10 Things Your Vibrator Can Help With That You Wouldn’t Expect

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.

While orgasm doesn’t have to be the goal, I personally wasn’t going to come this way as the length of the attachment made it difficult for my clit to reach the vibrating saddle — and I wanted to come. It comes with various attachments suitable for both vaginal and anal penetration. The controller has two settings, one for “buck” and one for “buzz.” The buck setting controls the bucking movement of a dildo attachment while the buzz setting controls the vibrations, in levels that range from one to 11. The Motorbunny Buck is an update on the Motorbunny, which is a vibrating sex saddle. If you’ve never seen one, they look like smaller versions of those mechanical bulls you see in bars.

The same goes for the phallus—the erectile tissue goes deep into your body, and stimulating it with a vibrator can provide a new and exhilarating experience. For vibrators, you want them to be made with 100 percent platinum-cured silicone and/or ABS plastic. Hard glossy plastic is OK for parts that don’t touch your genitals, but platinum silicone is nonporous, easy to clean, and body-safe. Unlike lesser grades of silicone, platinum silicone doesn’t give off any weird smells or compounds that may be unpleasant or even harmful to your genitals. That’s because it’s chemically different from other kinds of silicone. Surgical steel (also called 316 stainless steel), and borosilicate glass are just as body-safe, durable, and nonporous but less common in vibrators and more common in dildos.

Alongside other We-Vibe toys on this list, this Nova 2 toy is fully remotely accessible via the We-Vibe app. Lovense’s most popular offerings for people with penisesis less a penetrative sex simulator and more of a holistic vibrator with mind-blowing constriction that’s temperature-controlled, too. Testers indicated that this gadget felt like a highly customized hand job which set it apart from other sleeves on this list. Alongside the Nora or another Max 2, Lovense gives you the capability of syncing up each toys to each other’s rhythms and movements, so it truly feels like lovers are experiencing the same eroticism in step with one another. Made in a familiar shape that’s time-honored, this rabbit vibrator brings all the features you already love into the future with Lovense’s mobile application. Designed to pair with the Lovense Max 2 masturbator (featured below), the Nora will respond in real time to thrusts and other motions so that each toy simulates live sex, despite being apart.

This cleverly conceived toy is made up of soft, heat-retaining stackable rings that can be placed on the base of the partner who is doing the penetrating; from there, simply adjust so you can control how deep your partner goes. Wyatt also points out that the rings can easily be added or removed to accommodate different positions so that pleasure takes center stage. Researching, discovering and shopping together is part of the fun — so grab your partner and read on to learn more about our top sex toy picks for couples, plus what you should be looking for before buying. As vibrators have become more mainstream, the types of products available have expanded.

Of course, we mean that in the emotional/spiritual/mental way, but we also mean that if you don’t have a vibrator you love at the moment, it’s time to get one. That said, it’s wise to think about how you want to use your new toy. If you plan on using your vibrator during partnered sex, you may want to opt for one that’s slimmer and less intrusive. If you’re using the toy solo, you might not care if it has a cord or has a larger, clunkier design. This depends on a range of different factors, including material, frequency of use and whether you’ve been cleaning it regularly. This was made even more enjoyable by the buttons, which (unlike on many bullet vibrators) are smooth to press and accessible, making this a good pick for first-time buyers.

“This tiny vibrator’s size makes it perfect for partner play, since it can be discreetly slipped into an overnight bag for a spicy sleepover,” says Alvarez Story. Indeed, it’s one of the smallest bullets available that also manages to be decently strong. With one button for toggling through both settings and speeds, it’s easy to use and even waterproof for bathtime fun. While its less-intense settings may not be ideal for those who enjoy (or need) a powerful vibe, my clitoris is incredibly responsive, so the fact that I could use the Vibrato sans-panties was a huge perk for me. I also love that while the handle-turned-dildo portion can vibrate, it only does so when turned on; when it’s not activated , it doesn’t buzz at all. This means when I used the toy as a wand vibrator vibrator, my hand didn’t numb out—a common complaint I have with some other vibes.

These one-and-done products allow you to explore your sexual tastes and try something new without breaking the bank, she explains. Dr. O’Relly suggests this remote- and app-controllable option from We-Vibe. It magnetically fastens into underwear (of any style) or a strap-on harness so “you can wear it out on the town or at a dinner party to take pleasure in secrecy and/or breaking the rules,” she says. The vibrations themselves are powerful but quiet—idea for thrill-seekers who enjoy the playful side of pleasure, she adds. The bestselling Dame Fin can be held between your fingers and has an optional tether that can loop around them for even more movement and exploration. “If you prefer the tactile sensation of your partner’s hand to that of a sex toy, you can position the Fin on the top side of your fingers, turning them into a conduit for the vibration,” says Finn.
