19 Best Vibrators of 2025 for Next-Level Pleasure
If you’ve ever masturbated or had sex, think about what really gets you going. “For anyone who enjoys backdoor play, it’s hard to beat glass butt plugs,” Trip Richards, a sex educator and porn performer, says. The looped handle on this one makes it much easier to insert and remove, even with lubed fingers, and the plug itself is shaped perfectly to nestle into the prostate. The battery lasts for a long time, and it seems to charge pretty fast.
Cleaning is especially important when you have used your vibrator with a partner, or when it may have touched your anus. It’s also important to read the directions of the vibrator before using it. Don’t insert vibrators anally if the vibrator is not meant for anal insertion. Vibrators may also be helpful for people who have low libido (“sex drive”), anorgasmia (a condition where a person cannot reach orgasm), motor or sensory disabilities, or conditions that prevent vaginal penetration.
I also asked some experts about their favorite grinders and how they like to use them. “[Grinding toys are] perfect if you’re playing solo and want to keep things hands-free,” Madison says. Strap-on sex often benefits from the addition of a grinder, too, especially the kind that fits behind the dildo base in a harness to provide some extra stimulation and cushioning. Anyone of any gender or sexuality can use suction toys, but this one is a standout for LGBTQ+ couples in particular—or cis-het couples interested in anal play and pegging.
In fact, these handy little sex toys are becoming increasingly popular among couples and men alike. Believe it or not, you can still get busy with your partner even when they’re 1,000s of miles away. Thanks to the wonders of technology and the sex toy industry, there are now a number of wireless remote sex toys that can be controlled via Bluetooth connection. With its flexible vibrating arm and rotating head for G-spot stimulation, you’ll be able to achieve orgasmic bliss like never before.
And it achieved a higher score from our panel of testers this time round, so it’s clear the upgrade has paid off. Thanks to its warming effect, this toy left our panel feeling hot – in all the right ways. Able to heat up or cool down, from the inside out, it’s perfect for those who enjoy temperature play. If you’re using a vibrator for the first time, start by placing it on your clitoris with light pressure. It’s important to make sure that the lube is compatible with your toy. Some vibrators plug into the wall, while others are battery-operated.
It sits somewhere between a bullet vibrator and a standard-sized vibrator, making it discreet and easy to carry. “Vibrators can be great as they can add extra stimulation to wherever feels good for you, whether it’s the clitoris, in the vagina , or other erogenous zones,” Dr. Lincoln explains. “The ability to take your orgasms into your own hands (and that of your vibrator) is a fantastic way to take charge of your sex life and your pleasure.”
I feel silly even confessing to being daunted by the user interface of a strawberry emoji-themed vibrator, but that’s what happened! The instructions indicate that you have to use the power button and the smaller, vibrations button to create the variation in vibration and suction you prefer. Pressing the power button turns on suction, while pressing the other button below it turns on the vibrations.
It wouldn’t qualify for a spot on this list without a powerful clit sucker viberators, but this toy goes above and beyond. The flexible silicone shaft sends rumbly goodness to the G-spot (choose from 10 vibration settings) and it also has a licking tongue stimulator to mimic oral sex. The Tango X is an all-time favorite bullet, due to its multiple speeds and settings, super-powerful and rumbly vibrations, convenient finger grip, and surprisingly low noise output. For an under-$100 vibrator, We-Vibe’s feels like it’s packed with everything.

This toy slips over the base of a dildo to provide a little extra padding and stimulation for the person wearing the harness during strap-on sex.
