‘I had the most intense orgasms ever’: The best vibrators for 2025, tested by 130 women
The same goes for the phallus—the erectile tissue goes deep into your body, and stimulating it with a vibrator can provide a new and exhilarating experience. For vibrators viberators, you want them to be made with 100 percent platinum-cured silicone and/or ABS plastic. Hard glossy plastic is OK for parts that don’t touch your genitals, but platinum silicone is nonporous, easy to clean, and body-safe. Unlike lesser grades of silicone, platinum silicone doesn’t give off any weird smells or compounds that may be unpleasant or even harmful to your genitals. That’s because it’s chemically different from other kinds of silicone. Surgical steel (also called 316 stainless steel), and borosilicate glass are just as body-safe, durable, and nonporous but less common in vibrators and more common in dildos.
The last thing anyone wants to do during sex is troubleshoot gadgets. It features a dual motor; one in the bendable shaft and the other in the ‘rabbit ears’. This helped most of our testers have a more intense orgasm with half reaching climax faster than normal.
But I would happily take back many hours I’ve spent contrasting Ram’s Head, Triangle, and Sovtek versions, and their clones—all to arrive at the conclusion that they all sound awesome in their own right. One dude that has spent about a million hours dissecting Muff tone minutiae is EarthQuaker Devices founder Jamie Stillman. Hisefforts to reverse engineer his pal Dan Auerbach’s unique-sounding Sovtek Muff begat theHoof, which remains among EarthQuaker’s most enduring and successful products.
In this article, we have all the ways you can clean and properly store your vibrators and your non-motorized sex toys. This good-looking toy from Swedish sexual wellness brand Smile Makers was a firm favourite among our panel thanks to its multi-tasking abilities. After 13 years in the sexual wellness industry, it’s not a huge exaggeration to say I’ve tried close to 1,000 sex toys. Everything I’ve ever tested from Crave has been excellent , and naturally, that extends to the Vesper Mini.
Given its size and the lack of a travel pouch, the wand isn’t the best toy for travel — but for a solo or partnered date at home, it’s perfect (dare I say, magic). Depending on what position you’re in, it can be super awkward to reach down during sex to change the settings on a vibrating cock ring—but not this one, which can be controlled on your phone via We-Vibe’s app. It amps up the sensations of penetrative sex, and can also be a fun addition to masturbation. And like most cock rings, it provides a little compression at the base of your shaft that can help you maintain a stronger erection.
Clitoral suction stimulators are designed to replicate the sensation of oral sex, and this winning Womanizer toy is a top-tier option. Every product below has been tested by at least five people, who made sure it lived up to any claims made on the box. This included trying every speed setting, vibration type and any accompanying apps, as offered by toys like Lovense’s App-Controlled Love Egg Vibrator. Hard plastic and silicone toys are easiest to clean with anti-bacterial soap and cool or warm water.
She suggests reading the directions (yes, many sex toys have directions — read them!) and cleaning them after every use. It’s also crucial to communicate with your partner if they’re using the toy too roughly. The Duo 2 is a unique premium rabbit sex toy – a Pleasure Air clitoral stimulator and powerful G-Spot dual vibrator combined to create advanced, blended orgasms. Lawless also thinks there are other products that may have been designed with older adults specifically in mind, but that don’t necessarily market to them specifically.
After 20 minutes of consistent use, the Hitachi shuts off for safety reasons (presumably, because the toy gets hotter the longer it’s on) and to preserve battery life. But for the most part, this isn’t an area too many companies seem comfortable approaching just yet. For example, one sex toy designer did chuckle when I made the hypothetical suggestion of sex toys specifically made and marketed for older users. Among the companies that are consciously working to address and court this demographic is Tantus, which has been actively creating sex toys with disabled users in mind for years. There’s also the Fiera pre-intimacy vibrator for generating arousal, whose creators told Mic it’s made with seniors in mind.
When I removed the Mini from my neck, I could easily hold it between my index and middle finger—I have small hands—and it couldn’t be seen. In fact, the only time the Vesper Mini might become indiscreet is if you play with it in public. That’s why I kept my Mini time behind closed doors, having never been much of an exhibitionist. While both the Vesper and Vesper 2 have four vibration intensities to choose from, the pattern setting on the newer model is now a wave-like sensation as opposed to the original’s pulsing.
