D I.Y Sex Toys: Self-Love Edition

Instead, we’re reminding you to think carefully about when you’ll be using your vibrator, what you want from it, and how your body responds to stimulation. Fin is a petite vibrator that you wear between your fingers to add to your experience. There are three speed options plus a pointy side and squishy side, so you can experiment. Le Wand is cordless and boasts a charge time of three hours, tied with the Magic Wand as the longest charge time on this list. It’s also the only wand that comes with a travel pouch viberator, which is a major plus.

The magic of magnetic attachments is clear with this fun offering from We-Vibe, which allows you to discreetly slip this clitoral vibrator into the underwear of your choice. With a strong motor, the Moxie can be remotely controlled via the We-Vibe app — but it also comes packaged with a remote control for proximity use as well. Public reviewers indicated that they appreciated the Moxie was waterproof for use in the outdoors while in a bathing suit, for example.

Now we have the Vesper 2—born out of a Kickstarter campaign in late 2022 and officially launched in the summer of 2023. How could Crave upgrade something that was already close to perfection? Well, let me just say if you’re a fan of the original Vesper, you’ll love this one too. Overall, I enjoyed seeing how Dame Products combined new technology to give users an updated experience with something many of us already love — masturbating the old-fashioned way, by hand.

Unlike traditional clitoral vibrators, the Namii works hands-free, plus it’s fully waterproof and whisper quiet, and even has a magnetic charging base that also serves as a mood light – what more could you want. Designed to be worn during sex so both couples can share the vibrations (without hands required), this smooth and ergonomic toy is an excellent vibrator for simultaneous G-spot and clitoral stimulation. It’s also the rare option that’s fully waterproof and can be enjoyed without worry in the bathtub, shower—wherever. Since it’s meant to complement penetrative sex, people who are only interested in solo play might look for another option, as this one is on the pricier side.

According to our panel, Le Wand was “a lot of fun” during partnered play. The versatile toy can be used for sensual massages, foreplay and during sex. Our panellists were blown away by the number of speed settings and distinctive vibration patterns there were to experiment with, allowing them to achieve orgasms that were both fast and intense. While the Deluxe Mini is small, it’s also pretty mighty, Megan Fleming, MD, a psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. Its seven vibration patterns and 10 speed settings provide plenty of variety—FYI, that’s 70 combinations total. Plus, the ultra-flexible neck comes in handy when you’re using it with a partner (or two).

VIBCO’s Silent Electric Vibrators are totally enclosed and can be used inside or outside, in dust, dirt , rain or snow. The fact is, many similarly-shaped external wands (like FemmeFunn’s Ultra Wand or Dame’s Com Wand Vibrator) will put you out $75 and $119 dollars, respectively. Meanwhile, my go-to single-ended dildo, The Fun Factory’s Limba Flex, rings in at $75. Finally, the unique twirling technology that enables the Vibrato dildo to move like a finger is similar to that used in toys like Lelo’s Mona 2 and We-Vibe’s Nova 2, which both cost around $150.

Compressed air drives a hardened steel ball at high speeds around a highly finished and hardened steel race creating a high frequency vibration. VIBCO Ball Vibrators require lubrication to ensure long maintenance free operation and will start in any position. Mount your VIBCO Ball Vibrator either directly to your structure that requires vibration or use simple mounting plates welded or bolted to your structure. Mounting plates will produce a better vibration transfer to a larger surface.

The power that a great vibrator brings to the table (for men, women, and everyone else) can turn a standard sex or masturbation session into a mind-blowing one. An orgasm-by-vibrator can feel stronger and deeper, and that’s because, in some ways, it is. The Tulip features a rolling ball bearing at the flat tip of the toy, which feels quite strong against a fingertip but provides less-intense stimulation when pressed against a clitoris. Positioning it is complicated, and our testers said it did not provide enough stimulation to be satisfying. The Jasmine has a small, flexible, vibrating “tongue” set in a loop that is supposed to encircle the clitoris.
