You can get more than just fruit-shaped vibrators from

The 10 best rabbit vibrators that experts raved to us about

In 200 AD vibrators, doctors prescribed female genital massage as a form of treatment for hysteria (ugh , don't get me started). But in what was one of the least surprising moves of all time, they complained that the method was "too labor intensive" and "messy" and put an end to it. The hand crank—the earliest constructed sex toy—came along in 1890, and it was followed by a number of similar inventions, like 1904's gas-powered "Pneumatic Detwiller" and 1920's porn-inspired "Polar Cub Electric."

On the website, the Cherry is listed as being waterproof with an IPX7 rating, meaning that you should be able to submerge the toy in about a meter of water for around 30 minutes. After struggling to insert the charger initially, and realizing that the entry point for it really wasn’t all that concealed, I ended up deciding not to test out submerging the toy. You can get more than just fruit-shaped vibrators from Emojibator—the brand sells multicolored bondage rope, anal plugs, lube, and more. This luxurious-looking vibrator earned top marks thanks to its sleek, modern design and noise control, with the majority of our panel finding it quiet in use.

It’s both a clitoral and internal stimulator and is a source of “pleasure for both partners,” according to one tester. Grinding mimics the “humping” motion that many people learn to masturbate with (say, against a pillow), as well as the thrusting motions that people with penises do during penetrative sex. Toys elevate the sensation of grinding by adding vibration, texture, or other stimulating features. The noisy, room-shaking sex toys of years past have graduated to sleek, high-quality, and near-silent designs that don't sacrifice power for discretion. From suction vibrators that are all about the clit, to precise G-spot vibrators, to backdoor action anal vibrators, there are a ton of whisper-quiet vibrators that get you there without waking up the whole house. Cue the Greek chorus, this is the ultimate trifecta of suction sex toys.

We spoke to sex experts and sex educators to answer the biggest questions about these sex toys and break down the very best panty vibes for your (uniquely private) pleasure. For far too long, sex toys missed the mark, especially when it came to people with vulvas. Studies have repeatedly shown that people with vulvas need clitoral stimulation to orgasm, but it wasn’t until 2014 that the first clitoral suction toy hit the market. These days many suction toys (also called clit suckers) have been designed by the people using them.

The Lelo Hugo remote control vibrator promises to give you longer, more intense climaxes. If you’re feeling frisky, you can even hand over control to your partner—thanks to the Ferri’s wireless range, they can make you quiver from up to 30 feet away. The SenseMotion™ technology responds to movements of the remote, so you can get your groove on without having to worry about fumbling with buttons. And if that wasn’t enough, the LYLA 2 has almost silent vibrations, so you can enjoy yourself without worrying about the neighbors.

You can set the vibration intensity yourself and adjust it as needed, or let the toy take the reins by turning it to "flirt mode," which makes the vibrations vary constantly to keep you on your toes. Anyone who likes sex toys has likely heard of Dame Products and its two already-released products. There's the Eva II, a hands-free vibrator that you can wear during sex, and the Fin, a small vibrator that's worn between the fingers.

“I really like the ones where the internal and external parts can be controlled separately,” sex writer and sex toy reviewer Amy Norton says. This sleek U-shaped vibrator is a game-changer for shared pleasure, according to our panel. The longer arm can be inserted into the vagina and used to stimulate both the G-spot and penis, while the outer arm vibrates against the clitoris. It has a motor at each end and nine increasingly powerful settings – from a gentle murmur to deep rumbling vibrations – for heightened pleasure during intercourse. The lightweight design and travel pouch make it a worthy companion for holidays, and it can be used in the bath or shower. The battery life (one hour) isn’t the longest, but this wouldn’t put our panel off using it time and time again.

As a result, this is one of the few vibrating cock rings that can also bring some extra sauce to your solo endeavors. A ring's vibrations can hit your partner’s clitoris or perineum—depending on what they're working with, and how you're working the angles. As an added effect, they’ll essentially turn your dick into a vibrator.

The classic design combines flexible ears that tickle the clit with a curved vibrating arm that pulses against the G-spot. As a bonus, each arm has its own motor, so you can control them separately. Plus, it has a travel lock, which is “great if you’re a traveler and don’t want to run into any surprises at TSA,” Dr. O’Reilly says.
