The Best Sex Toys for Women at a Glance
How We Chose the Best Sex Toys for Women
We took into account ease of use, aesthetics, battery life, type of battery, waterproofing, functionality, size and range of speeds and settings. While this is a list for vulva owners, we included some couples' sex toys that are also stand-out examples that can be used for female-centric solo pleasure. Additionally, we took into account materials, primarily opting for medical-grade silicone, the industry standard for softness, but included some other materials (ABS plastic, metal, glass) that are safer to use with silicone-based personal lubricants. We also took into account actual customer reviews. Those that raved about out-of-this-world O's and those that were less than satisfied by their sexcapades. Bottom line: Sex toys are as varied as the preferences and bodies of the people who use them; in our experience, the more toys you try, the more you learn about what you like.
Best Stimulators
1. We-Vibe Melt Clitoral Stimulator
Made for solo or partner use, this vibrator is a top seller. The handle shape makes it super easy to maneuver and it has 12 vibration modes with different speeds and patterns. One happy customer says, "It's sleek, well made and takes sex to another level." They also mention that it's a bit loud, so if you want to be discreet, you may want to throw on some music. There is an app you can use for partner use, in the same room or long distance.
2. Bellesa AirVibe Pro
What's better than a dual stimulator sex toy? A dual stimulator sex toy with a *remote.* That's right. Bellesa's AirVibe Pro is an upgrade on the brand's standard AirVibe for some distance play. Let someone else take the reins while you sit across from them at the dinner table trying not to squirm. It's got a 6-meter distance range and is fully waterproof and rechargeable. Plus, the dual stimulation of the G-spot and clitoris can be controlled separately and the device is physically flexible to work with all body types and compositions, making for a more user-specific experience. According to the brand, "the AirVibe Pro combines Bellesa’s best-in-class G-spot vibrator technology and our updated Bellesa’s Cinetic Suction 3.0 clit suction Technology. AirVibe’s Pleasure Jets utilize our strongest, purest and quietest suction waves ever. While on the other end, AirVibe incorporates Aurora’s famous G-spot targeting technology." Count us in.
3. Dame Eva II
Like the We-Vibe Chorus and other couples' vibrators, the Eva II is a wearable device. But that’s about all this remarkable toy has in common with others on the market. Intended to be non-invasive, it features a small, rounded body and two flexible “wings,” which are meant to straddle the clitoris for an entirely hands-free experience. This toy isn’t app-enabled like the Chorus, but its compact size and rumbly (rather than buzzy) motor make it a fantastic option for those searching for deep, toe-curling orgasms, either via solo or partnered play.
4. Lovehoney Rose Stimulator
Fitting in the palm of your hand and made with ultra-soft silicone, this rose-shaped vibrator is your last stop if oral is your thing: It combines air pulsation and suction for a mind-blowing experience. There are ten air patterns to test out. Better yet? It's waterproof. Aka all roads lead to the tub.
5. Satisfyer Pro 2 Clitoral Stimulator
If you treat yourself to just one new item off this list, let it be the Satisfyer Pro 2—a mega-popular clitoral stimulator which uses pressure-wave technology to deliver suction-like sensations to all your secret sweet spots. As one customer says, "I'm 42 years old and I really thought for all these years that I was achieving climax. Nope! I had no idea! This amazing toy has pleasured me like no man (or woman) ever has." In her overview of top sex toys, YouTuber Hannah Witton says "This is really good for solo sex because you know where your clit is, and you just pop it on and lock it in, or maybe you massage it a bit and it has a fab handle. But in couples sex, it's harder for the other person to place it and hold it in just the right spot." Designed to recreate the sensation of receiving oral sex, this rechargeable device is equipped with 11 settings and features a thick, silicone-tipped head, which can form a soft-but-firm seal over the clitoris or other areas of the body that you position the device over.
6. Smile Makers The Firefighter
This adorable vibrator has a clitoris-focused shape for direct external pleasure, which can lead to some seriously explosive sessions. It's waterproof and made from premium silicone that's sourced from Japan. Per one buyer, "It's just perfect. The shape, intensity. The design is just cute, discreet and very functional. I love it! It definitely hits the right spots!"
Best Vibrators
7. Lelo Ina Wave 2
This toy boasts a vigorous movement that massages your G-spot to get you to climax in no time. The shorter side is designed to stimulate you externally for extra pleasure. As the second iteration of this toy, it's also 30 percent more powerful than the original according to Lelo.
8. Smile Makers The Tennis Pro
The smooth, waterproof silicone makes this one easy-peasy to clean, and the quiet motor keeps your "me-time," well, me-time—even on the highest vibration speed. And how adorable is that tennis ball inspiration? We'd almost (almost) leave it on your dresser. "Probably one of the more fun vibrators I've used! Truly puts a smile on my face," raves one reviewer.
9. Unbound Babes Bender
While the Bender may look simple to use, the orgasms will be anything but. Due to its dual clitoral and vaginal/anal dual-stimulation and literal namesake bendable qualities, the Bender is the sexiest multi-tool around. It's made to function in a variety of different ways and can work both penetratively, externally or both at the same time for mind blowing sensation. Its shape and design make it the perfect toy for nearly any body regardless of shape, size or type of parts you have. It's also so popular and versatile that it's out of stock on Unbound Babe's website, but lucky for you, we found it online from Anthropologie. You can thank us later.
10. Lovehoney Jessica Rabbit Vibrator
The rabbit vibrator was made famous in the late 1990s thanks to Sex & the City, and, as it turns out, Charlotte's not the only one who is obsessed with it. "The reason this will change your life," according to Lovehoney sexpert Annabelle Knight, "is that it gives you the opportunity to have a dual orgasm—that's when you climax from internal and external stimulation." These dual-action toys have a distinctive shape compared to other vibrators, featuring both a phallic shaft and a clitoral stimulator (which usually has rabbit "ears”) to create fluttery-yet-evocative sensations against the skin. This particular model from the Lovehoney Jessica Rabbit line is one of the most popular toys on the site (surprise, surprise). It boasts three different speeds and seven patterns for more personalized pleasure, and the shaft actually rotates at three separate speeds, too.
11. Desire Luxury Rabbit Vibrator
If you prefer both internal and external stimulation in your solo sessions, this rabbit is right up your alley. There are eight modes of vibration and 12 speed settings to play with. Plus, the shape makes it easy to hold and switch the settings while you're using it. One reviewer says, "[It has a] nice feel, great amount of varied speeds. The rabbit ears are nice and curved for a smooth and less sharp sensation."
12. Maude Vibe + Cone
This latex-free and water-resistant vibrator and anal plug duo is coated in the brand's well-loved buttery-soft silicone. The vibrator offers three speed settings and even has a travel mode setting—press three times to unlock to avoid any accidental vibrations coming from your suitcase.
13. Le Wand Vibrating Massager
This wand vibrator—a type of sex toy that’s known for being incredibly powerful and having a rounded, rotating head that's attached to a thick handle—often gets overshadowed by the extremely similar Magic Wand. One advantage to using Le Wand over the latter, however, is that it has 20 vibration patterns (the rechargeable version of the Magic Wand only has four). You’ll get a lot of intense stimulation from this device, which can be a lot to handle if you’ve never used a vibrator before, but if you want a heavy-duty toy that can also be great for back, neck and shoulder massages, this could be perfect.
14. Je Joue G-Spot Bullet
With five speed settings and seven patterns, this straightforward design may be miniature in size, but it gets the job done with its powerful motor, so even the lowest speed will have your toes curling. It's also rechargeable, so you'll never run out of juice mid-orgasm.
15. Lelo Gigi 2 G-spot Vibrator
G-spot orgasms aren’t always easy to achieve, but the Lelo Gigi 2 is specifically designed with this erogenous zone in mind. One reviewer raves, "This is one of the best toys I've purchased. I have treated myself to a Lelo toy in the past so this was my second time purchasing from them, both times have been consistently great." Made with a flatter-than-average arch at the tip, it can help you explore this elusive pleasure spot, one play session at a time. There are four button controls and eight different vibration patterns, plus, it’s made from supple, body-safe silicone that's ultra-smooth to the touch. To make the most out of the Gigi 2, the brand recommends starting slow by positioning it upside down against your clitoris, which can help you ease into G-spot stimulation—especially if you’ve never tried a toy like this before.
16. Gläs Nubby Glass Dildo
Cinderella may have had a glass slipper, but this glass dildo from Gläs is the stuff fairytales are really made of. This toy also looks absolutely gorgeous in person. Made of hypoallergenic and fracture-resistant glass, it's also specially designed to retain various temperatures of heat and coolness—something that's incredibly important for temperature play. You can stick it in the freezer for an icy shock, or, on the flip side, you could run it under hot water to make it warm to the touch. Another reason to give it a try is that its raised pleasure-increasing nubs make it incredibly versatile for all your sexual needs.
17. Lovehoney Suction Cup Dildo
When you’re shopping for a sex toy like this, one of the most important things to actually consider beyond size is whether or not it has a good suction-cup base. This smooth, 6-inch curved model from Lovehoney has a sturdy one, which means you can stick it to the bottom of a tub, against a tile wall or another hard surface and it will stay firmly in place as you do your business. To step things up even further, it comes with room for a bullet vibrator in its base to give you the best of both worlds.
18. Tenga Iroha Lipstick Vibrator
As a brand, Tenga is largely known for its disposable silicone strokers, which come in plastic, egg-shaped containers and are designed to fit in the palm of one’s hand. But the Iroha line is possibly its best-kept secret, as these small, bullet-style vibrators are surprisingly powerful and made from a pillowy-soft silicone, which can be a pleasure just to touch. This lipstick vibrator is ultra-discreet and can easily fit in a bag or suitcase, making it a solid choice for travel. "I love the shape of the silicone head because it allows you to feel different sensations depending on how you position it," one reviewer reports. While it is battery-operated (a bit of a bummer, considering so many sex toys nowadays are USB-rechargeable), the brand claims it can run for up to five hours at a time, plus, it’s waterproof, so you can take it with you from the bedroom to the shower and everywhere in between.
Best Accessories
19. Liberator Wedge Sex Positioning Pillow
One minute, you’re locked in a steamy embrace with your partner. The next, you’re having to stop and readjust because one of you got a cramp or an ache in your back. "The Liberator helps achieve otherwise unachievable angles—and does so without requiring you or your partner to contort into impossible positions. For the receiver, the contact points that can be easily reached are otherworldly. And for the giver, your knees and arms will allow you to last as long as you can last. The only regret you'll have is that you didn't buy it sooner," says one reviewer. Because it’s angled at 27 degrees, this item can also facilitate deeper penetration and accessibility, so those sex positions you thought were only possible in the Kama Sutra? Yeah, they’re about to become much more obtainable. This pillow also comes with a plush, machine-washable cover, which makes it easy to clean.
20. Akstore Jeweled Plugs
Looking for a gentle way to ease into backdoor stimulation? This set of three differently sized jeweled plugs from Akstore is pretty-but-practical, and could be a terrific investment. Each one has a tapered tip for tender insertion. The sparkly end serves a functional purpose, too, as it’s thick and circular enough that it’ll help keep things from jostling around. While these metal-plated plugs might seem daunting by virtue (they’re not stainless steel, as several reviewers point out), the advantage to using heavy metal is that it's somewhat easier to clean and maintain than silicone and safe to use with all types of lubricants.
21. Maude Shine Organic
The ideal add-on to any sex toy gift or purchase for yourself, this lube is a cut above the usual squeeze bottle of tacky (esthetically and physically speaking) bottle of lubricant. The formula is pH-balanced and free of parabens, and unlike so many lubes that have silicone in them, this lube is safe to use with silicone toys and won't degrade their surfaces. And the brown bottle is cute, with no telltale sex words on it, in case you want to just leave it on your bedside without anyone knowing where, exactly, you're putting it.
22. Doc Johnson Good Head Spray
This oral anesthetic is one of Los Angeles-based manufacturer Doc Johnson's top sellers. Here's how it works: A spray or two spritzed toward the back of the throat before fellatio helps suppress the gag reflex. Flavors include mint, blue raspberry, cherry, watermelon and cinnamon.
Best to Use with a Partner
23. We-Vibe Chorus Couples' Vibrator
Whether bae is right next to you on the couch or traveling across the country for a work trip, the We-Vibe Chorus can help to bridge the gap and bring the two of you closer together. This silicone toy has a bendable C-shape and is intended for simultaneous clitoral and G-spot stimulation. You can use it solo or with a partner, and the toy’s three speeds and seven patterns could provide extra pleasure for a partner during penetration as well, as they’ll be able to feel it too. The Chorus easily connects to We-Vibe’s free app, so you can share control of the device, no matter how near or far. Even the remote control is innovative—the tighter you grasp it, the more intense the toy’s vibrations become.
24. Ohmibod Club Vibe 2
Pop this vibrator in the accompanying lace thong choose from its 20 speed settings yourself, or pass the privilege on to a trusting companion. (The remote works from up to 20 feet away). The curvy shape of the panty vibrator makes sure it hugs the body, and the club mode is a real innovation—a tiny speaker picks up sound from the environment, whether it's loud music at a concert, movie sound effects or a person's voice.
25. Zalo Aya Wearable Vibrator
One five-star reviewer writes, "Love this toy for solo or partner play! It's very comfortable and powerful. The app offers different mode settings, as well as the option to sync to music." This innovative device has a small panty vibrator with eight speeds, as well as an optional internal attachment that simultaneously stimulates the wearer's G-spot.
26. Lelo Tor 2
This smooth matte ring slips over a penis, vibrating in six modes from a whisper to a steady pulse, then when the penis penetrates a partner, they'll share the vibrating pleasure, too. With two buttons that are easy to press in the middle of use, this waterproof, streamlined toy is non-intimidating and intuitive to play with. As one reviewer writes, this gives "nice vibrations in different levels, and it can be placed in different parts of the penis to explore a wider sensation range."
27. MysteryVibe Legato
A real hybrid toy that has something for everyone—and a lot of stimulation, especially, for women—is the MysteryVibe Legato. This flexible silicone vibrator is unique in that it has four motors that stimulate the entire vulvar area, and can continue to do so even during penetration. The 16 vibration intensities provide 360-degree labia arousal, and the device can be stretched to fit exactly your body shape. An added feature we love is that the device can be manipulated by an app or by pushing buttons right on the Legato, so you and your partner have choices of how to play with it. To top it off, the toy comes with a 24-month warranty.
28. Lovehoney Colorplay Nipple Suckers
In a world of sophisticated sex gizmos that sometimes seem as though users need an Intro to Electrical Engineering class to get them up and running, these soft silicone nipple suckers are charmingly low tech. Users just stick them on nipples, and as the purple silicone touches warm flesh (or water, showering sex fans), the material turns bright pink. And these guys stay in place until you pull them off, as gently or roughly as you like. Pro tip: Coat the rim of the sucker with a bit of lube for the tightest and most durable seal.
29. Lovense Lush 3
Three speeds and four vibration patterns are on offer in this wearable toy that stimulates the clitoris and the G-spot. Via the app, one partner can call up a near-unlimited series of pulsations, and even sync the device to music. And at 43 dB sound output, this little guy is quieter than the average multi-motor toy, so it won't kill the vibe. "Not only is the toy easy to use and VERY pleasurable but the battery seems to last forever," writes one reviewer. "And with my partner controlling love vibrations from his phone miles away…it’s hard to feel lonely."
30. Bondage Boutique Bound To Please Restraints
If BDSM is your kind of thing, these bedroom restraints will be your new go-to. They attach underneath the mattress, and the design makes them easy to loosen and tighten. "They are easy to use and set up; love the fact the cuffs can be detached, for the extra use of fastening them together, to get the hands closer together. Although they were bought for her she couldn't resist getting me in them, which added a totally different dynamic which was great," reports one happy buyer.
What Are the Different Types of Sex Toys for Women?
Whether you're looking for internal penetrative stimulation or a full-blown clitoral O, there's a sex toy out there for nearly every desire, but they tend to fall into a number of specific categories. Here are some of the most common types according to Indigo Stray Conger, a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist with Mile High Psychotherapy and ThatSexQuiz.com who we interviewed in a previous piece:
What to Consider When Buying Sex Toys
There are many factors to take into consideration when buying sex toys and a handful of questions that you should be asking yourself as you peruse the aisles for your next tantalizing toy. Each and every product aims to provide different kinds of pleasure and can leave you with wildly different results from totally turned on to checking your watch, so be sure to be discerning. These are some of the things we like to keep in mind whilst shopping:
Where to Buy Sex Toys for Women
Online marketing has been a boon for the sex toy industry, with an increasing number of outlets where you can shop for and purchase sex toys online. According to Chad Braverman, Chief Creative Officer of adult toy manufacturer Doc Johnson, online retailers’ default procedure is to deliver purchases in discreet packaging, although that’s more for theft prevention than shame over sex toy purchasing. “Sex toy shopping hasn’t been closeted for some time,” he says. “Most women I know are not embarrassed by sex toy purchases or use, going back to the Sex and the City episode 20 years ago which was a tipping point to mainstreaming sex toys.”
