If there is one thing I am constantly asked in regard to toys it's "what toys are good but won't break my bank?" and/or "what would you suggest under $20 that isn't a waste of money?"
As someone who once worked in a sex shop, I totally understand how hard it can be to decipher a good toy from a bad one. Not only is the market flooded with new products every day, there's so much to sort through that it can be rather hard to tell which toys really are worth it... especially when you can't touch them or feel their power.
Since it's something I'm asked about so often (almost daily), and something I know quite a bit about, I thought I'd put together a list of my fave 15 affordable toys. Each of these are actually are worth the money and won't crap out on you after a few sessions.
A few things to note:
I'm writing this list in no particular order. I like them all for different reasons and purposes.
If you don't see a product you're interested in on the list, leave a comment. If it's one I know of I'll give you my input.
Keep in mind that every person is different and what might work for one person might not work for another. If you see something on the list that didn't work for you, don't automatically assume that all toys are bad and none of the other ones will help. Sometimes all it takes is something new to do the trick.
The quoted prices may be higher or lower depending on where you shop - at the time of writing this they are all under $20. Of course I would totally love if you purchased from my online sex toy store, but if you find something priced cheaper elsewhere, please save the cash.
All products I'm listing are body safe! I won't suggest something if I think it's poorly made or made of materials that aren't good for you. That way, you can all shop with confidence.
Lastly, while you can find some sex toys at lower prices on Amazon it doesn't mean that they are reliable or quality products. There are many unbranded duplicates floating around that are rather shoddy. Use your discernment and shop smart.
Top Sex Toys & Lubes Under $20 List
Platinum Edition Butterfly Kiss
I realize that I said I wasn't listing this in any particular order but I'll be honest, when it comes to the Butterfly Kiss there is a reason I listed it first - it's got to be one of the best vibrators that I've seen for under $20. It's light weight, easy to use, has multiple functions, is waterproof, a great size for g-spot stimulation, is powerful yet very quiet compared to other toys, is soft, supple and flexible making insertion easy and is very easy to care for.
The only downside is it's made of TPR, which means you'll likely have a hard time fully sterilizing it. Having said that, there is a silicone version that's under $20 as well. It isn't as squishy or flexible, but if that doesn't matter to you then it's an amazing buy.
Honestly, if there was one product I would suggest for those wanting an affordable internal vibrator that was very powerful and targeted for g-spot use - this would be it!

System Jo Flavored Lube
If there is one thing I think everyone should have, it's a really good bottle of flavoured lube like the ones System Jo makes. Not only are the flavours delicious, but the product has a very low consistency of glycerine making it safe for use during intercourse.
Aside from that, it doesn't get sticky or tacky, maintains its consistency, smells great and tastes amazing, is clear so you don't have to worry about staining clothing or the sheets, has no artificial sweetener or aftertaste, and is probably the most affordably priced lube for the amount and quality.
Whether you're looking for small size bottles (so you can try a bunch) or a larger version, System Jo has a pretty big assortment available so there's something for everyone.
My personal faves are Raspberry Sorbet, Vanilla Cream, Double Chocolate, and Banana Lick.
In A Bag Pocket Rocket External Stimulator
The very first clitoral stimulator I ever received was the Pocket Rocket. At the time I didn't have the highest expectations since it was so small and looked kinda cheap, but boy was I surprised. While mine crapped out after 3 years (which is a long time for sex toys) it did the job on many an occasion.
It's lightweight, easy to use and care for, very powerful, rather quiet, only uses one battery, is waterproof, made of body safe hard ABS plastic, can be easily travelled with, and is compatible with pretty much any lube. Having said that, it's meant for external stimulation only so you probably won't even need lube.
If you're looking for a good, discreet, and very affordable clitoral stimulator I would highly suggest this one!
Blush Sexy Things G Slim Vibrator
Ahh, the G-Slim Vibrator - one of the best yet cheapest g-spot products I've ever come across!
Not only is the product made of body safe material, but it's also comfortably slim allowing for a very easy insertion. The head of it is firm and round, but more then that - it's wide enough to offer a large surface area for stimulation. A feature I find a lot of g-spot products lack.
With its ergonomic design, easy controls, and powerful vibrations, the G Slim offers unmatched functionality and pleasure, making it the best choice in its price range for anyone seeking an exceptional G-spot stimulator.
If you're struggling to find your G-spot, this post I created G-Spot Guide: Helpful Tips, Tricks, and Suggestions will likely help. This post on basic g-spot vibes has some other options available is the one mentioned here doesn't interest you.
JimmyJane Ersa Butt Plug Set
When it comes to toys that are meant to go in your butt I only suggest silicone as it's non porous and won't absorb bodily fluids, lube, or bacteria. It's just a no brainer when it comes to that kind of play. I also pretty much always suggest Tantus toys as they're my absolute favourite factoring in both design and materials (they use the highest grade silicone).
That said, if you have some extra money kicking around I suggest you graduate up and get the Tantus Little Flirt as it's one of the best for beginners. Having said that, if you're short on cash, but want something that comes really close to the top of the line products - while also giving you some extra bang for your buck - the JimmyJane Ersa Butt Plug set probably the closest you're going to get.
They're made of silicone, have a flared base (making them perfectly safe for anal use), are small enough to fit comfortably, and have a tapered head for an easier insertion. More than that, with two different sizes they're great for beginners that want to try butt play and graduate to a larger size when they're comfortable and ready.
Trojan Pleasure Pack Condoms
Okay, so I know these aren't sex toys, but if there is one thing that I'm adamant about, it's that everyone should be practicing safe sex. While I understand that most people don't want to use condoms due to the feeling, I think that what most people are used to is not even close to the variety of condoms that are currently being made.
From thin to coloured, non latex to flavoured, condoms have evolved in ways most probably never thought possible. Thanks to these new types of condoms people are able to explore their sexuality, partner, and likes/dislikes on a whole new level!
I know most people might not think that condoms should be something included in this post, but the truth is, condoms not only help to keep us safe, they can add a whole new element to foreplay and intercourse.
For those of you that want to try something fun, new, safe and possibly arousing the Trojan Pleasure Pack is a perfect place to start.
GoodHead Glow In The Dark Helping Head Stroker
When it comes to masturbators or things used for stroking, I'm at a loss for one simple reason... I don't have a dick. Picking out something really great isn't something I can vouch for from personal experience. Fortunately, there are some products that allow me the ability to talk about them with a reference to a shared experience.
The GoodHead Glow In The Dark Helping Head Stroker is designed to be used while someone is performing oral sex; simply slip it over the penis and your partner gets to enjoy the soft, textured interior as you stroke (with your hand), while giving them a blow job. Having said that, it's also great for those who have a longer penis or those that have a gag reflex - it takes up space and doesn't allow for the penis to go too deep.
While it's meant for partnered use, it can also be used during a masturbation session to add some extra sensations and stimulation. On that note, I would suggest using a good water based lube to avoid any uncomfortable friction, tugging, or pulling.
All of that said, it's also lightweight, supple and squishy, easy to care for and clean, has grooves which allow for a great non slip grip, is long enough (with two open ends) to allow for different sized penises and is very inexpensive. Aside from that, the fact that it doesn't resemble a vulva/vagina is a bonus as it makes it discreet and unrecognizable should a nosy roommate, friend, or anyone else come across it.
Bodywand Mini Massager
The Bodywand Mini Massager is a compact yet surprisingly powerful little toy that proves good things really do come in small packages.
Designed for convenience and discretion, this mini wand delivers focused vibrations that make it perfect for external stimulation. Whether you're using it solo or with a partner, its small size makes it easy to maneuver while still packing enough intensity to get the job done.
It's also great for travel - toss it in a bag, and you're set for pleasure on the go. On that note, you could take it just about anywhere and no one would be any the wiser. They'd just think it was a massager.
Plus, with its simple one-touch control, you don’t have to fuss with complicated settings - just turn it on and enjoy.
Daze 7 Inch G-Vibe
This vibrator is all about hitting the right spot with just the right amount of pressure. Its curved design makes it easy to reach the G-spot, and the smooth silicone feels amazing against the skin. It’s not too thick, not too thin - just that perfect in-between that makes it comfortable while still delivering a satisfying fullness.
Although it can be used as a dildo in off mode, the vibrations on the Daze 7 Inch G-Vibe are strong without being overwhelming, and the different settings give you plenty of options to explore.
Overall, it’s a solid choice for anyone looking for a reliable dildo vibrator hybrid that actually does what it says. It’s got power, a shape that works, and a quality feel that makes it a go-to. If you’re after something that combines simplicity with effectiveness, this one won’t disappoint.
Lover's 3-in-1 Massage Candle Trio in 3 x 1.75oz/50g
For those of you looking for something more romantic then sexual, as in not a toy but still great for connecting with each other, I highly, highly suggest adding some massage candles into the mix. Not only do they help dim the lighting and set the mood, they can be used for temperature play and a really great sensual massage.
When I first got my massage candles I was a little nervous to pour it on myself as I thought it would burn. To my surprise the oil was warm, comforting, relaxing, and smelled amazing!
They're made of all natural ingredients so you don't have to worry about harsh chemicals. They also moisturize like nothing I've seen before, and better still, doesn't leave you feeling like your coated in wax or oil. Your skin is smooth, soft and supple, not to mention the fact that you smell great after. I personally think this three pack is great as it gives you a good bang for your buck and different scents to play with.
The only suggestion, make sure if you're using condoms that you wash your hands (and genitals if you touched them), as oil is not compatible with latex and can weaken the condoms.
Although it's a different brand, they're all pretty much the same - click the to watch my review of the the Vanilla Lava Lotion Massage Candle.
Icicles No. 05 Glass Dildo
I know this is a list of sex toys under $20, and with the Icicles No. 05 Glass Dildo coming in at just over the price point I'm kinda pushing it. But in all fairness, you likely won't find a decent glass dildos for anything less. That said, I feel like I had to include it just to make sure that those who want to play with glass safely, can.
What really stands out is the texture. The swirled ridges along the shaft add just the right amount of sensation without being too intense. Whether you use it warm or cool (because temperature play with glass is a game-changer), it brings a whole new dimension to solo or partnered play. Plus, the flared base makes it easy to grip and maneuver, whether you're taking things slow or going for deeper pressure.
Moreover, it has a weightiness that feels great in your hands and the non-porous surface makes it easy to care for and clean as it won't absorb bodily fluids, lube, or bacteria. On that note, you can use any type of lube you'd like since it won't interact with the material.
This is one of those toys that feels luxurious, looks gorgeous, and delivers in all the right ways. If you’ve never tried glass before, this is a great introduction. For those that aren't familiar, I created a Beginners Guide: Glass Sex Toys that has all of the information you need about them.
Elle Liquid Silicone Bunny Dual Vibe
This dual vibe is one of those toys that feels like it was made to fit just right. The silky silicone gives it a smooth, almost velvety texture that feels amazing against the skin, and it’s flexible enough to move with your body but firm enough to give the pressure you need. If you like dual stimulation, this one covers all the bases without feeling awkward or bulky.
What’s really nice about this vibrator is how comfortable it is to use. Some dual-stimulation toys can be stiff or hard to position, but this one is flexible so it works with you, and the range of settings gives you options, whether you want deep, rumbly vibrations or something more gentle to start with.
Whether you're exploring solo or bringing it into the bedroom with a partner, it adds a little something extra without being complicated. If you’re into blended stimulation and want something that feels as good as it looks, the Elle Liquid Silicone Bunny Dual Vibe definitely worth a try.
