Can Using a Vibrator Too Much Be Harmful?
The best remote control vibrators can turn a run-of-the-mill romp into mind-blowing sex with the press of a button. Of course, most of the objects we’ll discuss are not just for solo use. And, as with anything that has to do with sex, there is no one size fits all approach. You might be comfortable with some of the methods we’ll discuss and uncomfortable with others, or you might try one out and find that it doesn’t really do it for you. While it does its job and does it well, Le Wand is one of the louder toys on this list.
The shaft is inserted inside the vagina and rumbles to stimulate the G-spot while the sucker positions directly over the clit to stimulate with air technology. This tiny silicone suction toy comes in handy (pun intended) whether you’re enjoying a solo masturbation session or a steamy rendezvous with a partner. It keeps things simple when alone—and arguably is easy to maneuver—and when you’re with a partner it allows the focus to remain with each other while freeing up a second hand. LELO’s developed numerous suction toys, and its newest product is arguably the best in class. This sonic clit stimulator uses sonic pulses that provide deep, earth-shattering pleasure, and the larger mouth gently draws in the clitoris to stimulate both inside and out.
This makes the Lovense Lush 3 a great toy for anyone with a long distance partner, allowing you to hand over the reins. It even comes with an ‘intelligent mode’, so you can enjoy the experience without worrying about which buttons to press. We asked our Good Housekeeping Institute testing panel, made up of over 130 women of all ages, to put a range of vibrators through their paces. It’s very important to always clean your vibrator, as bacteria left on the toy can cause infections such as urinary tract infections.
As unique as this option may look in my collection of microphone-shaped wand vibes, the curved head makes it easier to hit my hot spots. Often, my wrist cramps up and my arms tucker out from holding a vibrator at the angle I need to pleasure myself—but I’ve never had that problem with the ergonomic Mega Massager. I also love that this budget-friendly pick includes a knobby silicone sleeve that can slide over the smooth attachment for some extra texture. This wand vibrator comes highly recommended by Jessica O’Reilly , PhD, host of the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast and co-author of The Ultimate Guide to Seduction and Foreplay.
One of the slimmest suction vibrators available, the We-Vibe Melt is our pick for partnered and multi-partnered play. Designed to fit between two bodies during intercourse viberators, it can seamlessly slide in place for non-intrusive clitoral pleasure. Choose from 12 different intensity levels using the buttons on the back of the toy or through the We-Vibe app. This wand from FemmeFunn is one of my all-time favorites, thanks to its simple controls, wide range of vibration patterns, and delightful texture it delivers. Covered in buttery, body-safe silicone, it feels silky and skinlike—not sticky or tacky, as can be the case with lower-quality toys.
