Let us make the case for updating your sex toy inventory. Imagine, for a second, being a vagina. No, not having a vagina. Being a vagina. Or, if we’re being technical, a vulva, aka that collection of parts—including the almighty clitoris—that has the unparalleled ability to create pleasure thanks to the thousands of nerves housed in that below-the-belt real estate. (Seriously, penises should be jealous.)
Now, as your vagina alter ego, imagine possessing an untapped well of potential satisfaction and being unable to communicate exactly what would get you there. Frustrating, right? Luckily, you don’t have to pour one out for all the pleasure your vagina might be missing. Instead, you can switch up your masturbatory habits to see if there’s something you’ve never tried that your vagina would enjoy a hell of a lot. Here, these 13 sex toys can help you get started.
1 Njoy Pure Wand
Is this 1.5-pound curved, stainless steel beauty a dildo meant to stimulate your G-spot? Is it a paperweight that would fit in perfectly in someone’s sleek, modern penthouse apartment? Is it the most pleasurable arm workout you could ever imagine? The possibilities are endless.
2 Crescendo
Sometimes what you need is a vibrator that can bend itself into a pretzel like it fills its long, aimless days with marathon yoga sessions. The Crescendo toy is covered in silicone and is ultra-flexible, meaning you can basically mold it like clay. The shape isn’t the only thing that’s adaptable—you can customize a vibration pattern, too, and take it into the shower with you to mix it up even more.
3 Lioness
Full disclosure: This toy isn’t actually available yet—pre-sale orders are set to start shipping this summer. But! Good things come to those who wait. The creators of this vibrator leaned into the “smart device” movement hard, creating a toy that will track patterns in your arousal and orgasm, then even make suggestions about how to have a better time in bed, if you like. (All data is encrypted and anonymous, the creators say.) Since this is 2017, Lioness’ launch was crowd-funded. It reached full funding in fewer than four days, and eventually, 669 backers provided $131,000 to bring this fantasy to life.
4 Womanizer
If you can get past its unsavory name, this sex toy’s vibrating, suction-based action made one of our staff members describe her orgasm with this toy as “lengthy and intense—something I might even have to call earth-shattering.” There are different versions with different levels of speed and intensity (the one featured above has eight). Oh, and if it’s always been a life goal of yours to have Swarovski crystals near your vagina, you can level up to the…flashy…$400 version.
5 The Original Hitachi Magic Wand
If a site named Good Vibrations calling a toy out as its most popular buzzer, then deeming it “the Cadillac of vibrators,” doesn’t make your clitoris perk up, we’re not sure what will. This thing, which is renowned for its intense vibrations, is a full foot long, but it’s simple, providing two basic speeds to choose from (strong and stronger). Better yet, according to Good Vibrations, this is “equally good for squeezing blissfully between your thighs or for running up and down a sore back.”
This version has a cord, but if you’d rather go without, you can upgrade to the rechargeable cordless version, which comes in at $125.
6 JimmyJane Hello Touch X
This futuristic-looking toy will make you feel like you’re in a sexual science fiction movie, if that’s your thing. Two “pleasure pods” slip over your fingers to provide either vibration or electrostimulation, which JimmyJane’s site describes as “a light electric current to erogenous zones for tingling, unexpected pleasure.”
7 LELO LUNA Beads
Consider these pretty pastel beads a way to potentially reach stronger orgasms. LUNA beads are weighted balls that you insert inside of yourself to help strengthen your pelvic floor via Kegels, which you automatically have to do to make sure the balls don’t slip out of you and go rolling across the conference room floor when you’re in a meeting. Life is not a rom-com. It is basically impossible to bounce back from that.
8 Vesper Necklace from Crave
If you get more turned on by a slow burn buildup than sexual action itself, you may have met your match. You can wear this pretty vibrator around all day like a secret, knowing what it has for you in store later, then eventually take advantage of its low, medium, high, and pulsing vibrations. Made out of stainless steel, it’s available in silver, 24-karat gold, rose gold, and you can even get it engraved. If you haven’t taken the very important time to pick a nickname for your vagina, today’s the day.
9 Wet Wabbit Vibrator
If like an expert juggler, your nether regions can handle more than one thing at a time, this toy might be right for you. The rabbit’s little ears are in a prime position to target the clitoris, massaging beads add even more sensation, and to top it all off, the tip of the toy rotates.
10 Naughtibod 3.Oh Music Vibrator
If you’re forever tweaking some Spotify playlist or other, this toy will be music to your ears vagina. Naughtibod, which features seven vibration patterns, has a microchip that lets it buzz to the beat and rhythm music you play as you use it. It’s compatible with all MP3 players, plus it works with laptops, stereos, microphones, and electric guitars, just in case you have one of those lying around.
