But if you’re looking for something more powerful

National Masturbation Month: The history of the vibrator

Some vibrators can be really expensive based on the features they offer. For example, long-distance devices and suction toys can cost a couple hundred dollars. While a high-quality, body-safe vibrator shouldn’t be cheap, you also want to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth. Make sure to read the specs so you know you’re making a financially wise decision. If a vibrator only has a battery life of one hour, but it’s going to set you back $200, keep looking. This one attaches to underwear with a handy magnetic clip that keeps the toy anchored where you want it; it’s easily the most secure and reliable of any panty vibe I’ve tested.

I prefer the Medium, which is a nice weight (5.5 ounces) and size (about 8 inches long). It’s comfortable to hold for longer periods of time, while its slimmer shape makes it ideal for using with a partner.

But if you have roommates, kids, relatives staying over or you’re planning on traveling — just a few scenarios where you might want to keep the fun on the down-low — volume can become an issue.

Luckily, there are some high-quality quiet vibrators out there that offer low-volume or even silent fun. It measures 4.5 inches long (compared to the OG, which is 12 inches), so it’s easier to fit in your luggage or bedside table. And it’s rechargeable, so you don’t have to worry about finding an outlet in your hotel or getting wild by a wall. While it isn’t quite as powerful as the original vibrators, the Micro does have an extra speed setting, so you have more options to play with.

The Magic Wand has been a mainstay for over 50 years, and now there’s a more convenient cordless version. The design is so recognizable and iconic that people have even made merch for it. “It’s been referred to as the Cadillac of Vibrators — and with good reason,” said Finn. He thoroughly enjoyed the sensation of the oscillation, got hard quickly, and had powerful orgasms.

Whether you’re new to vibrators or want to add to your toy collection , these are some of the best vibrator styles and models you can buy today. This device—with its sleek, ergonomic body—simulates (really good) oral sex via waves and pulses of air. Its widened mouth makes it perfect for use on other erogenous zones. If you plan on vibing with a partner, opt for the Divvy, a device controlled by a remote control that can be used at a distance up to 30 (yes, you read that right) feet.
