We’re lovers of all things novelty, and we’re particularly crazy for sex toys that don’t look like sex toys—for example, the Rub My Duckie, a vibrator masquerading as a rubber duck.

For people who are entering the world of sexual wellness, vibrators and sex toys can be intimidating. Societal taboos can even make it feel a little dirty for wanting to own one. But as it turns out, there’s nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to wanting to own sex toys, as pleasure is as much a part of sexual wellness as periods and annual exams.

But for those still feeling a bit daunted by the more anatomically explicit or downright intense designs, looking into less obvious, more discreet and unique sex toys is a good starting point. Additionally, it’s nice knowing that if an impromptu visitor were to stop by, you wouldn’t have to panic about the toy you accidentally left sitting on the bedside or drying in the shower.

Below, you’ll find 10 discreet sex toys that might even fool your mother when she visits.

Bath time just got a whole lot better!

This is a childhood toy with an adult upgrade. You can use the ducky’s head for softer stimulation, and for more targeted pleasure, go for the tail. It’s simple, straightforward, and effective.

A unique sex toy that's hiding in plain sight, this one sits in our tester’s bathtub beside a real, non-vibrating duck. Visitors have been none the wiser.

Blender by Bellesa

Go ahead, put the Blender by Bellesa on your makeup table—no one will know that it’s not part of your typical beauty routine. This toy may look just like the makeup sponge it’s named after (it’s uncanny), but it’s a versatile silicone vibrator that fans say is powerful, soft, and a total win.

Like other Bellesa toys, the Blender is a clit stimulator, with five speeds and no preset patterns. It’s also waterproof (fully submersible, in fact) and rechargeable by USB.

Cute Little Fuckers Princette

The Cute Little Fuckers Princette is proof that not all monsters are scary.

There’s an endless array of butt plugs out there, many of which come in various colors, materials, and finishes. But even if they come with a decorative flared base, they’re often still very much identifiable as a butt plug, and that’s where the Princette stands out. It does have a flared base (something you should always make sure a toy has if you’re going to use it for internal anal stimulation). However, it’s cute enough to pass as a shelf decoration.

Cute Little Fuckers is known for its gender-neutral approach to all its multi-function toys. So although fantastic as a butt plug, Princette’s textured tip also makes it perfect for clitoral stimulation. And if you’re into nipple teasing, the little “tentacles” are ideal for “hugging” your nipple with vibrating pleasure.

Crave Vesper 2

Save yourself some carry-on space when travelling by wearing this clever vibrator around your neck. You heard us right!

There’s something so empowering and sex-positive about wearing a secret sex toy disguised as simple jewelry—it’s a way of expressing that you control your sexual freedom. And while there are other necklace vibrators on the market, some look more like a lifeguard’s whistle than jewelry. Crave, on the other hand, creates simple, chic 24K-plated gold, silver, onyx, rose gold, or two-tone metal pieces. Each necklace—an elegant slender metal pendant on a matching chain—is fully waterproof and rechargeable. You can top off any outfit with this necklace, and those around you will be none the wiser. (And then later, you can cycle through the different intensities and modes using the tiny button on the pendant.)

Don’t underestimate this little accessory: It’s hyper-powerful and packs a significant punch. Every detail of the Vesper 2 was thoughtfully designed to serve a purpose: its modern shape, for example, isn’t just there for aesthetic appeal but provides targeted stimulation our testers loved.

If the idea of wearable toys intrigues you, you can also pick up a matching pair of ID Cuffs or their leather cousin, the Icon Cuffs, which can be stacked as a statement bracelet or worn as handcuffs during sex.

Vush Gloss Bullet Vibrator

This lipgloss brings all the boys (and everyone else) to the yard. The Vush Gloss bullet vibrator offers 10 speeds of targeted vibration in a classic bullet shape that oh yeah, just happens to look like a highly aesthetic lipstick case.

This quiet, waterproof Vush vibrator comes with a travel case so you can toss it in your makeup bag without anyone being the wiser, a feature that reviewers love. For fun on the go, we think this is a winner.

Unihorn Heart Throb Unicorn Pulsating Vibrator

We guarantee your experience with the Unihorn Heart Throb will surely be magical.

If you’re looking for a side of whimsy with your sex tech, the Unihorn Heart Throb Unicorn vibrator is for you. The brand offers five different unicorns, each with a unique mouth that offers fluttering, tongue, massaging, pulsing, or twirling sensations. To choose the most unassuming unicorn, we went for the pink Heart Throb, as its mouth is perfectly rounded like a horse’s nose and didn’t look out of place sitting on a bookshelf beside our vintage My Little Ponies. This playful-looking toy isn’t just a novelty item; our reviewer praised its powerful dual motor that lets users switch between the pulsing mouth, the vibrating body, or both.

Our testers said the powerful pulsing provided a unique sensation from other vibrators, most pleasurable when hovered just above the clitoris, with the rapid pulsing “even more titillating” than straight-up contact.

Add a little bit of spice to your sex life with the Emojibator Chili Pepper.

If you’re looking to spice up your sex life (not literally, because, ouch), then this Chili Pepper vibrator from Emojibator is the way to go. The super-soft, body-safe silicone and perfectly tapered chili “tip” makes for divine targeted stimulation. The brand is known for its fun, novelty sex toy designs and has enough emoji-inspired sex toy picks for you to build a whole shopping basket.

If chili peppers aren’t your thing, you can consider adorning your kitchen counter with a fruit bowl complete with a strawberry, eggplant, banana, pickle, cherry, and, of course, the chili pepper. Since it’s good to wash your produce, you can do so safely, knowing these are waterproof. Additionally, all are rechargeable, which beats food with an expiration date.

Satisfyer Glowing Ghost

This Glowing Ghost vibrator is a little less spooky and little more sexy.

Beware, this ghost will haunt you…with constant thoughts of the pleasure it brings. Luckily, you won’t have to banish this phantom to a locked drawer—it makes a spookily cute accent on your bedside table.

The glow-in-the-dark body of this air pulse vibrator will illuminate your nights, and its air-pulsing mouth will give you all the right kind of goosebumps with 11 pressure and 12 vibration settings. Our reviewer found that the all-white body gave this toy a sleek appearance inconspicuous enough to let the waterproof toy dry on the bathroom counter after taking it for a sultry shower.

Unbound Bender Internal Vibrator

Flexible, versatile, and rechargeable, the Unbound Bender is a beginner-friendly vibe—and no one has to know. The waterproof, body-safe silicone vibrator bends and flexes to create shapes that can help target erogenous zones external and internal, including the clitoris and G-spot, with 10 speeds and patterns of vibration.

Unbound’s one-button operation makes it easy to use alone or with a partner. (It’s safe to use in conjunction with penetrative sex, too.) It’s a workhouse, but with sleek lines and pastel shades, it could double as a mod paperweight or desk ornament, and no one would be any the wiser.

Iroha Temari Kazé

Though this compact teaser may look like a quirky lip balm, it's actually a vibrating egg that packs a serious punch.

Iroha’s selection of toys look more like miniature works of modern art than vibrators. We’re especially fond of the Temari Kazé. Its egg shape and colorful Japanese-inspired designs make it look like a small trinket box—in fact, our reviewer leaves it out on her bedside table.

This pretty, egg-shaped toy can reach powerful intensities but is designed not to transmit those vibrations to the hand holding it. The rounded shape lets you choose between more dispersed external stimulation to your vulva but still truly delivers if you prefer to place it directly over your clitoris. Unlike the occasional over-stimulation from a more narrow vibrating tip, our tester found it highly comfortable. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t powerful, though: the highest setting took our tester to a double orgasm.

Sexual play should be comfortable and safe

No matter what sex toy catches your eye, there’s a sex toy out there for you. Every body is different, and so are personal preferences when it comes to pleasure—it can mean finding the vibrator, butt plug, harness, or sleeve that curls your toes can take some experimentation.

When you’re shopping for sex toys, keep an open mind—there’s an abundance of different sensations and intensities that can be created for every erogenous zone. What’s most critical is that you use all toys as directed by the manufacturers for your safety and your comfort—there’s nothing sexy about an ER visit.
