There’s a quiet revolution happening behind the impeccably curated bookshelves and well-tended gardens of women over 60. It’s a shift rooted in confidence, curiosity and pleasure. Because while life after 60 comes with its own transformations, it also brings a renewed sense of self, clarity about what matters, freedom from expectations and, for many, a reawakening of desire.
And with that desire comes an expanding world of sexual-wellness products designed not just to titillate, but to support comfort, health and joy. Here are 10 types of products that deserve a place on every woman’s radar, and why they can be genuinely life-enhancing.
1. External Vibrators: Because pleasure shouldn’t be complicated
For many women post-menopause, direct, external stimulation is the most reliable path to orgasm. Modern external vibrators are small, beautifully designed and surprisingly powerful. Think of them as an elegant shortcut to pleasure, no acrobatics required, just focused sensation exactly where you want it. Try the Lovehoney Rose Clitoral Suction Stimulator ($89.95), or the Lovehoney Power Petal 2-in-1 Clitoral Suction Stimulator with Egg Vibrator ($99.95) they’re gorgeous, girlie, and really are a “go to” favourite.
2. Air-Pulse Stimulators: The sensation you didn’t know you needed
Air-pulse technology has become the quiet superstar of sexual wellbeing. Instead of vibration, it uses gentle pulses of air around the clitoris, creating a fluttering sensation that will blow your mind. It’s ideal if sensitivity has shifted, or if you prefer deep, wave-like pleasure over surface buzz. Try the Womaniser X Lovehoney Pro 40, it literally flies off the shelf at $169.95.
3. Vibrators: For the arthritic hands
Many women over 60 suffer with arthritic hands, so finding a vibrator you can freely grip can be challenging. The last thing you want is to lose your grip on your vibrator just when you are about to climax. One of the best arthritis friendly wand vibrators on the market is the Lelo Smart Wand 2 Medium ($289.95). The slightly curved handle makes it easier to hold and its lighter weight.
4. Dual-Stimulation Toys: For when you want it all
If you love both clitoral and internal pleasure, dual-stimulation toys provide a symphony of sensation. The newest designs are softer, more flexible and quieter than ever, making them friendly for bodies that prefer gentle contact. Try the Lovehoney Indulge G-Spot and Clitoral Suction Stimulator $89.95. You can also never go wrong with a Rabbit rechargeable Vibrator (Fifty Shades Grey Greedy Girl G-Spot Rabbit Vibrator $139.95)
5. Finger Vibrators: Small, intuitive, empowering
Perfect for women who prefer a hands-on approach, finger vibrators add a touch of effortless enhancement to manual play, especially helpful if grip strength isn’t what it once was. They’re discreet, intuitive and ideal for either solo exploration or partnered intimacy. Basic finger stimulators start around $12 or $40 upwards for motorised. Great starting point for the novice.
6. Rechargeable Wands: The trusted classic, revived
If you’ve ever used (or long admired) the iconic wand vibrator, you’ll know they deliver broad, rumbling vibrations that feel instantly satisfying. Today’s versions are cordless, quieter and more body-kind. Try the Magic Wand Rechargeable Extra Powerful Cordless Vibrator $149.95 from Lovehoney.
7. Lubricants: The unsung Hero of midlife pleasure
Hormonal changes can mean vaginal dryness, but a great lubricant transforms everything. Silkier textures, longer glide and formulas designed for sensitive skin make modern lubes essential, not optional. They turn good sensations into great ones, and discomfort into delight. My gynaecologist recommends good quality coconut oil – smells great too.
8. Dilator Sets: Comfort, confidence, ease
If sex has become uncomfortable due to menopause, surgery or simply time, dilator sets can help gently stretch and relax the vaginal muscles. They’re not about pleasure in the moment; they’re about long-term comfort, confidence and reclaiming intimacy on your terms. The Pelvic Pain Foundation of Australia sell an Intimate Rose Dilator Set ($132 – $297) designed by a Doctor of Physical Therapy to help address varies forms of pelvic pain. A great step in getting you back onto the pleasure path.
9. Kegel or Pelvic Floor Trainers: Pleasure starts with strength
Pelvic floor strength is a foundation of sexual wellbeing. Today’s trainers range from simple silicone weights to app-guided devices, helping improve tone, boost arousal and increase orgasm intensity, all in a few minutes a day. Try the highly rated plusOne Kegel Trainer $149.99 (myplusone.com.au).
10. Massage Candles: Because foreplay is an Art Form
Slow, sensual bodywork is wildly underrated. Massage candles melt into warm oils that hydrate the skin and enhance intimacy, especially lovely if you’re exploring pleasure with a partner and want to reconnect both emotionally and physically. Try Master Series Glow in the Dark Candles, set of four $45.95 (wildsecrets.com.au).
And the truth be told – sexual wellbeing doesn’t fade with age, it evolves. With the right tools, a little curiosity and a generous dose of self-compassion, women over 60 can experience some of the most fulfilling sensual years of their lives.
So put away your inhibitions ladies and Bring it On.
