The best small (but mighty) vibrators you need in your bedside drawer
Who said size matters?

Small vibrators are some of the best to have in your sex toy drawer. They don’t take up much space, are discreet, and can be just as powerful and pleasurable as any other vibrator.
They also make for great travel companions as they are easy to hide away in your luggage — although if you’re traveling abroad, make sure the toy has a travel lock to save yourself from any embarrassment at customs!
Even though they’re small, these vibes don’t skimp on power — plus small toys can be a great addition to partnered sex as well as masturbation, as they don’t get in the way.
From tiny bullets and clit sucker oral sex toys to dinky rabbit vibrators — these are some of the best small vibrators out there.

How to use a small vibrator
There are a lot of benefits to opting for a smaller toy: they can be less intimidating, they’re easy to store (and hide), and they’re often lightweight and simple to use.
Most smaller vibrators have a more limited number of settings and are straightforward to use, making them a good option for beginners, too.
And just because they’re small, it doesn't mean they’re all that different from their full-sized counterparts. Use them in the same way you would a larger piece of kit: with plenty of water-based lube, and using the toy to warm up your external erogenous zones like your nipples, inner thighs, and lower back, before dragging down to your vulva.
One thing to bear in mind is that the reduced surface area means small sex toys can offer precise stimulation and fit into tight spots — meaning they’re often an ideal addition to partnered sex (no more cock blocking à la original magic wand vibrator!).
The only downside is that some aren’t safe to use internally as they could get, well... lost.
How we choose the best small sex toys
With a team of sex writers sitting on standby, we set them to work. Each of our three testers — who, FYI, all have vulvas but occupy various positions on the sexuality, gender identity, and age spectrums — have tried out a whole host of toys from clit suckers, wands, rabbits, and pebbles, so they chose our their favourite small ones.
After an intense examination of the toy itself, its box and the (if any) included extras, they got down to, um, business. Pairing each plaything with water-based lube, all our volunteers aimed for an orgasm, testing every pattern and feature en route.
Our crack team is also clued up on all the best materials and features, so any products we haven’t yet had the chance to test are recommended based on our expert knowledge.
