Summer’s Hottest Picks
Ah, summer—the season of sun-soaked kisses, skinny dipping, sex on the beach, and steamy flings that leave you sweating in the best way possible. Whether you're flying solo, coupled up, or exploring with multiple partners, why not make this summer your most pleasurable yet?
We’ve compiled a list of the hottest summer must-haves, to get you in the mood.
It’s Too F*cKN Hot
No AC? No problem! Nothing will cool you down like temperature play. Whether you pick a stainless steel or glass toy, try putting it in the fridge before playtime to get some delicious chills. You can also plunge it into bucket of ice when it warms up to body temp to cool it back down. Plus, you can tease your lover with an ice cube to really get some shivers.
Bonus: Did you know that glass and steel dildos are compatible with all types of lubricants AND they’re super easy to clean!

Glas Double Trouble Glass Dildo – This artistically crafted, ribbed, double-headed glass dildo is perfect for sharing with a partner.
Alternatively, if you want a double-ended glass dildo without so much texture, try out Biird’s Ohwii. It' has two separate heads, one designed for G-spot stimulation and the other for P-spot exploration. Plus, it’s truly a stunning color.

Travel-Approved Vibes
Not gonna to lie, traveling with toys can be a bit of a doozy. Having the TSA agent pull a giant dildo out of your bag at security? No, thanks!

Slippery when wet
Nothing kills the mood faster than friction —unless you’re into that (no judgment). But for those who prefer smooth sailing, a water-based or hybrid lube is your BFF. Bonus points if it’s cooling (hello, mint or aloe-infused) for those extra-hot nights.
