Buying a vibrator isn't exactly difficult these days—you can grab one from a sex store or literally throw one in your Amazon cart along with your body wash and dog food. The real challenge is narrowing down your options. Between wand vibrators, rabbit vibrators, bullet vibrators, clitoral suction toys, palm vibrators, and everything in between, there are hundreds of sex toys competing for space on your nightstand.
That's partly because there's no single vibrator that works for everyone. "Every woman's genital nerves are positioned a bit differently," says LELO sexpert, licensed psychologist, and certified sex therapist, Laurie Mintz, PhD. Some people love pinpoint stimulation, while others prefer broader sensations, internal stimulation, clitoral stimulation, or some combination of the above. In other words, the vibrator your best friend swears by might not do much for you—and vice versa.
The good news? Cosmo editors have tested an impressive number of vibrators over the years in the name of journalism. Some were great. Some were forgettable. And some earned permanent spots in our drawers. The vibrators on this list are the ones that consistently stand out, whether because they're powerful, beginner-friendly, versatile, budget-friendly, or simply deliver every single time.
Our top picks for the best vibrators of 2024:
Ahead, the best vibrators for women, including editor favorites, top-rated customer picks, and options for every budget, experience level, and pleasure preference.
Pros
- Shape is compact and versatile
- Great quality for the price
Cons
- Power button is sensitive, so easy to press accidentally
- Vibration may be too weak for some
plusOne has built a loyal following for making affordable sex toys that don't skimp on features. This palm-sized vibrator is waterproof, rechargeable, made from body-safe silicone, and surprisingly versatile for the price. One of the brand's most popular options, it offers 10 vibration settings and can be used on the clitoris, vulva, nipples, or anywhere else you'd like a little extra stimulation.
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 4 speeds and 6 patterns
- Run time: Up to 2 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Cup this one against your vulva for broader stimulation, or use the tip for more targeted clitoral stimulation.
Glowing Customer Review: "I was a little hesitant...but the affordable price point made it easier to decide. The curved shape feels so comfortable for my hands (no cramping!) and fits comfortably against me. The vibes are varied and strong enough to meet my needs, but it's quiet enough to be discreet. 10/10."
Pros
- Incredibly squishy and soft, thanks to dual-density silicone
- Larger-than-average size makes it easy to hold
Cons
- Button can be tricky to press, per some testers
- Not designed for anal or vaginal penetration
Don't let the size fool you. This compact bullet vibrator delivers surprisingly powerful, rumbly vibrations in a discreet package. Made with dual-density silicone, it has a softer, squishier tip that feels comfortable against the body while still offering three speeds and seven patterns to experiment with. Better yet, it's impressively quiet for how much power it packs.
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 3 speeds and 7 patterns
- Run time: Up to 1 hour
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Thanks to its squishy tip, you can press the toy more firmly against your body to spread the vibrations across a larger area.
Glowing Customer Review: "This has fast become the favorite of all my toys. The tip is amazing. The squishiness means I can vary the pressure with ease. The power this packs is surprising, and the patterns to choose from are varied. This vibe is also very quiet, a must when you have paper-thin walls like me."
Pros
- Easy to hold and maneuver
- Operation is pretty quiet
Cons
- Vibes feel a bit too tame for some
- Suction isn't the most intense
Clitoral suction toys use pulses of air to create targeted stimulation, and Puff is one of the best-reviewed options out there, with more than 2,300 five-star reviews on Unbound. It's waterproof, rechargeable, surprisingly quiet, and offers five intensity settings to experiment with. And as someone with an admittedly extensive collection of Unbound toys, I can confirm it's still my personal favorite.
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 5 speeds
- Run time: Up to 3 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Because Puff doesn't rely on traditional vibration, all you need to do is create a seal and let the air-pulse sensation do the work.
Glowing Customer Review: "This one will get the job done! I do wish the vibration was a bit more powerful, but on the other hand, the sucking sensation is just right. There are different speeds for your preference, and it is easy to operate with one hand, and you can get it to stay in place in the right position. Easy to clean and charge—and charges quickly!"
Pros
- Flattened tip allows for gentle (yet powerful) massages
- Vibes are impressively rumbly for the price
Cons
- Battery life could be better
- Not the quietest toy, per some testers
Lovehoney's Mon Ami collection is known for offering aesthetically pleasing vibrators at relatively affordable price points, and this curved internal vibrator is a standout. Equipped with five speeds and seven vibration patterns, the G-Spot Massager features a flexible, bulbous tip designed for targeted internal stimulation and more than five inches of insertable length—all for around $50.
And while experts generally agree that the G-spot isn't a distinct anatomical structure, many people still enjoy the sensations created by stimulating the front wall of the vagina, which is exactly what this toy is designed to do.
- Use: Internal and external
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 5 speeds and 7 patterns
- Run time: Up to 1 hour
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Try moving the toy in and out while applying pressure to the front wall of the vagina (toward the belly button) to maximize stimulation.
Glowing Customer Review: "This is a beautifully well-made toy. It is long and curved, just right to hit my G-spot. This vibrator has everything right: luxurious silicone, rechargeable, waterproof, and easy to use. The vibrations are strong, and oh boy, it reaches deep. It's now my go-to favorite in my bedside drawer. "
Pros
- Double-ended
- Can be used internally and externally
Cons
- Not the best option for shower play
- Testers find the pointed end better for clit stim than internal stim
There's a reason Goop's first-ever sex toy sold out so quickly: It's one of the more versatile wand vibrators on the market. This unique design features two independent vibrating ends, each with eight vibration patterns and adjustable intensity levels, making it easy to switch between different types of stimulation. It's also made from medical-grade silicone, which is always a plus.
One thing to note: It's not the quietest vibrator in the bunch. But if you're looking for a toy that can provide both internal and external stimulation in a single device, it's well worth considering.
- Use: Internal and external
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 8 patterns per end
- Run time: Up to 1 hour
- Waterproof? No, only water-resistant
Pro Tip: Press the tapered end against your clitoris for more targeted stimulation, or insert it vaginally to explore internal sensations.
Glowing Customer Review: "This is the most beautiful vibrator in the world. I like the design. It has two ends. One end is for external massage and the other end is soft and flexible for internal spot excitement. It has many settings you can choose from to suit your needs."
Pros
- Approachable enough for newbies
- Wide mouth can accommodate most clitorises
Cons
- Can get pretty noisy (especially when it's not pressed against your body)
- Suction isn't as intense as some had hoped
If you love the sensation of oral sex, Aer is a great place to start. It uses pressure-wave technology to mimic the flutter of a tongue and the suction of a mouth, with five speeds and five pulsing patterns that make it easy to customize the experience. According to former Cosmo sex and relationships editor Veronica Lopez, it feels remarkably close to "receiving actual oral heaven."
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 5 speeds and 5 patterns
- Run time: Up to 1.5 hours on highest setting
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Apply a small amount of water-based lube around the toy's mouth to help create a better seal and mimic the wetness of oral sex.
Glowing Customer Review: "This was my first try at an air pulse stimulator and I couldn't be happier! Aer is easy to use, comfortable to hold, and the ability to slowly increase between intensity levels is ingenious. My only complaint is that I didn't decide to get one sooner!"
Pros
- Actually whisper-quiet, so great for discreet public use
- Compatible with both remote control and app
Cons
- Silicone attachment could be thicker, per some testers
- Can make some noise when pressed against a hard surface (like a chair)
Designed with public play in mind, this wearable vibrator from ZALO can be used two different ways: secured to your underwear with a magnetic clip or worn internally with the removable silicone attachment. It's compatible with both the ZALO Remote Pro app and the included squeeze-activated remote, giving you plenty of options for hands-free or partner-controlled play.
- Use: Internal and external
- Material: Silicone and ABS plastic
- Modes: 8 vibration settings
- Run time: Up to 1 hour
- Waterproof? No, only splashproof
Pro Tip: Wear it without the attachment for external vulva stimulation, or add the silicone bulb for internal stimulation.
Glowing Customer Review: "ZALO never fails to amaze me! The quality of this vibrator is fantastic, and I like how versatile the patterns can be through the remote and the app. Thanks to the magnet keeping it in place, it did not slip out as I walked around."
Pros
- Provides both vibing and tapping sensations
- Great for folks with limited mobility
Cons
- Charging takes a while
- Some testers found the buttons tricky to push
If you enjoy grinding or hands-free stimulation, this lay-on vibrator is worth a look. Its curved shape is designed to rest comfortably against the pubic bone, allowing you to rock, grind, or apply pressure exactly where you want it. Better yet, it combines both vibration and tapping sensations for a more layered experience, and the micro-adjustable settings make it easy to customize.
- Use: External only
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 7 speeds and 3 patterns
- Run time: Up to 2 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: While it's especially well-suited for grinding, this toy can also be pressed against the clitoris, tucked beneath the breasts or thighs, or used on the scrotum and perineum during partnered play.
Glowing Customer Review: "I loved my old Laya and was so excited to get the new one! I love the shape of this vibe and the way it fits over me. Great for grinding. The new vibrations are definitely stronger than my old one and do feel more rumbly. Highly recommend!"
Pros
- Provides internal and external stim simultaneously
- Really does simulate the feel of oral sex, per reviewers
Cons
- Some find the insertable section a bit too girthy
- Can't be fully submerged in water, so not for extended shower play
This dual-stimulation toy went viral on TikTok for a reason. It combines internal vibration and clitoral suction in one flexible design, making it a strong option for anyone interested in blended stimulation. Better yet, the 10 vibration modes and 10 suction settings can be controlled together or independently, making it easy to customize the experience.
- Use: Internal and external
- Materials: Silicone
- Modes: 10 speeds and 10 patterns
- Run time: Up to 45 minutes
- Waterproof? No, only water-resistant
Pro Tip: Since this toy is highly flexible and the functions are independently controlled, you can use either end on its own if dual stimulation feels a little overwhelming at first.
Glowing Customer Review: "I tried it when it first arrived and I wasn't too sure about it. After a few days, I decided to try again and it was pure HEAVEN. I squirted TWICE IN THE SAME NIGHT. I was only able to do that once before, years ago! Definitely my go to toy, 10/10 recommend!!!"
Pros
- Elliptical motion is so unique
- Offers intense clitoral stim without leaving you numb
Cons
- May feel a bit too intense for more sensitive folks
- Can get pretty noisy on higher settings
Unlike traditional vibrators, the DOT uses a soft, flexible tip that moves in elliptical motions rather than relying solely on vibration. The result is a more targeted sensation that many users find intense without being overwhelming. It also comes equipped with eight pleasure settings and a compact, ergonomic design that's easy to hold and maneuver.
- Use: External only
- Materials: Silicone and ABS plastic
- Modes: 8 settings
- Run time: Up to 2 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: For an additional $30, you can upgrade to the LELO DOT Cruise, which uses "cruise control" technology to automatically increase intensity when pressed more firmly against the body.
Glowing Customer Review: "This has been my favorite toy so far, as it's both ergonomic and stands true to how it's been advertised. The way that I would describe the movement is a very rapid, almost like a fluttering '8.' Another advantage this toy has is that it doesn't leave you numb like traditional vibrators, since the silicone tip merely taps/flutters on you."
Pros
- Can be controlled remotely for discreet public play
- Shape allows for simultaneous internal and external stim
Cons
- A few testers found it tricky to get the right positioning
- Egg can be intimidating to insert (but goes in pretty easily with lube)
Looking for a vibrator you can wear hands-free? This wearable egg vibrator can be controlled at close range with the included remote or from virtually anywhere via the We-Vibe app. Its U-shaped tail is designed to hug the body and help keep the toy securely in place, while the quiet motor and reliable connectivity make it a standout for solo or partner play.
- Use: Internal and external
- Material: Silicone
- Modes: 3 speeds and 7 patterns
- Run time: Up to 4 hours
- Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: The We-Vibe app offers several ways to control the toy, including a touchscreen mode that lets you adjust the intensity simply by sliding your finger up or down the screen.
Glowing Customer Review: "This is an intense G-spot stimulator and is like nothing I have ever experienced before. It is extremely quiet and discreet and is perfect for any occasion. I also found that this toy stimulated my clit, which was an added bonus."
Pros
- Squeeze-sensor tech is a big plus
- Testers appreciate the independenly-controlled arms
Cons
- Constant squeezing can lead to hand fatigue
- May take some time to master the squeeze sensors
One of our favorite rabbit vibrators ever, the Artist stands out thanks to its adjustable shape, which can be contoured to fit your anatomy. It also features two powerful motors and lets you control each arm independently, with four vibration modes each. Prefer to let the toy do the work? Sensor mode automatically adjusts the intensity when you squeeze the handle.
One more thing: The longer arm is designed for anal use as well, making this a surprisingly versatile option.
• Use: Internal and external
• Material: Silicone
• Modes: 4 settings per arm and 1 sensor mode
• Run time: Up to 2 hours
• Waterproof? Yes
Pro Tip: Press and hold both buttons simultaneously to activate Creative Control mode, which allows you to control the settings on the short and long arms separately.
Glowing Customer Review: "This is my new FAVORITE toy! I have no idea what my orgasms were like before this one arrived in the mail. The shape is unique, and the sensations provide the perfect stimulation in and out! The vibe is sensational. Worth the splurge."
Pros
- Discreet, aesthetic design that's tapered for easier insertion
- 1.5-inch diameter is approachable while still providing a nice feeling of fullness
Cons
- Some wish it came with a remote for easier operation
- Has limited vibe modes (and shouldn't be fully submerged in water)
Anal toys aren't just for people with prostates. Many people enjoy anal stimulation on its own, while others find it complements other forms of pleasure. This updated version of Maude's original Cone features a tapered shape for comfortable insertion, a flared base for safety, three vibration speeds, and nearly five inches of insertable length, making it a solid option for both beginners and experienced users.
• Use: Internal and external
• Material: Silicone
• Modes: 3 speeds
• Run time: Up to 1.5 hours
• Waterproof? No, only water-resistant
Pro Tip: Because the anus isn't self-lubricating, be generous with water-based lubricant before use.
Glowing Customer Review: "Substantial enough to impress and well-designed for pleasure. The vibrations are pleasing; the Medium Cone is quite nice when switched off as well. We are having a great time with our newest toy. Highly recommended."
So...what is the best vibrator for women?
What is the best vibrator for women, you ask? If you have a vulva, then you know there are plenty of ways to get off—and for that reason, a universal vibrator that knocks everyone's socks off simply doesn't exist. What works for you may not necessarily work for your best friend, and that's totally normal. "This is because our sexual responses are not exactly the same; everyone might want something a little different," sexologist Carol Queen, PhD, previously told Cosmo. And while vaginal insertion may work for some folks, others may need clitoral stimulation in order to orgasm.
If you're not sure where to start, the first question to ask yourself is: external or internal? To give you a bit more info, let's get into the main types of vibrators for people with vulvas.
Clitoral vibrators: Any toy that focuses on pleasuring the clitoris (such as clit suckers or bullets) is categorized as a clitoral vibe. As Dr. Jess O'Reilly previously told Cosmo, "Clitoral stimulation is the most direct and reliable path to pleasure and orgasm for many folks," which is why these types of toys are so popular.G-spot toys: Also known as dildos or internal vibrators, these sex toys use vibrations or thrusting motions to stimulate the internal hot spot commonly referred to as the G-area.Wand vibrators: Some of the most rumbly, powerful vibrators around, wands are used to stimulate the clit or other external zones. Ever heard of the Magic Wand? Yep, as it turns out, back massagers can do more than just knead sore muscles.Rabbit vibrators: Made popular by Sex and the City, these dual-motor vibes are all about dual stimulation. Complete with an internal vibing or thrusting shaft and signature clitoral-tickling bunny ears, rabbits are ideal for anyone who needs both clitoral and internal stim to orgasm. Bonus: They're a popular choice for people interested in exploring squirting, too.Anal toys: Anal sex toys include butt plugs, anal beads, anal vibrators, and any other vibrating or non-vibrating toy designed for anal use. Side note: You don't need a prostate to enjoy anal stimulation. Some people also find that anal play indirectly stimulates other sensitive areas, including the anterior fornix erogenous zone (A-spot).
How to choose the best vibrator
A few things to keep in mind before clicking that "add to cart" button for your new vibrator:
Consider the material
When it comes to vibrators, material matters. It's best to steer clear of toys made with PVC, as they tend to be more porous and difficult to fully sanitize (not to mention they may contain chemicals called phthalates). Instead, certified sexologist Gigi Engle suggests looking for toys "made from body-safe or medical-grade silicone," which work great with water-based lubes.
Find the right weight
Generally speaking, a heavier counterweight can create deeper, rumblier vibrations. But that doesn't mean every powerful toy is automatically a great one. Vibrators also need to be well-balanced so the vibrations are concentrated where you want them, not in the handle. And depending on how you plan to use your toy, a lighter option may be preferable—especially if you're looking for something travel-friendly.
Check out the bonus features
While there's nothing wrong with a toy that can't be recharged or fully submerged in water, many of the best vibrators tend to share a few key features. They're fully waterproof (so you can use them in the tub or shower), USB rechargeable, and offer multiple vibration patterns and intensity levels for a more customizable experience. That said, a vibrator doesn't need to have all these features to be worth the investment—it ultimately comes down to which functions matter most to you.
