Go Ahead and Shower With the New Waterproof Magic Wand
Versions of the iconic Magic Wand have been our top-pick vibrator for more than a decade. And now, for its latest trick, the Magic Wand is waterproof. The Magic Wand Waterproof is distributor Vibratex's answer to a shortcoming of previous versions — you can't shower or bathe with them, or run them under a faucet for easier cleaning. Compared with previous versions, this newest model also has a stronger, more rumbly level-four 'high' setting. In our experience, it feels like the most powerful Magic Wand yet. Expect to pay extra for these features. If a waterproof toy is important to you, or if you crave even more intensity, it may well be a worthwhile investment. This is a waterproof version of our longtime top-pick vibrator. It's rechargeable and can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes, which also means it is easier to clean than other Magic Wand models. No other toy matches the power and intensity of the widely beloved Magic Wand. The intense stimulation it provides can be particularly helpful for people experiencing diminished libido or sensitivity. This is a waterproof version of our longtime top-pick vibrator. It's rechargeable and can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes, which also means it is easier to clean than other Magic Wand models. No other toy matches the power and intensity of the widely beloved Magic Wand. The intense stimulation it provides can be particularly helpful for people experiencing diminished libido or sensitivity. The Magic Wand Waterproof looks almost identical to the Magic Wand Rechargeable, our top pick, with a few subtle differences. The circumference at the top of the body is a bit larger (it's 0.3 inch wider in diameter, per Vibratex), and the unit itself weighs 60 grams (about the weight of a chicken egg) more than the Rechargeable version, according to our measurements. 'Waterproof' is clearly printed below the Magic Wand logo, so there's little risk of your accidentally mixing it up with another model you may own. The Waterproof version also functions the same way as the Rechargeable model does, with an on/off power button and two buttons to take you through four intensity levels and four vibration patterns. In addition to being waterproof (with an IPX7 rating, it can be submerged down to 1 meter, or 3.3 feet, for up to 30 minutes), this toy produces vibrations that feel stronger and more rumbly at every level but especially at the highest, level four. Whether that is a selling point or a drawback for you depends on your personal preference, but people who adore the Magic Wand because of its unparalleled power are likely to appreciate this upgrade. For regular users of a non-waterproof Magic Wand, the ease of throwing this new model in the sink for a quick and easy soap-and-water rinse under the faucet will be absolutely liberating. Being able to use it for a shower massage or in a tub is a bonus for those who enjoy playing in water. The Magic Wand Waterproof takes a dip in the bath. Bianca Alba for NYT Wirecutter The Magic Wand Waterproof has a few minor flaws. It is about $60 more expensive than the Rechargeable version, and people who already find the Rechargeable model to be too strong probably wouldn't enjoy the additional power this toy offers. The Waterproof model must also charge longer for a shorter total run time: four hours of charging for two and a half hours of play, in contrast to the three hours of charging for three hours of play with the Rechargeable version. Unlike the Magic Wand Rechargeable, the Magic Wand Waterproof is nonoperational in charging mode, so if you run out of juice in the middle of a session, you're out of luck. This was designed as a safety feature, and it's the only significant drawback we found in this toy in comparison with the Rechargeable model. Another minor drawback: A small included blue cap is intended to be plugged into the charging port when the vibrator is submerged in water. The toy is fully waterproof without the cap, which is meant to keep the port dry so that it can be safely plugged in for charging. If you're prone to losing and misplacing small objects, keeping track of this cap may prove to be an annoyance. From top: The Magic Wand Plus, a corded model; the cordless Magic Wand Rechargeable, our top pick; and the cordless Magic Wand Waterproof, the newest toy in the line (and the only one that can be submerged in water). Bianca Alba for NYT Wirecutter If you are a Magic Wand lover looking to upgrade or replace an existing toy, and you don't mind spending a little extra for ease of cleaning, versatility, and added power, this model is worth the additional expense. This article was edited by Tracy Vence and Kalee Thompson. Few products have had as profound an effect on sexual health as the Magic Wand . It's a decent back and shoulder massager, too. Over 10 years of research and testing, we still think the Magic Wand Rechargeable is the best clitoral vibrator. It's an effective whole-body massager, too. Buying a vibrator can be tricky without a great recommendation. This week, we discuss why vibrators are still so taboo—and how to pick one you'll love.

Tariffs are coming for your sex toys
Trump's massive tariffs on China are going to hurt your sex life. Most sex toys sold in the U.S. are manufactured in China, and production can't quickly shift stateside. This month, the president has made a slew of announcements and backtracks on global tariffs. This has led to an escalating trade war with China, with current tariffs on imports at 145 percent (as of this writing), and the administration hinting that they can balloon to 245 percent. SEE ALSO: People are rushing to Temu and Shein to beat Trump's tariffs As many products sold in the U.S. are made in China, many industries and customers will likely suffer. Sex toy companies aren't any different, and if these tariffs continue, your bedside drawer might look a lot emptier soon. Why are sex toys made in China? "Pretty much all toys are made in China," said Carolyn Eagle, owner of the online sex toy shop Betty's Toy Box and others. Factories in China have the manufacturing capabilities and decades of knowledge to make toys, particularly vibrators, which have small electronic parts like motors. This wasn't always the case, though, according to sex historian and journalist Hallie Lieberman. In the early twentieth century, vibrators were produced in the U.S. — and companies were proud of it. "Pretty much all toys are made in China." - Carolyn Eagle, owner of the online sex toy shop Betty's Toy Box "In the early 1900s, the U.S. [...] Racine, Wisconsin marketed itself as ' vibrator capital of the world ,'" said Lieberman, author of Buzz: A Stimulating History of the Sex Toy . "We were making electric motors and vibrators in Wisconsin […] the Midwest was that production capital, because we were making small electric motors here. They had the infrastructure, they had the factories." In the decades since, Lieberman said we've "gone from doing vibrator production in the U.S. to completely outsourcing it." Why? Why does the U.S. outsource vibrator production? Firstly, these Midwestern-made vibrators weren't marketed for sexual purposes (even though that's what they were used for); they were sold as products for health and non-sexual uses — even vacuum cleaners . Around the sexual revolution and women's liberation movement in the 1960s and 70s, vibrators did become more associated with sex, and women's masturbation in particular. This contributed to more stigma around the toys. American companies like Hamilton Beach, which produced vibrators at the turn of the century (you can find some on eBay ), focused on other household appliances instead. Meanwhile, the iconic Magic Wand vibrator (formerly known as the Hitachi Magic Wand), which isn't produced in the U.S., debuted in 1968. By the time Vibratex, the wholesale distributor of Magic Wand, took over distributing and managing the vibrators in 2000, Magic Wand was manufactured in China. The switch from manufacturing in Japan to China happened in the late 1980s or early 1990s, CEO of Vibratex Ken Herskovitz told Mashable. Vibratex, which launched the also-famous Rabbit Pearl vibrator, also shifted production from Japan to China (unrelated to Magic Wand) around that time because of the reduced labor cost and larger manufacturing infrastructure, Herskovitz said. "Shenzhen and Dongguan are where, I would say, about 90 percent of all sex toys are made." - Alexandra Fine, co-founder and CEO of sex toy company Dame Today, it's difficult to determine how many vibrators and other sex toys are produced in China and imported into the U.S., Lieberman said. These products don't have a NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) code, so they're not categorized like retail or agriculture products. Despite the lack of official statistics, Lieberman and business owners Mashable spoke to made it clear that the vast majority of sex toys sold in the U.S. are made in China. "Shenzhen and Dongguan are where, I would say, about 90 percent of all sex toys are made," Alexandra Fine, co-founder and CEO of sex toy company Dame, told Mashable. "They are experts there at making this type of product." Certain aspects of vibrators are particularly difficult to make, Fine continued. She used an example of not being able to use high-temperature silicone around electronics because it'll melt the electronics. "There's nuance. They're hard to do, and this is where the experts are, and how we can make quality product," she said. "The manufacturers in Shenzhen are exceptional at what they do," wrote Polly Rodriguez, co-founder and CEO of sex toy brand Unbound, in a blog post about how tariffs are impacting the company . "There is no other region that can match their quality of raw materials, technology, safety standards, manufacturing processes, speed, and price." Can sex toys be made in the U.S.? One stated reason for the tariffs is to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. But in the case of many products, including sex toys, it's not easy. Two variables are the ability to make products at scale and cost, according to Michael Topolovac, co-founder and CEO of pleasure jewelry company Crave. Currently, supply chains that companies need to make an array of products at scale (meaning, a lot of them) don't really exist in the U.S. "For example, batteries and motors. They're not manufactured in the U.S. anywhere," said Topolovac. "Not for these kinds of consumer products. They just don't exist. Could you build battery and motor factories in the U.S.? Sure, but that's a five-year problem." "Could you build battery and motor factories in the U.S.? Sure, but that's a five-year problem." - Michael Topolovac, co-founder and CEO of pleasure jewelry company Crave "When you get to electro-mechanical products, and the scale at work that we're doing it, it's just not feasible in the U.S. currently," said Ti Chang, co-founder and creative director of Crave. Crave does its design, research and development, some assembly, and quality control in San Francisco, but its parts are made in China. The other problem is cost. Rates for labor, construction, real estate, and basic living costs are higher here than in China. "Even if you could build up the supply chain, it would be materially more expensive," Topolovac said. So, are sex toy prices going to go up? If nothing changes with the tariffs, yes. "People are going to have to really raise the prices of vibrators," Lieberman said. Sex toy brands are responding to this potential reality in different ways. Unbound and Dame posted blog posts about the tariffs, pledging transparency to their customers. When the tariffs were set at 20 percent, Dame instituted a $5 "Trump tariff surcharge," which Fine told Mashable wasn't enough to offset the increased cost on the company's end. Last week, Dame updated the charge and the blog post , stating, "We've updated our prices to reflect a ~50 percent tariff. Because we just don't think it will stay at 145 percent." Dame's "Trump's tariff surcharge" is currently $15, and Dame and Fine shared more about the company's math on Instagram . Vibratex sells wholesale to retailers, and effective immediately, there's a 10 percent tariff offset fee, which also wouldn't fully cover the increased cost, Herskovitz said. As of this publication, beginning in May, there will be a 20 percent tariff offset fee; in June, 30 percent; and in July, 40 percent. Vibratex aims to cap this fee to its customers (retailers) at 40 percent. Vibratex has also controlled order sizes so one retailer doesn't stock up on all their inventory before prices increase. Meanwhile, Crave stocked up on extra inventory before Trump's tariff announcement, given his history of imposing tariffs on China . In an email sent to customers and forwarded to Mashable, Crave stated it's not raising prices for now, but urged customers to buy something if they're eyeing it. "[O]wing to the extreme tariffs and their apparent likelihood of being maintained, it is unclear how long we can keep our current pricing," Crave's email stated. It's difficult to say how much products will cost if manufacturing eventually shifts to the U.S., Topolovac said, but he estimated prices can go up 300 or 400 percent. Hurting businesses and bodies The escalating tariffs are causing chaos in the markets and businesses. "If one's intent — I use that word very broadly — was wanting to eviscerate very large swaths of small businesses in America, this is precisely how you would do it," said Topolovac, CEO of Crave. "I feel a little apocalyptic about my vibrators right now." - Alexandra Fine, co-founder and CEO of Dame Multiple business owners told Mashable that the instability of Trump's decisions has made it difficult to decide what to do. Across industries, from beauty to children's toys to furniture , business owners feel, as the Wall Street Journal reported, "stuck in limbo." "I feel like I'm dancing with chaos," Fine said. "I feel a little apocalyptic about my vibrators right now." "Everyone's on edge," Herskovitz said of the Vibratex team. "This current situation feels very unpredictable. We don't know. It's why I'm doomscrolling all day." "Even if the tariffs continue on for another couple of months, companies are going to start going under," said Eagle. "They just won't be able to afford to produce and bring over the product that they need to bring over." These impacts will undoubtedly affect consumers, and not just their wallets. "It's easy to look at it and say, 'Oh, it's just frivolous, whatever,'" about sex toys, "but these are products people use on their genitals, inside their bodies," Lieberman said. SEE ALSO: Whatever Trump decides on tariffs, Apple and Tim Cook lose "People are always going to want to masturbate. They're always going to want to provide pleasure. They will find a way to get the cheaper product, even with the surcharge, the Shein product , or the whatever product that may have dangerous chemicals in it that may break, that may be harmful to them." What makes matters worse is that this is happening alongside a years-long attempt to stifle online sexuality. Twin laws FOSTA-SESTA , which Trump signed into law in 2018, were outwardly to curb online sex trafficking, but in reality have pushed sex workers (and educators, and other people in the sexuality space ) off social platforms and the internet. This makes them less safe and also makes it harder to find credible information online. Sex toy companies, especially women-centered ones, aren't exempt from this. In 2023, Unbound showed that Meta rejected its toy ads until it marketed to men. Additionally, around a third of the U.S. is now subject to age-verification laws . These laws typically require identification data (in the form of government ID or facial recognition) for visitors of sites with over a third of explicit content. Despite free speech advocates and researchers saying age-verification doesn't work to stop minors from accessing porn sites, they persist. And age verification is coming for sex toys. Last month, Texas introduced a bill to require official proof of age to buy sex toys online . "Current struggles impacting toy businesses with the new tariffs remind us of challenges we continue to see faced by advocates, researchers, and educators like ourselves in the broader field of sexual rights," COO at sexual freedom nonprofit Woodhull Freedom Foundation , Mandy Salley, said in an emailed statement to Mashable. "Restrictive policies on who can access sexual content online, increasing censorship of sexual expression on social media, and regressive human rights policies contribute to the censorship and stigmatization of consenting adults' access to sexual content." It's unclear whether the 145 percent tariffs will last long after this publication or for years, and how sex toy companies will respond. One thing for sure is, they're killing the buzz in more ways than one.

It took a few days of playing with it to figure out how to make it work with my anatomy, as I'm trans male and have some bottom growth that makes me large for some toys, and I am very happy with my purchase. It has some amazing suction, it's not too loud, is easy to hold, and has been great to bring into the shower or use in bed. I am happy to say this toy can make me orgasm in ways traditional vibrators cannot. I also like how it charges, the magnetic charging has been great, as I don't feel as worried about the charging cord being damaged, if there's too much pressure on the cord it will pull free, and I don't need to shove and worry about putting the cord into a port." — Tamara Moore Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in three colors). 2.

Promising review:"This is an amazing addition to our toy drawer! I have been looking at items like the rose and I came across this. It's basically two toys in one. Use either part separately, or use both of them at the same time. Playing solo? This is the only toy you will need. Playing with your partner? My partner is very enthusiastic about adding this to our sessions. And the quality is excellent for the price point. Don't even think about it! Just buy it! You'll thank me later!" — Kim Get it from Amazon for $28.98+ (available in six colors). 6.

The grooves are both soft and distinctive enough to have a grind that is satisfying.

The size excited me, it's larger than I expected. It's made of high-quality soft-touch rubber over something hard, so it has the perfect amount of give where needed. It has three settings of constant vibration, in increasing strengths, then three patterned vibration modes. This is a great feature as the same thing after a while can reduce the impact. It keeps me on edge the whole time I'm using it. This vibrator is the only one that's given me a leg-shaking orgasm when I've used it. The battery life is fantastic and I love that the recharge port is self-resealing rubber, this is very clever and great quality.

Promising review: "This my first vibrator, ever. I was incredibly intimidated by it at first - like it sat in my top drawer unopened for a week... Sex Ed was taboo in my big religious family. I spent a long time thinking something was wrong with my body, but actually, it was being with partners that didn't understand what they were doing. I don't really have the words to express how eye opening The Dip is. It's truly been life changing for me. It's approachable, efficient, and has been a confidence builder to say the least. I highly recommend it!!" — Abigail W. Get it from Dame for $45 (available in two colors). 11. A discreet Fleshlight masturabator Lovehoney Fleshlights have always been a favorite masturbator toy among people with penises and this is a discreet, softer and more satisfying redesign of the original.

Promising review:"I've owned a few Fleshlights but this has to be the best. To start with it's very discrete, it doesn't remotely look like a sex toy.

Cleanup after is super easy, it comes apart easily and is clean in a matter of minutes." — Normalmaybe

Your Favorite Sex Toy Brand Might Go Under
There's still a 145 percent tariff on China, and sex toys aren't part of the electronics exemption. If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. Learn more. It's hard to make sense of tariffs because things are changing day by day. The only constant seems to be the exorbitantly high 145 percent tariff on China. While President Donald Trump may have exempted tariffs on a handful of electronics over the weekend, like smartphones, laptops, and TVs (though maybe not for long), that doesn't apply to other gadgets from China, even if there's a printed circuit board inside, like sex toys. Sex toy manufacturers are generally bucketed under the 'massagers' or 'adult' product category when it comes to imports and exports, meaning these companies have been forced to pay a hefty tariff on their goods since April 9. Brands, like Dame, Unbound, and Vibratex, are already feeling the effects, and if things don't change, there's a chance some may have to close up shop. Alex Fine, CEO of Dame, was among the first to publicly address the impact on Instagram. 'So far we've already had shipments that incurred a 20 percent increase,' Fine tells WIRED. She says the company has been working to minimize how much extra customers pay, but had to implement a $5 'Trump tariff surcharge' on all orders. 'A 54 percent increase in cost of goods sold would have put Dame in the red last year, and at 125 percent, I'm not going to even do that math.' That was before Trump raised the tariff to 145 percent. Polly Rodriguez, CEO of sex toy brand Unbound, says a vibrator that previously cost the company $30 now has a tariff cost of $44, bringing the total to $74. Tariffs are now Unbound's largest expense as a business, higher than payroll or manufacturing. Some companies are playing it cool for now. 'At Le Wand and b-Vibe, we're taking a measured approach to the tariff situation,' says Alicia Sinclair, CEO of COTR Inc., the parent company behind both brands. 'While our products are manufactured in China, meaning tariffs will certainly impact our cost structure, we've deliberately maintained sufficient inventory to give ourselves time to evaluate the situation properly.' The consensus from many of the companies I spoke with was that there's a lot of uncertainty in the air, and prices are already up. Samantha Marshall, head of brand and marketing at Smile Makers, says the company has already raised prices, as the tariffs are too high to be fully absorbed by retailers. Vibratex, the parent company that distributes the iconic Magic Wand, deals with retailers more than direct customers, and Ken Herskovitz, the company's CEO, says it plans to absorb portions of the increased wholesale cost. If these tariffs remain, it won't just mean spending more money on sex toys, but possibly seeing your favorite sex toy company go out of business. 'There are two things that will happen without question,' says Rodriguez. 'Small businesses will go under, as many of us cannot bear a cost increase this large. The businesses that can endure will have no choice but to increase prices, which we're already seeing.' Like Le Wand, Rodriguez says Unbound has inventory in stock, but tens of thousands more are on their way to its warehouse in the US. She says the company will do everything it can to limit the impact on pricing. 'Unbound was built on the belief that sexual wellness products should be accessible for all, and we have always defined that as being well below $100. It is still our goal to maintain that threshold.' Both Fine and Rodriguez pointed out how the tariffs will affect small businesses the hardest, as they do not have the resources of big tech corporations to get exemptions, even if they're temporary. 'From where I'm sitting, it will come down harder on female-founded businesses, because so many of them are beauty and wellness-related,' Fine says.

The Best Vibrators, tested in real life, of 2025
Vibrators are an essential part of modern sexual wellness. Today, they're more sophisticated than ever and designed with anatomy, pleasure, and user experience in mind. They range from discreet bullet vibes that fit between your fingers to powerful wands ready to rewire your neural pathways. Some focus on clitoral stimulation alone, while others target the G-spot or multiple erogenous zones at once. Since their rise as a consumer good starting in the 1960s, they've revolutionized how women experience pleasure—and played a key role in bridging the orgasm gap for those who have sex with men. Today's variations in shape, size, material, and smart features mean that finding the right one requires knowing yourself and what's available. That's where this guide comes in. Our Sexperts have tested dozens of vibrators, from the best G-spot vibrators to bullet vibrators we don't want to live without. We've distilled those tested findings to highlight the best options across multiple categories so you can find a perfect match at a glance. Whether you're buying your first vibrator or your latest, we've got you covered. Our standout winner? The Magic Wand Rechargeable (available at Amazon) . This updated version of the 1968 classic delivers deep, rumbly vibrations—and when the battery dies, you can plug it into the wall and keep going. Or coming.

Don't let its soft, silicone head and semi-flexible neck fool you into thinking it'll be gentle. The Magic Wand packs a powerful orgasm, or four, one after another. The big vibrating head and relentless motor can zap your whole clitoral region, offering a result that translates to big, rolling orgasms instead of quick, jerking ones. Hitachi does make a smaller version, the Magic Wand MINI, which it advertises as having the "same legendary power" as the Original version in a more compact, 9.6-inch size.

Best G-Spot Vibrator Dame Arc Vibration patterns: 5 5 Material: Medical-grade silicone Medical-grade silicone Waterproof: Water-resistant Water-resistant Rechargeable: Yes Out of the box, the Dame Arc looks like a classic G-spot vibrator, although it's quite pretty, which many wand vibrators are not. Behind its design is the best G-spot vibrator on the market right now. The Dame Arc has a lot going for it. It's lightweight and relatively long, making it easy to grasp and integrate into partnered sex. It's also quiet. While most of the other G-spot vibrators we tried featured blunt, rounded ends, the Dame Arc tapers into an angular ridge. You can press this ridge against your G-spot—or use it externally on your clit. This shape, combined with the toy's rumbly vibrations, offers a more powerful sensation than more rounded or buzzy vibrators. The experience can be intense. Even without being a particularly girthy or heavy toy, this is the G-spot vibrator we'd recommend to anyone who wants that 'aches so good' sensation. The Dame Arc's battery can last 81 minutes on the highest setting in our experience—not bad for a rechargeable toy (although the brand says 90 minutes). Although the packaging claims it is waterproof, our tests found that it's probably better described as splash-proof, as full submersion can damage the motor. For a quick shower, though, the Dame Arc works great. She's good alone, good with partners, good when you turn it down, and good when you crank it up. The angular design is simple but effective, letting the user quickly increase the intensity by adding more pressure. Pros Wide range of vibrations Easy to use alone or with partner Comfortable to hold Cons Took on an annoying rattling sound after we submerged it in water $98.99 from Amazon $99.00 from Dermstore $49.99 from Walmart Credit: Reviewed / Womanizer Best Suction Vibrator Womanizer Premium 2 Vibration patterns: 14 14 Material: Body-safe silicone Body-safe silicone Waterproof: Yes Yes Rechargeable: Yes If you're up for it, the Womanizer Premium 2 Clitoral Stimulator can keep you engaged for a whopping four hours before its batteries need to be recharged. Vah-voom! It also operates as softly as a whisper and stays in standby mode unless it's touching skin, making it a great investment for your pleasure sesh if you have thin walls. This high-end sex toy comes with small and medium-sized nozzle heads for personal suitability and an autopilot mode that randomly changes up the play between intensity levels, so you never know what's coming. If you like practicality with your pleasure, the Womanizer boasts an impressive five-year warranty. Pros 14 intensity levels Sucking function Waterproof Cons Learning curve to using it Buy now at Amazon Credit: Reviewed / Timothy Renzi This perfectly palm-sized bullet vibrator has a pleasantly tactile feel, equipped with a variety of settings to please you. Best Bullet Vibrator Maude Vibe Personal Massager Vibration patterns: 3 3 Material: Platinum-grade silicone Platinum-grade silicone Waterproof: Water-resistant Water-resistant Rechargeable: Yes At just under 5 inches long, shaped like a pear, and designed to fit right in the palm of your hand, the Maude Vibe proves you don't have to be fancy to be effective. Unlike many of the other bullet vibrators we tested, this minimalist toy doesn't have countless vibration speeds or patterns. Instead, it has three speed settings, meaning there's virtually no learning curve for beginners. We found the Maude Vibe delivers rumbly-style vibrations up to around 182 hertz (Hz), meaning it offers deeper, more intense stimulation compared to buzzy alternatives. Its conical shape makes it easy to grip and maneuver around the labia, especially compared to some lipstick-shaped bullet vibrators we tried. It was one of the quietest toys overall, too. Its matte, water-resistant silicone makes cleaning it a breeze. Our only gripe is its battery life. Although it is rechargeable, it took up to two hours to fully charge and could only run for about 49 minutes at a time. It won't go the distance if you want to use it with a partner. Some user reviews have claimed the battery tends to brick within about a year or so, and considering the Maude Vibe is only covered by a one-year warranty, this could be a sticking point. Pros Quiet Easy to use Beginner-friendly Powerful, rumbly-style vibrations Comes with a travel pouch Cons Limited battery life Buy now at Amazon Credit: Reviewed Internal and external stimulation from the popular brand. Best Rabbit Vibrator Lelo Soraya Wave Vibration patterns: 8 8 Material: Body-safe silicone, ABS plastic Body-safe silicone, ABS plastic Waterproof: Yes Yes Rechargeable: Yes Our favorite rabbit vibrator comes from the Swedish sex toy brand Lelo. In case you're not in the know, this popular style of women's vibrator delivers dual, internal, and external stimulation at the same time, and the Wave takes it to another level by introducing a 'finger-like' motion to the mix. In addition to vibrating, the shaft of the toy curls up and down a la 'come hither' to maximize G-spot stimulation. She is pretty and easy to clean, with her dulcet silicone exterior that comes in three colors. The Soraya Wave also features a loop in the base that makes her easy to hold. Spend some time with her—she's not meant for a quickie and goes far beyond clitoral stimulation, according to our Soraya Wave reviewer. Our favorite feature: It delivers fast, powerful orgasms inside and out. If you're trying to indulge in some discrete self-pleasure, the Soraya Wave probably isn't the best tool for the job. We were surprised at how loud it is. This toy is best suited for solo use—it's simply too big and bulky to use during intercourse. Pros Unique finger-like motion Maximum G-spot stimulation Easy to clean Easy to hold Cons Loud Too big for use during intercourse Buy now at Amazon $214 $238 at eBay $109.00 from Walmart Credit: Reviewed / We-Vibe Ready to add vibration? The We-Vibe Ditto is ideal for beginners and experienced players, and can be controlled from an app or with a hand-held remote. Best Anal Vibrator We-Vibe DItto+ Vibration patterns: 10 10 Material: Body-safe silicone Body-safe silicone Waterproof: Yes Yes Rechargeable: Yes A small yet satisfying vibrating butt plug, the We-Vibe Ditto+ provides a titillating experience for beginners and still feels like a delight to anyone more experienced. A rounded tip widens into a curve that tapers to a narrow neck, so it's easy to insert and you don't have to stress about it moving around once it's in place. The base is off-center, which makes for comfortable wear during solo or partnered sex and gives people with vaginas the possibility of receiving vaginal penetration. The vibrations are rumbly and powerful, and the toy lets you know when its battery is low—a feature that will have you wondering why every other sex toy doesn't do the same. Control the Ditto with a hand-held remote, buttons on the base of the toy, or the We-Vibe app. The app allows you to switch between up to four We-Vibe toys, and—best of all—to sync with a partner who can then control the vibration patterns and intensity from anywhere with an internet connection. Pros Easy to insert Comfortable Alerts you to low battery Pairs to phone Cons None that we could find Buy now at Amazon Credit: Rewviewed / We-Vibe Best Hands-Free Vibrator We-Vibe Sync O Vibration patterns: 10 10 Material: Body-safe silicone Body-safe silicone Waterproof: Yes Yes Rechargeable: Yes The O in this vibrator's name doesn't just stand for orgasms. It also literally refers to the innovative shape of the insertable arm, which features a little loop. You squeeze it on both sides to insert it, not unlike you would with a period disc or diaphragm. The O-shape ensures that it stays in place for genuine hands-free stimulation. A frequent problem with C-shape vibrators is that they shift around during use, which kills the "put your hands somewhere else" vibe. However, the Sync-O doesn't budge, making it an excellent option for use during partner sex. Vibration patterns go from soft and steady to rumbly and intense, and it operates quietly no matter the intensity. You can control the device using the We-Connect app or the included remote, so you don't have to reach down and seek out a button to cycle through the different modes. Pros Good for couples App enabled Stays in place Cons None we could find Buy now at Amazon What to Consider When Buying Vibrators Who would use a vibrator? If you're wondering, 'Who would use a vibrator?,' the answer is: anyone. All that using a vibrator says about you is that you like using a vibrator. But how do you find a vibrator you like using? Like with many other types of products, the cheapest sex toys are probably not worth your time, and the most expensive aren't necessarily the best. Between those two extremes, however, the selection can be overwhelming. Especially if you're new to vibrators, you will probably have to explore different options to find out what works best for you. Since sex toys are not returnable, trusted sources for reviews can help you make an informed decision. If you already have one or two you know you love, think about what you love about them—the specific vibrations, the size, the shape—and use that as a starting point to find others. If you've never used a vibrator before, head to your local feminist sex shop and try out the floor models (in your hands) to get an IRL feel for the following features. Key features Noise levels and types of vibration: When you're thinking about vibrators, a good place to start is the motor. Vibrators generally fall into two categories—rumbly and buzzy—based on the frequency of their vibrations. Rumbly vibrations are lower frequency, deeper vibrations that penetrate more deeply into the body. They tend to feel bigger and more intense without leading to numbness. Rumbly motors typically vibrate at between 40 to 180 Hz, and because of their lower frequency, they also sound quieter. Buzzy vibrations are high frequency, surface-level, and create a sharp, tingling sensation. While they can feel interesting at first, they can lead to temporary desensitization with prolonged use. Buzzy motors can vibrate at 10,000+ Hz, making them louder and more intense, but not necessarily more enjoyable. While individual taste varies, the clit is made up of receptors that respond best to frequencies between 5 and 15 Hz—far lower than most vibrators on the market. This means that no matter which vibrator you choose, your clit will notice it, but buzzy isn't better. If you visit a sex shop and test a vibrator on your hand, keep in mind that it will feel different during actual use. Ultimately, the best choice depends on what feels good to you. If you prefer deep, penetrating vibrations, a rumbly motor might be ideal. If you like a sharp, intense buzz, a higher-frequency option might be more your speed. Materials: It's important to know that sex toys are not regulated, so the only way to tell whether one is made of safe materials for vibrators is to do your research. Most body-safe vibrators are made of medical-grade silicone, ABS plastic, or a combination of the two (think the Magic Wand Rechargeable, which has an ABS body and silicone head). Since unsafe materials appear similar to safe ones to the naked eye, look for the words 'body-safe,' 'medical-grade,' or 'platinum' silicone. The key factor with your sex toy material is two-fold: making sure the toy isn't porous, and therefore won't trap and fester bacteria, and making sure the toy is phthalate-free, because phthalates are endocrine disruptors. This makes stainless steel and certain types of glass fantastic sex toy materials as well. Material What to expect Silicone Body-safe, hypoallergenic, and comes in a range of textures from soft to hard and shiny to matte. Just make sure to stick to water-based lube, since silicone lube will degrade silicone toys over time ABS plastic Inexpensive, common, hard, and safe to use with any type of lube. Stainless steel Weighty, hard to damage, and easy to clean. Stainless steel sex toys often feel luxurious for the same reason they can be challenging choices for extended sessions: they're heavy. Glass Glass sex toys have the advantage of being non-porous, and the disadvantage of being, you know, glass. If you want to try a glass vibrator (likely a glass dildo with a hole in the bottom for a bullet vibrator), look for borosilicate glass, which is what Pyrex used to be made of, or tempered soda-lime glass. Stay away from 'tempered borosilicate,' since borosilicate can't be tempered so that term can indicate the manufacturer isn't being transparent about something. And vibrating or not, stay away from glass butt toys—a shard of glass in the vagina requires medical attention, but a shard of glass in the rectum is a medical emergency. Design: After materials, evaluate the toy's other design elements by how you want to use it. For the bath, a waterproof vibrator is mandatory—while for the shower, splash-proof should be sufficient. If you're planning to use it alone, cleaning it with soap and water is enough, but if you're planning to use or share it with partners, then look for one that is dishwasher safe so you can disinfect it. Finally, some vibrators are more travel-friendly than others, with travel locks or even carrying cases. Stimulation and smart technology: Vibrators often have several intensity settings, as well as one to several patterns. On some toys, like the Magic Wand Rechargeable, these are separate buttons. On others with only one control button, like the We-Vibe Ditto+, you cycle up through the intensities and then through the patterns. If you're enjoying a setting and accidentally press the button, you'll often have to cycle through all the intensities and patterns until you reach the one you liked again. However, some vibrators—again like the Ditto+—are controllable via apps, which can give you or a long-distance partner more specific control over the vibration patterns or intensities. For example, the We-Connect app allows you to choose more easily between patterns or even create and save your own. It also has a chat and video function—and a robust privacy policy, following concerns that led to a settlement in 2017. Care, maintenance, and warranty There are two types of vibrator users: those who already clean their vibrators after every time they use them, and those who should start. You can clean any waterproof vibrator with anti-microbial soap and warm water. For splash-proof and unspecified vibrators, consult the manual for what's safe to get wet. Make sure to dry it thoroughly afterward with a clean towel. If the idea of getting out of bed and cleaning something right after an orgasm is a huge buzzkill, bedside sex toy wipes are better than nothing. Even if you use your vibrator alone and don't share sex toys, it can still harbor bacteria and fungi that can lead to bacterial vaginosis or urinary tract infections. After it's clean and dry, store your vibrator in a dust bag somewhere cool and dry. Think more along the lines of a nightstand drawer out of the sun, rather than a bathroom cupboard or windowsill display (save that choice placement for your solid stainless-steel butt plug collection). Keep your vibrator battery in good shape by using it until it dies, charging it fully, and removing it from the charger once it's done. If you have a vibrator with removable batteries, remove them when you aren't using it. FAQ: What to Know about Vibrators How many different types of vibrators are there? There are lots of types of vibrators. Here are a few of the most common: Bullet, egg, and lipstick vibrators: Compact, portable, and often discreet, these small vibrators are perfect for targeted clitoral stimulation. While typically less powerful than larger models, their precision and convenience make them ideal for beginners or for taking on the go. Many bullet vibrators feature multiple intensity settings despite their small size, and some are surprisingly rumbly.

Rabbit vibrators: Rabbit vibrators are internal/external vibrators that hit your G-spot and clit at the same time. They're called 'rabbit vibrators' because in 1984 the clitoral stimulator of the very first one looked like tiny fluttering bunny ears. Today, the clitoral stimulator is often a nonrepresentational appendage with a firmness that varies by toy.

Wand vibrators: Known for their deep, rumbly vibrations, wand vibrators are some of the most powerful, still-portable vibrators on the market. They feature a proportionately long handle, which may or may not vibrate, and a larger head, which does. Like their back massager predecessors, many wand vibrators are now rechargeable and cordless—but also like their back massager predecessors, the most powerful and longest-lasting models plug into the wall.

G-spot vibrators: These internal vibrators have a curve towards the anterior wall of the vagina to stimulate the G-spot. They often have a somewhat-to-very pronounced head for the same reason, and the best ones are also easy to grip for added thrusting.

They often have a somewhat-to-very pronounced head for the same reason, and the best ones are also easy to grip for added thrusting. Remote-controlled vibrators: Perfect for partner play or anyone who hates fumbling around for out-of-sight buttons with lube-covered fingers, remote-controlled vibrators can be controlled wirelessly, either by a physical remote in the same room or by smartphone app from anywhere with an internet connection. Do vibrators have options for couples' play? With the right attitude, any vibrator is a couple's vibrator—but some are easier to use with a partner than others. Think about your favorite sex positions, and use that as a starting point to determine which vibrators might work best. For instance, if you prefer a T-position and there's a lot of space between your bodies, the Magic Wand is a powerful addition, and your pelvis or torso can support some of its weight. But if you love back shots and have the wrists of someone reading this on their phone right now, the Maude is smaller and lighter. You can also take a wearable approach. C-shaped vibrators are worn internally by someone with a vagina and can stimulate the clitoris, G-spot, or both. You can wear them while receiving penetration, under a strap-on harness, or even under your clothes, and the best ones will hit the spot and stay out of the way. And vibrating butt plugs are also a versatile hands-free option. And don't forget: If you or your partner's favorite toy on this earth is a rabbit vibrator and you don't feel like anal this evening, there's no phrase hotter than 'I want you to watch/I want to watch.' Are there any health and safety concerns I should know about? When you're vibrator shopping, safety is as important as stimulation. Here are a few things to look for: Body-safe materials: Stick to non-porous, hypoallergenic materials like medical-grade silicone, ABS plastic, or stainless steel. Avoid anything made of jelly polymers, rubber, or an unknown material, since it could contain phthalates or other harmful chemicals. If you don't know what a sex toy is made of, and want to use it anyway, you can also protect yourself by covering it with a condom.

If you don't know what a sex toy is made of, and want to use it anyway, you can also protect yourself by covering it with a condom. Reputable brands: Sex toys are largely unregulated, which means you have to find manufacturers you can trust. Personally, I have purchased and used a vintage vibrator from Etsy, just to see how it would be. (Answer: loud.) But professionally, I recommend sticking to reputable brands that clearly disclose their materials. A cheat code for finding reputable brands is to look at those carried by sex-positive sex shops like SheVibe, the Pleasure Chest, or Smitten Kitten—these companies have been curating sex toys for years, and are knowledgeable about materials and safety.

Certifications: Check for material certifications like 'phthalate-free,' 'body-safe,' or 'medical-grade silicone.' You can also research whether the manufacturer has won any relevant industry or product awards. Check for material certifications like 'phthalate-free,' 'body-safe,' or 'medical-grade silicone.' You can also research whether the manufacturer has won any relevant industry or product awards. Red flags: A strong chemical smell, sticky or tacky texture, and unclear or contradictory material labeling are red flags. Avoid vibrators with visible seams in the material—even if it's silicone—or gaps where bacteria could collect. If for some reason you want to use one of these anyway, again, cover it with a condom. Can I trust retailers to be discreet with their packing when mailing a vibrator? Sex toy manufacturers and feminist sex shops know their audience. In most cases, your sex toy will arrive in plain, opaque packaging and with a label with a shipping name that ranges from discreet to unrecognizable. For instance, SheVibe ships toys from the shipping manager's name, 'SV,' or 'SV Inc.,' and We-Vibe ships toys from 'WOW Tech USA Ltd.' Many other sex toy companies and shops also have shipping pages on their websites that specify the packaging and labeling—a top reason to buy directly from the manufacturer or sex shop instead of from Amazon. Why You Should Trust Our Expertise Ryan Yates shared their deep expertise in sex toys in this guide by addressing the questions about vibrators how to care for them, and key features you should look for. They have been reviewing sex toys and sexual health products since 2011, including for publications like The Daily Beast, Autostraddle, Nylon, and, of course, Reviewed. They were Autostraddle's NSFW Editor from 2013 to 2018, and wrote the weekly NSFW Sunday sex column from 2011 to 2021. Reviewed's various Sexperts tested all the vibrators included in this guide, and you can read more in-depth reviews across the site. What Other Reviewers Are Saying about the Best Vibrators The experts seem fairly united on what the best vibrator is—which is a surprise, since the actual best vibrator is the best vibrator for you. But to save you some time and trouble, we've collected the top picks from other Sexperts. Spoiler alert: the Magic Wand Rechargeable is a crowdpleaser. Wirecutter: Wirecutter's top pick is the Magic Wand Rechargeable, noting that the cordless version is well worth the investment over the corded original. We completely agree. The Strategist: The Strategist's top pick is also the Magic Wand Rechargeable, highlighting its reputation as strong and consistent and noting that while its appearance is no-frills, it gets the job done time and again. Good Housekeeping: GH's best overall vibrator is—surprise—also the Magic Wand Rechargeable, highlighting that it's great for beginners and noting that you, unlike its battery, might need a moment to recharge after use. What Owners Are Saying about Our Best Vibrators While the best vibrator is always at least a little bit personal, user comments about vibrators also love the Magic Wand Rechargeable and our other top picks. We're pulling these user reviews from sources other than Amazon because Amazon isn't the best place to buy sex toys. Reddit/BuyItForLife: Over at Reddit's BIFL, one user posted that an earlier version of our Womanizer Premium 2 pick, still looks and runs like new after seven years of use. Some users affirmed that they can orgasm with it in minutes or seconds. Other users shouted out the Magic Wand. Reddit/SexToys: Over at Reddit's Sex Toys, one user who tested 32 wand vibrators over 7 months determined that the over best was the Magic Wand Rechargeable, noting as well that because it's been around for so long it's compatible with lots of attachments. However, they also note that the BMS Palmpower Extreme was their personal favorite, because of an angled head that makes it easy to hold and easy to position between bodies during sex. On the Dame website, users of the Dame Arc internal G-spot wand give it 4.8 stars and highlight the good design, Dame customer service, and in one case the fact that it survived an accidental trip through the washing machine. And one user notes it's great in combination with—you guessed it—the Magic Wand. Beyond small differences in taste and sensation, the most common complaints about the Magic Wand Rechargeable are that it doesn't look like anything special—including from users noting that it is.
