Unbound Bender Flexible Internal Vibrator
I totally get that $200 is a lot for a sex toy you might not like until you try it. Its Pro 2 model offers a similar clitoral stimulation to the Womanizer, but for much less. You don’t get all of the same features as you would with the Womanizer Premium (like the autopilot or Smart Silence features), but at that price, I wouldn’t expect them.
As SELF previously reported, sex toys can pass along STIs, so safer sex practices apply here. If you’re using a sex toy with someone outside of a sexually monogamous partnership, put a condom over your toy. Condoms are also key if you want to use a toy for both vaginal and anal stimulation (which you can do as long as the toy is safe for anal, a.k.a. it has a flared base). With that being said, each clit is as unique as a snowflake and should be treated as such, according to Lexington, Kentucky-based marriage and family therapist Juliana Hauser, PhD. “Discover if your glans (clitoral tip) likes light vibration or a stronger speed,” she says.
The Pulse Solo Essential is the most pared-down model the brand makes, but if you want a version with a few more cool features (like a remote control) check out the Pulse Duo Lux instead. That’s why the Lelo Ina Wave 2’s game-changing Wave Motion technology makes this rabbit one worth writing about. Mashable culture reporter Jess Joho called the toy “the best that rabbit vibrators have to offer,” and that’s because the internal part of the vibe actually moves inside you, replicating a “come hither” motion. And as gimmicky as it sounds, it actually works pretty freaking well in providing internal stimulation. Thanks to the compact design, it’s ultra discreet and will fit into the palm of your hand nicely – a particularly popular feature among our testers. One of our panellists noted that it didn’t look like a sex toy, so you can easily carry it around with you.
The Dame Fin has three different vibration speeds, with the highest speed being super powerful. I was actually shocked by how rumbly it was — it stimulated just as well as some of my larger vibes. And it’s slim enough that you can slip it between you and your partner during sex. This G-spot stimulator is similar to the tapping vibrator above that tapes on the G-spot once inserted, only instead of a bunny shape it features a beautiful butterfly on a mission to deliver pure pleasure to the clitoris. It has four flapping and nine vibrating modes that work in tandem and a beautiful rose-shaped base. Made famous by Sex and The City over 25 years ago, The Rabbit vibrator is known for its ability to stimulate the clitoris with impeccable precision.
With all that in mind, here are some of the best remote-control sex toys. I don’t think the Pulse II works very well as a partnered toy, for several reasons. They’re definitely not intense enough to create significant pleasure for a female partner. It almost feels like there’s a cancellation effect with the oscillations and the vibrations. It’s too hard and bulky to feel very comfortable pressed in between two bodies, and any sort of thrusting is awkward and even slightly painful. I appreciate the effort to involve a partner, but this just feels like a toy that’s meant to be used on its own.
“The angled tip can be tilted for pinpointed pleasure, or you can roll the vibrator across erogenous zones like your nipples, perineum, or vulva for a more smooth and diffused sensation,” she says. There’s a huge range of insertable vibrators and sex toys that target this zone, including dual-stimulation ones (like rabbit vibrators), curved toys, and models with bulbous heads that pulse or thrust. A popular option for power-hunters, this 13-inch wand has four intensity settings and four vibration patterns. It also has a flexible neck that lets you apply pressure at different angles for a more targeted sensation. It has a cord, so you never have to worry about it crapping out on you mid-session.
In fact, these handy little sex toys are becoming increasingly popular among couples and men alike. Believe it or not, you can still get busy with your partner even when they’re 1,000s of miles away. Thanks to the wonders of technology and the sex toy industry, there are now a number of wireless remote sex toys that can be controlled via Bluetooth connection. With its flexible vibrating arm and rotating head for G-spot stimulation, you’ll be able to achieve orgasmic bliss like never before.
The stroker-style ones may require an erection for you to penetrate them—but aside from that, a lot of vibes feel great regardless of how your boner may ebb and flow. While this is commonly seen as a toy for vulvas, it can be—and is—enjoyed by many people of all genders and anatomies. Its vibrations are so satisfyingly deep that they feel good on pretty much any erogenous zone, from clits to dicks to taints to nipples. It’d make a great gift for a partner, too, since you’ll both be able to enjoy it, both separately and together. And unlike any other toy on this list, if the Magic Wand Rechargeable dies on you mid-session, you can just plug it in and keep on going, because it’s wired to be useable while charging. They all have a mouth, and inside that mouth is a (typically) silicone membrane that an internal motor moves in and out.
Made to fit perfectly in your hand, this the Empress Tidal is ideal for solo or partnered fun, with the added bonus of being 100 per cent waterproof. Working out which vibrators are best is fun, of course, but it also involves rigorous testing. It’s not just about whether or not a vibe will get you off, too — stimulate yourself enough and you’re all but guaranteed to get some kind of orgasm out of the deal. There are certain boxes a vibrator needs to check and while I looked into those myself, I also reached out to sexologists and sex educators for input. “Vibrators are often the primary option for anyone who’s not in a sexual relationship, though they can be used in coupled sex viberators , too,” she said. “Many women find it more difficult to achieve orgasm over time, and a vibrator can be helpful in providing the necessary stimulation.”
