Our vibrator buying guide for beginners: How to choose a sex toy
For example, you may want a small vibrator if you plan on using it during penetrative sex, and any vibe you’ll be using anally should have a flared base so it doesn’t get lost inside you. We decided not to test the original Smile Makers’s The Billionaire because it required one AA battery for four hours of use. The redesigned version has a rechargeable battery, but costs $20 more than the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure, and is covered by a lesser warranty. We tried the 6, which is similar in shape and size to a fountain pen. Unfortunately, we found the toy’s vibrations to be a bit buzzy compared to those of the rumbly and similarly shaped We-Vibe Tango (see below). And the Ultra Power Bullet 6’s handle vibrates to an unpleasant degree.
Both Chang and Dr. Lincoln emphasized the importance of cleaning and sterilizing your toys on the reg. All of our products are sourced from reputable manufacturers and are designed to meet the highest industry standards. We understand the importance of using body-safe materials, and our products are free from harmful substances, ensuring you can explore with peace of mind.
“It is very soft and I love how it’s curved to fit,” one reviewer on the Dame website wrote. “This is my first vibrator so I would say it is beginner-friendly and works well.” Last but not least, Love Triangle was the smallest and by far most discreet of the various Satisfyer toys I tried out. Whisper quiet, it’s another air pulsing, pressure wave toy that stimulates your clitoris (or nipples, follow your heart!) along with a subtle vibration function. It’s again not necessarily the tiniest and most intuitive to place for hands-free play but is easily the MVP for travel — coming with a sweet little cap to store it cleanly and quietly on-the-go.
Meanwhile, HelloSexyNerds2 notes that “Lovense Lush has the best connection. I’ve used it in public and love it.” On the other hand viberator, Daddys_littledoe points out that We-Vibe offers “High quality, high powered! OhMiBod and Lush are two brands of remote controlled vibrators, often used on camming sites. Remote controlled vibrators allow you to give them pleasure, even when you’re in different parts of the world. These devices allow you to “touch” your partner in public — without actually laying a hand on them. Your partner wears the device, while you control the sensations they feel.
If you’re looking for more than just clitoral arousal, consider vulva and wand vibrators, explain the pros at Smile Makers. These vibrators are designed to cover more ground (meaning it can massage the labia, vaginal opening, and clitoris all at once), which delivers a different sensation. You can use the Domi with your iPhone, Android, Mac, or PC, making it a great choice for cammers.

Slip it inside and your partner can pleasure your G-spot or prostate via vibrations from a connected smartphone app. There are nine different vibration modes to choose from so you’re bound to find one that you love. It has a warming feature so you don’t have to worry about a cold device touching intimate areas. The size of this more traditional vibrator and dildo isn’t discreet, but despite being a little over 7 inches long, and delivering high-intensity buzz, it stays quiet.
The key is to make sure that there are no rough or sharp bits in the toy that could scratch your penis while you use it. This vibrator is small and actually quiet , which makes it perfect for solo or partnered use. One of my favorite things about Maude’s Vibe is that there’s no fuss. There’s one button, serving to both the on/off switch and to increase/decrease the intensity. Maude has three intensities and one pattern, a smooth persistent buzz.
