Vibrolator® ABU Ball Vibrator
It’s not fun to be into a specific sensation and level of power, and then for it to go in a different direction immediately. Variety may be the spice of life, but not when you’re about to orgasm. This thing is essentially a cock ring attached to a vibrating butt plug, but what sets it apart from other such toys is the clitoral stimulator for use on your partner. The vibrator itself has two speeds and five vibration patterns , while the beaded shaft adds extra pleasure for penetrative sex. “I had a great time with this toy vibrator, even as someone who is newer to anal play!,” one Lovehoney reviewer wrote.
More than 25 products were distributed to couples who used them to explore connection from afar, including LGBTQ+ couples who were able to pair devices designed for the same gender. But the interactivity of this toy is impressive thanks to We-Vibe’s mobile application, which means a partner can cycle through over eight different rhythms and speeds from afar. Dr. Torrisi recommends the Ollie because it’s “super light, playful, and straightforward.” Meanwhile, the toy is coated in medical-grade silicone and the buttons are well-labeled (no more fumbling around frustrated in the dark). “Sex furniture allows couples to support different sexual positions,” says Lawless.
For powerful external stimulation on not just your clitoris but all erogenous zones, this may be the toy for you. According to Javay Frye-Nekrasova, sex educator and pleasure expert at Lovehoney, these vibrators have large, bulbous wand heads that rumble for the right amount of intensely satisfying stimulation. This device’s strong vibrations can be used all over the body for direct stimulation, and they’re also popularly used as head-to-toe massagers for sore muscles.
Shannon also appreciates that it’s waterproof and can get the job done. “I like that it’s battery operated because if it dies, you just pop new batteries in and you’re ready to go,” she adds. This banana-inspired toy was my first-ever clitoral vibrator—and, after a decade of testing and reviewing other vibes, it remains in my regular rotation. While the Sunshine Vibrator is marketed as a G-spot vibrator, I’ve found that it’s just as pleasurable and easy to use on my clit.
The bottom button’s sole purpose is to cycle backward through the aforementioned settings—a lifesaver when you wish to revisit a prior setting without cycling through 14 other settings along the way. The small, sleek Satisfyer Purple Pleasure vibrator is an excellent value at a typical price of $40 (a similar model from a different manufacturer that we’ve tested retails for $90), yet it makes no sacrifices in quality. With its aesthetically pleasing streamlined shape, waterproof silicone body, and USB rechargeable battery, this toy looks and feels like a more expensive “luxury” vibrator.
Understand that using sex toys is part of having a healthy and satisfying sex life, and many people use them regularly so there’s no need to feel like you’re abnormal for wanting to try them for yourself. If you’re unsure whether your toy is waterproof, the first thing you should do is check the packaging and instruction manual as this is a key selling feature of sex toys and will definitely be made clear if it is. If it doesn’t say it’s waterproof, err on the side of caution and assume it’s not. I promise—this is the last Womanizer product I’ll mention, but there’s a good reason it’s here.
Heavy-handed strumming confirms that the Gold Label 814e is capable of being very loud. It also highlights a pronounced midrange that, for all the guitar’s string-to-string balance, can be a bully if you have a heavy touch. If your approach is more varied and sensitive, though, the extra volume becomes headroom and the midrange becomes a chrome shine set against a dusty desert patina. A light touch can still generate detailed, complex overtone pictures, while the high headroom accommodates and inspires high-contrast high-intensity counter phrasings. Say the word “vibrator,” and visions of a cylindrical, buzzing thing will undoubtedly come to mind. And while this dildo-like toy is what a lot of people are referring to when they talk about a vibrators, phallic objects really only comprise one branch of the larger vibrator tree in the diverse and beautiful garden of sex toys.
I totally get that $200 is a lot for a sex toy you might not like until you try it. Its Pro 2 model offers a similar clitoral stimulation to the Womanizer, but for much less. You don’t get all of the same features as you would with the Womanizer Premium (like the autopilot or Smart Silence features), but at that price, I wouldn’t expect them.
They can be used externally on the penis, vulva, clitoris, and anus, or can be used internally in the anus or vagina. Continued stimulation can create feelings of sexual pleasure and may eventually lead to orgasm. “The softness of the material is a welcome reprieve from harder sex toys,” one SELF tester says. “I like to really press my vibrators against my vulva when I use them, and I can do that with the Pebble without pain.” This quiet toy can also be used on nipples, penises, and the nerve-dense region between your bits and butt. These vibes are more travel-friendly and discreet than most other sex toys—they’re small enough to slip into a clutch, a pocket, or, hell, even wear as jewelry.
