Vibrator

Designed to be worn between your fingers, the Fin is an easy-to-grasp sex toy that can stay discreet during sex, Lisa Finn, sex educator with sex toy store Babeland, tells SELF. “You don’t have to worry about it slipping from your hands as you play, which is great for mobility and accessibility as well as keeping it from being obstructive or in the way vibrators,” they say. It’s also water-resistant, USB-rechargeable, and has three low-intensity settings that you can explore by pressing its only button.

They either need better placement or should be less sensitive to the touch. I highly doubt I’m going to be the only one riding high on specific vibrations or patterns, then get my orgasm kicked to the curb with one wrong move. I stand by the fact that it’s fantastic and serves up one heck of an orgasm (and in record time!), but Womanizer has been doing that for lots of people with vulvas for a long time now.

Next up, we’ve got a discreet and adorable vibrator at the recommendation of Marla Renee Stewart, a sexologist at Lovers. “No matter where your vibe ends up, it’ll look like a toy—so no need to have to explain to someone what it is,” Stewart explains. Meanwhile, its textured design and 10 vibration patterns deliver ‘I scream, you scream,’ waves of pleasure.

Insertable up to 17cm, the Silencer features a rounded tip and a silky-smooth shaft that’s ribbed for extra pleasure. It’s battery operated and completely waterproof, so go ahead and get your rub-a-dub-dub on in the tub. Designed to be felt but not heard, the Silencer is a whisper-quiet classic vibrator that comes from the “sexual happiness people” over at Lovehoney. If just three vibration options sounds too limiting, might we suggest the Minna Ola?

A combo of vibration and “tongue” licking (lube up for a realistic glide) targets your clit for maximum orgasming power, and you can also hold it against a male partner’s penis during a blowjob to really turn up the heat. You can also feel comfortable knowing your privacy is top of mind — it features Smart Silence Technology, meaning your toy only turns on when it touches your skin. In the sonic sphere, theConnaisseur MJ exhibits many classic spruce-and-mahogany characteristics.

With its slightly slimmer shaft, flexible clitoral stimulator, and intense vibration patterns, it’s ideal for use with a partner. Whether you’re taking turns controlling the settings or using it during foreplay, this toy knows how to play nice (but not too nice). Skyn Vibes caters to newcomers in the world of pleasure with its user-friendly design and approachable features.

The original rabbit hopped onto the scene in the mid-1990s, popularised by its appearance in the hit TV show Sex and the City, they’ve been top-sellers ever since. At $109, it’s oddly more expensive than the Vesper 2, but no one ever said luxury was cheap. It’s USB-C rechargeable (with a proprietary plug on one end), whisper-quiet, even on turbo mode, and comes in silver, rose gold, black, and 24-karat gold plating, with a matching adjustable 26-inch chain. At the time, the world had never seen anything like this vibrator necklace, and because of its originality, it garnered fans worldwide. Patented by Martin Engineering, Vibrolator® vibrators are the original ball vibrators and still provide a reliable and efficient solution to flow problems. “No matter what, for a number of toys, the best and easiest use involves at least a couple of drops of lubricant for comfort ,” says Fulbright.

Penetration rarely makes an appearance during my masturbation sessions, as I often experience dyspareunia (or pain during penetration). However, I was eventually able to give the dildo side of the toy a try when my long-distance partner was in town. After a thorough preplay session, my partner lubed up the Vibrato and slowly slid it inside me. While there’s tons of toys on the market — ones that cater to penetration, to high tech bells and whistles or ones that are just unique and a little surprising —  sometimes you want to find a toy that’s really good at one thing. Try a few of these out and you’ll level-up your cliteracy in no time. Svakom’s Vibrating Love Egg has a fun remote-control feature, so you can hand control to your partner, while those on the hunt for something a little different should consider Lovehoney’s knicker vibrator.

We get that it can be overwhelming to sift through the retailer’s thousands of products, so allow us to do the shopping for you. “This finger vibrator has a unique shape (similar to fingers) that is easy to hold and maneuver, and surrounds the clitoris with two prongs of vibrational power. Pulsing or continuous vibes help enhance the sensation and allow you or a partner to pinch, tease, and robustly massage the clitoris into bliss,” says Balestrieri.

When talking with your partner, you may find it helpful to explain that using a vibrator may help you achieve certain sensations that aren’t possible without it. Sex toy retailers that vet their products for safety and pleasure include Babeland, Good Vibes, Spectrum Boutique, Lovehoney, Lovers, and Organic Loven. All these shops carry products from the luxury sex toy manufacturers included on this list, like Dame, Lelo, Le Wand, Womanizer, and more.
