Gifts

And for those that want to celebrate Pride in a different way, our friends at LELO have a few products that will make your Pride weekend even more festive.

For People With Vulvas | IDA Wave 

Despite what so many of us have been taught about masturbation, solo play can be just as connective and passionate as partnered sex.  IDA Wave brings this idea to life with its app-controlled, dual action vibrator that massages the clitoris from every angle.  Using hands free technology, IDA Wave simulates the sensation of fingering on the g spot without actually lifting a finger! 

For Gender Euphoria | SONA 2 Cruise 

Regardless of your gender, your genitals contain highly sensitive nerve tissue that can be stimulated through oral sex. SONA 2 Cruise uses sensonic technology to simulate oral sex, massaging that sensitive tissue with the perfect combination of gentleness and intensity.  Place SONA 2 Cruise on the visible part of the clitoris or tip of the penis, and explore all 12 vibration settings until you find the one that feels made for you! 

For Penises or Strap-Ons | TOR 3 

Because most people do not orgasm from penetrative sex alone, adding a vibrating ring to a penis or strap-on increases the chances that all partners will experience pleasure.  With eight different vibrational patterns, TOR 3 boasts 100% more powerful vibrations than any other ring, making it the perfect addition to a strap-on during solo or partnered play. 

For Versatility | GIGI 2 

Whether you’re single or partnered, a top or a bottom, new to sex toys or a seasoned veteran, GIGI 2 has something for everyone.  With a tapered, flattened tip that can be used internally or externally, GIGI 2 can pleasure the clitoris, g-spot, anus and beyond.  With its simple, effective design, GIGI 2 allows you to focus your attention on exploring brand new sensations. 

For Expansive Pleasure | Smart Wand 2 

Many people focus their sexual experiences on only the genitals, when actually each of us have countless erogenous zones to explore.  SMART WAND 2 is a hand-held massager with a longer handle, so you can reach all areas of your body including the back of your neck, lower back, inner thighs, and more.  Use SMART WAND 2 as a warm up before partnered play, or treat yourself a sensual full body massage. 

For Anyone | BILLY 2 

Curious about anal play, but not sure where to begin?  BILLY 2 offers an unintimidating intro to anal, whether or not you have a prostate.  With BILLY 2, you know that you are exploring anal with a vibrator that is body safe, waterproof, and ergonomically shaped for the anatomy of the anus.  Start by running BILLY 2’s tip around the rim of the anus, slowly deepening as it feels pleasurable.  And don’t forget your lube!
