Open-air strokers are a godsend when it comes to breezy

The Best Sex Toys 2025, Tested and Reviewed

“Sexual health is a really important factor in your overall health and wellbeing from a physical, mental, emotional and relational perspective,” says Zar. Open-air strokers are a godsend when it comes to breezy clean-up, and, much like its cousin the Fun Factory Manta viberators, the Desire stroker is lightweight and a great travel-size toy. This 9.5-inch-long stoker, however, packs a whopping 20 functions and an angled stroking ring that makes it even easier to use for folks with limited range of motion or grip. Its hard to find something to complain about with this vibe, but we will say that though it can technically be used in the bath or shower, it’s only water-resistant, so you won’t want to submerge it in any water. Other than that, this is simply an elegant vibrator at an affordable price, making it an ideal pick for vibrator users of all experience levels.

Clitoral suction stimulators are designed to replicate the sensation of oral sex, and this winning Womanizer toy is a top-tier option. Every product below has been tested by at least five people, who made sure it lived up to any claims made on the box. This included trying every speed setting, vibration type and any accompanying apps, as offered by toys like Lovense’s App-Controlled Love Egg Vibrator. Hard plastic and silicone toys are easiest to clean with anti-bacterial soap and cool or warm water.

Some vibrators have forked ends that sit against either side of the clitoris, almost like a cradle or tuning fork, that are made specifically for people who like direct and intense vibration, Hodder says. Others have a scoop-like end that almost cups the clitoris for a “surround sound” type of stimulation. Some are textured with ridges or little nubs and others have thin, flexible fin-like extensions that flutter. The Vibrato has three buttons, which allow you to control each end of the toy separately. While I love that the vibrator’s dual motors can be operated independently, there is a learning curve to figuring out which buttons do what.

By understanding these basics, you minimize the risk of discomfort or embarrassment during public use. Both patterns and vibrations are controlled by a bar chart button and a wave button, respectively. This wand has the benefit of having a light display so you can see what level you’re on. Are glow-in-the-dark control buttons really a make-or-break feature? But regardless, this Grace and Frankie plot point does reflect how older adults are notably underrepresented in the booming adult product market. Online, where most people shop for their pleasure products, it’s rare you’ll stumble across photos of older models or language in product descriptions that address their particular concerns.

Phthalates have come under fire for their potential to affect human health (the scientific jury is still out, according to the CDC) but in the name of “better safe than sorry,” you can easily find sex toys that are phthalate-free. This is any vibrator designed specifically to make the outside of your body feel incredible. People typically use them on their clitoris , labia, and vulva, but you can try them for external stimulation on any part of your body you like.
