You might have assumed the corn-on-the-cob vibrator in *that* scene in Netflix's Sex Education was a prop. Well, we're here to tell you it's a very real sex toy and you can actually buy it.
Giving "groceries straight to your door" a whole new meaning, the corn vibrator is a body-safe silicone toy with seven settings, a tapered tip and lumps and bumps all over to hit all your sweet spots. It's actually a pretty great shape in that you can use it internally, or roll and rub it over your body externally.
The shaft is pretty girthy if you don't fancy using the vibrating function and just using it as a dildo and it's totally waterproof for bath and shower play. It's battery-operated so you'll have to switch out the batteries once it runs out of er, juice. However, batteries are included with this playful little gadget. The batteries also mean the motor is pretty quiet and not too rumbly.
Vegan Toys Corn On The Cob Vibrator
The corn vibe is actually on offer at the moment – 3-for-2 at Holland and Barrett. They really want you getting your five a day in! Choose from Banana, Chilli, Eggplant (our fave) and Carrot.
The resounding feedback from users is that Celia's (AKA Hannah Gadsby's) corn toy is "surprisingly powerful" and that the knobbly bobbly bits feel great.
But do not, and we repeat, do *not* pull a Celia and use chilli-infused olive oil as lube with this toy, no matter how delicious the combination of corn and chilli sounds. Use it with a water-based lube. Maybe something vegan and infused with plants that won't sting your bits. Hemp and aloe vera for example?

And make sure you clean it thoroughly with body-safe soap and warm water before you use it, and afterwards – those knobbly bits mean this toy will need a proper wipe down after use.
We're learning so much from the latest season of Sex Education – from Aimee's favourite sex toys and negotiating informed consent to how to support your trans friends and what healing after sexual assault can look like.
So there you have it. The corn-on-the-cob toy is real, it's on offer and it's actually the cutest thing we've ever seen. Go forth and unleash your inner corn star!
