“Hysteria” and the Strange History of Vibrators
And even though this vibrator’s tip is designed for your G-spot viberator, it feels great against your clitoris, too. This is especially true if you’re someone who loves direct stimulation. The vibrations also feel great elsewhere on your body, too — especially your nipples or your neck. Whether you’re a beginner or own several vibrators, the Maude Vibrator is a must-have toy for your goodie drawer. It’s designed to have a slim, cone-shaped silhouette that vibrates at both the tip and the rounded base.
Martin® Concrete Form Vibrators solve common problems in the precast industry. Heavy-duty electric externally-mounted vibrators will improve productivity and increase material strength and compaction. Womanizer already has a dedicated fanbase, including right here at SheKnows (one of our writers nearly passed out after testing the Womanizer Premium), and it sounds like Vibe is keeping the good times going.
It took testers a bit of trial and error to get it right, but the app provided a lot of information on how to use the sex toy, plus how to deploy the hands-free feature. One tester loved how much thought went into the app – you can select preset modes, live control , stories, and even let your partner take control from a distance. Just note, some people did find it was a little too large for them, so keep this in mind before shopping. While most suction vibrators are designed with the clitoris in mind, this Womanizer wand delivers pulsating, massaging air pressure to the G-spot. With 12 intensity levels and three vibrational modes, this impressive gadget also features an “afterglow” function that reverts the toy back to its lowest setting for a gentle comedown after an orgasm.
“You can press gently on your vulva and different places along your clitoral system or press more firmly,” she said. The Womanizer Premium is significantly more expensive than the Classic; we’re not convinced that its added “autopilot” and “smart silence” features are worth an additional $60 or so. The Biird Namii is somewhat large and cumbersome, and its vibrations are weaker than those of similar models we tested.
According to our panel, Le Wand was “a lot of fun” during partnered play. The versatile toy can be used for sensual massages, foreplay and during sex. Our panellists were blown away by the number of speed settings and distinctive vibration patterns there were to experiment with, allowing them to achieve orgasms that were both fast and intense. While the Deluxe Mini is small, it’s also pretty mighty, Megan Fleming, MD, a psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. Its seven vibration patterns and 10 speed settings provide plenty of variety—FYI, that’s 70 combinations total. Plus, the ultra-flexible neck comes in handy when you’re using it with a partner (or two).
You can choose from a variety of pre-made models on-site, or even build your own. Clitoral suction toys can be a bit of a mystery if you’re unfamiliar with their ins and outs. Vibrators contain motors that provide the vibration by just stimulating via shaking, but a suction toy is a little more complex. For many of us, finding creative ways to use long distance toys can help keep the spark alive.
Both of these areas can be sensitive to internal and external stimulation. Discretion isn’t always a concern when it comes to buying and using a vibrator. But if you live in a house full of other people (particularly with kids who are curious and prone to touching things that aren’t theirs), it very well might be a priority to have a quiet and sneaky sex toy in your collection. Thankfully, your favorite sex toy shops are loaded with discreet vibrators that offer subtlety, silence, and satisfying sex in equal measure.
It’s 100 percent waterproof and made of polished 316L surgical stainless steel and nickel-free plating, meaning it’s body-safe. Its impressive shape, five vibration speeds, and seven patterns make this toy one of the best sex toys currently on the market. Every chef has their set of go-to knives, every carpenter, their trustiest tools. This set of glass anal plugs is one of my most trifectas for sex, whether I’m aiming for some backdoor foreplay or gearing up for full penile penetration. If the concept of glass sex toys sounds counterintuitive, fret not; these borosilicate glass toys are actually far more body-safe than your run-of-the-mill plastic toys, and will have less friction when entering your anus. The glass also provides a satisfying, slightly weighted sensation in the anus that can stimulate the P-spot.
The fact that I didn’t ‘need’ or own a vibrator for so long was both a point of pride and envy. I was proud of the fact that I could get off wherever, whenever—so long as my hand wasn’t sprained or something—but envious of all the ladies who didn’t have to break a sweat for their orgasms. This jealousy was especially present whenever I happened to be extremely horny and completely exhausted at the same time. Too tired to masturbate, I’d usually just fall into an irritated sleep and wake with lady blue balls, a problem I imagined vibrator-owners never had. The toy doesn’t have a dedicated button for switching between the two. Instead, the user holds down on the power button for three seconds to glide from vibration to pulse, according to an instructional video on Doxy’s website.
