But check out the Godin’s sunburst finish—it sure reminds me

German brand Fun Factory makes some of the best-engineered vibes on the market, which is why this rabbit is so damn good. Its ultra-powerful dual motors serve up deep, thrumming vibration to both the G-spot and the clit (or to the prostate and perineum, if used anally). The flexibility of its external arm allows it to move with you when you thrust the toy—and thrusting is a breeze with this vibe, because of its looped handle.

Whether you’re looking for a vibrator that can blend seamlessly with the decor of your bedroom or are just looking for a more out-of-the-ordinary device for your collection—you have options. The Crave Vesper is both of those things, with its long, sleek body that has multiple settings (including gentle and oscillating) for external use. “In addition to being easy-to-use, Vesper provides an aesthetic jewelry experience,” says Ti Chang, VP of Design and co-founder of Crave. If you like to engage in a little backdoor action, check out this beginner-friendly butt plug designed specifically for people with vulvas. It’s slim with an asymmetric base that won’t block the vaginal opening, and the curved tulip shape guides penises or toys toward the G-spot. Some are curved or have bulbous ends for G-spot stimulation, like the Lovehoney G-Slim G-Spot Vibrator ($20, Lovehoney).

But staring across the room at the new Godin Connaisseur MJ, glowing in soft spring sunlight, I kept thinking about two very classic American guitar companies. Martin and Rickenbacker are famous for very different things viberator, and one of them rarely made acoustic instruments. But check out the Godin’s sunburst finish—it sure reminds me of Rickenbackerfireglo. The herringbone-patterned purling evokes that found on a D-28 as well as Rickenbacker’s checkerboard binding. There are practical reasons that this Godin feels like an alternate-universe offspring from the two American companies—most notably the super-satisfying playability.

When it comes to discreet vibrators, it also fits the bill with its compact design and sensonic technology, which mimics the act of oral sex with its 12 settings. Unlike a lot of other toys, this one has two independent motors in its respective ends that feature 10 unique speeds and rhythms. The wider end of the toy provides more “focused” tapping sensations, and the more tapered end pleases you with all the ‘good vibes’ you can handle. If you’re looking for discreet male sex toys, this is definitely the best it can get.

If you’re well-versed in sex toys, you know that a wand vibrator is a must-have for your pleasure tool kit—and if you’re newer to the sex-essories scene, these microphone-shaped devices are a superb place to start. In 2024, there’s no shortage of sex toys to choose from, but the pleasure brought on by the best wand vibrators is second to none. You probably already know and love the Magic Wand vibrator marketed as a “personal massager” (yeah, right) way back in 1968. It’s since become the little black dress, if you will, of sex toy stashes, but there’s more to the genre than ‘ol faithful. The web is bursting with all sorts of fresh takes on the vibrating wand for your playing pleasure, like toys with up to 20 pulsation modes , two-sided designs, and app-controlled, titillating tech.

Whether you’re in a long-distance relationship, a camgirl, or just a fan of public play, it can be hard to come up with new ways to keep things hot at a distance.

Or, you can angle the arms to provide more pinpointed stimulation wherever you want it. One SELF editor called the compact Maude Vibe the “sex toy I didn’t know I needed.” Its slim, elongated body lets you use it like an extension of your finger, with a tapered tip that targets the clit. This simple, whisper-quiet vibe has three intensities that ramp up from fluttery to “eye-poppingly powerful,” she says. That original vibe had a long body that could enter the vagina, with rabbit “ears” that stimulated the clit. Some rabbit vibes today have preserved this signature style—because if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Others have replaced the “ears” with shorter arms that curve towards the clit or suction mechanisms.

The biggest compliment I can offer the Connaisseur MJ is the considerable time I spent with it in a meditative musical state—thinking not about a review, just basking in its warm, sprightly resonance and inviting touch response. At $2,499, the Godin arguably offers more personality than a satin-finished instrument at the same price with a more famous name. It’s well built and feels like a guitar that’s in it for the long haul. And when it comes to tone and a pure playing experience, the Connaisseur MJ shines.
