- Body-safe materialBody-safe sex toys are made of nonporous, nontoxic materials. The best are compatible with water-based lubricants and easy to clean.
- Battery lifeSome toys with rechargeable batteries automatically shut off during use. If you don’t want to risk running out of power, consider a corded toy.
- Warranty coverageBattery capacity diminishes, and even water-resistant toys can short. A warranty provides peace of mind for nonreturnable purchases.
- Personal preferenceDetermining what toy will work best for you based on reviews can be difficult because every person’s sexual response is different.

Inspired architecture at a Las Vegas convenience store. Bianca Alba for NYT WirecutterI’m a full-time writer and sex educator who has tested more than 500 different sex toys in the past 25 years. I began blogging about sex toys in 2011, and I worked as a toy tester and copywriter for the retailer The Stockroom before I began reviewing sex toys for Wirecutter a decade ago.
I received my master of public health degree in 2014 from Indiana University, where I assisted research scientist Debra Herbenick with academic and consumer research related to sex-toy use. While at Indiana University, I worked as a blogger and sex educator at the Kinsey Institute.
As part of my research for this guide:
- I consulted sex educators and owners of sex-toy shops. I’ve also consulted all manner of sex-toy users, from first-timers to people who use vibrators daily, including people across gender identities and sexualities.
- I attended several trade shows to better understand the growing and changing sex-toy market.
- In addition to testing vibrators myself, I recruited additional people to use the top contenders and share their feedback.
- Like all Wirecutter journalists, I review and test products with complete editorial independence. I’m never made aware of any business implications of my editorial recommendations. Read more about our editorial standards.
Michael Murtaugh/NYT WirecutterVibrators are for everyone. And they can be a godsend in particular for people who are unable to reach clitoral orgasm easily from manual masturbation, oral sex, or penetrative intercourse alone. Many are also suitable for penile and nipple stimulation.
But buying sex toys can be an intimidating experience for newbies and experienced users alike, and not just due to the buyer’s shyness. High-quality sex toys are often expensive and nonreturnable, you have hundreds (if not thousands) of sex-toy models to choose from, and the criteria for what makes a good sex toy can be highly subjective. Determining what toy will work best for you based on reviews can be difficult because every person’s sexual response is different. Nobody wants to spend $100-plus on a toy that turns out to be a dud.
We’ve focused on toys that will work well for most people, including beginners. We’ve also included a budget option for anyone who is looking to test the waters before diving in.
We identified several vibrator features that were most important to our experts, our testers, and a general sample of sex-toy owners:
- sufficiently powerful stimulation to induce an orgasm (one tester listed her top three criteria as “strong vibrations, strong vibrations, strong vibrations!”)
- multiple or variable speeds
- made of high-quality, easy-to-clean, nonporous body-safe material, such as silicone or ABS plastic
- long battery life, with a priority on rechargeable devices
- easy to hold and easy to operate, with intuitive functions
We also considered warranty coverage.
Across 10 years of testing, we’ve relied on 11 people — ranging in age from early 20s to late 70s — to compare vibrators. Prior to participating in our tests, all of our panelists had used vibrators and were reliably able to achieve orgasm through vibrator use, though some were more experienced than others. We instructed our testers to use each toy themselves and to incorporate these toys into partner play when possible. We’ve also solicited long-term testing feedback, including from folks who bought their first vibrators based on the advice in this guide.
We’ve evaluated battery life by cycling the devices on and off for 20 minutes until they died, assessed overheating by letting them run for extended periods, and tested the water-submersible function of waterproof vibrators. We’ve also tested interactions with lubricants.

Magic Wand Rechargeable
No toy matches the power and intensity of the widely beloved Magic Wand. The intense stimulation it provides can be particularly helpful for people experiencing diminished libido or sensitivity.
$120$100 from LovehoneyUse promo code MAGICWAND100
$130 from Amazon$150 from Adam & EveWe recommend the Magic Wand Rechargeable, an improved version of the ultra-powerful Magic Wand Original. The cordless Rechargeable model offers twice as many levels of stimulation as the Original version — including gentler options — plus an assortment of vibration patterns, an easy-to-clean silicone head, and a rechargeable battery that works with or without the power cord, with no significant decrease in power in the latter case.
It works. Virtually all of our testers reported that the Magic Wand was the only toy in our test group that could consistently bring them to an intense climax quickly, intuitively, effectively, and predictably. In an essay published in the book Mothers Who Think, sex expert Susie Bright calls the Magic Wand a “miracle” because its power enables many users to have an orgasm within 60 seconds. Multiple academic research studies have found that prescribing the Magic Wand is one of the most effective therapies for women who struggle with chronic anorgasmia, or the inability to reach orgasm.
“The best penis toy, in my opinion, is the Magic Wand,” a tester who helped us review penis strokers told us. Using it on the frenulum (the underside of the penis head) or perineum (the flesh between the genitals and anus), they said, is “pure bliss.”
Several trans-feminine people we interviewed also expressed that the Magic Wand was integral to their gender-affirming masturbation experiences.
The rechargeable battery is sufficiently long-lasting. It lasted three and a half hours, spread out over a series of 20-minute intervals, at maximum speed; it may last longer at lower speeds. If it runs out of power, you can connect it to the removable AC cord and continue using it.
The Magic Wand was the only toy in our test group that could consistently bring testers to an intense climax quickly, intuitively, effectively, and predictably.
It offers a variety of speeds and vibrations. The Rechargeable version has four intensity settings, two more than the Original model. You control it with three buttons: The first turns the vibrator on, the second cycles through four speeds ranging from relatively gentle to face-meltingly intense, and the third cycles through four vibration patterns (alternating long and short pulses, a slow long pulse, a fast short pulse, and a low-to-high “wave”). The console lights up with blue bars to indicate the strength of the vibration. People who might have previously needed to use the Original version through a blanket or pants may find the lower, gentler settings of the Rechargeable model to be more comfortable.
This toy is large compared with most vibrators and has an admittedly clinical look. Michael Murtaugh/NYT Wirecutter

You can use this model while it’s charging. The cable is sturdy and fits securely in place. Sarah Kobos/NYT WirecutterThis toy is large compared with most vibrators and has an admittedly clinical look. Michael Murtaugh/NYT WirecutterIt’s relatively easy to grip. Testers reported that the Magic Wand’s long handle made it comfortable to hold for long periods of time without hand cramping or numbness. The switch sat high enough on the handle that testers were unlikely to turn the toy off accidentally during use (which was an issue with some of the smaller rechargeable models).
It has a softer, smoother silicone head. Some testers disliked the texture of the Original’s white vinyl head. The silicone Rechargeable head may feel more comfortable against the body. Nonporous and less prone to discoloration, the silicone head eliminates any previous concerns about phthalates, a plasticizer in the Original version’s vinyl head.
It runs quieter than the Original. The Rechargeable version still emits a loud hum, but in our tests it was quiet enough that when we put it on a bed and closed the door, it wasn’t audible through the door in the same way the Original model was.
You can use it elsewhere on the body, too. Another great aspect of this toy is its versatility: It can stimulate nipples and penises as well as vulvas, and it can convert into a vibrating, insertable G-spot or P-spot stimulator or a penile-masturbation sleeve when you purchase and add one of many attachments designed to fit over the head. It also works well as a whole-body massager, and some owners report that it can help soothe menstrual cramps. In the unlikely event that you buy this toy and hate it as a clitoral vibrator, you can always use it on your back.
Distributor Vibratex offers a one-year warranty for the Magic Wand Rechargeable. Many of our testers have reported that the Original version has stood up to daily use over the course of many years.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
It’s large. The primary complaints we’ve received from our testers about the Magic Wand Rechargeable are related to its heft (it’s 13 inches long with a nearly 2.5-inch-wide head, and it weighs more than a pound), which can make it difficult to use in certain positions during partnered intercourse.
It can’t be used in a tub or run under water. Unlike many of the other toys we’ve tested, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is not waterproof. This makes it a bit harder to clean, as you cannot submerge it, though you can easily wash the silicone cap.
It automatically powers down. The Magic Wand Rechargeable has an automatic shutoff function at the 20-minute mark, which can be disruptive if you don’t expect it (one of our testers thought the toy had run out of battery life when this happened). The manufacturer recommends letting the toy cool off after 20 minutes to prolong the motor’s life, but it is operational as soon as it’s powered back on — no waiting required.
The Magic Wand Rechargeable is huge — especially in comparison with our budget pick, the palm-size Satisfyer Purple Pleasure. Sarah Kobos/NYT WirecutterIt’s easy to push the wrong button during use. The Magic Wand Rechargeable’s three-button control panel is slightly less intuitive than the dual switch of the Original model, but it’s still fairly straightforward. You could accidentally hit the wrong button during play, but switching back to the correct mode is simple enough.

Similar features, but corded
Magic Wand Plus
This corded toy is almost identical in shape, size, and power to the Magic Wand Rechargeable, but it’s available at a lower price.
$80 from Amazon$75 from WalmartIf you want a plug-in vibrator, we recommend the Magic Wand Plus, which is basically identical to our top pick in function and appearance, with the same vibration power, four intensity levels, and easy-to-clean silicone head.
The Plus lacks the Rechargable’s vibration patterns and cordless functionality. Considering that the majority of our testers have reported that they don’t use the different vibration patterns, the absence of that feature in particular may be no great loss.
The Plus is a touch lighter than the Rechargeable. The toys without their cords weigh about 17 and 21 ounces, respectively; the Plus is slightly easier to maneuver and hold.
The Magic Wand Plus lacks the vibration patterns that the Magic Wand Rechargeable has. Sarah Kobos/NYT Wirecutter
Although the cord is removable (and replaceable, if necessary), it is required to operate this plug-in toy. Sarah Kobos/NYT Wirecutter
The two models look virtually identical, but only the Magic Wand Rechargeable (bottom) can retain a charge and operate when not plugged in. Sarah Kobos/NYT WirecutterThe Magic Wand Plus lacks the vibration patterns that the Magic Wand Rechargeable has. Sarah Kobos/NYT WirecutterIt’s an upgrade over the original Magic Wand. This toy is an excellent option for anyone who likes the Magic Wand Original and wishes to upgrade to a silicone head and more vibration settings but doesn’t mind keeping the cord. The Plus version typically costs only $10 more than the Original model.
Like the Magic Wand Original, the Magic Wand Plus has a 6-foot-long AC cord. But unlike on the Original version, it is removable, so you can store it separately and replace it if necessary. (Again, the toy doesn’t work without being plugged in.) You can purchase replacement chargers separately, so you are no longer forced to toss the entire toy if the cord wears out, as is the case with the Original model.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
The cord can wear out. Within two years of daily use, the cord on two of our Magic Wand Plus test units became somewhat unreliable, causing intermittent power disruptions. A replacement cord (usually around $25) is available.

Satisfyer Purple Pleasure
This small, waterproof toy offers strong vibrations, has a rechargeable battery, and comes with an impressive warranty, all at a fraction of the price of similar models.
$40 from Satisfyer(with 15-year warranty)$35 from Amazon$30 from WalmartThe small, sleek Satisfyer Purple Pleasure vibrator is an excellent value, yet it makes no sacrifices in quality. With its streamlined shape, waterproof silicone body, and USB rechargeable battery, this toy looks and feels like a more expensive “luxury” vibrator.
Its vibrations are impressively powerful for its small size. Its intuitive two-button control panel easily guides the user through five vibration strengths and 10 vibration patterns. One of our testers told us that after a few weeks of regular use, she had “already recommended it to several people based on how awesome it is and the price.”
It’s small enough for travel or partnered use. Measuring 4 inches long overall by 1.75 inches at its widest point, the Purple Pleasure consists of a 3-inch-long body made from velvety silicone plus a 1-inch-long handle made from hard ABS plastic (which helps dampen vibrations to the hand to some degree). Our testers found that the toy fit nicely in the palm of the hand and was small enough to tuck into a travel bag or hide in a drawer. The tapered oval shape fits nicely against the vulva, with vibrations focused at the tip of the toy for clitoral stimulation. The toy is also flat enough (about 1 inch thick) for easy positioning between bodies during intercourse.
It’s smooth and waterproof. The body of the toy is silicone-coated rather than solid silicone, so it has a firmness that more effectively transmits vibrations from the internal motor, eliminating the dampening effect we’ve experienced with some solid-silicone vibrators. The matte coating has a soft, suede-like texture that feels pleasant against the skin, though we recommend using it with plenty of water-based lube to reduce friction. You can easily wash the Purple Pleasure with gentle soap and water after use, as the toy has an IPX7 waterproof rating (it can safely remain submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes). This also means you can safely use the toy in a bathtub or shower.
The Satisfyer Purple Pleasure is compact, so it’s easier to use with a partner and to store. Sarah Kobos/NYT Wirecutter
The soft silicone coating can attract small amounts of lint and dust. Sarah Kobos/NYT WirecutterThe Satisfyer Purple Pleasure is compact, so it’s easier to use with a partner and to store. Sarah Kobos/NYT WirecutterIt’s easy to operate. Two buttons sit above the handle on the top of the toy. Pressing the top button for a few seconds turns the vibe on and off, and the same button allows you to cycle forward through five vibration strengths and 10 patterns. The bottom button’s sole purpose is to cycle backward through the aforementioned settings — a lifesaver when you wish to revisit a prior setting without cycling through 14 other settings along the way.
The vibrations are intense and rumbly. We found the level 5 setting to be akin to level 2 on our top pick, the Magic Wand Rechargeable. The Purple Pleasure may not satisfy you if you’re accustomed to reaching orgasm at the Magic Wand’s highest levels, but it packs quite a punch for its small size, and our testers easily achieved orgasm while using it.
Charging is fast and easy. The Purple Pleasure recharges via a magnetic USB charging cord. Satisfyer claims that the toy can operate for up to two hours after three hours of charge time, but the actual time may vary depending on the strength at which you use the toy. We recommend periodically charging the toy to preserve its longevity, rather than allowing the battery to run down completely.
It has a superior warranty — if you buy direct. Satisfyer offers a 15-year warranty on all toys purchased through the company’s website.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
Buyers cite battery issues, among other complaints. Several Amazon reviewers say they received nonfunctional (and nonreturnable) toys purchased through Amazon seller EIS-Inc. It’s best to buy directly through the Satisfyer website.

It can’t work while charging. Unlike with the Magic Wand Rechargeable, you can’t run the Waterproof model while charging it. Although that limitation is for obvious safety reasons, it is definitely a drawback if you run out of juice in the middle of a session. The Waterproof model also has a longer charging time (four and a half hours versus three) for a shorter run time (two and a half hours versus three).
The cap is easily lost. The small blue cap — meant to be inserted into the toy’s charging port when you’re using it in water, in order to keep it dry — is easy to drop or misplace.

The best vibrator for suction and vibration
Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3
This suction vibrator has a combination of suction and vibration settings and an innovative “liquid air” feature.
$60 from Amazon$80 from Satisfyer(with 15-year warranty)Over the past decade, our suction vibrator recommendation is the one that has changed the most often. New and better models have come out over the past several years, but none — at least so far — has been better than the Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3.
This model’s “liquid air” technology sets it apart. With the included membrane cap over the head of this toy, the vibrator provides a distinct sensation: “an indescribably euphoric” one, said one tester.
Its size and shape make it a great fit. The head, in particular, fits snugly against the clitoris. We found that the handle’s bulbous base fits nicely in the hand and allows for a secure grip. Overall the Pro 2 Generation 3 measures 6.5 inches long by 2.5 inches wide; it’s 1.8 inches tall and weighs just over 7 ounces.
You can dial in your favorite settings. The vibrator offers a suction mode, for use with one of two included caps: the standard open suction cap, and the membrane cap that covers the opening of the toy. You can cycle through 12 vibration-only modes — five levels of buzz, seven buzz patterns.
Charging is fast and easy. Like the Purple Pleasure from the same company, this toy charges via a simple magnetic USB charger and is fully charged with one hour of run time at medium speed after three hours of charging. We found that it was able to run for over two hours when used at the lower settings, though the sensations did grow a bit weaker after the one-hour mark.
It has a superior warranty — if you buy direct. Satisfyer offers the same 15-year warranty on all toys purchased through the company’s website.
The Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3’s controls are easy to operate and fairly intuitive. You activate and control suction mode with the up-down button at left and control vibration with the circular button at right. Connie Park/NYT Wirecutter

Finding your favorite settings takes some trial and error. The console is not the most intuitive at first, but it’s easy enough once you get the hang of it.
The suction head is firmer than some others. The opening of the air-suction head of the Pro 2 Generation 3 has a thicker, more rigid rim than that on the Dame Aer, our previous suction vibrator pick. The suction head on the Aer is also softer and more pliable, which some people may prefer.
Some buyers have reported the battery dying after a year or two of use. Buying directly from Satisfyer lets you make use of the company’s 15-year warranty.

The best vibrator for precise stimulation
Nu Sensuelle XLR8 Vibe Baelii
Marketed as a G-spot toy, this powerful, rumbly, waterproof vibrator is also useful for external stimulation.
$52 from SheVibe$80 from Nu SensuelleIf you prefer gentle — yet powerful — pinpointed stimulation, the Nu Sensuelle XLR8 Vibe Baelii delivers. Nu Sensuelle markets it as an internal, G-spot vibrator, but we found that it works just as well for external stimulation.
For pinpoint clitoral stimulation, no vibrator has performed as effectively for the price. The XLR8 Vibe Baelii is a great value, costing less than half the next-best option, the Lelo Dot vibrator, a previous pick in this guide. Unlike other pinpoint vibrators we’ve tested, many of which have uncomfortably hard plastic tips, the XLR8 Vibe Baelii has a broad, flexible silicone tip that delivers intense sensations yet is more comfortable against the skin. Even the lowest setting of this toy feels quite strong, with the greatest amount of sensation concentrated at the pointed tip and extending along the handle.
It’s easy to hold and use. You operate the XLR8 Vibe Baelii with a pair of buttons on a console at the base of the toy. You can turn the toy on or off by pressing the upper button with the wave symbol for two seconds. This cycles you through seven vibration power levels ranging from strong to face melting, followed by 13 vibration patterns.
The lower button has a lightning symbol and serves two functions. A short press activates the XLR8 Turbo Boost mode, which takes the vibrator up to maximum intensity for 12 seconds. A long press activates heating mode; after two minutes, the toy will start to feel pleasantly warm for those who enjoy temperature play.
Charging is fast and easy. The toy charges through a USB magnetic charger that clicks onto the base. The manufacturer recommends charging it for 60 minutes prior to first use, with a complete charge time of three hours for one to two hours of play.
Depending on the settings, when fully charged the Nu Sensuelle XLR8 Vibe Baelii can run for up to two hours. Connie Park/NYT Wirecutter
The console is easy to use once you’ve determined your preferred settings. Unfortunately, though, it has no back button, so you have to cycle through strengths. Connie Park/NYT Wirecutter
The Nu Sensuelle XLR8 Vibe Baelii is marketed as a G-spot vibrator, but it’s also excellent for pinpoint external stimulation. Some people may find its vibrations too powerful, though.

Flaws but not dealbreakers
It has no back button. If you skip past the setting you like, you must either click through 20 settings or turn the toy off and on and start over.
It may feel too strong for people with an especially sensitive clitoris, because it doesn’t really have a low setting. In addition, the vibrations can be felt along the full length of its handle, so you may want to wrap the handle in a washcloth (once you have found your preferred setting, as the buttons are at the base of the toy) if you have sensitive hands.

In addition, the vibrations can be felt along the full length of its handle, so you may want to wrap the handle in a washcloth (once you have found your preferred setting, as the buttons are at the base of the toy) if you have sensitive hands.
Wand-style vibrators
If you want a Magic Wand but prefer to spend less: The Magic Wand Original remains an excellent budget alternative to our top pick, the Magic Wand Rechargeable, though most people who want a corded toy are likely to prefer the upgrades that our runner-up pick, the Magic Wand Plus, offers.
If you think a smaller Magic Wand would suit you better: The rechargeable Magic Wand Mini, which measures 9.6 inches and weighs 9.7 ounces, is over 3 inches shorter and 11 ounces lighter than the Magic Wand Rechargeable. Unlike the full-size version, it cannot function while plugged in and charging, and it has only three settings, in contrast to the Rechargeable model’s four. Though the Mini’s smaller size makes it more travel-friendly, less cumbersome, and somewhat easier to use in partner play, our testers said it felt significantly less powerful.
If you’re looking for even more vibrations than the Magic Wand offers: The Doxy Original is an upgraded alternative to the corded Magic Wand models, offering comparably powerful — if not more powerful — vibrations with approximately twice as many intensity levels (ranging from mild to extreme), an aesthetically pleasing design, and an extra-long, 9-foot-10 cord. However, this model is typically around $30 more expensive than our runner-up pick, the Magic Wand Plus, which is a better value overall. Like the Magic Wand models, the Doxy Original has one year of warranty coverage.
If you’re looking for a less powerful, more ergonomically friendly toy: The Wellness by Blush Eternal Wand is not as powerful as the Magic Wand, but it is one of the most accessible wand-type vibrators for people with limited reach or grip strength. The extra-long, 14.5-inch handle is lightweight and curves toward the body, and the smaller head is easy to position against the vulva. You can operate the toy using either the console on the underside of the handle or a separate remote control. But to use the remote to adjust the strength of vibrations or cycle through the various patterns, you have to manually power the vibrator on.
If you’re looking for a budget option that packs a lot of power for less than $100: The Femme Funn Ultra Wand seamless-silicone waterproof mini wand is not as powerful as the Magic Wand, but it does offer strong vibrations in a cute, colorful package with ultra-fast charging and very little vibration felt in the handle, all for a great price. Its waterproof design makes it easy to clean or to take with you to the shower. Our chief complaint is that the textured surface makes finding the control buttons in the dark difficult.
Palm-size options
If you prefer a smaller vibrator with extra oomph: The Dame Pom is a solid choice. We found this vibrator to be a nice upgrade over our budget pick, the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure; its flexible form should work well for a variety of anatomies (a trans woman who’d recently recovered from bottom surgery recommended this model to us, saying that it helped her “get her sexuality back”). This palm-size vibrator is made of squishy, soft, pliable silicone, with a tapered shape featuring a nub that sits on the clitoris. The toy’s vibrations, while not as strong as those of most wand toys, are sufficiently powerful and rumbly. One minor drawback is that two of the control buttons are on the underside of the toy rather than on the top.
If you know you want a bullet vibrator: The Femme Funn Ultra Bullet is one of the most powerful mini vibrators we’ve ever tested. Measuring 4.3 inches long by 1 inch wide at the tip, it easily fits in a purse or a nightstand drawer. Made of soft, flexible, waterproof silicone, this toy is relatively quiet and easy to clean, and you operate it by pressing a single button at the base. It has two minor drawbacks: You can feel the vibrations strongly in the handle, and you have to cycle through the settings (as many as all 20) to find the one you want, since it has no back button (unlike on our budget pick, the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure). However, the Ultra Bullet does have a memory feature, so if you prefer the same setting every time, it will always turn on at the last setting you used.
Precision vibrators
If you want gentler precision vibrations: Consider the Lelo Dot, a previous pick in this guide and an ideal toy for pinpoint clitoral stimulation. Note, however, that it costs $100-plus more than the Nu Sensuelle XLR8 Vibe Baelii, the precision model we now recommend. The Dot’s curved loop handle is easy to grip, and its soft, flexible silicone tip is especially gentle and precise. It easily slides between the labia and is unobtrusive when used during intercourse. The Lelo Dot Travel is a smaller and shorter version with the same motor as the full-size toy.
Suction vibrators
If you want an ultra-quiet suction vibrator: The Womanizer Classic is an excellent toy, though we prefer the price and features of the Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3. Womanizer pioneered this air-suction technology, and the Classic model offers the perfect blend of elegant form and function, with intuitive controls and eight levels of stimulation intensity. The Classic toy has a five-year warranty.
If you prefer a softer suction head: We previously recommended the Dame Aer, and it remains an excellent choice. Its small, slim shape fits easily between the labia and is ideal for use during intercourse. The thin, flexible lip of the head is easy to position and feels comfortable against the body, and its button console is intuitive and easy to use. Its primary drawback is that it is one of the loudest vibrators we’ve tested, emitting a rattling groan at even the lowest setting.
If you want a high-performance model that costs less than our pick: The Unbound Puff, which is about the size of an asthma inhaler, is quiet, powerful, and priced under $50. A trans-masculine person taking testosterone recommended this model to us, noting that the larger opening made it comfortable to use with a larger clitoris. Although this model is less expensive and quieter than the Dame Aer, we ultimately preferred the Aer’s soft and flexible opening for gentler, more versatile stimulation, and neither toy is as versatile or has as strong a warranty as the Pro 2 Generation 3, our current suction recommendation.
If you want a suction vibrator that (no kidding) can double as a night-light: Consider the Osuga Cuddly Bird. It’s one of our favorite suction toys to emerge in recent years, but it has a significantly shorter warranty than the Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3 (just one year versus 15). The Cuddly Bird is quiet, however, and it is made from a soft, squishy silicone that is comfortable to hold. It comes with a futuristic-looking, illuminated charging dock. Although this toy offers excellent suction stimulation, we were less impressed by its plain vibration function, which our testers said was not powerful enough.
If you want a “rose toy”: We like Inya The Rose from NS Novelties, which, like the Unbound Puff, regularly costs less than $50. The “rose toy” became a viral sensation for its affordable price and powerful air-suction technology. At least three manufacturers make a seemingly identical version of this toy, and you can find countless look-alikes; we tested Inya The Rose, one of two models sold by a reputable sex-toy retailer, and we liked it, quite a lot. Nevertheless, we’ve concluded that the Pro 2 Generation 3 is the better choice overall.
Vibrating anal toys
If you want a vibrating butt plug: We recommend the Romp Bass, a pick in our guide to anal toys. It’s small enough to be beginner-friendly and worn for extended periods of time, yet it stays in place well. Our testers found that it offered “wonderful sensations of fullness and P-spot (prostate) stimulation.” Power the toy on to choose from six levels of vibration and four vibration patterns.

Body-safe toys are:
- Nonporous: Such devices are less likely to trap bacteria, viruses, or fungi after proper cleaning.
- Nontoxic: High-quality toys do not off-gas or leach chemicals that the body’s mucous membranes can absorb.
Materials considered to be body-safe include 100% silicone (some toys that manufacturers bill as silicone are made from a blend of silicone and other materials, so you should confirm that the toy is actually 100% silicone), borosilicate glass, metals such as stainless steel, and hard, nonporous plastics such as ABS and lucite.
The presence of possibly toxic chemicals in sex toys has been a source of significant concern in the sex-toy-aficionado community. Sex toys are not well researched — beyond this study by the Swedish Chemicals Agency — or regulated by any consumer-safety agencies. The researchers behind a 2006 report name five hazardous substances that they found in the studied sex toys, and they conclude that “normal” usage of the tested toys (which they define as 15 minutes once a week) is safe for most people. However, the anus and rectum are delicate mucous membranes that are highly absorptive and prone to irritation, and many people use their toys more frequently than 15 minutes per week. For this reason, we decided to err on the side of caution and choose toys made from high-quality, nonporous materials for this guide.
Keeping sex toys clean helps to prevent sexually transmitted infections, especially if you share your toys with partners. Experts recommend that you cover your toys with a condom when sharing them with partners, especially if it’s someone with whom you are not fluid-bonded (that is, you typically use barriers for other types of sexual activity).
Personal lubricant eases penetration of all types, increases comfort and sexual pleasure, and reduces friction and genital irritation. Using lubricant with toys is an especially important consideration for people experiencing hormonal shifts due to aging, menopause, or other life changes, as well as for those taking estrogen or testosterone as gender-affirming therapy, which can lead to genital dryness or increased fragility of genital tissues. Even people who produce abundant natural lubrication may benefit from using lube for additional comfort.
If you wish to use a lubricant with your toy, keep in mind that only water-based lube is safe to use with all types of toys. Oil-based lubricants, which are unsafe for use with condoms, can also interact badly with toys made of soft plastic or rubber. Silicone lubricants are great for anal play but unfortunately can interact negatively with silicone toys.
How to Clean Sex Toys
Most sex toys require nothing more than soap and water to keep clean. But you can sanitize and even sterilize some toys using other simple methods.
Most quality sex-toy manufacturers offer limited warranties or guarantees in the event that your vibrator breaks within a certain amount of time, typically one to three years. To make a claim on your warranty, you need to purchase the toy from a licensed retailer (due to problems with counterfeit toys being sold on Amazon and elsewhere) and save the receipt.

Wand-style vibrators
The Dame Com wand vibrator has an appealing ergonomic shape (it curves toward the body), as well as an easy-to-clean all-silicone body. However, we did not find its vibrations to be as powerful as those of the Magic Wand Rechargeable, and the vibrations were strong all through the handle, which made this toy unpleasant for testers to hold for an extended period of time.
The corded Doxy Number 3 is a smaller, quieter version of the Doxy Original. Although this sleek wand is both aesthetically pleasing and powerful, it costs more than our Magic Wand picks and the original Doxy.
The We Vibe Wand 2 is waterproof and easy to clean, has a nice ergonomic shape that is comfortable to hold, and offers a “smart silence” feature that indeed makes it run more quietly than the competition. However, we found the head to be large and awkwardly shaped, plus the buttons were confusing and overly sensitive (it’s easy to activate them accidentally). The vibrations, while rumbly, weren’t as powerful as the Magic Wands’ and could be felt strongly in the handle.
Like our pick for precise stimulation, the Nu Sensuelle Alluvion XLR8 Wand can work as either an external wand vibrator or a flexible insertable G-spot toy. Although the two sides feature separately controlled motors, we found that too much vibration could be felt in the handle to make this toy comfortable to use for longer sessions.
The Goop Wellness Double-Sided Wand Vibrator offers two distinct types of stimulation: The round, Magic Wand–like head offers broad, diffuse vibrations, while the pointed end provides more targeted stimulation. Our testers found that the sensations from the round end, while powerful, were not as intense as those of the Magic Wand’s and may feel too diffuse for some people. Although the pointed end can work as an insertable toy, for our testers it was not an ideal shape for G-spot stimulation; still, the pointed end is an excellent vibrator. One drawback is that strong vibrations are felt through the entire toy when either motor is switched on.
The Le Wand Original is almost virtually identical to the Magic Wand Rechargeable in both function and appearance, though it offers 10 levels of vibration instead of four, a flexible neck, and three color options (white, silver/gray, and pink). The trade-off is that it’s typically $50 more expensive, and it lacks the quick on/off switch of the Magic Wand Rechargeable. To our testers, level 10 on the Le Wand Original did not offer significantly more intensity than level 4 on our top pick, and this toy’s vibrations felt somewhat less rumbly. The smaller Le Wand Dive is waterproof but suffers from the same drawbacks we observed in the original Le Wand model.
The Unbound Ollie is more aesthetically pleasing and easier to clean than our Magic Wand picks, as it’s completely coated in soft silicone in an appealing shade of pastel turquoise. However, our testers said the vibrations were less powerful than those of both the Magic Wands and the Doxy Original; they also discovered that the Ollie’s flexible head, which initially seemed like an improvement on those of the other wands we tested, had some serious flaws. One tester, who has used the Magic Wand as her go-to toy for five years, reported that after a few uses of the Ollie, she “had it pressed up against her clit, hard but not like … Hulk hard,” and “the ‘stem’ between the head and the wand seemed to have snapped.” The tester continued, “It still vibrates, but it’s not connecting enough to make it functional.” In reviews, buyers have reported similar problems, saying, “I used it like 5 times and then it broke” and “really good but broke after 5 uses.”
The Wahl All Body Powerful Therapeutic Massager is a popular budget alternative to the Magic Wand that features intense power concentrated in a smaller head, but owners report that it breaks more easily.
Suction vibrators
Available at a fraction of the price of the Dame Aer and the Womanizer Classic, the Adorime Bita, a top seller on Amazon, is somewhat lacking: “While it felt like the Womanizer Classic fit perfectly against my clitoris, the Adorime’s open, round head was less effective at creating the same powerful suction effect,” said one tester.
The Womanizer Next is an excellent, quieter-than-most suction vibrator with a few key flaws. First, it typically costs twice as much as our suction vibrator pick. Second, as with many Womanizer toys, the Next’s width makes it more difficult to position than slimmer toys like the Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3 or Dame Aer.
The Womanizer Enhance has a relatively flat, concave opening, which we found difficult to position to get a good seal. Like other Womanizer models, this toy is wider than much of the competition. It’s also more difficult to clean than other air-suction toys with removable nozzles.
The Beso Plus is our least favorite of the clitoral-suction/G-spot dual-stimulator vibrators we’ve tried. Our tester found the “mouth” of the toy to be uncomfortably firm and irritating.
The Biird Namii is somewhat large and cumbersome, and its vibrations were weaker than those of similar models we tested.
The Lovehoney Mon Ami Silicone Pleasure Air Suction Stimulator contains Womanizer tech, but like several Womanizer toys, it’s notably broad at the top. If you like how Womanizer vibrators fit and feel, this may well be your best budget option for suction and vibration.
The Romp Switch X requires two AAA batteries. It’s great as an inexpensive introduction to suction vibrators, but be prepared to replace the batteries after every five or so hours of run time.
The Womanizer OG has a larger suction mouth designed for G-spot stimulation, though it can also be used externally. Unfortunately, the suction felt somewhat weak to our testers. However, in customer reviews some buyers who say they have a large clitoris, prefer more gentle stimulation, or like toys with longer handles note that they’ve found this toy to be good for external stimulation.
The Womanizer Premium is significantly more expensive than the Classic; we’re not convinced that its added “autopilot” and “smart silence” features are worth an additional $60 or so.
Precision vibrators
The Cal Exotics Jasmine has a small, flexible, vibrating “tongue” set in a loop that is supposed to encircle the clitoris. Though this toy provided powerful, focused stimulation, we found such pinpoint stimulation to be more intense and easier to position with the Nu Sensuelle XLR8 Vibe Baelii.
JimmyJane’s Focus vibrator, which has the appearance of a small enema bulb, emitted a loud, high-pitched buzzing noise and an equally buzzy and too-intense sensation from the hard plastic tip, even when we covered it with one of the three included silicone sleeves.
The Romp Pop’s charging port and power button (on the toy’s flat base) are difficult to locate without a flashlight.
The Satisfyer Twirling Fun is relatively quiet, but the silicone-coated tip felt hard to our testers, and the vibrations were too buzzy for it to be satisfying as a pinpoint vibrator.
Before the Nu Sensuelle XLR8 Vibe Baelii and Lelo Dot, we recommended the Zumio S for precise stimulation. We still love this toy, but we have encountered some issues with battery longevity during long-term testing. Although Zumio covers the toy with a two-year warranty, all three units we’ve long-term tested have exhibited a decline in battery life toward the end of their warranty periods. Additionally, the Zumio S — which is designed to be stored in its charger — has a longer-than-usual charging period of 16 hours. After two years of occasional use, one Zumio S we tested barely retained a lasting charge if we charged it for less than the full 16 hours, and even on a full charge, it stopped running after 1 hour 45 minutes, well under the promised two-hour run time.
Like the Zumio S, the Zalo Bess has a narrow tip for precise stimulation. It comes with three attachment tips, which in our tests failed to produce significant functional differences. The Bess’s handle can technically serve as an insertable vibrator, as well, but we found that feature impractical. This toy’s primary drawback is its control panel. Whereas most vibrators offer multiple vibration levels that you can cycle through before the pattern settings begin, or a separate button for the pattern settings altogether, the Bess has three levels of continuous vibration strengths mixed in between five vibration patterns at random. If you are not interested in the patterns, cycling through this hodgepodge of settings to find your desired level of vibration can be confusing.
Vibrators under $75
In an earlier version of this guide, we named the CalExotics Silver Bullet as our budget pick. Subsequently we concluded that the pricier but cordless Satisfyer Purple Pleasure offers stronger vibrations, is made of better-quality materials, and is more aesthetically pleasing.
The Romp Wave, a leaf-shaped rechargeable silicone vibrator, is cute, but its quiet, buzzy vibrations were fairly weak in our tests.
While we appreciated the addition of a finger grip on the Wellness by Blush Palm Sense vibrator, it still transmitted a lot of vibration into the hand. Overall, this toy felt wide and bulky, and it was difficult to position comfortably. Additionally, the thick silicone tip seemed to dampen the vibrations.
Two long-term testers encountered issues with the Maude Vibe’s lithium-ion battery bricking within or just after the one-year warranty period, particularly if they didn’t keep the toy consistently charged.
The Satisfyer Dark Desire is quite similar in size and power to the Purple Pleasure, but we found its wider tip to be less convenient for positioning and its textured silicone to be more irritating than pleasurable. We loved the strong vibrations and easy-to-hold loop handle on the company’s White Temptation but found its loaf-like shape awkward to use, preferring the tapered silhouette of the Purple Pleasure.
Satisfyer’s Ultra Power Bullet line includes eight models. We tried the Ultra Power Bullet 6, which is similar in shape and size to a fountain pen. Unfortunately, we found the toy’s vibrations to be a bit buzzy in comparison with those of the rumbly and similarly shaped We-Vibe Tango. And this model’s handle vibrated to an unpleasant degree.
The Unbound Pep is a cute and affordable palm-sized vibrator, but unfortunately its thick silicone seemed to dampen the vibrations, causing them to feel less focused and powerful than those from similar models, including the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure and the Dame Pom.
The tiny but super-powerful We-Vibe Tango is a good value for a rechargeable, bullet-style toy that is small enough to fit in a pocket but capable of delivering the rumbly intensity of a much larger vibrator. Although we recommend this model as a starter vibrator, for some of our testers the hard plastic became slippery and difficult to hold when it came in contact with lubricant. This was not the case with the less expensive Purple Pleasure or Femme Funn Ultra Bullet.
The rest
The Womanizer Vibe is one of the quietest vibrators we’ve tried, but we found its vibrations weak and underwhelming. Compared with the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure, this Womanizer model was somewhat more difficult to position.
The Mantric Rechargeable Clitoral Vibrator looks like a sex toy issued by Starfleet: Its dark red asymmetrical oblong shape and flashing multicolor lights give it a retro, sci-fi aesthetic. It’s an attractive and decent vibrator but not as powerful as other small vibrators that usually cost about as much, such as the Femme Funn Ultra Bullet, and its vibrations could be felt strongly in the handle.
The tiny, egg-shaped Blush Novelties Aria Flutter Tongue is adorable, but we found the Evolved Tongue Tied to be a better overall choice among tongue-style vibrators. The small, flickering “tongue” on the Aria Flutter Tongue is inset in a mouth similar to that of a suction vibrator such that the tongue’s motion isn’t hindered by excess pressure, but overall we found this toy’s size and speed more irritating than pleasurable.
Dame’s original Eva vibrator was appealing in concept as a “hands-free, strap-free, non-intrusive couples’ vibrator.” Unfortunately, our testers found that it failed to stay in place well: “The only issue with the thing is its strapless design, which means that during PIV penis-in-vagina intercourse the thing just falls right off unless you’re flat on your back and trying your best not to move too much. Too much focusing on keeping the toy in place takes attention away from the act itself.” Others found it too weak to be satisfying.
We found the second-generation Dame Eva an improvement on the original, as it was smaller, easier to position, and more powerful. But it still had the same issues with being “buzzy” and slipping around during partner play.
The Dame Kip is a perfectly effective and elegant lipstick-style vibrator, but it is usually more expensive than the equally powerful Satisfyer Purple Pleasure.
The Evolved Tongue Tied is our favorite of the “tongue” vibrators we’ve tested. Although the results were not as pinpointed as those from the Lelo Dot, we did find that this vibrator’s flickering tongue (measuring about 1 inch long and 0.25 inch wide at the tip) offered powerful, focused sensations. There can be a bit of a learning curve with optimal positioning for using this toy, as applying too much pressure may cause the tongue’s motion to stall.
The vibrations of the Je Joue Mimi felt jerky and choppy at the lower speeds and caused the motor to make wheezing noises. This toy works best if you use it at its maximum setting, provided that the maximum setting is not too strong or weak for your personal tastes.
Lelo’s Siri 2 is a fine toy, but it’s a bit expensive compared with the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure, which is more streamlined and less gimmicky. We also tested the hard-plastic Lelo Nea 2, which was plenty powerful for its tiny size but did not compare to the We-Vibe Tango and its ultra-intense vibrations. Lelo’s Nea 3 has superseded the Nea 2; we haven’t tested it.
The bejeweled pastel Pillow Talk Sassy is affordably priced and offers powerful vibrations that can work for either clitoral or G-spot stimulation. Although our testers liked the sleek shape and size of this model, in our tests it generally worked better as a G-spot toy than as an external vibrator. The Sassy’s sibling, the Pillow Talk Flirty bullet, is designed specifically for clitoral stimulation, but we found that its vibrations were weaker than those of our budget pick.
The Tenga Iroha Temari is an exceptionally cool-looking vibrator inspired by traditional Japanese textile designs, with a unique swiveling head, a base designed to reduce the transmission of vibrations to the hand, and a convenient fitted cover that keeps the vibrator discreet and dust-free when not in use. Although this vibrator offers powerful vibrations for its small size, our testers found it to be a bit noisy compared with other models and tricky to clean around the edges of the swiveling head.

The Dame Com wand vibrator has an appealing ergonomic shape (it curves toward the body), as well as an easy-to-clean all-silicone body. However, we did not find its vibrations to be as powerful as those of the Magic Wand Rechargeable, and the vibrations were strong all through the handle, which made this toy unpleasant for testers to hold for an extended period of time.
The corded Doxy Number 3 is a smaller, quieter version of the Doxy Original. Although this sleek wand is both aesthetically pleasing and powerful, it costs more than our Magic Wand picks and the original Doxy.
The We Vibe Wand 2 is waterproof and easy to clean, has a nice ergonomic shape that is comfortable to hold, and offers a “smart silence” feature that indeed makes it run more quietly than the competition.

The vibrations, while rumbly, weren’t as powerful as the Magic Wands’ and could be felt strongly in the handle.
Like our pick for precise stimulation, the Nu Sensuelle Alluvion XLR8 Wand can work as either an external wand vibrator or a flexible insertable G-spot toy. Although the two sides feature separately controlled motors, we found that too much vibration could be felt in the handle to make this toy comfortable to use for longer sessions.
The Goop Wellness Double-Sided Wand Vibrator offers two distinct types of stimulation: The round, Magic Wand–like head offers broad, diffuse vibrations, while the pointed end provides more targeted stimulation. Our testers found that the sensations from the round end, while powerful, were not as intense as those of the Magic Wand’s and may feel too diffuse for some people. Although the pointed end can work as an insertable toy, for our testers it was not an ideal shape for G-spot stimulation; still, the pointed end is an excellent vibrator. One drawback is that strong vibrations are felt through the entire toy when either motor is switched on.
The Le Wand Original is almost virtually identical to the Magic Wand Rechargeable in both function and appearance, though it offers 10 levels of vibration instead of four, a flexible neck, and three color options (white, silver/gray, and pink). The trade-off is that it’s typically $50 more expensive, and it lacks the quick on/off switch of the Magic Wand Rechargeable. To our testers, level 10 on the Le Wand Original did not offer significantly more intensity than level 4 on our top pick, and this toy’s vibrations felt somewhat less rumbly. The smaller Le Wand Dive is waterproof but suffers from the same drawbacks we observed in the original Le Wand model.
The Unbound Ollie is more aesthetically pleasing and easier to clean than our Magic Wand picks, as it’s completely coated in soft silicone in an appealing shade of pastel turquoise. However, our testers said the vibrations were less powerful than those of both the Magic Wands and the Doxy Original; they also discovered that the Ollie’s flexible head, which initially seemed like an improvement on those of the other wands we tested, had some serious flaws. One tester, who has used the Magic Wand as her go-to toy for five years, reported that after a few uses of the Ollie, she “had it pressed up against her clit, hard but not like … Hulk hard,” and “the ‘stem’ between the head and the wand seemed to have snapped.” The tester continued, “It still vibrates, but it’s not connecting enough to make it functional.” In reviews, buyers have reported similar problems, saying, “I used it like 5 times and then it broke” and “really good but broke after 5 uses.”
The Wahl All Body Powerful Therapeutic Massager is a popular budget alternative to the Magic Wand that features intense power concentrated in a smaller head, but owners report that it breaks more easily.
Suction vibrators
Available at a fraction of the price of the Dame Aer and the Womanizer Classic, the Adorime Bita, a top seller on Amazon, is somewhat lacking: “While it felt like the Womanizer Classic fit perfectly against my clitoris, the Adorime’s open, round head was less effective at creating the same powerful suction effect,” said one tester.
The Womanizer Next is an excellent, quieter-than-most suction vibrator with a few key flaws. First, it typically costs twice as much as our suction vibrator pick. Second, as with many Womanizer toys, the Next’s width makes it more difficult to position than slimmer toys like the Satisfyer Pro 2 Generation 3 or Dame Aer.
The Womanizer Enhance has a relatively flat, concave opening, which we found difficult to position to get a good seal. Like other Womanizer models, this toy is wider than much of the competition. It’s also more difficult to clean than other air-suction toys with removable nozzles.
The Beso Plus is our least favorite of the clitoral-suction/G-spot dual-stimulator vibrators we’ve tried. Our tester found the “mouth” of the toy to be uncomfortably firm and irritating.
The Biird Namii is somewhat large and cumbersome, and its vibrations were weaker than those of similar models we tested.
The Lovehoney Mon Ami Silicone Pleasure Air Suction Stimulator contains Womanizer tech, but like several Womanizer toys, it’s notably broad at the top. If you like how Womanizer vibrators fit and feel, this may well be your best budget option for suction and vibration.
The Romp Switch X requires two AAA batteries. It’s great as an inexpensive introduction to suction vibrators, but be prepared to replace the batteries after every five or so hours of run time.
The Womanizer OG has a larger suction mouth designed for G-spot stimulation, though it can also be used externally. Unfortunately, the suction felt somewhat weak to our testers. However, in customer reviews some buyers who say they have a large clitoris, prefer more gentle stimulation, or like toys with longer handles note that they’ve found this toy to be good for external stimulation.
The Womanizer Premium is significantly more expensive than the Classic; we’re not convinced that its added “autopilot” and “smart silence” features are worth an additional $60 or so.
Precision vibrators
The Cal Exotics Jasmine has a small, flexible, vibrating “tongue” set in a loop that is supposed to encircle the clitoris. Though this toy provided powerful, focused stimulation, we found such pinpoint stimulation to be more intense and easier to position with the Nu Sensuelle XLR8 Vibe Baelii.
JimmyJane’s Focus vibrator, which has the appearance of a small enema bulb, emitted a loud, high-pitched buzzing noise and an equally buzzy and too-intense sensation from the hard plastic tip, even when we covered it with one of the three included silicone sleeves.
The Romp Pop’s charging port and power button (on the toy’s flat base) are difficult to locate without a flashlight.
The Satisfyer Twirling Fun is relatively quiet, but the silicone-coated tip felt hard to our testers, and the vibrations were too buzzy for it to be satisfying as a pinpoint vibrator.
Before the Nu Sensuelle XLR8 Vibe Baelii and Lelo Dot, we recommended the Zumio S for precise stimulation. We still love this toy, but we have encountered some issues with battery longevity during long-term testing. Although Zumio covers the toy with a two-year warranty, all three units we’ve long-term tested have exhibited a decline in battery life toward the end of their warranty periods. Additionally, the Zumio S — which is designed to be stored in its charger — has a longer-than-usual charging period of 16 hours. After two years of occasional use, one Zumio S we tested barely retained a lasting charge if we charged it for less than the full 16 hours, and even on a full charge, it stopped running after 1 hour 45 minutes, well under the promised two-hour run time.
Like the Zumio S, the Zalo Bess has a narrow tip for precise stimulation. It comes with three attachment tips, which in our tests failed to produce significant functional differences. The Bess’s handle can technically serve as an insertable vibrator, as well, but we found that feature impractical. This toy’s primary drawback is its control panel. Whereas most vibrators offer multiple vibration levels that you can cycle through before the pattern settings begin, or a separate button for the pattern settings altogether, the Bess has three levels of continuous vibration strengths mixed in between five vibration patterns at random. If you are not interested in the patterns, cycling through this hodgepodge of settings to find your desired level of vibration can be confusing.
Vibrators under $75
In an earlier version of this guide, we named the CalExotics Silver Bullet as our budget pick. Subsequently we concluded that the pricier but cordless Satisfyer Purple Pleasure offers stronger vibrations, is made of better-quality materials, and is more aesthetically pleasing.
The Romp Wave, a leaf-shaped rechargeable silicone vibrator, is cute, but its quiet, buzzy vibrations were fairly weak in our tests.
While we appreciated the addition of a finger grip on the Wellness by Blush Palm Sense vibrator, it still transmitted a lot of vibration into the hand. Overall, this toy felt wide and bulky, and it was difficult to position comfortably. Additionally, the thick silicone tip seemed to dampen the vibrations.
Two long-term testers encountered issues with the Maude Vibe’s lithium-ion battery bricking within or just after the one-year warranty period, particularly if they didn’t keep the toy consistently charged.
The Satisfyer Dark Desire is quite similar in size and power to the Purple Pleasure, but we found its wider tip to be less convenient for positioning and its textured silicone to be more irritating than pleasurable. We loved the strong vibrations and easy-to-hold loop handle on the company’s White Temptation but found its loaf-like shape awkward to use, preferring the tapered silhouette of the Purple Pleasure.
Satisfyer’s Ultra Power Bullet line includes eight models. We tried the Ultra Power Bullet 6, which is similar in shape and size to a fountain pen. Unfortunately, we found the toy’s vibrations to be a bit buzzy in comparison with those of the rumbly and similarly shaped We-Vibe Tango. And this model’s handle vibrated to an unpleasant degree.
The Unbound Pep is a cute and affordable palm-sized vibrator, but unfortunately its thick silicone seemed to dampen the vibrations, causing them to feel less focused and powerful than those from similar models, including the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure and the Dame Pom.
The tiny but super-powerful We-Vibe Tango is a good value for a rechargeable, bullet-style toy that is small enough to fit in a pocket but capable of delivering the rumbly intensity of a much larger vibrator. Although we recommend this model as a starter vibrator, for some of our testers the hard plastic became slippery and difficult to hold when it came in contact with lubricant. This was not the case with the less expensive Purple Pleasure or Femme Funn Ultra Bullet.
The rest
The Womanizer Vibe is one of the quietest vibrators we’ve tried, but we found its vibrations weak and underwhelming. Compared with the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure, this Womanizer model was somewhat more difficult to position.
The Mantric Rechargeable Clitoral Vibrator looks like a sex toy issued by Starfleet: Its dark red asymmetrical oblong shape and flashing multicolor lights give it a retro, sci-fi aesthetic. It’s an attractive and decent vibrator but not as powerful as other small vibrators that usually cost about as much, such as the Femme Funn Ultra Bullet, and its vibrations could be felt strongly in the handle.
The tiny, egg-shaped Blush Novelties Aria Flutter Tongue is adorable, but we found the Evolved Tongue Tied to be a better overall choice among tongue-style vibrators. The small, flickering “tongue” on the Aria Flutter Tongue is inset in a mouth similar to that of a suction vibrator such that the tongue’s motion isn’t hindered by excess pressure, but overall we found this toy’s size and speed more irritating than pleasurable.
Dame’s original Eva vibrator was appealing in concept as a “hands-free, strap-free, non-intrusive couples’ vibrator.” Unfortunately, our testers found that it failed to stay in place well: “The only issue with the thing is its strapless design, which means that during PIV penis-in-vagina intercourse the thing just falls right off unless you’re flat on your back and trying your best not to move too much. Too much focusing on keeping the toy in place takes attention away from the act itself.” Others found it too weak to be satisfying.
We found the second-generation Dame Eva an improvement on the original, as it was smaller, easier to position, and more powerful. But it still had the same issues with being “buzzy” and slipping around during partner play.
The Dame Kip is a perfectly effective and elegant lipstick-style vibrator, but it is usually more expensive than the equally powerful Satisfyer Purple Pleasure.
The Evolved Tongue Tied is our favorite of the “tongue” vibrators we’ve tested. Although the results were not as pinpointed as those from the Lelo Dot, we did find that this vibrator’s flickering tongue (measuring about 1 inch long and 0.25 inch wide at the tip) offered powerful, focused sensations. There can be a bit of a learning curve with optimal positioning for using this toy, as applying too much pressure may cause the tongue’s motion to stall.
The vibrations of the Je Joue Mimi felt jerky and choppy at the lower speeds and caused the motor to make wheezing noises. This toy works best if you use it at its maximum setting, provided that the maximum setting is not too strong or weak for your personal tastes.
Lelo’s Siri 2 is a fine toy, but it’s a bit expensive compared with the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure, which is more streamlined and less gimmicky. We also tested the hard-plastic Lelo Nea 2, which was plenty powerful for its tiny size but did not compare to the We-Vibe Tango and its ultra-intense vibrations. Lelo’s Nea 3 has superseded the Nea 2; we haven’t tested it.
The bejeweled pastel Pillow Talk Sassy is affordably priced and offers powerful vibrations that can work for either clitoral or G-spot stimulation. Although our testers liked the sleek shape and size of this model, in our tests it generally worked better as a G-spot toy than as an external vibrator. The Sassy’s sibling, the Pillow Talk Flirty bullet, is designed specifically for clitoral stimulation, but we found that its vibrations were weaker than those of our budget pick.
The Tenga Iroha Temari is an exceptionally cool-looking vibrator inspired by traditional Japanese textile designs, with a unique swiveling head, a base designed to reduce the transmission of vibrations to the hand, and a convenient fitted cover that keeps the vibrator discreet and dust-free when not in use. Although this vibrator offers powerful vibrations for its small size, our testers found it to be a bit noisy compared with other models and tricky to clean around the edges of the swiveling head.
