18 Best Sex Toys for Beginners That Anyone Can Master
“It gave me the most intense orgasms I’ve ever experienced,” said one satisfied tester. Some brands may note that their toys are made from “body-safe” materials. All medical-grade silicone is also body-safe—but the reverse isn’t always true. To find the best wand vibrators, SELF contributors pulled on their combined nearly three decades of experience testing and reviewing sex toys. We also consulted 10 experts and asked them to share their tried-and-true recommendations. The final list includes high-quality, top-rated wand vibrators across different sizes, price points, and intensities.
Time and time again, I will toss a breezy, adjustable C-ring like this into my bag or back pocket. It’s discreet, and works for pretty much all penis sizes (the max adjustment level is 8.5 inches), and when you’re done using it, the release toggle is just a push away. Listen , I want to do my part for the environment, but I also want to get off—and now I can do both. The Gaia Eco surprised me with its power and design—it’s not just a gimmick, it works. Plus, I feel slightly better about my life choices knowing my vibrator isn’t contributing to landfills. The PlusOne Dual Vibrating Massager delivers pleasure without the hefty price tag.
We’re also fans of the clearly labeled buttons that make it easy to cycle through the Doxy’s eight settings. I’m also a fan of this pick’s simple controls, flexible neck, and lightweight design (you can read my full review of the Ultra Wand here). CNET staff — not advertisers, partners or business interests — determine how we review products and services. We like this silicone bullet from Lora DiCarlo, which has an extra cushy surface (made from medical-grade silicone) that warms up to slightly above body temperature—turning up the heat on your single (or couples) play session. The only vibrator on this list that has not been hands-on tested by the Mashable team is the Unbound Shimmy. We’ve decided to include it for its excellent features-to-price ratio, and because Unbound is a brand we trust and have hands-on tested with their Pep vibrator.
Sam, the founder of a spicy audio membership club called Best Kept Secret, recommends the TENGA GEO Coral for men (or folks with penises) who want to be discreet and still have a good time. It has an oversized, flat tip that sits snugly against your G-spot, and unlike other internal vibrators, this one isn’t so big that you’ll have a hard time getting it in or out. If using lube, I do suggest a water-based lubricant to ensure everything slips in smoothly.
Made from soft silicone, it has five speeds and six patterns for users to enjoy, with most of our testers saying it helped them achieve a stronger orgasm more quickly. To find the top performers viberators, our Good Housekeeping Institute testing panel of 123 women put a range of models to the test. While I easily had sex with my partner during the aforementioned play party, sitting on top of an intensely vibrating machine in front of people I didn’t know felt too exposed for me, for some reason. However, the other people I’d seen trying it out always looked like they’d immensely enjoyed it. That’s why when the opportunity arose for me to try the Motorbunny Buck in my own home, I was stoked.
