The 20 Best Discreet & Quiet Sex Toys for a Crowded House

The bottom button’s sole purpose is to cycle backward through the aforementioned settings—a lifesaver when you wish to revisit a prior setting without cycling through 14 other settings along the way. The small, sleek Satisfyer Purple Pleasure vibrator is an excellent value at a typical price of $40 (a similar model from a different manufacturer that we’ve tested retails for $90), yet it makes no sacrifices in quality. With its aesthetically pleasing streamlined shape, waterproof silicone body, and USB rechargeable battery, this toy looks and feels like a more expensive “luxury” vibrator.

Heavy-handed strumming confirms that the Gold Label 814e is capable of being very loud. It also highlights a pronounced midrange that, for all the guitar’s string-to-string balance, can be a bully if you have a heavy touch. If your approach is more varied and sensitive, though, the extra volume becomes headroom and the midrange becomes a chrome shine set against a dusty desert patina. A light touch can still generate detailed, complex overtone pictures, while the high headroom accommodates and inspires high-contrast high-intensity counter phrasings. Say the word “vibrator,” and visions of a cylindrical, buzzing thing will undoubtedly come to mind. And while this dildo-like toy is what a lot of people are referring to when they talk about a vibrators, phallic objects really only comprise one branch of the larger vibrator tree in the diverse and beautiful garden of sex toys.

Its slim profile is ideal for pinpoint stimulation of the clitoris or nipples, and its metal construction means you can play with heating it up or cooling it down for some sexy temperature play, too. It’s rare to find a bullet vibe that’s made to be used internally, but this one is, which makes it a standout in my collection. It’s got a small curve to hit the G-spot when inserted vaginally, but that same curve also makes it useful for applying targeted pressure to different parts of the clitoris. The motor is thrillingly rumbly, too, meaning it’s less likely to cause the numb or itchy feeling that some buzzier (i.e. higher-pitched) vibrations can cause. Doctors or midwives applied vegetable oil to women’s genitals and then massaged them with one or two fingers inside and the heel of the hand pressing against the clitoris. With this type of massage, women had orgasms and experienced sudden, dramatic relief from hysteria.

“The angled tip can be tilted for pinpointed pleasure, or you can roll the vibrator across erogenous zones like your nipples, perineum, or vulva for a more smooth and diffused sensation,” she says. There’s a huge range of insertable vibrators and sex toys that target this zone, including dual-stimulation ones (like rabbit vibrators), curved toys, and models with bulbous heads that pulse or thrust. A popular option for power-hunters, this 13-inch wand has four intensity settings and four vibration patterns. It also has a flexible neck that lets you apply pressure at different angles for a more targeted sensation. It has a cord , so you never have to worry about it crapping out on you mid-session.

Not only is it made from recycled materials in a green-powered factory, the brand promises to plant a tree with every purchase and it offers a repair and recycle scheme. What’s more, the base is compatible with all Love Not War detachable heads, so you can mix things up depending on your mood. I stand by the fact that it didn’t really need an upgrade in the first place, but the waterproof design is especially welcome. The 40-minute battery life just isn’t enough some days, but I might be greedy. Frankly, I don’t need more than a couple minutes with the Vesper 2 to orgasm viberator, so unless I’m making it a whole hour-long sexual self-care session, 40 minutes is enough.
