New to sex toys and feeling overwhelmed? Maybe you already have toys but want something new? Lockdowns across the world have created a surge in sex toy sales and pushed sex companies to innovate on toys. Whether it’s your first toy or fifth, choosing the right sex toy can be overwhelming. 
This week we chat with sex expert Ashley Cobb to figure out the ins and outs of sex toys, what’s hot on the market right now. Paul Jaques, Lovehoney’s quality and technical manager, also joins to talk about sex toy trends. We discuss all things innovation: sound, battery life, and a future of more sustainable toys.

Figure out the right toy or toys for you in 2021!
