Meet the smart vibrator that wants to help you get better at getting off
A whisper-quiet, lay-on vibrator, the rumbly Womanizer Vibe is uniquely curved to cup your entire vulva.. You can use the broad side’s edges or the pointed tip to directly target your clitoris, Shamyra Howard, PhD, CST, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker and AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. “Its noiseless feature makes it quieter than many other vibes, which allows you to stay focused on the many intense sensations,” she says.
Even if you don’t struggle to have an orgasm, but just want more data on the ones you have, this is your best bet. Of course, you’ll have to be OK with using a vibrator that collects anonymous data about you. With five speed settings and seven vibration pattern options, it’ll work for most people’s stimulation preferences. The soft-touch silicone and jewel-toned color makes it look far more sophisticated than many inexpensive plastic vibrators out there. For obvious reasons, finding an appropriate and enjoyable toy for that period just after you’ve had a baby can be challenging.

Double up on the fun with our two-in-one winner, Lovehoney’s Floral Fantasy Rose , which offers clitoral and G-spot stimulation in a super soft silicone. It’s fully waterproof though and has 10 modes, including three speed settings and seven pulse patterns viberators, which led to a more intense orgasm for most. It’s not the most powerful device but it’s ideal for foreplay and for those who prefer gentle sensations. The battery isn’t rechargeable, and we would have liked a travel pouch for storage and discretion but those were our only quibbles. For some women, stimulating the G-spot – the pleasure point found around 5-8cm inside the front wall of the vagina – can result in stronger, more enjoyable orgasms. So, we tasked a panel of testers with finding the best G-spot vibrators on the market.
Although we recommend this model as a starter vibrator, for some of our testers the hard plastic became slippery and difficult to hold when it came in contact with lubricant. This was not the case with the less expensive Satisfyer Purple Pleasure. While the Luna Ava vibrator is a steal at $30, don’t expect it to replace your Magic Wand anytime soon. We found its vibrations to be more buzzy than rumbly, and the 20 different settings are a nuisance given that there is no back-or-forth button—you have to click through all 20 to return to the one you started with. Waterproof toys made from nonporous materials such as silicone and stainless steel can tolerate washing with soap and warm water. If you have non-waterproof toys, carefully wipe them clean with a solution of soap and warm water.
The VUSH Orb Pleasure Ring is an excellent clitoral vibrator that features dual motors for double the orgasmic joy and 10 pleasure settings for both P and V fun. For vulva owners, the elongated and uber-flexible bunny ears help with targeted clitoral stimulation. It also works as a ‘support’ for extra pleasure during penetrative sex – just nestle it on or on either side of the clit. Then, for penis owners, the toy’s stretchy ring works by restricting blood from flowing back down the phallus, which can help increase sensation. The Lovehoney Power Play is a fantastic choice with its curved tip, strong vibrations and multiple settings to making an exciting addition to any pleasure routine. Made from a silky smooth silicone, this toy is perfect for those exploring G spot stimulation offering 3 speeds and 4 vibration patterns.
