Babeland Staff Picks — January

With so many toys to choose from, our staff can be a choosy bunch. And since we're always being asked, "What toy do you like best?", we thought it only fair to give you the goods. We come from all walks of life, and represent a variety of ages and interests... while we may not all like the same toys, we're all passionate about sex toys in general! (See our Staff Bios page to learn more about us.)

Every month, six different Babeland staff members will tell you about their favorite toys. Be sure to check back every month to find out which toys we can't live without.

My Pick: G-Ki

I love G-spot stimulation, and have many toys that get the job done. Well, I've ejaculated before, but never like this! The G-Ki is my favorite G-spot toy. The bendable portion allows for me to use the G-Ki solo or partnered, and for simultaneous clit vibration too. The softness of the silicone molds to the body, but it's solid enough for a good firm pressure.

Phoebe — Buyer, Oakland

"When I'm not at Babeland, where I've been working since 2007, I'm playing with my pet turtle or helping friends move with my pickup truck... " More »

My Pick: Tenga Egg

I love the versatile, portable Tenga Egg. I flip it inside out and use it on my Hitachi — the soft material and nubs buffer the rough Hitachi head, and it feels amazing. I once gave the Tenga Egg as a gift at a party, and the other people at the party couldn't stop talking about how cute it was. By the end of the night, everyone had swapped stories about their favorite toys; the Tenga Egg was the life of the party!

"Talking about sex is a passion of mine, so working here at Babeland just plain makes sense... " More »

My Pick: Pure Wand

I have to admit, the first day I worked at Babeland, I was immediately curious (and, I admit it, a little confused) about the curved, stainless steel Pure Wand. Since getting to know the Pure Wand a bit better, though, I've been able to enjoy more intense G-spotting along with deeper, more full-bodied sensation. Good thing I followed my curiosity.

Anne — Director of Marketing, Oakland

"My life's passion has been talking and writing about sex. And on a personal note, I believe Prince's music is the lyrical equivalent of sex... " More »

My Pick: Laya Spot

I traveled to Cancun and took the Laya Spot vibrator with me; it was the perfect travel companion because it's small, runs on batteries, and looks nothing at all like a vibrator (which makes the airport security line much less nerve-wracking). The Laya Spot, my daily margarita, and the Mayan ruins were the highlights of my trip!

Monster — Sex Educator/Sales Associate, Oakland

"I rescue animals, love silent/horror films, study coronary science and work part-time as a barber... " More »

My Pick: Goodfella

I love this cock the most. For someone like me, realism is important and this one is the most realistic piece of equipment I have found on the market. It's made of Vixskin, which gives it that squishy, fleshy texture (while still being high-quality silicone). It's got balls for added stimulation and realness. I enjoy that it's an "average"-sized toy, as I don't like being too flashy. And the Goodfella can also be nicely tucked into my Spareparts Joque Harness so I can be ready whenever the mood strikes me.

Amy — Sex Educator/Sales Associate, NYC

"When I'm not selling vibrators and teaching workshops (anal sex workshops are my favorite!), I can be found singing and dancing my heart out... " More »

My Pick: Babeland Condoms

Babeland Condoms are the one thing that contributes most to making my sex life fabulous. They make me feel safe and sexy all at once, and the lube actually feels good on my sensitive bits! My partner loves them because they're super thin, so he can feel everything. And best of all, they come in a friendly bright blue wrapper that practically screams "Yay, sex is awesome!"
