RELATED: The 16 Best Places to (Discreetly) Buy Sex Toys Online in 2022

1. Magic Wand Mini

Best High-Power Travel Vibrator

Why We Love It: High power, comfortable hand positioning

The classic Magic Wand has long been a fan favorite for its powerful plug-in vibration ability and how its rounded silicone head design helps dissipate vibrations toward where you want them and away from your poor tired wrist. But at more than a foot long, it was as inconvenient to travel with as a toaster. Now its original manufacturers have introduced the Mini version, which delivers similar power as the original, but in a rechargeable (aka convenient cord-free) and smaller package. At 9.5 inches long, it’s no tiny dancer, but a staffer who tried it described its mojo like this: “I was able to build on its various speeds at different angles and edge for a lot longer than with other, heavier vibrators, so I got a lot more fun out of this model than my other vibrators usually give me.”

Buy It ($76)

2. Le Wand Bullet Mini Vibrator

Best Tiny Travel Vibrator

Why We Love It: 3 inches long, textured silicone sleeve

This rechargeable tiny bullet vibrator lets you toggle between 15 speeds during its one-hour-long charge, and users have the option of sliding the snug, nubby sleeve over the body-safe metal chassis for additional sensation. This is a whole lot of engineering in a three-inch-long device that’s easy to stash in its accompanying velvet case in the underwear compartment of your carryon.

Buy It ( $171 ; $114)

3. Tenda Iroha Lipstick Vibe

Best Battery-Operated Travel Vibrator

Why We Love It: AAA battery powered, 3.9 inches long

This cute little vibrator has a soft silicone tip that makes for an effective clitoral vibrator. It has a clear plastic case that makes it look like a lipstick in its case, and the waterproof power lasts for up to five hours on one battery. (Note: Users might want to opt for a battery-operated vibrator in case they don’t want to leave a vibrator plugged in for housekeeping to find.)

Buy It ( $45 ; $29)

4. Desire Luxury Clitoral Vibrator

Most Discreet Recharging Travel Vibrator

Why We Love It: Palm-sized, extra quiet, discreet

With eight wave patterns and 12 intensities, you’d think this little 4.5 by 4-inch device would be noisy, but you’ll only hear a smooth hum. The slight curve in the design means it stays cupping in your hand while you apply pressure to the clitoris using the focused tip, and entire outer vulva with the rest of the device. Best of all for travel, you can just place it in the case (it resembles a retainer case, lolz) and plug in a USB cable for the ultimate in discreet charging.

Buy It ($90)

5. Kiki De Montparnasse Etoile Bullet

Best Giftable Travel Vibrator

Why We Love It: Gold-plated stainless steel, 2.75 inches

In 18 karat gold-plated stainless steel and packaged in an elegant and sexy gold box with a satiny black cushion, this vibrator will let someone know they’re worth all the shiny things. Small yet mighty, this small bullet vibrator is weighted for an extra luxurious feel, and has ten vibration modes that get the job done.

Buy It ( $211 ; $143)

6. Lovehoney Ignite Mini Rabbit Vibrator

Best Rabbit Travel Vibrator

Why We Love It: 20 functions, travel lock

You get all the sensation of a rabbit vibrator—which is to say external clitoral stimulation with the rabbit “ears” while the internal shaft is targeting g-spot stimulation. All this, in a 4.5-inch-long toy that has a travel lock and fits into your makeup case.

Buy It ($35)

7. Maude Vibe

Best Locking Travel Vibrator

Why We Love It: Sleek design, irritant-free silicone skin, travel lock

This sculptural little device is made with soft, phthalate- and latex-free silicone and comes in chic colors (grey, dark green, clay and charcoal), unlike the carnivalesque tones of so many erotic toys. And it’s discreet: To activate the travel lock, you simply push down on the switch for a couple seconds until you feel two pulses, which indicates it’s going into travel mode, and can’t be awakened until it's steadily pushed again for a few seconds. Take that, nosy TSA person!

Buy It ($49)

8. Pen Pal Rechargeable Vibe

Best Camouflaged Travel Vibrator

Why We Love It: Looks like a pen, 10 vibration modes

This 4.4-inch glossy black metal wand looks like one of those fancy purse pens, until you look super close and see it has a tiny button at one end which turns on this skinny-yet-powerful vibrator that’s specially designed to pinpoint erogenous zones during partner and solo play.

Buy It ( $80 ; $64)

9. Satisfyer Partner Multifun 2

Best Couples Travel Vibrator

Why We Love It: 10 vibration modes, multiple uses

This inventive vibrator has separate vibration zones—one in the upper main body, and the others in each of the lower arms of the U-shape. Combined, there are more than 100 combinations of vibration in this device, which can be used against, in between, under or on top of users, when used in a couples or solo session. And it’s fully waterproof, to boot.

Buy It ($50)

10. FemmeFun Ultra Bullet

Best Waterproof Travel Vibrator

Why We Love It: 20 vibration modes, one-switch controls

The simple toggle button on the base, 4.25-inch size and waterproof casing makes this vibrator our top choice for trying out in that hotel room soaking tub.It cycles through its 20 unique vibration patterns via a single button at the base, and the memory function lets you remember which speed you stopped at, so that you can get back there, ASAP, without cycling through the rest of the speeds.

Buy It ( $147 ; $59)

11. We-Vibe Moxie with Remote

Best Wearable Travel Vibrator

Why We Love It: Remote operated, slim profile

This waterproof panty vibrator fastens onto your knickers using a powerful battery to keep it from slipping, and has ten rumbling (yet quiet) vibration modes that can be operated by a partner via remote control, and even long distance via an app. So you can keep the intimacy going across the miles, or across the restaurant.

The Magic Wand Original Vibrator Walked so the New Magic Wand Mini Could Run (And Travel)

The Magic Wand Original is a vibrator with more than a half-century of experience at delivering pleasure. But after testing a new, snack-sized version of the toy, the Magic Wand Mini , I predict it'll be equally acclaimed by sex-havers everywhere.

For some background, the Magic Wand Original (known as the Hitatchi until a 2013 rebrand), is arguably the little black dress of vibrators—a true classic. Made of body-safe ABS plastic and silicone, the massager first came on the market in the late 1960s, but was marketed and  sold as a back massager. But after just a few years on the market, it gained a reputation for being the best sex aid around. It's still a beloved vibrator, and widely known as one of the best available , but with the Magic Wand Mini hitting the scene , it's clear that there's more room in the world for Magic.

The Original walked so the Magic Wand Mini vibrator could run, or, er, travel

First, fear not: Neither the Magic Wand Original nor Magic Wand Rechargeable is going anywhere. Capable of providing up to 6,300 rotations per minute (RPM) of vibration intensity, they best every other handheld vibrator on the market.

As popular as the Original is, however, a number of people have complaints about its size—and, honestly, for good reason. The Original measures in at over a foot long and weighs 1.5 pounds. Wand vibrators are often compared to microphones, but for frame of reference, the Original is actually larger than the sound amplifier. A better size comparison is those toy echo microphones for kids , which are hardly discreet.

While the size of the Original is what allows the toy to provide so much power (the bigger the toy, the bigger the motor, the greater the power), its size and weight also make it less accessible to people with limited limb strength or mobility. The Original is also cumbersome to transport to basically anywhere, and that’s where the Magic Wand Mini (ahem) comes into play.

{{post.sponsorText}}

What to know about the Magic Wand Mini

At 9.5 inches long and 9.7 ounces in weight, the Magic Wand Mini is smaller than the Original, making it easier to store, schlep around, and hold onto than any of the other Magic Wand models.

But, that compactness doesn't mean the Mini lacks in power. It has three intensity options, ranging from 3,500 to 6,000 RPM. That means the Mini packs slightly punch less than the original's maximum of 6,300 RPM, but, personally, I found the difference imperceptible. Also of note is that that neither the Mini nor the Original provide vibration patterns, so if that's a feature you enjoy, you may not benefit from downsizing (and would be wise to consider the Rechargable, which does offer the feature).

Despite the fact that the Mini is less powerful, mechanically, than the Original, I found that it actually helped me reach orgasm faster than the Original.

Despite the fact that the Mini is less powerful, mechanically, than the Original, I found that it actually helped me reach orgasm faster than the Original. Both the Original and Rechargeable Magic Wands are topped with bulbous, fist-sized heads that are designed to transmit the rumbly vibration to a large surface area. The head on the Mini is significantly smaller, which makes it superior for delivering pinpointed stimulation. As a person who prefers specificity in clitoral and labial stimulation to that broad genital stimulation, the Mini was actually able to get me off more efficiently than the Original does.

Of course, all bodies are different. So, I concede that the smaller head may not be a win for all pleasure-seekers. You’d be better off sticking with the large-headed version if you like to use it face-down during solo sex, or if you want to use it while scissoring with your partner. In both instances, a bigger head makes play easier.

The main downside of the Mini is that it’s splash-proof, not waterproof. That means you can rinse it off in the sink after use, but can’t use it during bath or shower sex . Given that competitor product Le Wand Petite also isn’t waterproof, I thought this was a missed opportunity to level-up.

Ultimately, though, I’d give the Magic Wand Mini five out of five stars. Small, high-intensity, and outfitted with intuitive buttons, this vibrator has many of the features I look for in a wand vibrator. I’d enthusiastically recommend it to anyone looking for a travel-sized take on their go-to wand, or anyone who has been too intimidated by their bulky size to buy a wand vibe previously.

11 Best Wand Vibrators in 2023, According to Sex Educators

By Malia Griggs

There are so many sex toys to choose from, whatever your pleasure may be. If you’re looking for something with a lot of power, the best wand vibrators will offer you the intensity you’re looking for and then some. SELF spoke with a variety of sex educators and therapists to learn more about what makes these particular vibes so great, and which ones you should consider.

What are wand vibrators?

Wands are usually characterized by strong motors and big, tennis ball–shaped heads. Their size and shape deliver external sensation through deep vibrations, which can be downright mind-blowing for clitoral stimulation , in particular. (If you’re looking for G-spot stimulation , you might enjoy rabbit vibrators and dildos , just FYI.) Because of their wide heads, which cover a lot of surface area, wand vibrators are easy to use during masturbation or with a partner . You can also run them all over the body, including on the nipples, penises, butt, and beyond.

What should you look for in a wand vibrator?

Some wands are smaller and more discreet , while others are large and in charge. Many come with a variety of different speeds and settings, and some even have remote and app connectivity. These days, a lot of options are wireless, but some wands have cords, meaning you never have to charge them (and won’t lose power in the middle of play). The head of the wand vibrator should be made out of a non-porous material, like silicone, that’s soft and easy to clean. If you want to take your wand into the tub or shower, make sure to buy one that’s waterproof . Lastly, be sure to pair any silicone vibe with water-based lube , which won’t break down the toy’s material, unlike silicone lubes, which may cause deterioration.

The best wand vibrators to buy right now

These are our top five wand vibrator picks—and below are more of the best wand vibrators that sex experts and reviewers love.

• Lelo Smart Wand 2
• Lovehoney Deluxe
• Magic Wand Rechargeable
• Le Wand Petite

All products featured on SELF are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Best Overall Wand Vibrator : Magic Wand Rechargeable

The Magic Wand vibrator is “iconic for a reason,” Lisa Finn , a brand manager at sex toy retailer Babeland , tells SELF. That reason is power. The 13-inch toy has four levels of intensity and four vibration patterns, but as one Lovehoney shopper puts it: “It works so well that I usually don't even need the max settings.” The vibe’s smooth, silicone head is an ample 2.4 inches in diameter and it has a flexible neck that allows you to apply extra pressure—leading to seriously potent sensations. “I feel it vibrate all through me,” one shopper says. The original Hitachi Wand model needs to be plugged in, but this version gives you the ability to use it wirelessly (with a generous three-hour usage time) or with a cord, should you want to keep going.

• Pros: Powerful, rechargeable, option to use cordless or corded, long-lasting, flexible neck
• Cons: Bulky, not waterproof, a little noisy

Most Intense Wand Vibrator : Le Wand Massager

Another expert favorite is the 13.5-inch Le Wand rechargeable vibrator. It has many of the same qualities that make the original Magic Wand so beloved—like a vigorous motor and well-designed head—but with a sleeker body. “It feels like a little bit of luxury,” Shadeen Francis, LMFT , an AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. You can choose from 20 different vibration patterns and 10 intensity levels—plus, the vibe has a substantial five-hour run time on a single charge (versus the Magic Wand’s three hours).

• Pros: Rechargeable, cordless, water-resistant, long-lasting, travel lock setting and case
• Cons: Bulky, pricey

Best Wand Vibrator for Beginners : Lovehoney Deluxe Mini

At 7.5 inches long, the Deluxe Mini is “small but mighty,” Megan Fleming, MD , a psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. Its wide, domed head can cover more surface area with vibrations, and Fleming recommends trying it across more sensitive areas like the nipples. Over 1,200 Lovehoney reviewers rate this wand an average of 4.5 stars and rave about how travel-friendly and strong the toy’s seven vibration patterns and 10 intensity levels are (with a price tag that’s likely more approachable for first-timers).

• Pros: Discreet, under $75, rechargeable, cordless
• Cons: Noisy

Best Quiet Wand Vibrator : Dame Com

Dame’s Com wand vibrator has a more flexible neck than a standard wand vibe. It curves to help you hit the right spots and features five intensity settings and five vibration patterns. One SELF editor said it got her off “in mere minutes.” Not to mention, this toy is completely waterproof—and for those with roommates or paper-thin walls, it's also whisper-quiet.

• Pros: Quiet, rechargeable, waterproof, travel lock setting
• Cons: Only one-hour run time after a full charge

Best Luxury Wand Vibrator : Lelo Smart Wand 2

Although it's on the pricier side, the Lelo Smart Wand comes highly recommended by sex therapist Madeline Cooper, LCSW . In general, Lelo’s toys tend to be high-quality, and its wand is no exception, she says. Its soft silicone body is made to feel velvety smooth and even a little warm to the touch. Thanks to its slim, curved handle, you can keep a looser, more comfortable grip on the wand. It’s available in both large (pictured here) and medium sizes.

• Pros: Waterproof, comes in two sizes, holds four-hour charge
• Cons: Pricey

Most Travel-Friendly Wand Vibrator : Le Wand Petite

Fittingly called the Le Wand Petite, this 10-inch version of the original massager more easily slides into the pocket of a weekender bag (though maybe not a fanny pack). The best part? It doesn’t compromise in terms of power. It has six patterns, 10 vibration levels, plus swappable attachments (sold separately) that can add texture or target the G- and P-spots .

• Pros: Compact, rechargeable, cordless, water-resistant, travel lock setting and case

Best Budget-Friendly Wand Vibrator : Palm Power Pocket Massager

If you’re in the market for a mini toy, look no further than the Palm Power Pocket, which is the smallest (and cheapest) wand on this list. At just 3.5 inches long, it literally fits in your hand. “Wands can feel intimidating to someone who has never used a sex toy before, so I recommend this as something that is a bit more approachable and discreet for beginners,” Cooper says.

• Pros: Under $50, discreet, extremely petite, rechargeable
• Cons: May not feel as intense as its competitors with larger heads

Best Wand Vibrator for Long-Distance Sex : Lovense Domi 2

The Domi 2 is just as powerful as the classic Magic Wand, yet has a softer silicone head for greater sensitivity. Its rechargeable battery lasts for up to six hours on a single charge, and shoppers love the option to control it remotely with an app (hello, long-distance relationships). You can even buy additional wand attachments for targeted or textured stimulation.

• Pros: Long-lasting, rechargeable, water-resistant, app-controllable, programmable presets

Most Versatile Wand Vibrator : Fun Factory Manta

Manta might not look like your typical wand toy, but Francis says that’s because it’s designed specifically for use on a penis. Instead of a round head, the rechargeable Manta has U-shaped silicone wings that can “grip a penis in a vibrating hug,” says Francis. She recommends holding it in place for a rhythmic throb, using it as a stroker for ribbed pleasure, or exploring the six different pulse modes and six intensity settings.

• Pros: Rechargeable, cordless, waterproof
• Cons: Buttons are not intuitive

Editor Pick : Maude Vibe

A bit like a cross between a wand and a finger vibrator, this toy from sexual wellness company Maude earned top marks from me for its minimalist design (with just three intensities that span from gentle to “eye-poppingly powerful”), pinpointed end that delivers targeted sensations, and body that’s small and subtle enough to tuck into a purse.

• Pros: Discreet, under $50, easy to use, water-resistant, rechargeable
• Cons: Limited intensities and patterns

Most Powerful Wand Vibrator : Lovehoney Deluxe

This Lovehoney plug-in wand has 10 vibration speeds, 20 different patterns, and a flexible silicone neck. Though its 13-inch length is decidedly not subtle in size (or noise level), the larger head allows for huge waves of stimulation across the clit—or wherever else you use it. “Fairly sure it could rate on the Richter scale,” one shopper says, praising the wand for its “reliably explosive orgasms.” Although being tethered to an outlet can be annoying, you’ll never run out of charge.

• Pros: Won’t lose charge, powerful
• Cons: Not waterproof

Customer Reviews

Mini wand is still very powerful, however the vibes are definitely a “buzzier” version versus the deep rumble vibes you get from the larger wand. I prefer the latter, but if you are someone who enjoys a buzzier feeling, it will work well. It is lightweight and smaller so it is much more convenient to use with a partner.

It worked so good my wife said she doesn’t need me no more, lol

What to expect when traveling with sex toys

While you’ll most likely fly through airport security with no issues, it pays to be prepared in case you encounter a screener who’s in the mood to do some low-level harrying. If you’re selected and don't want your toys on display for strangers, know that you can request a private screening (with a fellow traveler present, if you have one), at any point during the process. It's typically administered by someone of the same gender and all airports have private screening rooms for this purpose.

That said, the most travel-friendly sex toys don’t take up much room and won’t make you feel like a total deviant if you get searched. They’re smaller and multipurpose, with locks that prevent them from switching on in your bag. Ones made of silicone are a better option, being lighter than their stainless steel counterparts and not requiring the care that glass does. Finally, when it comes to rechargeable toys, ones made by the same brand may use compatible chargers, thereby reducing the number of cords you need to bring.

With this in mind, these are some of the best sex toys for travel.

1. wearable toys for play on the way: we-vibe moxie and bond.

A discreet way to deliver controlled pleasure from afar, We-Vibe’s Moxie and Bond wearable vibrators can even be used for foreplay during travel.

The We-Vibe brand is beloved for making toys with rumbly motors that create low-pitch vibrations that hit deeper and are less likely to lead to numbness or over-stimulation compared to buzzier, high-pitched toys. As a result, the Moxie and Bond are surprisingly powerful for their small size; both can run for two hours on a 90-minute charge. They’re easy to care for, too: The bodies are silicone and waterproof.

2. A multipurpose blindfold: Lovehoney’s Oh! Satin Blindfold

Titillate your body's five senses with this frisky satin blindfold from Lovehoney.

Available in black, red, or purple, the flat, uncontoured eye covering means the mask is just as comfortable to wear sitting upright or if mashed face-down on a pillow.

3. A motor-free external toy for grinding: Whim by Pelle

Pelle’s pillow-y silicone grinding toys are a packable and silent vibrator alternative.

Whether due to sensitivity, noise level, durability, or preferences, vibrators are not for everyone all the time, especially where travel is concerned. Enter Pelle’s grinding toys.

4. A luxe bullet that hides in plain sight: Crave Vesper

The Crave Vesper vibe doubles as a sleek pendant necklace, making it a discreet choice for spontaneous pleasure in public or post date-night.

The Vesper’s 3-inch stainless steel body comes in shiny faux silver with or without a rose gold accent, or fully plated with 24K yellow gold (for a higher price). It dangles from a delicate removable 26-inch chain that hides the fact that it’s a vibrator from anyone not already in the know, as long as it’s worn with the power button facing inwards.

The metal means that the vibrations feel more rumbly than make sense from such a small toy, and the long, narrow design makes it easy to slip the Vesper between two bodies during sex. It can get a little slippery from lube, but leaving the Vesper on the chain offers another way to grasp it. It lasts 40 minutes on a single charge and comes with a proprietary charger, so don’t forget to pack that.

In addition to being a great travel sex toy, the Vesper would be a welcome accessory for a sex party or promising date. As it’s only splash-proof, not waterproof, take care not to submerge it in water when using it or wiping it clean.

5. A small, versatile lipstick vibe: Dame Kip

A modern version of the classic lipstick vibe, the Kip delivers external stimulation in a cosmetic-sized package.

The Kip isn’t the most powerful small vibrator on this list, but it has a graduated range of intensities, and what it lacks in sheer power, it more than makes up for with sensation. It runs quietly even on the highest of its four settings and is rechargeable via a proprietary Dame USB cable, delivering up to 1.5 hours of vibration on a 2.5-hour charge. The matte silicone is fully waterproof and easy to grasp, even when coated in silicone-safe, water-based lube.

6. A vibrator with more surface area: We-Vibe Touch X

The We-Vibe Touch X is a small but powerful vibrator that’s great for partnered or solo play.

7. A silicone plug for choose-your-own penetration: Hole Punch Fluke

For those whose penetration desires vary, this gorgeous ombre silicone plug can be used anally or vaginally (with proper washing, of course).

The Fluke has a flange that’s large enough to be anal-safe, and its 5.25 inches of insertable length narrows toward the base and flares out at the tip into a substantial body that’s 2 inches wide at the widest diameter. Its bulb-like head, including a noticeable ridge, nudges a G-spot or prostate. It’s fun to thrust with a hand but even more fun to clench around. It also stays put wherever you insert it—though if swapping locations, a thorough washing between is a must.

8. A quiet “suction” vibe: The Womanizer Premium 2

Clitoral vibe lovers will love the varied “suction” on the Womanizer Premium 2, a luxe, effective substitute for oral stimulation.

At 6 inches long and nearly 2 inches in diameter at its widest point, the Womanizer is larger than many of the other vibes on the list, but still small enough for packing in a carry-on bag. It’s covered in waterproof silicone, has a travel-lock setting, and lasts up to four hours on a two-hour charge from its own proprietary magnetic USB charger.

9. A powerful wand vibrator with a travel case: The Doxy Die Cast 3R

This wand vibrator packs powerful rumbles into a compact package and also doubles as a general body massager.

The Doxy Die Cast 3R comes with a sleek silver metallic tube of a travel case, with one end unscrewing to reveal a compartment for the wand and another that conceals its charging cord. The case and travel lock keeps the vibrator from knocking around or potentially turning on in a suitcase. You don’t have to pack it in a checked bag, but it will take up some real estate in carry-on if you go that route—though its size is a worthy tradeoff, given how effective it can be for intimate purposes or even just easing out sore muscles from traveling The only potential flaw is its charge time: According to reviewers, four hours of charge time yields an hour of continuous play at its highest setting.

10. Discrete, disposable masturbation sleeves: Tenga Eggs

Tenga Eggs are travel-friendly, reusable sleeves for a quick masturbation sesh.

If you’re flying with a Tenga Egg, note that inside the egg packaging and sleeve, there’s a small packet of lube that, though less than 3 ounces, might trigger curiosity on the airport scanner. And while it’s possible to wash them for more than one use, it’s not recommended, as elastomer is porous and can harbor bacteria.

11. Travel-sized lube: Sliquid organic lube cube

Avoid going over your liquid limit with a full-sized tube of lube by packing the packets in Sliquid’s organic lube cube instead.

With a total of 12 packets, this lube cube includes cushion-y Sliquid Sassy, a water-based anal favorite that’s silicone-safe; the thinner, water-based Sliquid H20 for use with any silicone toys; the long-lasting, silicone-based Sliquid Silver for sex in the shower or pool; and a few flavored lubes for oral endeavors. All are glycerin- and paraben-free.

12. Restraints that won’t set off the metal detector: Sex Ties and Bondage Tape

Stash a roll of PVC tape in your bag for impromptu bondage on the road.

In addition to bondage, it can be used as a blindfold or to “wear” as a latex-look outfit for a partner to remove later. It’s reusable, too—just plan ahead by checking scissors or asking to borrow a pair from the hotel concierge.

The Best Vibrators

By Bianca Alba

Shopping for sex toys can be intimidating, for first-time buyers and experienced users alike.

After 150 cumulative hours of research and testing—interviewing sex researchers, crowdsourcing opinions from enthusiasts, and analyzing data from 11 volunteers who have tried more than 30 different models since 2014—we’ve concluded that the cordless Magic Wand Rechargeable is the best vibrator for clitoral stimulation. And, like all Magic Wand models, it’s also useful as a whole-body massager.

Everything we recommend

Magic Wand Rechargeable

The best vibrator.

No toy offers the level of power and intensity as the widely beloved Magic Wand. The intense stimulation it provides can be particularly helpful for people experiencing diminished libido or sensitivity.

Buying Options

20% off w/code WC-LOVE20

Magic Wand Plus

Similar features, but corded.

This corded toy is almost identical in shape, size, and power to the Magic Wand Rechargeable, but it’s available at a lower price.

Budget pick

Satisfyer Purple Pleasure

Affordable and versatile.

This toy offers strong vibrations, has a rechargeable battery, and comes with a 15-year warranty, all at a fraction of the price of similar models.

For suction and vibration

This suction vibrator provides diffuse, customizable sensations in a small, convenient size.

For precise stimulation

The flexible pointed tip of this teardrop-shaped vibrator offers intense pinpoint stimulation, while the loop handle makes it easier than most to hold.

What to look for

Body-safe sex toys are made of nonporous, nontoxic materials . The best are compatible with water-based lubricants and easy to clean .

Some toys with rechargeable batteries automatically shut off during use. If you don’t want to risk running out of power, consider a corded toy .

Battery capacity diminishes, and “water-resistant” toys can short. A warranty provides some peace of mind for nonreturnable purchases.

Determining what toy will work best for you based on reviews can be difficult because every person’s sexual response is different.

The Magic Wand has been a favorite of sex-toy enthusiasts for 50-plus years for good reason. Many of our testers described the Magic Wand Original as their “go-to” vibrator for clitoral stimulation, as it was almost always guaranteed to induce an orgasm when others could not. The Magic Wand Rechargeable is twice as expensive as the Original model, but its easy-to-clean silicone head, rechargeable battery, quieter motor, and greater variation in intensity and vibration patterns make it worth the extra cost. The toy is durable as well as functional: Its distributor, Vibratex, offers a one-year warranty, but several testers have reported that their Magic Wands have stood up to many years of frequent use.

If you can’t get the Magic Wand Rechargeable—or you prefer a corded toy—the Magic Wand Plus offers similar features at a lower price. Although it lacks the cordless convenience and multiple vibration patterns of the Magic Wand Rechargeable, it offers the same power and several worthwhile upgrades over the Magic Wand Original , namely four power settings instead of two, as well as a detachable cord that you can replace to extend the life of the toy.

The palm-sized Satisfyer Purple Pleasure vibrator hits the sweet spot as a high-quality, basic vibrator available at a significantly lower price than the competition. The oval shape of the vibrator is excellent for focused clitoral stimulation, and the device is small enough to be convenient for travel and for partner play. The toy is made from soft, easy-to-clean silicone, and the vibrations are powerful. This Satisfyer vibrator is a fantastic starter toy at a bargain price, especially considering its 15-year warranty.

The Dame Aer is the first suction vibrator that we’ve liked more than toys from Womanizer, the brand that pioneered similar oral-sex-simulating tech . Although the Aer is definitely noisier than some other suction toys we’ve tested, the larger nozzle creates a more diffuse, customizable suction sensation, and the slender, curved shape of the toy makes it comfortable to hold and easy to use. Our testers also raved that it charges quickly, holds a charge for a long time, and is super easy to clean thanks to its all-in-one waterproof silicone design.

The Lelo Dot is the best precision-tip vibrator. Made of soft, flexible silicone, the intense vibrations stay focused in the ⅛-inch-wide tip of the toy without radiating into the hard-plastic loop handle, making it more comfortable for people with arthritis or limited hand or wrist mobility. The narrow tip also makes this vibrator a great toy for partner play, as it leaves plenty of room for other types of simultaneous stimulation.

The research

Why you should trust us, who this is for, how we picked and tested, our pick: magic wand rechargeable, runner-up: magic wand plus, budget pick: satisfyer purple pleasure, also great: dame aer, also great: lelo dot, other good vibrators, why spend $100-plus on a vibrator, what makes a toy “body safe”, use, care, and maintenance, the competition.

I’m a full-time writer and sex educator who has tested more than 200 different sex toys in the past 25 years. I began blogging about sex toys in 2011, and I worked as a toy tester and copywriter for the retailer The Stockroom for several years.

I received my master of public health degree in 2014 from Indiana University, where I assisted research scientist Debra Herbenick with academic and consumer research related to sex-toy use. While at Indiana University, I worked as a blogger and sex educator at The Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction .

As part of my research for this guide, I consulted sex educators and owners of sex-toy shops . I’ve also consulted all manner of sex-toy users, from first-timers to people who use vibrators daily, including cis and trans people across gender identities and sexualities. Some of these people wished to remain anonymous, as noted wherever applicable in this guide.

Vibrators are for everyone. And they can be a godsend in particular for people who are unable to reach clitoral orgasm easily from manual masturbation, oral sex, or penetrative intercourse alone. (They can also be useful for people with penises, and many are also suitable for nipple stimulation, though clitoral stimulation is the focus of this review.)

But buying sex toys can be an intimidating experience for newbies and experienced users alike, and not just due to the buyer’s shyness. High-quality sex toys are often expensive and nonreturnable, you have hundreds (if not thousands) of sex-toy models to choose from, and the criteria for what makes a good sex toy can be highly subjective. Determining what toy will work best for you based on reviews can be difficult because every person’s sexual response is different. Nobody wants to spend $100-plus on a toy that turns out to be a dud.

We’ve focused on toys that will work well for most people, including beginners. We’ve also included a budget option for anyone who is looking to test the waters before diving in.

Some people may have specific needs when it comes to shopping for vibrators, including folks who are:

• in menopause or perimenopause
• physically diverse or disabled
• trans, nonbinary, or gender diverse

Aging and its accompanying hormonal and physical changes can impact sexual function for anyone. Social stigma is a major barrier to sexual health, too, as senior sex is sometimes viewed as taboo, especially for women. However, researchers have found that using sex toys is an excellent way to maintain sexual health as a person ages, and the North American Menopause Society says that vibrators can help individuals experiencing sexual problems in menopause. Joan Price, sex educator and author of Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud About Senior Sex , explains in her guide to vibrators for seniors that some people may need ergonomic toys that are easier to grip, vibrators that don’t transmit vibrations strongly into the handle, and button consoles that are easy to see and press. Slimmer toys or dilators may feel more comfortable for insertion, and toys that provide intense, deep stimulation can be helpful for those experiencing diminished libido or sensitivity. Sex therapist Venessa Farn emphasized in our interview the importance of using high-quality lube for increased comfort, and she suggested that those who are new to sex toys might want to select a model that offers a wide range of vibrational intensities in order to determine their preferred level of stimulation.

Body type and ability can impact sexuality in various ways and affect the selection of a vibrator. People who have limited physical mobility or chronic physical pain may benefit from using ergonomic, adaptive, or assistive technology. Carrie Sarah Kaufman, writer, educator, and creator of Disabled Parts , explained in our interview how sex toys can be a complete game changer: “I rely on toys and accessories a lot during sex—solo and otherwise. Pillows, props, wedges, cuffs, and rope help me get myself into comfortable positions. Vibrators and dildos allow me to reach places I otherwise couldn’t, on my body and also on partners’ bodies. They help do the work of penetration, massage, or intense stimulation that I don’t have strength or endurance for.” So-called hands-free toys, harnesses, and remote-control-operated devices are other examples of how sex toys can be made more user-friendly, according to sex educator Helen Being.

Autistic activist Ruby Stone emphasized in our interview that sensory-processing issues can cause certain sounds, textures, or other stimuli to feel extremely unpleasant. It may be preferable to handle the options in person, if possible, before selecting a toy to purchase.

Anorgasmia, low libido, genital pain or discomfort, or limited genital function can be factors. In cases of anorgasmia or low libido, a tried-and-true toy such as the Magic Wand may be preferable. An anonymous source who experiences the chronic genital pain condition vaginismus told us that she enjoys external clitoral stimulation but does not enjoy penetrative toys, so some experimentation may be necessary to find the toys that provide the right mix of stimulation and comfort.

Body size is a consideration, too. People with large bellies, for example, may need toys with longer handles in order to extend reach during use.

Two primary factors may impact sex-toy selection for trans, nonbinary, and other gender-diverse people. The first is the use of hormones or gender-affirming surgeries that may impact genital function in a variety of ways. Transmasculine and transfeminine sources we spoke with, who wished to remain anonymous, said they have needed more lube to protect dry or delicate tissues after starting hormone therapy, as well as more intense or different types of stimulation (this is especially true for trans women who have had bottom surgery). The second is the psychological component of genital dysphoria experienced by some trans and nonbinary people. Trans women may feel more comfortable using vibrators rather than toys marketed as “male strokers,” as it is more gender-affirming. Conversely, some of our transmasculine sources expressed a preference for air-suction or mini stroker toys that can be penetrated over traditional clitoral vibrators.

We identified several vibrator features that were most important to our experts, our testers, and a general sample of sex-toy owners:

• sufficiently powerful stimulation to induce an orgasm (One tester listed her top three criteria as “strong vibrations, strong vibrations, strong vibrations!”)
• multiple or variable speeds
• a high-quality, easy-to-clean, nonporous body-safe material such as silicone or ABS plastic
• long battery life, whether the device is battery-operated or rechargeable
• user-friendliness and intuitive functions

If a toy was rechargeable, versatile, durable, waterproof, easy to clean , or covered by a solid warranty, we considered those attributes to be bonuses. Many people said they also desired an aesthetically pleasing toy with multiple color options.

Dealbreakers included poor-quality materials, a short battery life, a tendency to break easily, a lack of power, and a design that was awkward, inconvenient, or painful to use.

Across 10 years of testing, we’ve relied on 11 people with vulvas to compare clitoral toys. Those individuals, a mix of people who identify as cisgender, nonbinary, queer, heterosexual, and bisexual, range in age from early 20s to early 50s. Prior to participating in our tests, all of the panelists had used vibrators and were reliably able to achieve orgasm through vibrator use, though some were more experienced than others. We instructed our testers to use each toy themselves and to incorporate these toys into partner play when possible. We’ve also solicited long-term testing feedback from folks who bought their first vibrators based on the advice in this guide.

Because pleasure is highly subjective, our testers couldn’t possibly represent the needs and preferences of every person who may enjoy using a vibrator. To that end, we’ve interviewed more than a dozen experts and sex-toy users in order to provide additional toy recommendations , such as for vibrators that are easier to hold and operate, that are suitable for any genitalia, or that may be especially gender-affirming.

We’ve evaluated battery life by cycling the devices on and off for 20 minutes until they died, assessed overheating by letting them run for extended periods, and tested the function of waterproof vibrators. We’ve also tested interactions with lubricants .

We recommend the Magic Wand Rechargeable , an improved version of the ultra-powerful Magic Wand Original . The cordless Rechargeable model is well worth the additional investment, as it offers twice as many levels of stimulation as the Original version—including gentler options—plus an assortment of vibration patterns, an easy-to-clean silicone head, and a rechargeable battery that works with or without the power cord, with no significant decrease in power.

It works. Virtually all of our testers reported that the Magic Wand was the only toy in our test group that could consistently bring them to an intense climax quickly, intuitively, effectively, and predictably. In an essay published in the book Mothers Who Think , sex expert Susie Bright calls the Magic Wand a “miracle” because its power enables many users to have an orgasm within 60 seconds. Multiple academic research studies have found that prescribing the Magic Wand is one of the most effective therapies for women who struggle with chronic anorgasmia, or the inability to reach orgasm.

Our testers agreed, with comments like “It always makes me orgasm; never a letdown” and “Makes me climax every time.”

The battery is sufficiently long-lasting. The rechargeable battery offers both longevity and strength. We found that it lasted three and a half hours at maximum speed, spread out over a series of 20-minute intervals; it may last longer at lower speeds. If it runs out of power, you can connect it to the removable AC cord and continue using it.

It offers a variety of speeds and vibrations. The Magic Wand Rechargeable offers four intensity settings, two more than the Original model. There are three buttons: The first turns the vibrator on, the second cycles through four speeds ranging from relatively gentle to face-meltingly intense, and the third cycles through four vibration patterns (alternating long and short pulses, a slow long pulse, a fast short pulse, and a low-to-high “wave”). The console lights up with blue bars to indicate the strength of the vibration. People who might have previously needed to use the Original version through a blanket or pants may find the lower, gentler settings of the Rechargeable model to be more comfortable.

It’s relatively easy to grip. Testers reported that the long handle makes the Magic Wand comfortable to hold for long periods of time without hand cramping or numbness. The switch sits high enough on the handle that testers were unlikely to switch it off accidentally during use (which was an issue with some of the smaller rechargeable models).

Some testers said they disliked the texture of the Original version’s white vinyl head. The Rechargeable model features a softer, smoother silicone head, which is much easier to clean and may feel more comfortable against the body. Nonporous and less prone to discoloration, the Rechargeable model’s silicone head eliminates any previous concerns about phthalates, a plasticizer in the Original version’s vinyl head.

It can be used elsewhere on the body, too. Another great aspect of this toy is its versatility: It can stimulate nipples and penises as well as vulvas, and it can convert into a vibrating, insertable G-spot or P-spot stimulator or a penile-masturbation sleeve when you purchase and add one of many attachments designed to fit over the head. It also works well as a whole-body massager, and some owners report that it can help soothe menstrual cramps. In the unlikely event that you buy this toy and hate it as a clitoral vibrator, you can always use it on your back.

Another advantage of the Rechargeable version over the Original model is that it runs quieter—it still emits a loud hum, but in our tests it was quiet enough that when we put the toy on a bed and closed the door, it wasn’t audible through the door in the same way the Original model was.

Distributor Vibratex offers a one-year warranty for the Magic Wand Rechargeable. Many of our testers have reported that the Original version has stood up to daily use over the course of many years.

Flaws but not dealbreakers

The primary complaints we’ve received from our testers about the Magic Wand Rechargeable are related to its heft (the Rechargeable model is 13 inches long with a nearly 2.5-inch-wide head, and weighs more than a pound), which can make it difficult to use in certain positions during partnered intercourse. (The rechargeable Magic Wand Mini is a smaller, less powerful version of this model, which some people may prefer for use with a partner.)

Unlike some of the other toys we tested, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is not waterproof. This makes it a bit harder to clean, as you cannot submerge it, but you can easily wash the silicone cap.

The Magic Wand Rechargeable has an automatic shutoff function at the 20-minute mark, which can be disruptive if you don’t expect it (one of our testers thought the toy had run out of battery life when this happened). The manufacturer recommends letting the toy cool off after 20 minutes to prolong the motor’s life, but you can continue to use it at this point by simply turning it back on again. Considering how intense the vibrations are, many people are unlikely to want to use it for more than 20 minutes straight regardless.

The Magic Wand Rechargeable’s control panel is slightly less intuitive and less easy to use than the dual switch of the Original model, but it’s still fairly straightforward. You could accidentally hit the wrong button during play, but switching back to the correct mode is easy enough.

And, of course, you have aesthetics to consider. A beautiful, elegant toy this is not, but it gets the job done. One tester put it best: “No [it’s not attractive], but as a sexual health academic, I know that this is the ‘OG’ of vibrators, and I respect it for keeping its original, functional design.” The Rechargeable version, though a little sleeker, has basically the same appearance as the Original model.

If our pick is unavailable, or if you are specifically interested in a plug-in vibrator, we recommend the Magic Wand Plus . Typically retailing for about $55 less than the Magic Wand Rechargeable, the Plus model is basically identical in function and appearance, with the same vibration power, four intensity levels, and easy-to-clean silicone head.

In contrast to the Rechargeable version, the Plus model lacks vibration patterns and cordless functionality—but considering that the majority of our testers have reported that they don’t use the different vibration patterns on their vibrators, the absence of that feature in particular may be no great loss. The only other significant difference between the two models is that the Plus model is about 4 ounces lighter than the Rechargeable version (the toys without their cords weigh about 17 and 21 ounces, respectively), so the Plus model is slightly easier to maneuver and hold.

Although we did not observe a significant difference in the vibration sensations between the Rechargeable and Plus models, reviewer Epiphora did : “The Magic Wand Plus feels somewhat sharper, buzzier, and stronger, particularly on the higher settings. I asked Vibratex about this, and they theorized that the added weight of the rechargeable battery in the MWR [Magic Wand Rechargeable] slows the motor a bit, creating rumblier, slightly subdued vibes.” We did not find any difference in vibration strength dramatic enough to be a make-or-break factor in our decision between the two models.

This toy is an excellent option for those who are fans of the Magic Wand Original and wish to upgrade to a silicone head and more vibration settings but don’t mind keeping the cord. The Plus version typically costs only $10 more than the Original model.

Like the Magic Wand Original, the Magic Wand Plus has a 6-foot-long AC cord, but unlike on the Original version, it is removable (so you can store it separately and replace it if necessary; again, the toy doesn’t work without being plugged in). You can purchase replacement chargers separately, so you are no longer forced to toss the entire toy if the cord wears out, as is the case with the Original model.

The small, sleek Satisfyer Purple Pleasure vibrator is a steal at a typical price of $30 (a similar model from a different manufacturer that we’ve tested retails for $90), yet it makes no sacrifices in quality. With its aesthetically pleasing streamlined shape, waterproof silicone body, and USB rechargeable battery, this toy looks and feels like a more expensive “luxury” vibrator.

The Purple Pleasure’s vibrations are impressively powerful for its small size, and its intuitive two-button control panel easily guides the user through five vibration strengths and 10 vibration patterns. We recommend this toy to newbies and experienced vibrator users alike as an inexpensive yet high-quality basic vibrator. One of our testers told us that after a few weeks of regular use, she had “already recommended it to several people based on how awesome it is and the price.”

Measuring 4 inches long overall by 1.75 inches at its widest point, the Purple Pleasure consists of a 3-inch-long body made from velvety silicone, plus a 1-inch-long handle made from hard ABS plastic (which helps dampen vibrations to the hand to some degree). Our testers found that the toy fits nicely in the palm of the hand and is small enough to tuck into a travel bag or hide in a drawer. The tapered oval shape fits nicely against the vulva, with vibrations focused at the tip of the toy for clitoral stimulation. The toy is also flat enough (about 1 inch thick) for easy positioning between bodies during intercourse.

The body of the toy is silicone coated rather than solid silicone, so it has a firmness that more effectively transmits vibrations from the internal motor, eliminating the dampening effect we’ve experienced with some solid-silicone vibrators. This matte coating has a soft, suede-like texture that feels pleasant against the skin, though we recommend using it with plenty of water-based lube to reduce friction. You can easily wash the Purple Pleasure with gentle soap and water after use, as the toy has an IPX7 waterproof rating (it can safely remain submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes). This also means you can safely use the toy in a bathtub or shower.

The Purple Pleasure’s control panel consists of a pair of buttons located above the handle on the top of the toy. Pressing the top button for a few seconds turns the vibe on and off, and the same button allows you to cycle forward through five vibration strengths and 10 patterns. The bottom button’s sole purpose is to cycle backward through the aforementioned settings—a lifesaver when you wish to revisit a prior setting without cycling through 14 other settings along the way.

The vibrations are intense and rumbly; we found the level 5 setting to be akin to level 2 on our top pick, the Magic Wand Rechargeable . The Purple Pleasure may not satisfy you if you’re accustomed to reaching orgasm at the Magic Wand’s highest levels, but it packs quite a punch for its small size, and our testers easily achieved orgasm while using it.

The Purple Pleasure recharges via a magnetic USB charging cord. Satisfyer claims that the toy can operate for up to two hours after three hours of charge time, but the actual time may vary depending on the strength at which you use the toy. We recommend periodically charging the toy to preserve its longevity, rather than allowing the battery to run down completely.

Satisfyer offers a 15-year warranty on all toys purchased through the company’s website. There is a catch, however: You must ship a defective vibrator back to the company—at your expense—in order to get it replaced.

The Dame Aer is the first air-suction toy that we’ve liked better than our previous picks from Womanizer (the first brand to offer this technology). It’s significantly smaller and narrower than the Womanizer Classic we also like , and it’s made from a softer silicone material that’s more comfortable against the body. Most notably, of all the suction toys we’ve tried, the Aer produces a sensation that feels most similar to oral sex, according to our testers. The nozzle’s opening is larger, with a thinner, softer rim, and it creates a sensation that is more gentle and diffuse in comparison with other suction vibrators, which can feel uncomfortably intense at times.

At around 2.86 ounces, the Aer is about an ounce lighter than the Womanizer Classic. It’s also shorter and narrower, at 4.66 inches long and 1.46 inches at its widest point. Although shorter toys can sometimes cause wrist cramping due to a need for a longer reach, the nozzle of the Aer is more dramatically angled toward the body, making it ergonomic to use. Unlike the Womanizer Classic, which is widest toward the nozzle and has a narrow handle, the Aer has a narrow head that allows it to slip easily between the labia for positioning against the clitoris. This sleek, angled shape also makes the toy convenient to use for clitoral stimulation during intercourse, as it doesn’t take up a lot of space.

The Aer is extremely simple to charge and operate (one tester described it as having “zero learning curve”), with a magnetic USB charger port at its base and three buttons on the top of the toy. The bottom button turns the toy off and on (long hold) and cycles through five vibration patterns (press). The upper buttons move the intensity up and down through five levels. According to the manufacturer, the Aer can fully charge in two hours and can operate at the highest setting for up to one and a half hours on a full charge. In our testing, we were able to achieve a full charge from a drained battery in only an hour and 16 minutes—and the toy was still going strong after we left it on at maximum speed for two hours.

The Aer is completely waterproof, and its exterior is made from a single piece of soft matte silicone. Its suede-like texture prevents it from becoming slippery when wet, but unfortunately it can also cause the toy to pick up dust and hair if it is not stored properly (you can easily resolve the problem by giving the Aer a quick rinse in water). The rim of the nozzle—thin and flexible compared with the thicker, firmer nozzles of other suction vibrators we’ve tried—forms a nearly airtight seal without requiring the user to apply a lot of pressure, and it feels gentle against skin. Because the toy is enveloped in seamless silicone, it is quick and easy to clean.

Compared with the design of similar models we’ve considered, the Aer’s oval nozzle opening is a bit larger (measuring 0.8 by 0.5 inches), creating more diffuse airflow while maintaining a tight seal due to the soft, flexible rim. Toys with narrower nozzles have the tendency to provide clitoral stimulation that can feel too intense even on lower settings, while toys with larger nozzle openings don’t seal properly, or require uncomfortable pressure in order to create the seal. Our testers reported that the sensations of the Aer were more gentle, diffuse, and even “cloud-like,” more accurately replicating the sensations of oral sex than other models we’ve tested in the past. The five levels of intensity and five suction patterns also create a wide range of sensations.

Although our testers universally loved the Aer, this toy has one potential dealbreaking drawback: It is particularly noisy in comparison with the Womanizer’s suction vibrators, which are virtually silent. The Aer produces a jarring rattling noise when you first turn it on, but the loudness subsides once the toy is in use. If you prefer a toy that makes as little noise as possible, the Womanizer Classic may be a better choice for you.

The Aer comes with a 60-day return policy (for store credit) if purchased from the Dame website, and it is covered by a three-year warranty.

If you prefer gentler, pinpointed stimulation, the Lelo Dot may be the best choice for you. The teardrop-shaped Dot looks a bit odd at first glance, but its accessible design offers focused clitoral stimulation. We recommend the Dot as an alternative to our picks from Magic Wand for people who prefer extremely intense clitoral stimulation, as its concentrated vibrations feel much stronger than they would if spread across the surface of a larger toy.

The Dot features a tapered tip (measuring an eighth of an inch at its narrowest point) that offers pinpointed, rather than broad, clitoral stimulation. Made from soft, flexible matte silicone, the Dot delivers vibrations that are intensely concentrated at the pointed tip of the toy, with relatively little vibration resonating into the hard-plastic loop-shaped handle. As a result, it’s easy to apply a lot of intense stimulation precisely where you want.

With eight vibration settings, this stimulation can range from gentle to extremely intense, and a little goes a long way. It’s also a good toy to use in tandem with penetrative intercourse—it is small and easy for either partner to hold and position.

The Dot is fairly straightforward to charge and operate. A USB charging cord inserts into a port on the base of the toy, and a two-hour charge will give you approximately two hours of play. The vibrator has three buttons on the underside of the handle: one to turn it off and on and switch between eight different patterns, one to increase intensity, and one to decrease intensity.

The toy has an IPX7 waterproof rating (meaning it can withstand being submerged in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes) and is made from molded silicone and plastic, so it’s relatively easy to clean . It comes with a one-year warranty , plus a 10-year guarantee that allows you to purchase a replacement model for 50% of the original price should your toy break in the decade following the initial year of coverage.

The Dot also is one of the more accessible toys we have tested. Vibrators with “loop” handles like the Dot’s are easier to grip, and toys that don’t vibrate too much in the handle are gentler on hands.

Wand-style vibrators

If you want a Magic Wand but prefer to spend less: The Magic Wand Original remains an excellent budget alternative to our top pick, the Magic Wand Rechargeable , though most people who want a corded toy are likely to prefer the upgrades that our runner-up pick, the Magic Wand Plus , offers.

If you think a smaller Magic Wand would suit you better: Measuring 9.6 inches and weighing 9.7 ounces, the rechargeable Magic Wand Mini is over 3 inches shorter and 11 ounces lighter than the Magic Wand Rechargeable. Unlike the full-size version, it cannot function while plugged in and charging, and it has only three settings, compared with the Rechargeable model’s four. Though the Mini’s smaller size makes it more travel-friendly, less cumbersome, and somewhat easier to use in partner play, our testers said it felt significantly less powerful. The maximum settings on the two toys are comparable, at 6,000 rpm on the Mini and 6,300 rpm on the Rechargeable. But in use, the third setting on the Mini feels closer to the second setting on the Rechargeable.

If you’re looking for even more vibrations than the Magic Wand offers: The Doxy Original is an upgraded alternative to the corded Magic Wand models, offering comparably powerful—if not more powerful—vibrations with approximately twice as many intensity levels (ranging from mild to extreme), an aesthetically pleasing design, and an extra-long, 9-foot-10 cord. However, this model is typically around $30 more expensive than our runner-up pick, the Magic Wand Plus , which is a better value overall. Like the Magic Wand, the Doxy Original has one year of warranty coverage.

Another palm-size option

If you prefer a smaller vibrator with extra oomph: The Dame Pom is a solid choice. We found this vibrator to be a nice upgrade to our budget pick, the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure; its flexible form should work well for a variety of anatomies (a trans woman who’d recently recovered from bottom surgery recommended this model to us, saying that it helped her “get [her] sexuality back”). This palm-size vibrator is made of squishy, soft, pliable silicone, with a tapered shape featuring a “nub” that sits on the clitoris. The toy’s vibrations, while not as strong as those from most wand toys, are sufficiently powerful and rumbly. One minor drawback is that two of the control buttons are on the underside of the toy rather than on the top, but this is by no means a dealbreaker.

Suction vibrators

If you want an ultra-quiet suction vibrator: The Womanizer Classic is an excellent suction toy, though we prefer the price and features of the similar Dame Aer . Womanizer pioneered this air-suction technology, and the Classic model offers the perfect blend of elegant form and function, with intuitive controls and eight levels of stimulation intensity. The Classic toy also operates more quietly than the Aer vibrator and has a five-year warranty.

If you want a high-performance model that costs less than our pick: Approximately the shape and size of an asthma inhaler, the Unbound Puff is small, quiet, powerful, and—at $48—budget-friendly. A transmasculine person taking testosterone recommended this model to us, noting that the larger opening made it comfortable to use with a larger clitoris. Although this model is less expensive and quieter than the Dame Aer, we ultimately preferred the Aer’s soft and flexible opening for gentler, more versatile stimulation.

If you want a suction vibrator that (no kidding) can double as a night-light: Consider the Osuga Cuddly Bird . It’s one of our favorite suction toys to emerge in recent years, but it has a significantly shorter warranty than the Dame Aer (just one year versus the Aer’s three). It is also bulkier than the Aer and thus less convenient for use during partner sex. The Cuddly Bird is quieter than the Aer, however, and it is made from a soft, squishy silicone that is comfortable to hold. It comes with a futuristic-looking, illuminated charging dock. Although this toy offers excellent suction stimulation, we were less impressed by its plain vibration function, which our testers said was not powerful enough.

If you want a “rose toy”: We like Inya The Rose from NS Novelties. The “rose toy” became a viral sensation on TikTok for its affordable price and powerful air-suction technology similar to that of our suction-vibrator pick, the Dame Aer . At least three manufacturers make a seemingly identical version of this toy, and you can find countless lookalikes on Amazon, typically selling for $30 to $60. We tested Inya The Rose (a little over $45 at this writing), one of two models sold by a reputable sex-toy retailer. Our testers loved the powerful strength of its three vibration levels, and they found that the four vibration patterns enhance stimulation (instead of being a useless gimmick). Nevertheless, we’ve concluded that the Dame Aer is the better choice overall. Although the Aer is pricier and noisier than the Inya rose toy, the large mouth of the Aer makes that toy gentler and easier to position on the clitoris, and it offers five levels of suction strength instead of the Inya rose toy’s three. One tester found that the buttons on the Aer are easier to operate, as well, allowing you to scale intensity up or down one step at a time, rather than having to cycle through seven settings to arrive at your preferred level. The Aer is also covered by a longer warranty (three years, versus one year for the Inya rose toy).

A rabbit-style vibrator

If you want both internal and external stimulation: The Shegasm 5 Star Rabbit is a worthwhile buy. Although this dual-function toy cannot strictly be classified as a clitoral vibrator, it was one of our testers’ favorite models overall. The 5 Star Rabbit combines clitoral suction similar to that of the Womanizer Classic, with a unique thumping mechanism on the shaft of the toy for internal stimulation. Two testers actually preferred the suction mechanism on this vibrator to the Womanizer Classic’s, finding that the 5 Star Rabbit’s larger opening transmitted sensations in a more even, pleasurable way. Those testers deemed this toy a “new favorite,” with one describing it as “unlike any toy I’ve experienced before and definitely an amazing experience.” The other loved this toy’s ability to create “a hands-free blended orgasm.” The tester continued, “The suction held it in place, and it did all the work for me!” The toy has a five-year warranty.

You can find plenty of vibrators that cost less than $100 (including some of our picks), and someone who is new to vibrators may find a less expensive model useful to help determine whether the general sensation is something they enjoy. But for people who already know that they like using a vibrator, our $100-plus picks are reliable and well worth the investment. All are body safe , easy to clean , and long-lasting.

Since 2014 we’ve tested a handful of sub-$100 vibrators , finding many of them severely lacking in some respect. For example, we discovered that the Je Joue Mimi worked best on only one setting, and even then it produced uneven vibrations. The Satisfyer Pro 2 , which stimulated with suction and seemed like a promising competitor for the Dame Aer , caused our testers occasional discomfort. And owners report that the inexpensive Wahl All Body Powerful Therapeutic Massager breaks easily.

Body-safe toys are:

• Nonporous: Such devices are less likely to trap bacteria, viruses, or fungi after proper cleaning .
• Nontoxic: High-quality toys do not off-gas or leach chemicals that the body’s mucous membranes can absorb.

Materials considered to be body safe include 100% silicone (some toys that manufacturers bill as silicone are made from a blend of silicone and other materials, so you should make sure that the toy is actually 100% silicone), borosilicate glass, metals such as stainless steel, and hard, nonporous plastics such as ABS and lucite.

The presence of possibly toxic chemicals in sex toys has been a source of significant concern in the sex-toy-aficionado community. Sex toys are not well researched—beyond this study by the Swedish Chemicals Agency —or regulated by any consumer-safety agencies. The researchers behind a 2006 report (PDF) name five hazardous substances that they found in the studied sex toys, and they conclude that “normal” usage of the tested toys (which they define as 15 minutes once a week) is safe for most people. However, the anus and rectum are delicate mucous membranes that are highly absorptive and prone to irritation, and many people use their toys more frequently than 15 minutes per week. For this reason, we decided to err on the side of caution and choose toys made from high-quality, nonporous materials for this guide.

Keeping sex toys clean is extremely important for helping to prevent sexually transmitted infections, especially if you share your toys with partners. We recommend that you cover your toys with a condom when sharing them with partners, especially if it’s someone with whom you are not fluid-bonded (that is, you typically use barriers for other types of sexual activity).

If you’re using a toy with a condom, make sure that the condom covers the entire surface that comes in contact with your genitals. The condom should be thin enough for you to see, feel, and press the buttons through the barrier. Do not use oil-based lubricants with condoms, and make sure to remove and dispose of the condom directly after use. Do not reuse condoms with toys, as that practice is unsanitary and a sure way to encourage the condom to break.

Waterproof toys made from nonporous materials such as silicone and stainless steel can tolerate washing with soap and warm water. If you have non-waterproof toys, carefully wipe them clean with a solution of soap and warm water. Spray-on toy cleanser can be useful for toys that you cannot submerge.

Generally you don’t need to disinfect toys that only one person uses or that stay covered with condoms. Some nonporous, nonmotorized toys can go into the dishwasher without soap for steam sanitizing. Alternatively, you can boil most nonporous, nonmotorized toys in hot water. You can soak waterproof toys of all stripes in a 10% bleach solution for 10 minutes to disinfect them, then thoroughly wash them with soap and water afterward.

We recommend storing toys in boxes or pouches to keep them dust-free and putting them in a cool, dark place where they will not have exposure to direct sunlight. Many high-end manufacturers include cloth pouches or attractive storage boxes with their toys.

Most quality sex-toy manufacturers offer limited warranties or guarantees in the event that your vibrator breaks within a certain amount of time (typically one to three years). To make a claim on your warranty, you need to purchase the toy from a licensed retailer (due to problems with counterfeit toys being sold on Amazon and elsewhere ) and save the receipt.

A note on lubricants

When you’re shopping for a sex toy, investing in a quality personal lubricant is also a good idea. Lubricant eases penetration of all types, increases comfort and sexual pleasure, and reduces friction and genital irritation. Using lubricant with toys is an especially important consideration for people experiencing hormonal shifts due to aging, menopause, or other life changes, as well as for those taking estrogen or testosterone as gender-affirming therapy, which can lead to genital dryness or increased fragility of genital tissues. Even people who produce abundant natural lubrication may benefit from using lube for additional comfort.

If you wish to use a lubricant with your toy (as experts often recommend), keep in mind that only water-based lube is safe to use with all types of toys. Oil-based lubricants are not just unsafe for use with condoms but can also interact badly with toys made of soft plastic or rubber, causing the devices to disintegrate or to leach chemicals (PDF) . Silicone lubricants are great for anal play, but unfortunately they interact negatively with silicone toys.

There is some controversy surrounding the impact of silicone lube on silicone toys, so we decided to conduct our own test. We applied a quarter-sized amount of Überlube-brand silicone lubricant to a patch toward the base of nine different toys, rubbed it into the surface of each toy for one minute to simulate friction, and then left the toys to sit for an hour.

At the end of this experiment, we discovered that the lube had an effect on every single toy. In the best instances, the patch exposed to lube appeared slightly raised; in the worst cases, the lube completely removed the finish from the toy, causing it to become gummy, sticky, and blistered. The staff at Early to Bed replicated our test and found similar results.

In some cases you can scrub off the stickiness, but we do not recommend using silicone lubricants with silicone toys because we don’t really know how such lubricants will affect the porosity and integrity of the toys over time.

The Dame Com wand vibrator has an appealing ergonomic shape (it curves toward the body), as well as an easy-to-clean all-silicone body. However, we did not find its vibrations to be as powerful as those of the Magic Wand Rechargeable , and the vibrations are strong all through the handle, making this toy unpleasant to hold for an extended period of time.

The corded Doxy Number 3 is a smaller, quieter version of the Doxy Original . Although this sleek wand is both aesthetically pleasing and powerful, it costs quite a bit more than our Magic Wand picks and the original Doxy.

The Goop Wellness Double-Sided Wand Vibrator is an excellent beginner pick, functioning as two toys in one for under $100. This beautifully designed double-sided toy offers two distinct types of stimulation: The round, Magic Wand–like head offers broad, diffuse stimulation, while the pointed end offers more targeted clitoral stimulation similar to that of the Maude Vibe . Our testers found that the sensations from the round end, while powerful, are not as intense as the Magic Wand’s and may feel too diffuse to get some people over the edge. Although the pointed end can work as an insertable toy, for our testers it was not an ideal shape for G-spot stimulation; still, the pointed end is an excellent clitoral vibrator. One potential drawback is that the entire toy transmits strong vibrations when either motor is switched on, which may irritate the user’s hands while they’re holding it for a prolonged time.

The Le Wand Original is almost virtually identical to the Magic Wand Rechargeable in both function and appearance, though it offers a few unique selling points, namely 10 levels of vibration instead of four, a flexible neck, and three color options (white, silver/gray, and pink). The trade-off is that it’s $50 more expensive, and it lacks the quick on/off switch of the Magic Wand Rechargeable. Level 10 on the Le Wand Original does not offer significantly more intensity than level 4 on the Magic Wand Rechargeable, and this toy’s vibrations feel somewhat less rumbly. Although this model is an excellent wand vibrator, we don’t recommend it over our top pick unless color options are important to you. Like the Magic Wand Rechargeable, the Le Wand Original is covered by a one-year warranty.

We considered the rechargeable Unbound Ollie as an inexpensive alternative to the Magic Wand Rechargeable. This wand vibrator is definitely more aesthetically pleasing and easier to clean than the Magic Wand, as it’s completely coated in soft silicone in an appealing shade of pastel turquoise. However, our testers said the vibrations were less powerful than those of both the Magic Wand and the Doxy Original; they also discovered that the Ollie’s flexible head, which initially seemed like an improvement on those of the other wands we tested, had some serious flaws. One tester, who has used the Magic Wand as her go-to toy for five years, reported that after a few uses of the Ollie, she “had it pressed up against [her] clit, hard but not like ... Hulk hard,” and “the ‘stem’ between the head and the wand seemed to have snapped.” The tester continued, “It still vibrates, but it’s not connecting enough to make it functional.” In reviews , buyers have reported similar problems, saying, “I used it like 5 times and then it broke” and “really good but broke after 5 uses.”

The Wahl All Body Powerful Therapeutic Massager is a popular budget alternative to the Magic Wand that features intense power concentrated in a smaller head, but owners report that it breaks more easily.

We also looked at some smaller, battery-operated or rechargeable alternatives to the Magic Wand, including the Lelo Smart Wand (now superseded by the Smart Wand 2 , which we haven’t tested), the Mystic Wand (currently unavailable), and the Palm Power Massager . None could surpass the Magic Wand in terms of both time-tested power and value.

We tried but dismissed a budget suction-vibration toy that’s a top seller on Amazon. At a fraction of the price of the Dame Aer and the Womanizer Classic , the Adorime Bita is a very good value for a rechargeable toy. However, our tester found it somewhat lacking: “While it felt like the Womanizer [Classic] fit perfectly against my clitoris, the Adorime’s open, round head was less effective at creating the same powerful suction effect.”

The Beso Plus was our least favorite of the clitoral suction/G-spot dual-stimulator vibrators we’ve tried. Our tester found the “mouth” of the toy to be uncomfortably firm and irritating.

The Biird Namii is somewhat large and cumbersome, and its vibrations are weaker than those of similar models we tested.

Like the Shegasm 5 Star Rabbit we like , the Inya Sonnet provides dual stimulation, offering both clitoral suction and internal vibration. At $55, it’s half the price as the Shegasm model, although it lacks the thumping mechanism that makes the 5 Star Rabbit a standout. The Sonnet is a fine toy, but our tester preferred the 5 Star Rabbit overall. The 5 Star Rabbit is also covered by a longer warranty (five years versus the Sonnet’s one).

The Satisfyer Pro 2 uses suction technology similar to that of the Womanizer models. However, we found that the nozzle on the Satisfyer is made of a harder material and is less contoured to the shape of the clitoris, making this toy less comfortable and more difficult to position correctly to achieve proper suction.

The Womanizer OG is a wand with a larger suction mouth designed for internal (G-spot) stimulation, though it can also be used externally. Unfortunately, the suction feels somewhat weak; we think this model does not live up to its $200 price tag. However, some customer reviewers who say they have large clitorises, prefer more gentle stimulation, or like a longer handle say they’ve found this toy to be good for external stimulation.

The Womanizer Premium is significantly more expensive than the Classic; we’re not convinced that its added “autopilot” and “smart silence” features are worth an additional $60 or so.

Vibrators for precise stimulation

We tested the CalExotics Tulip and Jasmine vibrators. The Tulip features a rolling ball bearing at the flat tip of the toy, which feels quite strong against a fingertip but provides less-intense stimulation when pressed against a clitoris. Positioning it is complicated, and our testers said it did not provide enough stimulation to be satisfying. The Jasmine has a small, flexible, vibrating “tongue” set in a loop that is supposed to encircle the clitoris. Though this toy provides powerful, focused stimulation, we found such pinpoint stimulation to be more intense and easier to position with toys like the Lelo Dot and the Dame Aer .

The Inmi Vibrassage series features three vibrator models, each of which uses three individual tendrils to stimulate the clitoris. The two models we tested, the Fondle and the Caress, each have one stationary vibrating leg and two legs that rotate in circular motions to stimulate the clitoris. We preferred the longer handle of the Fondle, which made it easier and more ergonomically comfortable to use. Both testers who tried these toys said that using them involved a learning curve, and while one tester enjoyed the novel sensations and achieved orgasm using them, our other tester could not, even after multiple sessions. We would recommend these models, which are typically priced around $90, to experienced sex-toy connoisseurs looking for something different, rather than to newbies shopping for their first vibrator.

Before the Lelo Dot , we recommended the Zumio S as our also-great pick for precise stimulation. We still love the stimulation that this toy provides, but we have encountered some issues with battery longevity during long-term testing. Although Zumio covers the toy with a two-year warranty, all three units we’ve long-term tested have exhibited a decline in battery life toward the end of their warranty period. Additionally, the Zumio S—which is designed to be stored in its charger—has a longer-than-usual charging period (16 hours). After two years of occasional use, one Zumio S we tested barely retained a lasting charge if we charged it for less than the full 16 hours, and even on a full charge, it stopped running after 1 hour 45 minutes—well under the promised two-hour run time.

We tested the Zalo Bess as an alternative to the Zumio S. Like the Zumio S, the Zalo Bess has a narrow tip for precise stimulation. It comes with three attachment tips, which in our tests did not produce significant functional differences. The Bess’s handle can technically serve as an insertable G-spot vibrator, too, but we found that feature impractical and therefore chose not to test it. Although this toy is a great value and provides pinpoint stimulation similar to that of the Zumio S, its primary drawback is its control panel. Most vibrators offer multiple vibration levels that you can cycle through before the pattern settings begin, or a separate button for the pattern settings altogether, but the Bess has three levels of continuous vibration strengths mixed in between five vibration patterns at random. If you are not interested in the patterns, cycling through this hodgepodge of settings to find your desired level of vibration can be confusing.

Vibrators under $75

In an earlier version of this guide, we named the CalExotics Silver Bullet as our budget pick. Subsequently we concluded that the pricier but cordless Satisfyer Purple Pleasure offered stronger vibrations, was made of better-quality materials, and was more aesthetically pleasing.

While the Luna Ava vibrator is a steal at $30, don’t expect it to replace your Magic Wand anytime soon. We found its vibrations to be more buzzy than rumbly, and the 20 different settings are a nuisance given that there is no back-or-forth button—you have to click through all 20 to return to the one you started with.

The Maude Vibe was our previous budget pick. We loved its simple, utilitarian design and powerful vibrations (with three intensity modes), as well as its relatively affordable price. Unfortunately, two long-term testers encountered issues with the toy’s lithium-ion battery bricking within or just after the one-year warranty period, particularly if they didn’t keep it consistently charged.

While the thick, long Rocks Off Chaiamo vibrator is powerful, we found it generally worked better as an insertable toy than for clitoral stimulation. While the toy’s length makes it ergonomically friendly, the vibrations tended to be more diffuse, offering less focused stimulation and causing it to be uncomfortable to hold.

The Satisfyer Dark Desire is quite similar in size and power to our budget pick, the Purple Pleasure, but we found the wider tip to be less convenient for positioning and the textured silicone to be more irritating than pleasurable. We loved the strong vibrations and easy-to-hold loop handle on the brand’s White Temptation but found the loaf-like shape to be awkward to use, preferring the tapered silhouette of the Purple Pleasure.

Satisfyer’s Ultra Power Bullet line includes eight models. We tried the 6 , which is similar in shape and size to a fountain pen. Unfortunately, we found the toy’s vibrations to be a bit buzzy compared to those of the rumbly and similarly shaped We-Vibe Tango (see below). And the Ultra Power Bullet 6’s handle vibrates to an unpleasant degree.

The Unbound Pep is a cute and affordable palm-sized vibrator, but unfortunately we found that the thick silicone caused the vibrations to feel “dampened” and not as focused and powerful as those from similar models, including the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure we recommend and the Dame Pom we like .

We still love the tiny but super-powerful We-Vibe Tango . It’s a good value for a rechargeable, bullet-style toy that is small enough to fit in a pocket but capable of delivering the rumbly intensity of a much larger vibrator. Although we recommend this model as a starter vibrator, for some of our testers the hard plastic became slippery and difficult to hold when it came in contact with lubricant. This was not the case with the less expensive Satisfyer Purple Pleasure.

Other vibrators

The tiny, egg-shaped Blush Novelties Aria Flutter Tongue is adorable, but we found the Evolved Tongue Tied to be a better overall choice among tongue-style vibrators (see below). The small, flickering “tongue” on the Aria Flutter Tongue is inset in a mouth similar to that of a suction vibrator such that the tongue’s motion isn’t hindered by excess pressure, but overall we found this toy’s size and speed more irritating than pleasurable.

Dame’s original Eva vibrator was appealing in concept as a “hands-free, strap-free, non-intrusive couples’ vibrator.” Unfortunately, our testers found that it didn’t stay in place well: “The only issue with the thing is its strapless design, which means that during PIV [penis-in-vagina intercourse] the thing just falls right off unless you’re flat on your back and trying your best not to move too much. Too much focusing on keeping the toy in place takes attention away from the act itself.” Others found it too weak and “buzzy” to be satisfying.

We found the second-generation Dame Eva an improvement on the original: It is smaller, easier to position, and more powerful. But it still has the same issues with being “buzzy” and slipping around during partner play. We found that it stayed in place best during the cowgirl (person with vagina on top) position. Couples looking for a little added stimulation during intercourse may enjoy this toy for that purpose.

The Dame Kip is a perfectly effective and elegant lipstick-style vibrator, but it is usually more expensive than the equally powerful Satisfyer Purple Pleasure .

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 can be a bit of a learning curve in terms of optimal positioning when using this toy, as applying too much pressure may cause the tongue’s motion to stall.

We decided to test the Fun Factory Volta on the recommendation of esteemed sex-toy blogger Epiphora, who gave it a glowing review and selected it as one of the best sex toys of 2018 . Both testers who tried the Volta enjoyed the dual vibrating tips of this versatile toy that has a loop handle for easy holding, and they said it was an excellent vibrator, but they did not think it was better than the similarly priced Dame Aer or Zumio S , both of which also offer unusual mechanisms of their own. The Volta definitely involves a bit of a learning curve, and it’s probably a better choice for advanced sex-toy users. Finding the ideal placement for the two vibrating tips requires some trial and error—an intriguing experiment for the sex-toy fan who has tried it all and is craving something new, but a frustrating experience for those who desire a cut-to-the-chase, intuitive toy.

The vibrations of the Je Joue Mimi felt jerky and choppy at the lower speeds and caused the motor to make wheezing noises. This toy works best if you use it at its maximum setting, provided that the maximum setting is not too strong or weak for your personal tastes.

Lelo’s Siri 2 is a fine toy, but it’s a bit expensive compared with the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure, which is more streamlined and less gimmicky. We also tested Lelo’s classic hard-plastic Nea 2 , which is plenty powerful for its tiny size but does not compare to the We-Vibe Tango and its ultra-intense vibrations.

We chose not to test the since-discontinued Unbound Squish because it appeared to be very similar to the Minna Limon , which also offers programmable stimulation and squeeze-pressure technology. Our tester who tried Minna’s similar Ola toy (currently unavailable) found this technology to be more gimmicky than innovative.

A favorite of sex-toy blogger Epiphora , the bejeweled pastel Pillow Talk Sassy is affordably priced and offers powerful vibrations that can work for either clitoral or G-spot stimulation. Although our testers liked the sleek shape and size of this model, in our tests it generally worked better as a G-spot toy than as a clitoral vibrator. The Sassy’s sibling, the Pillow Talk Flirty bullet, is designed specifically for clitoral stimulation, but we found that its vibrations were not as strong as those of our budget pick.

We were intrigued by the Pipedream Fantasy for Her because it offers a different type of stimulation than any other vibrator we’ve tested. You place a cup attached at the end of the toy (either round or oval) over the vulva to provide broad suction stimulation, while the internal “tongue” flicks back and forth over the clitoris. The handle of this toy also works well as an insertable G-spot vibrator. Although the Fantasy for Her provides a unique and very pleasurable form of stimulation, we encountered a difficult learning curve when figuring out how best to position and operate the toy for the ideal amount of both clitoral stimulation and suction. The four buttons on the control console are a bit confusing and challenging to use: One turns on the tongue, one turns on the vibrator within the G-spot handle, one activates and cycles through three levels of suction, and the last one either releases the suction or causes it to pulse. In our tests it was sometimes necessary for us to press a button multiple times to activate the desired function.

We decided not to test the original Smile Makers’s The Billionaire because it required one AA battery for four hours of use. The redesigned version has a rechargeable battery, but costs $20 more than the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure , and is covered by a lesser warranty.

The Tenga Iroha Temari is an exceptionally cool-looking vibrator inspired by traditional Japanese textile designs, with a unique swiveling head, a base designed to reduce the transmission of vibrations to the hand, and a convenient fitted cover that keeps the vibrator discreet and dust-free when not in use. Although this vibrator offers powerful vibrations for its small size, our testers found it to be a bit noisy compared with other models and tricky to clean around the edges of the swiveling head.

The Wild Flower Enby 2 is a versatile vibrator that can be used both by people with penises and people with vulvas. Shaped like a miniature bicycle seat, the Enby 2 features a vibrating protrusion that expands out to a flexible, flat, triangular silicone surface that transmits the vibrations. We like the concept, and we found the vibrations to be plenty strong. But we do not think this toy is the best pick for solo clitoral play (unless you prefer “riding” or grinding against a vibrator while lying face down, as opposed to holding it in place with your hand). We do think this toy has great potential for use during partnered intercourse, where the person with the vulva is on top.

The reasons to get your vibe on are equally varied. “The best reasons for using a vibrator go beyond just chasing pleasure; it's a path to self-discovery through experimentation, can enrich intimate moments and may even be a solution to specific sexual health issues such as less natural lubrication,” explains Mariah Freya, founder of Beducated.com , an online platform for sexual wellness. “Your pathway to pleasure is just as unique as you are. Vibrators can help you understand your likes and dislikes in the bedroom better.”

But solo exploration isn't the only way to use vibrators — couples may find them to be a great addition to their relationship and notice better intimacy and bonding. “ Introducing a vibrator can be an exciting way to spice things up in the bedroom,” advises Sam Kryplone, a certified sex expert and co-founder of LustyBoy.com . “It's all about shared experiences and discovering new ways to connect intimately.”

Now that you're properly intrigued and excited, you may have noticed that the selection of vibrators is incredibly varied, making it a daunting task to pick the right one for you. That's why we've done the deep dive for you to come up with t he best vibrators for solo and couple fun.

Before you buy, here's what to look for when shopping for a vibrator:

• Pleasure points: Although you may not know exactly what you want in a sex toy, especially if you’re just starting out, Freya advises first thinking about what makes you feel good. “For example, if you’re a vulva owner, do you prefer external clitoral stimulation or internal penetration? If you're a penis owner, are you more inclined towards direct penis stimulation or prefer prostate play?”
• Goal: Do you need a hand reaching orgasm in general, or are you looking for a toy that can bring you an even bigger O? Also consider if you want to spice up intimacy between you and a partner, or if solo masturbation is more your style.
• Materials: Look for vibrators made from body-safe materials like silicone, Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic or stainless steel.

“The Magic Wand is a classic in the world of vibrators, and for good reason, too,” says Freya, who says it's great for beginners and praises the iconic gadget's “deep, rumbling vibrations, pillowy head and basic two power levels.” The Magic Wand can be charged ahead of time or be used while it’s plugged in, lest you have any concerns that it might run out of energy before you do.

REVIEW: “The silicone head is excellent, with a soft to the touch feel but still firm. Ladies, if you use this, make sure you give yourself at least 15 minutes to recover afterward—unlike the battery, you'll be drained.”

G-spot vibrators like this one “are designed specifically to target this erogenous zone,” explains Kryplone. There are a lot of reasons this sleek, sturdy, affordable little number is a bestseller: its smooth, solid design means that you can apply a satisfying amount of pressure — with a movable, flexible head — while experimenting with its eight speeds and twenty vibrating modes. Customers love how quiet it is.

REVIEW: “So affordable and gets the job done. There are different speeds and levels, and she’s waterproof!”

In addition to being one very cute little product, this rose vibrator feature a “sucking” sensation that aims to simulate cunnilingus. “It’s not exactly a traditional vibrator, but many women swear by it,” says Mioch. Its design and compact shape mean it can be used for any area that calls out for sucking, from the clit to the nipples.

REVIEW: "A breath of fresh air in the world of adult toys ... beautifully merges elegance, functionality and versatility.”

Despite being cute and compact, bullet vibrators are much-loved for the super-sized sensations they provide, as well as their stealth capabilities. “Whether you're on a naughty weekend getaway or a business trip [you can] slip it into your purse or pocket, and you'll always have a secret pleasure companion by your side,” says Kryplone. And users rave about the MoiAme Bullet, which is sturdy but flexible and packs a major punch.

REVIEW: “I cannot stress enough how much this toy has really done wonders for our bedroom life,” says one very happy user, while another praises the “fun color and the battery life,” as well as liking that it’s “easy to hide, easy to clean, [and] great fun in the bedroom.”

The “rabbit” vibrator was made famous years ago by a certain episode of the Sex and the City , and is renowned for how it simultaneously stimulates both the G-spot and the clitoris. This combination of internal and external stimulation can lead to “mind-blowing” orgasms,” says Kryplone. Called “rabbit” because of its bunny-like shape, some rabbit vibrators look more like actual rabbits — it’s a matter of personal preference! LELO goes with a sleek, abstract interpretation. The LELO INA “is a perfect introduction to rabbit vibrators,” says Freya.

REVIEW: “Going on 10 years, the silicone is perfect, nothing has broken down, [even after] washing with mild soap and water before and after each use. Still holds a good charge—never had any issues with this.”

Available in an array of bright, vivid colors, this gadget offers thrice the fun: it’s a vibrator, simulated licker and handheld dildo, all in one. It gives users a chance to indulge in what they already know they love (i.e., a classic vibrator) with things they may want to try out (like dildoing). And its “multiple” modes refer not just to the vibration settings, but the licking motions, too, which go from slow and sensuous to decidedly more rapid.

REVIEW: "It has several different vibrational and tongue modes so I never get bored."

This ergonomically designed vibrating dildo will delight users who have ever had to stop what they are doing, mid-pleasuring, to fumble with buttons, settings or to rest cramped fingers (a literal buzzkill!). It has 10 modes of vibration, but just one simple button to control them all. And the design allows users to hold it firmly and without any vibe-interfering awkwardness.

REVIEW: "Amazing value, amazing performance, [and] amazing O’s.”

This vibrator is great for couples play when one or more participants has a penis, and it has the capability to connect to an app so that you can have joint fun even if you're long-distance. “It’s silky smooth, flexible, and is designed to stimulate both partners during penetrative sex,” raves Freya, who adds that it “comes with a handy app from which you can change settings.” Some lubricant can help with slipping it on, especially if it feels tight initially. Wearing it on an erect penis can help prolong erection, while providing sexy vibrations for both partners.

REVIEW: "It has almost the same effect if you just put it around the testicles, [which gave the ring] a whole new use.”

If the cost of this vibrator seems higher than average, keep in mind that you’re not just getting a new toy when you buy the Vesper, but a sleek, hot little necklace, too, available in silver, rose gold and 24kt gold plating. It’s gorgeous, naughty and much-loved for its sturdy, durable quality and the fact that on top of everything else, it’s a powerful, extremely effective vibrator, too—yet incredibly quiet!

REVIEW: "Just buy it. Perfect for travel. Very powerful vibrations with 4 different settings! Totally worth the money!"

This multitasker does so, so much. It vibrates for optimal clitoral attention. It pulsates for internal stimulation. There's a mode to simulate licking, if an oral sex vibe is what you're seeking. And it can even be used sans buzz as a dildo. There are also several speeds and settings so you can zero in on the sensations you desire in the moment.

REVIEW: “The ‘licking’ feature is outstanding and in my opinion the best feature,” a user notes, calling the thrusting feature “not absolutely necessary [and] maybe a bit distracting.”

EMBITOP Thrusting Vibrator

This is another multitasking thrusting machine, but what sets it apart is that it features a flower bud design so you can enjoy that rosy feeling (literally) against the clitoris while you simultaneously take advantage of the dildo’s thrusting, penetrative powers.

REVIEW: "Very soft and comfortable, does exactly what it needs to do… has a good battery life and [is] easy to clean.”

Ixbox Anal Stimulator

This vibrator is a good option for anal exploration because of its unique, slim shape, which allows it to be used as a vibrator for vulvas as well as anal play. Users also love that it’s smooth, silky to the touch, and very easy to clean. Try one of these best anal sex lubes to go with it.

REVIEW: "Overall length is good for both shallow and deep play and the stiffness of it allows you to put the head right where you need it."

AMOROVO Anal Plug Rose Vibrator

This pretty rose of a butt plug (roses again — definitely trending) is great for anyone experimenting with anal play. It gives your partner a pretty view from behind, is soft and flexible to the touch, and has thoughtfully rounded corners that make for easier insertion. It also sets the mood with its light-up feature—the base glows with a different color every time you change one of the ten vibration settings.

REVIEW: “The soft silicone material is absolutely a winner, providing a smooth, comfortable experience that doesn't skimp on firmness or flexibility. The product is also very easy to clean with mild soap and water, which is a plus.”

Aumood High Frequency Clitoral Stimulator

The uniqueness of this vibrator applies to both its design and function: Its narrow tip allows for extremely precise, focused stimulation of the clitoris, or if you prefer, g-spot. The head rotates a bit like your favorite handheld milk foamer, and it comes with attachable heads in different shapes for extra pleasure exploration.

REVIEW: "This thing... Ladies, let me start off by saying IT WORKS!!!!!... and then some. If you're looking for something small, precise and accurate you found it with this one."

Satisfyer Penguin Air-Pulse Clitoris Stimulator

Not only does it look just like a penguin, you have to push its belly to change the vibration settings — how cute is that?! Besides vibration, this toy stimulates with gentle-yet-exciting air flow for a variety of pleasure sensations.

REVIEW: “This is truly the best and most affordable vibrator I’ve ever had, I have purchased plenty of vibrators and they’re always just okay, this one truly blew my mind."

How we chose the best vibrators

We talked to sex experts to find out how vibrators can enhance pleasure during both solo and couple play. We also asked about different ways to use the various styles of vibrators, and what to look for when shopping for one. Then we scoured the massive pool of vibrator options (and read tons of reviews) to find the ones that hit a variety of pleasure points, and that can be used alone or as a couple.

How to care for your vibrators

Knowing the best ways to clean and store sex toys like a vibrator can help keep them effective and last longer.

How to clean: “After use, wash them with warm water and a gentle liquid soap; this can help prevent infection-causing bacteria from lingering,” says Suki Dunham, founder and CEO of OhMiBod .

How to store: Keep them in a cool, dry place. Many sex toys come with pouches or other storage options, but if yours doesn’t, “silicone toys are best stored in individual bags or containers, so they don’t rub against each other to create microscopic holes; you can get plastic compartmental containers or something like Joyboxx for toys of any material, and you should always clean them first,” says Rachel Wright, LMFT , an NYC-based relationship, sex and mental health therapist.

Travelling With Your Hitachi Magic Wand - Airline Rules

Whether you're flying high in the bedroom with your Hitachi Magic Wand, or flying high with it on holidays.... we'll share the best practices for taking your Magic Wand with you on airline travel.

When it comes to looks, the advantage of owning a Magic Wand is that it doesn't resemble a sex toy. It's a back massager, remember. So, if you're in a situation at the airport where your luggage is being inspected, there's no need to stress if your Magic Wand gets discovered by airport security, or at your grandma's house when visiting.

The Hitachi Magic Wand Rechargeable and Hitachi Magic Wand Mini both have non-removable built-in lithium-ion rechargeable batteries, which are under 100Wh (watt-hour) in power capacity. This is good news, as all domestic Australian airlines permit the carriage of a rechargeable Hitachi Magic Wand in carry-on or checked baggage due to the 100Wh rule.

There's one important but simple rule you need to follow before taking your rechargeable Magic Wand with you on a flight. Doing so will keep you in line with dangerous goods and airline safety regulations, as well as minimizing any embarrassing moments.

Here's the rule... pack your Magic Wand in something protective before placing it in your suitcase or hand luggage, ie:

• Pack it in the manufacturers carton,
• Pack it in a cardboard box with with protective packaging,
• Store it in a protective case or container,
• Wrap it in a towel or clothing.

Following this one rule will prevent your Magic Wand from accidentally turning on inside your luggage if it gets knocked around (no one wants a vibrating suitcase).

It also protects your Magic Wand and its internal batteries from getting damaged, which will prevent a safety issue from occurring.

Because all Hitachi Magic Wands are extremely well made and super durable, damage to it while it's in your baggage would be as likely as not having an orgasm while using it.

In case of the rare chance you come across a misinformed security guard or airline staff at the airport saying you can't take your rechargeable Hitachi Magic Wand on a flight, here's the list of airline and aviation authority rules saying you can. These are official regulations regarding lithium battery operated devices being carried on aircraft:

Go forth, and have your best holiday ever, with your Hitachi Magic Wand!

The Best Wand Vibrators Are Worth the Buzz

By Kate Sloan

The best wand vibrators are equal opportunity pleasure-providers , with bulbous heads and long handles that make them easy for every horny person to use—regardless of their anatomy.

The massagers have been enchanting people since the swinging '60s, when the Hitachi Magic Wand—the OG that helped give the entire category of sex toys its name—was released stateside. At the time, it was marketed as a general body massager for muscle pain, but curious minds quickly figured out that the deep, rumbly vibrations were also a hit for getting yourself off.

So if you're wondering if they're really worth the hype, you'll have to take it from me on this one.  I’ve been reviewing sex toys for more than a decade , and wands are still some of the most well-loved options in my arsenal, whether I’m in a certain mood or just looking to work out some muscle tension (or both!). Here's why they belong in your drawer , and which wands will make you feel like you've unlocked some hidden powers.

Your Vibrator-Related FAQs, Answered

→ What Are the Benefits of Using a Wand Vibrator?

→ How to Shop For a Wand Vibrator

The Best Wand Vibrator, Overall: Magic Wand Rechargeable

Magic Wand Rechargeable

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic Battery life: 3 hours Vibration modes : 3 hours

What People Like About It: The OG is still the best out there. “After trying most types of wands out there, I always find myself coming back to the Magic Wand for its strength, patterns, and reliability,” Dick Wound , a kink educator and cohost of the Off the Cuffs podcast, says. The vibe formerly known as the Hitachi Magic Wand was given a glow-up by Vibratex when the brand took over distribution of the toy, and the result was this rechargeable version that doesn't need to be hooked up to an outlet when you're cranking one out. It boasts the same power as the original, but features additional vibration settings for revving up to an orgasm.

Pros: Strong, rumbly vibrations; four vibration speeds and four patterns; can be used while charging, travel lock Cons: Gets buzzier on higher speeds; gets loud on higher speeds; not waterproof

The Best Wand Vibrator for Beginners: Maude Spot

Materials: Silicone Battery Life: 2 hours Vibration modes : 5

What We Like About It : Maude's minimalist sex toys are popular for their discreet design and O-worthy performance. It’s just flexible and small enough to hit both the G- and P-spots, so it's fun for everyone. Plus, the ergonomic shape is ideal to grip for longer periods of time without your hand cramping up.

Pros : Easy to use; versatile for various people and bodies; sleek design makes it discreet if you accidentally leave it out, available in three different colors, latex free Cons : More than five speeds would have been appreciated; not fully waterproof (though water resistance is a plus)

The Easiest-to-Hold Wand Vibrator: Gender X

Material : Silicone and ABS plastic Battery life : Not listed Vibration modes : 8

What We Like About It : Wands tend to be bulkier and heavier than other types of vibes, so they're not always the easiest to use for people with chronic pain, mobility limitations, or strength issues. This one by Gender X, however, is intentionally designed to be super easy to hold, with a convenient looped handle and lightweight build. It has eight speeds and functions for you to choose from, and is fully waterproof, too.

Pros : Ergonomic looped handle; lightweight; eight speeds and functions; LED-lighted buttons; waterproof Cons : May not be as strong as some users prefer; textured head may be too abrasive for some

The Best Plug-In Wand Vibrator: Magic Wand Plus

Magic Wand Plus

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic Battery life: Electric Vibration modes: 4

What People Like About It: Another overhaul of Hitachi's Magic Wand, the Plus is electric like the original, but offers four speeds instead of two. This is great news for anyone who likes to start at a low speed and work their way up to an explosive finish. “I can orgasm fairly easily, back to back. But this thing takes orgasms to another level,” enthuses one Amazon reviewer.

Pros: Strong, rumbly vibrations; four vibration speeds; significantly cheaper than the other full-sized Magic Wands Cons: Gets buzzier on higher speeds; gets loud on higher speeds; requires an electric outlet; no vibration patterns

The Best Luxury Wand Vibrator: Lelo Smart Wand 2

Smart Wand 2 Large

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic Battery life: 4 hours Vibration modes: 10

By Jake Kring-Schreifels

What We Like About It : When I'm in the mood to use a wand vibrator and want to feel fancy, this is the one I grab. The sleek silicone and curved metallic handle look gorgeous together, and the vibrations are satisfyingly rumbly–it's the full package!

Pros: Strong, rumbly vibrations; lots of vibration settings; ergonomically-shaped handle; luxurious aesthetic; long battery life; waterproof; quiet Cons: Expensive; some users report mechanical issues (although Lelo offers a warranty)

The Best Upgrade Plug-In Vibrating Wand: Doxy Die Cast

Material: Silicone (head), casted aluminum and titanium (body) Battery life: Electric Vibration Modes : Continuous speed progression (press and hold to incrementally turn up speed)

What People Like About It : With a price tag nearing $200, this wand is quite an investment, but its quality aluminum construction and extra-rumbly vibrations make it worth it. “It’s super intense, but can be used through layers of clothing, or even through a duvet or pillow,” Leanne Yau , a polyamory educator and founder of  Poly Philia , says. Being made of metal, though, this wand is one of the heaviest on this list, so it's best avoided if you don't want masturbation to feel like an arm workout.

Pros: Very powerful vibrations; double-weighted head for extra rumbliness; luxurious metal construction; LED-lighted buttons for easier use in the dark; continuous speed progression (press and hold to incrementally turn up speed) Cons: Very heavy; initially cold to the touch; requires an electrical outlet; some users report mechanical issues

The Best Rechargeable Mini Wand Vibrator: PalmPower Recharge

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic Battery life: About 1 hour Vibration Modes: one-touch incremental speed control

What People Like About It : This petite wand is “small but mighty,” Wound says, “and its size offers more precise stimulation over the larger head of the Magic Wand.” Rather than cycling through predetermined vibration settings, you can adjust the strength of this one incrementally by pressing and holding its button until the vibration reaches the exact intensity you're looking for, so it's great if you want to build your arousal little by little.

Pros: Powerful, rumbly vibrations; silicone cap is removable for cleaning; quiet; travel lock Cons: Short battery life; only one button to control intensity

The Cutest-Looking Wand Vibrator: Fun Factory Vim

Fun Factory

Material: Silicone Battery life: 6 hours Vibration Modes: 5

What We Like About It: German brand Fun Factory is known for making toys that look, well, fun. Their wand vibe is no exception: Its rounded buttons click satisfyingly with each press, and it features a unique swirled texture on its head and handle. But, even more importantly, its vibrations feel incredible. The first time I used this toy, I came so hard that I had the wind knocked out of me and worried I might've woken up my roommate with my yell.

Pros: Powerful, rumbly vibrations; five speeds and three patterns; fun aesthetic; ridged head holds onto lube better; travel lock function; buttons light up; very long battery life; quiet Cons: Ridged head can be hard to clean

The Best Bluetooth Vibrator: Lovense Domi 2

Material: Silicone Battery life: 5 hours Vibration Modes: Incrementally adjustable

What We Like About It : For long-distance play, you can't go wrong with a Lovense toy. I've been in a long-distance relationship for over five years and Lovense toys are some of my favorites to incorporate into phone or FaceTime sex. This wand connects via Bluetooth to the Lovense app, which you can use to create your own vibration patterns, sync the vibrations to music and other sounds, and invite a far-away partner to take control. However, it's got such a pleasingly rumbly motor that it feels great even if you don't use any of those bells and whistles.

Pros: Powerful, rumbly vibrations; incrementally adjustable intensity; Bluetooth-compatible; can be used long-distance; long battery life; waterproof; petite, available in two colors Cons: Can get loud on higher speeds

The Best Plug-In Mini Wand Vibrator: Bodywand Midnight

Material: ABS plastic (body) and thermoplastic elastomer (head) Battery life: Electric Vibration modes : Incrementally adjustable

What We Like About It : If you want an electric wand that fits plenty of power into a small package, the Bodywand Midnight is one of my favorites. It has a dial, rather than buttons, so you can adjust the vibrations to the exact level of intensity you're craving at that moment, and immediately dial it back if it gets to be too much. Its all-black aesthetic is pretty cool, too.

Pros: Powerful, somewhat rumbly vibrations; dial for more precise control over vibration intensity; relatively petite Cons: Requires an electric outlet; gets buzzier on higher speeds; gets loud on higher speeds; ridged head can be hard to clean; porous head material can’t be fully sanitized

The Most Ergonomic Wand Vibrator: Dame Com

Material: Silicone Battery life: 1 hour Vibration modes : 5

What People Like About It : The curved handle of this wand may look odd, but it actually makes it super easy to hold this toy while massaging your neck, shoulders, or wherever else. “Using other vibrators... can cause hypersensitivity or a loss of sensitivity for some, but this thing starts with a low, deep but soft rumble,” one Lovehoney reviewer wrote. “Even at higher levels, the vibrations are just slower, deeper and extremely enjoyable.”

The wand handle itself is definitely something you should take into consideration when shopping for one of these types of wand vibes. “As a person with mobility and chronic pain issues, wands offer me comfort by having a longer handle and not needing me to extend my arm as far as I would with a smaller, bullet-style vibe,” Wound says.

Pros: Rumbly vibrations; five speeds and five patterns; ergonomically shaped handle; quiet; waterproof Cons: Not as strong as some other wands; vibrations translate into the handle a fair bit; short battery life

The Best Warming Wand Vibrator: Svakom Emma Neo

Material: Silicone, ABS plastic, and metal Battery life: 4 hours Vibration modes : 5

What People Like About It : “I LOOOOOOOVE the Svakom Emma Neo,” Yau says. “It warms to my body temperature, which is a total game-changer in cold weather.” Who knew masturbation could be so cozy? This wand also has Bluetooth compatibility—connect it to the Svakom app on your phone and you can experiment with programmed vibration modes, sync the vibrations to music, or even invite a long-distance partner to control your vibe.

Pros: Five vibration speeds and six patterns; heating function; waterproof; long battery life; very petite Cons: Relatively weak vibrations for a wand; gets buzzier on higher speeds

The Best Vibrating Wand with Attachments Included: Zalo Kyro

Material: Silicone and ABS plastic Battery life: 2 hours Vibration modes : 6

What We Like About It : Attachments can make a wand much more versatile, narrowing its strong vibrations into slimmer shapes that can be used to precisely stimulate the G-spot, clitoris, and other hotspots. When I was sent this wand to try, I loved experimenting with the different sensations it could provide, depending on whether I used it on its own or with one of the two attachments it comes with. It's pretty quiet and strong, too.

Pros: Strong, rumbly vibrations; six speeds and five patterns; comes with two optional attachments; Cons: Penetrative attachment is awkwardly angled for using on yourself (it points almost straight up from the top of the wand’s head)

The Best Wand Attachment: Vixen Creations Gee Whiz

Vixen Creations

Material: Silicone

What People Like About It : If you already have a (standard-sized, not mini) wand you love, the Gee Whiz can help you get more utility out of it. This silicone attachment pops onto the head of your wand and focuses its vibrations into a curved shape that's perfect for hitting the G-spot or prostate. “When I first got it, I was so excited that I put it on my wand, fired it up, and started using it in the standing position,” one Amazon reviewer recounted. “I nearly instantly had an orgasm and almost fell down! My knees buckled with pleasure!” Pros: Turns your wand into a G-spot or prostate stimulator; wand head can also provide clitoral or perineum stimulation at the same time Cons: Expensive for what it is; only works on standard-size wands; can be hard to take off (lube helps)

The Best Wand Mount: Wand Essentials Wand Assist Adjustable Wand Holder

Wand Essentials

Wand Assist Adjustable Wand Holder

Material: Metal and ABS plastic

What People Like About It: Because of how bulky and heavy wands can be, it's understandable if you don't always want to physically hold yours. This mount can clamp onto a flat surface, like the edge of your desk or your bed frame, and fits standard-sized wands. This is perfect for lazy masturbation, as well as for consensual kinky fun like “forced orgasm” play. I don't pull mine out all that often, but every time I do, I'm glad I own one.

Pros: Allows for hands-free use of wand vibes; easy and quick setup; adjustable angle and placement Cons: Only works with standard-size wands; requires a slim and flat surface to clamp onto; doesn’t work as well with heavy wands

The Best Tiny Wand Vibrator: Magic Wand Micro

Magic Wand Micro

Material : Silicone and ABS plastic Battery life : Up to 3 hours Vibration modes : 4

What We Like About It : This wand is giving "Honey, I shrunk the vibe!" and it's kind of adorable. The Micro is the smallest product in the Magic Wand lineup, and though it's not as earth-shatteringly strong as its bigger siblings, it's still plenty impressive for its size. It charges via USB-C, making it ultra-convenient to travel with, since you've probably got other devices that use the same charger. We've found that this tiny toy easily fits into a pocket or purse, and you can't say that about very many other wands.

Pros : Conveniently petite size; four vibration patterns; strong vibrations for its size; long battery life Cons : Only three steady speeds; not waterproof; may not be as strong as some users prefer

The Best Wand Vibrator with a Squishy Head: Doxy Original

Doxy Original

Material : Silicone, aluminum, and ABS plastic Battery life : Electric Vibration modes: Continuous speed progression

What People Like About It : If you like to press vibrators firmly against your body for a more intense sensation, you may want to consider a wand with a head made of forgivingly squishy silicone like this one. With the Doxy, you can apply all the pressure you want without compromising on comfort. This wand is also astonishingly strong—which makes sense since it plugs directly into the wall—and has buttons that are easy to find and press, even in the dark. One SheVibe reviewer wrote, “It's an incredibly well-designed vibrator and I consider it worth the high price. If you like wands, you will love the Doxy.”

Pros : Soft squishy head; extremely powerful and rumbly vibrations; LED-lit buttons; continuous speed progression (press and hold to incrementally turn up speed) Cons : Large and heavy; requires an electrical outlet; some users report mechanical issues

The Best Double-Ended Wand Vibrator: BMS Enterprises Swan Wand

Material : Silicone Battery life : Up to 8.5 hours Vibration modes : Continuous speed progression

What We Like About It: This toy doesn't look like your typical wand; it's shaped more like a double-ended G-spot vibe, and indeed, you can use it that way. But once you turn it on, it becomes clear that the Swan Wand boasts just as much power as a standard wand, and can be used on external pleasure zones or for body massage, like any other wand. It's also worth noting that this wand's battery lasts over eight hours on a single charge, and we've found it can easily endure marathon sex sessions or some sexy weekend getaways without it running out of juice.

Pros : Very powerful and rumbly vibrations; double-ended design; two independently-controllable motors; continuous speed progression (press and hold to incrementally turn up speed); 7 vibration patterns; curved to hit the G-spot; travel lock function; waterproof Cons : Controls can be confusing; vibrations conduct into your hand

The Best Penis Vibrator: Lovehoney Power Play 7 Function Male Massage Wand

Power Play 7 Function Male Massage Wand

Material : Silicone Battery life : 90 minutes Vibration modes : 7

What People Like About It: Most wand vibrators are so powerful and broad that they work well on any anatomy, but if you want one specifically designed to wrap around the shaft of a penis, this one's worth considering. Apply some water-based lube and you can stroke this wand up and down like you're getting a vibrating handjob, or you can just hold it in one spot, such as on your frenulum, to build up to an intense finish. One Lovehoney reviewer wrote, “A fantastic go-to toy for either nice long edging sessions or quickies! Totally worth it.”

Pros : Shaped to wrap around penis; strong and rumbly vibrations; 7 vibration settings; travel lock function; waterproof Cons : Only three steady speeds

The Best Waterproof Wand Vibrator: We-Vibe Wand

Material : Silicone Battery life : Up to 2 hours Vibration modes : Continuous speed progression

What People Like About It : We-Vibe is known for its bestselling couple's vibrators , and like its peers, this wand is app-compatible, too, meaning it can be controlled near or far for long-distance fun. It comes with two different attachments, so you can experiment with varied sensations on different body parts, and it's fully waterproof. “The vibration is absolutely unreal! It leaves you with a shaking breathless orgasm and a smile on your face,” one Lovehoney reviewer wrote.

Pros : Powerful vibrations; comes with two attachments; waterproof; Bluetooth-controllable; continuous speed progression; quiet Cons : Some users find the controls confusing

The Best Wand Vibrator for Body Massage: Lovehoney Joy Roller

Material : Silicone Battery life : One hour Vibration modes : 9 vibration modes

What People Like About It : Wand vibrators also double as excellent tools for muscle massage , whether you're working rubdowns into foreplay or just using them to knead out aches and pains after a stressful day. This wand, which resembles a jade roller for facial massages, is particularly well-suited for that purpose. It's got two rotating balls for massage and the "handle" of this toy is also a vibrator that can be inserted vaginally for G-spot stimulation. One Lovehoney reviewer raved, “We absolutely love this! Start with a vibrating massage and see where it takes you!”

Pros : Rotating balls for muscle massage; vibrating shaft for G-spot stimulation; nine vibration modes; travel lock function Cons : Loud; short battery life; not fully waterproof

The Best Rabbit Wand Vibrator: Happy Rabbit

Happy Rabbit

Rechargeable Wand Vibrator

Material : Silicone Battery life : Up to 3 hours Vibration modes : 10

What People Like About It : If you're into rabbit vibes and wand silhouettes, Lovehoney has made a best of both worlds model for you that combines the best features of both. Powerful vibrations are conducted through a pair of fluttery rabbit ears for a tickly sensation that some people really enjoy. While mainly designed for clitoral use, you can also try the ears around the nipples, the frenulum, the taint, and other sensitive erogenous zones. As one Lovehoney reviewer wrote, “Amazing sized ears, amazing power, and easy to incorporate into most positions!”

Pros : Rabbit ears for a fluttery sensation; 10 vibration modes with three speeds each; waterproof; travel lock function Cons : Some users may find it too weak

The Best Rideable Wand Mount: Liberator Wanda

Material : Polyurethane foam (core) and polyester (cover and liner) Battery life : N/A

What People Like About It: Riding a vibrator can create very different sensations from just rubbing yourself against one, so to get the most out of your wand, you may want to pick up a rideable wand mount like this one. Just slip your (standard-sized) wand into the hole on the Wanda and climb aboard. This type of mount works well for solo play, but it really shines when you're having sex in the doggie-style position: it allows the receptive partner to grind against their vibe hands-free while getting penetrated. "Nothing better for wand play. A must have for wand owners," one Amazon reviewer wrote. Conveniently, when you're done, you can zip off the Wanda's cover and throw it in the wash.

Pros : Allows for easy hands-free wand usage; cover can be removed and machine-washed; moisture-proof inner liner; compatible with most standard-sized wands (including corded ones); high-density foam offers good support in various sex positions Cons : Expensive for what it is

What are the benefits of using a wand vibe?

Sex educator Betty Dodson famously handed out wand vibes to the participants of her “Bodysex” masturbation workshops in the '70s. Since then, various studies have found that wand vibrators can be helpful in treating sexual dysfunction such as anorgasmia, or the inability to orgasm. The authors of  one such study explained the wand vibe’s usefulness by saying that its “very large head [is] designed for efficient transference of vibrations to the vulva and clitoral region without causing soreness or irritation of the tissue.”

Indeed, the fact that a wand head covers so much real estate is likely a reason they’re so widely adored, not just for clitoral stimulation but for penises, too. “I’ve surprisingly used a lot of sex toys specifically designed for penises and find they never really come close to the experience of using a wand,” says Wound. “I chalk this up to the superior sensation and controllability that wands offer by not needing [my penis] to be inserted in a toy, but rather, I can just move the toy to the spots I like best on my body.”

What to look for in a wand vibrator

In the 11+ years I’ve spent reviewing sex toys, I’ve tested dozens of different wand vibes, and I can tell you that they are  not all created equal. Here are some key considerations when you’re shopping for a wand.

Power source: Some wand vibes use disposable batteries, some are rechargeable, and some plug into the wall. Generally speaking, those that use disposable batteries have the weakest vibrations and are the lowest quality. Electric wands tend to be the most powerful, although these days there are plenty of mega-strong rechargeable wands that can give the electric ones a run for their money. If you tend to masturbate or have sex near a power outlet, and if vibration strength is a priority for you, then you should consider plug-in electric wands, but if you prefer a little more mobility and don’t mind potentially sacrificing some power, go with a rechargeable option.

Vibration quality: Sex toy reviewers often make  a distinction between “buzzy” and “rumbly” vibrations . If a toy is buzzy, its vibrations feel localized on the surface of the skin, have a higher-pitched sound to them, and are more likely to cause the temporary numbness that puts some people off vibrators. Rumbly toys, on the other hand, have lower-pitched vibrations that create deeper, more resonant sensations, and are less likely to numb you out.

Size: Wand vibes range in stature from teeny-tiny to longer than your forearm. The bigger ones tend to be more powerful, but their beefy dimensions can make them feel obtrusive if you’re, say, trying to slide one in between your body and your partner’s during sex. Go for a smaller wand if you’re mostly hoping to use it during missionary-position sex or any other situation where space is limited.

Weight: Because wand vibes are usually on the larger end of the sex toy spectrum, they also tend to be heavier than your average toy. This is especially worth considering if you struggle with chronic pain, hand strength issues or similar. “Personally, I always look at the weight of a wand vibrator [before buying it] because I don’t want to hold a heavy wand vibe for ages,” advises  Ruby Rousson , a  sex worker and sex work advocate.

Comfort: Besides weight and size, there are a few other factors that affect how comfortable a wand is to hold, including its center of gravity, the shape and texture of its handle, and how much vibration transfers into the handle during use. “A powerful wand is useless if the entire thing shakes to the point where you numb your hand just from holding it,” warns Yau. This is another reason it can be a good idea to test out wands on your hand at a sex shop before purchasing one, if you can.

Ready to wander into the world of wands? Here are some expert-vetted wand vibes that’ll knock your proverbial socks off, as well as some accessories that’ll help you get even more value out of your wand.

But now, our wand toys are no longer tethered to our walls with cords, thanks to a slew of rechargeable, cord-free options.

First time trying a wand? For powerful external stimulation on not just your clitoris but all erogenous zones, this may be the toy for you. According to Javay Frye-Nekrasova , sex educator and pleasure expert at Lovehoney , these vibrators have large, bulbous wand heads that rumble for the right amount of intensely satisfying stimulation. This device's strong vibrations can be used all over the body for direct stimulation, and they're also popularly used as head-to-toe massagers for sore muscles. "You can use a wand during masturbation or partnered play for direct and targeted stimulation of the genitals," Frye-Nekrasova says. "You can also use wands as foreplay of partner play by giving each other full-body massages with wands to fully relax and prep for fun together."

Not all wand vibrators are created equal. Stephanie Hack, MD, founder of women's health platform, Lady Parts Doctor , has a list of criteria your sex toys should meet before you shell out your hard-earned cash. The most important one? Material. "Opt for body-safe materials like medical-grade silicone, which is hypoallergenic, non-porous, and easy to clean," Dr. Hack says. In that same vein, looking for a waterproof, or at the very least, splashproof vibe, as they're easier to clean and the most versatile solo or partnered session.

Next, consider the size and shape of the vibrator. Wand vibrators are typically on the larger side, but there are still plenty of different shapes to choose from. "Vaginas, vulvas, and other erogenous areas come in different shapes and sizes, and finding the perfect length and width is key," says Dr. Hack. "Also, a comfortable grip and a flexible neck can enhance your experience, making it easier to reach different areas of the body." Finding a rechargeable or corded wand vibrator is your best bet, as you won't have to deal with disposable batteries.

Adding sex toys into your self-care routine comes with myriad benefits, explains Dr. Hack. For one, it's a great method of self-exploration. "Wand vibrators are incredibly empowering and provide an opportunity for individuals to explore their bodies , understand their pleasure points, and gain confidence in their sexuality," she says. Of course, adding sex toys into your relationships can be beneficial, too. For couples (or larger groups), "Introducing sex toys like wand vibrators can open up new avenues of intimacy and communication, exploring desires and preferences in a safe and enjoyable way," Dr. Hack explains. Not to mention, she says sex toys can help folks who find it difficult to orgasm.

The shape and power of wand vibrators in particular make them great for more than just intimacy. You could use it for total-body massage, hammering out sore muscles, and of course, stimulating erogenous zones other than your clit. Dr. Hack recommends using them during sex, too. "Wand vibrators can be incorporated into partnered sexual activities, enhancing the experience for all parties involved," she says.

In a world where the hunt for satisfaction often feels like a quest of epic proportions, a digital realm exists where pleasure seekers can embark on a journey without ever leaving home.

Harry Potter: Best Ways To Travel Within Wizarding World

• The magical community in Harry Potter has various means of transportation, including broomsticks, the Knight Bus, the Floo Network, Portkeys, and Apparition.
• Each mode of transportation has its own risks and requirements, such as the need for balance on a broomstick or the danger of splinching during Apparition.
• Traveling with magical creatures, like dragons, can be challenging and requires expertise, while modified muggle vehicles are technically illegal due to the exposure of magic to the muggle world.

Just like Muggles who traveled through air, land, and sea, the magical community of Harry Potter also has several means of transportation. Many use enchanted items and vehicles for their journey, but they can also ride magical creatures or even teleport using some magical tools.

Harry Potter: 8 Powerful Magical Plants

In Harry Potter , the further the location of arrival, the more complex the tool is, as one even needs a license to use certain transportation. Just like muggles who need a license to drive a vehicle, legality is needed to ensure safety and security. One fast, yet risky mode of transportation may cause a separation of body parts if not done properly.

The Old-Fashion Way

Riding a broomstick for the magical community is one of the earliest skills one acquires when starting a wizard's education in a magical school like Hogwarts. A Broomstick is arguably equivalent to riding a muggle bike, as it does not need a license, although it does need balance and to completely focus on the ride.

Flying with broomsticks is also used in sports, such as in Quidditch games and broom racing. In the muggle world, flying with broomsticks is also one of the most popular stereotypes of witches and wizards since ages ago, which happened to also be used in the Harry Potter universe.

For Stranded Witches And Wizards

Traveling by ground is also used for the magical community of Harry Potter , especially those who are residing in muggle-populated areas. The wizards and witches who are stranded or lost, or having some type of issue, might raise their wand to command the bus.

Harry Potter: 5 Most Useful Spells In Daily Life, Ranked

As depicted in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban , Harry raised his wand while standing face to face with Sirius Black who was in his animagus form , accidentally calling the bus to come. The Knight Bus looks like any normal double-decker bus, but it possesses magical abilities to pass through muggle vehicles without being seen.

Floo Network

Traveling through chimneys.

Apparently, it is not only Santa Claus who takes advantage of chimneys but wizards and witches use them as a means of transportation. The Floo network allows wizards to travel from one place to another that shares a connection in the form of a chimney.

To travel, one has to obtain a Floo powder in hand, pronouncing the desired location – with said connection – and poof! There they are. However, it is important to clearly say the name of the location, or else one might arrive in the wrong place. Just look at how Harry Potter ended up in Knockturn Alley, a dodgy and risky place, instead of in his intended location of Diagon Alley .

Bewitched Mundane Items

Who would have thought wizards and witches could be transported through socks, shoes, or other miscellaneous household items? Portkeys are one unique way of traveling as they are made up of bewitched mundane items that allow travelers to teleport into another location. This means of transportation, although fun, is quite risky as one might accidentally touch it and be sent to another place out of their will.

There are a few instances where muggles accidentally touch a Portkey and are transported to another location without their knowledge. Another dangerous example is how Harry Potter and Cedric Diggory are transported into the Little Hangleton Graveyard, as the Triwizard Cup is turned into a Portkey by Barty Crouch Jr.

Dangerous Yet Fast

Apparition is a form of teleportation magic that allows users to travel long distances in less time without enchanted items, magical creatures, and other means of transportation. Although fast, it is considered one of the riskiest transportation modes in the Harry Potter universe.

Apparating with a lack of skill might cause splinching, causing body parts to be wounded or worse, separated from each other. To apparate, the Ministry of Magic requires citizens to have a license that they obtain through classes. Hogwarts is one of the places that offer apparition classes, teaching students how to apparate properly and safely.

Magical Creatures

Especially huge ones.

Another means of transportation is by flying with dragons, hippogriffs, thestrals, and so on. Using magical creatures for travel means said creatures have to be big enough to carry a human – or even more than one – depending on the passengers. Also, traveling with them requires a great deal of knowledge of the creatures, as they might be hard to control and unpredictable.

8 Best Pets In Harry Potter, Ranked

There are many instances of traveling with magical creatures in the Harry Potter universe, and riding a dragon is considered to be the hardest one. Dragons are highly complicated creatures and truly tricky to handle, as riding on them needs perseverance and bravery.

Enchanted Vehicles

Technically illegal due to muggles exposure.

There are many instances where wizards and witches modified muggles' vehicles into magic ones, such as the Weasleys’ Ford Anglia Flying Car, Rubeus Hagrid’s Motorcycle, and so on. However, these vehicles are considered as “Enchanted Muggle Artifacts” by the Ministry of Magic, and therefore illegal. It falls under the law of “Misuse of Muggle Artifacts”, as the items used mostly came from muggles common brands for vehicles.

Harry Potter: 7 Underappreciated Muggles

In H arry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , the muggles who saw the Weasleys’ flying car fall into a deep shock, as reported in the Daily Prophet. Although illegal, it cannot be denied that this specific means of transportation is one of the coolest ways of traveling.

Tips for a Magical Day at Magic Kingdom

Valerie de Leon/Travel + Leisure

When the Magic Kingdom opened its gates on Oct. 1, 1971, it became an iconic place to not only see favorite Disney characters but to experience innovative attractions and visit lands carefully crafted to transport guests to another time or place. No trip to Walt Disney World would be complete without a visit to the Magic Kingdom. The most popular park at the Florida resort is also the most-visited theme park in the entire world, with more than 17 million visitors in 2022, according to the Global Attractions Attendance Report .

With this popularity comes crowds, so knowing how to best navigate the park is vital to ensure a great experience. “Walt Disney World is complicated in a way that's different from almost any other vacation destination. There are far more people who want to ride Disney's best rides and eat at Disney's best restaurants than there is ride and restaurant capacity for them. You'll need to make reservations for the popular rides and restaurants or risk not getting to them,” says Len Testa, co-author of " The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World ."

Ready to plan your trip? Here's everything you need to know to plan a perfect day at Magic Kingdom.

Meet the Expert

Len Testa is the co-author of "The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World." 

Samantha Davis-Friedman is a theme park journalist and contributing writer of “Walt Disney World Hacks, Second Edition.”

Matt Stroshane/Walt Disney World

“The two things to consider when visiting Walt Disney World are crowds and weather,” says Testa. “Walt Disney World's crowds are typically lowest when public schools are in session. The best weather is generally between November and March, with daytime highs between 75 and 80 degrees.” 

Tickets can be purchased as either single or multi-day passes, and you can add the Park Hopper option to visit multiple parks a day. Single-day ticket prices are dynamic and vary depending on the day and park you’re looking to visit, ranging between $134 to $189 for 2024. While park hours vary throughout the year, currently Magic Kingdom is open from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. 

Guests staying at Disney hotels (and select other hotels) can take advantage of Early Entry to enter the park 30 minutes before it officially opens. Guests staying at a Disney Deluxe Resort or other select hotels can enjoy Extended Evening Hours after the park closes on select nights.

Getting to Magic Kingdom 

Valerie de Leon/Travel + Leisure

Guests cannot park outside of the gates of the Magic Kingdom and must park across the Seven Seas Lagoon at The Transportation and Ticket Center, otherwise known as the TTC. From there, guests can take a ferry or monorail to arrive at the park gates. “My motto is 'take the one that’s there' – sometimes that’s the monorail and sometimes it's the ferry. Either way, it’s nice to start the day without a wait (if possible) since there will certainly be plenty of waiting to come," says Samantha Davis-Friedman, theme park journalist and contributing writer of “Walt Disney World Hacks, Second Edition” .

Only Walt Disney World Resort buses and "Minnie Vans" (Lyft’s exclusive Walt Disney World car service offering select perks), can drop visitors off directly outside of the park. Third-party shuttles typically drop riders at the TTC. 

Standard parking is $30 per day, preferred parking varies seasonally between $45 and $55 per day, and oversized vehicle parking is $35 per day. If you’re park-hopping, good news: Guests only need to pay one fee for a parking pass that is good all day at all four theme parks. 

Guests staying at select Magic Kingdom area resorts can also take the monorail or a boat from their hotel.

Best Rides and Attractions 

Younger guests shouldn’t miss out on the rides in Fantasyland, like The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Peter Pan’s Flight. Thrill-seeking visitors should make a point to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, and Tron Lightcycle Run . For fans of classic Disney, no trip is complete without a stop at The Enchanted Tiki Room, a ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, and a spin through Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, which originally debuted at the 1964 New York World's Fair. Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion are perennial favorites among guests of all ages. And Tiana's Bayou Adventure is bound to be an instant hit when it opens this summer.

The best way to optimize time within the parks is to utilize Genie+ and Individual Lightning Lanes , an update on the previously complimentary FastPass system. These benefits come at an additional cost, but time in the parks is valuable and sometimes, it’s best to spend extra money to avoid lost time in line. The cost varies by park and date, generally ranging between $16 to $35 per day. 

Testa recommends purchasing Individual Lightning Lanes (ILL) for sought-after attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

Entertainment 

Let the Magic Begin and Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire are stage shows that run several times throughout the day and feature Mickey and his pals, Tiana and friends from "The Princess and the Frog," and more. 

The Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade is an abbreviated parade that runs through the park and features characters from "Encanto," "Coco," and more. The Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade features incredible floats, a long list of characters, and a great soundtrack. 

Happily Ever After is the park's current nighttime spectacular featuring projections, lasers, special effects, and of course, fireworks. While finding a spot in front of the castle is key if you want to catch the projections, the show is still extremely enjoyable when viewed from other, often less crowded, spots. My favorites are Tomorrowland and Fantasyland (and it's a bonus if you are onboard the PeopleMover or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train while fireworks are exploding in the sky above you).

Walt Disney World

Visitors looking to maximize their time in the parks should opt to order from quick-serve locations, preferably with mobile orders. Sleepy Hollow is a great stop for breakfast, offering an extremely popular fresh fruit waffle sandwich. Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe is a reliable stop for burgers and chicken strips. It’s also home to Sonny Eclipse, a beloved animatronic performing lounge tunes all about his home planet Zork in the dining room. Casey’s Corner offers hot dogs, corn dog nuggets, and french fries. If you’re looking for non-fried choices, Columbia Harbor House serves New England-inspired seafood dishes.

Guests who want to get up close with their favorite friends can make a reservation for a character meal at Cinderella’s Royal Table to dine with princesses or The Crystal Palace for a meal with Pooh and friends. Other standout table-service restaurants are Be Our Guest, Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen, and Tony’s Town Square Restaurant, thanks to a recent menu overhaul that makes it a fantastic place to enjoy a glass of wine on the patio, especially while a parade passes by.

Snack fiends, be prepared: there are a lot of can’t-miss Disney World foods , including pineapple upside-down cake topped with Dole Whip from Aloha Isle, cheeseburger spring rolls at The Spring Roll Cart, and the pepper jack pretzel from Cheshire Cafe.

Magic Kingdom Itinerary 

Be ready to book your first Genie+ selection and join the virtual queue for Tron Lightycle Run at 7 a.m. If you miss the 7 a.m. window, there is another chance to join the Tron virtual queue at 1 p.m. from inside the park. If you’re staying on property, be ready to enter the park when Early Entry begins. Otherwise, be prepared to rope drop as soon as the park opens. Head to the most popular rides first to take advantage of the shortest lines you’ll likely see all day. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Peter Pan's Flight, Jungle Cruise, and Space Mountain develop some of the highest wait times as the day goes on. From there, tackle the park by land, and don’t forget to take your time and enjoy. Continue to utilize Genie+ to book return times for attractions — or if you’ve opted to pass on the additional purchase, keep an eye on wait times in the app to head to the shortest lines. Try to spot a parade along the way, and end your day with Happily Ever After.

• “Be at the park, admission in hand, 60 minutes before the official opening. On most days, Disney will let you into the park and allow you to line up for your first ride well before the park opens. This is a tremendous advantage over those who can't get up and out the door that early. You'll be well on your way to your second (or third) ride before most people have gone through the turnstiles,” says Testa.
• Be prepared for the weather. “No matter what time of year you go to Magic Kingdom, it will likely rain — and it’s always A LOT of rain. Because I have been caught unprepared for rain at Walt Disney World (more than once), I now carry a pair of inexpensive, lightweight flip-flops in my backpack. That way, I can quickly swap out my sneakers and socks to keep them dry (this works well on water rides too!),” says Davis-Friedman.
• If you plan on spending a lot of time at Magic Kingdom, consider splurging to stay at a neighboring hotel. Guests can walk directly to the park from Disney’s Contemporary Resort and Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. This convenience will save you a lot of time and hassle if you plan on staying until the park closes.
• For those looking to avoid the post-fireworks crowds, consider watching them from the neighboring resorts. Diners at The California Grill located on the top floor of Disney’s Contemporary Resort have access to a viewing deck that pipes in the show’s sound, as does the beach at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. 
• Some of the best parts of a day in Magic Kingdom aren’t just the moments of soaring through Big Thunder Mountain or passing by hitchhiking ghosts inside The Haunted Mansion; they’re the magical moments in between, like having a spontaneous dance party with The Country Bears or spotting the names of several key Imagineers on the windows along Main Street U.S.A.

If you are only just waking up, don't worry - you can scroll below to read all about the biggest night in fashion as it happened. 

Have a great day and for those who stayed up, have a great sleep. 

One big party involving the most fashion-forward celebrities over the years is sure to generate some iconic looks. 

Previous years have been no disappointment (although shout-out to 2018 and 2019 in particular). 

While there are too many memorable looks to show you here, this is a list of some of the best...

Rihanna, 2018

This pop icon almost never misses, but this Pope-inspired look truly inducted her into the Met Gala halls of fame. 

Her 2018 outfit makes it on to pretty much every best-dressed-of-all-time list going. 

Cardi B, 2019

The year was 2019, the theme was camp and Cardi did not disappoint. 

Vogue reported at the time her Thom Browne dress involved 30,000 feathers, 2,000 hours and 35 people putting it together. 

Ariana Grande, 2018

Spectacularly pulling off 2018's theme (Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination), Grande donned a Vera Wang gown printed with images from Michelangelo's fresco The Last Judgement. 

Those well-read on art history will know this fresco sits on the sanctuary wall of the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City. 

Kim Kardashian, 2019

Proving she can pull off the wet-hair look better than anyone else, Kim Kardashian's Thierry Mugler gown was an instant hit. 

The latex corseted dress reportedly took eight months to make. 

Zendaya, 2019

One of 2019's most show-stopping moments was Zendaya's arrival as Cinderella. 

Her stylist Law Roach joined her on the red carpet, waving a wand, and with a little red carpet magic, her powder blue tulle gown slowly lit up from the bottom. 

Kate Moss, 2009

Stealing the show on the Met Gala red carpet since the 90s, Kate Moss's most lauded look came in 2009. 

Her liquid metallic minidress and headscarf are still seen as one of the best looks of the event's history. 

Billy Porter, 2019

Bringing more theatre to the night, Billy Porter arrived on a litter carried by six shirtless men - a nod to ancient Egypt. 

That wasn't all, though, as he later unveiled a bejewelled catsuit fitted with 10-foot wings. 

Lady Gaga, 2019

Why bring one outfit when you can bring four. 

The 2018 theme of Camp was right up Lady Gaga's street, and she spent 16 minutes on the red carpet posing with oversized props and dancers to match her outfit changes. 

Beyonce, 2015

The naked dress may be popular again this year, but let's remember that Beyonce did it first in 2015 (okay, not literally first, but it really was that iconic). 

She was famously late to the Met Gala that year after attending a fundraiser with Barack Obama. 

Blake Lively, 2022

Ever a Met Gala darling, Blake Lively wowed when she co-chaired the event in 2022. 

Her Versace gown transformed halfway into her entrance, representing the oxidation of the State of Liberty. 

There have been a lot of exquisite looks at the Met Gala, and most of them arguably stuck to the theme. 

Guests were told to follow the dress code The Garden Of Time, inspired by a 1962 story by JG Ballard. 

The book tells the tale of a man who turns back time by plucking each flower in his garden until it is barren. 

Unsurprisingly, it inspired several floral looks. 

Here are 10 of the most stunning outfits...

The Marc Jacobs social media account brought a playful twist to the Met Gala. 

Before the red carpet started, the brand teased four celebrities it was dressing and asked its followers to guess who they were

Now we know it was Dua Lipa, Karol G, Keke Palmer and Venus Williams.

Last year, the brand dressed pop stars Anitta and Kim Petras and reality TV legends Paris Hilton and Kendall Jenner.

The Met Gala meal always matches the theme, and this year is no exception. 

Matching the Sleeping Beauty: Reawakening Fashion theme, caterer Olivier Cheng said he wanted to create an "ethereal" menu. 

Using seasonal ingredients, he told vogue he had created a three-course meal that was like something from a fairytale. 

The fish dish to be served was a spring vegetable salad with elderflower foam, raspberry vinaigrette, olive crumble  and butterfly-shaped croutons, he said. 

The main course was a filet of beef topped with a tortellini rose.

The beef was on a pine needle and in a mushroom "moat", he added. 

In a nod to Snow White, Cheng created an almond cremeux in the shape of an apple, covered in a red mirror glaze and placed on a walnut flavoured leaf. 

We'll catch all the celebrities parading on the red carpet, but as for what happens inside the event... Honestly, it's a closely guarded secret. 

Guests are usually given dinner, and the event often involves a high-profile performer such as Rihanna or Justin Bieber.

Guests are asked to abide by a no-phone policy - meaning few pictures emerge from inside. 

In the past, a few photos have slipped out, with one of the most iconic shared by Kylie Jenner showing a star-studded crowd posing in the bathroom. 

Others have shown guests, including Bella Hadid and Dakota Johnson, smoking in the bathroom, despite New York State banning smoking in enclosed spaces. 

This post by Elizabeth Chambers from the 2017 Met is a good example... 

Adwoa Aboah has revealed she's pregnant at the Met Gala. 

The British model bared her baby bump for the first time, wearing a red skirt and ruffled top. 

A pregnancy announcement has become a bit of a tradition at fashion's biggest night of the year. 

Last year, Karlie Kloss and Serena Williams both announced they were expecting. 

While the celebrities continue to enjoy their evening inside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are still working our way through the red carpet photos. 

Actress Sydney Sweeney was almost unrecognisable after dying her hair black. 

Singer Lana del Rey looked incredible in an architectural forest piece designed by Sean McGirr for Alexander McQueen. 

We were the only ones who immediately thought of a swan after seeing Nicole Kidman . 

Singer Sabrina Carpenter, whose recent song Espresso has dominated the charts, arrived at the Met in a black and blue gown. 

Her rumoured boyfriend, actor Barry Keoghan, was also on the carpet, with the pair arriving simultaneously and posing together at the top of the famous stairs.

Carpenter's dress was created by Oscar de la Renta, who has been very popular tonight, also dressing the likes of Kris and Kylie Jenner. 

Holding a single red rose, Usher opted for an all black outfit this year. 

Similarly, Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton wore a black suit, but it featured embroidered flowers on the jacket. 

Model Brooklyn Beckham decided to wear a white suite, paired with a gold bird chain. 

He arrived solo this year, taking to Instagram to say he was "missing his beautiful wife" Nicola Peltz while on his way to the Met.

Providence is desperate for housing. The city stalled on a key tax incentive for more than a year.

Developers say providence’s commercial tax rate is among the reasons it can be more difficult to develop here than in boston, where the tax rate is lower and rents are higher.

PROVIDENCE — You can’t go a day without hearing a politician call for more housing to be built in Rhode Island, where the capital city has one of the tightest rental markets in the country.

Yet for more than a year, Providence did not issue even a single one of its most popular incentives : a tax treaty known as a “ tax stabilization agreement ,” which aims to stimulate development by giving the developer what amounts to an introductory property tax rate, ramping up to full taxation over five to 20 years.

Developers have long argued it’s difficult to build housing in Providence, where construction costs are comparable to Boston but the market rents they can charge are lower. The commercial property tax rate in Providence is the third-highest in the nation at about $35 per $1,000, compared to $25 per $1,000 in Boston.

The tax treaty is not without its detractors, some of whom pushed back on the generous use under former mayors and City Councils. It’s also one of the most reliable tools the city offers, developers say, to make the math work for their projects.

Yet until this month, the city hadn’t issued a single new one since Mayor Jorge Elorza left office in January 2023.

“Folks are really confused and frustrated,” said Dylan Conley, an attorney who represents multiple developers who have applied for a tax treaty between 2022 and 2024. He said his clients were not given any explanation for why their applications, until recently, had not even been considered.

“Try explaining that to a bank or investors,” Conley said. “It’s been very, very, very, scary.”

Among the projects that were stuck in the backlog: an old nursing home set to become 70 apartments, a vacant church that will hold 15 units, and a proposed four-building 133-apartment complex on Gano Street.

It’s a bit of a head-scratcher, developers told the Globe, in a city that is second only to New York City in its low apartment vacancy rate, according to real estate research firm CoStar .

The City Council has finally begun clearing the backlog, approving several tax treaties over the past two weeks and denying others.

The nursing home conversion project — the former Tockwotton Home on George M. Cohan Boulevard — was waiting the longest, having submitted an application in December 2022. The tax treaty was finally approved Thursday night in a vote of 13 to 2.

The long delay was attributed in part to the transition to a new mayor and new City Council in January 2023, but city officials have not provided a clear explanation for why applications for multiple housing developments were left unconsidered, even as they called for more housing to be built.

“Every month that goes by is a construction worker that’s not swinging a hammer, and an apartment that’s not getting ready to be rented,” Mayor Brett Smiley said in an interview, acknowledging that the delay was “not acceptable.”

“I don’t know where the communication breakdown was,” Council President Rachel Miller told the Globe. “But as soon as I knew we had TSAs pending, I was like: ‘Let’s go.’” She said she found out about the backlog in September and promptly convened a relatively new working group, which includes multiple city departments in addition to City Council, to vet the applications.

Smiley said his office was urging council staff to consider the tax treaties as far back as last summer.

“It’s been a little frustrating,” Smiley said. “The lack of a timeline, the lack of predictability and the lack of transparency on the process is only going to discourage future investment in our city.”

Dozens of developers wrote letters in March expressing alarm that the council had not approved a single tax deal since taking office.

Eric Edelman, whose $9 million office-to-residential conversion of a vacant historic downtown building remains in the queue for a TSA he applied for in January, said he will not be able to do the project without the tax subsidy.

“Our building has structural issues that are pretty pressing,” Edelman said, adding that he felt optimistic now that the council has resumed issuing agreements. “We’re anxiously awaiting the vote, because we’re ready to start construction once we have our TSA.”

Edelman’s company, W Street Properties, is rehabilitating the Lauderdale building at 136 Westminster St. into large apartments aimed at young families and retirees. (Most of the apartments will have one bedroom, two bathrooms, and a den.)

Edelman created a calculator that shows the difference between his project with a tax treaty and without one. Without the tax agreement, he said, the rate of return is less than his interest on the debt, and less than investors could get by parking their money in a US treasury bill instead. It’s like “asking people to light money on fire,” he said.

Smiley acknowledges the high commercial tax rate, which he’s proposing to keep the same in his budget this year after slightly lowering the rate last year. But he said the city cannot currently afford to lower it again.

“If I could wave a magic wand, I would make our rates much more competitive and do away with all tax incentives, and everyone would benefit,” Smiley said. “But that’s not feasible.”

Miller said she is seeking to dispel the notion that the all-Democratic, 15-member council — which is more progressive than the last one — is opposed to tax subsidies for development, calling them a “very important tool.”

She sponsored legislation to reform the tax treaty process in 2021, creating more standard agreements and requiring a long list of items to qualify for a tax deal including fair labor standards, the use of apprenticeship programs, and a contribution to a city parks fund.

The council wants to make sure each project actually needs the tax break, Miller said, which is why they hired a consultant to dig into the finances of one of the four Gano Street apartment buildings, the first from the backlog to be approved. The other three buildings of the complex were rejected for tax deals because they aren’t starting construction within a year.

Majority Leader Jim Taylor said he’s concerned the slow pace of approvals is sending the wrong message to developers at a time when the city is desperate for more housing.

“You can hear the door creaking shut,” Taylor told the Globe. “It’s sending the message of: go to Warwick or Cranston or Boston or somewhere else.”

But Councilor Miguel Sanchez said he doesn’t want to just “rubber stamp” every tax deal. He voted no on both the Gano Street and Tockwotton projects.

“This council wants to take our time and do our due diligence,” Sanchez said. “Before, they would be received and almost automatically approved.”

Sanchez said the projects must contain some affordable housing in order to receive his support for a tax treaty, which is why he voted against several of them.

Among the projects that have now been greenlit is a $3 million historic renovation of the former Westminster Unitarian Church on Adelaide Avenue, which is being turned into 15 apartments. Most are one-bedroom units ; some are studios. Several original stained-glass windows dating back to the 1800s will be preserved.

Developer Tom Clayton, a former New England Patriots player, said he initially planned to have all market-rate apartments, but he was urged by council members to include affordable housing, so he changed the project plan to have 25 percent of units restricted to 80 percent of the area median income.

He applied for the tax stabilization agreement in June 2023, and the council approved it last week. The building is expected to open in spring 2025 after several delays while waiting for approvals.

“Without the TSA, the project would not have been feasible,” Clayton said. The deal reduces the building’s taxes by $329,000 over 10 years.

The Tockwotton nursing home project is being developed by Dustin Dezube, who is represented by Conley. Dezube began construction “at great risk” while waiting more than a year for his tax treaty to be considered, Conley said.

The vacant former nursing home will become roughly 70 apartments. Conley said the project has a $1 million financing gap because of the delayed tax treaty, which Dezube is trying to close by seeking affordable housing subsidies from Rhode Island Housing.

“The reason why we’re so far along is because we hadn’t heard from the council in 15 months,” Conley said. “We can’t just keep a project static for that time period.” The approved agreement reduces the development’s property taxes by $575,000 over 10 years.

There are now 10 applications pending, including a proposal for a six-story, 191-unit apartment building on Bassett Street , which applied for a tax treaty last month.

Tax treaties are just one way to incentivize development, and are separate from the controversial 8-Law tax breaks for affordable housing that are currently being debated at both the state and local level.

There are currently 63 active tax stabilization agreements in the city covering more than 100 properties, the vast majority of which were issued during the Elorza administration. (The list, which can be viewed in the map above, does not include the Providence Place Mall because its tax treaty is not considered a TSA.)

“This is a tool in the toolbox that should be deployed as necessary,” Smiley said. “But not every developer needs it.”
