Introducing inBloom by The Vibed—an all-new line of flower-shaped sex toys inspired by the viral rose vibrator, delivering jaw-dropping fun in a super-cute package! This affordable, handheld line of vibrators and pulsators has a toy for everyone! Featuring three similarly sized products, each with unique functions, inBloom’s petite, 100% body-safe silicone, USB-magnetic-rechargeable line has the three bases of clitoral stimulation completely covered! Whether you want suction that mimics oral sex, flicking tongue action, or broad vibration, inBloom has it all. The collectible line is prepared with different bodies and desires in mind while still being lightweight and travel friendly.
First from the inBloom collection is Lilium. Lilium is a petite vibrator shaped like a blooming white lily, speckled with dozens of smooth filaments that gently brush when Lilium is powered on. These tiny tips provide multiple points of stimulation not only to the clitoris, but the surrounding area for even broader pleasure coverage.
Use Lilium with a water-based lubricant to let the soft ticklers glide smoothly across the whole vulva. Lilium features 10 vibrating functions total, including 3 speeds and 7 pulsation patterns, which are super easy to use with its one-button control. Perfect for beginners, intermediates, or advanced users, Lilium’s gentle ticklers paired with multiple speeds and patterns is sure to be a favorite!
Second from the inBloom collection is Tulipa. Tulipa’s tulip-inspired shape has a long spadix jutting out of the center. The spadix acts as a tongue, which flicks back and forth for a realistic oral encounter like no other! Use a water-based lubricant with Tulipa to keep the tongue smooth and slick, keeping your erogenous zones wet and ready for more. The flicking tongue can be used externally on the clitoris, to tease and tickle the vaginal opening, or to delightfully rim the anus.
Alternatively, try Tulipa on a nipple or other external erogenous zones to spice things up. With a simplistic one-button control and featuring 3 speeds and 7 patterns of vibration, Tulipa’s 10 total settings are designed to provide breathtaking stimulation. Whether used solo or with a partner, Tulipa is the handheld oral sex experience that’s got everyone abuzz!
Last, but certainly not least from the inBloom series is the viral sensation Rosales, a red, rose-shaped clitoral sucking vibrator. Rosales is the adult toy that’s on everyone’s wishlist. This viral sex toy shape blew up on TikTok as users jokingly referred to it as the “Soul-Snatcher 2000,” with some going as far to buy two of them at the same time just in case they lost one!
This discreet, romantic stimulator uses air pulsation to gently send waves of stimulation for mind-blowing clitoral pleasure. Just place the round mouth over the clitoris—with a drop of water-based lube if you prefer—and use Rosales’s single button to initiate the suction modes. The easy-to-hold handheld design means it can be used solo or given to a partner to encourage participation! Use it on the clitoris or a nipple during sex—the possibilities are endless! Featuring 3 suction speeds and 7 pulsating patterns, the Rosales rose vibrator is sure to be a fan favorite!
All 3 vibrators from the inBloom collection use simple controls to deliver strong stimulation. The ergonomic flower buds feature 3 speeds and 7 patterns in their respective functions, each controlled by a single button. inBloom toys are rechargeable, with 75 minutes of charge time bringing 90 minutes of play. The USB charging port comes with a magnetic charging dock, which each toy rests upon in a super-cute display! Made of body-safe silicone, each vibrator is silky smooth and molded to look and feel like a lily, tulip, or rose, hiding in plain sight looking pretty on your nightstand, and feeling fantastic in the sheets. All toys come with a limited 1-year warranty.

]]>If you’re like a lot of people, your experience with pumps begins and ends with the time you saw Austin Powers use one to fend off an assailant. Or maybe you saw one tucked away on the family planning shelf in your local pharmacy. In any case, pop culture hasn’t made exceptionally clear what these things do. They actually have a lot of applications for men and women! The practical applications for pumps range from inducing erections, temporarily and minorly plumping genitalia, and just feeling some fun suction sensation! Read on to explore with us about which pump works for you.
In 1874, Dr. John King experimented with the first penis pump, which he called the “glass exhauster.” Built to achieve an erection, it used negative pressure to force blood into the two corpora cavernosa and the corpus spongiosum, the three chambers of the penis responsible for erections. While the exhauster made it that far, it didn’t last, with blood rushing back to the body after removal. It wasn’t until 43 years later in 1917 when Otto Lederer patented his “surgical device to produce erection with vacuum” that the pump was combined with an elastic retention ring that kept the blood from immediately returning to the body when the vacuum was removed.
Over 100 years since Otto Lederer’s completion of John King’s invention, along with continued use of erection production, we’ve had plenty of time to develop and pervert to our horniest desires the functionality of pumps. Somewhere along the line, marketing for pumps started to confound erection production and massive penis growth. This is a bit of a fallacy. While some plumping may occur, the effect is quite small and temporary. Though, some trans men who opt out of bottom surgery have found some level of satisfying growth in their clitoral tissue when combining suction with hormone therapy.
It’s expected that men might follow the “bigger is better” mentality, but this temporary swelling effect heightens sensitivity for added fun on vulvas as well! Suction feels good everywhere! Like the penis, vulva pumps make the labia and clit hypersensitive, along with producing a plump appearance. Specialized clit, nipple, and breast pumps apply the same principal for stimulation play everywhere else.
Don’t forget that there is such thing as too much suction. You’re essentially giving yourself a big hickey with these pumps, which of course is sexy, but it can produce prolonged discoloration and pain if not given properly. When pumping, always READ INSTRUCTIONS attached to the device for proper suction level, pump slowly, and take breaks.
Hydro pumps by Bathmate use water rather than air as the suction agent to ensure that suction is applied evenly over the length of your shaft and around the head. Fill any pump from the Hydromax or HydroXtreme series with water while in the bath or shower, slide your penis in, and hold it firmly against your pelvis. Water is then pumped out, creating suction and forcing the enhancement and erection strength you’re looking for. Metric and standard measurement lines embedded on the body allow you to see the magic and monitor the growth in real time.
Automatic pumps utilize automatic suction to bypass the need for trigger or bulb pumps. With auto-vacuum suction, you can utilize simple one-hand operation to activate suction and release with the quick-release button. By tapping or feathering the quick-release button, you can simulate an amazing oral sex sensation. The Renegade Powerhouse Pump by NS Novelties achieves this with three buttons for low, medium, and high levels of customizable suction.
Suction is a popular avenue for female pleasure in recent years! Applying suction to the clitoris or labia arouses nerve endings well below the surface for deep-reaching sensation while plumping the skin to be extra-sensitive. The Sensual Pump-Her from Fantasy For Her by Pipedream applies this concept to the whole vulva with a nubbed cup that sucks against the body with a hand pump and vibrates.
For more focused stimulation, consider a clitoral suction toy like the Ultimate Climax-Her from Fantasy For Her. The silicone hood surrounds the clitoris to deliver 12 exciting suction modes!
Suction feels great above the belt too! While pumps may be too large or apply excessive suction to the nipple, there are suction toys specialized for this purpose. Nipple suckers like the Hunkyjunk Elong Nipple Suckers stick to the nipples with a light grip by squeezing the cylinder and then applying to the nipple. The wide flare helps Elong to adapt to all nipple sizes and piercings. They are perfect for all nipple owners too!
Though pumps are often marketed toward male growth (a bit problematically), their capacity for temporary plumping and erection achievement have long been effective. But most important, they feel great! While you explore new techniques for solo and interpersonal pleasure, get pumped to experiment with suction!
]]>Teddy Roosevelt once said, “Speak softly and carry a big stick.” In other words, for our purposes, confidence in your “arsenal” can translate to confidence in your sexual endeavors. Beyond the gratifying psychosexual image of a big cock, a receiver may want deeper penetration to reach the sensitive A-spot, or thicker penetration to fully stretch their vaginal or anal canal. Or a penetrator may want a tighter grip on their penis. If it’s difficult to deliver with your natural anatomy, a “big stick” may seem like a lot to ask for, but it’s quite accessible with penis sleeves and extensions!
Sleeves and extensions can be made of a variety of materials, as with all sex toys, but they are most prevalently made of TPR or TPE. These extra-squishy materials ensure the right amount of give to comfortably fit between two bodies, and to provide a lifelike, supple skin feel. The Oxballs Daddy 10” Cocksheath, for example, is made of a signature FLEX-TPR that snugly hugs the balls, shaft, and head in a full penis shape for full-coverage sensation.
Measure your penis! For length, measure along the top of your penis from the pubis bone to the tip. At the thickest part of your penis, measure side-to-side to determine the width, and around to determine the circumference. Sleeves and extensions often list these dimensions to determine whether the size fits for you. Additionally, some sleeves, like the Oxballs Miguel Cocksheath come with an insertable stopper to adjust to the length of your penis. Some sleeves can even be trimmed at the base to fit comfortably without leaving space to bend or slip off.
Skin-to-skin contact will be reduced, but extra constriction will be added for the wearer, and extra stretching for the receiver. Sleeves like the Erection Enhancer Sleeves from CONTROL by Sir Richard’s, only widen the shaft of the penis to leave the head open and uncovered, while also providing textural massage for the receiver from the ribs on the outside. Additionally, the sleeve can be flipped inside out to transfer textural pleasure to the wearer. For extra stimulation, adding lube will not only help the wearer slip into the sleeve, but also accelerate extra movement inside of it.
A vibrating sleeve like those in the Adam and Eve Vibrating Penis Sleeve Kit even feature buzzing bullets that pleasure both partners at once!
While penis sleeves and extensions are often branded as “enhancers,” they are truthfully, like any sex toy, a means to try out new sensations and experiences, and not a dig at your penis. Like a strap-on, an additional or enlarged appendage opens new avenues to fulfill fantasies, desires, or even fetish roleplay with a sleeve like the canine-inspired Fido Pup-Knot Cocksheath from Oxballs. If you’re curious, armor up and dive in!

Pleasure Air Technology toys work a little differently than a typical vibrator. Many users equate the feeling Pleasure Air toys produce to a more stimulating version of oral sex. Rather than applying pressure and moving a vibrator on the clitoris, Pleasure Air Toys rest on the clitoris without making contact with much of the vulva.
Since these toys are pretty powerful, start on the lowest setting. If that feels nice but perhaps too soft, go on up, level by level, until you find your magic spot. If that feels too intense, try getting warmed up first with your normal form of clitoral pleasure. This could be another toy, hands, oral sex, etc. Then, just lay back and let the toy do its magic! The beauty of these toys is that they do so much of the work for you.
Just like receiving oral, moisture improves the sensation. I recommend just making sure to use some water-based lube (like Sliquid Sassy) to make the air waves more pleasurable.
Since they entered the market about a decade ago, clit suction toys have gotten very popular. But despite many similar toys from other companies, the original, Womanizer, and its WOW Tech partners set the standard. WOW Tech encompasses Womanizer, ROMP Toys, and We-Vibe, among other brands. Together, the three companies carry a TON of different models that encompass everyone from true power-users to sex toy newbies who don’t want to spend much money (see below for exact recommendations). Their motors are thuddy (which means the sensations penetrate skin well), and are made to last for many, many years.
When picking the best Pleasure Air Toy for your needs, make sure to think about your main uses and budget. Do you travel a lot? Do you like luxury and convenient tech add-ons? Do you want a good generalist? Do you want something battery-operated for a trip? WOW Tech and The Vibed have you covered. Let’s hop into what models to look at depending on your needs.
The strongest and most luxurious Pleasure Air Tech toy on the market is, hands down, the Womanizer Premium. As the pioneer of this toy category, Womanizer always delivers with strong motors and unbeatable quality. The Premium model features a luxe, silicone exterior with metal accents (and comes in lots of beautiful color combinations), and it’s completely waterproof for bathtime fun. The Womanizer Premium has a wide range of intensity settings, starting with a gentle purr and ramping all the way up to an ultra-powerful final setting sure to take your over the edge as many times as desired.
The Premium also has some tech features that make for a smoother user experience. The first is called “Smart Silence,” which means that the toy turns itself off whenever it isn’t touching a body—perfect for anyone with privacy concerns or a clitoris that gets extra sensitive after orgasm. In addition, the Premium features an “autopilot” setting that does all the work for you for a hands-free roller coaster of pleasure.
If you’re thinking that Pleasure Technology Sounds like the perfect accompaniment to penetration or any other partnered activities, look no further than the We-Vibe Melt. This clit suction toy is designed to fit nicely between bodies and is fully covered in silicone for easy cleaning after use. Melt has a similar motor to the Womanizer Premium and has an ergonomic handle for easy grip during action.
Perhaps what’s coolest and what truly sets the Melt apart from its pack is its long-distance capability. The Melt is fully app-compatible so it can be controlled from far away. This is perfect for long-distance lovers during the pandemic who want to engage in playtime safely, or for folks who want something fun and different for the bedroom.
If you’re more concerned with discretion and compact size, check out the Womanizer Liberty. Liberty is similar to the Womanizer Premium, but in a smaller package featuring a magnetic lid that’s perfect for travel or anyone who wants an ultra-discreet sex toy. It has a similar, high-quality motor but is designed to be as compact and efficient as possible for people on the go.
The Womanizer Starlet 2 is a very similar toy, featuring the same motor and just a slightly larger body.
The differences are:
1) The Womanizer Starlet 2 does not come with a magnetic lid.
2) The Starlet 2 is about $20 cheaper.
3) The Starlet 2 runs for less time on a single charge.
Both are excellent and fulfill similar roles in any sex toy collection. Just decide whether the travel lid and extra run time are essential for you.
If everything else on this list feels a bit pricey for you, that is totally okay! Sex toys can be really expensive, making them inaccessible to lots of people, and that just isn’t cool. Pleasure is a human right! That’s why it’s so great that ROMP has three options under the $50 price point. The Switch, Shine, and Free coming in at $29.99, $39.99, and $49.99 respectively, making them perfect for people just getting into sex toys or those with more restrictive budgets.
The Womanizer Classic is the perfect middle ground, marrying many of the traits of the aforementioned toys. The Classic has a similar motor to the premium, with a more compact frame similar to the Starlet. A great option for any clit owner, the Classic features the same magnetic charging and waterproof exterior as other Womanizers. And as always, Womanizer exceeds on both power and quality. A great choice for anyone.
At the end of the day, these are all really great toys, and you’ll probably love any of them. Most users appreciate the speed and intensity with which Pleasure Air Toys pull orgasms out of them and say that these toys are the best money they’ve spent! Just figure out which qualities would make a toy ideal versus good for you and pick accordingly to ensure the best match for you. With so many options, you’re sure to meet the sex toy of your dreams.

Penis rings, or cock rings, or C-rings, or love rings, etc, were initially paired with penis pumps as a deterrent to erectile dysfunction. Pumps apply suction to bring blood flow to the penis, and once the penis was erect, stretching a ring over the base of the penis would restrict blood flow from escaping.
This is still a widely used and effective method to treat ED, but rings have additional benefits for sensation and extended performance. Without the use of a pump, rings are applied just before a full erection to restrict blood flow, leaving the penis plump and swollen for extra sensitivity, along with slight pressure on the urethra for delayed orgasms and longer sexual escapades.
Since penis rings are simple devices, you won’t need to break the bank to try one, which you can find from nearly every company. The ENDURO+ Silicone Cock Ring from Nexus is as simple as it gets—just a smooth, round ring.
For a ring with tighter constriction, lube up a Ringo Ritz before applying.
For aesthetic features, try the Pipe Clamp from CONTROL by Sir Richard’s. This ring is stretchy, smooth, and straightforward.
If you want to crank up the sensations, particularly with a partner, you might want to try a vibrating cock ring. These penis rings come with vibrating motors to better please you and your partner at once! The Thunder Bunny by VeDO turns your cock into a rabbit vibrator with vibrating bunny ears that provide powerful clit stimulation with every thrust. Or, when worn with the ears under the shaft and facing your own body, transmit powerful rumbling vibration to your balls. Also featuring an extra loop to turn this cock ring into ballsling as well!
Just like a cock ring constricts the urethra to extend an orgasm, you can stretch a ring over your balls to do the same! The constriction adds extra distance for semen to travel from the balls to the urethra while adding a pleasurable tug with every thrust. Additionally, many people like the look of low-hanging balls. You can accomplish this by purchasing multiple rings and stacking them one at a time, or a thicker ring fitted for the balls like the Squeeze Soft-Grip Ballstretcher from Oxballs. This sleeve is soft and blubbery to ensure safe stretching, and has an hourglass shape for more comfortable wear. Note only to engage in ball stretching gradually and for short periods of time to avoid injury!
Cock slings combine the constriction of a cock ring and the stretch of a ball ring in one device. Suit up with a sling like the Cocksling 2 from Oxballs for comfortable and cool accessorizing. In addition to combining multiple constrictive sensations into one device, the sling doubles as a bulge enhancer when you’re flaccid. Think of it like a pushup bra for your nards. It pushes everything up and out for that wow factor that’s noticeable even under clothes without looking like you’re pitching a full tent.
]]>But there’s good news. A highly sensitive clitoris is just that—a sensitive organ that just happens to go into sensory overload when touched—and that’s no reason to feel “less than.” There are lots of different ways a vulva owner can experience pleasure, and they’re all equally beautiful, glorious, and complex.
If you feel like you have a hypersensitive clitoris, you might have already found some satisfactory approaches to pleasure and orgasm that work well for you. If you haven’t, all you might need is a little more knowledge, a few new methods, and perhaps some helpful toys to be well on your way to pleasure town.
Unless you had a fantastic sex ed class (let’s be honest, did any of us?), there’s always something more to learn. We’ve already mentioned how the clitoris is jam-packed with nerve endings, but did you know the clitoris actually extends inward under your pubic mound? The small joy button on the outside is only the beginning of it!
Each section of the clitoris can have different levels of pleasure and sensitivity, so use your fingers to gently explore what feels good to you both externally and internally. It might be difficult to fully climax with your fingers, but you can get an idea of which areas feel good and which feel a bit too sensitive, so you can apply this knowledge later with toys. Understanding what feels good for you will not only make your self-love experiences better, but it’ll also help you be able to communicate your desires with your partner too.
If you’re someone who has perhaps been intimidated to try any sex toys at all because of sensitivity concerns, fear not, because the Iroha line by Tenga is a safe and unintimidating place to start.
Everything about this particular line feels naturally beginner-friendly, and the super soft and supple silicone utilized in each of their toys feels really gentle against the skin.
And as an added bonus, these toys have some of the most beautiful and elegant designs we’ve ever seen. Let’s break some of them down.
Take the Yoru, Tori, and Kushi, for example. Made from squishy silicone, these palm-sized vibrators feature a curvy side that allows for the toy to easily be cupped in the hand for total control. Each vibrator also has its own accentuated ridges and rounded tips for pinpoint pleasure. The Yoru even offers a unique open design that can envelop and tease the clitoris as well as other erogenous zones.
You might also want to try Iroha Rin, a wand that takes sensitivity into consideration. While many wands on the market boast power and strong vibrations, the Iroha Rin is designed for lighter stimulation rather than intensity. It features a unique soft sphere tip that is not only super squishy, but works to dampen the intensity of the vibrations as well for a more pleasurable experience. With 4 vibration strengths and 2 pulse patterns, there is a variety of sensations to explore, and the ergonomic easy-to-hold shape allows for total control. The spherical tip can also be inserted for a unique internal sensation.
If direct pressure to the clitoris is too overwhelming, you can try adding a layer or two of clothing between your skin and the toy to slightly dampen the vibrations and control the intensity. Caress and Starlet 2 are just two toys that can both be used on top of your underwear or additional clothing, and Starlet even offers contactless stimulation for highly sensitive clits.
The Caress by Adrien Lastic works by enveloping the clitoris while gently caressing the area with super soft silicone attachments. It comes with five different head attachments that change easily and intuitively. Each head offers varying sensations as well as variable flexibility, from super bendy to more firm. While Caress only comes with one vibration level, it has 10 different rotation modes, so you can try multiple patterns to explore what works best for you.
If you’re finding that direct pressure on your clitoris is unenjoyable or even painful, consider going after sexual pleasure with an entirely different approach. The Starlet 2 by Womanizer uses air waves to deliver pleasant suction and gentle massaging.
Designed with patented Pleasure Air Technology, the experience is entirely touchless, and thanks to its smooth and ergonomic shape, you can easily control how pinpointed the sensation is by bringing the toy closer to your body or moving it further away. It is also equipped with four different intensity levels, so you can choose the amount of air pressure that is most comfortable for your sensitivity level. And last but not least, Starlet is entirely waterproof. If the air waves feel too powerful as is, taking it for a dip in the bath will slightly dampen the air waves, making for an even gentler experience.
Did you know that those with a highly sensitive clitoris might find that a G-spot orgasm is more obtainable than a clitoral orgasm? With that being said, you’ll need toys that go a little deeper.
Consider going for depth with a curved toy designed for G-spots, like the Sensuelle Baelii. This flexible, internal vibrator has a sleek, curved tip designed for delivering pinpointed G-spot stimulation. With a press of a button, you can easily cycle through a wide range of different vibration modes (20, in fact) until you find the most comfortable and pleasurable sensation for your needs.
Still want to enjoy some clitoral stimulation, but perhaps not direct stimulation? Remember, there are tons of nerve endings down there, and they’re not all concentrated in the outward button of the clitoris. The area surrounding the clitoris (called the U-spot) can bring lots of joyful pleasure without the feeling of sensory overload.
For this type of pleasure, consider the very unique (and very cute) Le Wand Deux. Instead of applying vibrations directly to the clitoris, this toy gently surrounds the clitoris with its curved design and stimulates nearby erogenous tissues. Equipped with a twin-motor, this mini vibrator offers 15 rumbly vibration modes and 6 arousing intensity levels. That’s 90 different possible combinations of pleasure! And its discreet travel lock, microsuede pouch, and easy USB charging capability make it ideal for travel, too.
Sometimes the full-on vibratory experience feels too intense or just doesn’t quite feel right on the clitoris, and that’s okay. Consider trying toys with different sensations, like the Siren by SVAKOM, which offers an intriguing fluttering sensation as opposed to a vibration.
Designed to mimic oral sex, the Siren features a double-tongued design made from buttery soft silicone that gently ‘licks’ the clitoris and surrounding erogenous areas. Try using this side to tease your way to arousal, and then flip the toy to the other bulbous side, where you can use the head for insertion. Whether you desire G-spot stimulation or clitoral, you can easily cycle through one of two button controls. The double-tongue features 3 different stimulations while the rounded head combines 5 different modes with 5 different levels of intensities for a total of 25 different vibrations you can play with to discover your pleasure.
Remember, all clits are sensitive, and they’re all wonderful. It might take a little practice and exploration to find out what works best for you. There’s no right or wrong way to orgasm, and by reading this and committing to learning more about your body, you’re already halfway there!

A restraint is any system or device that limits movement or maintains a position. These include handcuffs, rope, tape, or most commonly, nylon or leather straps. These comfortable straps are often designed to fasten with other cuffs and systems for a completely customized setup! Bed restraints are a perfect starting point for these setups, and the Under the Bed Restraint System from Sportsheets is among the simplest. With no need for bedposts or mounting hardware, the system slips under any size of mattress and wraps around to cuff you or your partner at the wrists and ankles. When you’re done, just tuck them back under the mattress!
A hogtie is a method of restraint that cuffs the wearer’s arms and legs together to leave the submissive partner especially prone to their dom’s desires. Hogtie restraints are either wrapped around the wrists and tied together in the center or composed of comfortable cuffs clasped to an X-shaped fastener. A hogtie system like the Cumfy Hogtie from Fetish Fantasy Series makes quick and simple work of trussing up your sub like a succulent holiday meal with soft, fur-lined cuffs that are usable outside of a hogtie as well!
Bondage play is all about power dynamics. Sensory deprivation yields control for the dominant partner, and loss of sight yields intense anticipation for the submissive. A soft, yet heavy-duty blindfold like the Large Padded Leather Eye Mask by Rouge Garments is comfortable for longtime wear and stays secure with any movement. If you want to lean into the role-play of either partner, you might also consider a mask. The Master Series Bad Bunny Mask from XR can help portray the anonymous submissive ready for your orders or the mysterious stranger intimidating you into submission.
Control over speech is a powerful display of dominance. A gag, when paired with a nonverbal safe word, like three quick taps in succession, can be a thrilling form of deprivation and dungeon aesthetic. Gags come in multiple styles, such as a bit gag, which keeps the mouth open with a bar that sits behind your front teeth, or a ring gag, which spreads the mouth to take things in and out, or a ball gag, which blocks mouth movement altogether. The silicone Stopper Gag by CalExotics is a versatile gag that has a removable stopper to act like a ball gag or ring gag!
The ultimate symbol of ownership, collars and leashes are used to role-play, guide, tug, whip, choke, assert posture, and most importantly, show who’s in charge. Additionally, collars and leashes are a great tool of BDSM relationships that expand beyond the bedroom. Parading a leashed submissive in front of others is any combination of thrilling, gutsy, or humiliating that you and a partner may desire. A collar like this 3-Ringed Padded Leather Collar from Rouge Garments is as fashionable as it is functional. The ambiguity makes it fun as passers by wonder if you are merely fashion-forward or acting at the behest of a dom.
A chastity cage is a creative domination device that locks over the wearer’s penis to prevent them from achieving an erection. By handing the key to a dominant partner, the submissive surrenders all sexual gratification for as long as the dom desires. The CB-6000 Male Chastity Cage is comfortable, lightweight, and bathroom-friendly for long term wear and even airport travel with optional plastic locks!
Things that go “crack” against your body often make up the primary public perception of the BDSM lifestyle, and with good reason! Who doesn’t love a good spanking? Save your hand and add some extra volume with a paddle, flogger, or riding crop. The XOXO Paddle by Sportsheets comes with a negative relief of the letters XOXO across the surface that transfers to the skin with every smack!
On the opposite end of impact play, light touches can be even more invigorating than a hard smack. A fluffy feather or cold ball chain tickler can arouse the nerve endings to delightfully unbearable anticipation, especially when one partner is helplessly tied to the bed and blindfolded, anxiously awaiting touch. A Wartenberg wheel like the Stainless Steel Pinwheel by Rouge provides the ultimate in precision nerve ending arousal with sharp needles that roll lightly across the skin.
Electro stimulation, used in muscular therapy and creatively co-opted for sexual pleasure, incorporates electrical pulses into sensation play. E-stim devices lightly, and usually adjustably, shock the body. The sharp tingle from an electrode is exciting, and in the case of the Zeus Deluxe Edition Twilight Violet Wand Kit from XR, fun to watch too! The five glass stimulation heads, shaped for different sensations and areas of the body, glow purple when powered up, turning your electrosex into a light show!

Only as much as you want them to! Nipples are the most sensitive body part above the belt, protruding just enough to be pinched, tugged, sucked, and vibrated upon. There are multiple styles to play with that allow you to adjust the level of grip, including tweezers-style nipple clips like the Sincerely Jeweled Nipple Clips from Sportsheets, vice-grip-style clamps like the Master Series Crimson Tied Nipple Clamps from XR, or for a lighter tug, the Hünkyjunk Elongated Nipple Suckers from Oxballs, which form a vacuum against the body for ongoing sucking!
Sounding is an especially intrusive confluence of pain and pleasure that involves sticking objects into the urethra. The pleasurable burn is contrasted by absolute vulnerability to the inserter. Go deep enough with a safe-enough device that offers some give, like those in the Master Series Invasion Silicone Sound Set, and you may reach the highly erogenous prostate!
Absolutely! If you want to try physical restraint, impact play, and role-play all at once, BDSM kits and sets include elements of each so that you can surrender to pleasure instantly! The Sportsheets Intro to S&M Beginners Kit includes faux fur fuzzy handcuffs, a faux leather flogger, and a blindfold for an instant dungeon in one box!
With consent, communication, and a lust for control and/or surrender, the options for bondage and kink play have absolutely no limits (aside from those that you and your partner have established). As you delve deeper, we always continue to add new items to facilitate your creativity!
]]>But exist they do, and we’re getting into them here! We’re talking textured masturbation sleeves, anal plugs with rotating beads, multi-function prostate, perineum, and testicle massagers. There’s even an egg with stretch capabilities you need to see to believe.
As you’ll find out in our comprehensive guide below, men’s toys have definitely gotten more and more creative in recent years, and we’re loving the sex-positive approach toward new experiences and sensations. Since sexuality is highly personal, we’ve even broken the toys down into different categories to help you narrow your search.
Whether your masturbation is feeling a bit stale or you want to try something new with your partner, we’ve got just the toys to get you started. Once you start taking advantage of them, you'll wonder why you never did before.
If there is anything on a cishet man’s mind, it’s pussy. So what could be a better toy than a pussy you can carry around? This male self-pleasure toy is designed as a discreet coffee tumbler with a comfortable outer grip, but unscrew the end cap and you’ll find a lifelike vagina waiting to be penetrated. Made of Doc Johnson’s patented ULTRASKYN TPE, these strokers look as real as it gets; some are even molded directly from the bodies of your favorite pornstars! Each Main Squeeze masturbator features a unique internal texture, along with squeezable magnetic side plates to adjust pressure and a twist-open top to adjust suction.
One of the best parts about a BJ is the hands-free experience; just sit back and let someone else do the work while you enjoy the pleasure. So how do you get that sensation when you’re solo? Meet the Hummer.
The Hummer is a fully-automatic, super-powerful suction masturbator boasting 109 suction impulses per minute. With 5 intensity levels and 5 speeds, there are 25 ways for this innovative machine to suck you off, whether you want it slow and sensuous or fast and forceful. Just set it and watch; that’s it! And because of its plug-in capabilities, there’s no chance of it shutting off when you’re about to climax.
If thrusting your junk into a realistic vagina in a tube doesn’t strike your fancy, which is fair, consider the Tenga EGG series. At first sight, an egg might not be the most arousing of options, but once you crack it open, you might be a little more intrigued. Made from material so silky you have to feel it to really appreciate it, the egg has a small hole where you’ll find a small packet of lube to get things perfectly slippery. Simply empty the lube into the egg and add a little to the outer rim for ease, then slip the sleeve over your head for a different kind of handjob experience. The egg stretches all the way from tip to base over a penis of any length or girth. There are a variety of eggs to try out, all promising different interior sensations with names like “Thunder” and “Tornado.” As soon as you've finished, the egg can be tossed, and with a price point at a little under $7 an egg, you can try out a few without breaking the bank.
We love the We-Vibe Vector because of its unique C-shape design and the sensations it delivers to both your prostate and perineum. While many massagers aim for internal P-spot stimulation alone, pressure on the perineum massages it from the outside at the same time! The flexible base of the Vector adapts to your body, delivering shuddering pleasure to both areas, which can result in stronger orgasms. And because it can be controlled with a wireless remote or through Bluetooth via the We-Vibe app, it’s pretty close to a hands-free experience.
Want your sexual escapades to last longer and longer? Then consider training long and hard with the Main Squeeze Endurance Trainer from Doc Johnson. This stamina-training stroker is designed to replicate the sensations of intercourse with its lifelike material and intensely sensational internal ribbing, so you can continue to build your stamina over time. Use this toy over and over again to help improve your performance and techniques as well as heighten and intensify orgasms, because practice makes perfect, after all.
Masturbator sex toys aren’t always clandestine with their large size and realistic designs. This toy, however, hides in plain sight! The Intimate Therapy series from Sir Richard’s CONTROL by Pipedream will sit comfortably on your shower rack because it looks like a shampoo bottle. The clever design will go unnoticed by a passing eye, but unscrew the bottom to reveal a Fanta Flesh TPE vagina, mouth, or anus to enter. Squeezable like a shampoo bottle, you can adjust the pressure, and even pop open the flip cap to adjust suction.
If you’re introducing strokers to your jerk box for the first time but are unsure of which one to get, the Cyberskin Vulcan Ass Stroker is a great place to start. Not only does this toy feel as close to a butthole as the real thing, but it comes at a much more affordable price point than some of the other strokers on the market. Soft, lifelike outer lips start off the experience, and the ribbed internal sleeve pleasurably stimulates with movement like the real deal. To top it off, a warming lube heats with friction for an extra realistic feel. It’s an ideal toy for practicing technique or for everyday use. Also available in Pussy and Mouth!
Designed with rotating beads that spin at the anchor while vibrations hum inside you, the Rippled plug is by no means your average butt plug. With 7 vibration modes and 7 swirling patterns, the stem of this plug massages the opening of your anus with rotating beads, simulating the feeling of analingus or “rimming.” The sizeable plug additionally arouses internally for P-spot massage along with outer teasing. While you can certainly use this toy with the help of a partner, an optional remote control makes solo or partnered play easy.
If you’re looking for the best edging experience, or if you’re entirely new to it altogether, you’re going to want to try the CONTROL Vibrating Edging Trainer by Sir Richard’s. This toy is designed for solo or partnered stimulation. It works by wrapping the shaft with flexible, textured silicone wings that extend from a bullet that delivers powerful vibrations to your poker. The wings’ nubbed surface intensifies pleasure from small points, allowing it to purposefully delay orgasm in order to increase stamina. The focused vibrations additionally help those with erectile dysfunction by encouraging healthy blood flow to the penis.
Designed for both internal and external stimulation, the P-Rock is a prostate massager that kneads internally while pressing against the perineum externally for P-spot pleasure from two sides. With bulbous edges and a sturdy ABS build, the manually controlled prostate stimulator tickles the anus as it enters and its curved handle easily maneuvers the P-spot-targeting internal head and the upward-curving perineum massager. Simple design and multiple areas of stimulation make this anal sex toy a great bang for your buck. Did we mention it also comes with a 5 step prep kit to help you ease in?
If bigger is better, you can be assured the best P-spot dildo is massive. This big daddy measures 9 inches long and 2 inches wide, going well past deep enough to reach the prostate and making for lots of surface area to please every side of your ass. Dual-density design makes this TPE dildo firm, yet flexible with a pliable surface highly detailed to look like a big, hard, throbbing cock. The removable Vac-U-Lock suction cup makes this dildo strap-on compatible with multiple styles of harness.
Love the idea of a stroker, but want a little something more? Like other standard strokers, the VēDO Torpedo has an ultra-textured sleeve for heightened sensations, but it also has three motors to deliver intense vibrations throughout the whole masturbator to add an extra layer of pleasure to the experience. With 10 vibration modes from its triple motor setup, VēDO claims this stroker is “not for the faint of heart.” And for those who love a good shower stroke, you can go wild with your fantasies thanks to its fully submersible design, while night strokers can revel in the added glow-in-the-dark effects.
Tenga’s Spinner series continues the Japanese innovators’ tradition of unique and clever designs by introducing an automatic twisting sensation with every pull of this masturbator toy. An internal coil, visible through the translucent elastomer material, stretches and recoils with each tug of the end, making the masturbator automatically spin! Your penis will be caught in a tornado of sensation from the twirling internal textures, making for a one-of-a-kind stroke!
The “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it” mentality feels stale in our sex-positive world, and men deserve an upgrade from Lubriderm and tissues if they so desire! As you can see from our guide, there is an increasing amount of options for men depending on preference, and it’s a trend we don’t see going anywhere soon. So, whether you want to enhance your BJ experience or maybe try prostate stimulation for the first time, there is a toy for everyone. Remember, there’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing sex toys. Everyone loves pleasure.

Still, this is nothing new. You can go all the way back to ancient Grecian and Egyptian art to see depictions of phallic objects gleefully inserted into ancient butts. Mass production of anal toys goes as far back as the late 1800s with Dr. Young’s Ideal Rectal Dilators. These spade-shaped tapered cylinders with flared bases were advertised to relieve constipation, facilitate medical inspection of the rectum, or allow hemorrhoids to heal. The likely pseudonymous Dr. Young went on to claim the dilators could be used to relieve bad breath, acne, insomnia, headaches, insanity, and more, until the FDA shut it down in 1940. We suspect only an avid enthusiast could make such hyperbolic claims, thus providing an early example of the pleasure aroused from a butt plug.
Though the anal plug is still standard, plugs and other anal toys have gone on to vibrate, massage, rim, thrust, and more with all other kinds of motions and mechanics. Additionally, anal lubes have been formulated to reduce friction more comfortably and safely than ever. Examples of styles and options are below!
In terms of shape, butt plugs haven’t changed drastically since Dr. Young’s Dilators. Generally, a chubby “spade” shape narrows to a slim, but smoothly rounded tip at the entry point for gradual widening, then narrows to a stem at the other end with a flared base. Note that, when inserting a toy anally, to only use a toy with a flared base or some means of stopping before it goes too far, otherwise you might need an ER doctor to get it out for you!
People often use butt plugs because they like the feeling of “fullness.” The wide body stimulates a large surface area with each movement, and can be worn comfortably for extended periods of time. Boutique anal toy brand b-Vibe extends this feeling of fullness with their weighted Snug Plugs. With a more cylindrical body and flexible stem than your average butt plug, Snug Plugs enter easier, fill up more space, and sit more comfortably than others!
Like any sex toy shape, slip a vibrating bullet inside and it usually feels better. The sensitivity of the anus, the capacity for widely spread internal rumbles, and the proximity to the P-spot and A-spot make the booty an exceptional receptor to pleasurable vibrations. Vibrators are also great for back door beginners, in that you can play externally by tickling the rim before going for full penetration.
The A-Play series from Doc Johnson apply these vibrations in a remote-controlled anal plug. Slip it in and enjoy free-moving solo fun thanks to the remote, or pass it off to a partner if you’re adventurous! Some plugs, like the A-Play Rimmer pinpoint pleasure directly to the rim with beads that rotate at the plug’s neck!
Safe anal pleasure is all about patience, preparation, and practice. You always want to experiment with a finger or with external stimulation prior to full penetration. When you‘re ready for penetration, a slim probe like Rocks-Off’s Petite Sensations Anal Teazer is perfect. Skinny and just flexible enough, the vibrator can gently introduce you to full-fledged butt stuff with bonus vibrations.
If you want to continue going larger, consider an anal training set, like the INYA Triple Kiss Anal Trainer Kit from NS Novelties. The set comes with three plugs sized small, medium, and large to gradually increase the size you’re used to!
Any lube will suffice as long as it is liberally applied and plentiful in case you need more. Lube is REQUIRED for anal play, because the anus doesn’t self-lubricate like a vagina. Many gay and other anal-sex-loving couples like silicone lubes because they are longer lasting, as they don’t absorb into the skin, though they can potentially stain sheets, and are not compatible with silicone toys. Also commonly used are thick oil-based lubes, though these are usually not compatible with condoms. Water-based lubes, on the other hand, are compatible with everything!
Some lubes are formulated with anal sex in mind by keeping a thicker viscosity. For example, Wicked Sensual Care’s Jelle is thick like a jelly, though still a water-based lube. This thickness makes it remain slippery longer than your average water-based lube, and provides more of a cushion against potential friction.
Anal beads or anal balls are uniquely specialized for butt stuff. Because of the anus’s quick retraction, anal beads provide an exceptional method of stimulation. Simple, traditional anal beads like the Blush B Yours Basic Beads come on a string, sometimes gradually increasing in size, to pop in one at a time, then pull out for a deep rush, ideally upon climax. Other beads are motorized to add vibrations to the same effect, like the VeDO Quaker.
The prostate, sometimes referred to as the P-spot or male G-spot, sits a few inches inside the male-assigned anus and inward toward the bellybutton or penis. Stimulation of this spot provides intense and ongoing pleasure! Prostate-stimulating toys are shaped with a downward-facing curve or bulge to better reach that wily walnut.
A manual massager like Pipedream’s Anal Fantasy Classix Prostate Massager Keeps a rigid but smooth ABS plastic body for firm and easy directing. Its outward-curving handle makes it comfortable to move and its inward curving extension provides simultaneous perineum massage. You might also consider a motorized massager, like the Nexus Revo, with a silicone head that rotates to knead at the prostate all on its own, along with fun vibration patterns to sit on.
Though delightfully dirty, anal sex can be literally dirty too. You can clean out your butt ahead of time with a bowel movement followed by use of a douche or enema. Simply fill the bulb, insert, spray, and repeat until the water runs clear. The CalExotics Booty Call Booty Blaster has a specially rounded head with directional spray points and a curved shaft for a more tactical flushing. And like any sex toy, you must clean it thoroughly before and after use with soap and water or toy cleaner.
Any gender, creed, or class is well equipped to enjoy anal pleasure, and we’ve got the equipment to help you do it!

You’ll need a dildo that fits snugly and securely into the harness you’ve chosen, usually via an O-ring mounting system. This can take some mixing and matching. If you want to start right away without worrying about customization, consider a standalone strap-on harness in which the dildo is attached to the strap. The Easy Rider from Strap U by XR Brands has a 7-inch dong securely fastened to a base plate for quick, simple, easy use.
If you want the whole package in one purchase while allowing room for customization, try a kit with both the dildo and harness included. This allows you to use both parts at once or independently as you find new uses for them. The King Cock Strap-On Harness and 6” Cock features both a sturdy vinyl harness with O-ring mounting system and suction cup PVC dong.
Dildos usually mount to a strap-on harness by slipping the dildo’s flared or suction cup base through the harness’s O-ring. Check the O-ring’s measurement and the toy shaft’s diameter to be sure the O-ring is wider than the toy. The snugger the fit, the more stable the dong will be during sex. Some harnesses, like The Regal Empress from CalExotics, come with multiple O-ring sizes to accommodate to multiple dildo sizes!
Some sex toy manufacturers produce dildos and harnesses with specialized mounting systems to ensure compatibility. This way, your strap-on will hold as securely as possible, even while incorporating vibrations. Doc Johnson’s Vac-U-Lock system, for example, allows any compatible toy to lock directly onto a mounted plug quickly and easily. The Supreme Harness comes with a vibrating Vac-U-Lock plug that turns any compatible toy into a lightning rod of pleasurable rumbles!
Pegging is a loose term for penetration role reversal between straight cisgender couples. Any dildo and any harness will work, depending on your desires. A P-spot dildo like that in the Strap U Navigator by XR has a curved shaft and bulbous head to slide against the prostate with every thrust. Or if you’re a beginner to pegging and anal penetration as a whole, you may want to start with a slim, short dong, like the 5.5-inch-long, .87-inch-wide one in the Newcomers Strap-On by Sportsheets.
Harnesses come in all different materials and shapes. Most are made of vinyl, leather, or polyester straps, which can be cumbersome outside of their intended use. But some harnesses, such as those in the Em.Ex. Collection by Sportsheets, resemble panties or briefs. A rubber O-ring embedded in the crotch holds flared-based dildos in a simple, lightweight, comfortable pair of underwear. Stretchy elastic dodges the complexity of snaps or D-ring-adjustable straps, making for fully functional strap-on activewear!
Many strap-on wearers enjoy the pressure of the dildo against their pelvis as they penetrate their partner. It’s also common for harnesses to have a pocket built to hold vibrating bullets for extra stimulation. But if you want to feel all the same pleasure as your partner, try a double-sided strap-on. The Power Pegger from Strap U by XR has all the mutual pleasure of a double-ended dildo with the control of a harness and added vibration! The wearer’s dong is shorter and placed lower for G-spot targeted pleasure without going too deep.
A strapless strap-on may not be semantically sound, but it is a mechanically clever device! Somewhere between a strap-on and a double dildo, they feature a dildo on one end of a flexible elbow with a short bulb on the other end to anchor inside the wearer’s vagina. No straps, just penetrative pleasure for both participants. The ambitious Strap U 10X Evoke Ergo-Fit by XR even features a remote-controlled inflatable function to ensure proper fit for the wearer as both partners experience internal vibrations!
Even if you have a penis, there is still function to wearing a strap-on! Hollow strap-ons slip over the penis for comfortable wear, even with a cock in the way. Hollow strap-ons can act as a penis extender for couples who want to play with a longer penis, or they can assure penetrative play for those experiencing erectile dysfunction. The Sir Richard’s COMMAND harness includes a hollow King Cock dildo for 8 inches of strap-on play.
They say you need to have the right tools for the job, and if the job is expanding your sexual play to all-new roles and positions, a strap-on is the right tool!
]]>Lipstick vibrators are known for being inconspicuous, but they are also incredibly portable and know how to pack a punch despite their size. And not to mention, they're mega-cute, too!
To help find the right lipstick vibe for you, we've rounded up 6 of our favorites—a lineup that boasts a variety of shapes and styles as well as varying speeds and power levels. One brand even lets you pick your shade! So, whether you're looking to slip your new toy into your purse for your next on-the-go rendezvous or if you simply want a little more discreetness between the sheets, we've got a lipstick vibrator just for you.
If you're totally new to lipstick vibes and want an easy place to start, consider the Hide & Play vibe from CalExotics. It comes in a variety of lipstick “shades” so you can pick whichever fun color speaks to you. The battery-operated toy offers a sleek, realistic design and is incredibly easy to use, thanks to its one-touch button on the base. And with 8 speed and pattern settings and waterproof functionality, these lippies may look discreet, but they certainly won't feel it.
At practically the same price point as real lipstick, the My Secret Screaming O Lipstick Vibe might just become your new favorite accessory in your cosmetics purse. Designed with a soft silicone flex tip for target stimulation, this discreet vibe is waterproof and offers 3 speeds plus a multi-pulse tease mode that lets you tickle, please, and tease your way toward orgasm. It's no wonder it's a Vibed bestseller.
While discretion is typically the goal with lipstick vibes, this metallic gold tube is unapologetically imprinted with the title “Bad Bitch.” Still, the flashy vibrator still absolutely looks like lipstick with an appropriately bold purple tip. The rechargeable, waterproof vibe has 10 vibration functions with one-button control for up to 2 hours of use at a time. If your makeup collection and/or wardrobe are loud, the Bad Bitch will complement it gloriously.
The Rose Lipstick Vibe from Blush simplifies the features of the Lush Lina into a more affordable, single-speed, AAA-battery-operated lipstick vibrator. But while the Rose Lipstick Vibe pares down in functions, it excels in its appearance. This vibrator looks exactly like a tube of lipstick! You’ll be wary it’s a sex toy at all until you turn it on to feel its focused vibrations!
Tenga is a Japanese brand known for its modern and minimalistic designs, which inadvertently translate into a bit of discretion. You might already be familiar with their beautiful wand, the one that can easily disguise itself in plain view, and their lipstick vibrator, iroha Stick, is no different. They look just like the lippie you’d stash in your purse, and just like you’d twist a tube of lipstick, twisting the bottom controls their vibration levels. The vibrations range from gentle to strong, and the toy comes in three different color combos so that you can choose your favorite “shade.” Designed with waterproof functionality, you can bring yours into the bath or shower too.
There are quite a few things we love about the Lina Lipstick Vibe from Blush. First, it has a super sleek ABS exterior that looks impressively like a tube of makeup, so we’re talking total secrecy here. Inside is a soft, smooth, silicone bullet. It's super easy to slip into your purse or pocket, and it's USB rechargeable, which is convenient when you're traveling. But the best part? This petite vibe punches well above its weight with 3 steady speeds and 7 unique patterns. That's a total of 10 vibe functions in this tiny little thing!
If you ask us, lipstick vibrators aren't going anywhere soon. They're perfectly compact and super discreet, perfect for when you're looking for a toy that's a little more low-key. Even if you have a full arsenal of sex toys already, slipping a lipstick vibrator into your bag can be grounds for a fun little secret that you get to keep all to yourself. And with a variety of lipstick vibrators to try out, it's clear there's more than one way to achieve that fresh makeup glow!

Most toys can (and should!) be used on any interested person during sex between two people. A standard G-spot vibrator can be used to tease or stimulate any body part, and can be controlled by any partner. But a couples toy is specifically built to satisfy two partners at once, or to be controlled by one partner on another. The result is a shared experience for more intimate pleasure.
A standard couples sex toy is a vibrating cock ring. By fixing a bullet vibrator to a cock ring, the penis, and sometimes balls, are teased with ongoing vibrations, while the receiver gets direct vulva, anus, or perineum stimulation with each thrust. Vibrating C-rings may also feature an extension like the flickering rabbit ears on the VeDO Thunder Bunny, which flutter against the clitoris. In addition, any sex toy can become a couples toy with the use of a remote! By passing the remote onto your partner, you can surrender your control over the vibrations on an inserted egg vibrator or butt plug for a delightfully exciting submissive experience, perhaps even a public one with some vibrating panties!
We-Vibe combines and elevates all of these experiences with the Chorus. The toy bends to stimulate the G-spot and clitoris at once with a slim-enough entry point that it can fit between the penis and vaginal wall during penetration for dual pleasure! On top of that, the We-Connect app pairs with the Chorus and other We-Vibe devices to be controlled by a smartphone, allowing couples to play with each other on a worldwide scale!
Sex furniture is a collection of devices which users can sit, lie, or even hang upon to achieve sexual positions and activities easier, or even open up new ones! Sex wedges, like the Pillo by Dame, prop you up at the waist or support you in other areas of the body for more pinpointed G-spot targeting, comfortable oral sex, or new positions altogether!
Flip that mentality upside-down and try a sex swing to hang suspended from the ceiling! All new positions and BDSM scenarios are possible when one partner swings prone off the ground. Or if you want to get messy, waterproof sheets like those from Sheets of San Francisco will easily clean any fluid, bodily or foreign, you want to throw at it. They open opportunities for oily massages, food play, watersports, and more. Just like a bunk bed, the proper furniture will open up so much more room for activities.
A massage is a great way to ease the tension out of your muscles and elevate anticipation through the roof! The hypnotic scent and easy glide of massage oils against your back set the scene for all the touching you and your partner intend to do to each other. Try a Kissable Massage Oil from DONA by JO to arouse intimate body kisses, or embrace the ambiance of a JIMMYJANE Afterglow Massage Candle, formulated to melt and pour over your body for a hot and heavy rubdown.
Lube makes all sex easier! Reducing friction is not only pleasurable on your genitalia, but everywhere between two bodies. A flavored lube like the Gelato series from JO encourages you to taste its sweet flavors off of your partner.
And while you enhance skin-on-skin mobility, you can also enhance sensation. Stimulating lubes can induce a warming, cooling, or tingling feeling for lovers to share together. For example, the Climax Bursts series from Topco features Vitamin-E-rich bubbles that tingle with each pop as you slide against your lover. The feelings and flavors give you a whole new reason to communicate as you explore every inch of each other’s bodies.
Strap-on play offers a whole new dynamic between you and your partner. Lesbian couples may incorporate a strap-on to experience new penetrative positions that were not initially accessible to them. Heterosexual couples may enjoy the role reversal of dominant and submissive partner in addition to the anal and prostate pleasure a strap-on brings. A transitioning partner might welcome the gender performance of using a strap-on as a penis where they didn’t have one before. A harness and dildo set like the Strap U Easy Rider from XR is simple, comes with included dildo, and is compatible with other dildos as you explore what you enjoy in your new roles.
As you experiment with couples toys and accessories, you learn more about your and your partner’s sexual desires and habits. Sex is a shared experience just like a vacation or festival, and each new device is a new experience to share!
]]>So, to help you get more acquainted with the glorious masterpiece of engineering that is the vibrating panty, we’ve rounded up six of our favorites to share with you. Let’s get vibin’.
]]>Work talk aside, vibrating panties are a great toy to have in your toybox. They can be used at home to spice up your routine, or out and about with your partner, since most of them come with remote controls. Just imagine getting kinky together while at the cinema, or when doing something otherwise mundane, like shopping at the supermarket. Really, the possibilities are endless, and there’s something super exotic about relinquishing all power and control to your partner.
So, to help you get more acquainted with the glorious masterpiece of engineering that is the vibrating panty, we’ve rounded up six of our favorites to share with you. Let’s get vibin’.
The first thing you should know about panty vibes is that some come with their own underwear, while others have vibes that can be inserted into any underwear you already have at home. The My Secret Vibrating Panties by Screaming O is a complete set with all the essentials you’ll need. There’s a lace panty (available in black, pink, or red) with side ties for an adjustable fit, and within the panties is a pocket that allows you to slip in the rechargeable bullet vibe. The vibe can be controlled by either a push button on its body or by a discreet silicone ring that you can pass off to your partner. Ten rumbly sensations allow your partner to tickle and tease you while slowly building toward explosive pleasure.
There’s no wrong way to use a panty vibrator. If you want to use yours for a sexy night around the house with your partner, by all means, go for it. But we like, nay, love, this particular model for getting a little frisky in public. The remote control is totally inconspicuous (it looks just like a techy wristband or watch!), lasts for up to 90 minutes of play, and has over a 30-foot radius range, so you can play with your partner everywhere from opposite corners at parties to adjacent aisles at the supermarket. The massager itself is made from soft silicone and totally easy to use, thanks to its lock-in-place technology—just slip it around the gusset of any panty. And 12 intense functions of vibration make it a versatile addition to your toybox. Buy it here.
The Pan-T by Adrien Lastic is the thinnest of all panty vibes and has perhaps the most revolutionary design. Made from silicone, this toy comes in the shape of a “T” with a buckle-like slide on the top part of the T and the vibrator on the bottom. This whole segment then hooks onto a harness strap. If you’re having trouble visualizing this, just imagine the shape of a G-string. This design not only keeps the vibe from slipping and sliding out of place, but it allows the user to wear any type of underwear they prefer over the toy. It’s whisper-quiet for wearing in public, despite its 10 powerful knee-shaking vibration modes. Control the sensations yourself with the remote or pass it off to a partner for a little exotic play. While the remote isn’t as sleek at the Lock-N-Play remote, this one looks a bit like a garage key opener, so it’s still pretty discreet if you ask us.
For those who have a kink for vibing in public or those who might even be new to vibrators altogether, the Sensuelle Pleasure Panty is a great starter set. The bullet vibe offers 15 different functions, so there’s a lot of room to explore what feels just right to the wearer, and the remote control and near-silent operation allows for a little privately public naughtiness, not to mention the thrill of surrender play with a partner. When all played out, both the bullet and remote can easily be charged via the included USB charger.
The We-Vibe Moxie's sleek and discreet design is approached a bit differently from the other wearable vibes. It’s kept in place by strong, slip-proof magnets, which allows you to wear it with any underwear you choose! The contoured shape fits nearly all body types comfortably with a slim design made from body-safe silicone, and it offers more than 10 different vibration intensities. It comes with a simple wireless remote, but what makes this toy even more fun is that it can be controlled via Bluetooth by We-Vibe's We-Connect app on your or your partner’s smartphone. This means your partner can control it from literally anywhere, no matter the distance. We’re talking as far as Paris to Tokyo, people!
And last but not least, the Crotchless Panty Thrill-Her Vibe by Fantasy for Her, a toy that we think will redefine date night. This lacy panty comes in a gorgeous lavender hue with a stitched-in pocket that holds the vibe right against the clitoris just above the crotch. Once in position, it can be controlled via a remote during sex for simultaneous clitoris and vaginal stimulation. This toy offers 20 vibration modes, so even if you aren’t in the mood for penetrative sex, at the very least, it’s great for a little hanky panky at the restaurant or movies.
Technology has unquestionably come a long way in the sex toy world. Couples can use vibrating panties to play a couple feet away or in entirely different cities altogether. Whisper-quiet toys make the “taboo” of playing in public even more exciting, and a variety of designs allows users to find the right type of fit for their pleasure and preference. Take a cue from The Ugly Truth.
Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler’s characters were onto something good.
]]>Since that time, we’ve learned to power our vibrators without steam, thankfully, and advances in technology have allowed us to create vibrators of every shape, size, material, function, and power level. Vibrator vets and newcomers alike are treated to such modern sex toy tech as Bluetooth and app compatibility, allowing partners to titillate each other from continents away using their smartphone, or suction functionality, which teases the clitoris via air waves, or touchscreen control, which lets users swipe through modes like dating app prospects! We are truly living in the future of pleasure products, and The Vibed is always keeping an eye out for what’s coming next.
If you’ve never owned a vibe before or you’re looking for a new experience or a gift for a playmate, let us help you sort out what’s shaking in the vibrator world. You’ll find that there are vibrators to fit every possible personal need and preference. When shopping, consider the girth, length, shape, firmness, texture, level of realism, and even color you or your partner might enjoy. While it’s wise to go into any shopping venture knowing how much you’d like to spend, bear in mind that high-quality products that are body-safe may cost more than what you may find on bargain websites. Your health and safety should take top priority. Not all vibes and all materials are created equal in that respect. We here at Vibed hand select products from manufacturers who use only the best, non-toxic materials available.
For your first vibrator, try an item you won’t need much instruction to use. Intro vibes are designed to be simple in form and function. They have a minimalist design that makes them intuitive to use, durable, and easy to clean. For example, the Callie Mini Rechargeable Waterproof Wand Vibrator by Jopen has a simple one-button (or one-jewel) design to deliver seven modes of waterproof vibration in a smooth, straight, small silicone body. It shows off high-end looks in a simple device that won’t break the bank, making it an opportune item to help you satiate and explore your desires.
While experts disagree on the exact percentages, they do agree that more women are able to achieve orgasm through clitoral stimulation than through penetration alone. If your clitoris is your ultimate power button, treat it to a vibe that is designed just for it. One of our favorites is the Mimic by Clandestine Devices. This little gadget looks like no vibe you’ve ever seen before. Its ergonomic design features wings that make it look like a stingray in flight and allows you to easily rock the device forward or back for just the right amount of stimulation. It also has a handy travel lock to keep your cute little stingray from coming to life in the TSA line at the airport. *cringe*
All you need to give the G-spot attention is a little curve right at the tip and some rumbly vibes. That curved tip allows you to put just the right amount of pressure on that magic spot without bending yourself into a pretzel to reach it. The Pillow Talk Racy by BMS Factory is a mini vibe with a flexible head for more customizable reach. It’s also rechargeable so you can stop stealing the batteries out of the remotes. And with its quilt-like textured handle, silky feel, and Swarovski crystal power button, this vibe also qualifies for luxury status (more on that later).
Rabbit vibes are a two-in-one pleasure package that delivers blissful vibrations both internally and externally (and sometimes at two different intensities and patterns). Basically, rabbit vibrators are any vibrators that have both a shaft (straight or curved), and an attachment “ear” or two near the base that curves back over the body to stimulate the clitoris. The CalExotics Rocking “G” Rabbit Vibrator is a great example that has a clever angled shaft along with seven playful vibration functions and three G-spot massaging speeds. Adopt one and name it Roger. Or Jessica.
It’s far past time to remove anal pleasure from the taboo list forever. You’re here shopping with us because you’re looking for the ultimate orgasms, right? Let us let you in on a secret: your butt is a gold mine of sensitive nerves. Treat it well and gently (there’s no such thing as too much lube) and you will be rewarded with orgasms so powerful that they shift the paradigm of your sex life forever. There’s really only one hard and fast rule about anal vibes that we suggest you never break: anal toys must have a flared base or extension for easy retrieval. There, we just saved you from an experience that no one wants to explain to the ER staff.
To that end, allow us to suggest the b-Vibe Trio. This top-tier butt plug contains not one, not two, but THREE bullets to ensure that each sensitive region of this richly erogenous zone gets attention. The bullet in the steam tickles the rim, while the bullet in the body rumbles the interior, and the bullet in the tip teases deep inside, especially the prostate, for those who have one.
Wand vibrators are a sex toy staple partially because they are (accidentally) one of the first mass-produced vibrators, but also because they still deliver by today’s standards! Designed as personal massagers in the 70s, the original Hitachi Magic Wand attracted many vulva-owning buyers for vaginal pleasure! Its thick, round head atop a large, plug-in body delivered powerful vibrations that rumbled deep throughout women’s pleasure zones. Most sex toy manufacturers continue to adopt some version of the wand in their repertoire. Vibratex still makes the Original Magic Wand to great acclaim, only slightly updated for modern users.
Bullet vibes are so named because of their size and shape relative to other, bigger vibes. But, it’s not the size of the boat that matters, it’s the motion of the motor. Bullet vibes are small enough to slip in your purse, pocket, or even panties for on-the-go enhancement and powerful enough to bring you all the way home during that sweet, sweet alone time. We like the FemmeFunn Ultra Bullet for its 20 vibration modes, magnetic charging, and memory function that allows you to hit the bullseye every time.
You’re a mover and shaker. They’re movers and shakers. And you can move and shake together wherever you go! Egg vibes are just that: small, egg shaped bullets that can be worn out and about (they usually have a handy remote), used internally for great G-spot stimulation, or held in hand like a lipstick vibe to bring the tickle to your most sensitive erogenous zones. The Nu Sensuelle Petite Vibrating Remote Control Egg offers several twists on an otherwise simple concept. You can control this egg vibrator by remote control, making it great for partner play along with a body-safe silicone body and rechargeable battery.
Finger vibes slip over or between the fingers and can turn any massage up to eleven. Fingers are fantastic. They can pinch, caress, pet, and spank like nothing else. We’ve been using them to get ourselves and each other off ever since we grew a thumb. But brains are even better and some really great brains have figured out how to make our fingers more effective than the original design. The Fin by Dame Products tethers to two fingers to comfortably direct three speeds of vibration across your vulva as intuitively as your own hand would.
Thrusting vibrators replicate the in-out action of real penetrative sex by incorporating a motorized extending and retracting shaft. There’s no need to crank your wrist with these pleasers! For the ultimate in thrusting speed, try the Essenza by Femmefunn. This soft silicone rabbit vibrator that’s curved for the G-spot has a shaft that thumps up and down in seven modes with a top speed that only NASA can compete with.
In a technical sense, all sex toys are “luxury” items. But just like there’s a difference between a bargain shoe and a Louboutin, there’s a difference between a basic vibe and a luxury vibe. In general, luxury vibes are those made of the highest quality materials with the best motors and have exceptional thought and consideration put into the shape and functionality of the unit. And of course, all the high-tech functionality you would expect from living in the 21st century. And a little bling doesn’t hurt either.
Chance by Viotec goes beyond these criteria with its one-of-a-kind interactive touchscreen. Turn on the G-spot vibrator with its Swarovski crystal button, then swipe across the touchscreen through 6 vibration patterns at 3 intensities each. You can see and select your preferred mode and level in real-time while monitoring battery life as well! Haute couture, for sure!
If realism is your thing, there’s a vibe for that. Realistic vibes feature lifelike shapes, soft skin, and those toe-curling veiny textures. Pair all of that with deep, rumbling vibrations and you’ve got yourself a little bit of nature and a whole lot of nurture. King Cock by Pipedream makes some of the most impressively lifelike dildos and dongs we’ve seen. Their generously sized vibrators are endearingly squishy, yet firm, just like a real hard-on, with painstakingly detailed veins, coloring, wrinkles, and all you’d expect from a real penis, complemented by vibration and a sturdy suction cup.
Wearable vibrators go where you go by various means. Panty vibrators like the My Secret Panty Vibe by Screaming O feature a pocket to slip a bullet vibrator inside, operated with a remote control either by you, or for the adventurous, by your partner! Wearable vibrators provide the unique thrill of handing control to somebody else, even in public, for a truly exciting experience.
Yes, they are. While vibrations alone are the certified standard of sexual pleasure, suction toys replicate some of the best techniques of oral sex to trigger ongoing orgasms that other toys don’t. Pleasure Air technology by Womanizer and ROMP does this by surrounding the clitoris with a silicone hood and gently sucking at various patterns without touching the skin. The result is a gratifying experience hailed by Buzzfeed, Cosmopolitan, and countless other mainstream publications.
Bluetooth vibrators close any distance, whether it’s one room over or another hemisphere! They accomplish this by pairing with your smartphone, allowing partners to control vibrations with an app. The Moxie by We-Vibe is one such toy that fastens magnetically to a pair of panties and connects to the We-Connect app. Your authorized partner can use the app to choose from existing vibration patterns, customize their own vibration patterns, match vibrations to a song, or freestyle vibrations completely! Your partner may be far away but they’ll feel as up close and personal as possible!
No matter what your tastes, we have a vibe that will fit the bill. High tech, simple, inside, outside, or dual, there is a vibrator for everyone. And no need to stop at just one!

A good first dildo is something short and slim that won’t cut too deep into your wallet while you experiment with self-penetration. The B Yours Sweet ‘N’ Small 4” Colored Suction Cup Dildo gives you just enough length and flexibility to massage the G-spot or P-spot without even spending double digits. Throw in an extra buck for some extra length and girth with the 6” model.
If you want to go to the edge of your limits, try a dildo around or above 7 inches long and 2 inches wide. Some extra size and the right aim can arouse the A-spot for cervical orgasms in addition to deeper-reaching sensation! Try the NS Novelties Star Power Shane Diesel Dong for a replica of the 7.5-inch-long, 2.2-inch wide hard-on that made Shane Diesel famous.
Most of the time, you don’t need to worry about taking your dildo in the shower or tub. As long as there isn’t a vibrating motor that isn’t explicitly labeled “waterproof” in danger of being damaged, your dildo is usually safe. Some dildos, like the Blush Ruse Juicy Suction Cup Dildo, are even encouraged to stick on the shower wall!
Suction cups make a dildo mountable. A good suction cup will allow you to ride your dildo on any flat surface from the shower to the kitchen floor to the hood of your car. If you don’t want to mount it, suction cups provide a great handgrip for solo use. Beyond that, most suction cups slip into most O-ring mounting systems on strap-on harnesses, making any suction cup dildo strap-on compatible! Click here to shop suction cup dildos.
After you and your partner discuss the size, feel, and material you want, you can find the appropriate harness and dildo combination for any preference. You can even purchase sets to get both parts in one, such as the Sportsheets New Comer's Strap-On, which features a slim silicone pegging dildo and simple strap-on harness with which you can mix and match as your desires expand!
Though the penis is the inspiration for dong toys, dong toys don’t have to resemble one! If you’re not attracted to penises or think the attention to detail is too eerie, try some more unique dildo shapes. The Avant Pride P1 from Blush is specially designed to equally arouse the G-spot or prostate with a completely non-anatomical look along with the bright colors of the Pride rainbow flag!
If you want the real thing, King Cock Plus Triple Density Dildos are about as close as it gets. Constructed with a dense, yet flexible core and coated with a soft and stretchy skinlike TPE blend that is carefully poured, painted, and carved, these dildos look and feel impressively like a real penis.
One of the fun parts about dildos is how expressive they can be. You can fulfill your color-laden fantasies or simply enjoy the aesthetic of your favorite hue. Colored dildos such as those in the Colours line from NS Novelties come in vibrant, sometimes even multicolored hues along with realistic details for a fantastical accessory to brighten up your bedroom!
Silicone is the perfect blend of durability, softness, flexibility, and body compatibility. Strong and safe enough for use in medical devices, silicone is a top-tier material for an attractive and good-feeling dildo. The Addiction Party Marty Confetti Dong from BMS Factory features translucent silicone filled with colorful confetti for a decorative example of this versatile material.
Glass construction makes for some of the most unique sex toys. Beyond the extra weight, rigidity, and smooth texture you’d expect from glass, what glass lacks in flexibility compared to other materials is surpassed by extra versatility in other areas. Though it might look fragile, the borosilicate glass material used in glass dildos is as durable as any Pyrex pan or bowl. It’s also as conductive to heat or coldness, giving your penetration play a soothing warmth or a cool rush when soaked in water of the appropriate temperature first. It’s also compatible with any base of lube, and simple to clean in the dishwasher. Beyond performance, glass dildos are some of the prettiest sex toys you’ll ever possess! You’ll be tempted to leave the Icicles No. 62 by Pipedream on your bookshelf!
Most dildos spend time replicating the soft feel and veiny details of a penis, but if you want to surpass the source, add some vibrations! The Turbo Baller from FemmeFunn lives up to its name by boosting powerful vibrations through a high-quality cock replica.
If you want to share a dildo with a partner, or don’t want to play favorites between vaginal and anal sex, try a double-sided dildo. With both ends of the long shaft decorated by pleasantly rounded heads, a good, long, flexible double-ended dildo will give each partner plenty of room to play with, or a simple route for double penetration all by yourself. The Lollicock Sweet Slim Double Dipper by Curve provides plenty of length and flexibility along with some curve to better target your erogenous zones.
The more we use dildos, the more activities we can find for them. Ejaculating dildos like the Topco Squirtz Cyberskin series cum upon climax with a squeeze of the balls. Inflatable dildos like the Leviathan from XR Master Series expand inside of you with a pump of the attached medical bulb. Custom dildo kits like those from Clone-A-Willy allow you to make a colored dildo at home, even a glow-in-the-dark one, molded from your own hard-on! Though the sex toy world may be a bit phallocentric, the creative uses we have for them are boundless!
]]>Here’s where we come in. Consider us the cool friend you can compare notes with and openly ask questions. We know a thing or two about sex toys, so we’ve created a handy buying guide for your first vibrator: types of vibes, some things you need to know, and recommendations, of course. Let’s get vibing, shall we?
]]>Here’s where we come in. Consider us the cool friend you can compare notes with and openly ask questions. We know a thing or two about sex toys, so we’ve created a handy buying guide for your first vibrator: types of vibes, some things you need to know, and recommendations, of course. Let’s get vibing, shall we?
As the name suggests, a vibrator is anything that vibrates. Ta-da.
Okay to be fair, there are so many ways to get your rocks off than with a basic dildo vibrator. To help navigate the many vibrator options, we’ve broken them down into the most common subcategories to help first-timers learn more about which types of toys are available on the market as well as the perks of each type.
With simple designs and functionality, intro vibes offer a straightforward approach to vibrators. Although there is no wrong way to use a vibe, the designs of intro vibes take the guesswork out of what goes where making them highly intuitive and easy to use.
Because it’s one of the most common orgasm sweet spots for women, clitoral vibrators are designed with the clit in mind. Some clitoral vibrators have become so advanced that they now feature touch-free technology with air pressure waves delivering powerful, toe-curling stimulation. More on that later.
Sometimes, it’s what’s on the inside that counts and by the inside, we’re talking the G-spot. This erroneous zone is located on the front wall of the vagina, so G-spot vibes are curved to naturally stimulate this area. For some women, the G-spot can be hard to hit just right during sex, so these unique vibrators provide a little help for this hard-to-reach area.
Can’t decide if you want clitoral or G-spot stimulation? Both sound tantalizingly good? With the Rabbit Vibrators, you don’t have to choose. These pleasure-packing vibes feature “rabbit ears,” designed to stimulate the clitoris, teamed up with an internal piece for the G-spot. Many are designed with two separate motors to have a fully customizable experience. There’s no wonder these are some of the most popular types of vibrators.
While Finger vibrators are compact and discreet, they still pack a punch well above their weight for something so small. They’re great for clitoral stimulation, but also feel good on the nipples and other parts of the body, especially when it comes to getting in the mood.
If you’re curious to explore back door play, reach for a vibe designed specifically for anal. These types of vibes are usually thinner than other vibrators and have an extended base for easy removal. And remember: because the anus isn’t naturally lubricating, you’ll want to pair these toys with lube.
Featuring a large handle and vibrating head, wands are a classic vibrator type for external stimulation. They’re known for their powerful, OMG-worthy vibration levels.
One of the most basic and economical vibrators, bullets are a great entry toy. They are cordless, usually running on small batteries (think watch batteries) and are wonderfully compact, perfect for taking along as a travel companion.
It’s important to note that all vibrators are not created equal (or any sex toys, for that matter). Whenever choosing a new toy to introduce into the bedroom, you’ll want to know what it’s made from to ensure it is safe for your body. Let’s get into some of the common terms used when describing toys—a sex glossary if you will.
When you think of the word porous, a sponge might be something that comes to mind. Porous toys act in a similar way to a sponge—no matter how much you clean it, germs can still get trapped in its microscopic nooks and crannies. Which is precisely why porous materials should be avoided. If you do have a porous toy in your repertoire, make sure you use it with a condom to prevent bacterial infections or other problems.
These types of toys are usually more expensive and considered “luxury” toys, but bacteria will not become embedded in the toy’s surface making them safer for use. These toys can also be easily sterilized.
Perhaps the most popular of the non-porous toys are silicone-based toys. As a general rule of thumb, silicone-based toys are soft, and they can provide flexibility, withstand extreme temperatures, and it’s a completely inert material—meaning that it doesn’t absorb any bacteria or fluids that it comes into contact with during play. With that being said, you want to ensure that anything you put into your body doesn’t have any additives to the silicone which could possibly make it porous. Reliable distributors will always disclose this information to you.
You might come across toys that are listed as phthalate-free, which is certainly a good thing to note. Phthalates are a category of plasticizer which can leach out chemicals. There are a variety of phthalates out there, some of which may be carcinogenic or cause reproduction issues, and the regulations are often changing. For something that is coming into direct contact with your nether regions, phthalates are something you should avoid altogether.
Similar to the porous/non-porous topic, reliable distributors will list all of this information plain to see. If it’s not listed or readily available when you inquire, don’t buy from them.
In short, however, you find pleasure is the best way to use a vibrator. Most people reach for vibrators for an eruptive climax experience, but did you know vibrators are an excellent tool for arousal too?
Go off the beaten path and try using a vibrator to stimulate multiple erogenous zones with yourself or with a partner. Some unexpected (and awesome) spots include the nape of the neck, behind the knee, the earlobe, or the feet. Explore your options, we’re all different. What matters most is what’s pleasurable to you.
And if you ask us, lube is always a good idea. Water-based lubricants are a popular choice, while silicone and oil-based lubes can be longer lasting and provide more “cushion.” Always use a lubricant when exploring back door play and make sure you use a lubricant that is compatible with your type of toy. Never use a silicone lubricant with a silicone toy. Read all about lubricants here.
Now that we’ve covered all the nitty-gritty, let’s get to the fun part: recommendations.
Remember that touchless orgasm we mentioned earlier? This is where the Starlet 2 comes in. By delivering pressurized airwaves, this vibrator never actually comes into contact with your clit. With only two buttons, it’s easy and intuitive to use and will take your orgasms to dizzying heights.
Don’t let its size full you—this bullet vibe by Tango is packed with power, bringing with it 8 toe-curling levels of vibration and its angled tip helps hits the mark every time. Or, if you’re curious to try a variety of rumbling sensations including anal and g-spot stimulation, go for the We-Vibe Pleasure Mate Collection.
This vibrator is legendary—in fact, it’s the very first wand that started it all. It features a soft, vinyl head for external stimulation and an intuitive control that lets you select high or low power. It’s truly the wand of all wands, perfect for beginners and seasoned veterans alike.
Small but mighty, the Kip lipstick vibrator by Dame will tickle, tease, and please time and time again. Its unique prism design offers clit-enveloping simulation, and its natural hold will already feel familiar in your hand, making it the perfect choice for a beginner’s toy.
Whisper quiet and fully waterproof, this is a fun finger vibrator to add to your repertoire. It easily fits between your index and middle finger, and its unique shape delivers pinpoint stimulation for all your best bits. The 10 vibrations will let you play around and explore what feels good to you.
If you’re just pining to hit that elusive G-spot, this vibrator is up for the task. It’s sleek and angled design helps to reach the hard-to-hit erogenous zone, and its smaller girth and soft outer coating make it an unintimidating toy for beginners.
If your attention perks up when you consider a dual-stimulation rabbit vibrator, reach for the Aria Lotus Flutter. Except in this case, the rabbit ears have been swapped out for a fluttering butterfly, ready to stimulate to heightened levels of excitement. Dual motors make for a totally customizable experience, while its soft shape conforms to the contours of your body.
Just thinking about this clitoral vibrator is exciting. It is the only one combining both vibrations and rotations for a truly orgasmic experience. Easily pop on any of the 5 different heads and set the vibrations as you explore which sensations bring you closer and closer to the edge.
No matter what your tastes, we have the vibrator to bring the sensations you crave. Explore our complete selection of beginner vibes here. If you still aren’t quite sure where to start, we recommend starting small. And once you experience the dizzying rumbles even small vibes can bring, we know you’ll be back for more.
]]>Packing for a summer music festival is kind of like packing a survival kit. When you’re out in the sun for hours, even days at a time, you’ll need sunscreen to keep from burning, water to stay hydrated, snacks to stay energized, and lube for great sex. You’ll no doubt meet some new friends or develop some new crushes as you dance in the open air, so pack intelligently! Here are 6 lubes to help you indulge your summer romance in the best way.
]]>But if you think KY is your only option out there, you've got quite the catching up to do. Nowadays, there's silicone-based lube, natural lube, flavored lube, water-based lube, oil-based lube, sensation heightening lube and much more. And while each of these can make for smooth operating in the bedroom, why should the fun stop there?
That's right—it shouldn't. Fun should be had anywhere, including getting busy at musical festivals. We've already shared the top 6 sex toys to bring to your next musical festival, but that's only half of the goods you should be packing. We've now created your own personal guide to the six best lubes to bring along, so you can really dial up the heat up your sex life: festival-style.
So, let's dive in and get a bit slippery, shall we?
First things first. Taking the time to first explore your lube options is just as important as the time you will take to explore your partner's body (well, almost). Nonetheless, it is important to understand the different types of lubricants available in order to ensure you get the kind of pleasurable experience you're after as well as avoiding some common no-no's.
Lubricants that are water-based are the unsung heroes of clean bedsheets and healthy orifices. These types of lubes help maintain healthy pH levels, which is extremely important if your play involves a vagina. If silicone toys are being used, you'll want to reach for water-based lubes because they won't damage the silicone. Water-based lubes also wash off easily and aren't a messy as the silicone-based or oil-based lubes. While it is a seemingly near-perfect lube, there is still a downside to water-based lubes to consider. These types of lubes tend to evaporate or absorb into the skin quickly, meaning reapplication is often necessary to keep the frisky fun feeling good.
Often made with organic and animal-friendly ingredients, natural lube is a great choice for those who have experienced chemical sensitivity to their skin. Natural lubricants are typically aloe-based, and carrageenan is a common ingredient as well. Carrageenan is part of the seaweed family and one of nature's most effective lubricants. While natural lubricants are less likely to cause skin irritation, they too may need to be reapplied often.
These types of long-lasting lubes are known for going the distance. They're also naturally moisturizing, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Oils and latex do not mix—oil-based lubricants will break down condoms and other safer-sex barriers, so it's essential to understand this and perhaps consider a different lube. Some oils can also be disruptive to vaginal health, so consider using water-based option if having vaginal sex and irritation occurs.
GREAT for playing in the water (think: steamy showers or underwater sex), silicone-based lubricants won't wash away easily when those water fantasies arise. Known for being extremely slippery and thicker, a silicone-based lubricant is also great "cushioning" for anal sex. The downside to silicone? It degrades silicone toys, so they can't be used together. Additionally, silicone lubricants can leave a sticky residue on the skin, even after cleaning.
Now that that's all sorted let's get to know the six frictionless heroes that we know will bring your music festival experience to the next level.
Cooling off always feels amazing in the summer, so why not give it an erotic edge? Climax Bursts by Topco are just waiting to be explored. There are multiple options to choose from with different sensations and colors available (match them up with your festival glow sticks). Each type features vitamin-enriched pleasure beads that burst on contact with the skin. Use the cooling one as a special treat after a long, hot day of raving, or try out the aphrodisiac-enhanced lubricant or the tingling one. There's even a dedicated anal lubricant for adding a little extra cushion to exploring backdoor play come tent time.
Each bottle is available on its own in 4.5 fluid ounces, so there's plenty of liquid fun to go around for multi-day festivals.
When you’re wearing your most flamboyant colors on your favorite pair of booty shorts, your lube should match! System JO’s Candy Shop collection comes in vibrantly colored bottles to match your bubble gum pop sensibilities. The lubes sweeten your summer flings with the saccharine flavors of bubble gum, cotton candy, and butterscotch to taste off of your lover or vice-versa.
These beautiful bottles hold 2.1 ounces of three flavored water-based lubes.
Are you someone who likes to tease and be teased? This water-based personal lubricant has a unique formula that when applied to the skin arouses and stimulates couples before play. How should you use Sensual Arousal at a music festival? Picture this: apply this lube pre-show as a slow and sensual warm-up to elevate your senses. Next pair it with the Chorus Couples Vibrator, the hands-free couples device that lets your partner control vibrating sensations through a remote control or phone app. Pop out of your tent and go enjoy the show. While you are jamming to the music, you'll experience unexpected rumbles down under as the anticipation builds and builds throughout the night. When the music fades, head back to your tent to take care of all that teasing.
Eager to get your hands on some? This lube is available in 1, 2, and 4-ounce bottles. And the bottle is leak-proof, so you can easily toss it in your festival bag and not worry about any spillage.
Marry good beats with this water-based moisturizer for a truly elevated festival experience. Did you know that CBD-infused lubricants are believed to quell inflammation and increase circulation, which may improve sexual function and increase arousal? And what better time to experience these heightened sensations than at a summer music festival? Vibed CBD Lube is injected with up to 100mg of broad-spectrum CBD, ready to bring pleasure to your most important bits.
This moisturizer is available in a 6-ounce bottle to keep next to your bed and a 2-ounce travel size, perfect for packing along for your music festival.
For those who love a bit of variety in both their music and their sex life, the Sliquid Essentials Lube Cube is the perfect festival companion.The Sliquid Essentials Lube Cube features 12 individual pillow packs, so you can try out different sensations and preferences as your moods and tunes change. The foil packs are great for on-the-go application, and the packaging is 100% recyclable, perfect for staying green at the festival! All of the lubes included are water-based, 100% vegan-friendly, and made with only the safest natural ingredients.
Each individual pillow pack is 5 milliliters—the ideal size for popping into your carry-on or slipping into your festival fanny pack.
If you’re tented up with a partner and want something that will last all night, try this oil-based lube that’s infused with silicone. The abundance of natural ingredients is not only great for smooth and long-lasting penetration, but also for sensual massages and solo masturbation sessions to soothe your skin after a hot day in the sun. Please note that this formula is not compatible with condoms, and that you may wake up your campsite neighbors with screams of delight.
Ride BodyWorx Stroke Oil is available in 8.5-ounce bottles for liberal use across your whole body.
Whether you're heading to Electric Forest, Bonnaroo, Coachella, or anything in between, there are so many cool lubes and sex toys out there to try and summer's a great time to experiment. Vibed has all the lubes, sex toys and accessories you need to bring a boost to your next outdoor gig experience. Pack along any of these amazing lubes for your music festival and take summer slip and slides to a whole new level.
]]>Even though its perfectly normal and part of a healthy sex life, they never let you hear the end of it. Instead of going through that subtle embarrassment again, you have two options: spend a few more hours finding an even better hiding spot or find a toy you can hide in plain sight without anyone knowing.
So, here’s the highest rated non-phallic and discrete sex toys that can remain your dirty little secret.
]]>I personally love everything that Tenga makes, particularly their iroha series. They have the most modern and minimalistic designs that make 22-year-old hipsters, like myself, swoon. The iroha Rin follows suit to that design. The word “rin” itself means intelligence, wisdom, grace, and elegance in Japanese, and the wand is no different. With a simple, but beautiful, design, we can definitely see why the iroha Rin was named in such a way.
The Rin puts a twist on the Wand Massagers we all know and love, like the Hitachi, but adds a completely circular and flexible head, and a firm cylindrical base. The Rin has complete versatility, allowing you to move and squeeze the head in multiple ways to hit all your sweet spots, while also giving you the ability to use the wand externally and internally with multiple vibration modes. The Rin may appear larger in pictures, but it actually fits perfectly in the palm of your hand, allowing for easier handling. This wand is made of 100% body-safe silicone and ABS, and comes in two of my favorite colors, deep red and mustard yellow. The Rin also is equipped with Tenga’s famous anti-dust material, so you can actually use it as decoration in your living room when it’s not in use.
One of the most discrete sex toys I have ever seen is the Intimate Therapy Shower Stroker by Sir Richard’s. The stroker is disguised as a shampoo bottle to allow the user to keep it hidden away in plain sight in their shower or bathroom. Of course, the Intimate Therapy Shower Stroker is completely waterproof and reusable so you can easily bring it along to shower or bath time for a quick and satisfying cleanup. This stroker is made of Sir Richard’s exclusive Fanta Flesh material, making it feel ultra-realistic and lifelike. Just unscrew the top of the bottle for even more air-tight suction. After your shower jerk-sesh is complete, clean it out with toy cleaner and warm water, screw on the cap, and put it back next to your hair care and body wash for next time.
The Intimate Therapy Shower Stoker comes in three different types, including Firm Hole, Extra Fresh Pussy, Deep Comfort. Rubba dub dub, time to have fun in the tub.
The beautiful handblown design of the blue Chrystalino Expert by Shots America is breathtaking. Made from high-quality borosilicate glass, this non-phallic wand can be used in any hole you desire and is specially made for enhanced temperature play. The Chrystalino Expert is made of shatterproof glass to accommodate any accidental drop and is also non-porous for easy cleaning after any kind of play. The wand is small, easy to handle, and perfect travel size, with an insertable length of 8.5cm. All in all, the Chrystalino Expert looks as if you could purchase it from a museum and will make a lovely (and discrete) new addition to your curio cabinet.
Pride Month may be over, but here at Vibed, we all continue to celebrate what the LGBTQ+ community fights for every single day. The Avant Pride series by Blush Novelties is in our top list of favorites. The series features representation for various amounts of orientations, genders, and everything in between, while still maintaining quality materials and designs. The series has many different types of figures, including anal plugs, dildos, and dongs (if you don’t know the difference yet, head to our Dildos and Dongs category for more info).
For non-phallic penetrative models, the shapes of the P1 and P2 are designed to stimulate either the P-spot or G-spot, whichever you’re feeling that day. These models are colored to represent the gay and transgender community, P1 for the former and P2 for the latter. Both feature a strong suction cup base, making them a perfect addition to your harness, and have an insertable length of 5.25in.
If you’re looking more for non-phallic anal plugs, models P4, P5, P6, and P7 are the way to go. These models are colored to represent the asexual, gender fluid, genderqueer, and BDSM communities. Each plug features a tapered design for comfortable insertion and wear, and each have varying insertional lengths depending on the model.
No matter what you are looking for, whether it be plug, dildos, or dongs, Avant Pride offers a range of high-quality pleasure products to suit your needs and represent your life. All of the items in the series are made of 100% body-safe and non-porous silicone for healthy use and easy cleaning.
Dame is personally one of my favorite companies of them all. It was founded by women, run by women, and the products are created by women who know and understand the female body. The Eva II is a waterproof and rechargeable vibrator that has a very interesting shape. The vibe has wings on each side that wrap around the labia, allowing the vibrating to sit comfortably on the clitoris and stay in place. The Eva II was designed so that it can be comfortably worn during sex, so those with a clitoris can have their hands with for other activities.
The Eva II has multiple speeds to match your mood and desires and is also made of super silky body-safe silicone for ultimate comfort. It is waterproof, so shower and bath sex are fair game. On top of it all, the Eva II comes with a charging case, so it can be easily charged when not in use.
For our final product, let me introduce the Icicles #76. This anal plug is made of hand-blown glass that is non-porous and hypoallergenic. It’s perfect for temperature play, so you can throw it in freezer or microwave for added sensation. The fun part is that there is a beautiful handblown rose at the base of the plug for added elegance and poise. This toy is perfect for beginners due to its smaller size and has an insertional length of 2.4 in. Pipedream recommends that the toy be cleaned after each use, either with toy cleaner and putting it through the dishwasher. After cleaned, you’ll be able to place it in a small vase in your living room, and no one would ever know your secret.
When looking for a discrete sex toy, you always must make sure that the product is body-safe. Plenty of toys are porous and not up to medical grade standards, which makes it difficult to clean due to bacteria seeping through the surface of the toy. At Vibed, we make sure all of our toys are up to the standards you would want for your body and that they are all safe for your playtime.
Between the iroha Rin and the Icicles #76, you should be covered when it comes to hiding your toys in plain sight. Vibed carries over 1,000 products that range from beginner to expert, so if you didn’t find what you’re looking for here, head back over to our store and take a gander. It’s a candy store for your pleasure products.

]]>Here, we’ve helped to demystify the different types of materials commonly used in sex toys, and we’ll dive in deeper to explain why it’s essential to purchase high-quality, body-safe toys.
Unlike the food production industry or medical device industry, the sex toy industry isn’t currently regulated by a governing body. Because it’s an area that’s unregulated and therefore doesn’t adhere to specific guidelines, sex toy companies are essentially responsible for holding up to the honor system when it comes to their products. They need to trust their suppliers and what’s being put into their products, and consumers need to be able to trust the toy company. This includes companies being very transparent and upfront about what’s in their products.
The problem with an unregulated industry means that even while some materials have been proven to be harmful, or are highly suspected to be harmful, they may still wind up in your sex toys as a way to keep costs down. And because nobody is forcing brands to disclose their material information, bad things could be hiding in their products. This isparticularly important when it comes to sex toys because of where you’re naturally putting them—i.e., your genitals, mouth, anus, etc. These areas of your body are made up of mucous membranes which are more permeable than the rest of your skin.
Translation: they can absorb liquids and harmful chemicals.
Now, let’s talk about those chemicals. Perhaps one of the most important additives within a toy you will want to avoid is something called phthalates. Phthalates are a type of plasticizer, which is an additive that makes solid materials more malleable. In other words, plasticizers give toys their flexibility. (Note: while phthalates are plasticizers, not all plasticizers are phthalates.)
The problem with phthalates in particular, though, is that they can leach out chemicals pretty easily. Considering this toy is coming into contact with your most sensitive bits, leaching is very bad, especially since some phthalates are thought to be carcinogenic (i.e., cancer-causing) or harmful to reproduction.
The most reputable brands make their toys without the use of phthalates, so, for the most part, you can rest assured in this area. Just make sure their description clearly labels their products as “phthalate-free” or “made without phthalates.” If ever in doubt, assume phthalates are used and find another brand. Your sexual health and wellness is just too important.
Now that we’ve covered the dangers of phthalates, let’s move onto common materials. To better understand the materials of toys, and therefore their safety, it’s important to first talk about two main properties of sex toys: porosity and inertness.
Sex toys are either porous or non-porous. When you think of something as porous, a sponge is probably the first thing that comes to mind. While a kitchen sponge is ideal for soaking up water, it can also soak up and harbor other things like bits of food and germs. Similar to a sponge, a porous sex toy can harbor bacteria which can, in turn, create or spread infections. When purchasing a toy, you want to choose something that is non-porous and can easily be cleaned after each use.
“Inertness” is the property of a material being non-reactive, meaning that it doesn't change over time. Inert materials won’t leach chemicals onto your skin and won’t harbor bacteria (as long as you’re washing and caring for your toys properly).
Non-porous + inertness = a quality sex toy.
If you’ve started to research sex toys, you might have noticed that many toys are made from silicone. Silicone rubber is an elastomer largely comprised of silica, which is an inert material. Silicone is also used in food-grade items since it’s important that chemicals aren’t leaching into our foods from our kitchenware. Silicone is also used often in medical devices. When silicone is used in medical devices and inserted into the body, it’s made into a special type of silicone, classified specifically as “medical-grade” silicone.
While silicone is generally safe for use in sex toys, it’s important to know that not all silicones are automatically non-porous and medical-grade. They need to be made that way on purpose. Furthermore, companies can insert additives or coloring into a product that makes a toy no longer inert, which is why it’s essential to purchase from reputable brands. Many brands are now opting to use medical-grade silicone in their products as it is the only type of silicone that has actually been tested to interact with human bodies. This type of silicone is more expensive, so it’s typically reflected in the price.
Like everything, just do a little bit of research beforehand to make sure you understand what type of silicone you’re buying. At TheVibed, our motto for our toys is "non-porous silicone and phthalate free; That's what I like inside of me!"
Consider these non-porous, phthalate-free silicone toys: Avant D10 Ergo Mini 6.5" Silicone Suction Cup Dildo or Ruse Juicy Silicone Dildo by Blush
Glass is both inert, non-porous, and easy to clean, which makes it a safe material for sex. You’ll just want to make sure the toy is sturdy enough and that you’re cleaning it properly after each use. As an additional fun benefit, glass toys also hold temperature well, so they can easily be heated or cooled to heighten sensations during play.
Looking to explore play with glass? Try this elegant and handcrafted glass toy: Icicles No. 57 by Pipedream.
ABS is a type of non-porous hard plastic. These types of toys are body-safe, easy-to-clean and generally smooth in nature. Silicone toys tend to feel more luxurious than ABS toys, but ABS is typically much less expensive than silicone. Most plastics don’t contain phthalates so you’re good to go there, but always check with the manufacturer if you aren’t sure.
Explore these Noje Pleasure Wands by Blush made from body-safe ABS.
Stainless steel and aluminum are common metal toys that are typically sleek, smooth and carry a bit of weight to them. These are also inert, non-porous materials, although metals can come in different grades. If a toy shows even the slightest sign of potential rust, it shouldn’t be used.
Like glass, metals are great for temperature play and can also be cleaned easily.
Go deep with this Master Series Metal Anal Plug from XR brands.
While less common than the others, you can actually purchase non-porous toys made from natural materials such as wood and stone. These toys are sometimes treated to make them non-porous and are often shaped into a sleek and beautiful design. Wood and stone toys are more likely to be high-quality (and expensive) novelty toys as opposed to your common everyday toys.
That’s a lot of acronyms, right? Let’s break these down.
Thermoplastic rubber (TPR), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) are materials typically found in porous toys. Jelly-like rubber is also another material that fits into the porous category (and one that commonly contains phthalates). The porous nature of these products means that microscopic holes can trap dirt and bacteria, even after it’s been washed. This bacterium can lead to infections once they’re introduced to those delicate mucous membranes we mentioned earlier.
It’s best to avoid toys that include these materials, but if you have a toy you really enjoy and insist on using, protect yourself by placing a condom over the toy.
Consider the following as warning signs when it comes to your toys:
Whether you’re introducing a toy to the bedroom for the first time or perhaps even questioning some of your previous purchases, it’s essential to use toys that are safe for your body. Toys should be made from non-porous and inert materials and should be cleaned and cared for properly.
Remember, sexual wellness is just as important as other aspects of your health (if not more!), and you should always purchase from a reputable manufacturer. When in doubt, ask questions—it’s your health after all.
Happy shopping!

To start your year off with a bang, we’ve rounded up 12 of the best sex toys for you to try this year. Cheers to these inclusive brands, techy toys, and ahhh-mazing designs in 2020.
Rabbit vibrators first came on the market in the 80s, and it’s about time they got an update, don’t you think? Yes, they’re amazing—to some the holy grail of sex toys—but after 30 years, it’s nice to see rabbit vibrators get a tech-forward update. This is where Blossom from Viotec comes in.
Blossom blends both clitoral and internal stimulation like traditional vibrators, but it is the first of its kind to feature a unique and intuitive touchscreen design for swiping your way toward pleasure. With an easy swipe of the finger, you can cycle up and down between 3 speeds of 7 patterns as it steadily vibes, pleasures, and penetrates. At the same time, the clitoral arm of the toy gently covers and vibes the clitoris. Three words: Sign. Us. Up.
Ultimate Pleasure Luxury Edition by Fantasy for Her

Designed to mimic oral sex, this toy perfectly cups the clitoris and labia, delivering a pulsing and suctioning sensation. With the press of a button, a motorized tongue sensually licks the clitoris and other sweet spots for a tantalizing experience. Continue to cycle through various tongue patterns for an entirely personalized experience. And don’t forget to try it out in the shower too, as this toy is entirely waterproof. And that’s not all. Part stimulator/part dildo, this toy also works well for deep G-spot penetration, thanks to its sensually curved handle. Talk about double the fun.

2X Double Vibrator by Adrien Lastic
A common problem with using a sex toy as a couple is that only one person at a time receives the pleasure. But not anymore. It’s 2020, and we’re better than that, people. The 2X Double Vibrator can be enjoyed both vaginally and anally, making it ideal for partner play, and the extra-long flexible silicone string allows for multiple positions. And with separate motors in each, it means each partner can get precisely the sensations they crave, all with the simple press of a remote-control button.
This couples vibrator leaves other vibes in the dust thanks to its cool tech features. With its unique shape and customizable fit, it can be inserted vaginally and will stay in position, even during sex to pleasure both partners. But if your partner is away, you can sync to the We-Connect™ app to play and share control of Chorus in the same room or miles apart. Cool app features include customized vibration patterns and vibrations synced to the beat of your favorite song. Chorus can also be controlled from its intuitive remote, which intensifies the vibrations and sensations as you squeeze it. So satisfying and seamless to use, it’ll have partners singing along in chorus.
Because we all have butts and anal pleasure knows no gender, this rimming plug is a toy that can be enjoyed by everybody. Its unique design features rotating beads at the neck to simulate the feel of a rim job. It also comes with a one-touch wireless remote control that works up to 30 feet away, so you can let your kinky side out if you please. Think: attending a party with your partner, while he or she secretly controls the rumbly sensations, completely unbeknownst to all other guests.

]]>This is why Pipedream introduced its line Fantasy For Her. Fantasy For Her is a collection of toys built for solo or partnered use for women, some to award-winning acclaim. These toys please above and below the belt in new and exciting ways, as well as in high-quality editions of more traditional shapes. Coated in hypoallergenic silicone, each item comes in an attractive light purple color that looks nice on your nightstand and makes clear the quality you’re getting.
Studies show that most women require clitoral stimulation, not only G-spot stimulation, to reach orgasm. Though there are great clitoral vibrators in the line, where Fantasy For Her excels in clit stimulation, as well as full vulva and other bodily stimulation, is suction. Suction stimulation is a relatively recent but popular trend among sex toy manufacturers because of its deep-reaching pleasure. While surface stimulation of the clit feels great, suction better engages the portions of the clitoris beneath the skin, and the sensitive nerve endings of other areas. A substantial portion of Fantasy For Her’s line is made up of forward-thinking toys that attach and pump against erogenous zones, sometimes in patterns, sometimes even with vibrations, and one with an automated licking tongue!
The Fantasy For Her Ultimate Climax-Her comes with three flexible tube attachments that gently envelop and suck at the clitoris. The slim attachments come in flared, circular, and longer options to ensure comfortable, pinpointed direction of the 12 suction patterns on all bodies. Gentle stimulation like this is great for those with a sensitive clit. By surrounding rather than directly rubbing, there is less opportunity for irritation during pleasure. In addition, the base vibrates at its rounded head to act as a wand vibrator to flip around or share with a partner!
Absolutely! The Fantasy For Her Tease ‘n’ Please-Her has a sucking hood at its center, along with a vibrating probe extending from the tip! The flexible probe bends and buzzes internally while the clitoral suction cup, outfitted with tickling bristles, gently tugs in 12 patterns. Vibrations and suction can be controlled independently or together at once.
For less pinpointed suction and more fully enveloping pleasure, try the Fantasy For Her Vibrating Roto Suck-Her. This unique vibrator has a flexible suction cup head that envelops the vulva in full. At the tip of the cup is a vibrating bullet that nestles against the clit and buzzes in 7 patterns. Suction is controlled independently with a release button. Tapping the release button starts and stops suction for a feathered, pumping sensation. By sucking at the whole surface area along with directing vibrations to the clit, the Roto Suck-Her emulates oral sex with lifelike “breathing” sensations for a very unique experience.
Nipple suckers are classic nipple toys, and most suction items in the Fantasy For Her line are capable of delivering that pleasure. They also feature vibrators designed specifically for the nipple in the Fantasy For Her Vibrating Nipple Suck-Hers. Squeeze and apply these 2-inch silicone cups to stick on and lightly tug at your nipples. Press the button on the outer bullet to activate vibrations as the interior bristles tickle your tips.
Want deeper vibrations all across your boobs? Upgrade to the 3-inch Fantasy For Her Breast Suck-Hers.
Fantasy For Her extends its high-end functions and waterproof technology to more conventional vibrators as well. The full silicone Body Massage-Her delivers deep and powerful rumbles in a personal massage wand shape. The round head can be used to loosen muscles all over the body as well as stimulate the clit and vulva.
The Wallbang-Her offers a unique twist on the rabbit vibrator. Dual motors at the tip of the shaft and the clitoral stimulator massage the clit and G-spot in a suction cup vibrator. The very flexible vibrator sticks to smooth, flat surfaces for comfortable humping in a rabbit shape.
Though the tonguelike shape stands out from other vibrators, the Fantasy For Her Finger Vibe is as straightforward as a clitoral vibrator gets. Simply clasp the ergonomic vibe, wrap the strap around your fingers, and have at it!
“Best” is subjective, but users of this top-selling sex toy might say so. If any one function on this list appeals to you, you’ll be happy to know that Fantasy For Her’s Her Ultimate Pleasure has all of them and more in one toy. On one end of is a tongue that flickers in 7 modes. Along with the toy are two hood attachments: one that fits around your nipple and another that fits around your vulva. Attach these over the tongue end to incorporate suction against those parts of your body while the tongue licks them! It’s all the best parts of oral sex at once! As if that didn’t already go above and beyond, the handle of the toy is a perfectly curvaceous 10-mode G-spot vibrator.
The versatile and creative functionality of this toy has earned it multiple awards, and it’s gone viral on Twitter more than once. To celebrate its success, Pipedream offers it in a 24k Gold Luxury Edition, with a limited scarlet colorway and real gold accents to push this impressive vibrator even higher over the top.
In a world where sex toy shapes have been done and overdone, Fantasy For Her takes creative risks to make impressive and uniquely pleasing products for the female body.

]]>Let's start from the bottom.
]]>Whether you're ready to try anal sex or still thinking about the possibility, you might be wondering, where should you even begin? In this post, we're sharing everything you should possibly know about anal sex, right down to the nitty-gritty details.
Let's start from the bottom.
One of the biggest reasons to banish the social stigma around butt fun is precisely that: it's fun. The anus is home to thousands of nerve endings, most of which are around the opening. The pleasure of this stimulation alone (even without penetration) is enough to consider embarking on new territory. And yet there's more.
For folks with penises, anal play can bring serious pleasure to the prostate or P-spot. Known colloquially as the male G-spot, it's an erogenous zone made of nerve-dense muscle tissue located about two inches inside the rectum towards the belly. In some people, this area can be so sensitive that they can achieve a prostate orgasm without even touching the penis. Others might enjoy stimulating both at the same time for a "full body" experience.
For vagina owners, anal penetration works its magic by stimulating the erectile tissue connected to the G-spot. Since this area has over 9,000 nerve endings, that's a lot of possible pleasure.
Are you excited yet? Of course you are. But hold your horses: back door play requires a little more prep than P-in-V sex or other types of play. Let's now get into some important prep work and a little basic anatomy while we're at it.
Having "The Talk" About Butt Fun
First things first. Deciding to partake in anal play can be both a thrilling and exciting experience. Like all types of sex, first talk to your partner about what they are comfortable with and what things they might like to try. The fact of the matter is that anal is not for everyone, and that's okay. Figure out if you're on the same page before moving forward.
And despite what movies or TV shows may lead you to believe, just lubing up and slipping in isn't going to happen. You and your partner need to communicate throughout the entire process. Even if you're a person who is normally very quiet during sex, this is the time you want to make yourself heard. Talk to your partner and share how you're feeling, what's working, and what isn't. Let them know if you're experiencing pain or discomfort, and also when things are feeling good too! This is a great experience for developing trust and communication with your partner, all in the name of feeling good and achieving the big O.
Even if you've had your morning coffee, took care of business, and had a super sudsy shower, there's probably one thing you're still concerned about when it comes to anal play: poop.
The fact of the matter is, sometimes, poop happens. It's just the way it is. Despite all your prep work, there's no guarantee that the experience will be entirely poop-free. There might still be some fecal matter involved, but if you're super worried, lay down some plush towels beforehand. You can also place condoms over toys or body parts.
If you want to be as clean as possible, there are special enemas available that can help get your ready for backdoor play. The Cleanstream Inflatable Enema Plug by XR Brands is a favorite, complete with everything you need for feeling extra fresh.
Whichever way you decide to prep, don't forget that between bodily fluids and lubes, all sex is a bit messy no matter what hole you're poking at. And if worse comes to worst, it'll all come out in the wash, right?
In case you caught yourself snoozing in the back of the room in Anatomy 101, we're here to bring you a little refresher course.
We're pretty sure you already know that your butthole is your anus (you did click on a post about anal play, after all), but let's go a little deeper. The anus is controlled by your sphincter muscle, which is designed to keep your poop in until you're ready to release. With that being said, it'll probably take a slow start and a little practice in order to learn how to relax those muscles. Once you get those muscles to loosen up, you can start to receive different sized toys and experiment with different types of pleasure.
Further into your anal canal is the rectum. Depending on your anatomy, anal penetration into the rectum can work to massage your prostate (the P-spot) or the G-spot. Both men and women have expressed a satisfying feeling of "fullness" during butt action, but different people feel different things.
If you only remember one important thing about anatomy, remember this: unlike the vagina, the anus and rectum arenot self-lubricating. You'll need to supplement your back door play with lubricants, and those will depend on what types of toys you are using. Let's get into those now.
We've already said it once, but we'll say it again: lube, lube, and MORE LUBE is necessary for butt action. No matter how turned on you or your partner is, you're going to need a little extra help in the slipperiness department since the anus and rectum won't be helping out with the lubrication.
Generally speaking, thicker lubricants add a little extra "padding" when to create a more frictionless experience, and some are even specifically designed for butt play. But you want to make sure you're using a lube best suited for your toys too. Remember to avoid silicone-based lubricants with silicone toys, as they can degrade the material.
The carefully crafted formula in Wicked Jelle Anal Lubricant is great choice for those who are looking for a lube that caters to sensitivity. Free of parabens and glycerin, this thick gel is 100% body-safe. The highly concentrated solution is also pH Balanced and long lasting.
Boy Butter offers a wide range of water-based lubes to experiment with, making them a great option for both anal play and vaginal play. On that note: make sure that you never use the same condom going from vaginal to anal and back again. Keep those germs separate, people!
And last but not least, if you're not using a silicone toy, Pjur's Original lube is an extra-long-lasting, silicone-based lubricant that is compatible to use with latex condoms.
Bucked has a line of pH balanced lubricants specifically for anal use, fortified with vitamin E and aloe vera for a fun, frictionless ride.
Before we even get into the amazing toys available for anal play (and there are a lot of them), also consider what you can do without them to lead up to arousal.
If it's the first time you and your partner are experimenting with anal, start by showing your partner some love on other body parts that they like having licked, kissed, sucked, bit, stroked, and caressed. Once your partner is turned on, help them acclimate to the sensation of anal stimulation by using your finger or your tongue around the rim of their anus. (Hence, the term "rimming.)
When you're ready to introduce a toy, this Petite Anal Teaser by Rocks-Off is a great place to start, offering 7 different vibration functions and a small girth.
We can't talk about anal play without mentioning butt plugs. Designed to stretch the anus and stimulate the nerve endings, butt plugs are a great introduction into the world of backdoor play. They come in a variety of sizes, so you can start small and work your way up to bigger plugs as you feel comfortable, and eventually to more advanced play with dildos and penises, if you please. Butt plugs are great on their own, offering a feeling of "fullness." Their tapered insertion helps with entry and their base keeps things in place as well as allowing for easy retrieval.
If you're looking for a good beginner kit, Blush's Luxe Beginner Silicone Butt Plug Kit will do the trick. Each plug has a satin-smooth silicone finish and the three various sizes let you gradually increase the girth and length as you feel comfortable.

For those with vaginas, this is a great time to mention double penetration. As you become more and more comfortable with anal penetration, consider combining both vaginal and anal penetration (with a partner or toys) for a seriously full-body experience.
Beads are another way to feel full while offering a tantalizing sensation during entry or exit that will have you on edge. Blush's B Yours Basic Beads start small and gradually get bigger, so you can comfortably ease into the string of beads. An easy retrieval ring lets your partner pull it out slow and steady for maximum pleasure.
Or, if you're feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the options, keep things simple by going for a beginner's kit. The B-Vibe Anal Training and Education Beginners Kit includes everything you need to get started, including three different-sized plugs, lubricant, an enema, travel bag, and even a handy guidebook.
Or consider the Anal Fantasy Beginner's Fantasy Kit by Pipedream, which is full of various toys to explore different types of stimulation. From beaded probes to plugs to finger sleeves to prostate massagers, there's something everyone can get behind.
When you start getting comfortable with insertion, the world opens up even more (pun intended). Let's talk vibrating toys.
The Revo Slim by Nexus is a rotating prostate and perineum massager. The perineum is the technical term between the penis and the anus, and it's also full of pleasure-seeking nerve endings. Crafted from velvety-soft silicone, the Revo Slim is perfect for targeting both areas with tons of different vibrating combinations.
Also great for prostate stimulation, the O-Boy Massager from Rocks-Off is designed to be enjoyed by both beginners and advanced players. Go at it with a partner or enjoy its wonderful magic all on your own.
And if that isn't already exciting enough, you can even get technical with anal play. Ditto by We-Vibe is a vibrating plug that creates powerful rumbly sensations. With the We-Connect app, you can explore the different modes from your smartphone or pass it off to your partner and let them take total control of your pleasure.
After all this toy talk, you might be wondering where harnesses come into play. Let's dive into pegging now, shall we?
You might have heard of the word pegging and assumed it simply meant anal penetration, right? The answer is both “yes” and “no.”
Put broadly, pegging is when anyone wears a strap on and penetrates someone else. The phrase was coined in 2010 by LGBT activist Dan Savage who decided heterosexual couples needed a term for the anal sex that happens when a woman wears a strap on and the man is the receiver. ('Punting' and 'bobbing' were also in the literary race, but ultimately pegging won out). The term is still widely used in heterosexual contexts, but really anyone can enjoy pegging regardless of gender or sexual orientation.
Let's first talk about the partner on the receiving end, aka: anyone with a butt. We've already talked about the buttload (sorry) of pleasure-inducing nerve endings around the anus. But for men who have never tried anal penetration, it can bring a whole new experience of sensations, most specifically, massaging of the prostate.
And pegging doesn't just feel good for the receiver. Women can feel pleasure in a few different ways when pegging. Depending on where you position the dildo, vulva-owners can achieve pleasure with every thrust on the clitoris or pubic mound. Some harnesses even come designed with a handy little pocket for holding a vibrator in place to constantly stimulate the clitoris while pegging.
And that's just the physical part. Pegging can be just as hot emotionally as it is physically. Pegging flips the script of which partner is penetrating the other, which has the potential to boost intimacy and trust when partners are open to this switch.
Whether you're starting slow with rimming and slim toys or are ready to give pegging a try, let's recap some of the most important things to remember about butt fun.
