Sometimes, the classics just don’t cut it. Sure, vibrators and cuffs have their place, but what about the toys that don’t make the typical list? The ones that spark real curiosity or push you into a totally new kind of play?
Here’s a list of seven fun, bold, and less-talked-about pleasure toys that might just change the way you think about pleasure. Some are a little intense, some are surprisingly simple, but they all offer something different.
1. Nipple Suckers
These are nothing like clamps, even though they’re often lumped into the same category. Nipple suckers use suction, not pressure. That means instead of squeezing, they pull.
This creates a rush of sensitivity. It can make even light touch feel electric after they’re removed. They’re also easy to use solo or with a partner. For some, they boost arousal fast. For others, they offer a new way to explore sensation in areas that often get overlooked.
2. Anal Hook
Not for beginners, but definitely unforgettable. An anal hook is a firm, curved piece of metal that slides into the anus, with the other end often attaching to rope, restraints, or a harness. This toy is used more in bondage-style play. Once inserted, the hooked end can tug with movement, adding a deep, internal sensation alongside the external stimulation of restraint or tension.
The experience is all about intensity. It’s not casual or soft. But when done safely, it can add a whole new layer to your kink or power play. Important note here: always go slow, use proper hygiene, and never forget lube.
3. Double Penetration Strap
There’s something undeniably thrilling about double penetration, but not everyone is in a position to try it with two partners. This toy bridges that gap.
It’s a wearable strap with two separate insertable parts. One goes vaginally, the other anally. This allows one person to deliver a dual experience without needing an extra set of hands. It’s hands-free, body-powered, and can feel incredibly connected or intense, depending on how it’s used.
Best part? You control the rhythm and depth of both sides, which is hard to do with other setups.
4. Wartenberg Wheel
It looks like a medieval torture tool. But it’s actually built for pleasure.
The Wartenberg wheel is a spiked wheel that rolls over the skin. No, not to cut or hurt, but to create a sharp, tingling sensation that wakes up nerve endings in a big way. When rolled lightly, it’s a prickly tease. When pressed harder, it becomes much more intense. And for some, that mix of fear and thrill is exactly what turns them on.
Use it on thighs, stomach, arms, or anywhere you want to heighten sensation. Pair it with a blindfold to take it up a notch.
5. Tongue Vibrator
Not a vibrator shaped like a tongue, but a tiny vibrator for the tongue.
It straps on or rests against the tongue and lets you deliver intense, buzzy pleasure during oral. It’s basically supercharging your mouth. That means oral play becomes more stimulating for the receiver without requiring much more movement or pressure.
It’s great for clitoral or penile stimulation, and it turns regular licking or sucking into a whole new type of foreplay. Small, creative, and surprisingly effective.
6. Electro-Stimulation Pads
Electric stimulation might sound extreme, but it doesn’t have to be painful. These pads deliver mild pulses that cause muscles to contract and release. That makes every little movement feel amplified.
You can place the pads on the thighs, stomach, or even more intimate areas (as long as they’re designed for safe use there). The result is often described as buzzing, tightening, or pulsing waves of sensation.
There’s also something mental about giving up control to an invisible rhythm. It can tap into submission, heighten arousal, or simply offer something you’ve never felt before.
7. Inflatable Butt Plug
This one starts small. Then it gets serious. Unlike a regular butt plug, which stays the same size, this one can expand once inserted. You pump it manually to gradually stretch and fill. That means you’re in full control of the intensity. Start small, increase slowly, and explore how much fullness or pressure feels good.
It’s a great way to train for larger toys or new types of anal play. But it’s also incredibly satisfying on its own. The inflation creates pressure that some find deeply arousing, especially when paired with other forms of stimulation.
Want to Break Routine? This Is How You Do It
If you’ve been feeling a bit stuck in your usual sex routine, exploring toys like these can be a total reset. They’re fun, a little daring, and often way more versatile than people expect.
But a quick reminder here: always prioritize safety. That means communication, lube, proper hygiene, and understanding how to use each toy correctly. Start slow, talk about boundaries, and check in regularly during play.
Trying something new should feel exciting, not overwhelming. These toys offer the chance to explore different sensations, step outside your comfort zone, or maybe even discover a new favorite.
Pleasure should never feel limited to the basics. And sometimes, the best discoveries come from the toys you never thought to try.
