Some of us are more daring than others — ahem, size queens. If that’s you, G-spot vibrators are probably your go-to boudoir. Dame’s Arc has a slim girth for beginners, but also offers plenty of length for those looking to experiment with G-spot exploration.
Made from soft silicone, Smile Makers’ The Fireman vibrator features a rounded tip and a unique flame shape designed to carry vibration from the clitoral nubs to the labia. Enjoy four different speeds and two pulsation modes with this silent clitoral stimulator.
Palm vibrators do just that: they fit right in the palm of your hand. Palm vibrators like the LILY 3 are an understated pleasure-giver and a powerful option for those with limited mobility. And if you’re still exploring your sex-positive side, the LILY 3 is discreet.
Crave’s Bullet comes in a sleek silver exterior and offers a chic new take on the classic vibrator design. This USB rechargeable vibrator comes with four different speeds and pulses that users can easily select by clicking a single button.
As the name suggests, the Bender by Unbound is designed with a flexible body and can be used at 10 speeds with different patterns. Waterproof, rechargeable and quiet, this well-reviewed vibrator is an ideal option to keep in your bedside table.
A popular design from female-led sex toy company Dame Products, the Kip Lipstick Vibrator features a bendable, curved tip that flutters at the higher speeds of its five intensity levels. Choose between the bright hues of “Lemon” and the pastel “Lavender.”
Clitoral vibrators are one of the most beloved trends in the sexual wellness space, and it shows no signs of slowing down — hey Katy Perry. When it comes to this type of toy, Lovehoney’s Rose Toy will always be the best for beginners. It’s discreet, yet super powerful, and easy to throw in your bag when you’re traveling. It’s also quieter than most sex toys, which is perfect for those who still live at home.
If you’ve already tried the Rose Toy and want to go in a new direction, Dame’s Aer and Unbound’s Puff are also perfect for beginners – and very cost-effective for us Gen Z girls.
