D I.Y Sex Toys: Self-Love Edition
The brand has since launched numerous iterations, including the G-Spot Rabbit Vibrator. It’s designed like a standard dildo, only it’s a bit shorter and curved at the end to stimulate the G-spot. The additional protrusion—in the shape of a rabbit complete with two bunny ears— stimulates the clitoris at the same time.
Considering how intense the vibrations are, many people are unlikely to want to use it for more than 20 minutes straight regardless. Clitoral vibrators are popular because stimulating the clitoris often plays a key role in pleasure. This works for solo stimulation, or for those who are looking to achieve more intense pleasure during sex with a partner.
Designed to be worn between your fingers, the Fin is an easy-to-grasp sex toy that can stay discreet during sex, Lisa Finn, sex educator with sex toy store Babeland, tells SELF. “You don’t have to worry about it slipping from your hands as you play, which is great for mobility and accessibility as well as keeping it from being obstructive or in the way ,” they say. It’s also water-resistant, USB-rechargeable, and has three low-intensity settings that you can explore by pressing its only button.
We know that’s a lot to consider, but this is an important decision. The Je Joue MiMi Soft is made with an extra layer of silicone for extra plush pressure that is soft and smooth. It has five vibration levels and patterns for a nice variety of sensations. If you want to start off super basic, this mini Power Bullet is right up your alley. It’s inexpensive (only $11!), small vibrators, and has one easy button to control the vibrations. It may be no frills, but that doesn’t mean it’s no fun — you’ll still get plenty of pleasure.
A combo of vibration and “tongue” licking (lube up for a realistic glide) targets your clit for maximum orgasming power, and you can also hold it against a male partner’s penis during a blowjob to really turn up the heat. You can also feel comfortable knowing your privacy is top of mind — it features Smart Silence Technology, meaning your toy only turns on when it touches your skin. In the sonic sphere, theConnaisseur MJ exhibits many classic spruce-and-mahogany characteristics.
There can be a bit of a learning curve in terms of optimal positioning when using this toy, as applying too much pressure may cause the tongue’s motion to stall. We loved its simple, utilitarian design and powerful vibrations (with three intensity modes), as well as its relatively affordable price. Unfortunately, two long-term testers encountered issues with the toy’s lithium-ion battery bricking within or just after the one-year warranty period, particularly if they didn’t keep it consistently charged. Keeping sex toys clean is extremely important for helping to prevent sexually transmitted infections, especially if you share your toys with partners.
However, the term is also sometimes used more broadly to refer to small handheld vibrators in general. At $136, this vibrator doesn’t exactly deserve the title of a budget-friendly sex toy. But considering that the Vibrato can be used as a wand vibe, dildo, and G-spot stimulator, it certainly earns its keep as a high-value bedside must-have. The clean design and rose gold accents emphasised the fact that this is a quality toy.
Insertable up to 17cm, the Silencer features a rounded tip and a silky-smooth shaft that’s ribbed for extra pleasure. It’s battery operated and completely waterproof, so go ahead and get your rub-a-dub-dub on in the tub. Designed to be felt but not heard, the Silencer is a whisper-quiet classic vibrator that comes from the “sexual happiness people” over at Lovehoney. If just three vibration options sounds too limiting, might we suggest the Minna Ola?
