In a country where even the word "sex" was once whispered behind closed doors, an unexpected transformation is quietly unfolding. Over the past 15 years, I’ve had the rare opportunity to observe — and contribute to — a growing movement in India: the sexual wellness revolution.
From shy WhatsApp inquiries in 2010 to confident online shoppers in 2025, I’ve reviewed, recommended, and written about hundreds of sex toys. And in that time, one thing has become clear: Indian adults are no longer ashamed to explore pleasure — they’re just looking for the right guidance.
???? A Taboo That’s Slowly Breaking
When I first began writing for 18 Plus Toy in the early 2010s, most readers were anxious and confused. People asked questions like:
-
“Will anyone find out if I order a dildo?”
-
“Are vibrators safe for Indian women?”
-
“Can men use pocket pussies without side effects?”
Today, the tone has changed. Now, they ask:
-
“Which strap-on is best for lesbian couples?”
-
“Can I get discreet delivery in Bangalore?”
-
“Do you have automatic blowjob machines?”
This shift is not just about curiosity — it’s about confidence.
???? What Indians Really Want from a Sex Toy
After reviewing hundreds of products, I’ve learned that most Indian users — whether men, women, or couples — want three things:
-
Privacy:
Discreet packaging, secure delivery, and anonymous billing are non-negotiable. -
Safety:
Toys made from body-safe silicone, with quality assurance and clear instructions. -
Real Value:
No overpriced gimmicks. Indians want toys that actually deliver results — whether it's a powerful vibrator or a realistic masturbator.
At 18 Plus Toy, we’ve focused on recommending and curating toys that tick all three boxes — especially for beginners.
????️ Pleasure Is Not a Luxury. It’s Wellness.
Sex toys aren’t just about “fun” — they’re about connection, self-care, and personal freedom. In fact:
-
A vibrator can help women learn about their own bodies and reach orgasm without pressure.
-
A penis sleeve can help men feel more confident during intimacy.
-
A strap-on dildo can empower couples to explore new dynamics.
And yet, many people are still hesitant to take the first step.
That’s why I write — to make it easy.
✅ Beginner Tips: Choosing Your First Toy in India
If you’re new to this world, here are my 3 tips:
-
Start Small & Safe:
Go for a soft, medium-sized dildo or pocket pussy. No need to go extreme on day one. -
Check Materials & Features:
Always choose body-safe silicone, avoid jelly or plastic. Features like heating, thrusting, and vibration can enhance the experience. -
Buy Only from Trusted Indian Sites:
Don’t risk ordering from shady websites. Stick to secure, local platforms like 18 Plus Toy, where every product is tested, and shipping is fast, free, and 100% discreet.
