19 Homemade Sex Toys You Can DIY From Household Items, According to Sex Experts in 2022

With a combo of suction and penetration, it delivers on all the different sensations a beginner could be looking for but you can customize what you want to feel (and when) to avoid feeling overwhelmed. When it comes to cleaning, Dr. Tara advises washing your vibrator with light, soapy water, while ensuring it doesn’t seep into the battery or charging area. We'd recommend getting the sexy times started by browsing this list with your partner. Ask them what types of toys they find intriguing, and tell them which ones you like as well.

But if you've got a ring that's flexible enough, like this favorite of Zizelman's, it can be stretched around the base of your shaft and your balls, increasing its positive effects. "Around the shaft, you are going to get restricted blood flow to help keep a strong and longer-lasting erection," Zizelman says. But despite the balls and scrotum typically being relegated to a supporting role (if that) in any given sexual encounter, there are countless inventive ways to stimulate them. For instance , cupping them, stroking them, and tugging on them can feel good. Vibrators, cock rings, and ball-stretchers can all create interesting scrotal sensations.

It has eight different vibration settings that you can cycle through via the controls on the handle. They're somewhat small, so I found myself fumbling with them a bit in the beginning. But once I knew where the buttons were, this issue was easily corrected.

It's a good option for travel, too, since it's smaller than a standard wand and it has a travel lock function. If you ever wish you could give up control of your sex toy to a long-distance partner—or even to a random person you meet online; we don't judge! —you should consider a Bluetooth-compatible option like this stroker. While the F1S (above) might be the winner in terms of vibration strength and sheer luxury, its “teledildonic” capabilities aren't quite as streamlined as those offered by Lovense, a brand that specializes in this type of toy.

But I would happily take back many hours I’ve spent contrasting Ram’s Head vibrator, Triangle, and Sovtek versions, and their clones—all to arrive at the conclusion that they all sound awesome in their own right. One dude that has spent about a million hours dissecting Muff tone minutiae is EarthQuaker Devices founder Jamie Stillman. Hisefforts to reverse engineer his pal Dan Auerbach’s unique-sounding Sovtek Muff begat theHoof, which remains among EarthQuaker’s most enduring and successful products.

These one-and-done products allow you to explore your sexual tastes and try something new without breaking the bank, she explains. Dr. O’Relly suggests this remote- and app-controllable option from We-Vibe. It magnetically fastens into underwear (of any style) or a strap-on harness so “you can wear it out on the town or at a dinner party to take pleasure in secrecy and/or breaking the rules,” she says. The vibrations themselves are powerful but quiet—idea for thrill-seekers who enjoy the playful side of pleasure, she adds. The bestselling Dame Fin can be held between your fingers and has an optional tether that can loop around them for even more movement and exploration. “If you prefer the tactile sensation of your partner’s hand to that of a sex toy, you can position the Fin on the top side of your fingers, turning them into a conduit for the vibration,” says Finn.

“This tiny vibrator’s size makes it perfect for partner play, since it can be discreetly slipped into an overnight bag for a spicy sleepover,” says Alvarez Story. Indeed, it's one of the smallest bullets available that also manages to be decently strong. With one button for toggling through both settings and speeds, it's easy to use and even waterproof for bathtime fun. While its less-intense settings may not be ideal for those who enjoy (or need) a powerful vibe, my clitoris is incredibly responsive, so the fact that I could use the Vibrato sans-panties was a huge perk for me. I also love that while the handle-turned-dildo portion can vibrate, it only does so when turned on; when it’s not activated, it doesn’t buzz at all. This means when I used the toy as a wand vibrator, my hand didn’t numb out—a common complaint I have with some other vibes.
