National Masturbation Month: The history of the vibrator
But it can be hard to introduce sex toys into the bedroom for the first time. You’re not the only one nervous about taking your sex toys across the border from Solotown to the Land of Let’s Get It On. Double your pleasure with this clit sucking toy that also targets the G-spot.
So whatever mood you’re in… there’s a toy on this list that will satisfy you. Because they offer a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to enjoying our sexuality. You’ll also want to make sure that you have a solid Bluetooth connection—after all, you don’t want the toy losing power in the middle of… well, you know. That means you can give your partner a little extra stimulation even when you’re not in the same room (or even the same country). With its powerful motor, it packs a punch that other wand massagers simply can’t match. And with its male and female attachments, it opens up a whole world of new possibilities.
If you’re new to the party-for-one game, Alexandra Fine, sexologist and co-founder of Dame has a few pointers. “Imagine the sensations of all these different kinds of vibrators.” She adds that if the sensation sounds like something you would like, your body will tell you. “Launched earlier this year, OhMiBod’s Lovelife Rev was designed with accessibility in mind. Its ergonomic design and large button are easier to grip than most vibes.” The easy-to-grip ergonomic design means all of your attention can go to getting off.
“Honestly, the quietest toys are going to be marketed as quiet viberator,” says Gigi Engle, a certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and resident intimacy expert at dating app, 3Fun. “With that being said, you’re going to want to look for something smaller that has a smaller motor.” Engle explains that the smaller the motor, the quieter the toy. “You’re going to have better luck with palm, finger, and bullet vibrators. These toys are basically silent, which can be a great choice,” Engle adds. Wands are super versatile, with long handles and large heads that make them easy to use in different solo or partnered positions.
Of course, there’s zero shame in sex or masturbation, but it’s perfectly normal, and even considerate, to want to keep things low-key. Have an open an honest conversation about why this is something that turns you on. It’s something for the two of you to try together in order to expand your sexual repertoire. Some clitoral vibes are actually made to be worn, like finger vibes, which makes the masturbation process easier, Hodder says. When choosing a vibrator, these hard, firm details must be considered. Electricity gave women home vibrators, but within a few decades, electricity almost took them away.
If you want vibration and air suction, try the newer Pro 2 Plus which combines both sensations. “If you look at the categories of vibrators, you can kind of pare down everything into wands , ‘twice as nice’ and bullets,” says Coyote Amrich, director of purchasing and product development for Good Vibrations and Babeland. From bullets to air suction, these are the bestselling and highest-rated vibrators out there.
