‘I had the most intense orgasms ever’: The best vibrators for 2025, tested by 130 women

For those who enjoy versatility, this vibrator features one non-vibrating side and one vibrating side — both great for vaginal and anal pleasure. It looks luxurious, and you can play with three vibration patterns and three power levels. “Pleasure and orgasm are really good for you because they release hormones that reduce stress and anxiety,” says Zar. For most women, the clitoris is the gateway to orgasm — and this toy is made specifically for that pleasure part.

For a fabulous customer experience, choose Babeland, Unbound, Pleasure Chest, Wildflower or Good Vibrations. While most suction vibes can be used for better sex in both partnered and solo play, the We-Vibe clitorial stimulator was specifically made with couples in mind. This suction vibrator has a longer arm than most, making it easier for a partner to hold. “The Vesper is both a gorgeously crafted piece of jewelry as well as a strong slim vibrator,” Bezalel says. With the included chain, you can wear this vibrator around your neck and it’s unlikely anyone will know it’s a sex toy, making this a fun, playful piece to wear on a date.

This area is extremely sensitive and a prime spot to invest a little more attention, but the previous Tenuto’s solution was … less than ideal. The Tenuto Mini is most similar to a vibrating cock ring, the kind that wraps around the base of a penis and has a small vibrating motor at the top and, sometimes, the bottom. But while those devices are a dime a dozen and typically flimsy, the Tenuto Mini is rigid, with a small gap at the bottom. A few years ago, I tried out MysteryVibe’s unique Tenuto vibrator and found it somewhat wanting. Creating a vibrator that helps its user maintain an erection, stimulates neglected parts of the body, and is mutually beneficial for both the user and their partner was a noble goal, but one the company struggled to achieve.

We instructed our testers to use each toy themselves and to incorporate these toys into partner play when possible. We’ve also solicited long-term testing feedback from folks who bought their first vibrators based on the advice in this guide. But buying sex toys can be an intimidating experience for newbies and experienced users alike, and not just due to the buyer’s shyness. High-quality sex toys are often expensive and nonreturnable, you have hundreds (if not thousands) of sex-toy models to choose from, and the criteria for what makes a good sex toy can be highly subjective. Determining what toy will work best for you based on reviews can be difficult because every person’s sexual response is different. Nobody wants to spend $100-plus on a toy that turns out to be a dud.

First, however , lets talk about what types of objects and materials to avoid. As with vibrators, anything sharp or pointed (like scissors) is a definite no-go. A glass bottle is not safe for insertion in the way that a glass dildo is. With 10 vibration intensities and 20 vibration modes (all laid out in the user guide that’s included in the package), there’s something for everyone with this toy. It’s easy to maneuver from mode to mode (just press the middle “wave” button) and increase/decrease the intensity (just press the plus or minus button).

This cheekily named Four Play set from Evolved involves four toys in one. “Just as much as they’re good for solo play, they’re also perfect to use during intercourse, as they’re unintimidating and small enough not to get in the way,” Alvarez Story says. “Bullet vibes are only designed for external use, not as much for insertion,” as they don’t have a flared base so they shouldn’t be used anally. But ironically viberators, women’s sexual pleasure was the furthest thing from the minds of the male doctors who invented vibrators almost two centuries ago. Therein hangs a strange tale that provides quirky insights into both the history of sex toys and cultural notions about women’s sexuality. So when I heard about a three-in-one toy from Playboy’s Pleasure line called the Vibrato ($136, babeland.com), which functions as a wand vibrator, a vibrating dildo, and a G-spot stimulator, I decided to give it a spin.
