Which sex toy brands are affordable?

Finding safe and affordable sex toys may feel like endless research. Countless cut-rate brands are made with very questionable materials that can harm your body. Other ones require constantly changing batteries before they die after only a few months.

If you read our previous article on How to Choose a Safe Sex Toy, you should know that all adult toys are not created equal. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for.

We want you to improve your sex life without breaking the bank. We have several recommendations for brands and products that are affordable and safe.

Why Are Some Sex Toys So Expensive?

Some of our highest-quality brands come with high price tags. Often this is for a variety of reasons such as:

Safe and thoroughly researched materials
Various settings
Ability to be recharged
The brand committing to safe and ethical labour standards regardless of the manufacturing site
The ability to control the toy using an application on your phone, smartwatch, or tablet
A warranty or guarantee of satisfaction with the product

While many of these things are very important, sometimes the products are just costly.

Why Are Some Sex Toys So Affordable?

Why are some sex toys so cheap? This is the real question you should be asking. If a toy has a price tag of $10-$15, you can rest assured that it will probably be a hazard to your health and have a short shelf life.

Toys made with transparent or jelly materials often come with these low price tags because they’re made with dangerous but affordable porous materials.

Choosing these toys and using them regularly without a condom or other protection can put you at risk of developing types of cancers, infections, or breaking quickly.

An investment in a high-quality sex toy is an investment in your sexual pleasure and fulfilment. Make sure that you’re not selling yourself short by purchasing a dangerous sex toy.

High-Quality and Affordable Sex Toy Brands

Several specific brands are safe, high quality, and are well within the budget of an average person looking for a sex toy.

Gildo

Gildo is a smaller company that makes life-long products out of non-porous and body-safe borosilicate glass. While a glass toy may sound strange, these are incredibly strong and built to last.
