The vibe pattern between the shaft and the rabbit “ears” is just immense,” wrote one reviewer on the Lelo site. To experience a more realistic, tongue-mimicking experience, users highly recommend using it with a decent amount of lube or other body-safe gel. “For 20 years of my life I have never been able to achieve full orgasm … this toy has gotten me there every single time I use it,” a pleased customer wrote. Promising a “100 per cent orgasm rate”, our sex writer, Ebony Leigh, put the claim to the test and gave it her tick of approval in her full review.
“Some like to tap [external vibrators] back and forth on the glans, clitoral shaft, and labia,” Juliana Hauser viberator, PhD, a Lexington, Kentucky-based marriage and family therapist, previously told Allure. You always want to buy a toy made with body-safe materials like stainless steel, silicone, and borosilicate glass. Silicone toys are the most popular but always remember to pair them with water-based lube to avoid breaking down the material. Few things are more disappointing than receiving a new sex toy only to discover that it doesn’t work for you. One way to reduce the odds of this happening is to buy a vibe that has at least 5 different intensity settings, so that (hopefully) even if some of them don’t work for you, others will. Some vibrators also have patterns, such as pulsing or wave-like vibrations, which can make the toy even more versatile.
“Silicone or glass dildos are the best quality,” says Khalili, and this set doubles down on the latter option. One is pink and one is clear; the pink dildo is curved, with nodules along the shaft and bulbed tips at either end. If you and your partner are interested in exploring BDSM but are not into the black-leather vibe, this kit, with pre-tied knots made of natural fiber, is a good place to start.
The Satisfyer Pro 2 is waterproof and easy to clean, though it is a bit loud before it creates a suction, so you may want to use this toy under some covers. The Satisfyer Pro 2 uses a pulsing sensation that provides the feel of sucking against your clitoris. In fact, it has a little notch that slips over your clitoris and creates a bit of suction, giving you a true-to-life mouth feeling. To help narrow down the best of what’s available, I tested a variety of vibrators all with their own specific use case. There were couple’s vibrators and bullet models, as well as finger-worn vibes and suction models. I’ve also included some insight into the testing methodology I used at the end of this guide.
But the vibrator bends exactly the way you want it, so you can hit just the right spots. This Je Joue option (as its name indicates) is the love-child of the classic rabbit and fun-sized bullet vibrator, with ears that flutter against or hug the clit for orgasmic ripples. Just shy of four inches long, it’s ideal for when you want all the clitoral stimulation of a rabbit vibe in a pocket-friendly size. “Don’t be fooled by how cute this toy is—the low rumble of Je Joue’s motor packs some serious power for an intense climax,” Babeland brand manager Lisa Finn previously told SELF. Just note that, unlike other rabbit vibrators, this one doesn’t target the G-spot. A favorite of sex-toy blogger Epiphora, the bejeweled pastel Pillow Talk Sassy is affordably priced and offers powerful vibrations that can work for either clitoral or G-spot stimulation.
If you’re well-versed in sex toys, you know that a wand vibrator is a must-have for your pleasure tool kit—and if you’re newer to the sex-essories scene, these microphone-shaped devices are a superb place to start. In 2024, there’s no shortage of sex toys to choose from, but the pleasure brought on by the best wand vibrators is second to none. You probably already know and love the Magic Wand vibrator marketed as a “personal massager” (yeah, right) way back in 1968. It’s since become the little black dress, if you will, of sex toy stashes, but there’s more to the genre than ‘ol faithful. The web is bursting with all sorts of fresh takes on the vibrating wand for your playing pleasure, like toys with up to 20 pulsation modes, two-sided designs, and app-controlled, titillating tech.
Whether you’re in a long-distance relationship , a camgirl, or just a fan of public play, it can be hard to come up with new ways to keep things hot at a distance.
Plus, the soft silicone coating and ergonomic design meant it was comfortable to wield, with no hand cramp reported. The sloped tip scored extra points with our panel for its ability to stimulate the G-spot, while the bunny ears are perfectly positioned to target the clitoris. The super-soft silicone also feels great against the skin, making it a pleasure to use and to hold.
