Used Sex Toys: The Safe, Smart & Sexy Way to Save Big | LoveDose UK
Why “Used Sex Toys” Are the Internet’s Hottest Secret
Good sex toys, let’s be real, aren’t cheap. A luxury vibrator or high-end silicone dildo can easily cost you triple digits. It’s why the market for second-hand sex toys is booming across the UK. It seems like the days are numbered for people who stick to their wallets and help the planet get a little too sticky by purchasing pre-loved adult toys that are sterilized and body-safe.
Here at LoveDose UK we’re all about the responsible pleasure. So let’s unpack what it is about the used sex toy trend that is so worth watching — and how to do things safely.
1. What Exactly Are “Used Sex Toys”?
“Used” doesn’t always mean used and dirty. In fact, most pre-owned sex toys on verified marketplaces like ED Emporium or Scented Pansy are either:
- Unwanted gifts that were never used.
- Lightly tested toys sanitized to medical-grade standards.
- Open-box or demo toys refurbished for resales.
In short — refurbished sex toys or second-hand adult toys are often just as good as news, for a fraction of the cost.
2. Why Buy Used Sex Toys?
a. How to get the best value for your money
Not all sex toys are affordable budget options: Luxe toys from brands like LELO, Lovense, or We-Vibe come with a hefty price tag. Purchase Pre-owned dildos or used butt plugs are 65% to 90% off retail.

b. Better for the Environment
Most toys aren’t recyclable. Purchasing your sex toys used keeps silicone, rubber and plastic out of landfills. That’s real eco-friendly pleasure.
c. Search for Rare or Hard to Find Toys
Big fan of the untouched 1970s original Magic Wand? Or that limited-edition Lovense app-controlled vibrator? You may only be able to get them through secondhand sex toy markets.
3. What Are the Safest Types of Used Sex Toys?
The material matters, when it comes to used sex toys. Always use non-porous body-safe materials:
Medical-grade silicones
Stainless steel
Borosilicate glass
ABS plastic
Stay away from porous materials like rubber, vinyl or jelly. They trap bacteria and cannot be thoroughly sterilized.

4.How to Safely Clean and Disinfect Used Sex Toys
Safety comes first. But before you try any second-hand sex toy, ensure:
You will give it to baby as “used” so simply wash with mild soap and hot tap water.
Clean it with 70% isopropyl alcohol or toy cleaner.
Sterilize with boiling water (no motor) or a UV sterilizer.
For the sellers, a free sachet of toy cleaner or lube — those sorts of small things build trust and repeat sales.
