The Womanizer Was So Good I Passed Out the First Time I Tried It

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.

Luckily, there are tons of rechargeable options that are just as powerful and can stay juiced up for hours at a time. Neither of the above wand vibrators are fully waterproof, so if you’re looking for that particular feature, try the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman. You might be a vibrator connoisseur with a toy box full of goodies already or a beginner browsing your first sex toys, but all are welcome here. Not all vibes are all things to all people—but the We-Vibe Sync comes close. It can be a solo or couples vibe, provide clitoral and g-spot stimulation , and can be small enough to used hands-free. The artfully designed Temari Mizu emits vibrations from the top of the orb for intense external pleasure.

The design is sleek vibrator, but the head doesn’t protrude like on other toys—it’s sunken—and will comfortably hover over any size clitoris. At under £15, this nifty toy gives pricier models a run for their money. It’s lightweight, compact and easy to operate with one conveniently placed button to switch between the speeds. Our panel said the material felt soft against their skin and they raved about the ribbed surface for enhanced stimulation – one tester reported “the most intense orgasms” when using it externally.

This makes the Lovense Lush 3 a great toy for anyone with a long distance partner, allowing you to hand over the reins. It even comes with an ‘intelligent mode’, so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about which buttons to press. We asked our Good Housekeeping Institute testing panel, made up of over 130 women of all ages, to put a range of vibrators through their paces. It’s very important to always clean your vibrator, as bacteria left on the toy can cause infections such as urinary tract infections.

Orgasms release a jumble of hormones that cause positive feelings — oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins. But, as we know, depression isn’t a mood — it’s a mental health illness that is more pervasive than grumpiness. Chronic vaginal dryness is uncomfortable AF, and it’s not something that just affects people going through menopause. The Good Housekeeping Institute has been testing products for over 100 years, so we know what we’re looking for when it comes to best in class. Before my Motorbunny arrived, my contact at the company warned me that this thing was strong. I assured them that I had already seen their machine in action and was down to try it.

Adjust the rotation of the head, the vibration intensity, and even let your partner take the reins from miles away. Chicago Vibrator Products was established in 1956 as a family business. It has been our mission to be your reliable experts in applied vibration for the flow or compaction of materials.

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, 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.

Masturbation is positively linked to higher rates of self-esteem and sexual satisfaction, which are two big components of self-confidence. So, you could make the leap and say that using a vibrator can improve your self-confidence. Vaginal atrophy is “thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls that may occur when your body has less estrogen” according to the Mayo Clinic’s definition. It often happens when you begin menopause, but can also happen to people with vaginas who are on a testosterone therapy regiment. Whether your headaches are caused by your kids, a stressful job, or both, you’re probably in the market for something that can help relieve that annoying pain. You’re probably familiar with the “not tonight dear, I have a headache” trope, but is it actually backwards?

“It is very soft and I love how it’s curved to fit,” one reviewer on the Dame website wrote. “This is my first vibrator so I would say it is beginner-friendly and works well.” Last but not least, Love Triangle was the smallest and by far most discreet of the various Satisfyer toys I tried out. Whisper quiet, it’s another air pulsing, pressure wave toy that stimulates your clitoris (or nipples, follow your heart!) along with a subtle vibration function. It’s again not necessarily the tiniest and most intuitive to place for hands-free play but is easily the MVP for travel — coming with a sweet little cap to store it cleanly and quietly on-the-go.

It’s a perfect match for people who want to give their partner some control—maybe even from down the hall—for your best sex yet. While we have you, don’t forget to read up on how to clean sex toys so you don’t end up booking it to the doctor’s office because of STI transmission, yeast infections, UTIs, and bacterial vaginosis. 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 Lelo’s classic hard-plastic Nea 2, which is plenty powerful for its tiny size but does not compare to the We-Vibe Tango and its ultra-intense vibrations. The toy has an IPX7 waterproof rating (meaning it can withstand being submerged in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes) and is made from molded silicone and plastic, so it’s relatively easy to clean.
