The Satisfyer Pro 2 is a popular vibrator that has 11 intensities with simple plus and minus buttons, an easy-to-grip handle, and a quiet motor. Its comparatively affordable $50 price tag makes it a solid pick for any beginner who wants to experience that pulse sensation (it creates air waves around the clitoris like a little vacuum) without spending too much. In her Satisfyer Pro 2 review, Weiss praised its efficiency. “It's great to use during intercourse because I can't usually climax that way without a toy, and I also recommend it to those who have trouble climaxing in general”; however, she cautions that the highest setting can be painfully powerful. Notably, the toy comes with an additional mouth attachment called the Liquid Air, which is worth playing around with. Its mouth is thinner and offers more of a licking sensation than pulsing.

Material: Body-safe silicone, ABS plastic | Modes: 11 intensity levels | Battery: 1.5-hour USB-rechargeable battery | Run time: Up to 2.5 hours | Lube compatibility: Water-based | Warranty: Yes | Waterproof: Yes | Noise level: Low

Maude’s tapered vibrator is one of its all-time bestsellers, thanks to the fluttering tip and its discreet shape. “The Maude Vibe has hands down been my go-to vibrator for over two years,” Glamour commerce editor Malia Griggs says. “I was intimidated by all of the patterns and speeds some other vibes offer, so the Maude was such a relief. It's simple to use, with just three settings, but don’t be fooled; the modes ramp up in intensity, and I'm able to climax back to back. Its oblong shape acts like a high-powered finger that spreads sensation all along my vulva.” The Maude Vibe is only $49—a low entry price point for any beginners to vibrators who are hesitant to make a big investment.

Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 3 intensity levels | Battery: 1.5-hour USB-rechargeable battery | Run time: Up to 1.5 hours (at lowest speed) | Lube compatibility: Water-based | Warranty: Yes | Waterproof: No | Noise level: Low

The Magic Wand (previously called the Hitachi Magic Wand)—one of the first vibrators on the market—was originally designed as a body massager, and it still serves well as one, especially as a warm-up with a partner. It’s lasted the test of time and remains a favorite among our testers and experts alike. Nan Wise, PhD, a neuroscientist, professor, and AASECT-certified sex therapist, recommends it to her clients. It has four easy-to-operate intensity levels and four vibration patterns, and its bulbous, body-safe silicone head is a breeze to clean. Its sensations can be quite strong, and experts recommend keeping a layer of fabric between you and the toy (like undies or a blanket) to muffle the intensity if it feels like too much.

The wand's external intensity make it worth considering for anyone going through menopause who's experiencing a decrease in sexual sensitivity and more discomfort with penetration, says Carol Queen, PhD, staff expert at Good Vibes. “It might mean that stronger or more direct vibes will feel more pleasurable and support arousal,” she says. The main downside to the OG wand vibe is that it can be a bit noisy and bulky. For a quieter, lightweight wand vibrator with a textured head, we recommend the Fun Factory Vim.

The body-safe silicone rabbit vibrator is among the most recommended of sex toys by our experts. It’s whisper-quiet, sleek, and incredibly strong, thanks to its two motors—one in the shaft and one in the arm—that operate independently, allowing you access to the G-spot and clit at the same time (or you can take turns teasing them). “Although I’m not really into experiencing two simulations at once—I find it can be overwhelming—the design of Soraya 2 makes internal along with external stimulation feel really good,” says Chatel. “The 12 vibration settings allow me to control the intensities so I don’t climax too quickly, which is sometimes the case when I’m up against a dual-stimulating toy.”

If you or your partner enjoy clitoral stimulation or need it to orgasm, testers praise the Womanizer Pro 40, which uses the brand's Pleasure Air technology to suck and blow the clit without actually touching it. Even its lowest setting out of six is quite powerful. “The Womanizer is my favorite suggestion for people who have had difficulty reaching orgasm with standard vibrators, as well as for those with sensitive clitorises,” Micki Allen, a sexual health and pleasure educator, tells Glamour. “I’ve actually had clients tell me that they finally achieved their first orgasm using the Womanizer as a gentler option to other toys.” Of note: Some reviewers mentioned that the Womanizer is noisier than other clit suckers they tested.

The magic of finger vibrators is simple: They turn your digits into high-powered sex toys, making them among the most intimate and ergonomic vibes on the market (especially if you just want to focus on your pleasure and not on potentially dropping your toy). “I love Fin because its silicone loop tethers it to your fingers and makes it one of the easiest vibrators to hold,” says Chatel. “Plus, it lasts a whopping 90 minutes. It may have only three vibration settings, but I promise you, those are all you need to turn your finger into the perfect vibrator.” She adds that you should apply its soft tremors to other body parts for foreplay.

Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 3 vibration settings | Battery: 2-hour rechargeable battery | Run time: Up to 90 minutes | Lube compatibility: Water-based | Warranty: Yes | Waterproof: No | Noise level: Low

Despite its compact size, this super-focused waterproof bullet vibrator is a powerhouse. If you don’t have room for a larger toy, the Tango X is more than up to the challenge—and Shamyra Howard, LCSW, an AASECT-certified sex therapist, likes that it’s beginner-friendly too. It's easy to hold thanks to its silicone handle, discreet enough to pass as a tube of lipstick, and its tapered tip can be angled against the clit for powerfully pinpointed sensations. Most bullet vibes have only a couple intensity levels, but the Tango X has eight—and eight vibration patterns to choose from too.

Material: ABS plastic, body-safe silicone | Modes: 8 vibration patterns and 8 intensity levels | Battery: 90-minute USB-rechargeable battery | Run time: Up to 2 hours | Lube compatibility: Water-based | Warranty: Yes | Waterproof: Yes | Noise level: Low

The We-Vibe Date Night set consists of Nova 2 (We-Vibe’s dual-stimulation rabbit vibrator) and Pivot (the brand’s first foray into cock rings), two versatile toys for partnered play that Chatel keeps in her collection. The Nova 2's flexible arms can target the C- and G-spot simultaneously. Meanwhile, the Pivot slides onto the penis and squeezes it to restrict blood flow, which can help some people delay their climax and achieve stronger, more intense erections. The vibrating cock ring's 10 vibration modes send rumbly waves through the penis, perineum, and clit during partnered activity. It can be worn during vaginal, anal, or anal double penetration (either on the penis, with a strap-on, or even with a butt plug). A major plus of the Date Night set is its We-Vibe Connect app-connectivity, which lets long-distance lovers take control of each other's pleasure, regardless of where they are in the world.

Material: Body-safe silicone, ABS plastic | Modes: 8 intensity levels and 10 vibration patterns (Nova 2); 10 vibration modes (Pivot) | Battery: 120-minute USB-rechargeable batteries | Run time: Up to 90 minutes | Lube compatibility: Water-based | Warranty: Yes | Waterproof: Yes | Noise level: Low

Here's a necklace that’s also a clitoral vibrator. Genius, right? You might think that a toy this stylish and small couldn't possibly deliver, but you'd be wrong. Chatel and Weiss both praise the Vesper, calling it “shockingly powerful.” Its rounded tip allows for direct clitoral stimulation, which can feel amazing to anyone who prefers that targeted pressure. Plus, because it’s sex-toy jewelry, you can take it with you almost anywhere you go—and it's so quiet that's a solid pick for anyone looking for discretion. For a little extra fun, you can engrave the necklace making it one heck of a gift.

Material: Nickel-free stainless steel | Modes: 3 intensity levels and 1 vibration pattern | Battery: 90-minute USB-rechargeable battery | Run time: 40 minutes | Lube compatibility: Silicone-, water-, or oil-based | Warranty: Yes | Waterproof: No | Noise level: Low

Praised for being a powerful toy for creating blended orgasms (simultaneous G-spot and clit orgasms), its arms and wave technology can take time to get used to. Also, make sure you're adding lube. “The first time I used the Enigma Wave, I didn’t even get a chance to relax into it before I had an orgasm,” says Chatel. “It has three motors with a clit-sucking arm and a curved, rotating arm that create a come-hither motion against the G-spot. The Enigma has eight vibration settings, which felt unnecessary. Variety is the spice of life, but when a sex toy scores on the first try the way this one did, everything else seems sort of gratuitous.”

The Moxie+ remote-controlled vibrator is an excellent clitoral vibrator because you can fasten it magnetically inside your underwear, wear it in public without anyone knowing, and let your partner take the reins (no matter where they are in the world). “This panty vibrator is powerful, discreet, and designed to be worn around the house or out to a party as your little secret,” says Jess O’Reilly, PhD, a Toronto-based sex expert and author. “You can remote-control it yourself or pair it with the free We-Connect app and let a partner join in on the fun.” We suggest pairing it with snugly-fitting undies, so the toy more easily stays in place.

Material: Body-safe silicone | Modes: 4 intensity levels and 6 vibration patterns | Battery: 90-minute USB-rechargeable battery | Run time: Up to 2 hours | Lube compatibility: Water-based | Warranty: Yes | Waterproof: Yes | Noise level: Medium
