A Newcomers Guide to Masturbating with a Vibrator

As a sex toy reviewer for the past decade who’s tried dozens of bullet vibes, I know the landscape well. But sex toys are also an inherently personal choice, so to get a full scope of what’s out there and recommended for a range of people, we reached out to a few experts for their thoughts. From app-enabled buzzers that you can activate with a long-distance partner to diminutive danglers you can wear around your neck, here are all the bullet vibrators worth your money. I’ve tested dozens of suction toys solo and during partner play with people of various gender identities, genitals, and sexual desires. We’ve explored all erogenous zones, direct contact on favorable spots, and enjoyed every one of the vibration patterns and sonic waves that came our way. Based on extensive research, these are the cream of that particular crop , the absolute best clitoral suction toys right now, some of which double as clitoral vibrators and massagers when you’re feeling saucy enough to spice it up.

“The We-Vibe Wand 2 is perfect for those who love intense, deep, rumbly vibes that diffuse across a wide surface area for a deeper, more full-bodied sensation,” she tells SELF. If a two-in-one doesn’t impress you, then certainly the three-in-one Vibrato Wand will. While this Playboy Pleasure product may look like a standard wand vibrator, it can also be used as a vibrating dildo or a G-spot massager. The two ends are powered by separate motors, and the handle also twirls to create that come-hither motion that’s so well-suited for G-spot stimulation. Some handles are ABS plastic, which is a hard, nonporous material that’s also safe to use against the skin and also weighs less than other materials (a nice perk), Dr. Litner says. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the market for your first vibe or your 10th—with so many shapes and sizes out there, finding the right one can be tricky (not to mention time consuming).

The Destructor butt plug is 9 inches overall length, with an insertable length of 7 inches. Don’t see the vibrator model number you want or need help making a selection? Send an email to the VIBCO Tech Team for assistance with DC-3200, DC-2500, DC-1100, DC1-400, DC-200 and DC-80 vibrators. This bad boy doesn’t just vibrate – it oscillates, meaning the vibrations move in and out. And not just any old in-and-out – we’re talking back and forth, up and down, all around.

It’s not fun to be into a specific sensation and level of power, and then for it to go in a different direction immediately. Variety may be the spice of life, but not when you’re about to orgasm. This thing is essentially a cock ring attached to a vibrating butt plug, but what sets it apart from other such toys is the clitoral stimulator for use on your partner. The vibrator itself has two speeds and five vibration patterns, while the beaded shaft adds extra pleasure for penetrative sex. “I had a great time with this toy, even as someone who is newer to anal play!,” one Lovehoney reviewer wrote.

It’s a perfect match for people who want to give their partner some control—maybe even from down the hall—for your best sex yet. While we have you, don’t forget to read up on how to clean sex toys so you don’t end up booking it to the doctor’s office because of STI transmission, yeast infections, UTIs, and bacterial vaginosis. Lelo’s Siri 2 is a fine toy, but it’s a bit expensive compared with the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure vibrators, which is more streamlined and less gimmicky. We also tested Lelo’s classic hard-plastic Nea 2, which is plenty powerful for its tiny size but does not compare to the We-Vibe Tango and its ultra-intense vibrations. The toy has an IPX7 waterproof rating (meaning it can withstand being submerged in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes) and is made from molded silicone and plastic, so it’s relatively easy to clean.
