18 Sex Toys For Women Actually Worth Trying, Recommended By Experts

Lovehoney's AA-battery-operated waterproof mini vibrator has an angled tip that helps with direct clitoral and erogeneous zone stimulation during solo or partnered play. The 5-inch vibrator comes with a multi-speed dial for a variety of vibrations while keeping the sound whisper-quiet.

The hard plastic ABS materials are latex-free and phthalate-free, meaning it's safe to use on your genitals. Another favorite of Moore's, she recommends the toy as an effective yet budget-friendly option. "It gets the job done for a toy that costs less than your average trip to Starbucks."

Dame Aer’s vibe comes with pressure-wave technology to emanate rhythmic pulses of air over the clitoris for a distinctive experience. The Aer fits easily in the palm of the hand and provides a teasing thrill for a fun romp in the bedroom. Reviewers note the intensity can feel soft and light, and has the potential to escalate into multiple orgasms in one round. Another happy reviewer says, “Be patient. It will be worth the wait. It took a little bit to figure the right pulse and angle, but so worth it.”

“The Lelo Gigi 2 is a top-rated G-spot vibrator that features a curved and contoured design for targeted stimulation,” Lilithfoxx says, adding that it’s made with body-safe silicone and is equipped with a wide range of vibration patterns and intensities. 

“With any G-spot play, enjoy the journey and not the destination because it'll take relaxation to get you there more than precision,” she advises. “Plus, the g-spot is more of a general area than it is a ‘button,’ so explore a bit if you don't feel it immediately.”

Noted by many reviewers for its ideal size and mellow yet intense vibrations, the We-Vibe Ditto is satisfying if you’re looking for variety and comfort in the same product. “This butt plug is great for both newbies and experienced folks,” Consul says, noting that the smooth material and tapered shape help with easy insertion.

The vibrations and remote control function helps keep it interesting too, so there’s plenty of room for experimentation and endless play. “It’s a fun way to explore with your partner whether you’re in the same room or across the country,” she adds.

"[The Eva] is an external-only clitoral stimulator that a clitoris-owner can wear during any type of sex. It's buzzy, on the lighter side, and great for folks figuring out how to integrate clitoral stimulation during other types of play," relationship and sex therapist Rachel Wright tells mindbodygreen.

The Eva's slim and compact wearable design allows it to stay in place comfortably while the three-speed motor can reliably get you to orgasm with your partner. Play with it in the bedroom or in the shower; the medical-grade silicone material and waterproof feature allows for fun wherever you want to go.

Sex is a multi-dimensional foray into all of the senses. When there’s a desire to heighten arousal and amp up the atmosphere, a massage candle can do the trick. The LELO Flickering Touch Massage Candle doubles as a massage oil and scented candle all in one. It’s made out of all-natural soy wax and soothing shea butter, so it’s body-safe. Use it to lather your sweetheart up in a relaxing massage, or drip the heated candle wax onto their skin to initiate wax play. One reviewer raves, “Warm and sensual to all of your senses. Real foreplay treat!”

The We-Vibe Chorus is a C-shaped vibrator with two bendy, flat arms; one can press against the clitoris and the other can be inserted into the body and used during penetration. The arms are super flexible, and so is the vibrator itself—it can bend 180 degrees for all of your twistiest positions. Once you’re satisfied with your placement, it stays in place so you and your partner can whip out the controller to play around with the vibe pattern. 

“The We-Vibe is a highly recommended waterproof vibrator that is designed to be worn during partnered sex. It is app-controlled, allowing for customizable patterns and intensities,” Lilithfoxx says, though adds, “The remote is splash-proof and not waterproof, however so don't submerge that!”

Womanizer's Pleasure Air technology provides clitoral stimulation without direct contact, so you get all the pleasure without overstimulating the nerves. The waterproof toy delivers suction at six intensity levels and packs four hours of battery life.

Certified sex therapist Bat Sheva Marcus, Ph.D., MSW, MPH, notes this is a brand she recommends often. "It's not inexpensive, but because the suction needs to be fairly powerful, it's worth paying up for this. Many women say it feels like oral sex. So if you are an oral sex fan, and that gets you off, this one might be for you."

Sex therapist Aliyah Moore recommends the highly reviewed Satisfyer Pro 2+ to vulva owners who are new to sex toys and looking for an orgasm without penetration. "Instead of the typical vibrations that you get from most clitoral vibrators of massagers, the Satisfyer uses pressure waves to stimulate your clitoris."

The medical silicone mouth on the sex toy provides suction to the clitoris, allowing for a unique pleasure that reaches deep into the sex organ. Between 11 intensity levels and 10 patterns of pulsing, the toy allows you to have multiple orgasms without putting anything inside of yourself. Plus, it's waterproof and boasts a 60-minute battery life—plenty of time to allow for experimentation.

The options are endless with this dual-stimulation design; the internal shaft packs 12 vibrations, while the smaller bunny ears offer 3 speeds. Rotate through the patterns to powerhouse combo that works best for your body.

Made with soft silicone and ABS plastic for safe play, it features rabbit ears for tickling the clitoris and a curved shaft to provide pulsations to your G-spot or prostate. Phillips recommends it for any of his clients looking for simultaneous vaginal and clitoral stimulation. 

Sure, you can stack a bunch of pillows underneath you during sex. Or, you can use a sex pillow with a contoured design to give you a firm, stable base to work with that’s specifically designed for maximizing pleasure during sex. A satisfied reviewer said: “My girlfriend really wanted to try this, but I was skeptical, plus it’s not cheap. But I was delightfully surprised [by] how much this changes sex. Definitely recommend this.”

The Wedge was also angled with the perfect level of elevation to relieve any neck pain or muscle aches with oral or penetrative sex, and the pillow is wrapped in a micro-fiber cover that you can throw in the wash for hygienic purposes.

The Magic Wand is the little black dress of sex toys. In fact, it's so consistent, Marcus recommends every woman should have a wand in their vibrator collection.

The rechargeable pick comes with an updated, easy-to-clean silicone head and the same legendary deep, rumbly vibrations for orgasmic pleasure. "It's an all-around massager that works not only on my pleasure zones but also on other parts of my body or my partner's like the back, neck, and shoulders after long travels," Moore says. 

If you don't want to keep your sex toys locked away in your nightstand, take the Vesper with you for a night out on the town. Made from high-polish stainless steel, the 3-inch slim pendant shape hangs on a chain around your neck with an intense vibration on the tip for focused clitoral stimulation. "Wear it out and then use it wherever you'd like," Wright recommends. "It's sexy to wear something so out in the open–if you know, you know." 

The Tango has been a We-Vibe bestseller for the past decade, per their website. Consul recommends it as her favorite bullet vibrator to recommend to friends and clients alike. The toy hits all of the marks needed to make it an instant crowd-pleaser: body-safe, rumbly, discreet, mini, waterproof, sleek design, and easy to charge. Plus, it comes with several vibration modes such as the tease, cha-cha, wave, and pulse so you always have the option to mix it up for solo and partnered sex.

One satisfied customer noted, “I’ve been having issues with self-pleasure for a very, very long time, and purchasing this has really helped. It’s also very quiet as advertised! Just keep a blanket on and your door shut if you’ve got roommates and you’ll be fine. It’s powerful even though it’s very small.”

For those with endometriosis, pelvic floor dysfunction, or who experience pain with sex for any reason, the Ohnut is a sex toy specifically designed to increase comfort by controlling the depth of penetration during intercourse. “Ohnut goes around the base of the penis or dildo and prevents deep insertion, which makes sex less painful and anxiety-filled,” notes Consul, who recommends the toy as a great way to maximize sexual pleasure while limiting any discomfort for the vagina owner.

The toy is made out of stackable, stretchy rubber rings which can be worn around the penis or insertable sex toy to cushion penetration. Plus, it’s ribbed and feels like skin for the wearer, so you aren’t taking anything away from the sex–in fact, you’re adding to the experience. “They also offer a vibrating ring for added sensation.”

Ideal for G-spot stimulation, the finger extender was ergonomically designed so you could easily slip your two fingers into the toy. The body-safe material lets you feel your muscle contractions and the warmth of your body, so the touch feels natural and super-soft. Good for solo or partnered masturbation, customers rave that the toy is amazing for those who love finger play. 

"I have to admit I don't get off from penetration alone, and I know most people don't either. That's where rabbit vibrators with clitoral and internal stimulation come in," Moore notes. The water-safe and body-safe Nora toy has an external vibrating arm to deliver rumbly vibes to the clit while the insertable arm rotates instead of vibrates, which uniquely stimulates your G-spot. So, where does the innovation come in? The technological features. The app-controlled vibrator can be used at close range or far away, which also makes it a great sex toy for long-distance relationships. "You can even sync it to your favorite playlist or your partner's voice," she says. 

When looking for the best lube option that’s mess-free, hands-free, hygienic, and warming, look no further than Pulse. The company created the world’s first lubricant and oil-warming dispenser designed with airless pump technology so no bacteria can contaminate the system. Just wave your hand under the dispenser, and you get a dollop of warm lube for a smooth and frictionless sexual experience. Choose between a water-based lube, silicone-based lube, or massage oil (packaged in recyclable pods) to go with your system. 

Although it’s expensive, the quality and attention to the details of the system make it worth every penny. A reviewer raved, “Sleek design, user-friendly, discreet, effective. I cannot speak more highly about the Pulse Warming Dispenser.”
