How to Use a Vibrator: Tips From Sex and Wellness Experts

If you want vibration and air suction, try the newer Pro 2 Plus which combines both sensations. “If you look at the categories of vibrators, you can kind of pare down everything into wands, ‘twice as nice’ and bullets,” says Coyote Amrich, director of purchasing and product development for Good Vibrations and Babeland. From bullets to air suction, these are the bestselling and highest-rated vibrators out there.

It’s not as powerful as any of the other vibrators, although bullets rarely are. Both arms vibrate to four speeds and six patterns, although the outer arm has decidedly more oomph that the inner arm. Still, this little toy buzzes against your G-spot, your clitoris, and your partner’s penis, giving them a pleasurable sensation as they thrust. And those vibrations are the deep, rumbly kind instead of the topical buzzing that a lot of vibrators have, which is great for penetrative use. If you like the idea of a thrusting G-spot vibrator but want to get in on some of that clitoral action, too, then this is the sex toy for you. It features a self-thrusting head that engages the G-spot, while a swirling clitoral vibrator delivers intense pleasure to the clit.

Or put a towel or blanket between you and your toy, or keep your underwear on. (This is why I like the Limon so much; you simply squeeze harder for more speed, instead of having to fiddle with any buttons.) You’re looking for a setting that feels nice and moderate, not like it’s power-waxing your clitoris. I like it because it’s simple and intuitive to use, fits in the hand nicely, and packs a punch despite looking cutesy. It might look a little intimidating for a first-time toy, but many women will love the clitoris-cradling sensation it creates. Both the LELO Lily and JeJoue Mimi are pretty straightforward and uncomplicated, while still being high-quality. I suggest reading reviews online to get more perspectives about your potential purchase.

Disabled or chronically sick people can claim VAT relief on purchases for personal or domestic use that are applicable to their disability or sickness. In order to buy non-prescription medicines you must be a registered user of our site as we are obliged to record your transaction history. We also ask that you complete our questionnaire so our pharmacy team can check that this product is suitable for you to buy. Please choose a colour or size before adding this product to your favourites. The rounded tip of the toy covers plenty of surface area, while the ridges that run up and down the shaft can be angled for more pinpointed pressure. Plus, the buttons are intuitive to operate, which is especially nice for beginners.

(BTW viberators, A Roll In The Hay and Oh Joy Sex Toy are two of my favorite reviewers). As fan-freaking-tastic as masturbation is, there’s often an annoying amount of work that goes into solo sex play. Yes, a dynamite vibrator will make the experience easier, but all that maneuvering?

Fast-forward to the 1950s , when one company began marketing the Vibra Finger “Gum Massager” (uh-huh). Featuring a “full-size” finger attached to an electric base, the massager was dentist approved. The money-back guarantee is nice, but we have a feeling no one ever took advantage of it.

“It gave me the most intense orgasms I’ve ever experienced,” said one satisfied tester. Some brands may note that their toys are made from “body-safe” materials. All medical-grade silicone is also body-safe—but the reverse isn’t always true. To find the best wand vibrators, SELF contributors pulled on their combined nearly three decades of experience testing and reviewing sex toys. We also consulted 10 experts and asked them to share their tried-and-true recommendations. The final list includes high-quality, top-rated wand vibrators across different sizes, price points, and intensities.

The Satisfyer Pro 2 uses suction technology similar to that of the Womanizer models. We recommend water-based lube because it is safe to use with all types of toys. There is some controversy surrounding the impact of silicone lube on silicone toys, so we decided to conduct our own test.

Time and time again, I will toss a breezy, adjustable C-ring like this into my bag or back pocket. It’s discreet, and works for pretty much all penis sizes (the max adjustment level is 8.5 inches), and when you’re done using it, the release toggle is just a push away. Listen, I want to do my part for the environment, but I also want to get off—and now I can do both. The Gaia Eco surprised me with its power and design—it’s not just a gimmick, it works. Plus, I feel slightly better about my life choices knowing my vibrator isn’t contributing to landfills. The PlusOne Dual Vibrating Massager delivers pleasure without the hefty price tag.

There are 10 different vibration modes and speeds to explore, and you can do so quietly with this discreet model. It’s a good pick whether you’re well acquainted with your G-spot or more of a beginner. One tester who told us they didn’t usually like a G-spot vibrator and found most models disappointing, was pleasantly surprised with this one. I’ve tried over 400 sex toys in over 12 years of writing about them professionally, including several designed for grinding. The best ones are intuitive to use, comfortable, versatile, and—of course— pleasurable. While I’ve mainly used grinders solo, I’ve also tested them in situations like dry-humping with a partner and having strap-on sex.
