A beginners guide to sex toys

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.

This toy, however, was designed specifically for prostate play, so of course it does so very well. In addition to vibrating, this toy’s internal arm moves up and down in a “come hither” motion to massage your prostate. The arms don’t work independently of each other, but the 10 vibration settings and overall satisfaction with using this makes up for it. The Lovense Nora is a fantastic rabbit vibe, featuring strong and rumbly vibrations, a flexible clitoral arm, and a rotating shaft that can massage the G-spot.

You can place it on the bed or a chair, then grind against or ride it during solo play. One side has a flicking tongue, which you can use to mimic the feeling of oral sex on your clit or anus, while the other has a warming feature (because heated seats aren’t just for cars anymore). Waterproof and remote-controllable, the Vibepad will surely be a grinder’s go-to—just remember to add a dab of water-based lubricant for maximum comfort. Some of the intercourse simulators in this guide are paired with content libraries that sync up with mechanical motions performed by the toys. Your partner may also be able to access an audio interface with each mobile app that allows them to take physical control of your toy while also projecting audio into your partner’s space, and vice versa. These capabilities are becoming more commonplace for highly developed sex toys designed for couples living apart.

The W500 model offers two different sized heads — because clitorises don’t come in one shape or size! — which is a nice upgrade but you’ve got to be willing to pay the price” (The Pleasure Chest viberators, $220). No matter your tastes, there are many, many uses for remote-controlled sex toys —  from hands-free solo play or partnered activities (up close or long distance). To start, I stripped to my silk skivvies, keeping them on as a buffer just in case the vibrations from the wand were too intense. When they weren’t, I threw my underwear to the floor and reached for some water-based lubricant in my night table.

Testers found it connected well with the Kiiroo Titan in that both devices delivered the same vibration patterns for a synchronized intimate experience. It seamlessly connects with video programming as well as 3D games available via the FeelConnect app. If you are missing penetration with your partner (whether that’s vaginal, anal or oral) this high-tech stroking machine is just about the closest experience you’ll get to the real thing. You’ll need to purchase a sleeve of your choice to accompany Kiiroo’s Keon machine, which is built with an ergonomic grip that allows users to seamlessly experience up to 230 strokes a minute.

From the moment I slipped it on, I was in love and wore it all the time. This inventive cock ring comes with an optional “custom fit link” that allows you to expand its diameter to more comfortably fit a penis with more girth, which tend to get squeeze by one-size-fits-most rings. Like other We-Vibe cock rings, this one also packs a punch power-wise, is waterproof , and can be controlled from near or far using the We-Vibe app. With the Atom Plus and its dual motors, everyone gets to enjoy the wonderful vibes. While the top motor hits your partner’s clitoris (and your shaft), the bottom motor brings some rumble to your very own testicles and taint.

Using a toy can help to make masturbation more satisfying and exciting. Mini vibrators and bullets are one type of sex toy that is very popular among women. The cock ring slides over the penis for handsfree play and the rabbit ears stimulate the clit. There are five suction speeds and five vibration speeds so you can find what works best for you.
