When she’s not deep in words

Unbound Bender Flexible Internal Vibrator

The Volta definitely involves a bit of a learning curve, and it’s probably a better choice for advanced sex-toy users. The Inmi Vibrassage series features three vibrator models, each of which uses three individual tendrils to stimulate the clitoris. The two models we tested, the Fondle and the Caress, each have one stationary vibrating leg and two legs that rotate in circular motions to stimulate the clitoris. We preferred the longer handle of the Fondle, which made it easier and more ergonomically comfortable to use. Both testers who tried these toys said that using them involved a learning curve, and while one tester enjoyed the novel sensations and achieved orgasm using them, our other tester could not , even after multiple sessions.

She currently manages her own e-commerce business and writes lifestyle and shopping content for leading publications including news.com.au viberators, Women’s Health, Mamamia, Lifehacker, Kidspot, Elle and Better Homes & Garden. Juna particularly loves writing about beauty, health, lifestyle, food, fashion, interiors and travel. When she’s not deep in words, you’ll either find her at the latest restaurant, on a long run around Sydney or at home planning her next overseas trip.

If your go-to place to get it on is a bed with an outlet nearby, consider this corded wand from Doxy. It’s arguably the most intense clitoral vibrator—not to mention the shiniest. The fact that it needs to be plugged in may make it your last choice for camping trips, but you’ll never have to remember to charge it (or worry about its batteries dying). As you shop, it can be hard to know what’s worth your money and what you might enjoy. We spoke with experts to understand what you should look for in a clitoral vibrator—here’s what to keep in mind.

“Nearly all STIs are capable of being transmitted through sex toys, especially toys that are inserted into the body or make mucosal contact,” Susan Bard, a New York City-based dermatologist, affirmed. We loved the strong vibrations and easy-to-hold loop handle on the brand’s White Temptation but found the loaf-like shape to be awkward to use, preferring the tapered silhouette of the Purple Pleasure. The Beso Plus was our least favorite of the clitoral suction/G-spot dual-stimulator vibrators we’ve tried. Our tester found the “mouth” of the toy to be uncomfortably firm and irritating. If you wish to use a lubricant with your toy (as experts often recommend), keep in mind that only water-based lube is safe to use with all types of toys. Oil-based lubricants are not just unsafe for use with condoms but can also interact badly with toys made of soft plastic or rubber, causing the devices to disintegrate or to leach chemicals (PDF).

The warm, concise fundamentals, sunset-hued, softly decaying overtones, and lack of brashness are all hallmarks of this tonewood combination. But the Godin definitely doesn’t live on the dusty, dry, and antique end of the mahogany-and-spruce spectrum. It’s alive and dynamic and responsive in ways you might even categorize as “modern,” and has ample headroom that leaves space for shifts in mood and intensity without shedding its essential voice.

Babeland and Good Vibes are SheKnows sponsors, however, all products in this article were independently selected by our editors. The short answer is yep, using a vibrator should not compromise an IUD should you choose to get one. You can banish fears of enjoying a session with your favorite external vibe only to see your IUD on the floor. You’ll want to choose objects that are smooth, durable, and are comfortable for you to hold or manipulate.

Some vibrators have forked ends that sit against either side of the clitoris, almost like a cradle or tuning fork, that are made specifically for people who like direct and intense vibration, Hodder says. Others have a scoop-like end that almost cups the clitoris for a “surround sound” type of stimulation. Some are textured with ridges or little nubs and others have thin, flexible fin-like extensions that flutter. The Vibrato has three buttons, which allow you to control each end of the toy separately. While I love that the vibrator’s dual motors can be operated independently, there is a learning curve to figuring out which buttons do what.

“Sexual health is a really important factor in your overall health and wellbeing from a physical, mental, emotional and relational perspective,” says Zar. Open-air strokers are a godsend when it comes to breezy clean-up, and, much like its cousin the Fun Factory Manta, the Desire stroker is lightweight and a great travel-size toy. This 9.5-inch-long stoker, however, packs a whopping 20 functions and an angled stroking ring that makes it even easier to use for folks with limited range of motion or grip. Its hard to find something to complain about with this vibe, but we will say that though it can technically be used in the bath or shower, it’s only water-resistant, so you won’t want to submerge it in any water. Other than that, this is simply an elegant vibrator at an affordable price, making it an ideal pick for vibrator users of all experience levels.

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.

As well as featuring 10 modes, each with seven levels of intensity, it contains two motors so target the G-spot and clitoral stimulators can be operated separately – meaning you can achieve a “blended” orgasm. There’s also a heat function, which warms the vibrator up to body temperature for additional comfort. The toy is waterproof, super quiet and there’s a handy travel-lock feature, which prevents it from accidentally turning on in your bag. The battery life isn’t the longest but that’s a small flaw for an otherwise exceptional product.
