Vibrators : Vibrators & Adult Toys : Target
The best vibrators (and best sex toys in general) are not only powerful, but also easy and practical to use, with features like quiet motors, travel locks and extensive run times. We consulted experts for their advice on what to look out for when you’re shopping for one, and below have curated 10 of the best vibrators for just about every budget—ranging from accessibly priced options to high-end sex toys. We’ve also shared expert tips on how to properly clean and maintain your vibrator to get the most (and safest) use out of it. “If you want to enjoy more intense and overwhelming sensations (both internally and externally), it doesn’t get better than the Womanizer Duo 2,” Dr. O’Reilly tells SELF. It combines the air-pulse technology of a clitoral suction vibrator with a curved arm that has 14 vibration settings and slips inside. A toy that targets your clit and your G-spot at the same time, she says (sort of like a rabbit vibe, but better).
So we spoke with experts and tested some for ourselves to find the best wand vibrators around. This dual-action couples massager is so high-tech, it’s as if it were sent to us from the year 3000 by benevolent, sex-savvy innovators who have totally nailed the whole simultaneous orgasm thing. The Duo can pleasure both partners at once with its two motors, multiple vibrating patterns and a wireless remote that helps operate the toy by coordinating with the user’s hand movements. Check out the Lelo site for detailed instructions on how to get the most pleasure out of the massager. It uses built-in sensors to see how your body responds to it in real time, and offers insight on what kind of stimulation works best for your sexual pleasure via a companion app.
Just as Auerbach’s Muff possessed a certain something missing in otherwise identical Sovteks , so it was with a Version-6 (V6) Electro-Harmonix Big Muff used by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem for his band’s fuzz-bass tones. As 40-something pedals will, Murphy’s V6 Big Muff got a bit fussy for tour life, so Stillman and EQD were tasked with crafting a replacement. In strictly sonic terms, that means lots of grind, presence, and a delectable balance between air and aggression that make the Chelsea soar. Like a vintage V6 Big Muff, it features a tone-bypass switch which removes the tone pot entirely. The midrange-heavy result is appealing and impressive in its own punky way.
Just note that the Soraya Wave isn’t as quiet or discreet as the other rabbits in this round-up, and may not be one for beginners due to lack of detailed instructions. They were then asked to rate each toy on its ease of use, design and performance, providing feedback on what they liked, what aspects could be improved and how it made them feel. If for any reason, you’re not completely satisfied with your product or solution from Martin Engineering, we will happily honor our Absolutely No Excuses Guarantee and fully refund your money or provide a better solution for you. Like all our ball vibrators, this pneumatic vibrator is ideal for knocking down material blockages and is built for the toughest conditions.
The Magic Wand has been a mainstay for over 50 years, and now there’s a more convenient cordless version. The design is so recognizable and iconic that people have even made merch for it. “It’s been referred to as the Cadillac of Vibrators — and with good reason,” said Finn. He thoroughly enjoyed the sensation of the oscillation, got hard quickly, and had powerful orgasms.

Rabbit vibrators are the sex toy definition of great in theory, forgettable in practice. That’s because as nice as dual stimulation sounds, actually finding a toy that is sized in a way that it actually reaches enough inside you and your clit at the same time is not as easy as you’d think. And that’s not even getting into the fact that merely sticking a few inches of vibrator inside of you doesn’t necessarily give the stimulation you’d hope for. The We-Vibe Tango is “an upgrade to the standard bullet vibrator,” as Mashable culture reporter Anna Iovine puts it. Ditching the batteries allows this bullet vibe to achieve deep, rumbly vibrations, despite being small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. Unlike the typical rounded edge, the lipstick-slanted edge of this bullet vibe allows for more stimulating options — the vibe’s three speeds and five patterns also help in this department.
This type of vibrator can be more ergonomic for people who may find it challenging to grip the base of a toy like a dildo or a wand. But in partner lovemaking, vibrators don’t replace men any more than power tools replace carpenters. On the contrary, as the studies just mentioned demonstrate, vibes add new dimensions of pleasure and satisfaction to partner lovemaking. Vibrators don’t hug, kiss, converse, tell jokes, take women out, or whisper vibrators, “I love you.” They do just one thing, deliver more intense sensation than fingers or tongues can provide.
And that’s a wonderful thing, because everyone deserves the chance to explore their body in as many ways as they see fit. “But really, this tiny body-safe ABS plastic clitoral vibe packs an, [in my opinion], unmatched punch when it comes to power, and the angled tip delivers pinpoint vibration right where you want it.” For someone who prefers more traditional vibrations over suction, the Pro 2 delivers. Its shape is perfect for maneuvering and finding the perfect spot, which I struggled with trying more “blobby” suckers like LELO’s Sona 2. Not only did I have more fun with the Pro 2, but it’s nearly half the cost of the Sona 2 — and the second-cheapest vibe on this list — at $49.95. For me, sex toys are never embarrassing, so I don’t have such a high interest in aesthetics — I want a vibrator that’s going to get the job done.
With the speed and vibration options across the two motors, SnailVibe has 600 possible combinations, according to its site. The Strawberry was unimpressive—the actual shape of it made it lackluster to use, and it’s not something I would purchase again, especially with the $79 price tag. Ultimately, I would say yes to the Cherry, and no to the Strawberry, if I was looking to snag something from Emojibator’s toy lineup. If you’re determined to use the Cherry in the bath, the rating and several user reviews on Emojibator’s site indicate that you should have a nice time—my testing was skewed due to my initial struggle to find the charging port. As the name implies, Emojibators are vibrators that look just like Emojis. The product selection is quite small and the bestsellers frequently sell out, so if any grab your eye, grab them quickly.
Movies were invented in 1890, and by 1891, pornography was being filmed. During the 1920s, vibrators began showing up in stag films, which stripped the devices of their disguise and quickly made them socially unacceptable. Vibrator advertisements disappeared from the consumer media, and vibrators were hard to find well into the 1970s. That changed when feminism emerged right around the time that Hitachi introduced its Magic Wand, still the world’s most popular vibrator.
