15 Best Sex Toys for Women, According to Glamour Testers

Why we love it: The head of the Satisfyer Pro hovers around the clitoris and puffs air waves around it—while also vibrating. It’s whisper-quiet, and you can push it up to an 11 in intensity levels (a serious range for a toy that's only around $50).

Our reviewer says: What makes the Satisfyer so effective is that, unlike a regular vibrator that sits there and maybe just grazes the top, it really gets in there and massages every centimeter of your clitoris, including the sides and the bottom, all at once. The orgasms feel different—as if they’re starting deeper down. And unlike with a lot of other sex toys, once you feel yourself getting close, you go over the edge immediately rather than building up gradually. —S.W.

What could improve: Weiss notes that after prolonged use, her clitoris felt sore, and it became more difficult to climax. Though she recommends the toy for use with a partner and one or two orgasms, it’s not her first choice for multiple orgasms.

• Use: External only
• Material: Body-safe silicone and ABS plastic
• Battery: 1.5-hour USB-rechargeable with 2.5-hour run time
• Modes: 11 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes

Why we love it: The versatile vibrator Magic Wand (previously called the Hitachi Magic Wand) is technically a body massager. It’s excellent for muscle relaxation and foreplay with a partner, but doubles as a powerful sex toy too. It has a bulbous, soft head that delivers spread-out sensations wherever it touches. This version of the OG wand vibrator has a bendable neck and is, helpfully, cordless.

Our reviewer says: Have you ever used a massage gun or a shower head and then sort of let it drift down because you're curious what that sensation might feel like down there? That’s why this wand massager’s popularity endures through the decades—and exactly how I discovered the pleasure in using mine. I use my Magic Wand with my undies still on because it’s a little too intense without that fabric barrier. Its tennis-ball-shaped head delivers intense, rumbly, spread-out vibrations (across my muscles or my clit, either way). It’s definitely not whisper-quiet, and my hand tires of holding it for longer than 10 minutes, but its vibe patterns and intensities are powerful. This is no pinpointed vibrator (like my Maude Vibe), but sometimes that strength is exactly what I want. —M.G.

What could improve: It’s louder and heavier than most sex toys (clocking in at 1.5 pounds). For a lightweight wand vibrator, try the Fun Factory Vim.

• Use: External only
• Material: Body-safe silicone and ABS plastic
• Battery: 3-hour USB-rechargeable with 3-hour run time
• Modes: 4 vibration patterns and 4 intensity levels
• Waterproof: No

Why we love it: The wide, flat tip of the Gigi 2 covers more area internally than many other vibrators (like a bullet, say)—so it’s much easier to hit the G-spot once it’s inside, our sex-toy reviewer said (and experts too). Its vibrations spread through the vulva and up to the clit, and it can be used as a clit vibrator, too.

Our reviewer says: When it comes to G-spot orgasms, Gigi 2 delivers more than the other G-spot stimulators of the dozens I have. It’s even made me squirt a few times. —Amanda Chatel, Glamour sex writer and toy reviewer, in her review

What could improve: It can be tiring to hold for a long time.

• Use: External and internal
• Material: Body-safe silicone and ABS plastic
• Battery: 2-hour USB-rechargeable with 4-hour run time
• Modes: 8 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes

Why we love it: This bullet vibrator looks like a tube of lipstick, so you’ll never have to worry about everyone knowing it’s a sex toy if it slips out of your bag (and it’s small enough to fit into your pocket or a clutch). It’s intense, with a wide range of patterns and a tapered tip that “presses perfectly against the head of the clitoris,” says Jessica O’Reilly, PhD, sex therapist and host of the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast.

Our reviewer says: My favorite part about Tango X is that it has eight types of vibration patterns in a world where most bullets have less. I can also hold it for a long time comfortably. —A.C.

What could improve: You can't use it internally, and it doesn’t have the longest run time.

• Use: External only
• Material: Body-safe silicone and ABS plastic
• Battery: 1.5-hour USB-rechargeable with 2-hour run time
• Modes: 8 vibration patterns and 8 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes

Why we love it: The Dame Eva has flexible wings that squeeze to keep it in place behind the labia (kind of like a tension rod). Its body rumbles against the clit and the penis during penetrative sex, while your hands are left free to focus on other things.

Our reviewer says: It’s a very unobtrusive toy that tucks between your labia and sits on your clitoris. It’s surprisingly powerful for its small size and also works great for solo masturbation. —S.W.

What could improve: It occasionally moves around, so you may have to keep fitting it back in, and its run time is only up to one hour.

• Use: External only
• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Battery: 4-hour USB-rechargeable with 1-hour run time
• Modes: 3 vibration patterns
• Waterproof: Yes

Why we love it: The Sync 2 slips inside the vagina like a finger, with one end that massages the clitoris (and penis during penetrative sex), while the other end targets the G-spot. It’s remote-controllable, and—even better—app-controllable, so your partner (or you) can adjust its output no matter where you are in the room or the world.

Our reviewer says: I’ve been in a lot of long-distance relationships. The Sync 2 has been a favorite through them. It gets the job done and does provide some intimacy in a strange, faraway way. —A.C.

What could improve: It only has three intensities, which are all fairly gentle.

• Use: External and internal
• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Battery: 2-hour USB-rechargeable with 1.5-hour run time
• Modes: 7 vibration patterns and 3 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes

Why we love it: Here’s another remote-control vibrator that our reviewers praise. The tiny panty vibe fastens inside underwear with a magnet, so you can wear it in public with none the wiser. “It’s powerful, discreet, and designed to be worn around the house or out to a party as your little secret,” says Dr. O’Reilly. “You can control it yourself using the remote or pair it with the free We-Connect app and let a partner join in on the fun.”

Our reviewer says: This panty vibe doesn’t have the bulkiness that others have so I can slip it into the pocket of my undies, and it’s a perfect, snug fit right up against my vulva. Although I appreciate the multiple vibration settings, the highest two aren’t necessary for me—which is really saying something because I love a superstrong vibration. —A.C.

What could improve: The vibrator is a little noisy, so it’s maybe not our choice for quieter environments.

• Use: External only
• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Battery: 1.5-hour USB-rechargeable with 2-hour run time
• Modes: 6 vibration patterns and 4 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes

Why we love it: Lelo’s dual-stimulating toy is decidedly more stylish than most rabbit vibrators (and more powerful). Its two arms have separate motors for double the sensation, and its shorter arm teases the clit while the longer slips inside to pinpoint the G-spot simultaneously. Its ergonomic loop makes it simple to hold for long periods.

Our reviewer says: Although I often find it overwhelming to experience two sensations at once, the design of Soraya 2 makes internal along with external clitoral stimulation feel really good. The 12 vibration settings allow me to control the intensities so I don’t climax too quickly, which is sometimes the case when I’m up against a dual-stimulating toy.” —A.C.

What could improve: It’s quite pricey.

• Use: External and internal
• Material: Body-safe silicone and ABS plastic
• Battery: 2-hour USB-rechargeable with 4-hour run time
• Modes: 12 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes

Why we love it: This Womanizer vibrator (which we recently spotted in a Katy Perry music video) surrounds the clit with air waves that mimic the feeling of oral sex, with up to 14 levels of intensity. What sets the suction toy apart from the pack is its thoughtful design; an autopilot feature mixes up intensities for you, and the clit sucker only starts when actually touching your skin (it’s otherwise in a battery-saving standby mode). It has a four-hour run time, and you can take it into the shower, too.

One expert says: The Premium 2 offers a sensation that’s quite distinct from most other toys. It envelops the clitoris with gentle suction and rhythmic pressure waves, leading to a feeling that many people find incredibly arousing. The toy is also equipped with an autopilot feature, which changes the intensity and pattern for a unique experience each time. Many of my clients have shared that it has been a game changer in their sexual-pleasure routine. —Tatyana Dyachenko, sex and relationship therapist

What could improve: It's rumbly and loud.

• Use: External only
• Material: Body-safe silicone and ABS plastic
• Battery: 2-hour USB-rechargeable with 4-hour run time
• Modes: 14 intensity levels
• Waterproof: Yes

Why we love it: Its petite body tethers to your fingers with a flexible silicone loop, virtually becoming an extension of your hand. It’s extremely easy to hold and never slips off. You can trail it across your (or someone else’s) erogenous zones for extra sensation.

Our reviewer says: I appreciate how intuitive this toy is and how my hand doesn’t tire out from holding it, because it’s attached. Though I’ve since graduated to vibrators that offer a bigger range of intensities, I think it’s a nice, affordable vibrator to start with and fun to incorporate into foreplay. —M.G.

What could improve: It takes a long time to charge, compared to how long it actually lasts, and doesn’t offer strong vibrations.

• Use: External only
• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Battery: 2-hour USB-rechargeable with 1.5-hour run time
• Modes: 3 intensity levels
• Waterproof: No

Why we love it: Pogo’s suction-cup dildo can be used solo or with a partner. Just stick it to a hard surface (chair, shower wall, mirror) for vaginal or anal penetration—or slide it into a strap-on harness for pegging. We like that this dishwasher-safe dildo is slim and short enough for anyone trying one for the first time; that it slightly curves to help hit the G- and prostate (a.k.a. the P-spot); and that it’s not highly realistic, as many are.

Our reviewer says: This is a non-intimidating choice for people who are newer to sex toys. It’s a medium-size, body-safe silicone suction dildo that’s large enough for vaginal penetration and small enough for anal play. —Heather Shannon, LCPC, an AASECT-certified sex therapist

What could improve: Its suction may not be strong enough for every surface—we recommend using this with a harness.

• Use: Internal or external
• Material: Body-safe silicone
• Insertable length: 6 inches
• Width: 1.5 inches at the tip
• Suction: Yes
• Waterproof: Yes

Why we love it: A good strap-on set allows anyone to try out different types of penetration—be it vaginal, anal, or oral. This relatively affordable option gives you everything you need for pegging and other play: a harness, a curved five-inch dildo that straps in, and three O-rings that let you swap in other dildos, and it even has a little pocket to hold a bullet vibrator.

Our reviewer says: I love this set not just because it’s comfortable and easy to use, but because it’s not overwhelming when you put it on. As someone who prefers vibes with my dildos, I’ve also found that putting a vibrating cock ring at the base against the O-ring really adds an extra thrill for both partners. —A.C.

What could improve: Its straps are challenging to adjust, and its size may not be generous enough for all bodies.

• Use: Internal or external
• Material (dildo): Body-safe soft silicone
• Insertable length (dildo): 4.5 inches
• Maximum harness size: 68 inches
• Waterproof: Yes

Why we love it: This sex toy has a bend that, when slipped inside the anus or vagina, can hit the prostate (a.k.a. the P-spot) or G-spot when rocked. Each spherical end of the Njoy Pure is differently weighted, adding a feeling of fullness that can feel wonderful for some (especially anally). The stainless steel is easy to clean with soap and water as well.

Pro tip: Run the Njoy under warm water or stick it in the fridge for a few minutes, and then you can experiment with temperature play.

What could improve: Metal may feel too hard for some, and the toy doesn't vibrate.

• Use: External and internal
• Material: Stainless steel
• Insertable length: 8 inches
• Diameter: 1.5 inches; 1 inch at each end
• Waterproof: Yes
