How to Clean a Vibrator and Other Sex Toys Safely

Zumio’s clitoral stimulator has patented SpiroTip™ rotation technology that lets you pinpoint your exact pleasure spots for the most satisfying orgasm imaginable. “The G-zone is simply an area of tissue that some people find pleasurable, while others don’t,” Corrado says. While the price is a tad dearer than other panty vibes out there, reviewers have said this “powerhouse” is well worth the extra dollars. “This toy hits all the right spots and to know someone else is in control is such a turn-on,” one five-star review reads. “I love the different intensities and how soft the silicone is,” a user commented. Reviewers have noted it’s the perfect toy for foreplay, beginners and those who enjoy a gentler touch.

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.

While companies seem to invent interesting new vibrator shapes every year, there are a few key vibrator categories that are classics for a reason—why reinvent the wheel (or the wand)? We like that the vibrations feel stronger and more rumbly when compared with our other Magic Wand picks’ , and that this new version is easier to clean (because it can be run under a faucet). At the end of this experiment, we discovered that the lube had an effect on every single toy.

If you need (or want) a lot of stimulation to get off, a great wand is your best bet, whether it’s rechargeable or plugs into the wall.

She/they are passionate about normalizing healthy discussions of sexuality in everyday life. The Evolved Tongue Tied is our favorite of the “tongue” vibrators we’ve tested. While they’re not as pinpointed as those from the Lelo Dot, we did find that this vibrator’s flickering tongue (measuring about 1 inch long and 0.25 inches wide at the tip) offers powerful, focused sensations.

Or put a towel or blanket between you and your toy, or keep your underwear on. (This is why I like the Limon so much; you simply squeeze harder for more speed, instead of having to fiddle with any buttons.) You’re looking for a setting that feels nice and moderate, not like it’s power-waxing your clitoris. I like it because it’s simple and intuitive to use, fits in the hand nicely, and packs a punch despite looking cutesy. It might look a little intimidating for a first-time toy, but many women will love the clitoris-cradling sensation it creates. Both the LELO Lily and JeJoue Mimi are pretty straightforward and uncomplicated, while still being high-quality. I suggest reading reviews online to get more perspectives about your potential purchase.

Fast-forward to the 1950s, when one company began marketing the Vibra Finger “Gum Massager” (uh-huh). Featuring a “full-size” finger attached to an electric base, the massager was dentist approved. The money-back guarantee is nice, but we have a feeling no one ever took advantage of it.
