Vibes, as a recap, are motorized sex toys designed to deliver sensations that the human body simply can’t create on its own “They are great for all people no matter genital configuration because they bring blood flow to the area, which ultimately supports arousal,” explains Carol Queen, PhD, a sex educator with Good Vibes and co-author of The Sex & Pleasure Book: Good Vibrations Guide to Great Sex for Everyone. That means vibes are for anyone and everyone—cisgender women, transgender women, nonbinary and gender-expansive femmes, and anyone else who wants to bring a little more buzz to their body or bits.

The 12 best vibrators for women
The Magic Wand has been a fan favorite for 50 years and counting—and for good reasons. Credited for launching the wand massager category, this iconic toy sports a long handle for easy reach and a bulbous head that delivers deep vibrators into your erogenous pelvic tissues and muscles alike.
The newest model, named the Magic Wand Waterproof, is the brand’s first-ever waterproof vibrator. It has the powerful motor and ergonomic shape that fans love, but it offers the mobility of a cordless toy and is totally safe to submerge. The simple interface also shortens the learning curve associated with new toys, making it great for beginners and pros alike.
“The Magic Wand Waterproof is an excellent option for anyone who enjoys baths,” says certified sex educator and intimacy expert Sarah Tomchesson, CSE. “My favorite way to use it is by putting a few drops of bath oil in the bath and running the wand along tension points in my body to relax and ease into the experience,” she says. While shower solo sex isn’t a regular part of my masturbation routine, I love that this toy is submersible, which makes cleaning it a breeze. (All you need is warm water and fragrance-free soap.)
At $199, the Magic Wand Waterproof is priced on par with other luxury options. But if you're looking for something a bit more budget-friendly, check out the Magic Wand Mini ($99) or Magic Wand Original ($90), which are less expensive but equally user-friendly.
Pros:
- Non-corded
- Waterproof
- Impressive 2.5-hour charge life
- Intuitive design
Cons:
- Price
- Not anal safe
The Lelo Gigi has been helping pleasure-seekers squirt and scream in pleasure since 2011—and the third generation is the best to date. The Gigi 3 has a slim shaft for comfortable penetration and a distinctive, flattened head that’s perfect for applying pressure to the Gräfenberg spot (AKA the G-spot or G-zone), says Lisa Finn, a sex educator with sex-toy store Babeland. With around four inches of insertable length, the Gigi 3 offers more than enough reach to target the G-spot, “which is located, on average, just one to three inches inside the vaginal canal,” they explain.
The toy may be named and shaped for stimulation of the G-spot, but its superpowers go way beyond internal use. “The unique shape of the head is also perfect for stimulating the clitoral glans, as well as other external erogenous zones,” says Finn. In fact, because the G-spot tissues become more engorged and responsive when you’re already aroused, they recommend starting externally. Then, once you’re good-and-horny, you can lather it with a water lube and take it for a ride internally. Basically, this G-spot vibrator moonlights as a killer clit toy, too.
Pros:
- Unique, square head
- Versatile design
- Simple interface
- Waterproof
Cons:
- May not be thick or long enough for everyone
Your one-stop-shop for books and beauty tools also happens to sell buzzy bedmates—and damn good ones at that. One of the best vibrators on Amazon is the Ava Personal Vivv Classic. A beginner- and budget-friendly wand vibrator, this top-seller has racked up more than 15,000 glowing four- and five-star reviews from happy pleasure-seekers.
Even better? It checks all expert criteria for safe, sexy play: It’s made from body-safe silicone, features an impressively quiet motor, and uses just three buttons to easily cycle through its 28 total vibration settings.
Good news for beginners: The Vivv Classic is slightly shorter than most other massagers. Measuring in at nine inches long, this pick is less intimidating than full-sized options, while still offering the ease-of-use promised by wand toys.
Pros:
- Intuitive button display
- Quiet motor
- Accessible shape
- Variety of settings
Cons:
- Not waterproof
The majority of people with clits need that nerve-dense bud stimulated to orgasm. Or, at the very least, find solo and partnered sex more enjoyable when it is. Welp, clit sucking vibrators were specifically designed to give that orgasm-inducing body part that sweet, sweet attention it deserves. If you’re curious about this kind of clit-focused tech, you can’t do better than the Womanizer Premium 2.
This top sucker toy utilizes Womanizer's Pleasure patented Pleasure Air™ technology to deliver gentle yet effective clitoral suction without ever touching your clit directly, explains licensed clinical social worker and AASECT-certified sex therapist Shamyra Howard, PhD, CST, LCSW.
What really sets the Womanizer apart—and makes it worth the investment—is its unique Smart Silence™ feature. This keeps the toy in a quiet, standby mode until it touches your skin, helping preserve battery life and sparing you from buzzing background noise if you toss the toy after you O. Also great: The toy comes with two separate nozzle attachments to accommodate a range of body shapes.
Pros:
- Clitoral stimulation
- Whisper quiet
- Customizable fit
Cons:
- Not for internal stimulation
- Sensation not for everyone
This wearable sex toy has a little something to offer everybody, though you might not know it at first glance.
The We-Vibe Chorus is a C-shaped toy that was initially designed to be worn by vulva-owners during vaginal penetration. “It’s a super adjustable vibrator that curves from the clitoris around to the G-spot,” explains Finn. Unlike duel-stimulating rabbits, the Chorus’s internal arm is no bigger than a pendrive, making it comfortable for wear during vaginal intercourse, they explain. “Your partner will be able to feel the vibrators all along their penis or fingers, which enhances sensation for them, too,” they said.
Here’s what most people don’t realize: “The We-Vibe Chorus is also a great option for hands-free clitoral vibrators outside of partnered sex, a wearable vibrator for public play, and a great addition for strap-on play,” says Finn. (The partner rocking the harness can wear the Chorus underneath for extra stimulation.)
The Chorus also comes with a remote and is app-compatible, making it great for long-distance or creative public play.
Pros:
- Very versatile
- Adjustable shape
- App-compatible
- Remote controllable
Cons:
- May not fit all anatomies
The Dame Zee is a basic bullet vibrator bar none. “Its budget-friendly price is one of its standout features, but it’s not cheap by any means,” according to Finn. say. Small, smooth, and body-safe, this simply-crafted option has everything you want in a discreet, beginner-friendly toy—and nothing you don’t. “It has a single button which you can utilize to cycle through the three low, medium, and high settings,” Finn explains.
The Zee’s versatility comes not in spite of—but because of—its compact size. You can hold it against your labia, clitoral glans, nipples, or anywhere else you (or your partner) enjoy external sensation. It also fits neatly into the vibe pocket of a strap-on harness for hands-free play.
Pros:
- Budget- and beginner-friendly
- Versatile design
- Discrete
Cons:
- Splashproof but not waterproof
- No travel lock
The Seeker is a versatile two-for-one toy that’s perfect for the anal-curious. Both ends of this double-ended vibe can be inserted either vaginally or anally. Just be sure to clean it thoroughly between uses, or slip on a fresh condom before moving from backdoor to front.
One end features a gently curved design, which is perfect for targeted G-spot or P-spot stimulation, says Finn. With a diameter of less than 1.5 inches around—roughly the girth of two fingers—it’s friendly on beginner bums, they say. “The bumpy, bead-like handle can also be used as a penetrative toy,” they say. As each bead enters, you’ll experience a unique stretch-and-release sensation that’s especially enjoyable for those who like feeling full.
If you use this Playboy Pleasures toy for peach play, just don’t forget lube. The anal canal never self-lubricates, so a generous amount of water-based lube is essential. It makes entry more comfortable, reduces friction, and helps prevent any discomfort or injury.
Pros:
- Anal-safe
- Versatile, double-ended design
- 10 different vibration settings
Cons:
- Figuring out how you like to use the toy may take time
The Princette Puppypus is a popular vibe amongst queer and transgender women. Made by Cute Little Fuckers, a queer-owned, trans-inclusive company committed to designing toys that fit a variety of bodies and identities, this vibrator is built to delight anybody and any body, according to Queen.
At first glance, this vibrator may just look like a goofy butt plug —but the Princette Puppypus offers far more than anal fullness, she says. Yes, the round, octopus-like head can be used for anal or front-hole penetration. But the flat underbelly of the vibrator can also be used to deliver diffuse vibrators across a wide surface area for those craving external sensation. You can also angle the head or pointy tentacles in different ways for precise, pinpointed pleasure, adds Queen.
Made from smooth, body-safe silicone, the toy is rechargeable, waterproof, and operates quietly. Its medium-to-mild vibration strength is perfect for folks just beginning their vibrator journey or anyone who prefers more subtle sensations, says Queen. And, as she puts it: “Plus, it’s just hella cute.”
Pros:
- Versatile shape
- Affirming design
- Made with queer and trans people in mind
Cons:
- Vibrator with face won’t appeal to all
This Smile Makers creation may look like a computer mouse from the early 2000s, but it’s actually one of the most comfortable, external toys I’ve ever used. The Ballerina is a lay-on vibrator made to envelope your entire vulva in a hug of rumbly sensation. Its gently curved underside contours to the natural slope of your body. When using it on your back, this keeps the toy in place for a hands-free vibration.
The Ballerina is a strand-out pick for those who enjoy diffuse vibrations or who get off on grinding and humping. Trust, it really shines during prone (face-down) positions; slide it under your body during doggy style to see for yourself.
With 12 different settings, a user-friendly button set-up, and a surprisingly quiet motor (even on the most powerful mode), this toy combines power with practicality. External toy lovers, this one is for you.
Pros:
- Stimulates large surface
- Intuitive design
- Comfortable to hold
Cons:
- Not for internal use
If your pleasure motto is more is more, then you’ll want a rabbit vibrator. A type of dual-stimulation toy, rabbits have one arm for internal stimulation and a second “bunny ear” arm for simultaneous clitoral stimulation. The Happy Rabbit Mini is excellent for those who have never utilized a two-in-one toy before, as well as those looking for a toy that doesn’t resemble a penis, according to Finn. “It has a simple design with a slender and smooth shaft and those iconic bunny ears.”
While this two-prong toy may be made for internal and external play, Finn recommends starting slow. “A lot of people just dive in right away, which isn’t wrong, but sometimes our bodies need more time to become aroused, they explain. Their tip: Use the toy externally, stimulating your clitoris and then your vaginal opening before slowly penetrating yourself.
Another perk? The Happit Rabbit Mini is safe for anal play. The rabbit head functions as a flared base, preventing full insertion. The arm isn’t as tapered as most anal toys, and thus isn’t suitable for beginner anal players, but experienced users can enjoy using this toy in a variety of ways.
Pros:
- Duel-stimulation design
- Non-phallic design
- Safe for anal penetration
Cons:
- Louder than other vibrators
- Long arm may not be the right girth or length for all
Finn thinks that everyone should have a good bullet vibrator in their sex toy arsenal—but the We-Vibe Tango is their all-time favorite. “The thing I love most about the Tango X is how powerful it is,” they say. Small toys have small motors, which generally translates to a lower-intensity, buzzy sensation. But the Tango X delivers impressively deep, rumbly vibrations that are on par with We-Vibe’s larger toys.
“The Tango X has a tip angled like a lipstick tube tip, which can be used for super pinpointed direct stimulation,” says Finn. To stimulate more nerve endings at once, you can also press the flattened head to your hot spots or the long edge of the toy against yourself. “The toy also has raised buttons, which are easy to find and control when you’re actually using it,” they add. Plus, it’s discreet, quiet, and waterproof.
Pros:
- Rumbly vibrators
- Precision tip
- Versatile design
Cons:
- Not anal safe
- Short battery life
Technically speaking, the Zumio isn’t a vibrator but a whole other kind of pleasure-maker. “A pinpoint clitoral stimulator, the Zumio uses a tiny rotating tip to deliver a super-concentrated sensation,” explains Rachel Wright, LMFT, a New York-based sex and relationship psychotherapist and sex educator with the brand. Unlike wand or grinding vibrators that distribute sensation across a wide surface area, “the Zumio zeroes in on an ultra-specific area, delivering a completely different sensation from most other toys,” she says.
This unique toy is a great fit for people who enjoy precise clitoral touch, says Wright. Prefer a taut tongue when receiving oral or those who use just one or two fingers while masturbating? Zumio could become your dessert island toy. Thanks to the slim, pen-like handle, it also fits seamlessly between two or more bodies during partnered play.
Pros:
- Travel-lock
- Pinpointed stimulation
- Long, 4+ hour use time
Cons:
- Not for internal stimulation
- Only for clitoral stimulation
