When it comes to external sex toys and the best clitoral vibrator options on the market, you have a ton of choices. From big wands to suction toys, external vibrators are designed to stimulate your clitoris—which isn’t a bad place to start if you’re interested in orgasming.
For most vulva owners, clitoral stimulation is what gets the orgasms flowing—only about 20 percent of people with vulvas orgasm through penetration alone, says Rachel Sommer, Ph.D., clinical sexologist and co-founder of My Sex Toy Guide. “There are 15,000 sensitive nerve endings in the clit, making it a pleasure hotspot,” she tells SELF.
When you’re shopping for any type of sex toy, Sommer suggests looking for body-safe, non-porous, durable materials like silicone, designs that fit your body (like pointed tips that target the clitoris), and sensation-enhacing features that appeal to you, like waterproof materials or mobile app connectivity.

Good Vibrations staff sexologist Carol Queen also recommends considering how strong a vibration you’d like (if you’re not sure, you can always get something with multiple intensity levels) and whether you want a wide shape for diffuse rumbles or a narrower one for targeted vibrations (some toys have both!). “Once you consider those two things, remember: whatever you choose will feel better the more aroused you are,” she tells SELF.
To help you find the best clitoral vibrator for you, we compiled a list of expert-recommended and reviewer-approved external sex toys (from suction options that mimic the feeling of oral sex to versatile wand toys) and a bunch of other external clitoris sex toys, including ones that fit comfortably in the palm of your hand or between two fingers.
Whether you’re looking for something discreet that you can leave on your dresser, an unobtrusive toy you can incorporate the next time you have sex with a partner, or a luxury toy that will leave you coming back for more, you’re sure to find the perfect toy to show your clitoris plenty of love below.
