The 47 Best Vibrators, According to Sex Experts

Here’s a suction toy that sexologist Malika O’Neill, founder and CEO of The Pleasure Collective LLC, suggests for long-lasting orgasms. The design of this toy in particular fits a wide range of vulvas, thanks to the deep and long mouth, she says.

Lovehoney sex expert and sex educator Ashley Cobb recommends this cute suction vibrator. Cobb likes it in particular for its petite, portable size, making it discreet enough to slip into a purse, as well as its two different-size pleasure heads, which allow for pinpointed sensation. “It has six intensity speeds, so you can find the head that works the best for your vulva, place it there, turn it on, and it does this pulsating vibration over your clitoris,” says Cobb, adding that it works nicely for nipple play too. “The whole idea of the Liberty is that it's compact, you can just throw it in your bag, and it's discreet,” Lovehoney sex expert Dr. Megan Fleming tells SELF.

The bestselling Amazon vibrator uses air suction for waves of pleasure designed to mimic oral sex. It has 11 intensities and it's waterproof with a magnetic charge connection (no USB charger needed), just in case you want to take it in the bath or shower.

With their broad heads and long handles, wand vibrators can be used in a variety of different positions and offer pleasure to all bodies. This souped-up cordless version of the classic Hitachi Magic Wand came recommended by both Odom and Danielle Bezalel, MPH, host of the podcast Sex Ed With DB. When it comes to clitoral vibrators, they don’t get much more powerful than this (it’s way too big for insertion, so don’t be turned off by its large size). Odom considers this toy essential, and Bezalel adds that this is the toy to try if you have trouble orgasming.

When it comes to wands, sex therapist Shamyra Howard, LCSW, likes Lovehoney’s Bodywand Aqua. This is a wand that “does not mind getting wet!” Waterproof, wireless, and whisper-quiet, the Bodywand Aqua is an excellent choice for bathtime or for travel.

Sexologist Sarah Melancon, PhD, sexuality and relationships expert for SexToyCollective.com previously told SELF that the Domi 2 has equally rumbly, powerful vibrations as the beloved Hitachi Magic Wand, but it has a softer silicone head which offers greater sensitivity. You can purchase additional attachments too, in case you don’t have enough room in your sex toy drawer for more vibes.

Sex experts love Dame—and for good reason. Each vibe is made with a powerful motor and premium body-safe silicone. The brand’s newest toy, Com, is an ergonomic take on the classic wand massager. It has a flexible neck so that you can rest your arm while still holding the vibe at the perfect angle. Its interesting shape also means that it works for many non-able-bodied folks, which is a huge win when it comes to closing the pleasure gap. It has five intensities and patterns for external stimulation, and is surprisingly quiet for its size.

Rebecca Blanton, a kink educator and sex blogger, likes this wand over other vibrating wand models because it’s got a very powerful, intense “thuddy” sensation. “The length of the handle is long enough to suit most bigger-bodied folks and wide enough to be comfortable to handle for people with arthritis,” Blanton explains. (She adds that the company Lovehoney works to be inclusive of all bodies, including bigger bodies and trans folks, in its modeling, making this a truly feel good purchase.)

Rabbit vibrators are the best of both worlds: A longer, tapered head for penetration, plus a (typically) rabbit-shaped component that can stimulate your clitoris simultaneously. This rabbit-style toy has two vibrator motors inside—one with a higher-pitched vibration for clitoral stimulation, and the other with a deeper, more rumbly vibration for G-spot stimulation—explains Odom. The curve and girth of the toy also means it’s perfect for G-spot play and for providing a sense of fullness inside you.

“If you’ve been wanting to have a blended orgasm, the Nova 2 should be your first stop,” says Emily Morse, doctor of human sexuality, sex educator, relationship expert, and host of the Sex With Emily podcast. Nova 2’s external stimulator curves inward and flexes so that you have consistent stimulation on your clitoris while using it while the internal stimulator adjusts to fit your body and hit your G-spot in just the right, well, spot.

For a slightly more high-tech version, Conger likes the Lioness because it syncs to an app that can map out your sensual experience, from temperature and muscle contractions to orgasms, all in a high-quality rabbit vibrator. “You can explore the intimate details of your erotic blueprint through seeing exactly how you respond physiologically to stimulation,” she says.

“What I like about rabbit vibrators is that they can give you a blended orgasm, thanks to both clitoris and G-spot stimulation,” Dr. Fleming tells SELF. “The Jessica Rabbit has three different speeds and plenty of patterns, plus it’s waterproof and battery-operated.” This one has a more accessible price point too. “I always recommend that whenever you're trying something new, maybe try first a lower-end version of the vibrator type because, if you discover that it's your favorite and your go-to, you can always like up level to a higher-end version.”

“For those who love G-spot and clitoral stimulation, the Sugarotic is an amazing toy,” Jenn Mason, founder of the woman-owned sex shop Wink Wink Boutique in Washington state, tells SELF. “It’s of the few toys that combines clitoral suction along with G-spot stimulation. The smaller suction arm gently taps on the clit while the internal arm vibrates away.” It has 10 vibration modes so you can find your own pleasure.

Adina Mahalli, M.S.W., relationship expert, and women’s health specialist at Maple Holistics, calls this rabbit-and-anal-bead combo the trifecta of pleasure. While she cautions that it might be too much for some pleasure seekers and beginners. If you know that you like G-spot stimulation combined with clitoral and anal stimulation, this is the toy for you. (Just be sure to use lube.)

Jessica Cline, a clinical sexologist and licensed therapist, suggests this toy for both G-spot pleasure and suction stimulation for the clit. It might look a bit weird at first, but it’s basically a rabbit vibrator, only instead of bunny ears to vibrate against your clitoris, there’s a Womanizer attached to it. Genius.

If you’re a newbie to vibrators and find the giant ones intimidating, certified sex coach, educator, and writer Gigi Engle recommends the Amour Dual G Wand. She says it’s great for anyone who knows they enjoy both external and internal stimulation, and she calls the wand “smooth, sleek, and objectively not horrifying.”

Monica Grover, DO, a double-board certified gynecologist at VSPOT, likes the Arc from Dame for exploring your vulva. “By moving it around and changing the speeds and sensations, you will really be giving yourself a crash course in pleasure,” she tells SELF. The Arc’s deep curvature makes it perfect for both external and internal play. Plus, it (and all other Dame toys) is made with medical-grade silicone so you never have to worry about safety.

Buzzy, intense vibrators might feel overstimulating for some folks, and that's where this rumbly egg-shaped vibrator comes in. “These deeper vibrations travel better through the toy, allowing for light clitoral stimulation as well, though there is no external motor,” Josefina Mora-Cheung, former assistant outreach, education, and retail manager at WinkWink Boutique, previously told SELF.

Here’s a wearable panty vibrator that can make a long- (or short) distance sex life a little more exciting. It has a magnet that clips on to the outside of your underwear to lock it in place, and it’s Couples Vibrators: controlled by Bluetooth or a remote control. “The Moxie can be really good to use as like a “warm-up” activity pre-sex when you’re in the bathroom getting ready or you’re wanting to get a little bit aroused even pre-foreplay,” says Mason. She also suggests wearing it if you want vibrations while performing oral sex on your partner, or even just making out. “Wearing it during partner play gives great hands-free stimulation. If you think creatively, there are a lot of different ways that you can play with it.”

An awesome toy for G-spotting that Odom recommends is the We-Vibe Rave. The pronounced angle and curvature mean you can maintain complete control of the toy, and the asymmetric shape can be twisted internally to increase your chances of squirting, she says.

This super versatile Lelo toy has a great g-spot curve and a firm body “to make the most of it,” says Carol Queen, PhD, staff sexologist at Good Vibrations. The shape of the head makes it great for both clitoris stimulation and internal play. This toy comes in four different colors: gray, rose, pink, and blue.

Like many G-spot vibrators, this one from Hot Octopuss has a flexible silicone head and a slight curve at the top. “There are a lot of different options for how vibrator motors feel, and the Kurve has different vibration settings: treble (buzzy), bass (rumbly), or both at the same time,” Mason tells SELF. “I think that's great for a beginner who doesn't know what kind of sensations they like, or for anybody who wants a vibrator that offers different kinds of sensations.” Like we don't always all like the same thing all the time. And so the hot octopus curve is really really good for offering some variety in how it stimulates.

Another peachy pick from Engle is the Bender. She likes its slim, minimalist, vaguely futuristic shape and says you can easily curve the vibrator to hit both your clitoris and your G-spot—or one or the other.

If you want something slightly more discreet than a wand vibrator, you can invest in a compact flexible vibrator that still allows you to apply targeted pressure wherever you need it and can easily be tucked away when it’s not in use. As Bezalel notes, these are often quieter than a rumbling wand option. She recommends the Dame Products Pom “if you love to keep it quiet under the sheets and have some flexibility in your toys.” This vibrator fits in the palm of your hand, making it perfectly portable and discreet.

“For those who love to grind their way to getting off, the Orion VibePad is your toy,” says Mason. “Put it on a chair or pillow, sit on top, and grind away! I love this for partnered play, too: Try using the VibePad while giving oral sex or even just making out.” It has seven vibration modes, but you can use it without ’em too. It’s USB rechargeable and comes with a remote in case your partner wants to try controlling it.

Wiggins also likes the Dame Fin, a fingertip vibe that can work wonders as an external couples’ toy for extra stimulation (though it’s great for solo play too). “Most women need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm,” she explains, “and this is the perfect handheld device that you can add into your sex sessions to give you exactly what you need.”

“If you prefer a deep, rumble vibration, rather than a buzzy one, you’ll be an instant fan of the Mimi,” says sexologist Emily Morse. She loves the Mimi because of its unique shape, which is similar to a bar of soap but smaller. Because of its flat shape, the deep, rumbly vibrations can make their way throughout your nerve endings, unlike more pinpointed toys. But if you do like to mix and match how targeted a sensation is, Morse suggests flipping between the flat sides and the edges. “And it’s submersible in water,” she adds. “Another delightful option for solo play during bath time.”

Matatas says she has been “in lust” with the Fun Factory Volta Vibrator. It’s super powerful and has flickering tongues that can “feel amazing on the sides of the clitoris, the labia, the underside of the penis, and even nipples,” Matatas says. This toy is designed with Fun Factory’s extra soft silicone and easy-to-grip handle, so it’s great if you prefer a gentler texture or need extra support to hold onto your sex toys.

Sometimes, vibrators are adorable. That’s the case with anything you’ll get from Cute Little Fuckers, a queer-owned company that makes gender-free vibes in cute shapes like this sweet octopus. Finn likes the Princette Puppypus Vibrator because it can be used externally or internally (vaginally or as a butt plug). “Plus, the dip from the base to tip offers an easy-to-grip ergonomic shape to fit between fingers for accessibility,” Finn says. And there’s no shortage of different textures, with rivets and bumps on the head and tentacles. “I mentioned how cute this thing is, right?” Finn says.

Bullet vibrators are helpful because they can deliver targeted sensations to your G-spot but are also so small that you can hold them between your fingers for clitoral stimulation. Plus they come in a compact, discreet package. Don’t let the small size of this G-spot bullet vibrator fool you, though, says Morse. It has deep, rumbly sensations and multiple speeds and vibrating patterns to play with, which makes it highly enjoyable either alone or with a partner. It’s curved just enough to make contact with your clitoris too.

We-Vibe’s original Tango had a cult-level following, says sex educator Cassandra Corrado. And the upgrade is even better. The new Tango X “packs a serious punch when it comes to power,” Finn says. It has a silicone base with three buttons to control the 15 settings. With an angled tip that pinpoints the vibration and an upgraded charger, you can play all night.

You wouldn't think a vibrator this small could pack a rumbly punch. However, Lisa Finn, a Babeland sex educator, previously recommended this one for just that. “Don’t be fooled by how cute this vibe is—the low rumble of Je Joue’s motor packs some serious power for an intense climax.” It has two bunny ears that tickle the clit—or form a V around it.

If you’re a beginner or you’re simply unfussy when it comes to your sex toys, this affordable one from Unbound is a no-brainer. It comes previously recommended by Sarah Sloane, a sex educator and sex toy class coach at Good Vibrations and Pleasure Chest. It has one speed but can make a really great addition to couple play.

The interesting, hammer-like shape of this bullet vibe is what landed it on its list, as it creates a variety of can't-be-replicated sensations. “Its odd shape is actually a benefit,” sexologist Sarah Melancon, PhD, sexuality and relationships expert for SexToyCollective.com, previously told SELF. Each side has a different shape, so you can pinpoint smaller or larger areas around your clitoris and vulva. It’s also remote-controllable.

You may have heard of this vibrator necklace (chic!). The Vesper is meant to be a statement piece. It’s a way to “subtly wear your commitment to pleasure,” Corrado says. “Plus it travels well and is great for quickies.” The price of your Vesper will depend on which finish you choose, between silver, rose gold, and gold. Although it makes a beautiful necklace (you can even get it engraved!), the Vesper is also a great vibrator with one button that cycles between four speeds and pinpointed sensations.

This finger-slash-bullet vibrator is worn around the fingers. “The portion that goes around your fingers can fit two fingers of any size, so you’ll never feel like you don’t have control of the toy,” Andy Duran, the education director for Good Vibration, previously told SELF. It’s waterproof too, for shower or bath play, and only takes two hours to charge.

Looking to welcome toys into the bedroom with your partner? A rabbit vibrator, with its spinning beads and realistic penis head, may not be the place to start, says Engle. For a non-threatening option, seek out a sex toy that doesn’t look like a sex toy. “You want something in a non-fleshy color that is cuter than it is explicitly sexual,” she previously wrote for SELF, recommending the Form II because of its sweet, bunny-like appearance. It has two small ears that house dual motors for powerful vibes, and you can even take it into the tub for a bath. And if you’re looking for more from this brand, might we also suggest the SELF + JimmyJane line of sex toys and sexual wellness products.

Dr. Zagone likes this remote-controlled toy as either a couples toy or for solo experiences as it provides both clitoral and G-spot stimulation. It’s also “small and discreet and has some creative controls that are beyond intuitive,” she says, explaining, “the harder you squeeze the remote, the stronger the vibration gets.”

With arms that fit into the lips of a vagina, the Eva 2 looks a little like an alien. But this alien gives couples the ability to go hands-free and still get those awesome clitoris-focused vibrations. Sex therapist Megan Fleming likes it both for couples and for solo play. You can tuck the flexible arms into your labia and let your hands roam over your partner or stay focused on a dildo or set of anal beads.

This expert-beloved vibrating butt plug “provides that feeling of fullness that you're used to from other butt plugs—without feeling too intense in terms of girth,” Malika O’Neill, LPC, sexologist and founder and CEO of The Pleasure Collective, previously told SELF. Like all high-quality butt plugs, the Snug Plug has a tapered end for safety and ease of use. It also comes in five different sizes and has a variety of speeds and vibration patterns to choose from.

If you're new to anal vibes, the Ditto (which has a stamp of approval from sex educator Jess O’Reilly, PhD.) is a pretty fail-safe place to start. It's small with rumbly vibrations that will also interest the people that are well-versed in butt stuff. Like all We-Vibe toys it can be controlled via an app or remote control. What's more, the Ditto’s base extends to sit in your perineum (the highly sensitive region between your anus and genitals).

This anal vibe comes with three sensation settings: a rimmer, a thruster, and a vibrator. Dr. Grover says the best part about this toy is that it comes with a remote, so you can give it a try solo or use it with a partner. Whoever has control of the remote can cycle through the sensations to switch up the play.

People who have penises often feel left out of the sex toy experience, Howard says. With toys like Lovhoney’s vibrating cock ring, they get to play too. This “dual pleasure toy” slips onto a penis while rabbit-shaped ears stimulate the other partner’s clitoris. What’s more, it comes with a remote control for easy use.

Robert Thomas, a licensed sex therapist and founder of Sextopedia, recommends vibrating cock rings as a must-try item for couples looking to get into sex toys, as they’re hands-free and easy to use. Not only does this type of toy bring you pleasure while vibrating against your clitoris, but it might also make your partner harder for a longer time, Thomas says.

The Lelo Hugo might be marketed as a men’s prostate toy, but Mahalli says anyone can use one. “It provides both internal and clitoral stimulation,” all the while being lightweight, portable, and rechargeable, she says. It also has a remote control, which is perfect for hands-free pleasure.
