Shopping for My First Sex Toy in India: A Beginner’s Honest Experience

As someone who had never ventured into the world of sex toys before, I never imagined I’d be writing about buying one. But here I am—because, quite honestly, the experience was eye-opening in all the best ways.

It all started with an unexpected suggestion from my partner, John. We were lying in bed after an amazing night together when he said, “I read great reviews about this Rabbit Vibrator. Maybe we should try it?” At first, I was stunned. Our sex life was passionate and fulfilling—why mess with something that wasn’t broken?

But then, curiosity crept in. I remembered seeing Sex and the City, where Carrie Bradshaw was obsessed with her Rabbit Vibrator. If it was good enough for Carrie, it couldn’t be that crazy, right?

Still, I wanted to do my due diligence before taking the plunge. As a financial analyst, I take the term “investment” seriously—even when it comes to sex toys. So I did what any self-respecting adult does in a moment of personal and sexual reckoning: I went online.

Can You Buy Sex Toys in India Legally?

I had my doubts. With all the talk about bans and moral policing, I was convinced vibrators were illegal in India. But surprisingly, I discovered otherwise.

Yes, sex toys can be sold legally in India—as long as the packaging doesn’t display explicit images. As strange as it sounded, this little loophole changed everything. I no longer felt like I was doing something forbidden. In fact, I felt empowered.

Finding the Right Toy and the Right Store

John and I decided that we would go ahead and get our first vibrator. That’s when a close friend recommended a site called GetSetWild. I’ll admit, I wasn’t expecting much. But the moment I opened the website, I was impressed. The interface was clean, classy, and refreshingly free of tackiness.

The only issue? I had no idea what to buy.

Should I go for a simple bullet vibrator? An external one? A rabbit style with dual stimulation? And what about the color—green, pink, or classic black? The options were endless, and the stakes felt oddly high.

Thankfully, GetSetWild had a live chat option. I connected with someone named Ann, who turned out to be one of the most helpful, nonjudgmental customer care executives I’ve ever spoken to. She guided me through the different categories, explained how the toys worked, and even sent me a blog review of one of their most recommended vibrators for beginners—The Amorino.

That sealed the deal. I placed my order.

Discreet, Thoughtful Delivery

Three days later, a plain brown box arrived at my door. No logos, no labels—just a discreet delivery like any other e-commerce order. Inside, neatly wrapped in pink paper, was my very first vibrator. Along with it came:

• A user manual

• A sachet of water-based lubricant (which I hadn’t even remembered to buy)

• A simple, tasteful postcard

It was thoughtful, elegant, and surprisingly emotional. This wasn’t just a purchase—it was a quiet moment of reclaiming my pleasure on my own terms.

First Impressions

As for the toy itself—wow. The Amorino was smooth, sleek, and intuitive to use. It didn’t feel overwhelming or intimidating, which made it perfect for someone like me just starting out. My partner was thrilled too, although he insists on taking all the credit for pushing me into this journey.

I’ll admit: I was hesitant at first. But looking back, I can’t imagine why I waited so long.

A Space That Feels Safe and Empowering

What stood out most was the respectful, no-shame attitude of GetSetWild. Their tone wasn’t sleazy. Their content didn’t objectify. They treated sexual wellness as something natural and personal, which made it easier for me to let go of the internal stigma I’d unknowingly carried.

I’m already browsing for my next toy—and this time, I’m not nervous at all.

Final Thoughts

Buying my first sex toy in India was more than a shopping experience—it was a quiet revolution in my personal life. It was about listening to my body, embracing curiosity, and discovering new layers of intimacy both with myself and my partner.

So if you’re considering your first sex toy, here’s my advice: Do your research, choose a platform that respects your privacy, and most importantly—don’t feel guilty. Your pleasure is valid, and you deserve to explore it without fear or shame.

Thanks to GetSetWild, I’ve gone from skeptical to empowered—and I couldn’t be happier about it.
