‘I had the most intense orgasms ever’: The best vibrators for 2025, tested by 130 women
The shaft is inserted inside the vagina and rumbles to stimulate the G-spot while the sucker positions directly over the clit to stimulate with air technology. This tiny silicone suction toy comes in handy (pun intended) whether you’re enjoying a solo masturbation session or a steamy rendezvous with a partner. It keeps things simple when alone—and arguably is easy to maneuver—and when you’re with a partner it allows the focus to remain with each other while freeing up a second hand. LELO’s developed numerous suction toys, and its newest product is arguably the best in class. This sonic clit stimulator uses sonic pulses that provide deep, earth-shattering pleasure, and the larger mouth gently draws in the clitoris to stimulate both inside and out.
Your vibrator will usually come with a little booklet, including instructions for use and other important safety and maintenance information. In the very least, reading the instructions will give you a rundown of the controls. It’s useful to know, before you take it on a test drive, how to turn your vibrator on and off, as well as how to change between any different vibration patterns and speeds. That menu reads like a Greek diner’s when you see how varied the best male sex toys are these days.
Just know that silicone-based lube can cause silicone sex toys to break down over time. Instead, try water-based lube, which is usually a safe, solid choice for most toys, as SELF has previously reported. Bullet vibrators are tiny sex toys with a pointed tip for targeted external sensation. Many can fit inside a strap-on harness for additional stimulation during pegging and other strap-on sex acts, according to Wright. Egg vibrators are also easy to tuck away and hide, but their round shape fits more comfortably in the palm of your hand. If you enjoy dual stimulation with a nice range of intensity options, Dr. O’Reilly says this two-in-one toy from Lovehoney is a great pick.
As unique as this option may look in my collection of microphone-shaped wand vibes, the curved head makes it easier to hit my hot spots. Often, my wrist cramps up and my arms tucker out from holding a vibrator at the angle I need to pleasure myself—but I’ve never had that problem with the ergonomic Mega Massager. I also love that this budget-friendly pick includes a knobby silicone sleeve that can slide over the smooth attachment for some extra texture. This wand vibrator comes highly recommended by Jessica O’Reilly, PhD, host of the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast and co-author of The Ultimate Guide to Seduction and Foreplay.
Some of the frustration came from the way that the buttons were sunk into the silicone surface of the toy—it felt like some functionality and ease of use was sacrificed for the Strawberry’s appearance. I found the Tenuto Mini most comfortable during solo use, but it’s great with a partner, too. Using a vibrator with a partner , especially during penetration, can sometimes be a challenging (if satisfying) logistical problem. While it feels great for both of us, someone generally has to hold it in place.
She has also written for a variety of publications including Business Insider, Glamour, Bustle, Metro, HuffPost UK, gal-dem and more. Outside of work, Priyankaa can usually be found trying out a new gym class, seeking out London’s best eats or watching a Spanish TV show in a bid to keep up her language skills. Sure enough, it was a big hit with our testers, with one enthusiastic panellist describing it as, “the best vibrator ever”.
Nail the timing, and a simultaneous orgasm isn’t out of the picture. Upon first glance, it didn’t look much different from the many hand-held vibrators on the market, which isn’t a bad thing — but once I started to use it, I realized it was a welcome addition. Perfect for beginners and those who are more experienced vibrators, this super-affordable vibe with adjustable speeds is waterproof and perfect for foreplay. As with most sexual encounters, lube makes everything better when you’re experimenting with toys. Thanks to 20 pulsation patterns and eight different speeds, this device offers serious customization.
