26 Best Sex Toys for Couples to Spice Up the Bedroom 2024
In addition to 14 speed and intensity settings, ‘climax control’ allows users to play around with the depth of suction, so you’re bound to find something that works for you. Before you purchase a sex toy, check that it’s body-safe (like all of our picks are). Single-use sex toys are “the most underrated option for first-time sex-toy owners,” according to one SELF sexual wellness writer.
Plus, it can be controlled by buttons on the device or an app-connected smartphone so your partner can pleasure you even from afar. Our testers couldn’t believe how powerful this palm-sized vibrator was, even on the lower speed settings. The vibrations were a bit too intense for some, but if you’re in the market for a small but mighty bullet vibrator, this is a hot contender. Made from soft silicone with a squidgy gel tip, all testers said it was comfortable and easy to use and were impressed with the wide range of settings to explore. Bullet and wand vibrators do the same thing — external stimulation on parts of your body, such as the clitoris. While “bullet” often describes small, bullet-shaped vibrators , Amrich uses that label more broadly to categorize vibrators that focus on clitoral stimulation and aren’t specifically designed to be inserted into the body.
She recommends wrapping a bullet in a soft fabric to help spread the sensation out even further. Here’s a panty vibrator that clips into a pair of underwear with a magnet, so you or a partner can wear it in public without anyone knowing. It’s waterproof viberators, has multiple vibration patterns, and is remote- or app-controllable. Whether you’re in the mood for internal penetration or external stimulation, this waterproof multitasking toy can do both. It has a vibrating dildo at one end and a rose at the other that simulates tongue-licking. What’s more, it’s totally customizable with nine different settings for vibrating and licking.
This makes it a bit harder to clean, as you cannot submerge it, but you can easily wash the silicone cap. Autistic activist Ruby Stone emphasized in our interview that sensory-processing issues can cause certain sounds, textures, or other stimuli to feel extremely unpleasant. It may be preferable to handle the options in person, if possible, before selecting a toy to purchase. This suction vibrator provides diffuse, customizable sensations in a small, convenient size.
(In addition to, you know, your hand.) It seems like they would the natural addition to your sex life. As most vibrators are app-controlled, it’s easy to give your partner the ability to control them remotely—an excellent way to add new thrills to any long-distance relationship. As Carol Queen, sex educator and staff at Good Vibrations says, panty vibes can also be a smart assistive device for anyone who doesn’t have great hand strength or motor control. Nicely, panty vibrators work as external vibrators sans underwear, too, with various vibration patterns and strengths. The best panty vibrators (and vibrating panties) slide inside underwear or are built-in, making for delicious, hands-free partner play.
That can feel great—but some people prefer more targeted stimulation, which is where other smaller massagers come into play, Dr. Litner says. Compact toys can also be easier to hold and control (although using a toy mount or sex pillow can help), may be better for some positions with a partner, and are a great choice for travel too. Although it’s called a cock ring, this sleek little product is a couples’ favorite because it does double-duty as a vibrator and can also stimulate the perineum, making it ideal for a twosome. “The constricted blood flow to the penis and the simultaneous clitoral stimulation during penetration can help both partners reach a prolonged and super intense orgasm,” Starkman says.
