Quick Note
Many of these also fall into the category of “how to save money on sex toys”. However, these tips look at things from a different angle to get the zero-cost aspect that people crave.
Scour the Web for Giveaways or Lucky Draws
These events might not be plentiful, but they DO happen. So keep an eye out on your favorite companies or retailers that sell different brands (like Lovehoney). And, yes, your chances are very slim because so many other people will enter as well, but a small chance is better than no chance. You might be in the right spot at the right time. These giveaways often happen during holidays, company anniversaries, the release of a new sex toy, or special brand events.
Get a Membership or Loyalty Card
Not all sex toy companies have this option, but if you’re someone who regularly buys adult products it’s worth signing up for. Little things like lubricant candles or the odd, cheap lingerie set will eventually build up to points towards the sex toy of your dreams not having to cost a penny. Also, this strategy works better through sellers that offer multiple brands – eg. Pink Cherry, Adam & Even, etc.
HOT TIP: BBoutique has monthly toy giveaways. Just register for a chance to win free vibrators each month.
Look for Free “Gift Add-Ons”
Forget things like powerful vibrators or sophisticated male masturbators. Instead, aim for little things like one-use cock rings with those little vibrators on top, novelty masturbation sleeves, nipple tassels, etc. Search through sex toy companies and see if there are any deals where you spend a certain amount of money and you get a freebie as a thank you.
Birthdays, Anniversaries & Special Occasions
Most people don’t think of one very simple way to get their dream toy without opening their wallet – just ask for one. Wait for special occasions to ask friends or partners (even open-minded family) to give you something from your list of things that vibrate, thrust, and rotate. Yes, it’s that easy!

Ask for Manufacturer Samples
Reaching out to sex toy manufacturers directly can sometimes result in receiving free samples or trial products.
When contacting manufacturers, make sure you introduce yourself professionally and express genuine interest in their products. Provide details about your audience or platform if you’re a blogger or influencer, as this can increase your chances of receiving samples. Be polite and patient, as response times may vary depending on the company’s policies and workload. Also, this tends to work better for smaller/cheaper items.
Become a Sex Toy Tester
We covered this topic in great detail in another article: Tips and truths about what it’s like to become a sex toy tester.
The truth is, it takes a lot of time, dedication, and integrity to make this an option that will give you free, high-quality sex toys. Companies are always on the lookout for people to test their first-generation prototypes, even second-generation beta tests.
The con is that you might get a sex toy that doesn’t have all the bugs worked out yet. But it’s still free!
And the best piece of advice? Give LOTS of detail in your response. Fill the hell out of whatever form the company gives you. Anything and everything you notice about your experiences with samples will help the company perfect its design. This, in turn, will help you massively – because it makes you a valuable tester and you could be called upon again to test another new toy.
Become an Affiliate or Influencer
This option is only for the most dedicated sex toy connoisseurs. It involves having your own blog and maintaining it in a professional manner – by putting out regular content that can be trusted as well as being entertaining. Putting affiliate links will give you a percentage of the sales made through your site.
Delve into other social media platforms that won’t get you in trouble over X-rated products. Because the more followers you have the higher the chance of a company reaching out to YOU to showcase an adult product. In other words, if enough people view your content, companies will want to give you free sex toys.

Blogger Reviews and Giveaways

Be Vigilant During Holidays
Holidays are the bread and butter of your free sex toy scavenger hunt. Even if they aren’t zero-cost, sometimes you can get them so cheap the price tag won’t matter at all. The big ones are Black Friday, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day. But don’t ignore the other ones like Pride Month, even St Patrick’s Day might have something interesting going on.
Join Mailing Lists
You know that feeling when you reluctantly sign up for yet another mailing list, expecting nothing but a flood of promotional emails cluttering your inbox? Yeah, it’s a pain. But hey, if scoring free sex toys is your endgame, it might just be worth the hassle. So, buckle up and prepare for the ride because buried within those seemingly endless streams of emails might lie hidden gems waiting to be discovered.
“My grandmother always said, ‘If it’s free, it’s for me.’ Turns out, she wasn’t just talking about samples at the grocery store. Free sex toys? Now that’s a bargain worth buzzing about!”
Sure, sifting through promotional emails might feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, but the payoff can be sweet. And while it may take a bit of patience and persistence, staying subscribed to those mailing lists could eventually lead you to your next favorite toy without costing you a dime. So, hang in there, brave inbox warrior!
Look for “Surprise Packages”
Bigger outlets might have too much stock, and selling single items isn’t working. So, they put together a surprise sex toy package. More often than not these packages are very affordable – you could consider some of these products free if you weigh the price versus the value. Another version is a sex toy mystery box. However, it’s strongly suggested that you read reviews to make sure that customers are getting safe sex toys (like silicone and not jelly) as well as avoiding scams.
Keep an Eye Out For Bundle Deals
Bundle deals are a very common thing in the sex toy industry. Companies will pair certain toys together for whatever promotion or holiday angle they’re targeting. Once in a while, the cost of the bundle will cover one toy and the other will be pretty much free. You look through bundle deals at Lovense to get an idea of what to expect.
College or University Events
College and university events hosted by LGBTQ+ groups, sexual health organizations, or student unions often feature educational workshops, guest speakers, and resource fairs focused on sexual health and wellness. These events may also include free giveaways or product samples from sex toy companies as part of their outreach efforts.
To find these events, check your school’s event calendar, social media pages, or bulletin boards for announcements. Attend workshops or seminars related to sexual health or sexuality to network with organizers and learn about upcoming events. Be respectful of event guidelines and policies regarding participation and eligibility for freebies.
Free Sex Toy Events
Here are some examples of one-time events (some closed, some ongoing, but all informative).
- Hot Octopus did a 2006 giveaway because we were giving so much up during COVID lockdown, they didn’t want sex or masturbation to be another thing everyone had to give up.
- Lovehoney also has hosted an interesting solution for unwanted Christmas gifts. It’s called the “Sex not Socks” gift swap. The first 1,000 people can swap a Christmas gift for a free sex toy. This takes place at Observation Point on London South Bank. The company gives away sex toys that can be a value of up to 59.9 to anyone over 18 years.
- In the Wallonia village of Wépion, near Namur, Belgians have taken Easter in an entirely different direction. Over the past 7 years, instead of hunting for eggs, organizers bury thousands of small boxes across an open field. A mass giggling women rush out onto the field and frantically dig until they find one. Inside, is either a number corresponding to the sex toy they won or a coupon that allows them to redeem a free sex toy – but it’s been tweaked over the years. It all goes towards promoting sex positivity and openness around sex toys.
Cam Model Benefits
Cam performers have unique channels to get free sex toys. Most platforms let viewers send gifts directly to models, often from wishlists curated by the performers. Through these streaming sites, cam models can receive toys from generous viewers to expand their shows or express gratitude. Also, certain manufacturers extend sponsorship or partnership opportunities to popular cam performers, giving them free products in exchange for exposure during broadcasts.
On a side note, Lovense toys have a tipping function for cam models to use during their shows. The software is supported by most major adult streaming sites. It’s more about earning income than getting no-cost toys. But it’s still something worth considering (if you’re in this business).
Free Sex Toys – Final Thoughts
So there you have it, there are far more ways to get adult toys for nothing (or nearly nothing) than most realize. All it takes is some patience, a lot of website stalking, or (if you’re very enthusiastic about adult products) taking the time to build the platform and a significant amount of followers to have companies reach out to you.
