VIBCO Ball Vibrators
Also neat is that half of the underbelly is ridged, for some added texture. He also independently reviews new products in the wellness space for Good Housekeeping, which he has done previously for Martha Stewart Living and Cooking Light. These testers evaluated aspects like connectivity, ease of use, adaptability and flexibility for personal use in the bedroom viberators, and upkeep and cleaning aspects after intimacy. Reviews were coordinated over the span of a minimum of two weeks, if not longer.
It has eight different vibration settings that you can cycle through via the controls on the handle. They’re somewhat small, so I found myself fumbling with them a bit in the beginning. But once I knew where the buttons were, this issue was easily corrected.
While it’s on the pricey side, it has 20 different vibration patterns and 10 intensity levels (that’s more than most other vibes on this list). Plus, five hours of run time on a single charge is pretty impressive. This rechargeable vibe is similar to the Magic Wand in lots of ways—with a powerful motor, large head, and intuitive buttons—but has a sleeker package. It “feels like a little bit of luxury,” Shadeen Francis, LMFT, an AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. If you’re impressed by a sex toy that has multiple functions, you’ll love the Satisfyer Partner Multifun 3, which Wyatt rates as one of her favorite choices for couples — especially those who want to get creative with sex play.
Additionally, ensure the remote control has sufficient battery power before embarking on public play adventures. It can be submerged in water for a short period of time when cleaning the sex toy, according to the user guide. As with all silicone toys, only use either a water-based or oil-based lube, as silicone lube will degrade the material. Even if you’re not using it with a partner, I found the motors pleasantly stimulating enough to be worth occasionally breaking it out for solo play. While it’s not my favorite masturbation toy, it provides vibrations in a way that I don’t think most people with penises are accustomed to experiencing.
“This tiny vibrator’s size makes it perfect for partner play, since it can be discreetly slipped into an overnight bag for a spicy sleepover,” says Alvarez Story. Indeed, it’s one of the smallest bullets available that also manages to be decently strong. With one button for toggling through both settings and speeds, it’s easy to use and even waterproof for bathtime fun. While its less-intense settings may not be ideal for those who enjoy (or need) a powerful vibe, my clitoris is incredibly responsive, so the fact that I could use the Vibrato sans-panties was a huge perk for me. I also love that while the handle-turned-dildo portion can vibrate, it only does so when turned on; when it’s not activated, it doesn’t buzz at all. This means when I used the toy as a wand vibrator, my hand didn’t numb out—a common complaint I have with some other vibes.
It’s a good option for travel, too, since it’s smaller than a standard wand and it has a travel lock function. If you ever wish you could give up control of your sex toy to a long-distance partner—or even to a random person you meet online; we don’t judge! —you should consider a Bluetooth-compatible option like this stroker. While the F1S (above) might be the winner in terms of vibration strength and sheer luxury, its “teledildonic” capabilities aren’t quite as streamlined as those offered by Lovense, a brand that specializes in this type of toy.
Searching for specific product reviews or experiences shared by users online can help you make an informed decision based on others’ experiences. Like the Hitachi, Le Wand has a “wave” button to cycle through the patterns, but it has a plus and minus button to change the speed (also, the plus button serves as “on” while minus serves as “off”). Similar to the other toys, Le Wand has both vibration and pulsing available, just with more variety in terms of the quickness and intensity of the pulses — these patterns are all laid out in Le Wand’s user guide.
Both of these areas can be sensitive to internal and external stimulation. Discretion isn’t always a concern when it comes to buying and using a vibrator. But if you live in a house full of other people (particularly with kids who are curious and prone to touching things that aren’t theirs), it very well might be a priority to have a quiet and sneaky sex toy in your collection. Thankfully, your favorite sex toy shops are loaded with discreet vibrators that offer subtlety, silence , and satisfying sex in equal measure.
With the Satisfyer Pro 2, you can experience the explosive goodness of oral sex all on your own. Designed by sex-pert Tracey Cox, its sleek, ambiguous look and small size are both geared toward inconspicuous use. Just slip it inside your bag, backpack, or purse (or elsewhere, ladies) for intense pleasure at a moment’s notice. It’s better to think about these factors before shopping, so you can avoid any unpleasant surprises after purchase.
When I first got my hands on one shortly after Vesper hit the market, I was blown away by the concept. It was a symbol of sex positivity, a reminder that owning our sexual pleasure is an essential facet of being human—plus it’s a great conversation starter. It also made me feel like I belonged to a private club, especially if I ran into someone else rocking one around their neck.
