Sorry "Mean Girls [1]," but Coach Carr had it all wrong: sex isn't the problem, it's the solution. There are few things in life that boost your endorphins, dopamine, and oxytocin levels faster (and more enjoyably) than an orgasm. And because our brains don't release that kind of happy-chemical surge for just anything, it's worth exploring all the feel-good ways to help you get there.
It's not always easy. As someone who has reported on sex for more than six years, I know that finding the right pleasure products feels a lot like landing a Beyoncé tour presale code: rare, but also life-altering. That's exactly what we wanted to capture when selecting our winners for Popsugar's very first 2025 Feel-Good Awards [2]. This year, our team tested 2,138 products spanning our five core categories of sex, beauty [3], health [4], fitness [5], and home [6] to find the items that met our rigorous mood-boosting criteria.
As Popsugar's resident sex expert, that meant I, along with other enthusiastic staffers, had the pleasure (pun intended) of testing dozens of submissions to select this year's sex winners. From a vibrator that spared us from texting our exes out of boredom to lube that practically lived on our nightstands, ahead we give you the five sex products that had us begging for MORE, MORE, MORE!

Best Feel-Good Vibrator
Lelo Sona Cruise 3 [7] ($159)
Allow us to introduce you to the vibrator that will ruin all other vibrators for you: Lelo's Sona Cruise 3. Thanks to its sensonic technology, this toy feels just like cunnilingus — but unlike your partner's tongue game, the Sona Cruise 3 doesn't get tired, never asks for anything in return, and can stay "right there" for as long as you want it to. With its 10 speed and intensity settings, and its ability to connect and be controlled via an app, prepare for an orgasm overload.
Best Feel-Good Lube
Lubelife Silky Premium Silicone Lubricant [8] ($15)
If this Lubelife lubricant was tested by Abby Lee Miller herself, it'd be on the top of the pyramid. Made from high-quality grade silicone and free of all the other shit you definitely don't want around your vagina (hello, glycerin and parabens), this lube is lightweight and smooth. It's so silky, in fact, that one editor noted the slip made sex feel painless even despite a small tear down there. Perfect for shower sex — or any sort of water sex, for that matter — there's no need to reapply often regardless of the setting.
Best Feel-Good Sex Toy
Dame Hug Vibrating Cock Ring [9] ($75)
Dame's Hug Vibrating Cock Ring is exactly that: a vibrating hug that your clitoris won't want to let go of. With its soft, bendable silicone band and adjustable fit, it squeezes just right to keep things stable while sending buzzy vibrations to both the clit and perineum. One editor's partner noted it "felt like a bolt of energy lit up his dick the first time he put it on" (and frankly it sounds like a Zeus/Hera role-play may be in their future). With five intensity levels and five pattern modes, this cock ring was the perfect, lazy-girl way to receive internal and external stimulation at the same damn time.
Best Feel-Good Lingerie
Journelle Iris Low Balconette Bra [10] ($175)
You won't find Journelle's Balconette Bra in the back of our sock drawer. This lingerie piece is too pretty, too perfect, and too sexy to be hidden away until Valentine's Day and anniversaries. With lightly padded cups and a silky satin finish, this bra pushes up the boobs effortlessly (no pricey plastic surgery required). Offered in sizes 30C to 36D, this bra doesn't just support — it seduces.
Best Feel-Good Adult Game
Romantasy Sex Checks: 60 Certificates for Making Magic Between the Covers [11] ($13)
Whether you've always fantasized of being a shadow daddy or would like to be with one, now is your chance. These romantasy sex checks are the perfect way to keep the fantasy going long after finishing "A Court of Thorns." With 60 checks, we love cashing in on all the sexy romantasy tropes: the enemies-to-lovers was our favorite foreplay, but you may be more into the one-on-one lessons with your, ahem, master. It's fun, low stakes, and a great reason to invest in some fairy wings.
