The first question our reviewers considered when testing each vibrator was what type of physical contact typically turns them on and how well a given toy could replicate that feeling. “How do you orgasm? For a lot of people, that’s going to be direct clitoral stimulation,” says Richmond. Testers who preferred clitoral stimulation and/or were still figuring out what they liked started with some kind of clitoral vibrator that stimulates the vulva externally, Mintz recommends. Reviewers who said they usually had their best orgasms when something (or someone) was penetrating them tested insertable G-spot vibrators instead. And those who love simultaneous external and internal stimulation—specifically, the feeling of being penetrated while having their clitoris touched—tested dual-stimulation toys, like rabbit vibrators.

Types of Vibrators

Bullet Vibrator

These small, cylindrical toys offer external clitoral stimulation that feels buzzy. They’re a great travel-friendly option because they’re so compact and discreet. And because they’re so small, bullet vibrators work great for partnered play, too, sex therapist Carol Queen, PhD, previously told Women’s Health.

Wand Vibrator

Wands are on the larger side, but powerful. These handheld vibrators generate rumbly sensations that can be applied to the clitoris, or any other external erogenous zone, says Richmond.

Suction Vibrator

This is another clitoral toy. But rather than providing buzzy or rumbly vibrations, suction vibrators stimulate the clit via gentle air pulsations, mimicking the feeling of oral sex.

G-Spot Vibrator

A G-spot vibrator is exactly what it sounds like: an insertable toy curved to hit your G-spot, or the orgasmic hot-spot located a few inches against the vaginal wall.

Rabbit Vibrator

Rabbits have two arms that provide external, clitoral stimulation and internal, G-spot stimulation at once. The clitoral arm sometimes resembles a bullet; other times, it features two vibrating nubs that look like bunny ears.

Dual-Stimulation Vibrator

A dual-stimulation vibrator is any toy that delivers sensations to the clit and the G-spot at once. Rabbits can fall into this category—but so can toys that offer a different kind of clitoral stimulation, like air pulsations.

Sensations

Once our testers determined their preferred type of stimulation, they got even more specific when assessing the type of sensations each toy offered. Many people get off from clitoral contact—but do they prefer the rumbly vibrations typical of a wand, or the buzzy feeling of a bullet? Or those who love the feeling of receiving oral sex might opt for a clitoral suction vibrator, says Richmond.

Also, our testers considered how pinpointed and precise they like their clitoral stimulation to be. “Do you like it very direct, just on your clitoris, in which case you might want a smaller or a suction-based vibrator that’s targeted to the clitoris?” says Richmond. “Or do you get more stimulated from coverage over your vulva, in which case you might want something a little bigger?”

Our reviewers who tested G-spot and/or rabbit vibrators also took into account the width and length of the penetrative arm. When shopping for an internal sex toy, you can always consider your own experiences with penetration from prior partners’ penises, dildos, or even fingers, says Laino. How much penetration typically feels good? Those who are unsure should try a smaller G-spot toy rather than a girthier one, says Laino.

Safe Materials

Our reviewers only tested vibrators made of body-safe materials, including medical-grade silicone, borosilicate glass, stainless steel, Pyrex, and ABS plastic (for noninsertable parts). “Some materials are much safer for our bodies than others,” says Mintz. “High-quality, medical-grade silicone is not porous, whereas with some toys, you’ve got to be more careful.” Vibrators made from porous materials (like soft rubber) could harbor germs and bacteria, which could lead to painful infections, even if a toy is cleaned regularly.

Battery Life

Many rechargeable vibrators have a battery life of at least one hour, although some toys (like the Womanizer Premium 2) can last up to four hours without a charge. While trying each product, our testers discerned how long the toy could hold a charge, how long it took to charge, and the likelihood of its battery dying mid-masturbation session.

Discretion

Relatively quiet vibrators are a must for people with roommates, kids, and/or thin walls. While testing, we prioritized discreet vibrators over loud ones; many reviewers compared a vibrator’s noise level to others they tested, or have tried in the past. On a related note, many of our testers also preferred vibrators that were easy to stow away or pack for travel, as opposed to bulkier products that took up more space.

Waterproof

Not every product is labeled as a waterproof or splash-proof toy, but many are. Our reviewers put these vibrators to the test in the shower and bath, in order to identify which ones actually hold up in water.

Settings

Our team tested vibrators with just three or four speeds and settings, as well as vibrators with unlimited settings. Ultimately, our testers found that the quality of the settings mattered more than the quantity of options—but in some cases, reviewers found that even the strongest speeds weren’t sufficient.

Ease

Some vibrators can be complicated, so our testers answered a multitude of questions about how straightforward each product was. Was the toy easy to hold and intuitive to use? Were the buttons accessible? Was it seamless to incorporate this vibrator into partnered sex? Was anything about it confusing or uncomfortable? Only the toys that received positive responses earned spots on our list.

Satisfaction

Finally, our testers answered the most important question: Did this product feel good, and will they use it again? It’s safe to say that all of the vibrators on this list passed the Women’s Health vibe check (pun intended).

How We Chose The Best Vibrators

Over the past seven months, Women’s Health editors, including love and life editor Lydia Wang and lifestyle director Lindsay Geller, have been researching the bestselling, most popular vibrators for women based on thousands of product reviews and sex therapist recommendations. After identifying the best products of every type and for every budget, our team gathered more than 60 product samples from top-quality brands such as Lelo, We-Vibe, Dame, Magic Wand, Womanizer, and more.

We then tapped 14 Women’s Health editors and professional sex toy reviewers to test out toys from their favorite categories and share their thoughts on which products were the best. Our testers tried the products alone, with partners, and in the shower/bath (if the toy was waterproof) in order to identify the best vibrators for different purposes.

After reading through 52 reviews of our testers’ favorite vibrators, we identified the best product in each category, along with seven runners-up for users with specific preferences, needs, and budgets. Our final products were then vetted by sex therapist and psychotherapist Rachel Wright, LMFT.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep my vibrator clean?

“With any vibrator you’re using, you’re going to want to make sure you’re cleaning it after every session,” Richmond explains. A dirty vibrator can hold bacteria and germs—which, needless to say, can seriously kill the mood.

If you don’t have a sex toy-specific cleanser on hand, you can always use mild soap and warm water to clean your products, says Mintz. Some toys are even dishwasher-safe. But she recommends investing in an ultra-gentle cleanser that’s designed for sex toys. Plus, she notes, they’re easy to use: “You spray them on, leave them to sit, and then wipe them off.” Just make sure your toy is fully dry before you put it away.

Finally, if you have a collection of products, store them separately, Mintz warns. If you forget to clean one vibrator and then toss it in a bag with several other sex toys, the germs and bacteria can spread to your other products.

Where should I buy a vibrator?

Sex-positive, sex toy-specific online stores such as Babeland and Good Vibrations are always great places to start, says Mintz. “I would recommend going to a reputable sex shop that has customer reviews,” she suggests.

Depending on where you live, you might also opt to shop for a product in person, says Laino. “It can be a really fun experience to go to a sex store and look at toys,” she explains, adding that it can also be a great bonding activity with a group of friends or a partner.

Are vibrators worth the cost?

High-quality vibrators can be expensive—often, over $100—but there’s a reason you’re shelling out the big bucks. “In general, I would say splurge for a pricier vibrator,” Richmond explains. “Quality control can make a really big difference, and spending a little bit more money is probably going to mean your vibrator will last longer, and have more functional capabilities.”

Generally speaking, expensive products are usually made from better, more body-safe materials. They also have more special features that will seriously enhance your playtime. “With something cheap, the material might be porous, and it might have only one speed or two,” says Richmond. “Something more expensive will be less porous, maybe waterproof, and have more functionality with speeds, Bluetooth connections, things like that.”

Ultimately, “a good-quality vibrator from a good-quality company is a good investment,” says Mintz. That said, it’s okay to try a few mid-priced toys of different categories before splurging on your new go-to luxury product, she adds.

How do I use a vibrator?

To be clear, there’s no one way to use a vibrator. You don’t even have to use it on your genitals, says Laino. But here are a few ways you can make the most of your playtime, according to experts.

1. Set the scene.

Ahead of partnered sex, you might establish the mood: Light some candles, dim the lights, turn on a sultry playlist. Why not do this before solo play too? “First, find a place and time to relax,” says Laino. “And think about things that are sexy to you.” Your brain is your biggest sex organ, so feeling at ease and worry-free will help you have the best possible time with your new toy, she says.

2. Have lube handy.

“Sometimes, just putting a vibrator on your clitoris can be uncomfortable,” Laino says. Using a bit of lubricant can help make the experience more, well, smooth. Just be sure to use a water-based product, as silicone lube can cause microtears in silicone-based toys. You’ll also want to avoid any lube that contains irritants like glycerin, petrochemicals, nonoxynol-9, and preservatives.

3. Explore your erogenous zones.

When using a vibrator, many people head straight to their genitals, says Laino. And while there’s nothing wrong with that, she recommends exploring your body (or your partner’s!) with the toy. “Remember that sexual pleasure can be felt all over the body,” says Laino. A few places to try: your nipples, belly, even the backs of your knees.

4. Figure out what feels good.

Some people might want to hold their toy directly against their clit, but for other users, that sensation could be too intense. If you’re sensitive, you can use your vibrator over your underwear, or even place a washcloth or bedsheet between your body and the toy to dull the feeling, says Laino.

Want more intensity? Try pressing your vibrator to the upper-left quadrant of your clitoris. It’s “a tiny little millimeter of an area,” but it’s the most sensitive part of the clit, notes Richmond. (The more you know!)

Once you’ve found just the right spot, start off with one of the toy’s lower speeds, then go higher, suggests Laino. “A lot of times, people will say, ‘Masturbating feels really good, but then I don’t know what to do,’” she notes. “At that point, if it feels really good, turn the speed up. And rock your pelvis area—move your pelvic region so you’re in rhythm with the toy, which can help you have an orgasm.”

5. Bring your vibe into the shower.

Not every toy is waterproof, but if yours is, bring it into the bath or shower. Some people find the sensation of water on their skin erotic, says Laino, which can heighten your masturbation session.

On the flip side, water can also dull the intensity of a toy’s vibrations. “One of the reasons many people don’t like to have sex or use a vibrator in water is because it’s harder to feel things—but for somebody who is very sensitive, it could actually work to their benefit,” Laino adds. It’s all about your personal preferences.

6. Incorporate your toy into partnered sex.

While some toys are specifically designed to be used during partnered sex (hello, hands-free vibrators!), it’s important to remember that any vibrator can be a couples’ vibrator, says Mintz. And no partner should feel threatened by your desire to use a vibrator during sex.

If you’re initiating a conversation about bringing a toy into partnered sex, Laino recommends broaching the topic with a curious—or even flirtatious—tone. You might say: “Hey, I think using a vibrator during sex would be really fun for us. What do you think?”

You can use your toy on your partner, too—even if they have a penis. Try gently teasing their shaft or nipples with your vibe, Laino suggests.

“With any vibrator you’re using, you’re going to want to make sure you’re cleaning it after every session,” Richmond explains. A dirty vibrator can hold bacteria and germs—which, needless to say, can seriously kill the mood.
