The Best Vibrators You Can Buy in 2024, According to Experts and Reviewers

We spoke to sex experts and sex educators to answer the biggest questions about these sex toys and break down the very best panty vibes for your (uniquely private) pleasure. For far too long , sex toys missed the mark vibrators, especially when it came to people with vulvas. Studies have repeatedly shown that people with vulvas need clitoral stimulation to orgasm, but it wasn’t until 2014 that the first clitoral suction toy hit the market. These days many suction toys (also called clit suckers) have been designed by the people using them.

Boasting over 5000 reviews and an average star rating of 4.7, this toy is a true crowd pleaser and for good reason. A small nitpick would be that the Tenga was a little tough to clean since the silicone around the egg puckers a bit. I found myself having to get in there with a Q-tip to ensure that everything was fully clean — although, I will admit I’m a little obsessive when it comes to toy cleanliness. The finger tether is removable, so you can slip it on and off, depending on how you use it. And even when the tether is off, the vibe stays put, thanks to a squishy finger notch that doesn’t vibrate your fingers numb.

The soft Kanuka handcuffs come with a control cord and are perfect for “low-cutting” (that’s in-the-know speak for low friction) exploration, while the steel-capped rope allows couples to explore impact play. If you and/or your partner only have experience with clitoral orgasms, you might want to explore Lelo’s weighted vaginal beads, also known as Ben Wa balls. Who says rose petals should only be sprinkled romantically across your bed? The compact vibrator has seven suction settings and is waterproof, in case you want to use it in the shower or tub. Available in red or purple, it’s so pretty that you might want to leave it on your nightstand as some sassy home decor instead of tucking it away in a drawer. The Elemi’s quiet “gentle touch” vibration mode — one of 10 options — helps with the discretion factor.

Rechargeable sex toys are better for the environment and your pocket, but bear in mind that you will have to wait for your toy to charge before use. This aesthetically pleasing two-in-one toy, which features a vibrating dildo and an external stimulator, was a big hit with testers. They said it was extremely straightforward to use and would make a great starter toy for couples who are new to sex toys.

Available in silver and rose gold, the pendant can be switched on via a hidden button on its side and it touts surprisingly strong vibrations for its short profile. I had been messing around with the buttons for probably less than two minutes and didn’t get very far into exploring sensations when it was clear I was on the verge of an orgasm and just rolled with it. It was as close to almost instantaneous as I’ve ever gotten in my life. I’m still running into occasional issues with the buttons; I need to change how I grip it apparently, since I naturally hold it tighter as I get closer to climax.

Those who prefer direct pressure should opt for a pinpoint or bullet vibrator, while others may like more diffused vibrations that spread across the vulva, which can be achieved by most wand vibes, grinding toys, and palm vibes. If receiving oral sex is your favorite way to get off, consider a clit suction toy or oral sex stimulator. Our best suction toy and our highest scoring vibrator overall, the Next uses innovative 3D pleasure air technology to produce slow, pulsating sensations our testers loved.

“My wife and I have known about this wands for a long time, but I finally decided it was time we get one since she is highly dependant on clitoral stimulation to reach climax. Believe me when I say if you have a clitoris, you want one of these,” wrote one reviewer. I have never been into masturbation and self pleasure … After hearing from one of my female partners about a biird product, I decided to buy the Namii. The material and colour are amazing, it looks cute and fancy on my nightstand and its functionality is absolutely fantastic. I kid you not, it has given me orgasms as quickly as 10 seconds into using it,” one five-star reviewer wrote.
