Buying your first toy online should feel exciting, not stressful. Yet most people worry about the same things: Is it genuine? Is it safe? Will the parcel say what is inside? What if I do not like it? This guide answers each one, so you can buy sex toys in India with confidence.
Step 1: Decide what you want it for
Start with the experience, not the product. Do you want something for yourself or for both of you? External or internal? Gentle or strong? Quiet? A few quick answers narrow hundreds of products down to a handful.
- Solo, external: bullet vibrators, air-pulse toys, wand massagers.
- Solo, internal: G-spot vibrators, rabbits, dildos.
- For men: masturbation cups and strokers, cock rings.
- Together: vibrating rings, app-controlled toys, games.

Step 2: Check the material
This is the single most important thing for your health. Look for:
- Body-safe silicone (often labelled medical-grade or platinum-cured): non-porous, easy to clean, long-lasting.
- ABS plastic, glass or stainless steel: hard, non-porous and safe.
- TPE or TPR: soft and affordable, but slightly porous, so it needs careful cleaning and is best kept for personal use.
Avoid anything with a strong chemical smell or vague labels like “jelly” with no material listed. Our materials guide explains each one in detail.
Step 3: Buy genuine brands
Fakes are common when a category sits in a legal grey zone. A copied toy may use cheaper, unsafe materials and weak batteries. Signs of a genuine product:
- A named brand you can look up, such as Satisfyer, LELO, TENGA, Fun Factory or Pretty Love.
- Clear specifications: material, charging type, waterproof rating, size.
- A price that is in line with the market. A “LELO” for a few hundred rupees is not real.
- A store that lists its policies, contact details and returns process openly.
You can browse every brand we carry on our brands page.
Step 4: Know what a fair price looks like
Prices in India range from under ₹500 for small rings and pocket strokers to ₹9,000 and more for premium app-controlled toys. Most people spend between ₹1,000 and ₹3,500 on a first vibrator. Our price guide breaks this down by type, and our under ₹1,000 page is the place to start on a small budget.
Step 5: Make sure delivery is discreet
Ask three questions before you order:
- Is the box plain? It should have no product names, images or adult branding.
- What name appears on the label? A neutral sender name is best.
- Where does it ship from? Stock in India means fast delivery and no customs checks.
LustSutra ships every order from our own store house in India, in a plain, unbranded box. Orders are dispatched in 1 to 2 days and arrive in 3 to 7 days across India, with free delivery on every order.
Step 6: Choose how to pay
Many first-time buyers prefer cash on delivery, because nothing appears on a bank or card statement. LustSutra offers cash on delivery across India with no extra fee. Keep your phone reachable on delivery day so the courier can contact you.
Step 7: Read the return policy
Intimate products are personal, so returns have rules. A fair policy accepts unopened items within a reasonable window and replaces or refunds faulty items. Ours: unopened items can be returned within 7 days, and faulty items are replaced or refunded with a free return. Read the details on our returns page.
Step 8: Look after it from day one
Charge it fully before the first use, wash it with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner, and use a water-based lubricant with silicone toys. Our cleaning guide and lubricant guide take two minutes to read.
