Calexotics: intimate pleasure designed for everyone

Founded in 1994 in California by Susan Colvin, Calexotics (California Exotic Novelties) was one of the first companies in the pleasure industry to be created and led by a woman. That distinction has shaped its whole identity: a range designed for women, men and couples, with constant attention to comfort, aesthetics and ease of use.

Over the years the brand has built one of the broadest catalogues on the market. You'll find everything from small accessories to get started to more sophisticated devices, gathered across several in-house collections. The common thread stays the same: making pleasure accessible, varied and free of intimidation, whatever your level of experience.

The sex toy is no longer a taboo object: today it's a genuine intimate wellness accessory. Calexotics fits squarely into this approach, with products that are easy to handle, to explore your own body or your partner's with complete peace of mind.

Why this brand appeals to beginners and enthusiasts alike

Calexotics' great strength lies in the breadth of its range. Where many brands focus on a single niche, Calexotics covers almost the entire spectrum of pleasure: clitoral stimulation, penetration, anal play, couples' games, male pleasure. It's an excellent starting point for a first purchase, and a brand you come back to as your desires become clearer.

The positioning is firmly accessible: good value for money, materials chosen for intimate contact (soft silicone, phthalate-free plastics on the relevant ranges) and an often colourful design that takes the intimidation out of the object. Originally created by and for women, the brand keeps that sensibility in the shape of its products as well as in its communication.

What's in the Calexotics collection?

The range is broad and well segmented. Here are the main families the brand develops:

Vibrators and clitoral stimulators

This is the brand's historic core: 'bullet' mini-vibrators, wave or suction clitoral stimulators, vibrating tongues, compact travel models that are often waterproof. From simple single-speed formats to rechargeable multi-mode devices, this category covers every budget and every level.

Dildos and realistic models

From classic dildos to heavily textured models, all the way to larger pieces for those who enjoy intense sensations, the brand offers a variety of materials. Many feature a suction-cup base or are harness-compatible, for solo or partnered use.

Anal play: plugs, beads and prostate stimulators

Plugs in different sizes, progressive anal beads, prostate stimulators with or without vibration: the anal range is designed to support progression, from slim beginner models to more advanced pieces. A flared base — essential for this type of play — is the rule.

Male pleasure

Masturbators, cock rings, sleeves and accessories: Calexotics also covers male pleasure, with products to stimulate, vary sensations or prolong pleasure, solo or as a couple.

Couples' games, strap-on and pegging

Adjustable harnesses, strap-on dildos, complete pegging kits, playful games (dice, cards): this family is aimed at couples who want to explore new roles and share control, with gear that's simple to set up.

Accessories and sensory play

Nipple clamps, nipple covers, lubricant applicators, stimulation accessories: small pieces that round out scenarios and let you vary your pleasure without a big investment.

Choosing and using your sex toy

Faced with such a broad range, a few simple guidelines help you choose and enjoy your accessory with peace of mind:

• Start simple. For a first purchase, a small vibrator or a beginner plug is often more reassuring than a complex device.
• Favour suitable materials. Body-safe silicone is soft, non-porous and easy to clean — a great choice for intimate contact.
• Use the right lubricant. A water-based lubricant is compatible with almost every material; avoid silicone lubricant on silicone toys.
• Take it gradually. For anal play in particular, start small, with plenty of lubricant and always a flared base.
• Clean before and after. Lukewarm water and mild soap or a dedicated cleaner, then dry carefully before storing.

Also check the stated water resistance (some models are designed for the shower or bath) and the charging method. A well-chosen, well-maintained accessory lasts a long time.
