26 Best Sex Toys for Couples to Spice Up the Bedroom 2024
They called them “paroxysms” because everyone knew that women were incapable of sexual feelings, so they could not possibly experience orgasm. Before taking a new sex toy to bed, I spend some time learning how to turn it on and off, as well as how to use the various functions—so I did the same with the Vibrato. As a person who is admittedly bad with technology even when I’m not seconds away from orgasm, I generally look for gadgets with intuitive button designs. To me, that means just one single switch or a clearly labeled control panel. For people with vulvas, there’s a whole host of ways to have a really good orgasm.
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.
Research says it has nearly 8,000 nerve endings in that concentrated area. So yeah, it is a fun lil piece of anatomy many of us have and a great target of pleasure for people who like this kind of stimulation — and it deserves all the love we can give. For instance, some people love penetration while others are all about clit stimulation. Others enjoy the feeling of having their clit teased while they’re being penetrated, anal stimulation, or keeping the attention somewhere else on the body, like the nipples. Thinking about what sensations you like can help guide you towards the perfect toy. If you’re shopping for a toy to use with a partner, think about what sensations you know they like as well.
Generally, you can count on high-quality vibrators to land somewhere between $50 to $150. Make sure that regardless of price point, the vibe you’re buying is made of body-safe materials like platinum-grade silicone. No matter what, the general consensus among experts is that your toy should be phthalate-free, Howard says. Phthalates are a group of chemical plasticizers typically used to make plastics softer viberators, so you usually spot them in jelly-like toys.
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.
This vibrator gets rid of buttons altogether and is instead controlled completely by the way you squeeze it. Ordering your first vibrator can be intimidating — there are so many shapes, sizes, and materials to choose from. If you are unsure where to start, we’ve created a list of vibrators to fit every beginner’s needs. The top of the toy is great for precise clitoral stimulation, while the wider end provides more general vibration to the vulva. As the Pom is small and quiet, it’s perfect for either solo or partner play. I’ve only experienced the former given the current circumstances, but its lack of noise gave me peace of mind as I don’t live alone.
