Unbound Bender Flexible Internal Vibrator
Below, shop top-rated, expert-recommended vibrators, 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.
“Vibrators with various settings and modes of stimulation allow you to explore a range of sensations to discover what feels best,” she says. “Versatile options are also ideal if you enjoy switching between different types of stimulation or want a toy that can be used in different ways, whether during solo or partnered play,” she adds. The Lush 3’s curved design provides simultaneous internal and external stimulation, with the egg vibrator designed to target the G-spot while a smaller vibrating pebble sits on the clitoris. Testers loved that the base is compatible with all Love Not War vibe heads – ideal when you can’t decide what you’re in the mood for – and they rated the sleek, waterproof design, long-lasting battery and handy travel-lock feature.

Better vibrations and new sensations in orgasm achievements are available, if only you’ll reach out and grab them. With all due respect to the hand, even your favorite meal gets boring—especially once you see what else is on the menu. You’ll also find a small button on the loop, which allows you to cycle through the five different speeds and five vibration patterns this plug has to offer. While it is a tad inconvenient to have one button to switch through ten different settings, it is nice that there’s lots of variation, as anal play provides some very unique sensations that people can have strong preferences about. Unbound’s toys also come with helpful user guides (how this not a thing for every sex toy brand, we don’t know) so you can get the most out of the Shimmy. This good-looking vibrator stands out for its unique tear-shape design.
The biggest compliment I can offer the Connaisseur MJ is the considerable time I spent with it in a meditative musical state—thinking not about a review, just basking in its warm, sprightly resonance and inviting touch response. At $2,499, the Godin arguably offers more personality than a satin-finished instrument at the same price with a more famous name. It’s well built and feels like a guitar that’s in it for the long haul. And when it comes to tone and a pure playing experience, the Connaisseur MJ shines.
And their standard treatment, bleeding, killed more people than it helped. For more on the 19th-century treatment of hysteria, read The Road to Wellville by T.C. Not surprisingly, these beliefs left an enormous number of women sexually frustrated. They complained to doctors of anxiety, sleeplessness, irritability, nervousness, erotic fantasies, feelings of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and wetness between the legs. This syndrome became known as “hysteria,” from the Greek for uterus. After a few minutes of fiddling with the controls, I got the hang of it—however, I think the slightly confusing design keeps this vibe from being quite as beginner-friendly as it could be.
That can feel great—but some people prefer more targeted stimulation, which is where other smaller massagers come into play, Dr. Litner says. Compact toys can also be easier to hold and control (although using a toy mount or sex pillow can help), may be better for some positions with a partner, and are a great choice for travel too. Although it’s called a cock ring, this sleek little product is a couples’ favorite because it does double-duty as a vibrator and can also stimulate the perineum, making it ideal for a twosome. “The constricted blood flow to the penis and the simultaneous clitoral stimulation during penetration can help both partners reach a prolonged and super intense orgasm,” Starkman says.
But the vibrator bends exactly the way you want it, so you can hit just the right spots. This Je Joue option (as its name indicates) is the love-child of the classic rabbit and fun-sized bullet vibrator, with ears that flutter against or hug the clit for orgasmic ripples. Just shy of four inches long, it’s ideal for when you want all the clitoral stimulation of a rabbit vibe in a pocket-friendly size. “Don’t be fooled by how cute this toy is—the low rumble of Je Joue’s motor packs some serious power for an intense climax,” Babeland brand manager Lisa Finn previously told SELF. Just note that, unlike other rabbit vibrators, this one doesn’t target the G-spot. A favorite of sex-toy blogger Epiphora, the bejeweled pastel Pillow Talk Sassy is affordably priced and offers powerful vibrations that can work for either clitoral or G-spot stimulation.
You may want to do some research to pick a vibrator that will satisfy your needs, although many vibrators have a variety of possible uses and vibration strength settings. The Ruby Glow Massager contours to your body—one side has raised ridges that you can grind your vulva against, while the other features a smooth nub that targets your perineum. Each side has its own motor, so “you can either rock back and forth along the toy, or simply sit down on it and let the vibrations do all the leg work,” Finn tells SELF. The Ballerina stays easy to maneuver in any position and can even rest between two bodies without you holding it there. It has 12 different settings, two simple buttons, and is quiet (even at its strongest). I try to keep things simple and stick with vibrators that are USB rechargeable either with USB-A or USB-C.
