As professional shoppers, we understand the kind of joy that only comes with receiving a package in the mail. Nothing quite matches the high of seeing a hulking cardboard mass with your name on it taking up your doorway (except ripping it open to find out the contents inside). That's why we fully understand the appeal of subscription boxes. The frequent deliveries of your fav goodies can come monthly, quarterly, or yearly with a neat little surprise curated just for you and your interests — food subscription boxes perfect for holiday gifting, beauty subscription boxes for sampling makeup goodies without having to purchase full sizes, and yes, even some of the adult variety.
That's right: sex subscription boxes are a thing. And it turns out they have just as much variety as every other subscription box under the sun. There are ones carefully curated for couples of all genders, sexualities, and kinks. Want to try out anal sex toys? There's a box for that. Vulva-to-vulva stimulation? We've got strap-ons and harnesses a-plenty. What about new unique spanking paddles? Hello, Kinkbox. Seasonal lingerie from reputable designers? Check! Whether you're on the hunt for some niche tantric sex toys to level up your already active sex life or wading into the waters of sexual pleasure for the first time, we think sex subscription boxes are an excellent (and cost-effective) way to sample a wide variety of products (and pleasurable sensations) to figure out which ones you like best.
Ahead, discover the best sex subscription boxes for all kinds of shoppers — and take the thrill of opening packages to pleasurable new heights.

Best Sex Subscription Box For Beginners
If you're new to sexual pleasure, the idea of a sex subscription box might feel scary or overwhelming, but with Organic Loven, it doesn't have to be. Their "Try Me" box is perfectly curated for someone dipping their toe into solo or coupled pleasure for the first time. The first thing to put us at ease was the box's listed options for vulva- and penis-owners in multiple combinations, making it immediately accessible to any gender or sexuality. Then, the contents of the box are equally as beginner-friendly, including travel-sized samples of organic massage oils, all-natural lubricants, vegan condoms, and sex toys. We really love the thought that went behind the curation of this box to specifically make sure each user is super comfortable with what they're trying. Best of all? If you enjoy a lube, oil, etc., they're all available in their full-size versions on the Organic Loven site. 10/10 recommend.

The Steam Box, $55
Getting into the mood doesn't have to just mean pulling out your lubes and suction vibrators, you know. Sometimes it's digging into a deliciously sexy romance novel.

Let your imagination run wild with the Steam Box from Steamy Lit, which is chock full of clit-throbbing novels ready to get you wet and primed for whatever sexual exploits await. Even better?

Best Sex Subscription Box For Sexual Wellness
Sexual wellness is an industry trend that has, ahem, come and isn't going anywhere soon. It seems like something we can all agree on is that pleasure is an integral part of taking care of our bodies, and this Heart + Honey sex subscription box is perfect for doing just that. Accompanying the box's signature sex toy each month are two to four sexual wellness products, like lubes, oils, and even soaps. Each month focuses on one libido-boosting wellness theme (previous months include fertility, squirting, feng shui for sex, and much more). We particularly enjoy this box for discovering more sexual wellness brands in the industry and learning how to better take care of your body via pleasure.
