two. Lady Friday has rounded up her top picks for this year’s most adventurous, luxurious and ground-breaking bedroom toys and accessories, all for you and your partner/s to enjoy…
The process of buying an intimate gift can be a difficult one. There’s a huge range, the shops are packed (meaning you’re likely to feel embarrassed), and it’s hard to find something that guarantees quality, aesthetic appeal and a good time.
Fear not! This Lady Friday column is devoted to the gift-seeker who wants something edgy and sexy – and top of the line. All of these options are available online with delivery. Make sure you order soon for pre-Christmas arrival.
Lelo is always a good bet for high-performance, aesthetically pleasing bedroom toys, and the Lelo Noa Rechargable Couples Vibrator, their latest product, is no exception. The rechargable vibe is built for use during intimacy, or as a separate clitoral-and-G-spot toy.
Noa has won awards for good reason – it’s impeccably designed and has 6 vibration functions, is fully waterproof, and has a ‘lock’ feature so it won’t turn on when you don’t want it to. Plus Lelo has a 1-year warranty.
If lingerie’s more in your line, the Coco de Mer Sylph range (pictured) is stunning. Their Half Cup Front-Opening Bra is a sell-out, and their thongs and panties come in a range of intriguing designs.
Made of stretchy silk, the range is inspired by high-fashion photographer Helmut Newton’s aesthetic. The bra only goes up to DD, so larger-bosomed ladies should look at their Frame Bra selection.
For those wanting something a bit less obtrusive and more high-tech, the Crave Duet USB Vibrator made a big splash this year – and it’s a luxurious gift, with 24k-gold accents. Its USB function doubles as a flash drive (many users report it’s a stunning way to store erotic e-books and photography) and an easy charger for the huge array of vibrator settings.
It’s marketed as perfect for business trips, as it’s light, silent, waterproof and highly portable. For the lady CEO in your life.
Into luxe bondage? Incoqnito’s Leather Handcuffs are an erotic stand-out. Incoqnito specialises in toys that don’t look like toys – the all-leather handcuffs, which come with a range of silver or rose gold chains, look like edgy bracelets when innocently on the wrist.
They’re soft and made for high-end play, but don’t get them wet and store them correctly – leather needs good care to maintain its softness.
If you want something remote controlled and dainty, the Lelo Insignia Oden Remote Control Ring is causing all sorts of waves on the market. It looks, it’s true, like an abstract artist’s idea of sperm, but it’s designed to be worn either on the male partner or on the finger, as a vibrating toy.
It’s rechargable, comes with batteries, and has – like all Lelo products – up to 7 different vibration patterns to enjoy. Plus it comes with a manual and a warranty.
And if the situation calls for something less hard-core and more sensual, try YESforLOV Intimate Pleasure Pearly Powder. YESforLOV is a new massage and powder company for the bedroom, and we’re loving the Pearly Powder range – it’s designed to be run all over the body as an ‘invitation to your lover’.
They also produce an Intimate Pleasure Massage Oil, with passion fruit, ginger, sweet almond oil and rosemary – more an aromatherapy treatment than the usual sticky substance. Use it for intimate massage (for the body only – keep away from intimate parts).
