Battery life: 1 hour
Why you’ll like it: That’s right, folks: Playboy finally started making sex toys (and they rock). The legacy brand of all things horny has been collaborating with the sex toy genies over at Lovers to come up with an entire smorgasbord of glass dildos and powerful vibrators, including this high-tech spinning (yes, spinning) anal vibrator. The plug is another favorite of Knapp, who says that the toy might be a little too girthy for someone who is new to anal, but that once you lube it up, it slips in with ease. “The toy has powerful, rumbly vibrations that feel incredible,” she says. “If you’re using it on a partner with a prostate, its ability to rotate and vibrate at the same time makes for an epic P-spot-stimulation experience, too.”
The Best Panty Vibrator: Fifty Shades of Grey Relentless Vibrations Remote Panty Vibrator
Material: Silicone
Battery life: Up to 45 minutes
Why you’ll like it: That’s right, folks. The “Fifty Shades of Grey” films have spawned a sex toy line, and one that is (surprisingly) deserving of its hornier-than-thou namesake thanks to its curation of high-rated hand cuffs, ball gags, and rumbly rabbit vibrators—the latter of which is a favorite of Knapp, who says that the Greedy Girl G-spot Vibrator is “a powerful treat for anyone who wants deep, penetrating G-spot stimulation and a flat base dildo that is fun to ride and grind on.” Unsurprisingly, the brand’s panty liner vibrator is just as much of a hit with Lovehoney reviewers who love the remote-controlled toy for both solo and partnered play. As one stan writes, “Great toy to have fun with at the bar or in the car or restaurant, I used it on my gf for a weekend away.” The vibe is also waterproof, rechargeable, and designed with an ergonomic saddle shape that fits snugly into your underwear. Cop it while it’s on sale for the price of three bougie martinis.
The Best Finger Vibrator: Dame Fin
Material: Silicone
Battery life: About 90 minutes
Why you’ll like it: Finger vibrators are ideal for when you want it to feel more like you’re touching your partner (or yourself) than that a toy is doing it, because they incorporate vibration into every touch. (They’re also easier to hold onto for people who have grip strength issues.) This one has pleasantly rumbly vibrations and its finger strap is removable, so you can use it when you want it and stash it away when you don’t.
The Best Discreet Vibrator: NSBAN Mini Bullet Vibrator
Material: Silicone
Battery life: 45 minutes
Why you’ll like it: If you’re concerned about discretion for any reason—maybe you’re traveling, or you just want a more incognito sex toy for your nightstand—this high-rated vibrator from Amazon is a clutch choice. For one, it kind of just looks like a USB key. It also only costs around $10, which makes it a pretty safe investment for anyone looking to try sex toys for the first time. Above all, the vibrator is impressively compact at under five inches in height, and packs more flexibility than your average bullet or lipstick vibrator thanks to its bendy silicone material, making it even more fun to hump and grind on for clitoral stimulation, nipple play, or even a bit of rubbing around your partner’s shaft. After all, it’s not safe for anal penetration (no flared base) but it is equipped with a trusty loop-shaped handle, which allows for you to roll around to your horny heart’s content without losing grip of the toy.
The Best Riding and Grinding Vibrator: Cute Little Fuckers Starsi
Material: Silicone
Battery life: Not listed
Why you’ll like it: Cute Little Fuckers (CLF) is a queer-owned sex toy company, and one of the most inclusive brands out there when it comes to making vibrators for every gender and body type. Consider Starsi, the flexible starfish-like vibrator that has become a bestseller on the site for its ability to be humped, grinded-upon, and easily nestled in the owner’s hand for ergonomic use over all kinds of erogenous zones. As the CLF team explains, “Starsi’s arched back provides wide, smooth sensations. If you prefer pinpoint sensation, each tentacle tip vibrates at a unique intensity, allowing you to discover the perfect vibration for your body.” This sexy starfish is equipped with five vibration speeds and five patterns, and it is, fittingly, waterproof. In fact, you can even remove the electronic portion of the toy and boil it for a deep clean.
The Best Mini Wand Vibrator: Magic Wand Micro
Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
Battery life: 3 hours
Why you’ll like it: Full-size wand vibrators can be tough to fit between bodies during sex, so if that’s what you’re after—but you still want a lot of power—consider a mini wand vibe. They can scoot into smaller spaces and help you feel closer together when using a vibe, plus they’re easier to hold. This vibe is also a favorite of Knapp’s. “It’s so impossibly tiny, yet so mind-blowingly powerful.” she says. “It really made me rethink the importance of size when it comes to wand vibrators, especially if what you’re after is not necessarily a long vibe, but a powerful one.” The 4.5-inch long vibrator packs strong, rumbly vibrations and its three speeds and four patterns are easy to explore via the device’s simple two-button design.
The Best Vibrating Dildo: PlusOne Luxe Ripple Multi-Vibe
Material: Silicone
Battery Life: Not listed
Why you’ll like it: Dildos and vibrators go together like peanut butter and jelly—but with this toy, you get both in one. There are multiple motors inside its shaft, so it serves up a decent amount of power. And the Luxe Ripple’s flared base makes it anal-safe and harness-compatible, for even more versatility. (There’s even a suction cup on the base so you can use it hands-free.) Owners liked how simple it was to use, particularly since it can do so much. “This product from plusOne really surprised me in a positive way,” one reviewer writes. “It’s intuitively crafted and the multiple vibration patterns it offers [are] sure to suit just about anyone’s preferences!”
The Best Bendable Vibrator: Unbound Bender
Material: Silicone
Battery Life: 2 hours
Why you’ll like it: Sometimes an otherwise-great vibrator is juuuuust a little off when it comes to hitting the exact spot that’ll send you to the moon, which is where the Unbound Bender steps in. As the name suggests, you flex it to get that just-right angle or straighten it out completely, depending on what you’re in the mood for. Beyond that, it’s a solid and simple vibe. “It’s the first internal vibrator I’ve ever used and I could not have asked for a better first experience,” one reviewer on the Unbound website said.
The Most Versatile External Vibrator: Dame Pom
Material: Silicone
Battery Life: 60 to 90 minutes
Why you’ll like it: Many vibrators are made with a specific body part in mind, but the Pom is down to work anywhere you want it to: clit, nipples, frenulum, perineum, balls, and anywhere else you can think of. The almost kidney-like shape feels really natural when cupped in the palm of your hand in a way that the vibrations start to feel like an extension of your touch. Users love that flexibility. “This is a powerhouse,” one reviewer on the Dame website wrote. “Great to use alone and great to use with a partner. I couldn’t be happier.”
The Best Vibrating Cock Ring: We-Vibe Pivot
Material: Silicone
Battery Life: 2 hours
Why you’ll like it: Cock rings squeeze around the base of the penis, making it easier to achieve and maintain a strong erection. And that’s just before the party starts. The addition of vibration makes everything more pleasurable for the wearer and a partner, since those vibrations can also rub up against a partner’s clit or perineum during penetrative sex. We-Vibe’s Pivot is a top-of-the-line vibrating cock ring, with super-smooth silicone and easy-to-control vibrations that you can ramp up to some serious strength. “The motor on this thing is incredible,” one Babeland reviewer wriotes. “Easily surpassed every other motor on a cock ring available.”
The Best Clitoral Suction Vibrator: The Satisfyer Pro 2
Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
