Sometimes all you need to spice up the bedroom is a little heat… literally. Temperature play isn’t a new trend—people have been sticking ice cubes and lighting matches during sex for a long time (trust us)—but sex toys with the ability to conduct and even change their own temp? That might surprise a few people.
We’ve rounded up a few of our fave temperature play sex toys to get you shivering and sweating in the bedroom. From metal and glass-based dildos to high-tech toys, it’s time to open the door to a whole new world.
The best temperature play sex toys, whether you’re a beginner or expert
1) Best high-tech temperature play toy: The Hot & Cold
The Deia Hot & Cold massager is a temperature-changing, vibrating massager for both external and internal stimulation. Deia’s wonder lets you tailor the experience to you or your partner by mixing and matching hot and cold temperatures with variable vibration settings. It’s the hottest (and coldest) toy around.
This one was truly a first for me to experience. I loved experimenting with the hot and cold temperatures. The cold was especially potent around the breast area, while I found alternating between hot and cold felt the best around the clit.
Handing it off to my partner was also fun—feeling the sudden shift in temp as they trail the device to each erogenous zone really was the cherry on top.

5) Best glass toy: Glass Spiral Dildo
Leave it in the fridge or pop it in some hot water to change its temperature. It’s probably not one for anal firsts, so if you’re looking to try things through the backdoor, maybe start off with a more simple one. The raised spiral ridges increase simulation while the bulbous head activates the G-spot.
You’ll be happy to hear that this one’s fracture-resistant, so you won’t have to worry about any freak accidents happening during playtime. As well, it’s hypoallergenic and can be used with any kind of lube.
Price: $26.99

Unlock your inner fetish freak with these Fifty Shades of Grey-inspired kegel balls. You’ll be secretly stimulating your G-spot all the while strengthening your pelvic floor thanks to the heavy weight of the balls. Slip these in the fridge before you insert them for a shocking surprise.
Price: $29.99
7) Best hypoallergenic temperature-responsive anal toy: Glas Honey Dripper Anal Slider
Anal enthusiasts who don’t want to worry about batteries will love this new addition to their toy stash. It’s sleek and durable, with a flared, bulbous base at each end. The Glas Honey Dripper comes with two heads. One has a curved piece with an oval head (perfect for massaging the prostate or G-spot). The second is a round head. Each is connected by strong, honey-colored glass.
This dildo is fracture-resistant, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean. We recommend tossing it in the fridge or sinking it in some hot water to kick-start your temp play journey.
Pro tip: If you’re looking to up the foreplay, take the heated or cooled dildo and couple it with some massage oil. Trace up and down your partner’s back, or play with yourself until you (or they) just can’t take it anymore.
Price: $35.29
