Best vibrators 2023: good, great, and orgasmic
Unlike your classic vibrator, which usually features a rumbly motor, these innovative toys utilize clit-sucking air pulsations rather than (or in tandem with) vibrations. This one fits nearly-effortlessly between two fingers, and is great for focusing vibration onto sensitive hotspots like the clit, nipples, or taint. I love this toy as someone who has chronic pain in my hands, because it’s easy for me to keep a grip on, even when my pain is flaring up.
One of the slimmest suction vibrators available, the We-Vibe Melt is our pick for partnered and multi-partnered play. Designed to fit between two bodies during intercourse vibrators, it can seamlessly slide in place for non-intrusive clitoral pleasure. Choose from 12 different intensity levels using the buttons on the back of the toy or through the We-Vibe app. This wand from FemmeFunn is one of my all-time favorites, thanks to its simple controls, wide range of vibration patterns, and delightful texture it delivers. Covered in buttery, body-safe silicone, it feels silky and skinlike—not sticky or tacky, as can be the case with lower-quality toys.
The shorter, rounded piece of the Snail Vibe Curve acts as the external arm, Weiss explains, while the straight end can provide up to five inches of penetration. The coiled shape of the smaller arm allows it to stay in contact with your clit, even as you push and pull the toy, she says. Since the entire silicone snail is flexible, you can slide the longer end in just a little , or all the way—the “shell” part of the toy unfurls as you insert the toy deeper. In my opinion, this is an improvement over other rabbit vibes that have shorter arms that can’t reach your clit unless the other end is fully inside your vagina.
You have internal and external anal sphincter muscles; the internal one sucks things up, so your toy could get stuck if there’s nothing to stop it, Carolanne Marcantonio, LCSW, an AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. Choose a butt plug, dildo, or prostate massager that’s designed for anal sex, and be sure to lube up too, as the anus doesn’t self-lubricate. Le Wand takes pleasure and luxury seriously, so it’s no wonder it scored highly on test. Our panellists were impressed by the range of speed settings and distinctive vibration patterns there are to experiment with, allowing them to achieve orgasms that were both faster and more intense than when using other toys.
For example, you may want a small vibrator if you plan on using it during penetrative sex, and any vibe you’ll be using anally should have a flared base so it doesn’t get lost inside you. We decided not to test the original Smile Makers’s The Billionaire because it required one AA battery for four hours of use. The redesigned version has a rechargeable battery, but costs $20 more than the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure, and is covered by a lesser warranty. We tried the 6, which is similar in shape and size to a fountain pen. Unfortunately, we found the toy’s vibrations to be a bit buzzy compared to those of the rumbly and similarly shaped We-Vibe Tango (see below). And the Ultra Power Bullet 6’s handle vibrates to an unpleasant degree.
Luxury sex toy brand Lelo specializes in high-end technological marvels that can get you off, and the F1S V2 is a prime example. The value of quantified thrusting is debatable, but the data’s kinda fun to see. You can manually use the stroker or let it do all the work, and my partner is absolutely chuffed about how great this thing feels. As this is top of the line stuff, you do pay a premium price, as is standard for most Lelo products.
