The Good Trade editors endorse products we’ve personally researched, tested, and genuinely love. Learn more about our methodology and business model here.
We love using natural products, especially in the bedroom. These are our top picks for safe sex toys that are cute, discreet, and have other perks, too.
Even a decade ago, owning a pleasure device of any kind felt slightly shameful. It was a secret to be hidden away in our most private drawers, furtively used on lonely nights. This feeling was, in part, due to how sex toys were manufactured to be blatantly realistic and obnoxiously large. Let’s just say, before the ’90s, vibrators were not discreet — or cute.
As we continue to shift our cultural narratives surrounding sexuality, we’re seeing a ripple effect throughout the industries catering to our sexual desires. The sex toy industry has been expanding its approach to pleasure for people with vulvas, well beyond the classic dildo or vibrator model (though these are classic for a reason!). There have also been notable innovations for transgender and non-binary pleasure as well.
Why shop sex toys for women (made by women)?
We love the newer emphasis on wellness-based, versatile models by women designers who are modernizing the industry. They’re helping us to explore our sexuality and desires while also caring for our bodies. No room for shame in this new game, where education reigns and customization is endless. After all, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to sexual pleasure. Below are some of the best sex toys for women — started mainly by women founders who are leading the industry into a new frontier of empowerment and liberation.
Our criteria:
Our editors have personally used and reviewed nontoxic and sustainable products for a decade. Yes, that includes lube and even toys. These are our top picks for natural lubes that are made of organic materials, safe to use, and have other benefits too. We regularly update this list with new finds that meet the below criteria.
- NATURAL & ORGANIC | These toys are made with all-natural and skin-safe materials.
- DISCREETNESS | Each of these brands creates toys that are fun, cute, and discreet enough that you don’t have to feel embarrassed keeping them in (or on!) your nightstand.
- VERSATILE | Whether you’re looking for a solo vibrator or a toy to use with a partner, these brands are versatile and can be used in many ways!

3. Dame
Best For | Doctor-approved sexual wellness products
Product Range | Personal & couples vibrators, lubricants, wipes, supplements, candles, cleaners, STI-testing kits, games
Price Range | $10 – $282
This fun sex toy brand was started by two female founders: One is a credentialed sexologist and the other is an established engineer. Alongside lubes and serums, Dame’s sex toys are sleek, sexy, and even a bit futuristic. The designs are truly a glimpse at how sex toys can be revolutionized, and they challenge our ideas on what these products should look like — take the bestselling Aer suction toy, for example. The founders continue to develop new and innovative products for all — while also closing the pleasure gap. Not sure where to start? Take the brand’s quiz to find the right toy for you!
Customer Review | “Best toy out here! I literally use nothing else and am very loyal to this brand. This company makes their products so well we even purchased the pillow! Very satisfied with everything and not to mention the customer service is outstanding!” – SK (Read all reviews.)
4. Maude
Best For | Holistic sexual wellness products
Product Range | Vibrators, lubricants, condoms, supplements, body care products, candles
Price Range | $18 – $120
We appreciate the minimalist approach to this inclusive, affordable, and beautifully designed bedroom essentials brand, Maude. Its goal is to help modernize the pleasure industry by selling body-safe products that not only look cute on your nightstand but are also functional — like the “burn” candle that doubles as a massage oil or the vibrator that looks like a trendy art piece. Plus, you can grab a travel kit or bundle for double the pleasure and double the fun.
Customer Review | “I didn’t expect to love this as much as I do. I bought this to have as a back up option and to take traveling because of its nice small size. I was always a believer that the suction vibrators worked the fastest but this proved me wrong… the first time I used it I was honestly a bit shocked! Feel incredible, looks sleek and modern, holds a long charge, and is quiet and easy to travel with. This is also a great vibrator for use during sex as it’s slim and doesn’t get in the way. 10/10!” – Lindsey (Read all reviews.)
5. Tabu
Best For | Intimacy essentials for changing bodies
Product Range | Vibrators, lubricants, pillows, body & skincare products
Price Range | $37 – $295
Tabu is not buying the idea that sexual health and pleasure is only for the young. Dedicated to sexual education and wellness at any age, their toys, lubes, and tools are made by a dedicated panel of medical experts, pelvic floor therapists, and gynecologists. Long term vaginal health benefits from attention and care and their thoughtfully designed vulva stimulator and heating wand offer gentle vibrations that stimulate and care for the soft tissues of the vulva and vagina through reproductive years and beyond.
Customer Review | “I’ve never felt better about my body. This has been an investment in my health.” – Bri (Read all reviews.)
6. Ohnut
Best For | Pain & sensitivity management
Product Range | Intimacy support products, lubricants, cleansers
Price | $75
This fascinating toy is a revolutionary device that offers relief to those who find penetrative sex uncomfortable. The brand was founded by a woman who experienced painful sex herself and went on a journey to alleviate the discomfort. During her research, she found that one in every 10 women experiences pain during sex. This inspired her to create the Ohnut ring, which customizes penetration depth. The product is BPA-, phthalate-, and latex-free, and made from FDA-approved body-safe material. Ohnut also offers a lube, sensory brush, and a “getting-to-know-you” mirror for even more intimate moments.
Customer Review | “I love recommending this to my clients who experience penetrative pain. The depth-limiting rings are brilliant not only for modifying penetration, but also for alleviating the anxiety and fear that can be present when pain is involved.” – Laura L. (Read all reviews.)
7. Je Joue
Best For | Low frequency vibrations
Product Range | Personal/couples vibrators & toys, lingerie, lube, cleansers, candles, games
Price Range | $8 – $139
With an emphasis on being sex-positive, Je Joue sells toys (think beads, rings, and handcuffs) as well as vibrators that are “sophisticated and elegantly naughty.” The designers worked with gynecologists and midwives to help make sure its vibrators are beautiful and effective. The unique motors operate at an ultra-low frequency allowing the vibrations to travel more deeply through the body and access more internal pleasure points. So, simply put, they do the job right!
Customer Review | “Really good vibrator. Quality is good and it is very discreet. Easy to use and travel with!” – Allison B. (Read all reviews.)
8. Crave
Best For | Discreet vibrators
Product Range | Pleasure jewelry
Price Range | $15 – $179
Crave was founded by a female industrial designer who hoped to create sophisticated, appealing products in order to change the narrative around women’s pleasure. In fact, some are so elegant that it’s okay to have them in plain sight. We love the portability and sleekness of these devices, making them feel less like a secret to be hidden away. The “Vesper,” for instance, doubles as a necklace and a vibrator, and they also make a leather pair of handcuffs that double as a bold bracelet. From the boardroom to the bedroom, come as you are!
Customer Review | “This little jewel it’s absolutely perfect as a spicy toy and an elegant plus to some outfits…absolutely in love” – Andrea (Read all reviews.)
9. Unbound
Best For | Gender inclusive sex toys
Product Range | Personal/couples vibrators & sex toys, lubricants, condoms,
Price Range | $18 – $138
This brand, Unbound, is fully women-led and run with an emphasis on creating a feminist space to explore and experience women’s sexuality. The products are safe, playful, and inclusive, and we love that you can filter by categories like “beginner,” “couple,” or “multispeed.” They also have a number of sensation toys and nipple or clit clamps if you want to explore pain safely. Our favorite unique design is the “Puff,” which uses a rhythmic sucking sensation and intensity for clitoral pleasure. The Puff is rechargeable, waterproof, and sent in discreet packaging. It’s no surprise that Unbound sex toys have thousands of five-star reviews.
Customer Review | “This is my new favorite vibe from unbound babes! Even the lowest setting is great. Love the flexibility of it. It makes it easy to hold.” – Nekera F. (Read all reviews.)
10. Lioness
Best For | Smart vibrator
Product Range | Vibrator, CBD intimacy products
Price | $229
Liz Klinger, co-founder of Lioness with Anna Lee, saw a need for better sex toys after previously selling intimacy products at home parties. Enter the Lioness 2.0: A smart vibrator (yes, you read that right) built by and for women. Its award-winning technology uses built-in sensors and a mobile app to see your pleasure in real time — and then it’ll adapt to make your orgasms even more satisfying (with over 100 different intensities). It’s an absolute game-changer — and the last vibrator you’ll ever need.
Customer Review | “I’ve been raving about my Lioness to anyone who will listen – which is interesting because I previously would have usually been pretty private about this kind of topic! I guess the experience has been so good I have felt compelled to share the magic. An incredible vibrator that all of us deserve. I feel lucky to have discovered the Lioness, and in turn discover more about myself. Thank you!” – Claire (Read all reviews.)
