The Best Sex Toys 2025, Tested and Reviewed

Penetration rarely makes an appearance during my masturbation sessions, as I often experience dyspareunia (or pain during penetration). However, I was eventually able to give the dildo side of the toy a try when my long-distance partner was in town. After a thorough preplay session, my partner lubed up the Vibrato and slowly slid it inside me. While there’s tons of toys on the market — ones that cater to penetration, to high tech bells and whistles or ones that are just unique and a little surprising —  sometimes you want to find a toy that’s really good at one thing. Try a few of these out and you’ll level-up your cliteracy in no time. Svakom’s Vibrating Love Egg has a fun remote-control feature vibrator, so you can hand control to your partner, while those on the hunt for something a little different should consider Lovehoney’s knicker vibrator.

But we do not think this toy is the best pick for solo clitoral play (unless you prefer “riding” or grinding against a vibrator while lying face down, as opposed to holding it in place with your hand). We do think this toy has great potential for use during partnered intercourse, where the person with the vulva is on top. We decided to test the Fun Factory Volta on the recommendation of esteemed sex-toy blogger Epiphora, who gave it a glowing review and selected it as one of the best sex toys of 2018.

For example, those who are circumcised can have a smaller frenulum than those who aren’t circumcised, or they may not have any frenulum at all—which is totally normal! But more importantly, both the glans and frenulum can be sensitive to the right kind of vibrations, but proceed with caution, as they’re going to be more sensitive than you realize. This Bluetooth-accessible vibrator may look tiny, but once you insert its bulbous end and place its tail on your clit, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by its impressive dual stimulation. Did we mention that you can also sync it to music and create your own vibration pattern? So, take a gander at your “Sexy Time” Spotify playlist and get down to business. Think about how you plan on using your vibrator—which body part(s) you want it to work for, which sex position(s) or sex act(s) you want it to fit into, and so on—and then choose a vibrator shape that works for those purposes.

The brand has since launched numerous iterations, including the G-Spot Rabbit Vibrator. It’s designed like a standard dildo, only it’s a bit shorter and curved at the end to stimulate the G-spot. The additional protrusion—in the shape of a rabbit complete with two bunny ears— stimulates the clitoris at the same time.

With its slightly slimmer shaft, flexible clitoral stimulator, and intense vibration patterns, it’s ideal for use with a partner. Whether you’re taking turns controlling the settings or using it during foreplay, this toy knows how to play nice (but not too nice). Skyn Vibes caters to newcomers in the world of pleasure with its user-friendly design and approachable features.

If your vibrator isn’t made out of quality material or all that easy to clean, you probably won’t be reaching for it all that much, even if you’re horny 24/7. Simply put, if you’re regularly putting something near, on, or in your genitals, you’ll want to make sure that something is safe and that it can take a nice thorough clean after. This might mean that you stay away from those mildly sketchy super cheap vibrators and invest a little more, which doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have to sacrifice affordability. Sex toys can be made from lots of different materials—some are porous, while others are non-porous.

Don’t be deceived by its size – this petite vibrator stimulates the clitoris with a powerful tapping sensation, with the help of three speeds and six vibration patterns. Our in-house team of reviewers has collectively tried over 500 sex toys—the ones we featured here are amongst their tried-and-true faves. We also asked sex educators and therapists to share the products that have been the biggest game-changers in their clients’ and patients’ solo and partnered sex lives. The final list only includes options that earned two enthusiastic thumbs up. Our favorite palm vibe, the Le Wand Point, has a sleek stainless steel handle and an uber-soft ridged silicone tip. The heavier steel end allows the toy to provide more pressure than an all-silicone option, Finn previously told SELF.

The bottom button turns the toy off and on (long hold) and cycles through five vibration patterns (press). The upper buttons move the intensity up and down through five levels. According to the manufacturer, the Aer can fully charge in two hours and can operate at the highest setting for up to one and a half hours on a full charge. In our testing, we were able to achieve a full charge from a drained battery in only an hour and 16 minutes—and the toy was still going strong after we left it on at maximum speed for two hours.

The flexible pointed tip of this teardrop-shaped vibrator offers intense pinpoint stimulation, while the loop handle makes it easier than most to hold. This toy offers strong vibrations, has a rechargeable battery, and comes with an impressive warranty, all at a fraction of the price of similar models. Look no further for a vibrator that doesn’t look quite so much like, well, a vibrator.

Designed to be worn between your fingers, the Fin is an easy-to-grasp sex toy that can stay discreet during sex, Lisa Finn , sex educator with sex toy store Babeland, tells SELF. “You don’t have to worry about it slipping from your hands as you play, which is great for mobility and accessibility as well as keeping it from being obstructive or in the way,” they say. It’s also water-resistant, USB-rechargeable, and has three low-intensity settings that you can explore by pressing its only button.
