Pros
Incredibly quiet and discreet
Non-intimidating in design
Cons
Has limited vibration modes
Not meant to be fully submerged in water
Just starting out on your sex toy journey? This teardrop-shaped massager is a must. Made with 100 percent platinum-grade silicone, this palm-sized stunner is anything but intimidating. It features three speeds, a fluttery tip, and an incredibly quiet motor. And it even comes with a travel lock and a cute canvas travel pouch, so you can take it with you to go.
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 3 speeds
- Run time: Up to 2.5 hours
- Waterproof? No, only water-resistant
Pro Tip: To activate travel mode, simply hold the power button down for three seconds until you feel two quick pulses. Then, to deactivate, press and hold again. Easy peasy!
Glowing Customer Review: "I’m definitely a beginner in the sex toy world, and the vibe seemed less intimidating than a lot of other vibrators— just super sleek and simple. Works without fail every time, and I cannot imagine life without it now!"
Pros
Shape is compact and incredibly versatile
Great quality for the price
Cons
Vibration may be too weak for some
Power button is v sensitive, according to some testers
Fact: plusOne is changing the damn game with its amazingly affordable line of sex toys, all of which are waterproof, made with body-safe silicone, and—best of all—rechargeable (a rarity with budget vibrators!). One of its most popular offerings is this petite palm-sized vibe, which features 10 vibe settings and can be used on your vulva, clitoris, nipples...or anywhere else you want, really.
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 10 settings
- Run time: Up to 2 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Cup this one against your vulva for broad stimulation, or hold the tip to your clitoris for pinpoint stimulation.
Glowing Customer Review: "I was a little hesitant...but the affordable price point made it easier to decide. The curved shape feels so comfortable for my hands (no cramping!) and fits comfortably against me. The vibes are varied and strong enough to meet my needs, but it's quiet enough to be discreet. 10/10."
Pros
Approachable enough for newbies
Wide mouth can accommodate most bodies
Cons
Def not the quietest option
Gentler than some had hoped
An ideal pick for beginners, Aer uses pressure wave technology to mimic the flutter of a tongue and the suction of a mouth for a truly knee-buckling experience. You can also easily target the area with five different speeds and five pulsing patterns, and according to Cosmo's sex and relationships editor Veronica Lopez, it'll give ya the feeling of "receiving actual oral heaven."
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 5 speeds and 5 patterns
- Run time: Up to 1.5 hours on highest setting
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Use a small amount of water-based lube on the toy's mouth to mimic the wetness you feel from an actual mouth (and to add some extra slickness!).
Glowing Customer Review: "This was my first try at an air pulse stimulator and I couldn't be happier! Aer is easy to use, comfortable to hold, and the ability to slowly increase between intensity levels is ingenious. My only complaint is that I didn't decide to get one sooner!"
Pros
Compact size is ideal for travel
So cheap yet so powerful!
Cons
Not a great choice for those with sensitive clitorises
Battery life isn't the best
Not looking to drop a ton of cash on a sex toy? A bullet vibe is one of the cheapest vibes you can get, and this rechargeable option is coated with silky silicone, so you can feel confident using its 10 different settings on your clit, nipples, and other ~sensitive areas.~ Best of all: It’s tiny and so discreet, allowing you to take it just about anywhere!
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
- Modes: 10 settings
- Run time: Up to 40 minutes
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: When you first turn this toy on, the first vibe setting is actually the strongest one, so click the button a few times if you want a gentler speed.
Glowing Customer Review: "All I can say is WOW!!! This tiny little vibe packs a serious amount of power. I love the variety of settings that it has and the different sensations that come from them. This is a serious step up from my last bullet vibrator."
Pros
Squeeze-activated remote is so intuitive
Able to be controlled by app or remote
Cons
Has a bit of a learning curve
Pretty $$$
Looking to add rumbly, hands-free vibrations to penetrative sex or a solo session? Then pls check out the Cosmo-approved We-Vibe Chorus, which features 10 vibe modes, touch-sensitive receptors, and a squeeze-activated remote. Shaped like a U, this bb provides dual stimulation and remote-control capability, making it a great choice for partnered sex and discreet public play.
- Use: Internal and external
- Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
- Modes: 10 settings
- Run time: Up to 1.5 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Squeezing the toy’s remote increases the power of the vibration, mirroring the natural instinct to tighten your grip as pleasure intensifies.
Glowing Customer Review: "This thing is a game-changer. The feeling it gives for partnered sex is incredibly intense and amazing. I thought that maybe it might get in the way or make things uncomfortably tight, but neither is the case. In fact, I enjoy the feeling of a little extra pressure from having this in me at the same time as my partner."
Pros
Srsly flexible and versatile
So easy to hold and operate
Cons
Could be quieter
More buzzy than rumbly, which not everyone loves
This flexible internal vibe from Unbound may not look like much, but reviewers agree: Bender is the real deal. Great for both internal and external stimulation, Unbound’s bendy toy features 10 speeds and patterns and a super-strong motor to help you find that sweet spot. And while it's not the quietest sex toy out there, it's still pretty damn discreet (not to mention perfect for travel).
- Use: Internal and external
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 10 settings
- Run time: Up to 2 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: If you struggle with wrist or joint issues, this toy is a fab pick since the bendable shape allows it to do most of the work for you.
Glowing Customer Review: "Bender is really soft and comfortable, and the charge lasts forever. It’s great for slow, relaxing sessions, but works great if you need something quick, thanks to all of its settings! The vibrations are strong and really radiate throughout your whole body. I definitely suggest this for anyone new to toys."
Pros
Elliptical motion is *so* unique
Offers intense clitoral stim without leaving you numb
Cons
Skews pricey if you're on a budget
May feel a bit too intense for more sensitive folks
One of the most clitoral vibes ever (seriously), the DOT uses its soft, bendable pinpoint tip to create v unique elliptical movements on any of your erogenous zones, reaching every! last! nerve ending! It features eight pleasure patterns with varying intensities, all in an adorable palm-sized package—and for more glowing deets, you can check out associate sex and relationship editor Kayla Kibbe's full review.
- Use: External only
- Materials: Silicone and ABS plastic
- Modes: 8 settings
- Run time: Up to 2 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: For an additional $20, you can upgrade to the LELO DOT Cruise, which uses "cruise control" technology to up the intensity when it's pressed closer against your body.
Glowing Customer Review: "This has been my favorite toy so far, as it's both ergonomic and stands true to how it's been advertised. The way that I would describe the movement is a very rapid, almost like a fluttering '8.' Another advantage this toy has is that it doesn't leave you numb like traditional vibrators, since the silicone tip merely taps/flutters on you."
Pros
Comes with three size options
Great for exploring backside action
Cons
May not do much for more experienced folks
Some wish handles were a bit longer
If you're looking to dip your toe into the world of butt stuff, an anal trainer kit may be worth the investment, like this presh trio from Cake. Tush Pops are made with body-safe silicone, and the set includes three different size options to help you ease into backside play, as well as flared bases for easy removal—and all for a little more than $30, too!
- Use: Internal and external
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: N/a
- Run time: N/a
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Unlike the vagina, the anus is not self-lubricating. Make sure you use plenty of water-based lube with these, and go slow, starting with the smallest plug and using for just a few minutes at a time.
Glowing Customer Review: "As the tag line says, these are great for beginners and those who want to wear these for hours at a time. The base is slim, the T design is comfy, and the material is safe and soft and easy to clean. The sizes are graduated but similar, so you can work your way up to something feeling fuller."
Pros
Attachments allow for many different ways to play
So powerful yet so quiet!
Cons
Not all testers were impressed with the vibe strength
Shouldn't be used in the shower
It's giving ~luxury.~ This innovative toy comes with three attachments, so you can play with a variety of sensations like pinpointed clit stimulation, internal vibes, and penetrative vibrations (and all with motor revolutions up to 10,000 times per minute!!). Plus, it looks like it belongs in a museum with all that gold detailing. For even more attachments, you can also update to the Bess 2, which includes an anal beads attachment.
- Use: Internal and external
- Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
- Modes: 8 settings
- Run time: Up to 3 hours
- Waterproof? No, only splashproof
Pro Tip: The ball-shaped attachment is ideal for point-to-point clit stim, while the petal-shaped attachment is nice for those who like a teasing, tickling sensation.
Glowing Customer Review: "My first toy that I actually think is pretty to look at, which is somehow a much bigger deal than I thought. Love the different settings, and you can concentrate the power at either end. I have a history of pain/problems with penetration, but the insertable attachment went in no problem. Also like that the handle is long enough to try different angles/positions."
Pros
Girth is slim enough for beginners to handle
Warming feature is such a nice touch
Cons
Battery life could be improved
Buttons are on the small size and tricky to press
You'll find a bunch of next-level rabbit vibes at JimmyJane, but the newest (and probs the best) is the Reflexx Rabbit 3. Complete with independently-controlled dual motors (which feature 10 vibe modes each) and over five inches of insertable length, this incredibly flexy toy is a total game changer. Plus, it has a warming mode to aid with pelvic relaxation, so you can sit back and enjoy the ride.
- Use: Internal and external
- Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
- Modes: 10 settings per end
- Run time: Up to 45 minutes
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Press and hold the middle button for three seconds to activate the warming mode, which will warm your toy to just above body temperature for an extra-realistic feel.
Glowing Customer Review: "Oh my goodness, this is the finest toy I've ever got to play with! The modes are so powerful that you will tremble with delight! I truly adore this, use it frequently, and I highly recommend this!! I guarantee you won't be let down."
Pros
Provides internal and external stim simultaneously
Packed with tons of vibe patterns and intensity levels
Cons
So! Expensive!!
Takes some time to find the right position
No, it's not cheap. But this toy (which is touted as one of the best toys out there to stimulate oral sex) costs big bucks for a reason. The legendary Duo 2 creates a seal around your clitoris with powerful air pulses while simultaneously targeting your internal hot spots with rumbly vibrations—and in addition to boasting 14 intensity levels and 10 vibration patterns, this luxe vibe even has an "Afterglow" function for a relaxing finish.
- Use: Internal and external
- Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
- Modes: 14 speeds and 10 patterns
- Run time: Up to 2 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: This bb has a Smart Silence function, which means the toy will only turn itself on when it’s in close contact with your body.
Glowing Customer Review: "Having both a clitoral and vaginal orgasm at the same time is out of this world. The arch is beyond perfect—it's so quiet, pliable, both soft and firm, has multiple options for both zones [and] two different clitoral mouth pieces for precision, and targets every dream zone imaginable. Thank me later."
Pros
Much quieter than most wand vibes
Operation is v intuitive
Cons
A bit bulkier than some would like
Vibes could be rumblier, per some testers
The problem with a lot of wand vibes: They're noisy AF. But that's not a problem with this pretty azure vibe from Lovehoney, which is both discreet and a damn powerhouse. Thanks to its three-button control panel, this wand makes it easy to switch between the 12 vibration modes, and the built-in travel lock helps ensure that your toy stays silent until you're ready to play.
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 5 speeds and 7 patterns
- Run time: Up to 1 hour
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Between the five speeds and seven pattern options, this toy will let you experience a whopping 35 (!!) different pleasure combinations.
Glowing Customer Review: "Mon Ami is exactly what I was looking for. [It's] simple and easy to use, and I like that it doesn't have a bunch of random vibration modes—just straight vibration at different levels of strength. And it is very quiet compared to my last vibrator. It's super cute, beautiful color, and works great."
Pros
Provides firmer stim than silicone toys
Can be used for temperature play
Cons
Not as girthy as some would like
Some wish it included a storage pouch
If you're looking to experiment with temperature play or experience firmer stimulation, then you may wanna give glass sex toys a try—and this stunner is a good place to get started. The ribbed structure of this curvy dildo provides ridge-by-ridge excitement during vaginal or anal play, and the delicately curved shaft makes it easier to control and handle, no matter which end you're using. Oh, and that purple hue is just *chef's kiss.*
- Use: Internal or external
- Material: Borosilicate glass
- Modes: N/a
- Run time: N/a
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Since this dildo is made from glass rather than silicone, you can use it with any kind of lube, including silicone- and oil-base lubricants, which tend to last longer than water-based lube.
Glowing Customer Review: "I was a bit leery of it at first. But once I warmed it under warm water, OH MY! This is now my favorite toy hands down! It can be used warm or cold, [and] the ribbing makes for a very intriguing feeling internally. I LOVE this and will be using it every chance I have!""
Pros
So easy to bend, pose, and manipulate
Can be controlled via the MysteryVibe app
Cons
Vibration patterns can be a bit distracting
Could be a bit longer (though size is nice for travel!)
Known as the world's only bendable internal vibrator, MysteryVibe's dual-motor Poco is designed to mimic a finger, allowing it to bend, reach, and stimulate wherever you'd like it to go. It's amazingly compact, super discreet, equipped with 16 settings, and can be controlled via MysteryVibe's app. Fun!
- Use: Internal or external
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 16 settings
- Run time: Up to 2 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Using a directional vibe like Poco can help strengthen your pelvic floor and treat vulvar pain conditions, like vulvodynia and dyspareunia.
Glowing Customer Review: "You will not be disappointed! Using Poco is like having an ultra-thick, dual motor-controlled finger pleasure you that—unlike most human fingers—won’t get tired. It’s pretty perfect."
Pros
Has simple one-button interface
Magnetic charging case makes transport so easy
Cons
A bit more intense than some were expecting
Tends to overheat on higher settings, per a few reviewers
Measuring just about the size of a tube of lipstick (and looking just like one, too), this precision-point bullet vibe from Vush is legit the epitome of discretion. It's also got 10 vibration settings, easy single-button operation, and a handy magnetic charging case that allows you to simply toss it in your bag.
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
- Modes: 10 settings
- Run time: Up to 1 hour
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Just like a pair of AirPods, this cute toy comes with a protective charging case that juices it up while you travel.
Glowing Customer Review: "This is the best bullet vibe that I've tried. It's great value for money, the material feels awesome and looks good, and [it] has a very comfortable design. The lid is also a massive plus for storage and transport—no need to hide it away in the back of a drawer. I could not recommend it more!"
Pros
So! Damn! Rumbly!
Battery is incredibly long-lasting
Cons
Can't be used in the shower or bath
Charging cable is a lil finicky
Known as the world's first weighted rumble wand, this stunner boasts a unique weighted motor that produces incredibly rumbly (yet surprisingly quiet) vibrations. You'll flip for the super flexible neck, textured handle, five speeds, three patterns, and the fact that the design allows for vibration to stay in the head, not the handle.
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone and aluminum
- Modes: 5 speeds and 3 patterns
- Run time: Up to 6 hours
- Waterproof? No, only splashproof
Pro Tip: In addition to using this one for A+ clit stim, people with prostates can press the Vim against the perineum for indirect P-spot stimulation.
Glowing Customer Review: "This is a great way to spend an evening…Just settle back and let the rumbling vibrations take you away! It is unlike any other vibrator—it is almost like others just skim the surface—and with this one, it penetrates deep into your body! Solid five-star product."
Pros
Provides both broad and targeted stim
Flame-shaped head is so innovative
Cons
Vibe modes are a bit limited
A bit too firm for some testers
This isn't your run-of-the-mill clit stimulator, y'all. With its flame-shaped head and rounded nose, the Firefighter provides both targeted clitoral stim and a broader labia massage, using four speeds and two pulsation patterns to unlock all your hot spots. It's silky-soft and super-quiet, and the easy-to-hold design is a definite crowd-pleaser.
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 4 speeds and 2 patterns
- Run time: Up to 3 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Although it shouldn’t be used for vaginal penetration, this toy is great for teasing the sensitive area at the entrance of the vagina.
Glowing Customer Review: "This is a game changer. It gives THE most intense orgasms, and I love the fact that you can switch up speeds and rhythm. It’s also super quiet, which is handy! The shape is so unique, and I love the fact that it stimulates the whole labia!"
Pros
Seriously discreet and whisper-quiet
Stainless steel gives it a v sophisticated lewk
Cons
Not as powerful as some people would like
Only has four speed levels and one wave pattern
It really doesn't get much more discreet than this. Made with stainless steel, the Wink+ (which is about the size of a mascara tube) comes with a removable silicone cap, five power levels, and a v long-lasting battery life. Reviewers also love that it's waterproof, whisper-quiet, and SO, so powerful for its size.
- Use: External only
- Material: Stainless steel and silicone
- Modes: 4 speeds and 1 patterns
- Run time: Up to 5 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: For a softer, silkier sensation, slip the included silicone cap over the tip of your toy (but make sure you clean it well after use!).
Glowing Customer Review: "Holy cow. Wink might be whisper quiet, but it produces screaming orgasms! It leaves me satisfied. Every. Time. I love playing with the levels. You won't be sorry you got this. Open it up, put on some sexy tunes, and enjoy everything this toy has to offer."
Pros
Dual-density silicone feels incredibly realistic
Suction-cup base is strong and harness-compatible
Cons
May be too girthy for some users
Def pricier than most dildos (but so high-quality!)
Looking for a lifelike dildo? It doesn't get any more realistic feeling than this platinum-cured silicone stunner from female-owned brand Vixen Creations. The Mustang boasts a solid inner core and an outer layer made with Vixen's patented VixSkin silicone that feels *just* like the real deal—and yep, that non-slip base is harness-compatible.
- Use: Internal and external
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: N/a
- Run time: N/a
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Want more ways to play? Slip the Mustang into a harness to explore strap-on sex and pegging (and make sure you use plenty of water-based lube!).
Glowing Customer Review: "If you haven't gotten a VixSkin toy before, it's worth paying a bit extra to try their dual-density silicone. It has a firm inner core, with softer, squishier silicone on the outside. While no toy feels like a real penis, VixSkin is definitely as close as I've ever felt. The Mustang is a modest and comfortable size, and I'd recommend it to anyone—even if it's your first toy."
