22 Homemade Sex Toys You Can Make From Household Items

Searching for specific product reviews or experiences shared by users online can help you make an informed decision based on others’ experiences. Like the Hitachi, Le Wand has a “wave” button to cycle through the patterns viberator, but it has a plus and minus button to change the speed (also, the plus button serves as “on” while minus serves as “off”). Similar to the other toys, Le Wand has both vibration and pulsing available, just with more variety in terms of the quickness and intensity of the pulses — these patterns are all laid out in Le Wand’s user guide.

You can choose from a variety of pre-made models on-site, or even build your own. Clitoral suction toys can be a bit of a mystery if you’re unfamiliar with their ins and outs. Vibrators contain motors that provide the vibration by just stimulating via shaking, but a suction toy is a little more complex. For many of us, finding creative ways to use long distance toys can help keep the spark alive.

Then consider the range of intensities and patterns the toy provides, Carol Queen, PhD, a sex educator with Good Vibes, tells SELF, so you can turn it up as you get more turned on—or lower it if you want to draw out your orgasm. Most of our panel said this egg-shaped vibrator helped them achieve a more intense orgasm and they all noted how quiet it was, so they didn’t have to worry about anyone hearing it if they were in the next room. Our testers found it provided a completely different experience compared to other vibrators on the market and said it was beautifully designed. Lexington, Kentucky-based marriage and family therapist Juliana Hauser, PhD, previously told Allure where you place your vibrator is critical. High-frequency vibration designed to run off of pneumatic air power.

And the best finger vibrators will not only get you where you need to be, but they might also help you achieve multiple orgasms. Last year, Womanizer put its Pleasure Air Technology on hold when it released the Womanizer Vibe, a clitoral vibrator that relied solely on vibrations to stimulate. Now, just a few months later, we’re treated to the Enhance, a two-in-one package of vibrations and Pleasure Air Technology. So, no, your vibrator isn’t going to cure every possible ailment you might develop. Vibrators can help you have orgasms, and orgasms can make you feel good.

Wand vibrators are as essential to a sex toy collection as a cup of coffee is to your morning routine. Whether you call them “personal massagers” or “the fastest way to orgasm,” there’s no question that wands belong in the bedside tables of beginner and experienced sex toy users alike. For this story, she interviewed four experts, researched dozens of sex toys online, tested many herself and read through hundreds of online user reviews to pick the best of the best.

Our expert panel tested the best clitoral stimulation sex toys on the market. So the suction toy’s ability to surround the clit and give it a wealth of strong but not abrasive buzzing — which has its place, but sometimes can be too much for this sensitive spot — is part of why they are such a hit. And, on top of that, they can often be used to stimulate your nipples too, which is a pretty solid two-fer. I’m a firm believer that everyone’s sex toy collection should contain a variety of vibrators—especially a bullet vibrator, which is essentially what the Vesper Mini is.

You can also hand control to your partner via a Bluetooth-connected app. One tester said it was a great addition to her sex life with her husband, while others told us it was just as good for solo play. You can even chat with strangers anonymously via the app, if you want to add a different element of excitement. “It’s a beautiful and functional product that brings a lot of excitement to my life,” said one satisfied tester. Our testers found the buttons a little stiff , so being able to flick between settings on their phone was a welcome and more user-friendly alternative. They loved the vibrator’s clean design too, saying the curved shape was great for G-spot stimulation.

The ‘rabbit ears’ have three speeds, while the shaft offers nine patterns and three speeds, along with a curved head for optimal G-spot stimulation. You can also tap into turbo mode with a double-click of the button, which ultimately ended up being my favorite speed. The Mini can be used to stimulate all of your favorite external erogenous zones, and you can do so even more discreetly than with its predecessor, thanks to its size. While plenty of other vibrating cock rings here can be used solo, the Jett is the only one designed expressly for alone time.
