A long time ago, I wrote a post talking about affordability in makeup. The next, day, I created this one: a post featuring some of my favourite sex toys, made affordable by a great sale at one of my favourite sex toy shops. This post originally went up in 2017, but I wanted today (in 2020) to give it a little update.
Affordability is one of things that is most important to me when I’m writing a product review—perhaps now even more so than in 2017. While I love a luxury product and am delighted to get to photograph luxury items for theNotice, I’ve always wanted this to be a space for everyone. Part of that means showcasing lust-worthy products, but part of that also means including options that are more easily accessible to all.
On the whole, features like a rechargeable battery, a great motor, and a waterproof design come at a cost, and those costs are usually passed on to the consumer. That’s why site-wide sales like today’s SheVibe Single’s Day Sale are so exciting. They help make sex toys accessible to everyone, and I’ll sometimes wait all year for a sale like this before buying something that I’ve had my eye on.
Get affordable sex toys at SheVibe’s Single’s Day sale
This post has changed many times as it gets updated with the latest sex toy sales. Today’s big sale is a site-wide 10% off at SheVibe with code SINGLES. SheVibe (as I’m sure you know!) is one of my all-time favourite sex toy shops, with discreet shipping and an amazing in-house artist.
This family-owned boutique is online-only and based in the US. They have a comprehensive selection of all of my favourite toys, and (in my opinion) the best product pages in the industry. Each one is extremely detailed, with everything you need to know about each toy.
My favourite affordable sex toys
If you’re not yet sure what you want to pick up from today’s SheVibe sale, don’t worry: I’ve got you covered with some of my favourites. I can’t promise that you’ll love them, because I don’t know you or your body, but these are the toys that I come back to time and time again.
My top pick is the Je Joue MiMi Soft (on sale for $83.66 USD/$115.70 CAD), which is my favourite sex toy ever. So far, every single person who I’ve introduced to it has loved it. It has a great spectrum of intensities, from a soft flutter to a powerful rumble, and the squishy outer layer delivers a comfortable, unique experience.
I’m also a big fan of the Vixen Mustang ($94.34 USD/$129.05 CAD) and We Vibe Tango ($70.03 USD/$97.90 CAD), the latter of which I’ve re-purchased many times since 2017. For all of my complaining about its battery life, as soon as my first one kicked the bucket, I couldn’t live without it. I use it less often now that Je Joue added a more stable charging mechanism to its Mimi Soft, but the Tango is still great to travel with.
Finally, I really love Sliquid and Sutil lubricants. Sliquid is an old favourite that’s very budget-friendly, while Sutil is a little thicker and lasts longer. (I personally find Sutil to be better for sensitive skin, while Sliquid has a more neutral flavour). You can shop Sliquid and Sutil online at SheVibe, too!
Finally, for a little variety in our options, I love using Tenga products on others. Their squishy texture is fun to use and play with, and while the Zen is featured in these photos from 2017, their Tenga Eggs remain a heavy hitter in my arsenal.
Happy November, folks. Take care of yourselves!
