National Masturbation Month: The history of the vibrator
Customers appreciate the massager’s noise level, describing it as super quiet with rumbly and buzzy sensations, and one customer mentions its deep vibrations. One important thing to keep in mind is how much penetration itself is enjoyable for your partner. Part of what makes the Tenuto Mini appealing is that it can provide vibration during penetration, but if that’s something that’s already difficult for your partner, then a more versatile vibrator might be better for them. We tasked our Good Housekeeping Institute panel, consisting of more than 130 women of all ages, to test a range of the best rabbit vibrators currently available.
This discreet device offers 10 intensity levels and three Autopilot modes, featuring preset vibration sequences that deliver varied sensations. The Womanizer Enhance Pleasure Air Clitoral Vibrator is a powerful and innovative dual-stimulation toy that combines Womanizer’s signature Pleasure Air Technology with We-Vibe’s deep, rumbly vibrations. Designed for fully customisable stimulation, this revolutionary toy boasts a 100 per cent orgasm rate in user testing, making it one of the most powerful and effective pleasure devices available. When it comes to trendy, luxurious and fun-looking bullet vibrators, Tanner recommends the MIA 2.
With the speed and vibration options across the two motors, SnailVibe has 600 possible combinations, according to its site. The Strawberry was unimpressive—the actual shape of it made it lackluster to use, and it’s not something I would purchase again, especially with the $79 price tag. Ultimately, I would say yes to the Cherry, and no to the Strawberry, if I was looking to snag something from Emojibator’s toy lineup. If you’re determined to use the Cherry in the bath , the rating and several user reviews on Emojibator’s site indicate that you should have a nice time—my testing was skewed due to my initial struggle to find the charging port. As the name implies, Emojibators are vibrators that look just like Emojis. The product selection is quite small and the bestsellers frequently sell out, so if any grab your eye, grab them quickly.
The best vibrators (and best sex toys in general) are not only powerful, but also easy and practical to use, with features like quiet motors, travel locks and extensive run times. We consulted experts for their advice on what to look out for when you’re shopping for one, and below have curated 10 of the best vibrators for just about every budget—ranging from accessibly priced options to high-end sex toys. We’ve also shared expert tips on how to properly clean and maintain your vibrator to get the most (and safest) use out of it. “If you want to enjoy more intense and overwhelming sensations (both internally and externally), it doesn’t get better than the Womanizer Duo 2 viberators,” Dr. O’Reilly tells SELF. It combines the air-pulse technology of a clitoral suction vibrator with a curved arm that has 14 vibration settings and slips inside. A toy that targets your clit and your G-spot at the same time, she says (sort of like a rabbit vibe, but better).
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, 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.
Plus, the soft silicone coating and ergonomic design meant it was comfortable to wield, with no hand cramp reported. The sloped tip scored extra points with our panel for its ability to stimulate the G-spot, while the bunny ears are perfectly positioned to target the clitoris. The super-soft silicone also feels great against the skin, making it a pleasure to use and to hold.
