Vibrator

Phthalates have come under fire for their potential to affect human health (the scientific jury is still out, according to the CDC) but in the name of “better safe than sorry,” you can easily find sex toys that are phthalate-free. This is any vibrator designed specifically to make the outside of your body feel incredible. People typically use them on their clitoris, labia, and vulva, but you can try them for external stimulation on any part of your body you like.

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.

Designed for those with a clitoris, the Eva “is held snugly in place by flexible wings that tuck under the labia,” explains Denyer. However, “you can use your hands to press it down for even more power if you like,” advises Weiss. For such a small package, it packs a lot of features with five speeds, three vibration patterns and a fully waterproof design (up to three feet). The unique shape allows you to experiment with different types of stimulation, and the squishy feeling of the silicone makes it more comfortable against your body than a rigid plastic vibrator — trust me. This uses air technology for a suction-like effect, similar to what you may enjoy during oral partner sex.

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 viberators, 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.

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.

We’ve scoured our favorite online sex toy shops for vibrators, dildos, penis rings, and other toys that are intuitive to use and more importantly, a lot of fun. Buying a vibrator or other sex toy for the first time can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, we’d argue that it’s an act of self-care to do some research and consider what types of toys you might like to try.

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, and upkeep and cleaning aspects after intimacy. Reviews were coordinated over the span of a minimum of two weeks, if not longer.

Historically, there’s been a lot of mystery and mysticism surrounding the infamous G-spot. Here, we asked sex experts about all the ins and outs of G-spot stimulation and the best G-spot vibrators and sex toys for the job. Thanks to this vibrator, first-timers can finally enjoy both external and internal stimulations whenever they please. You’ll fall in love with its velvety-soft silicone feel that’s been constructed using premium silicone polished for the smoothest touch. Choose from four speeds and two pulsation modes, and enjoy up to four hours of strong rumbling vibrations.

It features the iconic rose clitoral design with a new insertable stem for internal stimulation. Made from the brand’s signature soft silicone , it combines classic suction with a firm yet flexible stem. You can guide your partner’s hand to your hot spots, or simply use the toy on yourself. If they see how much you’re enjoying yourself, they will likely be open to including sex toys as part of the regular routine.
