A Complete Guide to Using Vibrators in Public Magic Motion

While it’s the size and shape of a skipping stone, the aptly named Pebble is anything but rock-hard—instead, it’s made of ultra-squishy silicone. Find sex pillows, sex toys based on your zodiac, and more on our sex toys page. You can also opt to add a remote control to this vibrator, which, if you so choose, has a 32-foot radius.

Don’t be deceived by its size – this petite vibrator stimulates the clitoris with a powerful tapping sensation, with the help of three speeds and six vibration patterns. Our in-house team of reviewers has collectively tried over 500 sex toys—the ones we featured here are amongst their tried-and-true faves. We also asked sex educators and therapists to share the products that have been the biggest game-changers in their clients’ and patients’ solo and partnered sex lives. The final list only includes options that earned two enthusiastic thumbs up. Our favorite palm vibe, the Le Wand Point viberator, has a sleek stainless steel handle and an uber-soft ridged silicone tip. The heavier steel end allows the toy to provide more pressure than an all-silicone option, Finn previously told SELF.

Though obviously that should be the case for any vibe, it’s nice that there’s a toy out there that markets itself as such and leans in to the different ways different bodies can enjoy some buzz. If you’re not looking for more intense direct stimulation, the Tango might be a bit too much. It is also on the pricier end, but if you want a bullet vibe that’ll last for a while and that you’ll actually want to use time and time again, we say the Tango is well worth the investment. The other aspects of the Poet’s design are just as impressive, with the finger-pad sized indents on its sides making it both easy for holding and squeezing, which adjusts the vibration and pulse speed. So yes, it’s a little pricey , but it has the features that back the price up, and still, it’s still cheaper than the Womanizer Premium or Lelo Sila.

If a toy was rechargeable, versatile, durable, waterproof, easy to clean, or covered by a solid warranty, we considered those attributes to be bonuses. Many people said they also desired an aesthetically pleasing toy with multiple color options. As part of my research for this guide, I consulted sex educators and owners of sex-toy shops. I’ve also consulted all manner of sex-toy users, from first-timers to people who use vibrators daily, including cis and trans people across gender identities and sexualities. No toy offers the level of power and intensity as the widely beloved Magic Wand.

Not everyone rated the unique design – a few testers found it awkward to manoeuvre – but you can’t win ‘em all. The instructions could have been clearer, and the unusual design may take some getting used to, but we think it’s worth the effort. Given how simple it was to get started, there was nothing to stop our panel from reaching intense orgasms, with many saying they planned to continue using this product long after testing had finished.

There can be a bit of a learning curve in terms of optimal positioning when using this toy, as applying too much pressure may cause the tongue’s motion to stall. We loved its simple, utilitarian design and powerful vibrations (with three intensity modes), as well as its relatively affordable price. Unfortunately, two long-term testers encountered issues with the toy’s lithium-ion battery bricking within or just after the one-year warranty period, particularly if they didn’t keep it consistently charged. Keeping sex toys clean is extremely important for helping to prevent sexually transmitted infections, especially if you share your toys with partners.
