Brands We Believe In
Not everything makes the cut.
Romantic Adventures has been in the adult wellness space for twenty-five years. I've been the buyer for ten. In that time I've seen every trend, tested more products than I can count, and developed a very short list of brands that actually earn my recommendation.
What you'll find on this page isn't a catalog. It's a collection — built on quality, values, and the kind of track record that holds up over time. Every brand here has a story worth knowing and a product worth owning.
If it's here, we believe in it.
First word on new finds, plus a birthday gift
We'll tell you when we add something worth your time, send a store discount on your birthday, and share picks for your sign.
We ask for your birthday to send your gift, and because as an adult retailer we're required to confirm you're 18+. We never sell your info. Unsubscribe anytime.
AvidLove Play
We chose AvidLove for toys that perform as well as they look. Their focused range pairs strong motors and dependable remote connections with thoughtful, body-safe designs. Start here if you want a vibrator or couples toy and would rather choose from a few strong options than sort through hundreds of lookalikes.
Curiosity, meet your new starting point.
Metal plugs have a following for a reason. The weight is real, the sensation is distinct, and the way cool metal warms to your body temperature over time is something that has to be experienced to understand.
This three-piece set from AvidLove is designed as a trainer kit — small, medium, and large, starting gentle and building from there. The tapered tips make entry comfortable. The flared heart-shaped jewel base keeps everything secure and adds a touch of visual elegance that's genuinely pretty.
It's also a natural for temperature play: warm it, cool it, and the sensation changes entirely.
Comes in red, purple, or blue jewel.
Why this rose toy is different from the ones that disappoint you.
You've probably seen rose toys everywhere. Maybe you've tried one. Maybe it was... fine.
This one has a patented push-and-pull suction system — not just constant pressure, but a rhythmic in-and-out cycle that feels more like a body than a machine. The nozzle is smaller than most, which means the sensation is focused right where you want it. Waterproof. Long battery life. Ships in plain packaging with a 30-day return window.
That's a pretty low-stakes introduction to what all the fuss is about.
For the guy who tried a cock ring once, and it was a disaster
Too tight. Too loose. Slipped off. Felt like a medical device. We've heard it.
This one fixes the fit problem with an adjustable elastic strap and a locking buckle — you set it where you want it, it stays there.
The vibration is legitimately strong (nine modes, wireless remote with 26-foot range), positioned to do something useful for both people involved. Comes with a storage bag, which is a small thing that matters.
Beginner-friendly, actually. The adjustable fit means you're not committing to a size before you know what works for you.

Start Your RitualHoney Play Box
I have a soft spot for couples who spend time apart, especially military couples. Honey Play Box makes app-connected toys that let partners play together from a distance, with soft silicone and strong motors that are just as fun when they’re in the same room.
Avidlove Lingerie
Avidlove makes lingerie feel approachable: plenty of playful styles, from matching sets to robes and occasion looks, without making dressing up feel like a production. We chose them because there’s room to browse for the mood you’re in and find something you’ll actually want to wear. Extended sizing and worldwide shipping make them a true keeper.
Lingerie & Sets
Sultry matching looks for date night, boudoir energy, and feeling yourself.
Sleepwear & Robes
Soft, flirty, and easy to wear — pretty pieces for lounging and late nights.
Plus Size & Special Occasion
Curve-friendly styles and occasion-ready looks for bridal, honeymoon, and more.
GLÄS
Gläs caught our eye with glass toys that are beautiful to look at and genuinely different to use. Their sculpted shapes invite you to explore texture, weight, and temperature at your own pace. We also like that their collection leaves room for curiosity beyond glass, including bondage gear for couples ready to try something new.
Pleasure, Made Artful
Sculptural glass pieces that look as good on display as they feel in hand. Explore shapes, textures, and temperature play.
A Little Bit of Everything
Curious about restraint, sensation, or a little theatrical flair? Start with a collection that gives you room to discover what you both like. Talk first, choose your limits, and make the evening your own.
A Little Pickle
For anyone who likes their pleasure with a sense of humor. A playful glass piece that refuses to take itself too seriously.

For sensitive bodies
Made with organic aloe vera and nothing your skin will argue with. Lighter than silicone, gentler than most water-based formulas, safe for people who've had reactions to conventional lubes. Toy and condom compatible. A good first lube and a good everyday lube.
For the long game.
Silicone lube doesn't dry out, doesn't wash off in the shower, and doesn't need reapplying every five minutes. Unscented, neutral-tasting, body-safe for sensitive skin. The go-to when you want something that stays out of the way and just works.
Note: not compatible with silicone toys — pair it with everything else.
The everyday workhorse.
Something that works across every scenario without thinking about it, this is the one. Body-safe, hypoallergenic, made in the USA.

Bookshop.org — Where Reading Is an Act of Love
Books have always been where people go to understand themselves. The ones that made you feel seen. The ones you read under the covers. The ones you gave someone when you didn't know how to say the thing out loud.
Bookshop.org is where we send readers when they're ready to go deeper — an online bookstore that lets you shop with purpose. Every purchase supports independent bookshops across the country, and every list on our storefront has been curated by hand.
You'll find our recommendations organized by the conversations we're already having together — desire, connection, communication, intimacy, and the kind of love that actually grows over time.
