Smile Makers The Tennis Pro G-Spot Vibrator

And, lest you think that these vibrators are lack-luster compared to the kind you’d buy in a sex toy store, keep in mind that you’ll often find the Hitachi Magic Wand amongst the selections. Yep, that’s right, the so-called “Cadillac of Vibrators” can be found in the same aisles as neck pillows and Epsom salts. Of course, part of the reason it’s compared to a Cadillac is its size , so if discreetness is a major concern for you, you might want to skip the Hitachi in favor of its smaller counterparts. The Magic Wand is durable and reliable, with multiple settings that’ll achieve the sought-after orgasm it’s known for.

The Dame Fin has three different vibration speeds, with the highest speed being super powerful. I was actually shocked by how rumbly it was — it stimulated just as well as some of my larger vibes. And it’s slim enough that you can slip it between you and your partner during sex. This G-spot stimulator is similar to the tapping vibrator above that tapes on the G-spot once inserted, only instead of a bunny shape it features a beautiful butterfly on a mission to deliver pure pleasure to the clitoris. It has four flapping and nine vibrating modes that work in tandem and a beautiful rose-shaped base. Made famous by Sex and The City over 25 years ago, The Rabbit vibrator is known for its ability to stimulate the clitoris with impeccable precision.

Made to fit perfectly in your hand, this the Empress Tidal is ideal for solo or partnered fun, with the added bonus of being 100 per cent waterproof. Working out which vibrators are best is fun, of course, but it also involves rigorous testing. It’s not just about whether or not a vibe will get you off, too — stimulate yourself enough and you’re all but guaranteed to get some kind of orgasm out of the deal. There are certain boxes a vibrator needs to check and while I looked into those myself, I also reached out to sexologists and sex educators for input. “Vibrators are often the primary option for anyone who’s not in a sexual relationship, though they can be used in coupled sex, too,” she said. “Many women find it more difficult to achieve orgasm over time, and a vibrator can be helpful in providing the necessary stimulation.”

Our favorite is this one from Le Wand, which sports a head made from silky soft silicone and a handy travel lock. This powerful pick also has 10 vibration speeds and 20 patterns, which you can cycle through easily using three buttons. “Do you want a toy that really targets just the head of the clitoris—or the whole vulva?

A lot of toys have multiple settings, and that often allows you to turn up and down the intensity, speed, and/or pattern of vibrations. While it might be tempting to crank your toy all the way up (and you should totally do that when you’re ready to, even if that is, in fact, right away), you can also experiment with bumping up the intensity gradually. Though most people refer to the bean-shaped area at the upper crest of the vulva as the clitoris, New York City-based board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist Monica Grover, MD, says it’s just the beginning of this sensitive zone. “The external clitoris is located above the urethra and where the bilateral inner labia meet,” says Dr. Grover. This toy has a whopping 10 contraction rings inside it, for some serious stroking. The Onyx+ can be used for long-distance play, like the Lovense Max 2 above, by syncing up with another Kiiro sex toy (like the brand’s Pearl 2 vibrator) and replicating how your partner’s using it.

I totally get that $200 is a lot for a sex toy you might not like until you try it. Its Pro 2 model offers a similar clitoral stimulation to the Womanizer, but for much less. You don’t get all of the same features as you would with the Womanizer Premium (like the autopilot or Smart Silence features), but at that price, I wouldn’t expect them.

It’s a cheaper alternative to classic rabbit vibrators, and it’s especially good for people who want more powerful penetrative stimulation. We’ve compiled a list of the best sex toys, vibrators, smart vibrators, personal wand massagers, and accessories, all of which we’ve personally tested. There’s something here for everyone, every gender, every sexuality, and every body. The language on these products isn’t always gender-inclusive vibrators, but we approached testing with a gender-inclusive mindset, testing these with different genitals, bodies, and partners.

They called them “paroxysms” because everyone knew that women were incapable of sexual feelings, so they could not possibly experience orgasm. Before taking a new sex toy to bed, I spend some time learning how to turn it on and off, as well as how to use the various functions—so I did the same with the Vibrato. As a person who is admittedly bad with technology even when I’m not seconds away from orgasm, I generally look for gadgets with intuitive button designs. To me, that means just one single switch or a clearly labeled control panel. For people with vulvas, there’s a whole host of ways to have a really good orgasm.

“The angled tip can be tilted for pinpointed pleasure, or you can roll the vibrator across erogenous zones like your nipples, perineum, or vulva for a more smooth and diffused sensation,” she says. There’s a huge range of insertable vibrators and sex toys that target this zone, including dual-stimulation ones (like rabbit vibrators), curved toys, and models with bulbous heads that pulse or thrust. A popular option for power-hunters, this 13-inch wand has four intensity settings and four vibration patterns. It also has a flexible neck that lets you apply pressure at different angles for a more targeted sensation. It has a cord, so you never have to worry about it crapping out on you mid-session.
