When shopping for a new vibrator, it’s essential to think about how you’ll be using it, so start with the age-old question: clitoral or G-spot stimulation? If you’re a sex toy beginner, you’ll most likely want to start with vibrators geared toward the clit, as they’re typically easier to use. (Note: External vibrators can also be used on other parts of the body outside of the vulva.) More experienced users, however, might be intrigued by G-spot-targeting vibrators. And if you want to dabble, there are some that can pleasure both at the same time. (Related: ​​This Powerful $29 Rabbit Vibrator Is Amazon's Most-Wanted Sex Toy)

Another question to ponder: targeted or broad stimulation? If you enjoy tantalizing pleasure across your vulva, then you’ll most likely find a vibe soulmate in a broad, all-over-stimulating pick. On the other hand, if you only like focusing on one area, then a targeted vibrator is probably more for you. From there, you can experiment with the size, shape, and material of your vibrator, as well as the vibration speeds and patterns they offer.

But before you get to the good stuff, remember that masturbation has no gender. It’s 2022, and no one should be sticking to binary norms anymore. Transgender and nonbinary folks can use any of these toys as they’d like. Don’t let the “for women” label discourage you; if it intrigues you, try it! 

If you've never used a vibrator while masturbating, get ready for your life to change. Shape staffers love Satisfyer because all its solo toys technically don't vibrate: They use pressure wave stimulation, which essentially surrounds your clitoris instead of touching it directly and utilizes air pressure to suck on it. It sounds intense, but the touch-free sensation is actually great for newbies because it's less direct stimulation, yet it still delivers serious pleasure.

The Pro Penguin offers 11 different speeds to choose from and is designed to fit in your hand comfortably. Plus, it’s waterproof for some wet-and-wild exploration, and it has an ultra-quiet whisper mode if you're trying to keep your new hobby on the DL. “I got that suction just right and I was doing some major laundry the next morning,” one reviewer wrote. Another noted that it’s an excellent choice for trans and nonbinary vibe enthusiasts. 

A top-notch solo session should be just as pleasurable as one with a partner — and that's precisely what the Nova delivers. This is one of the best couples vibrators because it not only offers dual stimulation to hit both your G-spot and clitoris, but the outer arm is designed to be flexible so as to keep the sensation on target outside as you move the wand inside. It has super-easy-to-control speeds and offers 10 speeds and preset patterns. Bonus: All We-Vibe products are compatible with an app, so you can still “be involved,” as one shopper in a long-distance relationship put it. (Related: 14 Best Vibrators to Use with a Partner)

Bringing sex toys into the bedroom should be NBD — after all, it's just another way to spice things up, especially in a long-term relationship. But with wands or bullets, someone's hands are still busy maneuvering the device. This U-shaped vibrator, on the other hand, is totally hands-free, helping to make it one of the best-selling couples' vibrators on Amazon. One arm sits on your clitoris and the other slips inside you (don't worry, it's slim enough that you can be penetrated with a partner's penis or strap-on too), so both you and your partner will get to feel that extra vibration.

There are a couple of really great U-shaped couples’ vibrators out there, but here's what makes Phanxy's option the best vibrator for women interested in using it for partner play: The arms are adjustable to fit your unique shape, targeting the G-spot and clitoris with more or less pressure (and actually staying in place once adjusted). Plus, it's compatible with a wireless remote control, so your partner can take control. It’s not hard to see why it has more than 9,300 five-star ratings on Amazon.

The vibrator options specifically made for female couples are slim pickings compared to the hetero choices, but the ShareVibe is a pretty great toy for dual penetration. The wearable double dildo — the shorter arm goes inside you and the longer end, protruding out from between your legs, can be inserted into your partner — has vibration in both shafts, so both you and your woman can experience extra pleasure during penetration. The sensation comes from a removable five-speed magic bullet, which is an extra perk if you're playing by yourself and don't want to buy another toy. Most reviewers note this one works best in horizontal positions since gravity isn't friendly to giant pieces of silicone, but the double vibrator is also harness-compatible if you want more worry-free versatility.

Whether you're squeamish about what the TSA guys see on their X-ray scan, worried about your boss standing next to you as you open your carry-on to fish out your laptop, or just want something that leaves enough room in your suitcase for another pair of shoes, the Mia 2 is the best vibrator for women looking to get off away from home. It looks so much like a lipstick tube that you should probably be careful what you pull out of your purse when you go to reapply. In addition to the compact size and incognito design, this discreet vibe has eight speeds and five patterns — unlike a lot of bullets. Talk about all the comforts of home. Not only is it easy to throw in your carry-on, but reviewers say it’s super quiet and has lots of power, too. (Want options? Here are more of the best mini vibrators for travel.)

The folks at Crave like to say the Duet is so quiet, you could use it in a library. And while that might not be the best idea, maybe you have three roommates and paper-thin walls, maybe you're visiting your parents for the weekend, or maybe you're trying to score a little alone time while your partner is in the other room. The Duet may be almost silent, but it's also powerful. This unique design is intended to surround the clitoris. On each prong, each curve of the tip is a different shape, delivering a ton of options for pressure and intensity. And with a metal base, the vibration is isolated to the silicone tip instead of spreading to your hand. To top it off, every device Crave makes looks so sleek that it turns masturbating into one classy affair. 

Nothing ruins the moment quite like a hand cramp that makes you fumble your vibrator just when you reach the perfect position. Thankfully, there are plenty of ergonomic vibes out there, including this clit stimulator from Svakom. But don't underestimate the simple design of the Echo (which, despite its name, is quiet). The tongue-shaped toy with five vibration settings is one of the best clit vibrators. And while it's obviously great on your nether regions, the easy-to-hold shape allows you to leverage the toy to stimulate whatever part of the body you want: your nipples, even a partner’s perineum.

Yes, there are vibrators that offer up triple arms so you can attack all your pleasure spots at once. (Can you say blended orgasm?!) The problem? Every woman has different distances between her clitoris, vagina, and anus — so a fixed toy doesn't work for everyone. That's why the PicoBong's double-ended vibe is the best vibrator for women who want stimulation everywhere. With a sensation on each end and a bendable strip of silicone in between, you can twist, wrap, fold, and tie this versatile toy to enter, touch, or hug whatever body parts you want to feel the buzz. “So many options in a new and stimulating design,” a reviewer wrote. “We keep finding more ways to feel pleasure with this tool.” 

Your outfit sends a message to those around you — and accessorized with Crave's Vesper, you're conveying effortless elegance and eroticism all at once. This provocative necklace doubles as a powerful bullet vibrator, with a single button for four speeds of vibration. But thanks to an ultra-sleek and under-the-radar design, the silver, rose gold, or 24-karat gold toy can be worn on full display with the majority of people not even realizing what's around your neck — quite the sexy little secret. It's also the best vibrator for women who want to keep their solo sessions an actual secret; nestle the Crave into your jewelry box, and no one will be the wiser. (If you're worried about discreet packaging too, check out these other sex toys you can buy on Amazon.)

If you already have a drawer full of bullets, rabbits, rings, external vibrators, and G-spot vibrators that don't quite take you over the edge anymore, you need the Bi Stronic Fusion in your life. For starters, Fun Factory has paired its best-selling Stronic technology with one of the strongest external motors available to deliver a vibrator with a moan-inducing *64* stimulation settings. All that technology is inside not just a G-spot wand but also an arm that looks promisingly similar to a tongue, designed to put pressure on the clit and flutter against the labia simultaneously. So yeah, go ahead and cancel your plans for the night. (Related: This Vibrator Gave Me 3 Different Kinds of Orgasms in One Night)

Pom makes the list for its soft-flexing body, which follows your pelvic movements and allows you to nestle it up close to your vulva without any interruptions or re-adjusting. The curved head takes your orgasm to new heights by giving you broad and targeted stimulation, and users have their choice of five vibration patterns that can be customized with five intuitive intensity settings. In fact, the button is right where your thumb naturally lands, so you don’t have to stop the fun to crank things up. (Related: The Best Clit Vibrators, According to Sex Educators)

Not convinced? Let this reviewer sway you: “I loved the intensity and settings. I tried it in the shower and when I orgasmed with my mouth hanging open under the showerhead, I wouldn’t have cared if I drowned or slipped.”

Stocked with 12 vibration patterns and intensities, this hunky rabbit won’t stop until it finds your G-spot. The shaft flexes any way you need it to, and it’s textured in all the right places. Want more? You can still achieve all-over euphoria with the clit-stimulating vibe, which snuggles up close and provides O-summoning intensity that an Amazon reviewer said makes it “worth every dollar.” This waterproof pick has a unique ring handle that slips on your finger and makes the controls easy to access when you’re in the moment.

"Bullet vibrators are a great option for super-targeted, easy-to-manage, concentrated stimulation," Alexandra Fine, CEO of Dame Products, previously told Shape. This popular vibe has a flat tip and curved body to nail any position at any angle, giving users more versatility and ease of use. While it’s not as soft as some of the other picks on this list, reviewers assure that its concentrated stimulation and eight vibration options are no joke. One Amazon shopper said, “It doesn't just vibrate, it pounds. Worth every penny.” 

The same vibe design that you know and love, just with a modern (and sexy) upgrade. This sleek wand from Unbound gets you there with its high-powered motor and eight rumbly patterns and intensities. Heck, the feel of its silky-smooth handle is enough to get things tingling before you even turn it on. It’s perfect for solo and partner play, according to the brand and shoppers, and it doesn’t have to be plugged in like old-school wands. “Best orgasm I’ve ever had,” a reviewer raved. “I have the hardest time climaxing due to my anti-depressants but Ollie changed that for me.” (Enticed?

Consider this your sign to start experimenting with panty vibes. CalExotics’ Lock-N-Play Teaser securely fastens to your favorite undies and gets up close and personal with your clit to deliver a thrilling wave of pleasure whenever and wherever you’re in the mood. It’s operated by a small remote control that can hide in the palm of a hand, giving you and your partner 12 vibration patterns and speeds to choose from. An Amazon shopper said: “Bought this for my adventurous mate. Used it on a six-hour drive. It (I) kept her entertained. She did not ask, ‘Are we there yet?’ one time.”

Perfect for when you’re *tied up* with other tasks, the Eva vibrator ensures that your clit is still getting the attention it needs thanks to its hands-free design. Two flexible wings gently snuggle against your labia and stay in place for uninterrupted pleasure during penetration. Since it’s intended to be used during penetrative sex, the clitoral stimulator’s vibration patterns are less intense, but you still have your choice of three buzzy speeds for a customized experience. As for how secure it is, one reviewer shared, “It was comfortable and stayed in place while using with other toys…  I even walked and moved around some to see if it would stay put, which it did!” 

If you’re vibing on a budget, plusOne’s affordable line of sex toys is perfectly priced. The brand’s most popular vibrator? The Dual Vibrating Massager, a 10-setting rabbit that’s made from super soft silicone and oh-so flexible. “This is honestly my favorite product ever. It truly gets the job done and is inexpensive,” one Amazon shopper wrote, while another said, “I thought my vagina was broken. First try, on my own, I had an orgasm within two minutes. Second try with my partner, I had one and then another with him!” 

With options like “titillating pulses” and “climatic throbbing,” it’s no wonder why The Poet has a 4.5-star average rating from shoppers. Designed with all clitorises in mind, the suction vibrator uses advanced technology to produce a greater pulsation than others of its kind. But it does so without being aggressive or overstimulating — instead, it creates a deep-yet-passionate suction sensation on your clit. The vibrator has squeeze sensors for easy intensity and speed adjustments, and it comes with three interchangeable mouths, each made to softly seal around the vulva, to better suit your unique anatomy. Hence why reviewers are saying, “The pleasure that you receive from ‘The Poet’ absolutely surpasses all the other vibrators.”
