The Best Sex Toys for Solo Masturbation, Couple Play, Penises, Vulvas, and Travel
These orgasmic gadgets do all the work so you and your partner can just do the play.
LELO SONA Cruise FOR VULVAS
Now 23% Off
Think about standing next to a loudspeaker at a club: The pulsing, humming bass penetrates to your very core. This stimulator uses the same sensation to massage your clitoris for a fast, deep orgasm that will blow your mind, not ears.
We-Vibe Touch FOR COUPLES
Credit: Lovehoney.comMany people hate insertable couples vibes because they’re uncomfortable, so the We-Vibe Touch solves for that. It’s thin enough to fit between your bodies without being inserted, and its scooped tip rests nicely against your vulva.
BlowYo Sensation Swirl Textured Blowjob Stroker FOR PENISES
Credit: LovehoneyMasturbation sleeves are nothing new, but this one has an open end so you can get in on the action with your mouth too. For the ultimate job, stretch it out to fit the length of their erect penis, then work it over them as you lick their tip.
Le Wand Rechargeable Vibrating Massager MOST POWERFUL
Credit: LeWandCult faves the Magic Wand Original and its younger sis, the Magic Wand Rechargeable, finally have fresh competition. Le Wand is a more powerful, rechargeable massager with additional intensity levels and chic metallic accents.
Babeland Babe Bullet LEAST PRICEY
Credit: Babeland.comSure, this little guy comes with a fugly battery pack attached to it, but the power is worth it. Just a heads-up that you’ll need to use two hands—one to hold the egg-shaped bullet and the other to adjust the intensity.
Satisfyer Pro Traveler BEST FOR TRAVEL
Credit: SatisfyerLooks like a high-end makeup compact, magnetically closes shut like an AirPods case, suctions your sensitive spots with 11 settings like a freaking pro...yep, you can (and will) sneak this tiny toy anywhere and everywhere.

Quiet Vibrators That Won’t Make a Sound
Sex educator Cameron Glover road tested vibes that claim to be hush-hush and found the best ones.
Je Joue Mimi Soft MOST POWERFUL COMPACT VIBE
Credit: Je Joue“It’s small, compact, and much more powerful than you’d think. It also fits perfectly over the entire vulva (or most of it) for a super-nice sensation. That said, it’s not all that quiet, even on its lowest setting.”
Unbound Squish MOST FUN TO USE
Credit: Unboundbabes.com“It was fun to masturbate with. You squeeze the sides to activate the intensity of the vibrations, which were strong and consistent and got me off really well. But it did have a pretty loud, rumbly motor. I’d probably use it with some music playing.”
Lelo Lily 2 QUIETEST IN SHOW
Credit: Lovehoney.com“It’s the most silent of the bunch and was almost completely muffled from first placement. Add my duvet and blanket on top, and it was really quiet. The shape makes it easy for pinpointing direct stim on your nipples or clitoris, but it’s scented—and while it’s not overpowering, I prefer unscented sex toys so they don’t throw off my vulva’s sensitivity.”
Tenga iroha+ Kushi MOST VERSATILE SHAPE
Credit: Tenga“This was my favorite, hands down. It has a more obvious ‘vibrator’ sound, but it’s not so loud that it can’t be muffled. The softness of the silicone and the ridges make it feel different, and it does surprisingly well holding itself in place so you can switch up positions.”

Lovehoney Ignite Orgasm Gel Arousal Booster
Credit: LovehoneyA small bit of it on your clit or nipples goes a long way (like all the way through foreplay). It’s the perk-up your parts need pre-touching.

A neuroscientist and the founder of Liberos, a sex research and biotech company, Prause—who’s been looking into orgasmic meditation and high-arousal states—knows exactly how sex can improve your daily life. “It can be helpful for sleep, managing stress, and increasing focus,” she says.

THE MILLENNIAL CARRIE BRADSHAW
Karley Sciortino
As a leader of the shame-free female sexuality movement, Sciortino has had a “happy ending” massage on her Viceland show Slutever, waxed poetic about her masturbation habits in her book by the same name, and navigated identity and sexuality as a writer on Starz’s Now Apocalypse (premiered March 10). “My goal is to humanize sexual outliers and instigate frank conversations,” she says. “A great gateway is being open about my own sex life and slutty history.”

THE COMEDIAN WHO’S HONEST ABOUT OS
Remy Kassimir
At 28 years old, Kassimir had never experienced an orgasm, so she decided to talk about it—to hundreds of people. Since launching her podcast, How Cum, in late 2017, she’s become a voice for those with less sexual experience. “I was so nervous about being a weirdo, and I thought it was going to expose me,” she says. “But the response has been overwhelming. A lot of people are saying, ‘I thought I was alone until you said something.’” Listen in, and you may feel a comforting sense of camaraderie too.

THE SEX-TOY TRANSFORMERS
Alexandra Fine and Janet Lieberman
These two are making next-level, all-inclusive sex toys at their company, Dame Products. In 2015, they wowed with the hands-free Eva, a vibe with wings that tuck under the labia so it stays in place during partnered sex. This year, they launched Pillo, a soft wedge that lifts your hips for easier angling. “Women have been less encouraged to own their sexual satisfaction. We want to be a part of shifting that,” says Fine.

THE NAUGHTY PROFESSOR
Andrea Barrica

THE RESEARCH RENEGADE
Debby Herbenick, PhD
Think of Herbenick as the sexiest scientist ever. As a professor at Indiana University School of Public Health, she has studied women’s thoughts about their own vaginas as well as the surprising things that can get us off. “I try to give voice to the full range of ways that women experience sex,” she says.
