National Masturbation Month: The history of the vibrator

Vibrators come in a wide variety of materials, shapes viberators, sizes and power settings. You head online and choose the most appealing looking sex toy in your price bracket. But, what if we told you that refining your search could make a big difference to your climax quota?

It’s a good option for travel, too, since it’s smaller than a standard wand and it has a travel lock function. If you ever wish you could give up control of your sex toy to a long-distance partner—or even to a random person you meet online; we don’t judge! —you should consider a Bluetooth-compatible option like this stroker. While the F1S (above) might be the winner in terms of vibration strength and sheer luxury, its “teledildonic” capabilities aren’t quite as streamlined as those offered by Lovense, a brand that specializes in this type of toy.

We would recommend these models, which are typically priced around $90, to experienced sex-toy connoisseurs looking for something different, rather than to newbies shopping for their first vibrator. The Womanizer OG is a wand with a larger suction mouth designed for internal (G-spot) stimulation, though it can also be used externally. However, some customer reviewers who say they have large clitorises, prefer more gentle stimulation, or like a longer handle say they’ve found this toy to be good for external stimulation.

The unique sloping side scored extra points for its ability to target the G-spot, while the bunny ears were positioned in just the right spot to stimulate the clitoris. Wands expertly deliver vibrations to a wide surface area—but if you’ve got a hankering for the more pinpointed stimulation that a tongue or clitoral vibrator can offer, consider the Le Wand Flick. “Flick is an attachment that turns your massager into a flickering, tongue-mimicking tease machine,” says Box.

Searching for specific product reviews or experiences shared by users online can help you make an informed decision based on others’ experiences. Like the Hitachi , Le Wand has a “wave” button to cycle through the patterns, but it has a plus and minus button to change the speed (also, the plus button serves as “on” while minus serves as “off”). Similar to the other toys, Le Wand has both vibration and pulsing available, just with more variety in terms of the quickness and intensity of the pulses — these patterns are all laid out in Le Wand’s user guide.
