The Essential Sex Products Every Toronto Adult Should Own

I get asked this question all the time: 'What do I actually need?' Whether you're setting up your first pleasure drawer or realizing your current collection has some gaps, the good news is that a well-rounded setup doesn't require dozens of items. Five to seven core sex products will cover solo play, partnered experiences, and proper care — and the right choices make everything better.

Here's what belongs in every adult's collection, and why skimping on quality in these categories usually backfires.

Start With a High-Quality Personal Lubricant

This is the single most important item you can own. Lube isn't just for special occasions — it's a wellness staple that reduces friction, prevents microtears, and makes every experience more comfortable. Your body's natural lubrication fluctuates with hormones, hydration, stress, and age, so having a reliable bottle on hand is non-negotiable.

Water-based formulas are the safest bet for most people. They're compatible with all toy materials and condoms, easy to clean, and rarely cause irritation. A bottle like Water Slide Personal Lube is perfect for everyday use — lightweight, long-lasting, and body-safe. Keep one by the bed and one in your travel bag.

For anal play specifically, you'll want something thicker and longer-lasting. Silicone-based or hybrid lubes stay slippery without constant reapplication, which matters when you're working with an area that doesn't self-lubricate.

A Versatile Vibrator for Solo and Partnered Play

You don't need a drawer full of toys, but you do need one reliable vibrator. The key is choosing something versatile enough to work solo and during partnered sex. Wearable egg vibrators are excellent for this — small, discreet, hands-free, and designed to stay in place during penetration.

App-controlled models add another layer of fun, especially if you're in a long-distance relationship or just want to hand over control. Something like the Vivid Tadpole App-Controlled Wearable Egg Vibrator ticks all those boxes — rechargeable, quiet, and easy to use whether you're alone or with a partner.

If you're not into insertable toys, a bullet or wand works just as well. The goal is having one go-to option that feels good and doesn't live in the back of your drawer.

Proper Toy Cleaner (Not Just Soap and Water)

If you own any sex products, you need a proper cleaner. Regular hand soap can degrade silicone and other materials over time, and it doesn't always kill the bacteria that matter. A dedicated toy cleaner is formulated to sanitize without damaging your investment.

Look for something alcohol-free and pH-balanced. The Dr. Berman Universal Toy Cleaner works on all materials — silicone, glass, metal, hard plastic — and rinses clean without residue. Spray it on before and after use, let it sit for 10 seconds, then rinse. It takes 30 seconds and prevents infections, irritation, and material breakdown.

This isn't optional. If you're putting something inside your body, you clean it properly. End of story.

A Storage Solution That Actually Works

Tossing your toys in a drawer with random items is how you end up with lint-covered vibrators and mystery stains. You need a designated storage spot — a soft pouch, lockable box, or drawer organizer that keeps everything clean, charged, and ready to use.

Silicone toys shouldn't touch each other directly (the material can degrade), so individual pouches or compartments matter. If you share space with roommates or kids, lockable storage isn't paranoia — it's basic privacy and safety.

A simple fabric bag works fine for one or two items. If you have a bigger collection, invest in a storage case with dividers. Either way, your future self will thank you when you're not digging through a junk drawer at 11pm.

Barrier Protection and Sexual Health Basics

Condoms, dental dams, and finger cots aren't just for STI prevention — they're also useful for keeping shared toys hygienic and reducing cleanup. Even in monogamous relationships, using a condom on a shared toy means you're not cross-contaminating bacteria.

Keep a variety pack of condoms on hand even if you're not using them for penetration. They're handy for covering toys during anal play (way easier than scrubbing every ridge), and they make spontaneous oral safer if you're with a new partner.

Don't forget basic first-aid supplies, either. A small bottle of unscented body-safe lotion, some tissues, and a towel you don't mind designating for sex stuff — these aren't glamorous, but they make the before and after infinitely smoother.

Why Quality Matters More Than Quantity

You'll notice a theme here: none of these recommendations are about having the most toys or the fanciest gadgets. A well-stocked pleasure collection isn't about volume — it's about having the right items, in good condition, that you actually use.

Cheap lube dries out or causes irritation. Flimsy vibrators die mid-session. Skipping toy cleaner leads to infections. Investing in quality essentials means fewer replacements, better experiences, and way less frustration. You don't need 20 items. You need five to seven good ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need toy cleaner, or is soap fine?
Regular soap can degrade toy materials and doesn't always kill harmful bacteria. A proper toy cleaner is formulated to sanitize without damaging silicone, glass, or other surfaces — it's worth the $20 investment.

What's the difference between water-based and silicone lube?
Water-based is safe for all toys and condoms, cleans up easily, but may need reapplication. Silicone lube lasts longer and feels silkier, but it can't be used with silicone toys and is harder to wash off.

How often should I replace my vibrator?
If it's rechargeable and well-maintained, a quality vibrator can last 3-5 years. Replace it sooner if the motor weakens, the material degrades, or it stops holding a charge.

Can I use the same lube for everything?
Water-based lube works for most situations, but anal play benefits from something thicker and longer-lasting. If you're only buying one bottle, start with a good water-based formula and add a specialty lube later if needed.
