Bellesa Boutique Launches World’s First-Ever Silent Vibrator
“Nearly all STIs are capable of being transmitted through sex toys, especially toys that are inserted into the body or make mucosal contact,” Susan Bard, a New York City-based dermatologist, affirmed. We loved the strong vibrations and easy-to-hold loop handle on the brand’s White Temptation but found the loaf-like shape to be awkward to use, preferring the tapered silhouette of the Purple Pleasure. The Beso Plus was our least favorite of the clitoral suction/G-spot dual-stimulator vibrators we’ve tried. Our tester found the “mouth” of the toy to be uncomfortably firm and irritating. If you wish to use a lubricant with your toy (as experts often recommend), keep in mind that only water-based lube is safe to use with all types of toys. Oil-based lubricants are not just unsafe for use with condoms but can also interact badly with toys made of soft plastic or rubber, causing the devices to disintegrate or to leach chemicals (PDF).
“It’s simple but effective, washable, and inexpensive… A nice starting point for most guys,” he says. Like the Tenga Egg (more on that below), this toy is designed to be disposable, but can be used up to a few times if you wash and dry it properly between uses. This particular one has a multi-chambered texture on the inside that’s meant to mimic the sensations of a deep-throat blowjob. For an even more realistic oral-esque sensation, you can cover up the air hole on one end using your finger, to introduce some suction into each stroke.
You can soak waterproof toys of all stripes in a 10% bleach solution for 10 minutes to disinfect them, then thoroughly wash them with soap and water afterward. If you’re using a toy with a condom, make sure that the condom covers the entire surface that comes in contact with your genitals. The condom should be thin enough for you to see, feel, and press the buttons through the barrier. Do not use oil-based lubricants with condoms, and make sure to remove and dispose of the condom directly after use. Do not reuse condoms with toys, as that practice is unsanitary and a sure way to encourage the condom to break. Since 2014 we’ve tested a handful of sub-$100 vibrators, finding many of them severely lacking in some respect.
In fact, it’s the top-selling vibrator for both Good Vibrations and online adult store Lovehoney. For less than $50 vibrator, it’s a fantastic option for beginners and anyone who’s already got toys in their arsenal. Maybe you want to find the best vibrator that at first glance doesn’t look like one. Enter Pep, a small, quiet egg-shaped vibrator that could be mistaken for a high-tech makeup sponge or skincare device. No matter if you’re playing solo or want to spice things up with your partner. Viberator is the premium, stereo version of the vintage, Uni-Vibe® type phase shifter with a number of modern options.
“You can use a wand during masturbation or partnered play for direct and targeted stimulation of the genitals,” Frye-Nekrasova says. “You can also use wands as foreplay of partner play by giving each other full-body massages with wands to fully relax and prep for fun together.” We named this small but mighty vibrator the best sex toy for travel, but it’s also an elite clitoral vibrator on its own, offering targeted vibrations as well as a lovely rumbly sensation across the vulval. Waterproof and made with medical-grade silicone, the tiny vibrator has a ridge to target the clit, and there are five intensities and patterns so you can customize the experience exactly how you’d like it. “Dame has really good products,” adds Gigi Engle, certified sex and relationships psychotherapist and resident sex expert at SexToysUK. “They’re reliable and high-quality.”It’s fully waterproof, so there are no limits to where you can bring this thing (and it also has a convenient travel-lock feature).
The tapered oval shape fits nicely against the vulva, with vibrations focused at the tip of the toy for clitoral stimulation. The toy is also flat enough (about 1 inch thick) for easy positioning between bodies during intercourse. The Magic Wand Rechargeable has an automatic shutoff function at the 20-minute mark, which can be disruptive if you don’t expect it (one of our testers thought the toy had run out of battery life when this happened). The manufacturer recommends letting the toy cool off after 20 minutes to prolong the motor’s life, but you can continue to use it at this point by simply turning it back on again.
Aside from the bells and whistles , the Chorus is just a really great vibrator. Its vibrating tip is perfect for pinpointing your clitoris or your nipples but also feels great against your G-spot, too. The Maude Vibrator charges up quickly and holds that charge for at least 2.5 hours.
You can easily wash the Purple Pleasure with gentle soap and water after use, as the toy has an IPX7 waterproof rating (it can safely remain submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes). The “rabbit” vibrator was made famous years ago by Sex and the City and is renowned for how it simultaneously stimulates both the G-spot and the clitoris. This combination of internal and external stimulation can lead to “mind-blowing” orgasms,” says Kryplone. Called “rabbit” because of its bunny-like shape, some rabbit vibrators look more like actual rabbits — it’s a matter of personal preference! The LELO INA “is a perfect introduction to rabbit vibrators,” says Freya. These sex toys have become the go-to for pleasure seekers everywhere, offering both internal and external stimulation, they tick all the boxes.
