With Victoria coming out of another lockdown and the weather outside cooling right off, it's no surprise Aussie are continuing to turn to sex toys to keep things interesting and steamy in the bedroom.

One of Australia’s largest online adult stores, Wild Secrets, decided to find out who was snapping up the most adult toys in the country, after discovering that 75 per cent of orders were being placed on-the-go using a mobile rather than a computer.

When it comes to which Aussies are purchasing the most, look no further than NSW. As well as beating all states for first place, Sydney purchases more sex toys than any other city.

In second place for sex toy purchases is Melbourne, and in third place Brisbane. Per capita, however, Tasmania buys more toys than any other state.

New releases such as the Vush Rose 2 Bullet Vibrator feature frequently on the invoices of sex toy shoppers as one of the most popular items.

The results were shared at the end of summer, with Sydneysiders coming out on top, Melburnians coming in second, and Brisbanites rounding out the top three.

Honey Birdette's founder, Eloise Monaghan, said she wasn't too surprised by the results as “sex and hot weather just tends to go hand in hand”.

Since the beginning of the pandemic in 202, the brand has seen a huge spike in sales, with some of their adult toy sales up 345 per cent.
