10 Things Your Vibrator Can Help With That You Wouldn’t Expect

Whether you and your partner are looking for gadgets that stimulate vaginal, anal or oral pleasure, we have you covered with the options below. The We-Vibe Tango X Lipstick really is the Rolls-Royce of the bullet vibrator world and according to our panel, it’s worth the premium price tag. The discreet, lipstick-like appearance is handy for travel and it was whisper-quiet in use. With eight speeds and seven vibration patterns, panellists found they had complete control over their experience, and flicking between settings was a breeze thanks to the easy to access buttons on the base. Plain and simple, sex toys (especially ones that show love to your clitoris) can do things that penetrative sex alone can’t.

Our expert panel tested the best clitoral stimulation sex toys on the market. So the suction toy’s ability to surround the clit and give it a wealth of strong but not abrasive buzzing — which has its place, but sometimes can be too much for this sensitive spot — is part of why they are such a hit. And, on top of that, they can often be used to stimulate your nipples too, which is a pretty solid two-fer. I’m a firm believer that everyone’s sex toy collection should contain a variety of vibrators—especially a bullet vibrator, which is essentially what the Vesper Mini is.

Then consider the range of intensities and patterns the toy provides, Carol Queen, PhD, a sex educator with Good Vibes, tells SELF, so you can turn it up as you get more turned on—or lower it if you want to draw out your orgasm. Most of our panel said this egg-shaped vibrator helped them achieve a more intense orgasm and they all noted how quiet it was, so they didn’t have to worry about anyone hearing it if they were in the next room. Our testers found it provided a completely different experience compared to other vibrators on the market and said it was beautifully designed. Lexington, Kentucky-based marriage and family therapist Juliana Hauser, PhD, previously told Allure where you place your vibrator is critical. High-frequency vibration designed to run off of pneumatic air power.

It took testers a bit of trial and error to get it right, but the app provided a lot of information on how to use the sex toy, plus how to deploy the hands-free feature. One tester loved how much thought went into the app – you can select preset modes, live control, stories, and even let your partner take control from a distance. Just note, some people did find it was a little too large for them, so keep this in mind before shopping. While most suction vibrators are designed with the clitoris in mind, this Womanizer wand delivers pulsating vibrators, massaging air pressure to the G-spot. With 12 intensity levels and three vibrational modes, this impressive gadget also features an “afterglow” function that reverts the toy back to its lowest setting for a gentle comedown after an orgasm.

It would seem that vibrators fall under the rubric of unmentionable products (Katsanis, 1994), and hence are largely avoided from scientific inquiry (at least by marketing scholars). That said, vibrators constitute a market estimated at one billion dollars in the United States alone (Chiang, 2011). Most vibrators have locking mechanisms too, which some people mistake for a faulty product. Gerek vouches that this toy makes for “explosive climaxes” with its combination of sucking, stroking, and vibration. Yes, there’s even a “climax button” you can deploy when you’re getting close to coming, and the toy will suck you in even deeper, mimicking a deep-throating sensation for an intense finish.

We would recommend these models, which are typically priced around $90, to experienced sex-toy connoisseurs looking for something different, rather than to newbies shopping for their first vibrator. The Womanizer OG is a wand with a larger suction mouth designed for internal (G-spot) stimulation, though it can also be used externally. However , some customer reviewers who say they have large clitorises, prefer more gentle stimulation, or like a longer handle say they’ve found this toy to be good for external stimulation.
