Best vibrators 2023: good, great, and orgasmic

We get that it can be overwhelming to sift through the retailer’s thousands of products, so allow us to do the shopping for you. “This finger vibrator has a unique shape (similar to fingers) that is easy to hold and maneuver, and surrounds the clitoris with two prongs of vibrational power. Pulsing or continuous vibes help enhance the sensation and allow you or a partner to pinch, tease, and robustly massage the clitoris into bliss,” says Balestrieri.

You can use a palm vibrator to stimulate the clitoris or vulva, wrap it around the shaft of a penis, hold it against the nipples, cup the testicles with it, or do pretty much anything else that comes to mind. As long as the vibrator stays on the outside of your body (not inside the vagina or anus), you’re golden. We-Vibe’s flagship product is meant to be “worn” during intercourse to provide some extra stimulation for both partners , though it can level up masturbation or non-penetrative types of sex, too. This latest version is different from previous iterations in that its internal portion is shaped like an “O,” which helps the toy stay in place better during sex.

For those who enjoy versatility, this vibrator features one non-vibrating side and one vibrating side — both great for vaginal and anal pleasure. It looks luxurious, and you can play with three vibration patterns and three power levels. “Pleasure and orgasm are really good for you because they release hormones that reduce stress and anxiety,” says Zar. For most women, the clitoris is the gateway to orgasm — and this toy is made specifically for that pleasure part.

So while you may not be tossing it in your purse or boldly striding past airport security with it in your cosmetics bag, you can rest assured that it’ll keep your profile low while in use. The Lelo Dot also features a ring and low, quiet vibrations, but has a shape unlike the shapes of other vibrators. The tapered body of the vibrator allows users to explore and then maximize the specific pleasure points of their erogenous zones both externally (don’t forget about sexy, sensitive areas such as the nipples!) and internally. It stays true to its promise of a vacillating between a “teasing murmur” and a “satisfying pulse,” never straying into a loud, distracting buzz. This “beautiful looking product” provides double the pleasure with a suction head to mimic oral sex and an insertable love egg to target the G-spot. Testers loved the feel of the soft silicone against their skin and said it was a cinch to use thanks to easy-to-follow instructions.

A combo of vibration and “tongue” licking (lube up for a realistic glide) targets your clit for maximum orgasming power, and you can also hold it against a male partner’s penis during a blowjob to really turn up the heat. You can also feel comfortable knowing your privacy is top of mind — it features Smart Silence Technology, meaning your toy only turns on when it touches your skin. In the sonic sphere, theConnaisseur MJ exhibits many classic spruce-and-mahogany characteristics.

In addition to vibrating, clit suckers use air-suction technology to mimic the sensation of oral sex. Womanizer is a go-to brand in the sucker space—and of all the brand’s models, the waterproof Premium 2 is the best, Marla Renee Stewart vibrator, a certified sex educator and founder of Velvet Lips Sex Education, tells SELF. Just five inches long, this budget-friendly vibe packs the intensity of a wand in the petite size of a bullet.

Penetration rarely makes an appearance during my masturbation sessions, as I often experience dyspareunia (or pain during penetration). However, I was eventually able to give the dildo side of the toy a try when my long-distance partner was in town. After a thorough preplay session, my partner lubed up the Vibrato and slowly slid it inside me. While there’s tons of toys on the market — ones that cater to penetration, to high tech bells and whistles or ones that are just unique and a little surprising —  sometimes you want to find a toy that’s really good at one thing. Try a few of these out and you’ll level-up your cliteracy in no time. Svakom’s Vibrating Love Egg has a fun remote-control feature, so you can hand control to your partner, while those on the hunt for something a little different should consider Lovehoney’s knicker vibrator.
