I live alone in an apartment and am convinced my neighbors

The SnailVibe is innovative, but left me feeling sluggish

I removed the penetrative attachment and just rode the vibrating saddle itself. As I said, vibrations range from levels one to 11 , and I orgasmed at level four. Oh, and if you’re worried someone will hear your vibrator now, wait until you hear this thing — it’s loud. I live alone in an apartment and am convinced my neighbors didn’t just hear the vibrations; they must have thought there was an earthquake.

But the Kiiroo’s claim to fame is the way it can integrate with VR porn. If you’ve already got a VR headset and want to really bring your fantasy to fruition, this could be a great investment.

Vibrators come in all different shapes, sizes, and though they perform the same basic function, vary quite a bit in how they get you there. Finding the best vibrator for you can be a sometimes frustrating process, but is greatly helped by having an understanding of what you’re looking for in your sex toy.

“Womanizer is the OG brand of this style of toy, and they do it right.” You’ve probably heard of wand vibrators and G-spot vibrators, but fewer people are familiar with palm vibrators. As their names suggest viberator, these compact vibrators are meant to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand and are usually flexible, soft, and rounded at the edges.

Either wash your sex toys after use with soap and water and wipe down with a flannel. Where some are more than happy to talk about sex toys with their friends and partner, others still view them as a taboo subject. There’s no shame in either school of thought, but for the curious, it’s important to know what’s what. While the Magic Wand (above) works just fine on its own for penises and vulvas alike, you may as well throw this attachment into your cart along with the wand if you want your (or someone else’s) dick to be enveloped in vibration. I love using this toy on partners because of the intensity of the ridged and beaded texture on the inside; it’s fun to watch someone react to it as I stroke it up and down with the vibration turned on. Brad Garrison, a registered psychotherapist and relationship issues specialist, recommends this for guys who want a toy that’s straightforward and easy to use.

The LELO Gigi 2 is made of super-smooth silicone and is completely waterproof (up to one meter). It does take a while to fully charge — roughly two hours — but it holds its charge for that long, as well. It comes with its own little carrying case, too, which is a small dome cover that pops right on top of the egg dish. I love this because it means that I can keep the vibrator out while it’s charging and no one will be the wiser.

It comes with several attachments and is endorsed by Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer (Eroscillator, starts at $109). Until the 20th century, American and European men, including physicians, believed that women did not experience sexual desire or pleasure. They believed that women were simply fleshy receptacles for male lust and that intercourse culminating in male ejaculation fulfilled women’s erotic needs. Women were socialized to believe that “ladies” had no sex drive, and that duty required them to put up with sex in order to keep their husbands happy and have children. Flexible external arms may also allow you to thrust the toy in and out without it losing contact with your clit.
