The Mans Guide to Vibrators

The Pulse Solo Essential is the most pared-down model the brand makes, but if you want a version with a few more cool features (like a remote control) check out the Pulse Duo Lux instead. That’s why the Lelo Ina Wave 2’s game-changing Wave Motion technology makes this rabbit one worth writing about. Mashable culture reporter Jess Joho called the toy “the best that rabbit vibrators have to offer,” and that’s because the internal part of the vibe actually moves inside you, replicating a “come hither” motion. And as gimmicky as it sounds, it actually works pretty freaking well in providing internal stimulation. Thanks to the compact design, it’s ultra discreet and will fit into the palm of your hand nicely – a particularly popular feature among our testers. One of our panellists noted that it didn’t look like a sex toy, so you can easily carry it around with you.

At nearly 17 inches tall, with a 4.5 inch silicone head, the vibrator is freakin’ enormous and, uh, probably requires two hands. The device lets users choose from ten pulsation patterns and runs on electricity via a seven foot power cord. There are some ridiculously massive sex toys on the market these days — some so large they’re almost comical. We’ve tested dozens of clitoral suction toys, and there are only a select few we’d call the absolute best in any given category.

Generally, you can count on high-quality vibrators to land somewhere between $50 to $150. Make sure that regardless of price point, the vibe you’re buying is made of body-safe materials like platinum-grade silicone. No matter what vibrator , the general consensus among experts is that your toy should be phthalate-free, Howard says. Phthalates are a group of chemical plasticizers typically used to make plastics softer, so you usually spot them in jelly-like toys.

It’s very much down to personal preference, but here’s a quick rundown. Vibrators are great on their own, but you can use one with a partner, too. You can use it to stimulate your clitoris during vaginal sex to try for a more intense orgasm. Vibrator use is popular among both men and women of all sexual orientations. Over 43.8% of heterosexual men and 49.8% of homosexual men in the U.S. reported using vibrators, either alone or with partners. Another study found that 52.5% of women aged in the U.S. have used a vibrator before.

To figure out which one to buy, take a moment to consider what kind of pleasure you enjoy, as well as what kind of play you’d be interested in exploring. From there, peruse the different types of vibrators to determine which toy genre best fits your wants and needs. There might be an obvious winner, or a few toys you’re tempted to try. And it’s really no problem if you find yourself in the latter category—after all, you can always buy more than one. This Kandi Kisses lipstick-shaped vibrator looks just like your average tube of lipstick but is actually a secret toy with three adjustable settings. So sneaky you can throw it in your purse, just don’t confuse it with your actual makeup.

More than 25 products were distributed to couples who used them to explore connection from afar, including LGBTQ+ couples who were able to pair devices designed for the same gender. But the interactivity of this toy is impressive thanks to We-Vibe’s mobile application, which means a partner can cycle through over eight different rhythms and speeds from afar. Dr. Torrisi recommends the Ollie because it’s “super light, playful, and straightforward.” Meanwhile, the toy is coated in medical-grade silicone and the buttons are well-labeled (no more fumbling around frustrated in the dark). “Sex furniture allows couples to support different sexual positions,” says Lawless.
