This waterproof vibrator has a run time of 1.5 hours with five intensities and five patterns to keep you buzzing.

Promising reviews: "Worth it! I absolutely love this vibe! It's quiet, it's rumbly, and is just the sensation (and intensity) I like inside and out. Great way to explore my own body and build up to a great orgasm. Also, on an aesthetic level, the design is so elegant, and the color (berry) makes me like it even more. I'm impressed with Dame as a company and very pleased with my purchase." —Jamie H.

"I cannot recommend this enough. It's so good I buy it as a birthday gift for all my friends." —Tiffany T.

Get it from Dame for $115 (available in ice or berry) or Amazon for $103.50 (only in plum).

This multifunctional ring is 1.57 inches in diameter.

Promising reviews: "First one I have owned. It is comfortable and stretches nicely and still gets its job done. As someone who is above-average girth, I find it still felt comfortable without any pinching feeling. Having the three openings does make it feel better than others I have tried, IMO. It cleaned up real easy, too." —I Henschel

"This is literally the best erection ring I’ve ever used. It’s stretchy and silky smooth and won’t rip your pubes out if you keep them natural. It’s not too tight even if you have some extra girth and it will keeps you hard without interfering with ejaculation. Super easy to clean, too." —Adam G.

Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four colors).

The OG Magic Wand is also formerly known as the Hitachi, just to avoid confusion. The same beloved classic is now available in Plus (an upgraded, corded version with multiple speeds), Rechargeable (cordless version with multiple speeds) and Mini (a travel-friendly, cordless version).

Promising review: "I broke my vibrator two weeks ago. I've had that vibrator for many years. It was very sad. So, I decided to try the Hitachi out because of the reviews. It came today...and so did I. Oh....my....goodness. This thing is better than my last vibrator. Actually, I didn't realize I had started it out on the lower setting. Nothing was 'happening' and I was getting a little worried. Turned the switch to the high setting and . . . hello! It is a bit noisy but nothing like my last vibrator. I would never recommend a battery-operated device. They just don't cut it. My husband even rigged a nice little outlet in my 'naughty' drawer so it will always be ready. Now the attachments. I've never been one for attachments usually because they are just too small and don't do anything for me. However, the attachments for the Hitachi are substantial. I'll be using those from now on. I love my Hitachi!!" —D. Novak (on Original)

Get it from Amazon $49.85+ (available in four styles).

It might just be Amazon's most beloved sex toy, seriously.

Promising reviews: "I have been waiting for something like this forever. Helped me to get over that edge. Best thing since sliced bread. I highly recommend this." —etheldrea

"Throughout my entire life, I have NEVER orgasamed as quickly as I did when using this. It literally took less than a minute. It is absolutely amazing. It's better than sex or any other toy I've ever purchased." —Confidential

Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in three colors).

This rabbit vibrator weighs in at 10 inches long with an insertable length of 5.5 inches and soft, silky, body-safe silicone that's submersible, offering thrilling rumbles as you play. If Christian Grey had a penis that did all of these things, could you really blame Anastasia for falling for him?

Promising review: "My friend told me to buy this and that she orgasms in 40 seconds. I didn’t believe her, first time trying this I left a big wet patch on my grey sheets. I’m not even a huge toy fan but this has me wanting to use it every night! I love it!!" —Cookie

"I don’t think I was prepared for how amazing this actually is. You can orgasm in seconds if you’re not careful. The vibrations feel amazing. Me and my husband love using this, especially when he’s in my ass. There are literally no words, you’ll be seeing stars." —LaLaa

Get it from Lovehoney for $99.99 or Amazon for $68.98.

Supple, body-safe silicone offers a waterproof exterior and a flared base helps the plug stay put.

Promising review: "We have had a great time with this. I bought the largest and it took a bit to get used to it. We are a couple of states away from each other and he has had a great time setting me off while I’m at work or doing things around home. The vibration is very intense at the highest setting and at the lowest just keeps you on edge. Being made of the material that it is, you have to keep it clean and let it air out, so it doesn’t smell if you get any fecal matter on it. Definitely recommend!" —JayyDee

Get it from Amazon for $89+ (available in four sizes).

The pictured dildos and plugs are all part of Blush's Avant collection, with several representing the colors of a specific Pride flag for their uber-popular Pride collection. Each dildo is a different length and girth, so you literally can't go wrong. If you want more specifics on why these dildos are so perfect, check out my review on the Purple Rain D2 Avant dildo.

Promising review: "I love sex toys, this one is the newest one in my collection. This brand makes the most soft and sensational sex toys that I've ever used. The feel is wonderful to the skin and if you're looking for something more on the bigger side this is the right one for you. I generally prefer dildos with a more narrow head so if you're like me you may have a hard time (pun intended) getting this one in but I took on the challenge. I just had to get very lubricated and extra turned on in order to fit this big boy, but in the end I had that feeling of fullness that I was looking for accompanied by the amazing texture from the toy and ended up coming super hard and feeling completely satisfied. Highly recommend for that lonely weekend or with some fun with your partner. :)" —Satisfied customer (on Summer Fling)

Get them from Amazon for $50.99+ (General collection) and $36.99+ (Pride collection).

Promising reviews: "Best smallest vibrator I've ever had the pleasure of using. It warms up when you use it, so it's not cold metal. The settings all pack a punch. It has four of them. Also a cute statement looking necklace." —Rebecca

"This product is so easy to travel with. The charger is tiny, the vibrator is tiny. Even if you don't wear it as a necklace, it takes up no space in your bag. As a mental addition, it's pretty and non-threatening, and the look doesn't scream sex toy. So it's very easy to introduce people to, even if they're not used to sex toys, and nobody feels threatened. This is a very useful product for me, and I'm very happy to own it. Make more like this! I want more pretty little toys. I'll add that I've had this maybe nine months, and it's continued working nicely throughout." —Firebird

Get it from Amazon for $79+ (available in goldtone and rose goldtone).

Don't have a bullet? Check out this round-up of the best bullet vibrators!

This sleek vibrating stroker is inspired by the appearance and power of an actual manta ray. It's designed with waterproof silicone, six speeds and six vibrating patterns turn oral sex, masturbation and couples' play into a mind-blowing time for anyone with a penis.

Promising review: "I got this toy for my partner for his birthday. He's bought me lots of toys over the years and I wanted to gift him his own toy that we can also use together. He enjoys the pleasure it brings, in the bed or in the shower. It's pretty powerful, has lots of options and settings, and feels good on my clit too (though a bit too strong of vibrations for me). We've only used it once together so we still need to experiment a bit more with positions for it to bring us both to climax but this is a really awesome, high quality toy so I am hopeful!" —Lilliana

Get it from Amazon for $139.98+ or Fun Factory for $139.99 (available in three colors and jewel-tone).

Promising reviews: "After my first use (shoutout for arriving in the mail charged) I came like NO OTHER! I didn’t know how I was going to feel about the tongue but it reminded me of the best head I’ve received so obviously I was in love. I mean it when I say my first immediate thought was, I will no longer need a man because I have this toy. 😂 So if you wanna ditch your man, woman, person, and whoever else, this toy will keep you satisfied probably better than they can. 12/10" —TJ

"With the price of this I didn't expect much...but WOW. I am shocked at how awesome this little gadget is; so awesome in fact I don't even get two minutes in using before it's game over for me (in a really good way). It's easy to use alone or during intercourse for extra intensity (good lordy), waterproof, soft/smooth and easy to clean, charged fast and holds the charge for a shockingly long time. It has more speed/intensity options than I need but having the option to go up is nice. Overall very very happy I stumbled across this little gem." —Kieley Sue

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in four colors).

Check out this round-up for more sex toys that simulate oral sex!

Starsi was designed for all bodies to explore pleasure and can be used with the included removable bullet vibrator or without, in case you are a fan of grinding or just want to stimulate areas with a little less intensity.

Promising reviews: "My partner and I have had so much fun with this! It's so soft and all the different parts have such different sensations. The bullet is so strong too, I can only use it on the first setting!! As a nonbinary person I've been so pleased with this toy, it really alleviates any dysphoria I have about playing and it's such a relief! What a lovely toy from an incredible company!" —Kate

"I cannot say enough good things about this purchase. The Starsi knocked it out of the park! The surface area of the toy is wide enough to cover the entire internal and external portions of the clitoris complex. The grooves are both soft and distinctive enough to have a grind that is satisfying. Additionally, it is easy to hold and grip; no toys flying out from under you right when you most need them. 5/5 stars for the number of consecutive orgasms we had with it!" —Anonymous

Get it from Cute Little Fuckers for $79 (available in coral and pink).

At 7.6 inches long and 1.5 inches wide (at the largest point), this vibrator sets itself apart with 10 unique vibration modes.

Promising reviews: "This is my all time favorite toy. Super versatile! You can use it to simply stimulate your clitoris with its tip or you can insert it on your vagina. The tip is a bit curved to reach your g-spot. It is great to play with your partner — can use it anywhere you like! Your best friend and it is easy and fast to charge. Can take it to the bath for some company too as it is water resistant." —stephen

Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in teal and red).

It's me. I am 'bators. JK, but seriously — I love this toy. And every time I think another one has shown up to take its place, I am reminded by the compact size, easy handling, and very very discreet noise (when pressed against the body)...that this toy is my ride or die. I tell everyone I know, and now I'm telling you. Never used suction? Get the Puff. New to sex toys? Get the Puff. Just want to expand your ever-growing collection? Puff. If you need to know more about this sex toy and why I personally love it, make sure to read my review of why Unbound's Puff is my favorite sex toy.

Promising reviews: "Was hesitant to try this since I wasn’t sure about the whole suction aspect, but I do not regret going for it at all! Such an incredible price for an equally amazing toy! If you’re on the edge about getting this, just buy it — you’ll love it. <3" —jillian

"I’m new to the all of this. My friends literally raved about Puff for a year before I finally decided to get one. I did not know…I could feel like that. It is amazing. It took me some time to fully utilize the suction feature in the Puff, but the vibration itself is *chefs kiss*. I also used it once during sex with my boyfriend and phew!!! I don’t even know if I have any words. Great for beginners!" —B.

Get it from Unbound for $48 (available in quartz and mint).

This stainless steel beauty weighs 2 pounds, so you'll definitely feel it.

Promising reviews: "Product will make your partner squirt. I would recommend pairing this with a Magic Wand as well. Problem my girlfriend and I encountered is it’s actually too intense for her, and now she requires to be tied up, so I had to make a follow up trip to HomeDepot. Solid rating at 5/5, will spice up your intimacy time." —M. Allen

"Holy buckets of pussy juice! I had an experience with a lover who made me squirt. I was mortified! But then I began to think...what if I had been able to squirt my whole adult sexual life and never tapped into my own g-spot potentials?! I googled 'toys that make a woman squirt' and the Njoy wand rose like the Excaliber: shining and majestic. I read the reviews, clicked 'buy now' and squealed with delight when it arrived. It's heavy...only downside. Other than that...it has really intensified my sexual experiences...mostly with myself. I recommend this toy to all women. Harness your inner flow ladies!" —River Luver

Get it from Amazon for $86.50.

Promising reviews: "This is one of the best massagers that I have ever purchased! It has 20 different patterns and eight vibration settings. The eighth one is just perfect! Everyone should purchase one of these for their 'sore muscles.' Strength: 10/10. 'Pain' relief: 1000/10 ;)" —Ashley

"BRO. CHEAP. AFFORDABLE, WORTH THE WAIT. Don’t listen to the bad reviews this thing is amazing, had my toes curled and legs shaking on contact, you won’t regret it." —Carson Moore

Get it from Amazon for $20.95+ (available in six colors).

The Shilo dildo is harness-compatible and anal safe, and boasts an insertable length of 6.25 inches and 1.5 inches of girth. A prominent realistic tip offers targeted stimulation to G- or P-spots.

Promising review: "This dildo is seriously impressive. As a pack’n’play toy, it offers a wide range of value! It folds comfortably and discreetly into the pants (albeit with some effort initially) for longterm wear, feels soft between the legs when walking and sitting, pops out to an impressive length (and girth) when readying for play, looks and feels ultra-realistic to the touch (except bigger, according to my girlfriend), and gives an incredible orgasm, to me as well as my partner, surprisingly! The large base pressed right up against my clit through my Spareparts harness! Not as intense as a vibrator or double ended toy, for sure, but a pleasant sensation nonetheless, and my partner gets the benefit of the huge bulbous head rolling across the G and A spots, as well as the soft, almost skin-like texture massaging everything else, and the realistic veins add a nice touch as well! Altogether, a WONDERFUL experience, from start to finish. I definitely recommend this for people who like experimenting with gender expression, but it would be a delight for everyone else too!" —Anna

Get it from New York Toy Collective for $159 (available in four fleshtone and seven whimsical colors).

New York Toy Collective is a queer-owned retailer that creates high-quality, gender-affirming intimacy toys and products, ranging from packers and binders to dildos and accessories.

Enough people asked me, a sex toy writer, about the Rose that I finally decided to try it. Um, this thing is POWERFUL. The Rose is very easy to hold in the palm of your hand or place in your panties if you wanted. I really enjoyed it, and it definitely delivers a lot of squirm for its size...10 functions is more than enough. 😅 I would encourage using a water-based lube liberally around the opening of the toy, which is what I did, so the pulsation intensities aren't too much for the sensitive clit. Also, clean it thoroughly with a toy cleaner or antibacterial soap — those little petals can be difficult.

Promising reviews: "This is the first and only toy that has made me squirt! I didn’t know it was possible!! Gift yourself, and all of your girlfriends. It’s a must have." —Flowerchild

"I never write reviews… But this truly got the job done!!! When I tell you it took less than five minutes! I definitely underestimated this toy. You really need this; it’s a game changer!" —Emily B.

Promising reviews: "This really gave me the 'deathless death.' I loved the intensity and settings. I loved that I could use it on my clitoris or turn it upside down and use it on my actual vaginal opening for stimulation there. I tried it in the shower & when I orgasmed with my mouth hanging open under the shower head, I wouldn't have cared if I drowned or slipped. It was heaven." —Brittney

"Perfect for clitoris stimulation — different sensation than I have ever felt before. Easy to use with a partner too!!" —Victoria B.

Get it from Dame for $99 (available in ice and plum).

"Love it! Super soft to the touch. Gets the job done as you like it. Many different options as the rotator and licker can be on separately and reach having several setting. Feels great and relieves stress! The licker makes almost no noise. The rotator however is a little louder... the rotator's not very discreet. Love that it is waterproof as well since I love a hot soak in the bubble bath!!" —Candance S.

Promising reviews: "I've been selling this toy at my shop for the past 2 years and recently invested in it and I found myself asking one huge question: why oh why did I wait so long to get it? Out of all my anal toys this is my favorite by far!" —Melissa

"I used this toy on myself and was thrilled by the strong vibrations and the rimming sensation of the stem. The larger rimming toy seemed intimidating, but this toy comes in a size that I can use casually without having to do a ton of serious warm up every time I want to use it. I wasn't sure if I would like the rimming aspect but found that it was an exciting new addition to an already great butt toy. Overall, I'm very excited about this toy and would recommend it." —Rimming Lover

Promising reviews: "Soft and easy to clean, and Iiked the packet of water-based lubricant provided. I especially love the rainbow coloring, texture, and discreet pouch it came with. And the suction at the base is great, easily holds to most hard surfaces. Overall, if you are looking for a satisfying and aesthetically pleasing toy, I recommend this one." —Goddess Clem

"For this being one of my first toys, I am not disappointed! it fits well and slides in and out well. It IS a little big, but again, I am a beginner myself. I love the texture of it and the fact that it’s SO realistic. Let’s not forget how beautiful it is! 10/10 would recommend:)" —maura

Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (also available in fleshtones).

Promising reviews: "I definitely had a lot of fun with this product. I’ll give it 5 stars for sure. It’s easy to clean, fairly quiet. Came with cute tote bag for storage, and a charger. Perfect fit inside. And perfect vibration speeds. I’m in love with this product. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" —Rose

"I knew going in this was going to be thinner than I wanted, but I am very happy with this purchase! It has great strength and is pretty quiet for a vibrator. The flexible tip is nice, and the item feels well made. I really like that the charging port is below the screw on/off cap; I am not at all concerned about using this item in the shower to bathtub. I am looking forward to playing with this toy a lot more! After the first use, I highly recommend." —BWK

Promising review: "I've had a few toys over the years and thought this would be fun but nothing special. I was TOTALLY WRONG! It's amazing.
