Vibrator

This one is for all the makeup girlies (and of course vibrator, anyone with a vulva). Angie Rowntree, the founder and director of ethical porn sit Sssh, recommends this super cute bullet vibrator that is compact, easy to hide away and looks just like an everyday object you’d have with you on the go. “When it comes to discretion, you really can’t beat a toy that fits inconspicuously into your makeup bag!” Rowntree says. Finger vibrators of the past used to be dinky and weak, which is why the Dame Fin is so revolutionary.

Also neat is that half of the underbelly is ridged, for some added texture. He also independently reviews new products in the wellness space for Good Housekeeping, which he has done previously for Martha Stewart Living and Cooking Light. These testers evaluated aspects like connectivity, ease of use, adaptability and flexibility for personal use in the bedroom, and upkeep and cleaning aspects after intimacy. Reviews were coordinated over the span of a minimum of two weeks, if not longer.

And with the Lovense app, you can control each part of the vibrator independently , meaning you can customize your experience to perfection. The Lovense Lush 3 is one of the few remote controlled vibrators that can also be used as a long distance sex toy, using a combination of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to give your partner control from afar. Good oral sex is often the fastest and most reliable way to reach the big O. Other times, a little oral exploration gets you primed for the main event. But there are times when you may want to get some wet and wild action when you’re flying solo.

The clitoris gets lots of attention—and for good reason—but there’s another area worthy of some serious stimulation. We’re talking about the G-spot, of course, which is most easily aroused via G-spot vibrators designed specifically to target this erogenous zone. We test a lot of sex toys and accessories here at WIRED, and there isn’t enough room in one list for all of our favorite picks. There’s barely enough room on this list for all the toys we’d consider phenomenal, let alone the ones we consider the absolute best.

We’ve scoured our favorite online sex toy shops for vibrators, dildos, penis rings, and other toys that are intuitive to use and more importantly, a lot of fun. Buying a vibrator or other sex toy for the first time can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, we’d argue that it’s an act of self-care to do some research and consider what types of toys you might like to try.

What is a suction vibrator (or, as most of us will call them clitoral stimulator or suction toys) and how does it work? Well, suction toys use the power of air (or sonic waves, in one case) to create a highly stimulating sensation on and around the clitoris. As you may or may not know, the clitoris is a bigger-on-the-inside marvel of biological machinery that people with vulvas have.

They give us feedback on ease of us, range of settings, design and, crucially, performance. Our panel found it comfy to hold and easy to use thanks to the curved design, and they enjoyed experimenting with the different vibration speeds and intensity levels. The tip is shaped like a flower, which can be used both internally for G-spot stimulation or externally on the clitoris. Testers felt “very satisfied” after using the toy and said the curved design and soft gel tip enhanced their pleasure. It’s quite noisy on the higher speed settings, and testers found the buttons a little confusing to begin with, but they soon felt confident using it. Plus, it charges quickly, comes with a travel case and is fully waterproof.

Searching for specific product reviews or experiences shared by users online can help you make an informed decision based on others’ experiences. Like the Hitachi, Le Wand has a “wave” button to cycle through the patterns, but it has a plus and minus button to change the speed (also, the plus button serves as “on” while minus serves as “off”). Similar to the other toys, Le Wand has both vibration and pulsing available, just with more variety in terms of the quickness and intensity of the pulses — these patterns are all laid out in Le Wand’s user guide.

It’s a good option for travel, too, since it’s smaller than a standard wand and it has a travel lock function. If you ever wish you could give up control of your sex toy to a long-distance partner—or even to a random person you meet online; we don’t judge! —you should consider a Bluetooth-compatible option like this stroker. While the F1S (above) might be the winner in terms of vibration strength and sheer luxury, its “teledildonic” capabilities aren’t quite as streamlined as those offered by Lovense, a brand that specializes in this type of toy.
