A beginners guide to sex toys

The Pulse Solo Essential is the most pared-down model the brand makes, but if you want a version with a few more cool features (like a remote control) check out the Pulse Duo Lux instead. That’s why the Lelo Ina Wave 2’s game-changing Wave Motion technology makes this rabbit one worth writing about. Mashable culture reporter Jess Joho called the toy “the best that rabbit vibrators have to offer,” and that’s because the internal part of the vibe actually moves inside you, replicating a “come hither” motion. And as gimmicky as it sounds, it actually works pretty freaking well in providing internal stimulation. Thanks to the compact design, it’s ultra discreet and will fit into the palm of your hand nicely – a particularly popular feature among our testers. One of our panellists noted that it didn’t look like a sex toy, so you can easily carry it around with you.

“The We-Vibe Wand 2 is perfect for those who love intense, deep, rumbly vibes that diffuse across a wide surface area for a deeper, more full-bodied sensation,” she tells SELF. If a two-in-one doesn’t impress you, then certainly the three-in-one Vibrato Wand will. While this Playboy Pleasure product may look like a standard wand vibrator, it can also be used as a vibrating dildo or a G-spot massager. The two ends are powered by separate motors, and the handle also twirls to create that come-hither motion that’s so well-suited for G-spot stimulation. Some handles are ABS plastic, which is a hard, nonporous material that’s also safe to use against the skin and also weighs less than other materials (a nice perk), Dr. Litner says. It doesn’t matter if you’re in the market for your first vibe or your 10th—with so many shapes and sizes out there viberator , finding the right one can be tricky (not to mention time consuming).

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.

As SELF previously reported, sex toys can pass along STIs, so safer sex practices apply here. If you’re using a sex toy with someone outside of a sexually monogamous partnership, put a condom over your toy. Condoms are also key if you want to use a toy for both vaginal and anal stimulation (which you can do as long as the toy is safe for anal, a.k.a. it has a flared base). With that being said, each clit is as unique as a snowflake and should be treated as such, according to Lexington, Kentucky-based marriage and family therapist Juliana Hauser, PhD. “Discover if your glans (clitoral tip) likes light vibration or a stronger speed,” she says.

This vibrator gets rid of buttons altogether and is instead controlled completely by the way you squeeze it. Ordering your first vibrator can be intimidating — there are so many shapes, sizes, and materials to choose from. If you are unsure where to start, we’ve created a list of vibrators to fit every beginner’s needs. The top of the toy is great for precise clitoral stimulation, while the wider end provides more general vibration to the vulva. As the Pom is small and quiet, it’s perfect for either solo or partner play. I’ve only experienced the former given the current circumstances, but its lack of noise gave me peace of mind as I don’t live alone.
