The Sex Appeal of Luxury

The intimate pleasure market certainly isn’t short of options to choose from, whether it’s a first- time choice or if you are a seasoned user looking for the next toy to enhance your personal me and you time, there are plenty to choose from.

As with anything there’s a price point that you will be comfortable in paying and you can pay anything from a pocket money price point right through something that can be an investment of 100’s of pounds, but what actually makes a sex toy a luxury item other than cost?

Since the days of the first rabbit vibrators, sex toys have moved at a pace but there has been huge development in bringing products to market that are presented as high- end lifestyle products, and why not we use all sorts of gadgets to enhance every aspect of our lives, so why should products that we use for intimate pleasure not be given the same appeal.

A luxury sex toy shouldn’t be just about the price tag, it has to be about the whole thing.  The visual aspect is clearly as important as the product itself, from materials, colourways, and the way a product feels when it’s in the hand and body is really important.  After all this is a product that is going to used for sensual intimacy so it needs to start to deliver the essence of the anticipated pleasure from first sight so the buyer is under no illusions that they are going to enjoy the experience that will ultimately push them towards wanting more.

Climaximum is a really good example of hitting the high bar without breaking the bank whilst offering the best of both worlds and pricing starts at an affordable £19.99 up to £64.99.  The products at the bottom end of Climaximum still deliver really well in style and presentation with rich colourways and sensual rose gold highlights. There’s excellent choice here too, from good looking stater products, like the rechargeable vibrator Mia and the sensory bullet Hera, which has a velvet touch finish through to the powerful textured angled massage wand Aurora, and couple’s kits L’Amour and Excite. The masculine C ring Capture and Toulz Prostate massager don’t disappoint either, presented in strong midnight blue with copper accents and cool masculine grey tones.  This range has cleverly found a way to inspire people to engage with the brand and then move them forward to spending more!

Clearly packaging and brand presence is also key to success, with luxury products needing to deliver a sense of refinement and indulgence, in fact every aspect from first sight to un-boxing and then to enjoy needs to be considered. They are all important finishing touches to help people embrace and want to explore pleasure at a higher end.

If you are tempted to spend more on premium adult toy look for well-designed products that will provide the pleasure experience you are looking for. Pleasure starts with touch, and products made with quality materials are an essential part of creating a luxury sex toy experience, but it’s also vital for your heath.

NIYA is luxury inclusive range created by Rocks Off, designed to enhance intimate pleasure space.  You can see that the colourways and soft ergonomic lines in this range have been really carefully chosen, right down to the well -designed packaging which gives the range and products great shelf appeal.   The range, numbered 1 -5, really has something to offer for everyone from pelvic floor Kegels, a couple’s ergonomic massager through to a clever finger vibrator that gives ease of control for the user, but actually would be a great bedtime buddy for anyone with dexterity issues.  Looking at any one of the 5 products you can see that thought and effort has been put into the range, along with the finishes and materials.  With prices ranging from £44.99 to £74.99 this range certainly offers affordable luxury and certainly sits very well against others higher priced in the SWB and intimate pleasure market.

More expensive toys do come with the added advantage of durability as they are designed to last longer, some will have been stressed tested during development to ensure that they continue to deliver, therefore offering value against their higher price points.

I guess, as in all things, you really do have to look at what’s out there and make your choice wisely, as all that glistens isn’t always gold!
