VIBCO Pneumatic Air Vibrators Turbine Piston Ball and Roller
SnailVibe’s «shell» — or curved bulb — is for clitoral stimulation, while the smooth end (or lower arm) is for vaginal stimulation. When used internally, the shell can uncoil so the lower arm can penetrate the user further (note that this can only be used vaginally, not anally). The sphere on the far end, meanwhile, has buttons to control the toy. Ultimately this is a sweet little item to treat yourself with—or even to give as a gift to friends (with their consent—not everyone has a “give one another sex toys for fun” kind of friendship).
You have internal and external anal sphincter muscles; the internal one sucks things up, so your toy could get stuck if there’s nothing to stop it, Carolanne Marcantonio, LCSW, an AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. Choose a butt plug, dildo, or prostate massager that’s designed for anal sex, and be sure to lube up too, as the anus doesn’t self-lubricate. Le Wand takes pleasure and luxury seriously, so it’s no wonder it scored highly on test. Our panellists were impressed by the range of speed settings and distinctive vibration patterns there are to experiment with, allowing them to achieve orgasms that were both faster and more intense than when using other toys.
The are plenty of settings to choose from, including nine vibrating functions and 10 suction settings vibrators, so rest assured you won’t get bored. Not only is this petite and packed with vibration patterns to play with, it’s also amazing value for money. Our panel found it easy to grip thanks to its small size, and said the tapered shape was able to provide precise stimulation that helped them achieve more intense orgasms than other toys they’d used. This winning Womanizer toy is designed to mimic the sensations of oral sex, with gentle waves and pulsations taking orgasms to a new level. Our testers loved the ‘autopilot’ feature, which automatically controls the suction speed and depth in a way that mimics oral sex from a partner.
Some of the frustration came from the way that the buttons were sunk into the silicone surface of the toy—it felt like some functionality and ease of use was sacrificed for the Strawberry’s appearance. I found the Tenuto Mini most comfortable during solo use, but it’s great with a partner, too. Using a vibrator with a partner , especially during penetration, can sometimes be a challenging (if satisfying) logistical problem. While it feels great for both of us, someone generally has to hold it in place.
Just as Auerbach’s Muff possessed a certain something missing in otherwise identical Sovteks, so it was with a Version-6 (V6) Electro-Harmonix Big Muff used by James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem for his band’s fuzz-bass tones. As 40-something pedals will, Murphy’s V6 Big Muff got a bit fussy for tour life, so Stillman and EQD were tasked with crafting a replacement. In strictly sonic terms, that means lots of grind, presence, and a delectable balance between air and aggression that make the Chelsea soar. Like a vintage V6 Big Muff, it features a tone-bypass switch which removes the tone pot entirely. The midrange-heavy result is appealing and impressive in its own punky way.
«It is very soft and I love how it’s curved to fit,» one reviewer on the Dame website wrote. «This is my first vibrator so I would say it is beginner-friendly and works well.» Last but not least, Love Triangle was the smallest and by far most discreet of the various Satisfyer toys I tried out. Whisper quiet, it’s another air pulsing, pressure wave toy that stimulates your clitoris (or nipples, follow your heart!) along with a subtle vibration function. It’s again not necessarily the tiniest and most intuitive to place for hands-free play but is easily the MVP for travel — coming with a sweet little cap to store it cleanly and quietly on-the-go.
For example, you may want a small vibrator if you plan on using it during penetrative sex, and any vibe you’ll be using anally should have a flared base so it doesn’t get lost inside you. We decided not to test the original Smile Makers’s The Billionaire because it required one AA battery for four hours of use. The redesigned version has a rechargeable battery, but costs $20 more than the Satisfyer Purple Pleasure, and is covered by a lesser warranty. We tried the 6, which is similar in shape and size to a fountain pen. Unfortunately, we found the toy’s vibrations to be a bit buzzy compared to those of the rumbly and similarly shaped We-Vibe Tango (see below). And the Ultra Power Bullet 6’s handle vibrates to an unpleasant degree.
And having the sex toy be the brainchild of postmenopausal women who talk openly about their experiences developing and using it? SnailVibe snagged the award for Most Innovative Sex Toy of the Year in 2020 from the adult publication XBIZ Europa Awards, and I can see why — it’s truly unique. In my time reviewing sex toys, I haven’t seen anything quite like this. Even other rabbits can look the same after a while, but none resemble escargot.
