D I.Y Sex Toys: Self-Love Edition
They can be used externally on the penis, vulva, clitoris, and anus viberators, or can be used internally in the anus or vagina. Continued stimulation can create feelings of sexual pleasure and may eventually lead to orgasm. “The softness of the material is a welcome reprieve from harder sex toys,” one SELF tester says. “I like to really press my vibrators against my vulva when I use them, and I can do that with the Pebble without pain.” This quiet toy can also be used on nipples, penises, and the nerve-dense region between your bits and butt. These vibes are more travel-friendly and discreet than most other sex toys—they’re small enough to slip into a clutch, a pocket, or, hell, even wear as jewelry.
The Dame Fin has three different vibration speeds, with the highest speed being super powerful. I was actually shocked by how rumbly it was — it stimulated just as well as some of my larger vibes. And it’s slim enough that you can slip it between you and your partner during sex. This G-spot stimulator is similar to the tapping vibrator above that tapes on the G-spot once inserted, only instead of a bunny shape it features a beautiful butterfly on a mission to deliver pure pleasure to the clitoris. It has four flapping and nine vibrating modes that work in tandem and a beautiful rose-shaped base. Made famous by Sex and The City over 25 years ago, The Rabbit vibrator is known for its ability to stimulate the clitoris with impeccable precision.
It comes with three attachment tips , which in our tests did not produce significant functional differences. The Bess’s handle can technically serve as an insertable G-spot vibrator, too, but we found that feature impractical and therefore chose not to test it. Although this toy is a great value and provides pinpoint stimulation similar to that of the Zumio S, its primary drawback is its control panel. If you are not interested in the patterns, cycling through this hodgepodge of settings to find your desired level of vibration can be confusing. We recommend the Magic Wand Rechargeable, an improved version of the ultra-powerful Magic Wand Original. These wireless remote control sex toys also make it easier to change settings while a toy is deep inside you or your hands are covered with lube and you don’t feel like swiping around on your phone screen with them.
The Vibration Body Massager app turns your phone into a customizable personal massager, offering a variety of vibration patterns to help you relax and unwind. Strong Vibrator – Massager gives you an opportunity to customize your massage experience by choosing from various vibration patterns and intensities. Personally, I find it regrettable that a greater number of consumer scholars do not tackle such “sexy” subject matters.
With all that in mind, here are some of the best remote-control sex toys. I don’t think the Pulse II works very well as a partnered toy, for several reasons. They’re definitely not intense enough to create significant pleasure for a female partner. It almost feels like there’s a cancellation effect with the oscillations and the vibrations. It’s too hard and bulky to feel very comfortable pressed in between two bodies, and any sort of thrusting is awkward and even slightly painful. I appreciate the effort to involve a partner, but this just feels like a toy that’s meant to be used on its own.
A lot of toys have multiple settings, and that often allows you to turn up and down the intensity, speed, and/or pattern of vibrations. While it might be tempting to crank your toy all the way up (and you should totally do that when you’re ready to, even if that is, in fact, right away), you can also experiment with bumping up the intensity gradually. Though most people refer to the bean-shaped area at the upper crest of the vulva as the clitoris, New York City-based board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist Monica Grover, MD, says it’s just the beginning of this sensitive zone. “The external clitoris is located above the urethra and where the bilateral inner labia meet,” says Dr. Grover. This toy has a whopping 10 contraction rings inside it, for some serious stroking. The Onyx+ can be used for long-distance play, like the Lovense Max 2 above, by syncing up with another Kiiro sex toy (like the brand’s Pearl 2 vibrator) and replicating how your partner’s using it.
The speed control receives mixed feedback, with some praising the variable speed feature while others mention the very low speed setting. If you’re bullet-curious and don’t want to spend a ton on something you might like, this affordable vibe could be a good first foray into the category. “Unbound’s chic mini-vibe is as portable as it is powerful,”Bezalel says. It features a pointed tip for perfectly targeted stimulation, and despite having only one speed, it’s extra powerful for target stimulated. They’re typically smaller than your average handheld vibrator or wand, with one blunt or flat end and another that’s more tapered or pointed like a lipstick.
