Best Cheap Sex Toys When You’re On A Tight Budget

With the cost-of-living soaring, it’s difficult to find spare cash for life’s little luxuries – like sex toys. We all want the most bang for our buck at the best of times, never mind at a time when household bills are constantly on the rise. When shopping for adult pleasure products on a tight budget, it’s important to seek out items which are not just low-priced but the best quality at that price, too. With 14 years’ experience as a sex toy reviewer and sex blogger, I’m eager to share my insights with you. I want to help ensure you’re spending that hard-earned cash on the best cheap sex toys for you.

Does A High Price Always Mean Better Quality?

An expensive price tag doesn’t necessarily mean a better quality or more effective product. This is a common misconception which leads people to overspend on items which seem fancy but are ultimately a waste of money.

That said, it’s true that many expensive products earn their high price due to the use of better production materials, higher production costs, more powerful motorised components, the inclusion of the latest technology and many years’ research & thoughtful design.

How do you know whether a high price tag on a product is deserved? Is it possible to find a well-designed, effective sex toy at a lower price point without unnecessary glamorous packaging or simply paying for a brand name? Absolutely.

Don’t fall for the hype – it’s important to do your research, compare similar products, seek out impartial sex toy reviews like the ones you’ll find here at carasutra.com, and invest in pleasure toys which actually work for you without breaking the bank.

Everyone Deserves Effective Sex Toys at Affordable Prices

Isn’t that the absolute truth?! If you’re into sex toys, then you should be able to access effective, great quality sex toys at affordable prices. It’s all about finding those functional, basic pleasure products which work for you and deliver on their promises. Cheap sex toys which do what they say on the tin – or box, or product page!

No-one should have to settle for subpar performance or empty marketing claims just because of a tight budget.

Happily, there are plenty of affordable sex toy options out there which deliver a variety of stimulation types and usage options. Don’t be fooled by a hefty price tag, research and you will discover those hidden orgasmic gems which offer value for money along with erotic thrills.

Affordable does not mean having to compromise on quality or effectiveness.

Buy Sex Toys You Actually Want

On your quest to locate and acquire great quality but cheap sex toys, it’s important to take a step back and think about what you really want or need. As tempting as it may be, don’t splurge carelessly because you received a flashy SALE email from a retailer or get ‘trigger happy’ buying various lowest price toys on the website.

Marketing is often insidious – and before you know it, you’ve spent more than you planned to, on items you don’t know anything about and you’re not sure you even want.

Take some time, away from the lure of the internet and all its flashy sales and offers, to think about the type of sex toy you really want and the features which are most important to you personally. Looking for a sex toy to use with your partner? Include them in this process, communicating your toy desires and asking them for their input.

Without distracting offers, the pull of big brand names and dazzling packaging, you’ll be able to focus on the sex toys which will make the most difference to your solo or shared sex life. After you’ve spent time carefully considering what it is you really want, you can then make a conscious decision, purchasing products based on your actual desires & needs rather than knee-jerk reactions to sales tactics.

The Best Low Budget, Big Impact Adult Toys

When doing your pre-shopping research, you’ll eventually get a good idea of what your perfect sex toy looks like. The next step is actually finding it!

Wading through all the pleasure toy options online and deciding where to spend your cash is an undoubtedly daunting task. Never fear, I’m here to guide you through the world of affordable toys. I’ve curated a list of fantastic sex toys with a variety of stimulation styles and made for different parts of the anatomy, which will leave you satisfied in more ways than one. Amazingly, they’re all less than £20 at usual retail prices. You may even find some of them at a much lower price due to seasonal sales and offers.

Sexual Lubricants

The importance of investing in top-quality, fully body-safe sex lube can’t be overstated. I’ve written several advice guides focusing on great lubricants, as well as the different types available:

Personally, I’m rediscovering the brilliance of lube due to the onset of my perimenopause, but you don’t need a medical reason to use lubricant. Using lube isn’t something to be ashamed of or to shy away from – it heightens sensation, reduces discomfort and painful chafing, and has a wealth of additional pleasure benefits. It’s also an absolute must for any anal adventures.

My favourite lubricant brand is Sliquid, because their lubes are consistently brilliant during use as well as boasting top quality ingredients in their formulations which are body-safe. Try the Sliquid Lube Cube (more details below) to experience a variety from the Sliquid range at an affordable price. You can then invest in a full size bottle of your favourite type. These sachets are also brilliant to pop into your travel bag, as you can use them while you’re away and you don’t have to worry about repacking them for the journey home.

Sliquid Lube Cube

This Sliquid ‘variety pack’ contains 12 sachets of top quality lubricant by Sliquid. It’s a great way to try a selection from the brilliant Sliquid range, and only £12.99. The small size sachets are brilliantly portable too, for a splash of lubrication during your erotic adventures – wherever you may be.
