The wider end of the toy provides more “focused” tapping

National Masturbation Month: The history of the vibrator

It’s almost enough to make you think that older people have lost their interest in sex, which is a generalization that’s simply not true. Regardless of my experience, I applaud SnailVibe for creating an innovative toy with the trimmings — like multiple motors and the case. The vibrator is 9.4 inches long in total (a bit shorter than an average forearm), and has an insertable length of 1.4 to 5.5 inches, the latter of which is about the average penis size. Increase the intensity by pressing the + button, and switch up the kind of vibration by pressing the S button.

When it comes to discreet vibrators, it also fits the bill with its compact design and sensonic technology, which mimics the act of oral sex with its 12 settings. Unlike a lot of other toys, this one has two independent motors in its respective ends that feature 10 unique speeds and rhythms. The wider end of the toy provides more “focused” tapping sensations, and the more tapered end pleases you with all the ‘good vibes’ you can handle. If you’re looking for discreet male sex toys, this is definitely the best it can get.

And the fun doesn’t have to stop in the shower or bathtub because the Little Secret has a waterproof (IPX7) finish. The premium silicone design, waterproof functionality, USB rechargeability, and 5-year warranty make it a more justifiable investment for those seeking the best in clitoral stimulation. As its name suggests, bullet vibrators are handheld vibrators typically shaped like bullets (and often roughly the same size). Similar to the egg vibrator, bullet vibrators offer pinpointed external stimulation to your erogenous zones, and some models are designed to stimulate the G-spot as well. That’s why we scoured online reviews, consulted with sex therapists and talked to real couples to figure out the best sex toys for long-distance relationships.

That can feel great—but some people prefer more targeted stimulation, which is where other smaller massagers come into play, Dr. Litner says. Compact toys can also be easier to hold and control (although using a toy mount or sex pillow can help), may be better for some positions with a partner, and are a great choice for travel too. Although it’s called a cock ring, this sleek little product is a couples’ favorite because it does double-duty as a vibrator and can also stimulate the perineum, making it ideal for a twosome. “The constricted blood flow to the penis and the simultaneous clitoral stimulation during penetration can help both partners reach a prolonged and super intense orgasm,” Starkman says.

Whether you prefer a gentle hum or a more intense pulsation, you can tailor the experience to your liking. Control the speed and strength of the vibrations to find the perfect level of intensity for your needs. Richards recommends this classic toy, which he considers “the gold standard of vibrators vibrators ,” for anyone who wants to introduce strong sensations into their sex life, regardless of their gender or anatomy. “If you find [it] a bit intense, using it over underwear is a way to enjoy the buzzing sensation on clits and cocks without excessive direct stimulation,” he suggests.
