Unbound Puff Compact Suction Vibrator
The power that a great vibrator brings to the table (for men, women, and everyone else) can turn a standard sex or masturbation session into a mind-blowing one. An orgasm-by-vibrator can feel stronger and deeper viberators, and that’s because, in some ways, it is. The Tulip features a rolling ball bearing at the flat tip of the toy, which feels quite strong against a fingertip but provides less-intense stimulation when pressed against a clitoris. Positioning it is complicated, and our testers said it did not provide enough stimulation to be satisfying. The Jasmine has a small, flexible, vibrating “tongue” set in a loop that is supposed to encircle the clitoris.
In vintage modes, the Viberator really favors the deep, bottom-heavy intensity that some folks treasure in vintage Uni-Vibes. On the Viberator, this deep, bass-heavy throb and pulse is apparent even in the lowest reaches of the intensity setting. Switching to the modern voice, however, puts the buffer to work—attenuating the low end, emphasizing the high end, and adding a more spacious, clean quality to the modulation. For players who switch between single-coils and humbuckers, or use darker amps, this mode can really open up the Viberator’s possibilities. Better still, the modern voice can be fine-tuned using the bright trimpot.
What is a suction vibrator (or, as most of us will call them clitoral stimulator or suction toys) and how does it work? Well, suction toys use the power of air (or sonic waves, in one case) to create a highly stimulating sensation on and around the clitoris. As you may or may not know, the clitoris is a bigger-on-the-inside marvel of biological machinery that people with vulvas have.
It’s 100 percent waterproof and made of polished 316L surgical stainless steel and nickel-free plating, meaning it’s body-safe. Its impressive shape, five vibration speeds, and seven patterns make this toy one of the best sex toys currently on the market. Every chef has their set of go-to knives, every carpenter, their trustiest tools. This set of glass anal plugs is one of my most trifectas for sex, whether I’m aiming for some backdoor foreplay or gearing up for full penile penetration. If the concept of glass sex toys sounds counterintuitive, fret not; these borosilicate glass toys are actually far more body-safe than your run-of-the-mill plastic toys , and will have less friction when entering your anus. The glass also provides a satisfying, slightly weighted sensation in the anus that can stimulate the P-spot.
This petite style of vibe, as its name suggests, is small and shaped like a bullet. These are useful for stimulating any external spot that likes vibration, and can fit into small spaces between bodies, making them ideal for pairing with penetrative sex or using with a dildo or strap-on. Usually these vibes are on the weaker side, because their limited size makes it hard to cram a high-powered motor inside, but there are some exceptions.
I suggest using your vibrator in conjunction with lube, which will help your toy glide gently across your clitoris instead of tugging at it. If you have a silicone toy, you want to avoid silicone lubes, which can break down your new purchase. It’s a water-based lube (safe for silicone toys!) that has the same wonderful texture as a silicone lube. “When men only use their hands to regularly masturbate, they essentially get used to that one sensation/grip/pressure,” explains Dr. Tara, a sex educator and coach.
They give us feedback on ease of us, range of settings, design and, crucially, performance. Our panel found it comfy to hold and easy to use thanks to the curved design, and they enjoyed experimenting with the different vibration speeds and intensity levels. The tip is shaped like a flower, which can be used both internally for G-spot stimulation or externally on the clitoris. Testers felt “very satisfied” after using the toy and said the curved design and soft gel tip enhanced their pleasure. It’s quite noisy on the higher speed settings, and testers found the buttons a little confusing to begin with, but they soon felt confident using it. Plus, it charges quickly, comes with a travel case and is fully waterproof.
It would seem that vibrators fall under the rubric of unmentionable products (Katsanis, 1994), and hence are largely avoided from scientific inquiry (at least by marketing scholars). That said, vibrators constitute a market estimated at one billion dollars in the United States alone (Chiang, 2011). Most vibrators have locking mechanisms too, which some people mistake for a faulty product. Gerek vouches that this toy makes for “explosive climaxes” with its combination of sucking, stroking, and vibration. Yes, there’s even a “climax button” you can deploy when you’re getting close to coming, and the toy will suck you in even deeper, mimicking a deep-throating sensation for an intense finish.
Both of these areas can be sensitive to internal and external stimulation. Discretion isn’t always a concern when it comes to buying and using a vibrator. But if you live in a house full of other people (particularly with kids who are curious and prone to touching things that aren’t theirs), it very well might be a priority to have a quiet and sneaky sex toy in your collection. Thankfully, your favorite sex toy shops are loaded with discreet vibrators that offer subtlety, silence, and satisfying sex in equal measure.
