Durex Play Slim Vibrator Sex Toy Waterproof 8 Vibrations

Phthalates have come under fire for their potential to affect human health (the scientific jury is still out, according to the CDC) but in the name of “better safe than sorry,” you can easily find sex toys that are phthalate-free. This is any vibrator designed specifically to make the outside of your body feel incredible. People typically use them on their clitoris, labia, and vulva, but you can try them for external stimulation on any part of your body you like.

Given its size and the lack of a travel pouch, the wand isn’t the best toy for travel — but for a solo or partnered date at home, it’s perfect (dare I say, magic). Depending on what position you’re in, it can be super awkward to reach down during sex to change the settings on a vibrating cock ring—but not this one, which can be controlled on your phone via We-Vibe’s app. It amps up the sensations of penetrative sex, and can also be a fun addition to masturbation. And like most cock rings, it provides a little compression at the base of your shaft that can help you maintain a stronger erection.

“This tiny vibrator’s size makes it perfect for partner play, since it can be discreetly slipped into an overnight bag for a spicy sleepover,” says Alvarez Story. Indeed, it’s one of the smallest bullets available that also manages to be decently strong. With one button for toggling through both settings and speeds, it’s easy to use and even waterproof for bathtime fun. While its less-intense settings may not be ideal for those who enjoy (or need) a powerful vibe, my clitoris is incredibly responsive, so the fact that I could use the Vibrato sans-panties was a huge perk for me. I also love that while the handle-turned-dildo portion can vibrate, it only does so when turned on; when it’s not activated, it doesn’t buzz at all. This means when I used the toy as a wand vibrator, my hand didn’t numb out—a common complaint I have with some other vibes.

Also neat is that half of the underbelly is ridged, for some added texture. He also independently reviews new products in the wellness space for Good Housekeeping, which he has done previously for Martha Stewart Living and Cooking Light. These testers evaluated aspects like connectivity, ease of use, adaptability and flexibility for personal use in the bedroom, and upkeep and cleaning aspects after intimacy. Reviews were coordinated over the span of a minimum of two weeks, if not longer.

With the Satisfyer Pro 2, you can experience the explosive goodness of oral sex all on your own. Designed by sex-pert Tracey Cox, its sleek viberator, ambiguous look and small size are both geared toward inconspicuous use. Just slip it inside your bag, backpack, or purse (or elsewhere, ladies) for intense pleasure at a moment’s notice. It’s better to think about these factors before shopping, so you can avoid any unpleasant surprises after purchase.

But if you’ve got a ring that’s flexible enough, like this favorite of Zizelman’s, it can be stretched around the base of your shaft and your balls, increasing its positive effects. «Around the shaft, you are going to get restricted blood flow to help keep a strong and longer-lasting erection,» Zizelman says. But despite the balls and scrotum typically being relegated to a supporting role (if that) in any given sexual encounter, there are countless inventive ways to stimulate them. For instance, cupping them, stroking them, and tugging on them can feel good. Vibrators, cock rings, and ball-stretchers can all create interesting scrotal sensations.

KIIROO’s Pulse Solo Interactive can help anyone with a penis feel as if they are being touched intimately by a partner, even if they aren’t in the room. Its sturdy silicone exterior is soft to the touch , meaning users can slip into the device without much preparation and begin experiencing top-notch vibrations with the click of a button.
