The benefits of using sex toys
A quick PSA for those who need reminding: masturbation is normal, has a range of mental and physical benefits, plus is a hell of a lot of fun.
1. Let's get physical
Yep, orgasms send oxytocin (read: the natural love potion) and dopamine (the feel-good hormone) surging through your veins. From a physical wellbeing standpoint, these hormones can help improve your focus and sleep, boost your immune system, and even benefit your heart health. Well, it is all about blood flow…
2. Orgasms... need we say more?
Funnily enough, sex toys can help with that. “Sex toys are a really amazing way to experience orgasm,” explains Gigi Engle, a certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and resident intimacy expert at dating app, 3Fun.
“Because so many vulva owners require clitoral stimulation to experience orgasm, they offer a great way to get this type of stimulation.”
3. Self-exploration
But, regular self-pleasure sessions are also a great way to explore what you do and (some would say more importantly) don’t like in the bedroom. “Sex toys also help you connect better with your body and pleasure,” Engle adds. “They are a fantastic way to learn more about yourself.”
Beyond orgasms on-demand, sex toys can be an accessible entry-point to figuring out what works for you. A sidekick in exploration, if you will.
Toys can help you find your most gratifying pleasure zones and identify what type of stimulation works for you. (Internal? External? A little bit of both?) They can also be helpful tools to bond you and your partner when used during sex — a boost to get you both/all exactly where you want to go and a win-win if there ever was one.
Types of sex toys
If you’re a complete sex toy newbie, and don’t even know where to start when it comes to the plethora of sex toys available to buy, here’s a quick description of each of the main types of vibrators, rings, and dildos out there.
Clit vibrators
Most external sex toys for people with vulvas (such as suction vibrators, finger vibrators, pebble vibrators, and magic wand vibrators) are categorised as a clit vibrator. These can come in a ton of different shapes, but their main purpose is stimulating the 10,000 nerves in your C-spot.
Bullet vibrators
Sometimes debased to the basic b*tch of sex toys, bullet vibrators are actually one of the most versatile toys on the market — which makes them great for beginners.
Deceptively small in size, these (you guessed it) bullet-shaped vibrators pack a powerful punch, and can be either used by themselves, or attached to a dildo, cock ring, or strap-on for an added buzz. They’re also easy AF to use, so if this is the start of your sex toy quest they’re a safe bet and — we think — an essential in your collection.
Dildos
If school taught us anything, it’s that it’s a natural human instinct to make things, or draw, the shape of a penis. These phallic-shaped toys come in a smorgasbord of varieties: smooth, curved, realistic, ridged, and fantasy — and are usually made with either silicone, borosilicate (lab-grade) glass, or stainless steel.
You can also choose between longer dildos and smaller ones — as well as girthy and slimline — and ones that have been designed specifically for G-spot or anal stimulation, depending on your preference. Some can even be attached to a strap-on harness.
G-spot vibrators
Essentially a vibrating version of a dildo, these toys are designed specifically to hit your G-spot. Yup, that’s right — that means the renowned pleasure point is in fact not a myth, but an area between your urethral sponge and cervix.
You can find this magical spot around two to three inches inside your vagina, on the side closest to your belly button, and stimulate it either with your fingers or a toy. Some G-spot vibrators come with an added C-spot attachment — for blended orgasms — while others are a more simple phallic shape.
Rabbit vibrators
Blending (we think) the best of G-spot and clitoral vibrators, rabbit vibrators target two erogenous zones at once via one internal and one external ‘wand.’
So named because the original style featured a clit stimulator that looked like rabbit ears, these dual motor delights now come in a range of styles and with a ton of features like thrusting, rotating, thumping, and warming/cooling technology.
Couples' sex toys
While any sex toy can *technically* be used with a loved one with varying levels of creativity, the sex tech wizards have concocted up a ton of shapes that seamlessly slip into partnered sex.
Cock rings, strap-ons, finger vibrators, and remote-control sex toys can all be classed as couples' sex toys, with some high-tech additions even including long-distance sex toys that can be controlled from all over the world.
There are also wearable C-shape vibrators, like the We-Vibe Sync Lite, that can be worn by vulva wearers for an extra clitoral stimulation boost during penetration.
Anal sex toys
Of course, a good old fashioned dildo can always be stuck up the anus (as long as it has a flared base!) but there are a ton of anal sex toy options that provide different types of stimulation.
And, FYI, if you’re a beginner to anal play, you should start with something smaller, like an anal bead or butt plug. But should you or your partner have a prostate, there are also vibrating massagers to pop up there.
What to consider when buying a sex toy
At this point, we’ve thrown a lot of information at you and you might be thinking *sigh* ‘Well, I’m not sure if a rabbit would be for me…’ If you're confused about whether to go for an internal or external, buzzy or pulsing, or waterproof toy, here's everything to keep in mind when figuring out what sex toy will be best for you.
1. Stimulation type
Deciding what kind of sex toy is best for you will involve figuring out what kind of stimulation you like the most, and looking for toys to replicate that, Engle notes.
“Do you enjoy internal pleasure? Clit pleasure? Both?” she asks. “These are things to know so you're better equipped to buy a toy that will give you the kinds of pleasure that work for you.”
2. Material
To keep the good vibes going (literally), Engle also recommends buying toys made from high-quality materials. “Consider the materials,” she advises.
“You want to buy high-quality sex toys that are made from body-safe or medical-grade silicone (assuming you're looking for a vibrator), ones that are USB rechargeable, and are waterproof. They are an investment, but higher quality products can last you for many years so they are worth it.”
3. Specifications
Generally speaking, a heavier counterweight = a deeper vibration. But that doesn’t mean every toy with a powerful AF motor is going to be amazing.
Toys also need to be balanced, so the vibration energy goes where it needs to go (like the contact area) and not anywhere else (like the handle, which would make your arm super tired). And sometimes, a lighter toy is preferable if you’re looking for something you can take on the go.
Likewise, you’ll want to consider the maximum noise level and the vibration power of a toy. The most powerful sex toys are usually the noisiest, so if you have roommates, then you’ll want to keep this in mind. Noise level is measured in decibels (dBs) while vibration power is typically measured in revolutions per minute (RPMs), and though not every vibrator will have this information readily accessible, both stats are good to know, whether you prioritise intensity over discretion or vice versa.
For the record, sex toys that operate below 50 decibels are considered quiet.
How we test the best 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 — were given various C- and G-spot teasers.
After an intense examination of the toy itself, its box, and the included extras (if any), 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. They considered things such as the material, battery length, number of vibration modes, whether the toy was waterproof, and ergonomics. Thus the best toys have been rounded up, just for you!
24 best sex toys for women and people with vulvas
Pros
- Elliptical motion is *so* unique
- Offers intense clitoral stim without leaving you numb
Cons
- Skews pricey if you're on a budget
- May feel a bit too intense for more sensitive folks
This might look like the latest alien accessory, but we can confirm the LELO DOT is just an out-of-this-world plaything. That’s due to the elliptical-style vibrations (like a figure of eight) and pinpoint shape that makes precision the aim of the game.
With eight pulsing patterns to push you into orgasmic orbit, plus extra-soft silicone to make sure you can go for multiple rounds, we expect your moans will travel all the way to space.
But our favourite feature: the loop design that makes it easy to hold, no matter what position you’re in. What better excuse to browse the Kama Sutra...
Do you need a tad more convincing? One shopper shared: “I had one of the strongest orgasms in less than five minutes.” Jel.

- Five inch insertable wand grows by 1-2 inches during thrusting
Cons
- On the louder side (your moans will cover it though, promise)
Sometimes a sex toy is *so* good you have to tell everyone you know about it. The Rose had its viral moment after satisfied soloists raved about it on TikTok, but our sex writer thinks this rabbit deserves its moment in the sun.
Although it’s blessed with a wide, tongue-shaped clit stimulator (covering more surface area and fitting a broader range of body types) the real star of the show is its thrusting G-spot wand.
Set with five speeds, the five inches of smooth AF silicone — when combined with C-spot stimulation and the rotating beads at its base — catapult you quickly towards orgasm. And you’ll want to go again, and again…
Features at a Glance
| Type | Thrusting rabbit vibrator |
|---|---|
| Features | 5 thrusting, rotating and vibration speeds |
| In the box | Rabbit vibrator, charging cable, and instructions manual |

Pros

- Charges to full in as little as 1.5 hours
Cons

Are you looking for a backstage pass to intense pleasure? Smile Makers Collection’s newest release — aptly nicknamed ‘your friendly anal vibrator’ — is this pretty-in-purple butt plug, designed to send sweet everythings straight to your A- (or their P-) spot.
Because, did you know that your clitoris (like an iceberg and hidden mostly beneath the surface) actually extends all the way to your backdoor?
Fitted with three speeds, two pulsation modes, and a flared base to make sure your perineum is in on the fun too, there’s little else you could want in a vibrating butt buddy — or frankly, need.
Oh, and it’s USB rechargeable, so you can take it anywhere.

Lovehoney Classic Wand 2.0 Extra Powerful Multispeed Massage Vibrator
Pros
- Fitted with a flexible neck so it can cave into all your contours
- One review raved, “Fastest toy to ever get me off… legs left trembling,” and that’s why it made it onto our best ever list
Cons
- On the louder side, unforch
If the spenny price tag on the LELO wand puts you off, may we recommend this extra-powerful, mains-powered offering from Lovehoney?
Now don’t be instantly turned off by the fact you’ll have to plug this into the wall as, after all, a vibrator’s effectiveness lies in the power of its motor — and boy is this one a hit(ter).
Simply plug it in, load it up with lube, and head south. Or north, as this doubles up as a massage gun and knocks out neck kinks rather well. It also comes with a simple two button control panel, making it easy to ramp up the pressure with one hand.
Features at a Glance
| Type | Magic wand massager |
|---|---|
| Features | 12 vibration speeds |
| In the box | Multicoloured metallic wand |
| Material | Hard plastic |
| Size | 13 inches |
| Power | Mains-powered |
| Run time | As long as you can last x |
| Waterproof | Stick to dry land — and near a socket |
Pros
- Ideal if you're on a budget
- Not just regular anal beads... they’re cool anal beads
Cons
- Bigger bead at the start is best suited for experienced anal players
When it comes to anal beads, what you see is what you get. So sleek and innovative design can make the difference between an out of body experience and getting you down and out.
No one needs any more unnecessary complication in their lives, so Lovehoney’s BASICS range does all the heavy lifting for us. These anal beads are a great option for anal aficionados as they’re body-safe, latex free, and unlike regular anal beads, start with the largest bead descending to the smallest, making for intense orgasms as they’re sloooowly pulled out.
Beginners who are building up to girthier penetration can opt for the reverse option — and coming in at below £10 each it’s easy to do so without breaking the bank.
Features at a Glance
| Type | Anal beads |
|---|---|
| Features | Six anal beads in decreasing size order |
| In the box | Anal beads, that's it |
| Material | PVC |

| Waterproof | Absolutely |
Pros
- Hands-free, so great for solo or couple’s play
- G-spot and C-spot stimulation is a recipe for squirting success
Cons
- Battery only lasts for an hour
This dual-stimulating toy went *majorly* viral on TikTok — and according to testers, it one hundo (that’s 100%) lives up to the hype.
With this one, you can simultaneously experience clit-sucking action and deep internal stim for the blended orgasm of your dreams.
The 10 vibe modes and 10 suction settings can be controlled together or independently — or you can even remove the suction head to use each part separately if you find simultaneous internal and external stimulation a tad overwhelming.
But we'd really urge you to go for gold — the combo of both is pretty much unbeaten if you're on a squirting quest.
Features at a Glance

We-Vibe Tango X Lipstick Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator
Pros
- Battery lasts for a whopping 120 mins
- Shape makes for a range of sensations
- Has a travel lock to avoid awkies airport encounters
Cons
- Unforch not insertable as it is too teeny!
All you need from a bullet vibrator is a powerful motor, a portion that is somewhat easy to grip… and if it looks like a lipstick, even better.
Despite measuring up at just 3.5 inches, this buzzer is packed with eight punchy intensities for each of its seven vibration modes, and is somehow *still* whisper-quiet.
Tapered at one end to deliver precise stimulation to your C-spot (or any other erogenous zones you feel like teasing…) this bullet is ideal for getting the good vibes going during foreplay, or edging yourself or a partner every so sloooowly towards the big O.
Features at a Glance
| Type | Bullet vibrator |
|---|---|
| Features | 7 vibration modes and 8 intensity levels, and a travel lock |
| In the box | Vibrator, charger, and silk storage bag |
| Material | Hard plastic |
| Size | 3.5 inches |
| Power | Rechargeable |
| Run time | 120 minutes |
| Waterproof | You betcha |
Pros
- Who needs a partner's tongue when you have sex tech?
- We loveee that loop handle
Cons
- Battery doesn't last long
Built to move exactly like the human tongue, this clit vibrator is for oral fans. Yep, that rotating nub moves in an unpredictable manner, ultimately edging you straight to the finish (or starting) line.
Great if you’re attempting to recreate your long-distance lover’s best work (top tip: slathering water-based lube will get you dangerously close to the real thing).
It’s got that handy loop in the middle for a secure grip and comes with 12 vibration modes, with everything from soft strokes to core-shaking tremors. Now this one does only last up to 60 minutes per charge and is a little pricey, however we reckon it’s totally worth it.
Features at a Glance
| Type | Clit vibrator |
|---|---|
| Features | 12 vibration and rotating tongue modes |
| In the box | USB charging cable, satin storage pouch, warranty registration card, and a detailed instruction manual |

| Size | 3.2 inches |
| Power | Rechargeable |
| Run time | 1 hour |
| Waterproof | Duh |
Pros
- Longer vibrating nub than most cock rings
- Super stretchy to avoid cutting off any circulation in the shaft
Cons
- Could be too powerful for some
Despite their name, cock rings are not just for penile pleasure. To combat this misconception, Iroha has created its own take on the classic cock ring by adding an extra long vibrating nub to the end, to reach your C-spot with ease.
Slide the stretchy silicone ring over your partner’s penis or a dildo, then power up through the seven vibration modes to send vibes through their perineum and shaft, as well as your clitoris.
Not feeling like being penetrated today? That’s okay — you can also treat this lilac lover like a finger vibrator for stimulation that spans across your entire vulva. Neat!
Features at a Glance
| Type | Vibrating cock ring |

| Features | 5 vibration intensities and 2 patterns |
| In the box | Cock ring, storage pouch, instruction manual, charging cable |

| Run time | 60 minutes |
| Waterproof | Up to 50cm |
Pros
- Approachable enough for newbies
- Wide mouth can accommodate most bodies
Cons
- Def not the quietest option
- May be too gentle for some
An ideal pick for beginners, Aer uses pressure wave technology to mimic the flutter of a tongue and the suction of a mouth for a truly knee-buckling experience.
You can also easily target the area with five different speeds and five pulsing patterns, delivered via that O-shaped mouth for precise C-spot stimulation… so much so that one reviewer says it gave their partner an orgasm like a “hurricane.” Sign us up!
Hot tip: use a small amount of water-based lube on the toy's mouth to mimic the wetness you feel from an actual mouth (and to add some extra slickness!).

Pros
- Can be used solo or incorporated into partnered sex
- Flickering tongue adds a whole new sensation to fingering
Cons
- Battery isn't as long-lasting as other options
- Can be tricky to change modes in the heat of the moment
If you’re tired of your digits cramping out mid-manual sesh, but don’t feel like holding a clunky piece of sex tech, allow us to introduce the humble finger vibrator.
Made to slip right on your finger like a ring, this mini vibe is here to give ya the ✨magic touch.✨ Its large nub-covered paddle and flickering silicone tongue send 10 vibration modes (which include multiple speeds and patterns) across your clitoris — or nipples, if you’re feeling adventurous.
It’s also small enough to use during sex, as you or your doting partner can hold it against your sweet spot during penetration for a taste of dual stim.

| In the box | Vibrator, charging cable |

Pros
- Soft and stretchy silicone
- Basic and beginner-friendly
Cons
- Six inches may be too big for some
Like the bullet vibrator, dildos are an essential in your sex tech collection. Not only can they be used solo, but you can strap them up to a harness for hands-free partnered play, or experiment with anal penetration manually.
If you’re dabbling in dildos for the first time, look for a soft silicone one with no more than six inches. This one from So Divine comes in a pretty pink and purple ombré, and is slightly curved to hit your G-spot.
It has a strong suction cup (great for hands-free play) and it’s also super floppy and flexible, so you can ride it to your heart’s content. Yeehaw!
Looking to get creative with your solo play, or dabble in a hint of exhibitionism with your lover? May we suggest pairing this with Bondara’s Straddle Saddle, so you can mount your dildo on basically… anything?

Pros
- Customise your own vibration patterns on the Lovense app
- Play roulette and let strangers control your orgasm, or let your long distance lover take the reigns
Cons
- Pretty pricey
Being in a long-distance relationship can be hard — especially if your love language is physical touch. Thankfully we live in an era where sex tech has caught up with all our horny needs, and can help long-distance couples connect sexually through all but a few inches of silicone and an app.
Once covered in plenty of water-based lube, this vibrator can be slipped inside the vagina, while the other end rests against the C-spot.
Though it comes with seven built-in vibration modes, hooking the Lush 4 up to the app unlocks unlimited vibration patterns and so many ways to control it, we had to write a full review of the toy to make full sense of them all.
The best part? It can be controlled by anyone around the world, and connected with any other Lovense toy so you can get off from afar, together.
Features at a Glance
| Type | App-controlled G-spot vibrator |
