Yes got loads when I turned 40. I’ve never felt so sexual as my entire 40s

Neverstopwondering · 23/08/2026 16:28

I have a lot of children of various ages, some are noisy. This means I am concerned they will find sex toys. Therefore whilst my husband was in hospital a while ago I made a secret compartment in one of the large drawers in our bedroom.

It is brilliant for our ever growing collection. You can only access it from inside a drawer and I have all my boring fleece jumpers on top of secret compartment so nobody would accidentally find opening.

I am very proud of my work making it 😁

I do not see the point of them.

daisyydaisyy · 23/08/2026 16:38

I have a few that I use. DP doesn’t give a shit, we don’t live together. Just get one. YABU to ask, you’re a grown woman and you can do as you please.

GreenCaterpillarOnALeaf · 23/08/2026 16:44

Mate absolutely get a sex toy. Why have you waited so long? I’m married and there’s three of us in this marriage if you know what I mean. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Anothermoomin · 23/08/2026 16:47

Several, and a box to put them in with instructions not to open in the event of my untimely demise.

I've got about 10!

Started off 'tame' and we chose bigger ones as time went on

My favourite is called 'the big black bastard'

It's massive

We started off buying a tiny one in boots,moved to lovehoney and ended up buying bbb on ebay (we did peek in ann summers but couldn't find one we liked-i don't know if it was that branch but it was all riding crops and willy pasta)

I want an even bigger one but are struggling to find one that doesn't cost £££

Ali express or Temu can help you, great products very cheap.

Oh wow
Never thought of looking there
Thank you

EmpressaurusKitty · 23/08/2026 20:38

I don’t know about Ali express but Temu is notorious for poor quality so I’d be very careful.

I have DH

Mid 50s. Got several. Use solo but have used when in a relationship too. Didn't buy any until I was mid 40s

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 23/08/2026 20:50

I’m 45. I’ve got a few. All bought by either us together or him. We use them together sometimes I use one on my own. Got our first one in our 20’s as a bit of a sexual favours thing lol

Yeah I'd be concerned about safety of materials etc.

Ionlymakejokestodistractmyself · 23/08/2026 20:56

I have one that looks like a piece of fruit and my DC spotted it 😱 definitely a good idea to hide it!

MrsPhilippaPippaVoss · 24/08/2026 00:40

@Isitwrongtoask magic wand, various butt plugs, different types and sizes of vibs and some bad dragon range of toys / ann summers / ebay sellers

I’ve never been attracted to a lump of plastic.

You should try one, you might lighten up.

MrsPhilippaPippaVoss · 24/08/2026 01:07

for those that can afford the cost the top tier is the sybian model

@TheBroonOneAndTheWhiteOne’s cat has a sex duvet.

My cat just pulls clothes of the airer to have sex with. He’s bloody loud about it too!

To answer the question, I do have a vibrator. And a man! I don’t put the vibrator inside me, just on the clitorus for a quick 30 second speed-gasm once in a while

MyWildOliveGoose · 24/08/2026 02:17

I have a whole drawer full. All my nicest lingerie is in there too. Treat yourself.

Hycosaneyedrops · 24/08/2026 02:44

I have 3, My favourite is a £15 one from Amazon, they don’t have to be expensive.

Nothing wrong with experimenting.

OtterlyAstounding · 24/08/2026 03:45

What a strange question to ask Hmm
Why would knowing whether or not a random selection of strangers own sex toys, influence your decision to get one?

(But perhaps a fleshlight would suit you).

OtterlyAstounding · 24/08/2026 03:55

AbsintheMakesTheHeartGrowFonder · 22/08/2026 23:11

Do you not understand that a sex toy is something people use as well as having sex with their partner, not instead of? I live with my partner but I still might feel like getting off when he’s not here.

Tbf, many people, both male and female, are capable of achieving climax without using devices. It's possible pp just doesn't need anything to assist her. Or perhaps her DH is on call Grin

GrimGusset · 24/08/2026 07:25

I have lots. Some are for me, some are for using with DH, and some are for him. We have favourites. Some are used once and never again. Some are repurchased when they stop working because they’re that good.

Shop online. It’ll be delivered in a plain cardboard box with no company branding on it.

Don’t forget to buy batteries to go with them if they’re not rechargeable toys.

Make sure you have water based lube. Silicone based lube will destroy some toys.

Sunshineandrainbow · 24/08/2026 07:29

Keep an eye on boots £10 Tuesday they sometimes have one.

StrawberryMatchaLatte · 24/08/2026 07:32

Yes, loads over the years but I only use my favourite one now. I now think it's worth investing in a good one and prioritising quality over quantity.
