“For Valentine's Day this year, Wild Secrets is seeing people buy sex toys for couples and solo play because the event can be a celebration of our partner as well as ourselves,” she says.
Toys that harness the power of ‘air pulse technology’ are a clear favourite — “we sell one every minute or so,” says Vanessa — as are app or remote-controlled products known as ‘sextech’.
Read on for a list of adult toys that you can shop online right now in time for an extra-special Valentine’s Day.
SILA by LELO, $259 from Wild Secrets
LELO’s new sonic wave clitoral massager SILA does what it says on the box; using gentle sonic waves, the chic and stylish toy stimulates the pleasure zone equally and gradually leading to a sensual and slow build-up of orgasm.
The SILA boasts eight vibration settings, is waterproof and made of extra-soft, body-safe silicone in pink, aqua or lilac.

Wild Secrets Envy, $63.99
