This sex toy was voted best for solo pleasure by our expert

In fact, there are a bunch of different kinds of vibrators out there—and it’s sensible to understand each kind before selecting one (or a few) to spend money on. According to their website, the Doxy Original Massager is 30 percent more powerful than Hitachi’s wand. Its large head and buttons make it easy to maneuver and change settings. I can’t test for whether the Doxy is exactly 30 percent more powerful, but it nonetheless had the same “foolproof orgasm” vibes — literally and figuratively — as other wands. Yes, the Womanizer is a suction toy, meaning it’s not this writer’s favorite.

Our panel loved the smooth silicone finish of this bullet vibrator, while the harder plastic handle helped them keep a good grip during use. Testers said the tapered tip made it easier to target key pleasure points, and they liked playing with the (many) vibration patterns. Our testers praised the wide variety of settings to choose from, including nine vibrating functions and 10 suction settings. The also loved the super sleek, sculpted design and soft feel of the silicone against their skin.

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.

It uses “WaveMotion technology” that allows the larger arm of the Ina Wave 2 to curl in the same way human fingers making a “come hither” gesture do. That finger-like motion stimulates the G-spot, while the external arm acts as a clitoral stimulator. “The Magic Wand is still our No. 1 seller. We carry other wands, but it’s still the best. It has a reputation like no other,” says Amrich. The $70 model has a classic design that provides powerful vibration and must be plugged in while in use, while the newer, rechargeable model is $150.

Plus, the soft silicone coating and ergonomic design meant it was comfortable to wield, with no hand cramp reported. The sloped tip scored extra points with our panel for its ability to stimulate the G-spot, while the bunny ears are perfectly positioned to target the clitoris. The super-soft silicone also feels great against the skin, making it a pleasure to use and to hold.

It has six intensity levels and offers contactless clitoral stimulation using air suction technology, rather than the direct contact vibrations you get from a wand. This best-selling G-spot vibrator uses air technology to stimulate your clitoris via pulses and suction. At the same time, you can choose from 10 different rumbly vibration patterns to target the G-spot. What’s also unique about this toy is the post-orgasm ‘Afterglow’ setting that tapers your experience into a quiet finish.

Le Wand is the only toy of the three that comes with a travel pouch vibrator, which is a huge plus for storage at home or anywhere else. Doxy is unable to be detached from its cord, so keep that in mind when figuring out where it’ll go in your collection. If you’re like me , a vibrator just needs to buzz in order to get you off. If pulsing is what gets you over the edge, however, you have your pick of patterns. The end goal is to be able to give concrete feedback about what they can do to maximize their pleasure. With feedback from a gadget like the Lioness, women can see for themselves what does and doesn’t work.

So we spoke with experts and tested some for ourselves to find the best wand vibrators around. This dual-action couples massager is so high-tech, it’s as if it were sent to us from the year 3000 by benevolent, sex-savvy innovators who have totally nailed the whole simultaneous orgasm thing. The Duo can pleasure both partners at once with its two motors, multiple vibrating patterns and a wireless remote that helps operate the toy by coordinating with the user’s hand movements. Check out the Lelo site for detailed instructions on how to get the most pleasure out of the massager. It uses built-in sensors to see how your body responds to it in real time, and offers insight on what kind of stimulation works best for your sexual pleasure via a companion app.
