‘I had the most intense orgasms ever’: The best vibrators for 2025, tested by 130 women
With five low-volume vibrational speeds and five patterns, this medium-size plug is covered in smooth body-safe silicone, is fully waterproof and comes equipped with an easy-to-grip circular handle. It’s ideal to use as a lead-up to penetrative anal sex, as well as a way to take oral sex, vaginal sex and masturbation to the next level. The Womanizer has established itself as a leader in suction sex toys, and its new Womanizer Next option is a real clitoral hero. The Ambi appears to have a pretty non-traditional shape for a bullet vibe, but it’s basically a bullet with a handle attached, which can make it more ergonomic.
The folks at Satisfyer sent me a few of their app-friendly toys recently and a partner and I decided to try a few out (for science). On top of some extensive solo research, I’m here to give you a run-down of a few of their app-controlled sex toys that you might want to pick up ASAP. The other side of the toy—which functions as the handle of the wand portion—is a 5.75-inch long dildo with a motor that allows it to vibrate, twirl, or twist. When used as a dildo, the Vibrato can help people who enjoy penetration get theirs, Weiss says. Many vulva-owners enjoy penetration even more after a clitoral orgasm, as the vagina often expands and becomes more lubricated in response to pleasure, she says. As such, she loves that each side of the vibrator can provide a different kind of orgasm.
The vibrator comes in its own storage case, which is a huge plus considering its size (you can’t just stuff it in your drawer…well, you could, but it’d be cumbersome). While only available in purple on Lovers, SnailVibe comes in both pink and purple from its direct site. The Cherry Emojibator is super versatile in that it has a simple USB type A charger, but actually finding the entry port for the charger is a little difficult.
Better vibrations and new sensations in orgasm achievements are available, if only you’ll reach out and grab them. With all due respect to the hand, even your favorite meal gets boring—especially once you see what else is on the menu. You’ll also find a small button on the loop, which allows you to cycle through the five different speeds and five vibration patterns this plug has to offer. While it is a tad inconvenient to have one button to switch through ten different settings, it is nice that there’s lots of variation, as anal play provides some very unique sensations that people can have strong preferences about. Unbound’s toys also come with helpful user guides (how this not a thing for every sex toy brand, we don’t know) so you can get the most out of the Shimmy. This good-looking vibrator stands out for its unique tear-shape design.
And their standard treatment, bleeding, killed more people than it helped. For more on the 19th-century treatment of hysteria, read The Road to Wellville by T.C. Not surprisingly, these beliefs left an enormous number of women sexually frustrated. They complained to doctors of anxiety, sleeplessness, irritability, nervousness, erotic fantasies, feelings of heaviness in the lower abdomen, and wetness between the legs. This syndrome became known as “hysteria,” from the Greek for uterus. After a few minutes of fiddling with the controls, I got the hang of it—however, I think the slightly confusing design keeps this vibe from being quite as beginner-friendly as it could be.
Correspondingly, the world of sex toys and the options therein can have a tendency to skew toward fun, or silly—which is a perfect characterization of Emojibator’s sex toys. Despite its petite size, this device packs a lot of power, particularly on the highest speed setting. Panellists raved about how soft and lightweight the material was and thought the variety of vibration patterns on offer was impressive. I’m nitpicking, but the only thing I find annoying is the 90-minute charge time. If you use the Mini at its highest intensity, you only get 30 minutes of play time. (You get 40 minutes with the Vesper 2.) But it’s a tiny gadget, so it seems reasonable.
The Dot features a tapered tip (measuring an eighth of an inch at its narrowest point) that offers pinpointed, rather than broad, clitoral stimulation. Made from soft vibrator, flexible matte silicone, the Dot delivers vibrations that are intensely concentrated at the pointed tip of the toy, with relatively little vibration resonating into the hard-plastic loop-shaped handle. As a result, it’s easy to apply a lot of intense stimulation precisely where you want. This matte coating has a soft, suede-like texture that feels pleasant against the skin, though we recommend using it with plenty of water-based lube to reduce friction.
It’s almost enough to make you think that older people have lost their interest in sex, which is a generalization that’s simply not true. Regardless of my experience, I applaud SnailVibe for creating an innovative toy with the trimmings — like multiple motors and the case. The vibrator is 9.4 inches long in total (a bit shorter than an average forearm), and has an insertable length of 1.4 to 5.5 inches, the latter of which is about the average penis size. Increase the intensity by pressing the + button, and switch up the kind of vibration by pressing the S button.
Wand massagers are always a good choice, but most of them aren’t bath-proof. Well, that’s until the Luna Personal Massager stepped onto the scene because this baby can be dunked, splashed around, you name it. This cordless wand vibrator provides all the external stimulation you need with its 20 vibration patterns and eight intensity settings. Women who used vibrators scored higher on the FSFI scale (total score) for two out of the three age groups, namely the and age groups (but not for the age cohort). The collected data did not permit for establishing a causal explanation. Lots of vibrating toys have multiple pulse patterns to suit your needs.
Some are and the key is to look for a vibrator that explicitly says it’s “waterproof” as opposed to being “water-resistant”. The latter simply means that it’s fine to get water on it but it shouldn’t be submerged underwater for longer than a few seconds. Waterproof , on the other hand, is completely submersible and can be taken into a bathtub for hours without breaking.
