National Masturbation Month: The history of the vibrator

And that’s a wonderful thing, because everyone deserves the chance to explore their body in as many ways as they see fit. “But really, this tiny body-safe ABS plastic clitoral vibe packs an, [in my opinion], unmatched punch when it comes to power, and the angled tip delivers pinpoint vibration right where you want it.” For someone who prefers more traditional vibrations over suction, the Pro 2 delivers. Its shape is perfect for maneuvering and finding the perfect spot, which I struggled with trying more “blobby” suckers like LELO’s Sona 2. Not only did I have more fun with the Pro 2, but it’s nearly half the cost of the Sona 2 — and the second-cheapest vibe on this list — at $49.95. For me, sex toys are never embarrassing, so I don’t have such a high interest in aesthetics — I want a vibrator that’s going to get the job done.

If you’re intrigued by the idea of suction vibrators but don’t want to go over budget, there’s the Satisfyer Pro 2. Indigo Stray Conger, LMFT, a certified sex therapist viberator, previously recommended this popular model to SELF for its lower price, waterproof design, and intense settings. The long handle and larger buttons make it easy to use, especially for beginners.

We’re all for lending your hand a hand, so let’s explore the realm of strokers and masturbators. This rabbit vibrator thrusts and vibrates, offering clit and G-spot stimulation simultaneously. While the product description and reviews don’t say whether it’s quiet, it is waterproof so you can muffle out any sounds with running water…and moans.

The vibe pattern between the shaft and the rabbit “ears” is just immense,” wrote one reviewer on the Lelo site. To experience a more realistic, tongue-mimicking experience, users highly recommend using it with a decent amount of lube or other body-safe gel. “For 20 years of my life I have never been able to achieve full orgasm … this toy has gotten me there every single time I use it,” a pleased customer wrote. Promising a “100 per cent orgasm rate”, our sex writer, Ebony Leigh, put the claim to the test and gave it her tick of approval in her full review.

Plus, it can be controlled by buttons on the device or an app-connected smartphone so your partner can pleasure you even from afar. Our testers couldn’t believe how powerful this palm-sized vibrator was, even on the lower speed settings. The vibrations were a bit too intense for some, but if you’re in the market for a small but mighty bullet vibrator, this is a hot contender. Made from soft silicone with a squidgy gel tip, all testers said it was comfortable and easy to use and were impressed with the wide range of settings to explore. Bullet and wand vibrators do the same thing — external stimulation on parts of your body, such as the clitoris. While “bullet” often describes small, bullet-shaped vibrators, Amrich uses that label more broadly to categorize vibrators that focus on clitoral stimulation and aren’t specifically designed to be inserted into the body.

There are plenty of suction vibrators out there, including popular picks like the Satisfyer Pro 2 that are cheaper than the $129 Poet. This versatility will require a bit more patience in figuring out how to make this vibe work for you, but that’s par for the course with many a suction toy. This new model lets you take the ecstasy of the OG Hitachi anywhere while delivering the same legendary power of its predecessor. It’s got four different vibration speeds for its firm silicone head, a four-speed selector switch that lets you control its intensity, and a light display so you can see what level you’re on.

The We-Connect app lets couples control the product even when they’re miles apart, bringing a new charge to long-distance relationships. In fact, while most sex toys are great for solo play, they can also be a fun part of partnered sex if you want them to be. “It’s also a way to signal more of what you like, which is a thrilling way to grow the relationship.” In particular, those who can’t reach orgasm through penetrative sex, or people who simply want to explore new avenues of masturbation.

Just be sure that the toy’s buttons are well-labeled and intuitively placed—there’s nothing worse than trying to up the ante right before orgasm , only to turn the entire vibe off accidentally. It can be hard to feel connected sometimes even when you live in the same city, but put a bunch of miles between the two of you and it can feel downright sucky. Sex toys have evolved to be interactive so video chatting and sexting aren’t the only tools to help you keep things steamy when you’re apart. Fans of the Lelo Nea 2 tend to be amazed that such a tiny little vibrator can pack such a strong and versatile punch. “It’s super petite and gives you the option to use solo, or with a partner — truly the best of both worlds,” says Reeves. And despite the intensity of the vibrations, the Nea 2 is quiet, adding to its already impressive discretion factor.

Just note that the Soraya Wave isn’t as quiet or discreet as the other rabbits in this round-up, and may not be one for beginners due to lack of detailed instructions. They were then asked to rate each toy on its ease of use, design and performance, providing feedback on what they liked, what aspects could be improved and how it made them feel.

Like all our ball vibrators, this pneumatic vibrator is ideal for knocking down material blockages and is built for the toughest conditions.
