Intensely horny? Good news: we’ve got the best vibrators you can buy. There are more than a dozen reasons masturbation is good for you: it can not only help you destress but can also boost your mood and potentially help you fall asleep faster. Masturbation can also increase your libido, make period cramps feel better, and let’s be honest, using a sex toy can feel like a workout, too.
Although fingers are an excellent sex toy, many of us turn to vibrators for our masturbation needs. “Rocking your hips, arching your back, grinding against your toy,” whatever you do, sex educator Luna Matatas says to “give it” to your vibrator rather than using your vibe to “give it to you.” But to really get into it, you have to have the right vibrator. The best vibrators come in a number of different styles, with more or less powerful motors, and come in materials ranging from hard metal to soft silicone. Finding the right vibrator for you can take some experimentation.
Besides masturbation, using sex toys with a partner can increase pleasure for both parties and invite a sense of playfulness into the bedroom (or bathroom, or kitchen…). “There are lots of couples that are looking for vibrators to use together,” says Jenn Mason, founder and owner of WinkWink, a Washington–based, women-owned sex shop. “Sometimes the instinct is to go for something really small and discreet for your first time, but I always encourage people to think about getting something that’s a little bit bigger if they’re using it with a partner, because it has a higher chance of success and is easier to find the right spot.”
