How I Chose the Best Sex Toys for Women

I took into account ease of use, aesthetics, battery life, type of battery, waterproofing, functionality, size and range of speeds and settings. While this is a list for vulva owners, I included some couples' sex toys that are also stand-out examples that can be used for female-centric solo pleasure. Additionally, I took into account materials, primarily opting for medical-grade silicone, the industry standard for softness, but included some other materials (ABS plastic, metal, glass, to name a few) that are safer to use with silicone-based personal lubricants. I also tapped PureWow editors to get their honest opinions and scrolled through thousands of customer reviews. However, at the end of the day, sex toys are as varied as the preferences and bodies of the people who use them. So, the more toys you try, the more you learn about what you like, which brings me to this list of the 29 best sex toys for women.

Best Stimulators

Best Sex Toy Overall

1. Lovehoney Rose Clitoral Stimulator

What We Like

  • waterproof
  • ten kinds of suction capabilities and air pulsation
  • magnetic USB charging

What We Don't Like

  • some users report weaker vibration and suction settings
  • some users wish it was stronger overall

Lovehoney

Fitting in the palm of your hand and made with ultra-soft silicone, this rose-shaped vibrator is your last stop if oral is your thing. Just hear me out: It combines air pulsation and suction for a mind-blowing experience. According to PureWow Associate Sales and Deals Editor Destinee Scott (who also tests sex toys regularly), this clitoral stimulator lives up to the hype. She admits, "I thought people were exaggerating when they said this toy was unlike anything on the market, but they weren't. The way it mimics oral sex to a T is incredibly addictive, so watch out, you might become hooked like me and the rest of TikTok." BTW, there are ten air patterns to test out. Better yet? It's waterproof (aka, all roads lead to the tub).

Fast Facts

  • Materials: silicone
  • Size: 7-inch circumference
  • Battery life: 65 minutes
  • Battery type: USB charging
  • Vibration modes: 10
  • Waterproof: yes

Best Clitoral Stimulator

2. Satisfyer Pro 2 Clitoral Stimulator

What We Like

  • 11 settings
  • USB charging
  • suction-like sensation

What We Don't Like

  • harder to position it and hold it steady during couples’ sex

Satisfyer

Scott says if you treat yourself to just one new item off this list, let it be the Satisfyer Pro 2—a mega-popular clitoral stimulator that uses pressure-wave technology to deliver suction-like sensations to all your secret sweet spots. "It became my go-to sex toy overnight, and in my opinion, it feels less intense than the Rose. That said, if you're a beginner, this clitoral stimulator is for you. And trust me, it'll still get the job done." Designed to recreate the sensation of receiving oral sex, this rechargeable device is equipped with *11* settings and features a thick, silicone-tipped head, which can form a soft but firm seal over the clitoris or other areas of the body that you position the device over.

Fast Facts

  • Material: ABS plastic, silicone
  • Size: 6.5 inches long
  • Battery life: 90 minutes
  • Battery type: USB charging
  • Vibration modes: 11
  • Waterproof: yes

Best App-Connected Sex Toy

3. We-Vibe Melt Clitoral Stimulator

What We Like

  • ergonomic handle
  • 12 vibration modes
  • works for both solo and long-distance partnered play

What We Don't Like

  • a bit noisy
  • sometimes challenging to find the right angle for use
  • nozzle is only one size and can be too small for some users

We-Vibe

Made for solo or partner use, this vibrator is a top seller. The handle shape makes it super easy to maneuver, and it has 12 vibration modes with different speeds and patterns. One happy customer says, "It's sleek, well made and takes sex to another level." They also mention that it's a bit loud, so if you want to be discreet, you may want to throw on some music. Not to mention, there is an app you can use for partner use in the same room or long distance.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Size: 6 inches long
  • Battery life: 120 minutes
  • Battery type: USB charging
  • Vibration modes: 12
  • Waterproof: yes

Best Hands-Free Sex Toy

4. Dame Eva II

What We Like

  • made to stay on your body
  • compact size

What We Don't Like

  • rumbly
  • not app-enabled/controlled

Dame

Like the We-Vibe Chorus and other couples' vibrators, the Eva II is a wearable device. But that’s about all this remarkable toy has in common with others on the market. Intended to be non-invasive, it features a small, rounded body and two flexible “wings,” which are meant to straddle the clitoris for an entirely hands-free experience. It received a whopping 93 out of 100 in a PureWow100 review. "I didn’t have to do much to experience the full benefits of the Eva," PureWow Associate Editor Stephanie Meraz shared in her review. "In just a few minutes of maneuvering, I figured out where the device sits best for maximum clitoris stimulation and which speed I preferred." And while this toy isn’t app-enabled like the Chorus, its compact size and rumbly (rather than buzzy) motor make it a fantastic option for those searching for deep, toe-curling orgasms, either via solo or partnered play.

Fast Facts

  • Material: phthalate-free medical-grade silicone
  • Size: 2.4 inches wide
  • Battery life: 1 hour
  • Battery type: USB charging
  • Vibration modes: 3
  • Waterproof: yes

Most Versatile Sex Toy

5. Bellesa AirVibe Pro

What We Like

  • remote-control functionality with 6-meter range
  • dual-stimulation that can be controlled separately
  • Cinetic Suction 3.0 clit suction Technology

What We Don't Like

  • no pulse patterns
  • a little bit noisy
  • higher charging time for shorter amount of play

Bellesa Boutique

What's better than a dual stimulator sex toy? A dual stimulator sex toy with a *remote.* That's right. Bellesa's AirVibe Pro is an upgrade on the brand's standard AirVibe for some distance play. Let someone else take the reins while you sit across from them at the dinner table trying not to squirm. It's got a 6-meter distance range and is fully waterproof and rechargeable. Plus, the dual stimulation of the G-spot and clitoris can be controlled separately, and the device is physically flexible to work with all body types and compositions, making for a more user-specific experience. According to the brand, "the AirVibe Pro combines Bellesa’s best-in-class G-spot vibrator technology and our updated Bellesa’s Cinetic Suction 3.0 clit suction Technology. AirVibe’s Pleasure Jets utilize our strongest, purest and quietest suction waves ever. While on the other end, AirVibe incorporates Aurora’s famous G-spot targeting technology." Count me in.

Most Attractive Sex Toy

6. Smile Makers The Firefighter

What We Like

  • clit-focused
  • waterproof
  • four speeds and two pulsation modes

What We Don't Like

  • battery-operated
  • may take some getting used to the shape

Smile Makers

This adorable vibrator has a clitoris-focused shape for direct external pleasure, which can lead to some seriously explosive sessions. It's waterproof and made from premium silicone that's sourced from Japan. Per one buyer, "It's just perfect. The shape, intensity. The design is just cute, discreet and very functional. I love it! It definitely hits the right spots!"

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Size:  6.02 by 1.73 by 1.22 inches
  • Battery life: up to 3 hours
  • Battery type: USB charging
  • Vibration modes: 6
  • Waterproof: yes

Best Vibrators

Best Dual Vibrator

7. Lelo Ina Wave 2

What We Like

  • dual-stimulation
  • extra power
  • 12 intensities

What We Don't Like

  • some users found the device to be a bit too firm

Lelo

This luxe silicone toy boasts a vigorous movement that massages your G-spot to get you to climax at lightning speed. The shorter side is designed to stimulate you externally for extra pleasure, while the main shaft (aka the insertable part of the toy) supposedly delivers 30 percent more power for intense, deep vibrations that may just get you there every time. "I feel like a lot of buyers sleep on the fact that it has just five perfectly placed buttons, which makes it super easy to use," Scott adds. "Plus, it has 12 vibration modes, so it's really hard to get bored with. I'm still exploring all that it has to offer, and I've had mine for a year."

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone, ABS plastic
  • Size: 4.3 insertable inches
  • Battery life: up to 2 hours
  • Battery type: USB charging
  • Vibration modes: 12
  • Waterproof: yes

Most Powerful Sex Toy

8. Le Wand Vibrating Massager

What We Like

  • 20 patterns
  • intense stimulation
  • doubles as a massager

What We Don't Like

  • some users report that it's a bit noisy
  • on the buzzier side

Le Wand

This wand vibrator—a type of sex toy that’s known for being incredibly powerful and having a rounded, rotating head that's attached to a thick handle—often gets overshadowed by the extremely similar Magic Wand. One advantage to using Le Wand over the latter, however, is that it has *20* vibration patterns (the rechargeable version of the Magic Wand only has four). Plus, you’ll get a lot of intense stimulation from this device, which can be a lot to handle if you’ve never used a vibrator before, but if you want a heavy-duty toy that can also be great for back, neck and shoulder massages, this could be perfect.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone, ABS plastic
  • Size: 13.4 inches long
  • Battery life: 180 minutes
  • Battery type: rechargeable
  • Vibration modes: 20
  • Waterproof: n/a

Most Popular Sex Toy

9. Lovehoney Jessica Rabbit Vibrator

What We Like

  • three speeds
  • seven patterns
  • dual stimulation

What We Don't Like

  • may be too intense for some users

Lovehoney

The rabbit vibrator was made famous in the late 1990s thanks to Sex & the City, and, as it turns out, Charlotte's not the only one who is obsessed with it. "The reason this will change your life," according to Knight, "is that it gives you the opportunity to have a dual orgasm—that's when you climax from internal and external stimulation." These dual-action toys have a distinctive shape compared to other vibrators, featuring both a phallic shaft and a clitoral stimulator (which usually has rabbit "ears") to create fluttery yet evocative sensations against the skin. This particular model from the Lovehoney Jessica Rabbit line is one of the most popular toys on the site (surprise, surprise). But here's why Scott is a fan: "It's one of the only rabbit vibrators I own that has that OG rotating function, which you typically won't find with newer models. And let me just say, the swirling motion is like nothing you've experienced." On top of that, it boasts three different speeds and seven patterns for more personalized pleasure, so O-town, here you come!

Fast Facts

  • Material: plastic
  • Size: 5 insertable inches
  • Battery life: n/a
  • Battery type: 3 AA batteries
  • Vibration modes: 10
  • Waterproof: yes

Best G-Spot Vibrator

10. Lelo Gigi 2 G-Spot Vibrator

What We Like

  • G-spot focused
  • eight patterns
  • four-button control

What We Don't Like

  • some users wish the toy had more strength/power

Lelo

G-spot orgasms aren’t always easy to achieve, but the Lelo Gigi 2 is specifically designed with this erogenous zone in mind. One reviewer raves, "This is one of the best toys I've purchased. I have treated myself to a Lelo toy in the past so this was my second time purchasing from them, both times have been consistently great." Made with a flatter-than-average arch at the tip, it can help you explore this elusive pleasure spot, one play session at a time. There are four button controls and eight different vibration patterns. And as if it couldn't get any better than that, it’s made from supple, body-safe silicone that's ultra-smooth to the touch. To make the most out of the Gigi 2, the brand recommends starting slow by positioning it upside down against your clitoris, which can help you ease into G-spot stimulation—especially if you’ve never tried a toy like this before.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Size: 3.7 insertable inches
  • Battery life: up to 4 hours
  • Battery type: USB charging
  • Vibration modes: 8
  • Waterproof: yes

Best Beginner Sex Toy

11. Unbound Bender Vibrator

What We Like

  • multiple functions and ways to use
  • ten different speeds
  • gender-inclusive

What We Don't Like

  • some users though the magnetic charging port was weak

Unbound

While the Bender may look simple to use, the orgasms will be anything but. Due to its dual clitoral and vaginal/anal dual-stimulation and literal namesake bendable qualities, the Bender is the sexiest multi-tool around. It's made to function in a variety of different ways and can work penetratively, externally or at the same time for mind-blowing sensation. Its shape and design make it the perfect toy for nearly anybody regardless of shape, size or type of parts you have. You'll thank me later.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Size: 7 inches long and 3.5 inches wide
  • Battery life: n/a
  • Battery type: USB charging
  • Vibration modes: 10
  • Waterproof: yes

Best Waterproof Sex Toy

12. Smile Makers The Tennis Pro

What We Like

  • quiet motor
  • cute and unique design
  • waterproof

What We Don't Like

  • some users report is a bit challenging to clean
  • harder silicone than expected

Smile Makers

The smooth, waterproof silicone makes this one easy-peasy to clean, and the quiet motor keeps your "me-time," well, me-time—even on the highest vibration speed. And how adorable is that tennis ball inspiration? I'd almost (almost) leave it on my dresser. "Probably one of the more fun vibrators I've used! Truly puts a smile on my face," raves one reviewer.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Size:  6.14 by 1.69 by 1.26 inches
  • Battery life: up to 3 hours
  • Battery type: USB charging
  • Vibration modes: 6
  • Waterproof: yes

Best Rabbit Vibrator

13. Desire Luxury Rabbit Vibrator

What We Like

  • dual stimulation with eight vibration modes
  • 12 speeds
  • comes with a storage case

What We Don't Like

  • immediately goes to sixth speed/intensity upon powering up and can be surprising

Lovehoney

If you prefer both internal and external stimulation in your solo sessions, this rabbit is right up your alley. There are eight modes of vibration and 12 speed settings to play with. Plus, the shape makes it easy to hold and switch the settings while you're using it. One reviewer says, "[It has a] nice feel [and a] great amount of varied speeds. The rabbit ears are nice and curved for a smooth and less sharp sensation."

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Size: 5 insertable inches
  • Battery life:
  • Battery type: USB charging
  • Vibration modes: 20
  • Waterproof: yes

Best Bullet Vibrator

14. Je Joue G-Spot Bullet

What We Like

  • basic design
  • small-but-mighty
  • hook shape helps to reduce hand and wrist fatigue

What We Don't Like

  • some users find the buttons tricky to use
  • some users wish it had higher intensity

Je Joue

With five speed settings and seven patterns, this straightforward design may be miniature in size, but it gets the job done with its powerful motor. In other words, even the lowest speed will have your toes curling. And it's also rechargeable, so you'll never run out of juice mid-orgasm.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Size: ‎ 5 by 6.4 by 7.4 inches
  • Battery life: n/a
  • Battery type: USB charging
  • Vibration modes: 12
  • Waterproof: yes

Best Glass Sex Toy

15. Gläs Rose Nubby Dildo

What We Like

  • pretty design and unique texture
  • hypoallergenic and chillable
  • fracture-resistant

What We Don't Like

  • some users wish the toy had more of a handle
  • glass may be too stiff for some users

Gläs

This glass dildo from Gläs is the stuff bedroom dreams are made of. This toy also looks absolutely gorgeous in person. Made of hypoallergenic and fracture-resistant glass, it's also specially designed to retain various temperatures of heat and coolness—something that's incredibly important for temperature play. You can stick it in the freezer for an icy shock, or, on the flip side, you could run it under hot water to make it warm to the touch. Another reason to give it a try is that its raised pleasure-increasing nubs make it incredibly versatile for all your sexual needs.

Fast Facts

  • Material: glass
  • Size: 6 by 8 by 2 inches
  • Battery life: n/a
  • Battery type: n/a
  • Vibration modes: n/a

Best Suction Cup Dildo

16. Lovehoney Curved Suction Cup Dildo

What We Like

  • sturdy suction-cup base
  • room for a bullet vibrator at the base

What We Don't Like

  • requires very specific size of bullet if attempting to use that function

Lovehoney

When you’re shopping for a sex toy like this, one of the most important things to actually consider beyond size is whether or not it has a good suction-cup base. This smooth, 6-inch curved model from Lovehoney has a sturdy one, which means you can stick it to the bottom of a tub, against a tile wall or another hard surface and it will stay firmly in place as you do your business. To step things up even further, it comes with room for a bullet vibrator in its base to give you the best of both worlds.

Best Sex Toy for Travel

17. Tenga Iroha Lipstick Vibrator

What We Like

  • fits in the palm of your hand and super portable
  • long run times
  • waterproof

What We Don't Like

  • some users report that it can feel a bit stubby if not inserted correctly

IROHA

As a brand, Tenga is largely known for its disposable silicone strokers, which come in plastic, egg-shaped containers and are designed to fit in the palm of one’s hand. But the Iroha line is possibly its best-kept secret, as these small, bullet-style vibrators are surprisingly powerful and made from a pillowy-soft silicone, which can be a pleasure just to touch. This lipstick vibrator is ultra discreet and can easily fit in a bag or suitcase, making it a solid choice for travel. "I love the shape of the silicone head because it allows you to feel different sensations depending on how you position it," one reviewer reports. While it is battery-operated (a bit of a bummer, considering so many sex toys nowadays are USB-rechargeable), the brand claims it can run for up to five hours at a time. Plus, it’s waterproof, so you can take it with you from the bedroom to the shower and everywhere in between.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Size: 0.87 by 0.87 by 3.9 inches
  • Battery life: up to 5 hours
  • Battery type: 1 AAA battery

Best Accessories

Best Anal Plugs

18. Akstore Jeweled Anal Plugs

What We Like

  • multiple sizes
  • tapered tips
  • easy to clean

What We Don't Like

  • not stainless steel
  • may be too intense for some users

Akstore

Looking for a gentle way to ease into backdoor stimulation? This set of three differently sized jeweled plugs from Akstore is pretty-but-practical, and could be a terrific investment. Each one has a tapered tip for tender insertion. The sparkly end serves a functional purpose, too, as it’s thick and circular enough that it’ll help keep things from jostling around. While these metal-plated plugs might seem daunting by virtue (they’re not stainless steel, as several reviewers point out), the advantage to using heavy metal is that it's somewhat easier to clean and maintain than silicone and safe to use with all types of lubricants. Scott adds, "I haven't used these jeweled plugs, specifically, but I own a similar metal set from another brand, and they're a lot less intimidating in person. Just think of them as jewelry for your butt."

Best Sex Pillow

19. Liberator Wedge Sex Positioning Pillow

What We Like

  • supportive layer
  • deeper penetration
  • machine-washable cover

What We Don't Like

  • on the pricer side
  • some users reported wear in the middle of the pillow after use

Liberator

One minute, you’re locked in a steamy embrace with your partner. The next, you have to stop and readjust because one of you has a cramp or an ache in your back. Per a reviewer, "The Liberator helps achieve otherwise unachievable angles—and does so without requiring you or your partner to contort into impossible positions. For the receiver, the contact points that can be easily reached are otherworldly. And for the giver, your knees and arms will allow you to last as long as you can last. The only regret you'll have is that you didn't buy it sooner." Because it’s angled at 27 degrees, this item can also facilitate deeper penetration and accessibility, so those sex positions you thought were only possible in the Kama Sutra? Yeah, they’re about to become much more obtainable. This pillow also comes with a plush, machine-washable cover, which makes it easy to clean.

Best Personal Lubricant

20. Maude Shine Organic

What We Like

  • safe for use with devices
  • non-irritating and fragrance-free
  • comes in different sizes and can buy in bulk

What We Don't Like

  • some users found the formula a bit sticky
  • some users reported dryness over time from use

Maude

The ideal add-on to any sex toy gift or purchase for yourself, this lube is a cut above the usual squeeze bottle of tacky (aesthetically and physically speaking) bottle of lubricant. The formula is pH-balanced and free of parabens, and unlike so many lubes that have silicone in them, this lube is safe to use with silicone toys and won't degrade their surfaces. And the brown bottle is cute, with no telltale sex words on it, in case you want to just leave it on your bedside without anyone knowing where, exactly, you're putting it.

What We Don't Like

  • some users report a medicinal taste

Doc Johnson

This oral anesthetic is one of Los Angeles-based manufacturer Doc Johnson's top sellers. Here's how it works: A spray or two spritzed toward the back of the throat before fellatio helps suppress the gag reflex. P.S. Flavors include everything from mint to watermelon and cinnamon.

Best Couples' Sex Toy

22. We-Vibe Chorus Couples' Vibrator

What We Like

  • dual-stimulation
  • works remotely with an app
  • two-year warranty

What We Don't Like

  • some users wish the battery charge lasted longer
  • some users would prefer a stronger vibration/strength

We-Vibe

Whether bae is right next to you on the couch or traveling across the country for a work trip, the We-Vibe Chorus can help bridge the gap and bring the two of you closer together. This silicone toy has a bendable C-shape and is intended for simultaneous clitoral and G-spot stimulation. You can use it solo or with a partner, and the toy boasts three speeds and seven patterns. "Still, I think the main attraction of this couples' sex toy is how easily it connects to We-Vibe’s free app, so you really can share control of the device with your partner no matter how far they are," Scott says. "I tried it with my guy when I was in DC (and he was in New York), and it worked like a charm." Even the remote control is innovative—the tighter you grasp it, the more intense the toy’s vibrations become.

  • Material: silicone

Best C-Ring

23. Lelo Tor 2

What We Like

  • waterproof
  • one-year warranty
  • stimulates both parties

What We Don't Like

  • some positions may cause chaffing
  • may take a bit to figure out comfortable positioning

Lelo

This smooth matte ring slips over a penis, vibrating in six modes from a whisper to a steady pulse, then when the penis penetrates a partner, they'll share the vibrating pleasure, too. With two buttons that are easy to press in the middle of use, this waterproof, streamlined toy is non-intimidating and intuitive to play with. Just one thing to note: Scott says if your partner is on the thicker side, this sex toy may not work. "You see, when you first get it in the mail, the part which is meant to wrap around the penis is small and tight. That said, you'll have to stretch it out to try to get it to fit comfortably." Either way, you can enjoy six vibration modes that will surely spice things up in the bedroom.

Best Panty Vibrator

24. OhMiBod Club Vibe 2.Oh!

What We Like

  • included thong
  • 20 speed settings
  • works from afar

What We Don't Like

  • shorter battery life

OhMiBod

Pop this vibrator in the accompanying lace thong, choose from its 20 speed settings yourself or pass the privilege on to a trusting companion. (The remote works from up to 20 feet away.) The curvy shape of the panty vibrator makes sure it hugs the body, and the club mode is a real innovation—a tiny speaker picks up sound from the environment, whether it's loud music at a concert, movie sound effects or a person's voice.

25. Zalo Aya Wearable Vibrator

What We Like

  • detachable G-spot stimulator
  • works with remote and app

What We Don't Like

  • some users wish the insertable element was larger for less slipage

One 5-star reviewer writes, "Love this toy for solo or partner play! It's very comfortable and powerful. The app offers different mode settings, as well as the option to sync to music." This innovative device has a small panty vibrator with eight speeds, as well as an optional internal attachment that simultaneously stimulates the wearer's G-spot.

Best Multi-Stimulator

26. MysteryVibe Legato

What We Like

  • flexible for 360-degree labia, vulva and clitoral stimulation
  • 30-day returns and two-year warranty
  • rechargeable

What We Don't Like

  • no accessible customer reviews
  • may be challenging to learn how to use because of its unique shape

MysteryVibe

A real hybrid toy that has something for everyone—and a lot of stimulation, especially for women—is the MysteryVibe Legato. This flexible silicone vibrator is unique in that it has four motors that stimulate the entire vulvar area and can continue to do so even during penetration. The 16 vibration intensities provide 360-degree labia arousal, and the device can be stretched to fit exactly your body shape. An added feature I love is that the device can be manipulated by an app or by pushing buttons right on the Legato, so you and your partner have choices of how to play with it. To top it off, the toy comes with a 24-month warranty.

Best Nipple Sex Toy

27. Lovehoney Colorplay Nipple Suckers

What We Like

  • turn hot pink when heated
  • velvety-soft
  • great suction and stimulation when used correctly

What We Don't Like

  • some users wish the suction was stronger and had better grip

Lovehoney

In a world of sophisticated sex gizmos that sometimes seem as though users need an Intro to Electrical Engineering class to get them up and running, these soft silicone nipple suckers are charmingly low-tech. Users just stick them on nipples, and as the purple silicone touches warm flesh (or water, showering sex fans), the material turns bright pink. And these guys stay in place until you pull them off, as gently or roughly as you like. Pro tip: Coat the rim of the sucker with a bit of lube for the tightest and most durable seal.

Best for Long-Distance Play

28. Lovense Lush 3 Love Egg Vibrator

What We Like

  • waterproof
  • charge time allows for hours of play
  • app-controlled allows for hundreds of miles of distance between parties

What We Don't Like

  • needs to be charged after every session
  • some users report that it's a bit noisy when in use

Lovense

Three speeds and four vibration patterns are on offer in this wearable toy that stimulates the clitoris and the G-spot. Via the app, one partner can call up a near-unlimited series of pulsations and even sync the device to music. And at 43 dB sound output, this little guy is quieter than the average multi-motor toy, so it won't kill the vibe. "Not only is the toy easy to use and VERY pleasurable but the battery seems to last forever," writes one reviewer. "And with my partner controlling love vibrations from his phone miles away…it’s hard to feel lonely."

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Size: 3.5 insertable inches

  • Battery type: USB charging

Best Bondage Sex Toy

29. Bondage Boutique Bound To Please Restraints

What We Like

  • easy setup
  • detachable cuffs
  • straps can be adjusted to fit different bed sizes

What We Don't Like

  • some users wish the straps were longer for beds larger than queens
  • some users found the velcro uncomfortable

Lovehoney

If BDSM is your kind of thing, these bedroom restraints will be your new go-to. They attach underneath the mattress, and the design makes them easy to loosen and tighten. One happy buyer reports, "They are easy to use and set up; [I] love that the cuffs can be detached, for the extra use of fastening them together, to get the hands closer together. Although they were bought for her, she couldn't resist getting me in them, which added a totally different dynamic which was great."

What to Consider When Buying Sex Toys

There are many factors to take into consideration when buying sex toys and a handful of questions that you should be asking yourself as you peruse the aisles for your next tantalizing toy. Each and every product aims to provide different kinds of pleasure and can leave you with wildly different results from totally turned on to checking your watch, so be sure to be discerning. These are some of the things I like to keep in mind whilst shopping:

  • Battery life: Is the toy battery-operated or rechargeable? Are there chords involved? Does the toy come with a charger? How long does it take to recharge? How long does the battery last?
  • Material: What material works best for your body? Silicone? Glass? Stainless steel? PVC? Jelly? Rubber? Do you have any allergies to common materials used in sex toys?
  • Modes: What kind of intensity do you want? Does sound matter to you? How many features are you looking for? Do you want a variety of speeds and motions?
  • Types: What type of material are you looking for? What body parts is this product used for? Are there multiple ways to use the product? What kind of orgasm are you trying to achieve? Penetrative, clitoral or something else?
  • Shipping: Does the company offer discreet packaging and billing?
  • Return policy: Does the shop accept returns or exchanges? How many days do you have to decide if a product is right for you? Is there a warranty on the product? If so, how long?

What Is the Best Sex Toy for Women?

The best sex toy for women can vary based on personal preferences. For instance, if you love double-stimulation, you'll be obsessed with the Lelo Ina Wave 2. However, if you're looking for a new toy for you *and* your partner, you can't go wrong with the Lelo Tor 2. Still, among all the sex toys you can buy, the Lovehoney Rose clitoral stimulator reigns supreme. To say it gets the job done like no other would be an understatement, so no wonder it's PureWow editors' and readers' favorite sex toy, like, ever. (And there's a high chance it'll become yours too.)

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are the Different Types of Sex Toys for Women?

Whether you're looking for internal penetrative stimulation or a full-blown clitoral O, there's a sex toy out there for nearly every desire, but they tend to fall into a number of specific categories. Here are some of the most common types, according to Indigo Stray Conger, a licensed marriage and family therapist and certified sex therapist with Mile High Psychotherapy and ThatSexQuiz.com:

  • Dildos: Come in many phallic shapes and sizes and can be used with or without a harness for vaginal or anal penetration.
  • Vibrators: These can come in the form of personal massagers/magic wands, classic dildo-shaped vibrators, G-spot vibrators, egg-shaped vibrators or rabbits.
  • Anal toys: Examples include butt plugs and anal beads, used for anal pleasure. Remember that anything used for anal play needs to have a wide base for safety purposes.
  • Sleeves/Fleshlights: Male masturbation toys featuring an artificial textured vagina or artificial textured anus with powerful suction, primarily used for solo pleasure.
  • C-rings: With or without vibration, these can assist in male stamina as well as pleasure during sex for both partners.
  • Impact play implements: Floggers, paddles.
  • Sex Swings/Harnesses: These are devices that lift one partner while another partner can move around the person in the swing or harness.
  • Restraints: Handcuffs, arm and leg ties, blindfolds and other devices that are used in bondage play.

Where Should You Buy Sex Toys for Women? 

Online marketing has been a boon for the sex toy industry, with an increasing number of outlets where you can shop for and purchase sex toys online. According to Braverman, online retailers’ default procedure is to deliver purchases in discreet packaging, although that’s more for theft prevention than shame over sex toy purchasing. “Sex toy shopping hasn’t been closeted for some time,” he says. “Most women I know are not embarrassed by sex toy purchases or use, going back to the Sex and the City episode 20 years ago, which was a tipping point to mainstreaming sex toys.”
