Sex toys for older folks

Are these products really designed with older bodies in mind?

Yes. This collection is curated specifically with the physical and sensory changes that come with ageing in focus. That means prioritising ergonomic shapes that are easier to hold and manoeuvre, adjustable features that accommodate varying mobility, softer materials that are gentle on sensitive skin, and a range of intensity levels that give you full control over your experience.

I have reduced natural lubrication. What should I use with these toys?

A good water-based lubricant is the safest choice for most toys in this collection, particularly those made from silicone, since silicone-based lubes can degrade silicone toy surfaces over time. Water-based formulas are also compatible with condoms if you use them over toys for easier cleaning. If you are experiencing significant vaginal dryness, look for a water-based lube labelled as moisturising or long-lasting, and apply generously before and during use.

I have arthritis or limited grip strength. Are there toys here I can actually use comfortably?

Absolutely. Look for products with large, textured buttons or simple one-button controls rather than fiddly touch panels. Toys with a handle, a loop, or a broad flat base are much easier to hold without strain. For restraint or bondage accessories, Velcro or quick-release buckle designs mean you or a partner can fasten and release them without needing fine motor precision.

How do I clean and care for these products safely?

Cleaning depends on the material. Non-porous toys made from medical-grade silicone, stainless steel, or borosilicate glass can be washed with warm water and a mild unscented soap, or wiped down with a toy-safe cleaner. Fully waterproof or submersible toys are the easiest to rinse thoroughly. Fabric items such as padded cuffs or harnesses should be hand washed according to the care label and allowed to air dry completely before storage. Always store toys in a clean pouch or container, kept away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Will my order arrive discreetly?

Yes. All orders from The Sex Shed are shipped in plain, unmarked packaging with no indication of the contents on the outside. The billing description on your bank or card statement is also discreet, so your privacy is protected from the moment you check out to the moment your parcel arrives at your door.
