“Hysteria” and the Strange History of Vibrators
This $7, highly textured option from Iroha is a great addition to your masturbation practice. Nestle the toy between your fingers with the petal-like indentations facing down. From there, you can stroke, encircle, or tap your clitoris, allowing your fingers and Plum to work as a team. What’s known as the G-spot or G-zone is most likely a small area of spongy tissue located near the front of the upper vaginal wall. Although its exact location is debated by researchers vibrator, it’s no secret that stimulating the area can feel fantastic.
If you want vibration and air suction, try the newer Pro 2 Plus which combines both sensations. “If you look at the categories of vibrators, you can kind of pare down everything into wands, ‘twice as nice’ and bullets,” says Coyote Amrich, director of purchasing and product development for Good Vibrations and Babeland. From bullets to air suction, these are the bestselling and highest-rated vibrators out there.
The Hot Octopuss Pulse II is billed as the world’s first “guybrator”, and claims to be fun to use flaccid or erect. I have to admit that I was exceedingly skeptical when I first heard about this product, but my trusted male reviewer helped me realize that this could be a very fun purchase for some guys. The Greedy Girl is one of Lovehoney’s best-selling toys, with a 4.6 star rating from more than 1800 reviews. If you are a size queen who likes deep penetration stimulating your G-spot and beyond, then the Big Boss is for you. True to its name, it measures in at 9.25 inches long (with roughly 6.5 inches of insertable length) and has a big girth of 1.06 to 1.77 inches. It provides that very full feeling and puts nice pressure on the G-spot.
If you’re new to the party-for-one game , Alexandra Fine, sexologist and co-founder of Dame has a few pointers. “Imagine the sensations of all these different kinds of vibrators.” She adds that if the sensation sounds like something you would like, your body will tell you. “Launched earlier this year, OhMiBod’s Lovelife Rev was designed with accessibility in mind. Its ergonomic design and large button are easier to grip than most vibes.” The easy-to-grip ergonomic design means all of your attention can go to getting off.
Still, it’s a worthy contender for those who enjoy dual stimulation. The tip emits high-frequency waves while the shaft provides deep rumbly vibrations, allowing you to create all manner of combinations. There are 25 speed combos and five pleasure patterns to choose between, so rest assured you’ll never get bored. Our panel of testers thought it looked discreet, and liked the size and shape. As for performance, most found it pleasurable to use and enjoyed a better and faster orgasm.
There are 10 different vibration modes and speeds to explore, and you can do so quietly with this discreet model. It’s a good pick whether you’re well acquainted with your G-spot or more of a beginner. One tester who told us they didn’t usually like a G-spot vibrator and found most models disappointing, was pleasantly surprised with this one. I’ve tried over 400 sex toys in over 12 years of writing about them professionally, including several designed for grinding. The best ones are intuitive to use, comfortable, versatile, and—of course— pleasurable. While I’ve mainly used grinders solo, I’ve also tested them in situations like dry-humping with a partner and having strap-on sex.
