The Womanizer Was So Good I Passed Out the First Time I Tried It
The soft Kanuka handcuffs come with a control cord and are perfect for “low-cutting” (that’s in-the-know speak for low friction) exploration, while the steel-capped rope allows couples to explore impact play. If you and/or your partner only have experience with clitoral orgasms , you might want to explore Lelo’s weighted vaginal beads, also known as Ben Wa balls. Who says rose petals should only be sprinkled romantically across your bed? The compact vibrator has seven suction settings and is waterproof viberators, in case you want to use it in the shower or tub. Available in red or purple, it’s so pretty that you might want to leave it on your nightstand as some sassy home decor instead of tucking it away in a drawer. The Elemi’s quiet “gentle touch” vibration mode — one of 10 options — helps with the discretion factor.
Available in silver and rose gold, the pendant can be switched on via a hidden button on its side and it touts surprisingly strong vibrations for its short profile. I had been messing around with the buttons for probably less than two minutes and didn’t get very far into exploring sensations when it was clear I was on the verge of an orgasm and just rolled with it. It was as close to almost instantaneous as I’ve ever gotten in my life. I’m still running into occasional issues with the buttons; I need to change how I grip it apparently, since I naturally hold it tighter as I get closer to climax.
After a few glasses of wine, I worked up the courage to do the asking. Of these three wands, the Doxy is the one that’s corded (though both Hitachi and Le Wand have corded options, too). While it almost seems archaic to have a wired toy, I see the appeal of using the Doxy. Hitachi’s vibration patterns range from a consistent vibration to a quick pulse to a rev-up-to-slow-down and repeat. The Doxy is the least expensive toy as it starts at just under $120, $15 less than Hitachi. One benefit of the Doxy, however, is that it’s highly customizable from the head to the collar to the buttons to the color of the wand itself.
It’s an especially travel-friendly vibe, too, due to its compact size, its convenient travel-lock function, and the storage case it comes with. While vibrators have historically been—and remain—one of the best sex toys for women, men can also benefit—whether by taking the controls, or getting some prostate or perineum stimulation. Vibrators are also helpful when dealing with sensitivity issues that make it hard for you to feel pleasure or reach orgasm, such as being on antidepressants, which can tamp down sensation. An orgasm isn’t a cure, but a vibrator might be just the thing to push you over the edge and at least put a smile on your face. We tested the Zalo Bess as an alternative to the Zumio S. Like the Zumio S, the Zalo Bess has a narrow tip for precise stimulation.
This vibrator has a forked tip and a powerful motor in each tip, which Hodder says guarantees intense vibration power and offers a unique way to stimulate the clitoris without having to make direct contact. “Simply position the clitoris between each tip and try pinching or squeezing them together, almost like a clit sandwich,” Hodder says (Jimmy Jane, $59). Rest assured there’s a good reason for their various curves and fork-like apparatus.
These beginner-friendly sex toys are generally meant for clitoral stimulation, though some are meant for internal use, while others are meant for penises. Bring them on your next vacation for when you’re feeling adventurous in a place where no one knows you or keep things low-key by using them next time you’ve got a date night at home. When using your hands to masturbate, most people find using one or two fingers at a time to be the easiest starting place.
