If your approach is more varied and sensitive

19 Best Vibrators of 2025 for Next-Level Pleasure

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 small, sleek Satisfyer Purple Pleasure vibrator is an excellent value at a typical price of $40 (a similar model from a different manufacturer that we’ve tested retails for $90), yet it makes no sacrifices in quality. With its aesthetically pleasing streamlined shape, waterproof silicone body, and USB rechargeable battery, this toy looks and feels like a more expensive “luxury” vibrator.

It’s USB-rechargeable (because disposable batteries are trash, literally) and delivers strong, satisfying vibrations with multiple settings. “This one is affordable, compact, and offers three speeds and seven different vibration patterns so you can explore and learn how your body reacts to vibrations. It’s waterproof, battery-powered, and comes with replacement batteries,” says O’Reilly.

If you plan to travel with your vibrator, look for a sex toy with a locking system and a carry case to avoid any embarrassing buzzing suitcase moments. Plastic is the firmest option, while silicone has a more velvety feel.

It’s made from a flexible, body-safe silicone, he adds, so it should stretch to fit over the head of most vibrators. While wand vibrators are notoriously loud, you can fly under the radar while using the Cassia’s “gentle touch mode,” which is designed to be extra quiet and subtle. Plus, it has a curved handle that makes it easy to access your G-spot, as Conger points out.

The Nora gives you the ability to independently control both the arm and the head, which rotates to better hit your G-spot. While the manufacturers boast about the low sound levels, several customer reviews disagree, finding the Melt loud. This can be fun, too, but this comes down to your personal preference. From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.

Heavy-handed strumming confirms that the Gold Label 814e is capable of being very loud. It also highlights a pronounced midrange that, for all the guitar’s string-to-string balance, can be a bully if you have a heavy touch. If your approach is more varied and sensitive, though, the extra volume becomes headroom and the midrange becomes a chrome shine set against a dusty desert patina. A light touch can still generate detailed, complex overtone pictures, while the high headroom accommodates and inspires high-contrast high-intensity counter phrasings. Say the word “vibrator,” and visions of a cylindrical, buzzing thing will undoubtedly come to mind. And while this dildo-like toy is what a lot of people are referring to when they talk about a vibrators vibrator, phallic objects really only comprise one branch of the larger vibrator tree in the diverse and beautiful garden of sex toys.

Understand that using sex toys is part of having a healthy and satisfying sex life, and many people use them regularly so there’s no need to feel like you’re abnormal for wanting to try them for yourself. If you’re unsure whether your toy is waterproof, the first thing you should do is check the packaging and instruction manual as this is a key selling feature of sex toys and will definitely be made clear if it is. If it doesn’t say it’s waterproof, err on the side of caution and assume it’s not. I promise—this is the last Womanizer product I’ll mention, but there’s a good reason it’s here.

The stroker-style ones may require an erection for you to penetrate them—but aside from that, a lot of vibes feel great regardless of how your boner may ebb and flow. While this is commonly seen as a toy for vulvas, it can be—and is—enjoyed by many people of all genders and anatomies. Its vibrations are so satisfyingly deep that they feel good on pretty much any erogenous zone, from clits to dicks to taints to nipples. It’d make a great gift for a partner, too, since you’ll both be able to enjoy it, both separately and together. And unlike any other toy on this list, if the Magic Wand Rechargeable dies on you mid-session, you can just plug it in and keep on going, because it’s wired to be useable while charging. They all have a mouth, and inside that mouth is a (typically) silicone membrane that an internal motor moves in and out.

I decided to try Eva out solo before giving it a go with someone else. This proved to be the smart choice, since I had quite a bit of trouble figuring out how to actually make it stick. Instead of reading the instructions before my first attempt (like a regular person), I just went for it. After five minutes of frustration in which I could not get Eva to stay in place, I stubbornly turned to the manual and realized my error. I’d been trying to place the head of the pod below my clitoris when it was actually supposed to go directly on top of it.
