Penile Vibratory Stimulation and Electroejaculation

Its slim profile is ideal for pinpoint stimulation of the clitoris or nipples, and its metal construction means you can play with heating it up or cooling it down for some sexy temperature play, too. It’s rare to find a bullet vibe that’s made to be used internally, but this one is, which makes it a standout in my collection. It’s got a small curve to hit the G-spot when inserted vaginally, but that same curve also makes it useful for applying targeted pressure to different parts of the clitoris. The motor is thrillingly rumbly, too, meaning it’s less likely to cause the numb or itchy feeling that some buzzier (i.e. higher-pitched) vibrations can cause. Doctors or midwives applied vegetable oil to women’s genitals and then massaged them with one or two fingers inside and the heel of the hand pressing against the clitoris. With this type of massage, women had orgasms and experienced sudden, dramatic relief from hysteria.

High-end sex toy company Lelo is known for its toys’ elegant aesthetic and luxe feel, and this cock ring is no exception. Simple to operate, easy to wear—it’s no surprise that the best vibrating cock rings tend to make for some of the best couples’ sex toys. The trick, then is finding just the right model in a sea of shimmying viberators, shaking cock rings that can all look similar—while hiding plenty of fun surprises.

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.

The stroker-style ones may require an erection for you to penetrate them—but aside from that, a lot of vibes feel great regardless of how your boner may ebb and flow. While this is commonly seen as a toy for vulvas , it can be—and is—enjoyed by many people of all genders and anatomies. Its vibrations are so satisfyingly deep that they feel good on pretty much any erogenous zone, from clits to dicks to taints to nipples. It’d make a great gift for a partner, too, since you’ll both be able to enjoy it, both separately and together. And unlike any other toy on this list, if the Magic Wand Rechargeable dies on you mid-session, you can just plug it in and keep on going, because it’s wired to be useable while charging. They all have a mouth, and inside that mouth is a (typically) silicone membrane that an internal motor moves in and out.

The Vibration Body Massager app turns your phone into a customizable personal massager, offering a variety of vibration patterns to help you relax and unwind. Strong Vibrator – Massager gives you an opportunity to customize your massage experience by choosing from various vibration patterns and intensities. Personally, I find it regrettable that a greater number of consumer scholars do not tackle such “sexy” subject matters.

As SELF previously reported, sex toys can pass along STIs, so safer sex practices apply here. If you’re using a sex toy with someone outside of a sexually monogamous partnership, put a condom over your toy. Condoms are also key if you want to use a toy for both vaginal and anal stimulation (which you can do as long as the toy is safe for anal, a.k.a. it has a flared base). With that being said, each clit is as unique as a snowflake and should be treated as such, according to Lexington, Kentucky-based marriage and family therapist Juliana Hauser, PhD. “Discover if your glans (clitoral tip) likes light vibration or a stronger speed,” she says.

Generally, you can count on high-quality vibrators to land somewhere between $50 to $150. Make sure that regardless of price point, the vibe you’re buying is made of body-safe materials like platinum-grade silicone. No matter what, the general consensus among experts is that your toy should be phthalate-free, Howard says. Phthalates are a group of chemical plasticizers typically used to make plastics softer, so you usually spot them in jelly-like toys.
