We're great fans of accessorizing in the bedroom. Au naturel stimulation is wonderful, but sex toys can do things that people just can't. The sex toy industry is now attracting an impressive $15 billion a year in global sales, and with a plethora of clever products at a range of prices on the market, we're spoiled for choice. This also means that smart shopping can be tricky.
To help you cut through the noise, we're curating a roundup of some of our favorite picks. We've got you covered with everything from silky lube that will take both your partnered and solo play to the next level to a bullet that packs a surprising punch. Click through to browse some seriously sexy finds, and check back as we continue to add more. You might discover something you never knew you needed. Happy shopping!
You may think that all lubes are created pretty much equal. You'd be wrong. This lube is to other lubes what silk underwear is to a spandex blend.

We're super amped to try the Lioness vibrator when it's out in the fall. This smart vibe records vaginal temperature and motion and connects with an app that delivers users insight into their sex lives — from how long it takes them to get aroused to when in their menstrual cycles sex might feel best. Since the fundraising campaign for it was launched on Indiegogo on February 9, it has already attracted $76,000, which is $26,000 more than its initial goal of $50,000. Hop over to Indiegogo to claim yours.

Instead of thinking of your G-spot as a magical love button that will drive you wild if only you can find it, think of it as a region of sensitive tissue located on the "front" (anterior) wall of the vagina that can feel wonderful when stimulated. Ask your partner to make a "come hither" motion with his or her fingers inside you, or give this boomerang-shaped baby a whirl. Its ergonomic design makes solo G-spot adventures a cinch.
