Industrial Vibrators

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.

In 200 AD, doctors prescribed female genital massage as a form of treatment for hysteria (ugh, don’t get me started). But in what was one of the least surprising moves of all time, they complained that the method was “too labor intensive” and “messy” and put an end to it. The hand crank—the earliest constructed sex toy—came along in 1890, and it was followed by a number of similar inventions, like 1904’s gas-powered “Pneumatic Detwiller” and 1920’s porn-inspired “Polar Cub Electric.”

Our Good Housekeeping Institute testing panel, made up of over 130 women of all ages and sex toy experience levels, tested a range of vibrators to find the ones worth investing in. Safe-sex practices are important either with a partner or on your own. Ensuring your toys are clean keeps infections at bay and can improve the life-span of your bedroom buddy. Remote control options come with a separate device that offers short-range control or hands-free fun. Meanwhile app-controlled vibrators are ideal for long-distance sessions.

The narrow tip also makes this vibrator a great toy for partner play, as it leaves plenty of room for other types of simultaneous stimulation. There’s a mode to simulate licking, if an oral sex vibe is what you’re seeking. There are also several speeds and settings so you can zero in on the sensations you desire in the moment. “The Magic Wand is a classic in the world of vibrators, and for good reason, too,” says Mariah Freya, founder of the sexual wellness platform Beducated. There’s a vibrator for every sexual preference, proclivity, and situation — some even simulate oral sex. And using one doesn’t just feel good, it’s actually good for your health.

An extra wide mouth on the LELO Sila means this suction toy can travel to so many erogenous zones and caters to all clitoral sizes. Perfect for foreplay or solo play, it easily suctions over the entire clitoris and can even be used on your nipples. Whether you’re a jet setter, searching for the perfect after-dark honeymoon accessory or just don’t want something that screams “sex toy,” this shell-shaped toy is bound to be your new BFF.

This incredibly sophisticated device promised to take me on a journey of discovery , targeting not just one or two, but three erogenous zones (!) simultaneously. With its innovative SenSonic and DeepSonic technologies, I was eager to see if it could live up to the hype and deliver the mind-blowing orgasms it claimed. When pleasure product companies started making dildos and other toys shaped like tentacles, unicorn horns, candy canes, and even chess pieces, I was tickled.

We spoke to sex experts and sex educators to answer the biggest questions about these sex toys and break down the very best panty vibes for your (uniquely private) pleasure. For far too long, sex toys missed the mark, especially when it came to people with vulvas. Studies have repeatedly shown that people with vulvas need clitoral stimulation to orgasm, but it wasn’t until 2014 that the first clitoral suction toy hit the market. These days many suction toys (also called clit suckers) have been designed by the people using them.

It’s not as powerful as any of the other vibrators, although bullets rarely are. Both arms vibrate to four speeds and six patterns, although the outer arm has decidedly more oomph that the inner arm. Still, this little toy buzzes against your G-spot, your clitoris vibrators, and your partner’s penis, giving them a pleasurable sensation as they thrust. And those vibrations are the deep, rumbly kind instead of the topical buzzing that a lot of vibrators have, which is great for penetrative use. If you like the idea of a thrusting G-spot vibrator but want to get in on some of that clitoral action, too, then this is the sex toy for you. It features a self-thrusting head that engages the G-spot, while a swirling clitoral vibrator delivers intense pleasure to the clit.

At $119, the toy is also on the lower end of the price range for remote sex toys. You can use it with a variety of cam platforms, including Chaturbate, Live Jasmin, MyFreeCams, BongaCams. This adaptability is unusual in any sex toy, but is especially useful in a love egg, which works as both a G-spot vibrator and a panty vibrator depending on your preference.

While I came really hard using the Motobunny, I have to admit that I felt equal parts silly and like the queen of the world masturbating by sitting on a saddle next to my bed. People with penises may want to consider this stroker mount for some hands-free action. Slip your favorite Fleshlight into the slot, get on top, and go to town. It may seem pricey, especially given that you must buy a Fleshlight separately, but it holds well up to thrusting and is a much classier solution than jamming your Fleshlight between your mattress and your box spring. For new sexplorers, try starting on the lowest intensity setting and increasing as desired. Play around with Puff’s position, orientation, pressure, and intensity to find a spot that works for you!
