7 entry level vibrators if you are new to the sex toy game

The best vibrating cock rings are the sex toy definition of a win-win, bringing good vibes to everyone in the room. You get the constriction of a cock ring, which strengthens an erection and boosts your sensitivity. And then there are the vibrations, which can stimulate both your partner and you, potentially at the same time. A great way to get a partner involved in the experience is with a remote-controlled vibrator. This egg vibrator can be used both internally and externally and is waterproof and rechargeable. She says, “The different vibrations can be kind of confusing…You don’t need all those functions as a beginner.” Dr. Tara also recommends starting with a soft surface (like silicone) for its feel and ease of use.

We’re all for lending your hand a hand, so let’s explore the realm of strokers and masturbators. This rabbit vibrator thrusts and vibrates, offering clit and G-spot stimulation simultaneously. While the product description and reviews don’t say whether it’s quiet, it is waterproof so you can muffle out any sounds with running water…and moans.

Whether you’re looking for a vibrator that can blend seamlessly with the decor of your bedroom or are just looking for a more out-of-the-ordinary device for your collection—you have options. The Crave Vesper is both of those things, with its long, sleek body that has multiple settings (including gentle and oscillating) for external use. “In addition to being easy-to-use, Vesper provides an aesthetic jewelry experience,” says Ti Chang, VP of Design and co-founder of Crave. If you like to engage in a little backdoor action, check out this beginner-friendly butt plug designed specifically for people with vulvas. It’s slim with an asymmetric base that won’t block the vaginal opening, and the curved tulip shape guides penises or toys toward the G-spot. Some are curved or have bulbous ends for G-spot stimulation, like the Lovehoney G-Slim G-Spot Vibrator ($20, Lovehoney).

With the speed and vibration options across the two motors, SnailVibe has 600 possible combinations, according to its site. The Strawberry was unimpressive—the actual shape of it made it lackluster to use, and it’s not something I would purchase again, especially with the $79 price tag. Ultimately, I would say yes to the Cherry, and no to the Strawberry, if I was looking to snag something from Emojibator’s toy lineup. If you’re determined to use the Cherry in the bath, the rating and several user reviews on Emojibator’s site indicate that you should have a nice time—my testing was skewed due to my initial struggle to find the charging port. As the name implies, Emojibators are vibrators that look just like Emojis. The product selection is quite small and the bestsellers frequently sell out, so if any grab your eye, grab them quickly.

This was another case where it felt like the toy’s function was a little at the mercy of its design. Much like the Cherry, if you’re looking for something that offers a lot of different options, you won’t get bored with the Strawberry , either. There are eight vibration patterns that can be combined with eight suction settings, so you can get a pretty wild range and combination of experiences. Sex toys are one of those things that should be fun to engage with—fun is, for the most part, the point!

The vibe pattern between the shaft and the rabbit “ears” is just immense,” wrote one reviewer on the Lelo site. To experience a more realistic, tongue-mimicking experience, users highly recommend using it with a decent amount of lube or other body-safe gel. “For 20 years of my life I have never been able to achieve full orgasm … this toy has gotten me there every single time I use it,” a pleased customer wrote. Promising a “100 per cent orgasm rate”, our sex writer, Ebony Leigh, put the claim to the test and gave it her tick of approval in her full review.

VUSH Gloss Bullet Vibrator is a pocket rocket that will help you see stars. It’s a fun sized bullet vibrator that proves size doesn’t always matter, with 10 vibration settings, precision point vibes to give total control viberator, and designed with medical grade silicone. If you’d like to experiment with some kinky BDSM play, Dr. O’Reilly recommends taking turns controlling the remote. “You’ll both get the chance to tease and enjoy the thrill of anticipation,” she says.

While it’s a similar size as many bullet vibrators, at 3.5 inches long, it also has the amped-up power of a wand. I love the sunshine yellow color and discreet charging case—you could almost mistake it for a pair of sunglasses in your bag. The design means that no matter which one you choose, insertion is made easy by the tapered shape and soft, sleek silicone.

But the Kiiroo’s claim to fame is the way it can integrate with VR porn. If you’ve already got a VR headset and want to really bring your fantasy to fruition, this could be a great investment.
