You, me, your roommates—we're all hopefully sex-positive. But as of yet, we're not as open about using our sex toys as we are, say, our electric toothbrush. (Come to think of it, who really wants to think of their roommate using their electric toothbrush, even?) So, until the time (never, we hope) that we are all completely uninhibited and unabashed about all things sexual, we're all for keeping our use of vibrators as -hibited and -bashed as possible—we're talking way discreet, quiet vibrators. While a completely silent vibrator is an oxymoron, we've rounded up the best, next-to-silent tools out there. They're all available for discreet online purchase, and the list includes something for everyone (yes, you too, romping couples). Our best overall pick is the Lelo Dot ($179; $120) because of how it focuses on the clitoris, is easy to hold and very quiet. So, for all the trips to stay with your parents, house guest invites and even just taking care of business after your S.O. is already asleep, check out our favorite quiet vibrators.

What We Don't Like
- button is hard to find
- indiscreet shape

- Run Time: more than two hours
- Standout review: "This toy is really effective and we both feel very connected while using it.

- may move around when wearing
Leaf
A wireless remote controls this through seven speeds of whispery rumbling that can be slipped inside underwear and worn in public, with no one knowing. It's waterproof, too. There's no inner core to this vibrator, too, meaning it's going to be soft and flexible no matter what position you're in.
Fast Facts
- Material: silicone
- Power type: rechargeable battery
- Run Time: two hours
- Standout review: "We have had our leaf for over a year and considered it a must have toy. It charges extremely fast and last for a very long time.

- travel lock
- waterproof
What We Don't Like
- 40 minute battery life minimum

- Run Time: 40 to 120 minutes
- Standout review: "Speaking as someone who's stamina tends to evaporate rather quickly after several minutes of strenuous, rapid thrusting, this toy is a Godsend. I can lay back and just enjoy the ride." —a Fun Factory Customer
What to Consider When Shopping for Quiet Vibrators
Quiet vibrators are easier to come by these days as that's what many people are looking for when they're shopping for a sex toy. Whether you have roommates or travel a lot or the motor sound just throws you out of the mood, you should keep in mind a few things when looking for a quiet vibrator.
- Material: most of the time, silicone vibrators, or at least vibrators with silicone included in the design are very quiet as the material absorbs a lot of the vibration sound, unlike plastic or metal ones.
- Functionality: Does it just vibrate? Does it vibrate while also rotating, thrusting, suctioning or something else? Odds are if it performs multiple functions it's going to sound a bit louder than if the motor just powers a simple vibration.
- Travel vibrators: Toys that are advertised as travel vibrators usually have a quiet motor to keep things discreet during travel play time. If you're in the market for a super quiet vibrator, we would recommend going this route.
