“Hysteria” and the Strange History of Vibrators
Made from soft silicone, it has five speeds and six patterns for users to enjoy, with most of our testers saying it helped them achieve a stronger orgasm more quickly. To find the top performers, our Good Housekeeping Institute testing panel of 123 women put a range of models to the test. While I easily had sex with my partner during the aforementioned play party, sitting on top of an intensely vibrating machine in front of people I didn’t know felt too exposed for me, for some reason. However, the other people I’d seen trying it out always looked like they’d immensely enjoyed it. That’s why when the opportunity arose for me to try the Motorbunny Buck in my own home, I was stoked.
But it’s not, which is why Corrado prefers to think of it as the G-zone. While there is no shame in using sex toys or the latest vibe, there’s also no shame in discretion. Look no further than here for the best discreet sex toys, discreet vibrators , secret sex toy options and more.
We’re also fans of the clearly labeled buttons that make it easy to cycle through the Doxy’s eight settings. I’m also a fan of this pick’s simple controls, flexible neck, and lightweight design (you can read my full review of the Ultra Wand here). CNET staff — not advertisers, partners or business interests — determine how we review products and services. We like this silicone bullet from Lora DiCarlo, which has an extra cushy surface (made from medical-grade silicone) that warms up to slightly above body temperature—turning up the heat on your single (or couples) play session. The only vibrator on this list that has not been hands-on tested by the Mashable team is the Unbound Shimmy. We’ve decided to include it for its excellent features-to-price ratio, and because Unbound is a brand we trust and have hands-on tested with their Pep vibrator.
Satisfyer claims that the toy can operate for up to two hours after three hours of charge time, but the actual time may vary depending on the strength at which you use the toy. We recommend periodically charging the toy to preserve its longevity, rather than allowing the battery to run down completely. Testers reported that the long handle makes the Magic Wand comfortable to hold for long periods of time without hand cramping or numbness. The switch sits high enough on the handle that testers were unlikely to switch it off accidentally during use (which was an issue with some of the smaller rechargeable models). We’ve focused on toys that will work well for most people, including beginners.
Generally you don’t need to disinfect toys that only one person uses or that stay covered with condoms. Some nonporous, nonmotorized toys can go into the dishwasher without soap for steam sanitizing. Alternatively, you can boil most nonporous, nonmotorized toys in hot water.
You can also use the band to adjust the tightness just how you like it. It focuses deep, strong vibrations right onto your frenulum and the surrounding area vibrators, no stroking or thrusting required. As with other Lovense toys, this one can be controlled via the well-designed Lovense app, so you can create your own vibration patterns, sync up the vibrations with music, or even let a far-away partner take control of the toy. Are willing to get a little adventurous with your first foray into the land of sex toys?
