Top-rated Sex Toys for Women for Enhanced Pleasure Overall by Lisa
The market for women’s sex toys is booming, with these intimate gadgets becoming a common feature in bedrooms across the UK. Gone are the days when a rabbit vibrator from Ann Summers was the only choice. Today, the market is flooded with a plethora of luxurious options, ranging from ergonomically designed pebble-shaped vibrators with multiple intensity levels to app-controlled beads designed for adventurous foreplay. And yes, the rabbit vibrator remains a reliable classic.
Despite being less stigmatized than male sex toys like prostate massagers and male masturbators, the world of women’s sex toys can still seem opaque, largely due to the UK’s lingering sexual shyness and prudishness. However, if you’re a first-time buyer, don’t let uncertainty deter you. Whether you’re looking for a gift for her or interested in some battery-powered solo play, our list of favourites is sure to have something for you.
What materials are women’s sex toys made of?
Most brands and toys use silicone in their composition, primarily because it feels velvety soft and is free of latex, a common allergen. However, body-safe silicone isn’t the only material you’ll find in the best bullet vibrators and dildos. Some designs also incorporate body-safe plastic, hard plastic is used in some of the best wand vibrators, and even metal is used in toys designed to experiment with sensation. If you or your partner are allergic to latex, always check that the toy you’re interested in is latex-free.
What are the different types of vibrators?
Rabbit Vibrators
The rabbit vibrator, a combination toy with a history dating back to the 20th century, is designed to achieve the coveted blended orgasm. Made famous by Ann Summers parties in the ‘80s and ‘90s, and by the characters in Sex And The City, it’s recognizable by its two ‘arms’: a longer one to vibrate the vaginal wall (and ideally the G-spot) and a shorter “flicking” appendage intended for clitoral stimulation. This design allows for simultaneous stimulation of two erogenous zones.
Bullet Vibrators
Far more discreet than a wand or a rabbit, a bullet vibrator is often the first toy for many, though those who prefer a more gentle touch may also prefer one of these sexual wellness devices in the long run. Smaller and quieter than its more boisterous counterparts, these vibrators are often more affordable and surprisingly versatile: their series of vibration patterns can be used not only on the clitoris but also the nipples, vulva, and even testicles.
Clitoral Vibrators
As the name suggests, a clitoral vibrator is designed with clitoral stimulation in mind. A favourite among many who prefer external sexual pleasure, we’re particular fans of Lelo and its impressive sonic wave tech, which is designed to imitate the sensation of oral sex through a series of upward-sucking airwaves. This self-care classic can be found in a variety of other sex toy shops.
Wand Vibrators
A wand vibrator features a handle and a larger “head” with a large surface area, creating a more rumbly vibration for a deeper and softer sensation. Not only can they stimulate more erogenous zones at once, but they also often have longer run times due to powerful motors that can sometimes be plugged directly into the wall.
G-Spot Vibrators
The G-spot, typically located between five and eight centimetres inside the front of the vaginal wall, has become somewhat of a mythical area. Most women can’t orgasm from G-spot stimulation alone, so dual stimulation will be necessary for many. Whether used in combination with a bullet or clitoral vibrator or not, these curved gadgets are designed to penetrate, though not as deeply as a dildo. You can identify them by their curved and/or bulbous heads.
