Pleasure products have been a rapidly growing area for creativity and technology over the past few decades.
Technology has allowed us to move rapidly from the first mechanical vibrators that date back to 1909, to the age of modern adult toys made with mind-blowing, rumbling motors, and soft velvet silicone textures. (1)
The top design companies around the world involved in this multi-billion dollar industry continue to push the evolution of design and the boundaries of sexuality, fun and pleasure.
I love this industry for that exact reason, there is always something new to learn and explore.
We can also thank these top tier design companies for creating luxury sex toys for couples that add validity and respectability to an industry that has been considered shameful or offensive in past decades.
Mix all the elements of sleek designs, amazing colours and the highest quality materials and I am in stimulation heaven.
What is a Luxury Sex Toy?
There are a few attributes that make an adult couples toy a luxury item.
The toy should represent luxury and quality through its design, feel, packaging, and presence.
Luxury sex toys should exhibit refinement, elegance and most importantly deliver performance.
The criteria for what makes a sex toy "luxury" isn't always the price. - Erica Cuff - The Hot Spot Sexpert
They should have many or all of the following components:
High-Quality Materials
The toy should be made of materials which have no taste and no smell when brand new.
They are usually food-grade materials like 100% silicone, stainless steel, glass, wood, leather, or ABS plastic. (2)
The material should also be easy to clean.
Colour
When it comes to colour, everybody has a different taste. There is no particular colour or set of colours that defines whether a sex toy is in the luxury class or not.
Many of these high-end toys only come in one colour. Most high-end anal toys and prostate massagers are designed in black.
My favourites are the deep colours, like maroons, cherry reds, and purples.
I love the luxury dildos that have swirls of mixed colours that can only be made with hand-poured silicone.
The color red is often associated with evoking strong or passionate emotions. Love, comfort, confidence, warmth, excitement and passion are some of the more positive emotions connected to this color. (3)
Research and Development
You will notice many of the quality luxury sex toy companies have gone through several models of a particular design of the toy.
One of the many examples of this is the We-Vibe company's C-Shaped couples vibrators. The modern versions of these couples vibes are equipped with larger, deep rumbling motors, that have more power than the older models while keeping the same core design style.
Design
Luxury sex toy designs are stylish, modern, and can be equipped with smooth curves. Depending on the type of toy, they may have unique bases or may feature artistically sculpted details that draw your attention.
Quality Motors
The internal workings of luxury toys like vibrators will have larger deeper rumbling motors. These motors create much stronger vibrations than cheaper smaller motors.
Similar to a large V8 engine in a car compared to a small four-cylinder motor.
The larger toy motors make sure your experience is always orgasmic!
Extra Features
Some luxury sex toys have extraordinary features, such as:
Are very strong.
Heat up using controls and buttons on the toy.
Have pulsing and wave modes.
Have programmable settings.
Have travel locks.
Have a remote control.
Can be controlled via an App on your Smart Phone.
Batteries
Most will be USB rechargeable. This saves you from having to buy and replace batteries. The battery life will be long and perform for several hours before needing to be recharged.
Packaging
Luxury sex toys always come in well-presented packaging. Thought and care go into the packaging. They will not be sold in clear clamshell or shrink-wrapped packaging. The boxes often look like a gift box or may have magnetic closures. Sometimes a reusable storage bag will be included in the box.
Printed Materials
A luxury toy will come with good instructions and written in multiple languages.
The manufacturer will also present the product without assuming the gender or orientation of the customer buying and using the products.
Warranty
All luxury toys will come with a warranty. Most warranties cover your purchase for at least one year from the date of purchase.
This tells you the manufacturer backs the quality of the product and is prepared to look after customers if the product fails mechanically.
Marketing & Branding
Quality brand names are an easy way of identifying luxury sex toys. When a quality brand releases a new toy, you can instantly trust that they have spent countless hours designing, refining, and testing the toy before it hits the shelves.
