“This is a classic toy to add to a collection,” says Megan Stubbs, EdD board-certified sexologist and author of Playing Without a Partner. “[It’s] a very powerful wand vibrator and it can be used on any body part you like. Bonus: You can also use it for non-sexual uses too, like sore muscles.” Initially designed as a body massager, in fact, the Magic Wand gained popularity in the 1970s for its not-so-secret use as one of best devices for clitoral stimulation. And while previous iterations of the iconic sex toy needed to be plugged in during use, this much more convenient version packs a punch minus the cord. It features four intensities and four vibration patterns, and runs for an impressive three hours on a single charge. The Magic Wand can be used to produce pleasurable sensations for just about anyone, and the intensity of its vibrations is virtually unmatched. Note, however, that the Magic Wand is not waterproof.

Maude is a BIPOC- and woman-founded sexual wellness brand that sells high-quality products at wallet-friendly prices, and the Maude Vibe is one of its standouts. Crafted from smooth, platinum-grade silicone, the three-speed, flutter-tip device is designed for external stimulation, and its maximum intensity level doesn’t disappoint. It’s small enough to easily travel with, its motor is quiet compared to similar sex toys, and it’s backed by a one-year warranty.

Lelo is a premier name in the luxury sex-toy market, and the brand carries an array of items for all bodies and preferences. This prostate vibrator is one of the best sex toys for men (or anyone with a penis), and puts two separate motors to use: one in the base and one in the tip of the device. It uses a remote control, which makes the toy enjoyable for both solo play or with a partner, and it’s made with body-safe silicone/ABS plastic. Like all of the brand’s products, the Lelo Hugo also comes with a one-year warranty and a 10-year quality guarantee.

The ergonomic shape of the We-Vibe Sync 2 makes it ideal for comfortable use while targeting both G-spot and clitoral stimulation during partnered sex. Like many of the brand’s other products, this one syncs with the We-Vibe app so you (or your partner) can control it via smartphone. With 10 intensity levels, the We-Vibe Sync 2 is made with a smooth silicone and is fully waterproof.

This bendable vibrator is designed to provide precise stimulation for the G-spot, or wherever else you prefer to use it—it can work for both internal and external use. With 16 intensities, the MysteryVibe Poco is made of premium silicone and uses two different motors. It also syncs to an app, making this one a fun toy for couples as well.

Size: 3.25  x 2.2 x 1.2 inches | Material: Silicone | Settings: 5 intensities, 5 patterns | Run time on full charge: 1 hour | Waterproof: Yes

The Pom is designed with a ridge to provide targeted clitoral stimulation, but its wide base also lends itself well to sensations across the vulva. It’s a small-but-mighty waterproof vibrator that features five intensity levels and five pattern modes. Made from medical-grade silicone, the Dame Pom is also impressively quiet for how powerful it is.

“Dame has really good products,” says Gigi Engle, resident sex expert at SexToys.co.uk and author of All The F*cking Mistakes: A Guide to Sex, Love, and Life. “They’re reliable and high-quality.” While Dame’s collection does lean toward the pricier side, they’re certainly less expensive than some of the other luxury brands out there. The Pom also has a handy feature that locks, so it won’t accidentally turn on in your luggage and surprise a TSA agent while you’re going through security.

The Eva is marketed as a couples vibrator, since it can securely stay in place during intercourse. Customers note that getting the hang of its use with a partner may take some trial and error, but rave about the power this one packs for its size, particularly at the highest of its three settings. Like the Pom, the Dame Eva is also designed with medical-grade silicone and comes with a travel setting.

Size: 3.9 x 0.9 inches | Material: Silicone/ABS plastic | Settings: 8 | Run time on full charge: 2 hours | Waterproof: Yes

With eight settings and up to two hours of use on a single charge, this upgraded take on the classic bullet vibe is a worthy addition to your collection. “I love how powerful it is despite being so tiny, which makes it a lot easier to travel with discreetly,” says Lisa Finn, sex educator for Babeland and Good Vibes. “The inclined shape of the tip, the smooth plastic body and the easy-to-grip and control textured silicone buttons make the We-Vibe Tango X stand out to me when compared to other bullets.” It’s also waterproof and comes with a travel-lock feature as well.
