D I.Y Sex Toys: Self-Love Edition

That’s why a lot of them have started using remote control vibrators. Interactive sex toys like OhMiBod and the Lovense Lush 3 can be activated by tips. That means more viewers and more money make their toy buzz relentlessly. Plus, it’s whisper quiet and 100% waterproof, making it a versatile toy for any situation.

While it can be tough to assess a toy’s noise level online, we recommend skimming reviews to see what shoppers have to say. When she is not writing about the latest expert reviewed products, you can find her rifling through vintage shops or car boots, reading a print magazine, or capturing portraits on her film camera. Of course, cleaning protocols vary depending on material and waterproofing capabilities.

When I first got my hands on one shortly after Vesper hit the market , I was blown away by the concept. It was a symbol of sex positivity viberator, a reminder that owning our sexual pleasure is an essential facet of being human—plus it’s a great conversation starter. It also made me feel like I belonged to a private club, especially if I ran into someone else rocking one around their neck.

We’ve scoured our favorite online sex toy shops for vibrators, dildos, penis rings, and other toys that are intuitive to use and more importantly, a lot of fun. Buying a vibrator or other sex toy for the first time can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, we’d argue that it’s an act of self-care to do some research and consider what types of toys you might like to try.

All of this power does mean the Magic Wand Rechargeable is larger than most vibrators and weighs 600g and like many wands it is not waterproof. It’s designed to mimic oral sex – think the flutter of a tongue and the suction of a mouth, and achieves that thanks to its clitoral vacuum technology. With over 40 different pleasure combos, from eight levels of intensity and five different vibration patterns this vibrator is sure to blow your mind. From best-selling sex toy brand Dame, the budget-friendly Zee is a do-it-all bullet vibrator. “The design is simple, the aesthetic is minimalist, and there is a simple, single-button control for navigating the three different speeds,” says Finn.

With its dual motors, multiple vibration settings, and a flexible design, it covers all the bases. It’s like finding out your favorite dive bar has the best cocktails in town. This bad boy syncs with an app, allowing you to fine-tune your pleasure to the ninth degree.

Of course, we mean that in the emotional/spiritual/mental way, but we also mean that if you don’t have a vibrator you love at the moment, it’s time to get one. That said, it’s wise to think about how you want to use your new toy. If you plan on using your vibrator during partnered sex, you may want to opt for one that’s slimmer and less intrusive. If you’re using the toy solo, you might not care if it has a cord or has a larger, clunkier design. This depends on a range of different factors, including material, frequency of use and whether you’ve been cleaning it regularly. This was made even more enjoyable by the buttons, which (unlike on many bullet vibrators) are smooth to press and accessible, making this a good pick for first-time buyers.

She suggests reading the directions (yes, many sex toys have directions — read them!) and cleaning them after every use. It’s also crucial to communicate with your partner if they’re using the toy too roughly. The Duo 2 is a unique premium rabbit sex toy – a Pleasure Air clitoral stimulator and powerful G-Spot dual vibrator combined to create advanced, blended orgasms. Lawless also thinks there are other products that may have been designed with older adults specifically in mind, but that don’t necessarily market to them specifically.

With its Pleasure Air technology, it provides gentle suction to your clit, giving you the feeling of being wrapped in a cloud of pleasure. Plus, it’s designed to fit snugly between partners so you can both enjoy the 12 intensity levels while getting busy. This dual-ended remote control vibrator offers clitoral and G-spot stimulation, plus an adjustable neck to fit you in all the right ways. Plus, Dolce’s dual motors make it more powerful than most other vibrators on the market. Whether you realize it or not, there are many situations in which knowing how to convert household items into homemade sex toys is a real plus. Maybe you’re away from home and realize you’re without your favorite sex toy; maybe things have gotten heated and you don’t have time to hunt for a vibrator; maybe you’re looking to try a new kink without investing much money.

Another key facet of using any vibrator is keeping it nice and clean, to avoid bacteria buildup and infection. “For toys with motors, you can use fragrance-free soap and water or toy cleaner,” Eva Sweeney, a sex toy reviewer, educator, and founder of Cripping Up Sex with Eva, previously told Allure. You can spritz the toy with a bit of warm soapy water, or, if it’s waterproof, you can soak it in the sink for a few moments. And, like all LELO sex toys, the Ora 3 is so elegantly designed that you can leave it out on your nightstand and people will assume it’s simply a beautiful sculpture…maybe. The G-spot, the P-spot, the A-spot—no matter which internal spot you’re looking to stimulate, there’s probably an insertable vibrator that’s up to the task.
