Introducing hands-free vibration during sex can enhance things

Bellesa Boutique Launches World’s First-Ever Silent Vibrator

Different people may prefer different intensity levels of vibration, and some people may be more sensitive to vibration than others. There are many different types of vibrators, so some may be better suited for certain people than others. Vibrators are used by placing the device on sensitive erogenous zones, which are places on your body that increase sexual pleasure.

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.

This stroker is so high-tech, it makes a standard Fleshlight look like a lubed-up toilet paper roll. The Lovense Max offers not only a pleasurably textured interior, but also vibration that surrounds your dick, and rhythmic contractions that squeeze and massage it. If you prefer gentler, pinpointed stimulation, the Lelo Dot may be the best choice for you. The teardrop-shaped Dot looks a bit odd at first glance, but its accessible design offers focused clitoral stimulation. There’s nothing worse than fumbling around with buttons while you’re trying to get in the zone, either alone or with a partner.

In addition to 14 speed and intensity settings, ‘climax control’ allows users to play around with the depth of suction, so you’re bound to find something that works for you. Before you purchase a sex toy, check that it’s body-safe (like all of our picks are). Single-use sex toys are “the most underrated option for first-time sex-toy owners,” according to one SELF sexual wellness writer.

Jawed-Wessel, whose area of research expertise is postpartum sex, likes Lelo’s clitoral vibrators, “which are perfect for the woman who doesn’t even want to be reminded of vaginal penetration,” she says. The nipples are very sensitive, so showing them some attention can be an exciting way to bring more pleasure to solo or partner sex. This is super lightweight, so you can really focus on the sensations, plus there are five modes to find your ideal intensity. And don’t be afraid to explore beyond the breasts — try tickling around the vulva or penis to see what feels good. Introducing hands-free vibration during sex can enhance things for both you and your partner, and this is a good first option for people who haven’t experimented with wearable toys before (just note that it may feel snug at first).

“You’ll be surprised by how much this tiny, unobtrusive thing can do,” Weiss says of longtime fan-favorite, the Crave Vesper. The fact that it doubles as sleek, chic, eye-catching jewelry is the cherry on top of the sundae. Check that you’re happy with the size – it may be bigger or smaller than you thought. If there’s a vibe gathering dust underneath your bed right now (no judgement), adding an attachment can make a huge difference. The original Magic Wand is corded, so it will never die on you in the middle of a session (so not cool). But if you don’t have an outlet nearby, you may want to try the brand’s rechargeable model instead.

This jeweled sex toy comes complete with 15 vibration patterns and 6 intensity levels, so you can always find the right setting to get you going. And with up to 90 minutes of continuous use, you’ll be able to enjoy backdoor fun all night long. We talked to health experts to find out how oral sex toys can enhance solo and partner pleasure, as well as our overall health. We also asked about different ways to use oral sex toys, and what to look for when shopping. Then we scoured the massive pool of oral sex toy options (and read tons of reviews) to find the ones that best recreate the real deal.

(In addition to, you know, your hand.) It seems like they would the natural addition to your sex life. As most vibrators are app-controlled, it’s easy to give your partner the ability to control them remotely—an excellent way to add new thrills to any long-distance relationship. As Carol Queen, sex educator and staff at Good Vibrations says, panty vibes can also be a smart assistive device for anyone who doesn’t have great hand strength or motor control. Nicely, panty vibrators work as external vibrators sans underwear, too, with various vibration patterns and strengths. The best panty vibrators (and vibrating panties) slide inside underwear or are built-in vibrators, making for delicious, hands-free partner play.
