Meet the smart vibrator that wants to help you get better at getting off
The Touch X boasts a soft, rumbling sound for when you want to keep things quiet, and a straight-up buzz for when you couldn’t care less who hears you getting your vibe on. The compact Touch X fits in the palm of the hand and is praised for how soft it feels, its versatility as a great solo vibrator and how it’s designed to nestle between partners. One criticism users have is that the magnetic charger can be awkward to manage and comes with only the cord (not the charging block). This dual-stimulation suction toy boasts the brand’s best-selling rose suction toy head , but with an exciting addition – a shaft you can flip round and insert for G-spot stimulation.
I totally get that $200 is a lot for a sex toy you might not like until you try it. Its Pro 2 model offers a similar clitoral stimulation to the Womanizer, but for much less. You don’t get all of the same features as you would with the Womanizer Premium (like the autopilot or Smart Silence features), but at that price, I wouldn’t expect them.
With all that in mind, here are some of the best remote-control sex toys. I don’t think the Pulse II works very well as a partnered toy, for several reasons. They’re definitely not intense enough to create significant pleasure for a female partner. It almost feels like there’s a cancellation effect with the oscillations and the vibrations. It’s too hard and bulky to feel very comfortable pressed in between two bodies, and any sort of thrusting is awkward and even slightly painful. I appreciate the effort to involve a partner, but this just feels like a toy that’s meant to be used on its own.
The brand will continue its legacy of breaking new ground with more products in the Whisper collection launching soon, such as the WhisperVibe and WhisperRabbit. The WhisperVibe, priced at $99.99, offers silent versatility in a familiar form factor with five customizable speeds, and WhisperRabbit, priced at $119.99, revolutionizes the iconic dual-stimulation rabbit vibrator. If you’re not concerned with being able to share a wand with partners, you might want one designed specifically for dicks, like this one. “This is a simple ‘male-brator’ that’s very easy to use and great for beginners vibrator,” Dr. Tara says. “It’s lightweight, body-safe, and user-friendly.” Its head is shaped to curve around your shaft, so you can hold it on focused areas like the frenulum, or stroke it up and down to stimulate more of your shaft.
And, lest you think that these vibrators are lack-luster compared to the kind you’d buy in a sex toy store, keep in mind that you’ll often find the Hitachi Magic Wand amongst the selections. Yep, that’s right, the so-called “Cadillac of Vibrators” can be found in the same aisles as neck pillows and Epsom salts. Of course, part of the reason it’s compared to a Cadillac is its size, so if discreetness is a major concern for you, you might want to skip the Hitachi in favor of its smaller counterparts. The Magic Wand is durable and reliable, with multiple settings that’ll achieve the sought-after orgasm it’s known for.
Not only is it made from recycled materials in a green-powered factory, the brand promises to plant a tree with every purchase and it offers a repair and recycle scheme. What’s more, the base is compatible with all Love Not War detachable heads, so you can mix things up depending on your mood. I stand by the fact that it didn’t really need an upgrade in the first place, but the waterproof design is especially welcome. The 40-minute battery life just isn’t enough some days, but I might be greedy. Frankly, I don’t need more than a couple minutes with the Vesper 2 to orgasm, so unless I’m making it a whole hour-long sexual self-care session, 40 minutes is enough.
