13 Best Male Masturbators of 2025 To Give Your Hand a Break

Boasting over 5000 reviews and an average star rating of 4.7, this toy is a true crowd pleaser and for good reason. A small nitpick would be that the Tenga was a little tough to clean since the silicone around the egg puckers a bit. I found myself having to get in there with a Q-tip to ensure that everything was fully clean — although, I will admit I’m a little obsessive when it comes to toy cleanliness. The finger tether is removable, so you can slip it on and off, depending on how you use it. And even when the tether is off, the vibe stays put, thanks to a squishy finger notch that doesn’t vibrate your fingers numb.

If you need (or want) a lot of stimulation to get off vibrator, a great wand is your best bet, whether it’s rechargeable or plugs into the wall.

She/they are passionate about normalizing healthy discussions of sexuality in everyday life. The Evolved Tongue Tied is our favorite of the “tongue” vibrators we’ve tested. While they’re not as pinpointed as those from the Lelo Dot, we did find that this vibrator’s flickering tongue (measuring about 1 inch long and 0.25 inches wide at the tip) offers powerful, focused sensations.

There’s also a bunch of additional accessories and attachments you can invest in to personalize the experience to your specifications. Nothing screams “hands-free” like Dame Products’ sophisticate Eva II. The toy’s flexi-wings will cling securely to your labia, giving you a bit (okay, much more than a bit) of buzz during your next penetrative romp.

As a result, this is one of the few vibrating cock rings that can also bring some extra sauce to your solo endeavors. A ring’s vibrations can hit your partner’s clitoris or perineum—depending on what they’re working with, and how you’re working the angles. As an added effect, they’ll essentially turn your dick into a vibrator.

As a sex educator who has also worked as a victim’s advocate, sex toys are something that my students often ask me about, so let’s jump right to the answer here. If you’re a beginner, go for a classic vaginal vibrator with a curved tip for easier G-spot stimulation. Ribbed designs, meanwhile, allow the raised ridges to pass over the G-spot, offering further stimulation.

The study mentioned above from Indiana University does bolster this fact and notes that side effects are rare, and those that do occur don’t tend to last. Over 70 percent of respondents said they experienced no negative side effects from vibrator use, with 3 percent reporting pain. We can’t say for sure if this was from incorrect use or underlying medical conditions, of course, but both those factors definitely can contribute to negative side effects from vibrator use. Womanizer’s Vibe is completely noiseless making it perfect for travel or busy parents who don’t want their activities to be known to the rest of the house.
