National Masturbation Month: The history of the vibrator

From iconic wand vibrators (Magic Wand, IYKYK) to oral sex simulators, there’s a nearly endless supply of rumbly, titillating, adult toys to try. We’ve scoured the internet’s best sex toy shops for clit-sucking vibrators, rabbit vibrators, anal toys, whisper-quiet sex-tech for your browsing pleasure (and pleasure pleasure). Whether you want to switch up your masturbation routine, incorporate toys into partnered sex, or just try something new, there’s something here for you, and we want to help you find it.

We’ve rounded up the best sex toys for couples, including remote control vibrators vibrator, anal toys, travel-friendly toys, and more toys that will make your next encounter extra-thrilling. Whether you use these sex toys for masturbation or partnered sex, the important thing is that you feel good and safe. “So much about women’s pleasure has to do with the context of what’s going on,” says Dr. Torrisi. “It’s important for women to feel safe with their partners and to reliably predict that a sexual encounter will be fun and pleasurable.” This genre of sex toy will always be GOATed to me, because the realistic design elements make them feel extra kinky and fun, especially if you’re bringing them into partner play (talk about a soft-launch threesome).

Nothing says, “I’m replacing your dick with this vibrator” or “I need a penis over your vulva to be happy” like bringing home a vibrator that is shaped like a larger-than-life penis. When using Puff with a water-based lubricant like Unbound’s Jelly , apply a small amount to the outer ring. Puff is optimized for use on the clitoris but can be applied anywhere externally on the body where you’re able to achieve an adequate seal.Puff can be easily cleaned with warm water and soap.Clean before and after use. Some people prefer to use cock rings around their shaft only, which might be more comfortable, especially if you’re on the girthier side.

There’s also a bunch of additional accessories and attachments you can invest in to personalize the experience to your specifications. Nothing screams “hands-free” like Dame Products’ sophisticate Eva II. The toy’s flexi-wings will cling securely to your labia, giving you a bit (okay, much more than a bit) of buzz during your next penetrative romp.

There can be all sorts of loaded feelings about a toy that has been used before, especially with other partners. Hot Octopuss is known for making toys with mega-strong motors, and this bullet vibrator is no different. It’s also got a unique shape that allows you to focus its intensity into a small, pointed tip, or spread it out more along its broader side.

These beginner-friendly sex toys are generally meant for clitoral stimulation, though some are meant for internal use, while others are meant for penises. Bring them on your next vacation for when you’re feeling adventurous in a place where no one knows you or keep things low-key by using them next time you’ve got a date night at home. When using your hands to masturbate, most people find using one or two fingers at a time to be the easiest starting place.
