The 2025 Sexual Wellness Awards

You deserve to come.

We’ll let you in on a little secret, Bustle readers. We love you, we care about you, and we want you to feel your best. Not just good, not just fine, but flushed, shaking, and blissfully weak in the knees. Enter: Our third annual Sexual Wellness Awards, aka the Oscars of pleasure.

We asked a panel of 11 sexperts — e.g., therapists, educators, sexologists, and the founder of an NSFW boutique — to share their top recommendations for sex toys across a range of categories, and they delivered. Picks include a classic vibrator that deserves a spot in the Erotic Hall of Fame, a buzzing strap-on, double-ended steel, pleasure oil, sex gummies, and so much more.

Life is short. Don’t you deserve to enjoy yourself?
