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

The only exception is the portion in the middle that connects both ends, which is made from ABS plastic (also a non-porous, body-safe material). Keep scrolling for our full reviews of the best sex toys for couples, but here they are in one handy grab-and-go list, so you can bag those bedroom brownie points. I thought maybe it was just me, but three sex experts I spoke to for this article cited it as their favorite, too.

Below, shop top-rated, expert-recommended, and staffer-tested options from brands like Lelo, Dame, We-Vibe, and more. Thirdly, when you get your new vibrator, test its vibration strength on the tip of your nose first. You should feel it tickling your nostrils and sinuses, giving you an idea of how deep into your genital tissue it can stimulate. Remember, about 90 percent of the clitoris can’t be stimulated directly because it’s under the skin, so deep vibes are important.

So while you may not be tossing it in your purse or boldly striding past airport security with it in your cosmetics bag, you can rest assured that it’ll keep your profile low while in use. The Lelo Dot also features a ring and low, quiet vibrations viberators, but has a shape unlike the shapes of other vibrators. The tapered body of the vibrator allows users to explore and then maximize the specific pleasure points of their erogenous zones both externally (don’t forget about sexy, sensitive areas such as the nipples!) and internally. It stays true to its promise of a vacillating between a “teasing murmur” and a “satisfying pulse,” never straying into a loud, distracting buzz. This “beautiful looking product” provides double the pleasure with a suction head to mimic oral sex and an insertable love egg to target the G-spot. Testers loved the feel of the soft silicone against their skin and said it was a cinch to use thanks to easy-to-follow instructions.

Globally, the sex toy market is predicted to grow by 9.92 billion USD by 2023. A big contributor to that growth is a shift in our belief system from “sex toys are dirty” to “sex toys are healthy” and toy companies are investing heavily in that messaging. The sex toy industry is growing faster than most of us can make room in our nightstands, but it’s not just because we’re talking about orgasm equality and sexual pleasure in a way that we never have before. It’s because sex toys (and first among them, vibrators) are touted as the remedy to everything from low self-esteem to insomnia, menstrual cramps to chronic dryness. Yes, your vibrator , which sounds like a revving engine, has always gotten the job done (and then some), but these quiet toys can bring just as much power and intensity. If you’re a first-time vibrator user, many of the toys below offer a wide range of vibration patterns and speeds to ensure you can find a comfortable introductory setting.

This area is extremely sensitive and a prime spot to invest a little more attention, but the previous Tenuto’s solution was … less than ideal. The Tenuto Mini is most similar to a vibrating cock ring, the kind that wraps around the base of a penis and has a small vibrating motor at the top and, sometimes, the bottom. But while those devices are a dime a dozen and typically flimsy, the Tenuto Mini is rigid, with a small gap at the bottom. A few years ago, I tried out MysteryVibe’s unique Tenuto vibrator and found it somewhat wanting. Creating a vibrator that helps its user maintain an erection, stimulates neglected parts of the body, and is mutually beneficial for both the user and their partner was a noble goal, but one the company struggled to achieve.

While at Indiana University, I worked as a blogger and sex educator at the Kinsey Institute. Its flexibility and the fact that it’s waterproof make it adaptable for couples in all kinds of situations. Though its price tag is on the higher end of the spectrum at $199, it comes with a one-year warranty included for free.

And not only does it feel good, but it’s visually appealing too, with one tester describing it as a “beautiful looking product”. Although the brand says it’s perfect for couples, you’ll have just as much fun using it on your own – it would be hard not to when there are 20 (!) different functions to make your way through. You can customise the vibrations to suit your personal preferences, it’s suitable for use in the shower, and it’s easy to clean with warm soapy water or a dedicated sex toy cleaner. It boasts innovative 3D pleasure air technology, using gentle waves and slow, pulsating sensations to take orgasms to a whole new level.

Through our manufacturer partnerships, we are able to offer our customers the best technology solutions and a wide array of products at competitive prices. “This two-finger vibrator is ergonomic, easy to use, and gives you the power to shape and control the vibrational impact. A two-finger grip ensures it stays in place, so your focus is all on the pleasure it brings,” says Balestrieri. The toy’s ability to stimulate the often-overlooked A-spot was a revelation, offering a new dimension of pleasure that I hadn’t fully explored before. However, this depth of stimulation might be overwhelming for some users, especially those new to internal toys. My only rub with this toy is its price; it rings up at $150, which is on the expensive side for a vibrator.
