17 Best Clitoral Sex Toys for Amazing Stimulation
“You’ll be surprised by how much this tiny, unobtrusive thing can do,” Weiss says of longtime fan-favorite, the Crave Vesper. The fact that it doubles as sleek, chic vibrator, eye-catching jewelry is the cherry on top of the sundae. Check that you’re happy with the size – it may be bigger or smaller than you thought. If there’s a vibe gathering dust underneath your bed right now (no judgement), adding an attachment can make a huge difference. The original Magic Wand is corded, so it will never die on you in the middle of a session (so not cool). But if you don’t have an outlet nearby, you may want to try the brand’s rechargeable model instead.
Plus, it can be controlled by buttons on the device or an app-connected smartphone so your partner can pleasure you even from afar. Our testers couldn’t believe how powerful this palm-sized vibrator was, even on the lower speed settings. The vibrations were a bit too intense for some, but if you’re in the market for a small but mighty bullet vibrator, this is a hot contender. Made from soft silicone with a squidgy gel tip, all testers said it was comfortable and easy to use and were impressed with the wide range of settings to explore. Bullet and wand vibrators do the same thing — external stimulation on parts of your body, such as the clitoris. While “bullet” often describes small, bullet-shaped vibrators, Amrich uses that label more broadly to categorize vibrators that focus on clitoral stimulation and aren’t specifically designed to be inserted into the body.
“Some like to tap [external vibrators] back and forth on the glans, clitoral shaft, and labia,” Juliana Hauser, PhD, a Lexington, Kentucky-based marriage and family therapist, previously told Allure. You always want to buy a toy made with body-safe materials like stainless steel, silicone, and borosilicate glass. Silicone toys are the most popular but always remember to pair them with water-based lube to avoid breaking down the material. Few things are more disappointing than receiving a new sex toy only to discover that it doesn’t work for you. One way to reduce the odds of this happening is to buy a vibe that has at least 5 different intensity settings, so that (hopefully) even if some of them don’t work for you, others will. Some vibrators also have patterns, such as pulsing or wave-like vibrations , which can make the toy even more versatile.
The Satisfyer Pro 2 is waterproof and easy to clean, though it is a bit loud before it creates a suction, so you may want to use this toy under some covers. The Satisfyer Pro 2 uses a pulsing sensation that provides the feel of sucking against your clitoris. In fact, it has a little notch that slips over your clitoris and creates a bit of suction, giving you a true-to-life mouth feeling. To help narrow down the best of what’s available, I tested a variety of vibrators all with their own specific use case. There were couple’s vibrators and bullet models, as well as finger-worn vibes and suction models. I’ve also included some insight into the testing methodology I used at the end of this guide.
“Silicone or glass dildos are the best quality,” says Khalili, and this set doubles down on the latter option. One is pink and one is clear; the pink dildo is curved, with nodules along the shaft and bulbed tips at either end. If you and your partner are interested in exploring BDSM but are not into the black-leather vibe, this kit, with pre-tied knots made of natural fiber, is a good place to start.
In addition to 14 speed and intensity settings, ‘climax control’ allows users to play around with the depth of suction, so you’re bound to find something that works for you. Before you purchase a sex toy, check that it’s body-safe (like all of our picks are). Single-use sex toys are “the most underrated option for first-time sex-toy owners,” according to one SELF sexual wellness writer.
According to Hot Octopuss, this toy has sold over two million units, and once you’ve felt the vibrations yourself, you’ll understand why. They’re super rumbly, meaning they’re low-pitched and go beyond surface-level for a fuller, more satisfying sensation. We also like that it’s compact and comes with its own travel pouch so you can bring the fun on the road with you.
It scored well for its design, which testers described as “discreet” and “aesthetically pleasing”. They also raved about its simple-to-use controls, which delivered quiet waves of pleasure and resulted in an “intense orgasm” for one happy tester. Not only were panellists able to climax faster than with other toys, the massage wand also increased the intensity of their orgasms.
