D I.Y Sex Toys: Self-Love Edition

The Satisfyer Pro 2 is an Adam & Eve top seller and also has the stamp of approval from my Mashable colleague Jess Joho, who deemed it the best budget suction clitoral stimulator. Given this track record, I had high expectations for the Magic Wand and it handedly met them. I hesitate to say wands are foolproof orgasm machines because every body is different — but for my cis woman self, that was certainly the case. In truth, there’s no singular “best” vibrator out there, as everyone has different tastes. Someone who loves a suction vibrator may think a wand is overhyped, and vice versa. Sensually crafted to stimulate all the vagina’s pleasure spots at once, Smile Makers The Romantic boasts an ultra-powerful motor and a unique motion technology that delivers smooth and rumbly effects.

That move would have been my preference, but Dawner Prince (wisely viberators, I’m sure) deferred to the growing population of pedalboard clutter obsessives. Croat-Stone SolidHandmade in Croatia, the Viberator is a stout and lovingly built little dude. The guts of the unit don’t reveal much because the circuit is flipped. What you do see, however, reflects an exacting mindset on the part of its builders.

Below, browse some of the buzziest wand vibrators to get you started and finished. For simultaneous clitoral and G-spot stimulation, you really can’t beat a rabbit vibrator. Beyond being a super-fancy orgasm tracker, this is actually a solid vibrator too. The internal arm doesn’t vibrate, but the external clitoral arm certainly does. The wider, rounded head can provide more stimulation than other rabbit vibrators, and the customizable speeds and intensities from the app lets you get those vibrations that are just right. So yes, this vibrator is undeniably expensive, but it’s also undeniably unlike any other sex toy out there, which might just make it worth the splurge.

And their standard treatment, bleeding, killed more people than it helped. For more on the 19th-century treatment of hysteria, read The Road to Wellville by T.C. Not surprisingly, these beliefs left an enormous number of women sexually frustrated. They complained to doctors of anxiety, sleeplessness, irritability, nervousness, erotic fantasies, feelings of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and wetness between the legs. This syndrome became known as “hysteria,” from the Greek for uterus. After a few minutes of fiddling with the controls, I got the hang of it—however, I think the slightly confusing design keeps this vibe from being quite as beginner-friendly as it could be.

It’s made from the medical grade silicone material she recommends, and thanks to its two levels of vibration, it won’t feel overwhelming when you’re just starting out. Looking for something sleek and discreet that will totally get the job done? This luxe silver bullet , which reviewers say is “powerful but easy to use,” should do the trick. It has three different intensities and seven different rhythms, and only requires one AAA battery.

As a bonus, rabbits with a flexible clitoral arm also tend to be the easiest to thrust in and out while you’re using them, should you want to, because they won’t lose clitoral contact as you do so. Each product features Bellesa’s new, advanced WhisperTech™ innovation, which sets the series apart from anything else on the market by offering sub-audible vibrations without sacrificing power. Whether in a shared living space, a hotel room, or simply enjoying a quiet night at home, the Whisper product line will allow users to fully immerse themselves in their intimate moments. Once you’ve found a good speed, try messing with the vibrational pattern settings on your vibrator (if it has them). Cycle through all of your options, and try to find the ones that you like best.

It’s ideal for couples and can be used for sensual massages, nipple play and more. The clitoral aspect of a rabbit vibe can be crucial if you’re a person with a vagina who gets off mainly on that kind of stimulation. While rabbit vibes traditionally have fluttery bunny ears for that purpose, these may not be intense enough for users who need a lot of sensation or who are used to powerful vibrators. In those cases, look for rabbit vibes that have a thicker, more substantial clitoral arm, which will conduct vibrations better. Some rabbit vibes put their own spin on clitoral stimulation, offering rhythmic air pulses, tongue-like flickering, or various other sensations in lieu of (or in addition to) vibration. Rabbit vibes aren’t just for clitoral and G-spot pleasure—a lot of them also work well for prostate stimulation, with the external part resting on the sensitive perineum (a.k.a. the taint).
