How we picked the best sex toy Advent calendars
We started off by deep-diving into our sex Talk board, making sure that we only picked the sex toy Advent calendars that Mumsnet users are lusting after themselves.
Then, we analysed countless consumer reviews of previous years from retailers like Ann Summers, Lovehoney, Satisfyer, Amazon, and more.
We considered what customers on each site were saying, helping us to make sure that the calendars on our list are unanimously loved by people on Mumsnet and beyond.
Some of the items included in the calendars on this list have been personally tested by MNHQ editor, Rebecca, to ensure we give a thorough evaluation.

Not suitable for children, so may be worth keeping out of sight. Although you could always say they’re bells should they accidentally find them… As well as chocolate, each window has a fun or sexy suggestion for you and your partner. Sex and chocolate?

This exciting Advent calendar features Lovehoney’s popular Dream Wand. This vibrator is great because it looks like a back massager, so it’ll spare your blushes if anyone accidentally stumbles upon it.
The vibrator has seven different vibration patterns and four levels of intensity so you can really customise it to suit you. It’s ideal for clitorial stimulation, with some reviews saying you can enjoy a powerful orgasm in minutes. Similarly, the bullet is small in size but oh so powerful and its compact design makes it perfect for travel. Perhaps something you could pack with you if you’re spending Christmas away from home?
Something customers suggested is fully charging the toys ahead of time if you’re buying this as a gift. They are all partially charged but for maximum pleasure, you don’t want the toys to finish before you do!
