In celebration of the International Day of the Female Orgasm on Aug. 8, we’re highlighting some of the best vibrators of 2020. There’s really never been an easier or better time to shop for a vibrator. There are more types than ever before, so you can find the best vibrator to stimulate every preference and budget.
Sex toys — and particularly vibrators — have gone from taboo to mainstream over the last few years. You can buy them at Urban Outfitters, Amazon and Walmart. They’ve become a prominent part of pop culture (who could forget the Rabbit from Sex in the City?). Data from 2017 claims that of people who identify as women who own sex toys in the US, more than 70% of those toys are vibrators.

These products have come a long way from the brightly colored, animal-themed models that made waves in the ’80s and ’90s. Now you can buy everything from a simple vibrator with just one setting, all the way up to more advanced devices that use micro-robotics to mimic human movements.
Whether you’ve never owned a vibrator before or want to add to your collection, we’ve rounded up some of the top models you can purchase today.
A quick primer on vibrators
“If you look at the categories of vibrators, you can kind of pare down everything into wands, ‘twice as nice’ and bullets,” says Coyote Amrich, director of purchasing and product development for Good Vibrations and Babeland.
Bullet and wand vibrators do the same thing — stimulate external parts of your body, such as the clitoris. While bullet has been used to describe small, bullet-shaped vibrators, Amrich uses that label more broadly to categorize vibrators that are not specifically designed to be inserted into the body and focus on clitoral stimulation. You can find bullets in countless designs, from a lemon to a tube of lipstick and everything in between.
Wand vibrators have a handle with a rounded top that vibrates, and they’re available in many different sizes. Twice as nice vibrators are designed to be inserted into the body to stimulate the clitoris and G-spot. That Rabbit vibrator that took the world by storm is a “twice as nice.”
As vibrators have become more mainstream, the types of products out there have expanded. For example, in the last few years, so-called air suction devices have seen a surge of popularity, starting with the launch of the Womanizer (yes, I cringe at that sex toy name too) a few years back. Because of their popularity, there are a few air suction devices on this list too.
The perfect basic, beginner vibrator
PlusOne Vibrating Bullet
PlusOne Looking for a basic vibrator, or an entry-level device? Buy this. The PlusOne Vibrating Bullet is made of body-safe silicone, it’s rechargeable, waterproof and only costs $10 — which is far less expensive than many battery-operated plastic models you can find. It has 10 vibration settings and more than 1,000 five-star reviews, so it’s a safe bet.
If you’re looking for the best of the best bullet vibes, the We-Vibe Tango is considered by many to be it. This $80 bullet vibrator gets praise for delivering strong, rumbly vibrations that you typically don’t get from something so small — Cosmopolitan’s review describes it as smaller than a tube of mascara.
$10 at Walmart Bullet vibrator upgrade
Je Joue G-Spot Bullet Vibrator
Je Joue If and when you’re ready to upgrade from a bullet vibrator to something bigger and insertable, try the Je Joue G-Spot Bullet Vibrator. Yes, I know Je Joue calls it a bullet, but it’s bigger and more versatile than its name suggests. It has a bulbous tip designed to stimulate the G-spot, but it can also be used for external simulation.
With five speed settings and seven vibration patterns, it’ll work for most people’s stimulation preferences. The soft-touch silicone and jewel-toned color makes it look far more sophisticated than many inexpensive plastic vibrators out there.
$65 at Lovehoney The wand that started it all
The Original Magic Wand
Vibratex When you talk about vibrators, there’s no name more well known than the Magic Wand. It’s been around for decades and is still one of the best-selling vibrators on the market. In fact, it’s the top-selling vibrator for both Good Vibrations and online adult store Lovehoney.
“The Magic Wand is still our No. 1 seller. We carry other wands, but it’s still the best. It has a reputation like no other,” says Amrich. The $65 model has a classic design that must be plugged in while in use, while the newer, rechargeable model is $150.
Be warned that this vibrator has a reputation of being very powerful, so it probably shouldn’t be the first vibrator that you buy.
If you’d prefer a more compact wand, or one that’s battery operated, try the Vibratex Mystic Wand Vibrator ($80). It’s made by the same company as the Magic Wand, but this model is much smaller and easier to travel with.
$65 at Good Vibrations Wireless, waterproof wand vibrator
Satisfyer Wand-er Woman
Satisfyer Neither of the above wand vibrators above are fully waterproof, so if you’re looking for that particular feature, try the Satisfyer Wand-er Woman. It’s waterproof (IPX7), comes with five vibration intensities and 10 different patterns and has an extra-long design to help you reach basically anywhere, which is helpful for people with larger bodies or limited mobility.
$50 at Satisfyer Premium rabbit-style vibrator
Lelo Ina Wave
Lelo This two-in-one vibrator has a far more modern design than the original Rabbit vibrator. It’s more advanced too. It uses “WaveMotion technology” that allows the larger arm of the Ina Wave to curl in the same way human fingers making a “come hither” gesture do. That kind of motion stimulates the G-spot, while the external arm stimulates the clitoris.
Another highly praised rabbit-style vibrator is the We Vibe Nova ($150), which features a flexible arm that moves with you and has 10 vibration settings.
$169 at Lelo Budget-friendly twice as nice
Unbound Bender
Unbound Bender is the opposite of a rabbit vibrator — it’s smaller, more minimalist and bendable — but it’s designed to work just like one. You can bend it to fit your body, a huge plus if you feel like most vibrators don’t work with your anatomy. Because it’s so compact, you can use it with a partner too. It has 10 vibration speeds and patterns and is made from body-safe silicone.
$69 at Urban Outfitters The ultimate air suction device
Womanizer Premium
Womanizer The Womanizer was the first air suction toy of its kind and it completely transformed the sex toy industry. It uses pulses of air and gentle vibrations on and around the clitoris to simulate the feeling of oral sex, and because of that, it’s become hugely popular in the last few years.
The Womanizer Premium is fully waterproof, offers 12 intensity levels to fit most anyone’s needs and has an autopilot feature that controls the pulses of air and vibrations for you. “It’s really a great option because it has Smart Silence, so when it’s touching your body, it turns on and then when you pull it away from your body, it turns off,” says Amrich.
$199 at Ella Paradis Budget-conscious air suction
Satisfyer Pro 2
Satisfyer I totally get that $200 is a lot for a sex toy you might not like until you try it. That’s where Satysfier comes in. Its Pro 2 model offers a similar sensation as the Womanizer, but for much less. It also has a whisper-quiet motor and is waterproof. You don’t get all of the same features as you would with the Womanizer Premium (like the autopilot or Smart Silence features), but at that price, I wouldn’t expect them.
$50 at Satisfyer Splurge-worthy and innovative vibrators
These vibrators are at the high end of the sex-toy price range, but they’re worth including for their unique, innovative features.
Uses data for better orgasms
Lioness Vibrator
Lioness The Lioness Vibrator uses built-in sensors to see how your body responds to it, and offers insight on what kind of stimulation works best for you via a companion app. If you struggle to have an orgasm, or want more data on the ones you have, this is your best bet. Of course, you’ll have to be OK with using a vibrator that collects anonymous data about you.
$229 at Lioness Microrobotics that mimic human touch
Lora DiCarlo Osé
Lora DiCarlo Calling the Osé a vibrator isn’t quite right because it uses microrobotics to mimic human movements, such as licking, sucking and stroking. If you have the cash to spare and want what is essentially the Rolls-Royce of vibrators, you can’t go wrong with this.
$290 at Lora DiCarlo How I chose these products
To pick products for this list, I started with data on the best-selling vibrators from some of the biggest online adult stores, including Good Vibrations, Babeland and Lovehoney. I consulted with experts in the field about the current product landscape and mom xxx mp4 picked brands that have a reputation for creating high-quality products. I also scoured sites that review sex toys for recommendations.
I only chose vibrators made out of body-safe, nonporous materials: 100% silicone (not silicone blends) and hard plastic. According to Planned Parenthood, sex toy products made from silicone blends, jelly rubber, PVC, vinyl, TPR, TPE, elastomer or other rubbery plastics can absorb germs that can lead to infections, even if you wash them diligently.
Look out for knock-offs
While shopping for vibrators online — especially on Amazon and eBay — you’ll see a ton of knock-offs. By that I mean products that look like the ones listed here, and may even have similar names, but are less expensive than the name-brand ones. Buying one of these cheaper vibrators isn’t like buying cheap knock-off Apple AirPods. If you beloved this article so you would like to acquire more info relating to cute xxx generously visit our own page. Cheap headphones might have so-so sound quality, or might break down after six months, but they won’t harm you. But because you use a vibrator on sensitive parts of your body, using one made out of unsafe materials can cause serious health issues.
There are two things to watch out for: a suspiciously low price, and missing information on what it’s made of. If you find a vibrator that looks just like an expensive vibrator with a much lower price tag, or one that doesn’t specifically call out what materials it’s made of, steer clear.
