SEX TECH HAS come a long way in the past 10 years—not only in terms of cultural acceptance and awareness but also technology. Gone are the days of clunky, pink, plastic rabbit vibrators and sex toys that feel like knockoff action figures. Today's toys are designed by sex educators, medical professionals, and some of the world’s greatest sexperts. They feature ultra-premium, medical-grade silicone, robust Bluetooth connectivity, programmable vibration patterns, and multiple motors all designed to help you have a good time. There’s never a bad time to invest in a little extra self-care. These are the best sex toys, vibrators, smart vibrators, personal wand massagers, and accessories, all of which we’ve personally tested. There’s something here for everyone, every gender, and every body. The language on these products isn’t always gender-inclusive, but we approached testing with a gender-inclusive mindset, testing these with a variety of different genitals, bodies, and partners. Be sure to check out our other bedroom-related guides, including the Best Vibrators, Best Clitoral Suction Toys, Best Lubes, Best Mattresses, and Best Sound Machines. Updated May 2024: We've added the Coconu Wave and Le Wand vibrators. Special offer for Gear readers: Get WIRED for just $5 ($25 off).

The sex tech industry has conditioned us to think of toys in terms of male and female, penis and vagina, but that’s reductive and inaccurate, and it contributes to a larger narrative about the relationship between genitals and gender. It’s unhelpful, and I have a lot of feelings about it. We opt to be as specific as possible and use anatomical terms to describe individual erogenous zones—and there are way more than just P and V. The vulva is the exterior part of the vagina. It includes the labia majora, labia minora, the urethra, and the clitoris. The clitoris is the center of erogenous nerves in the vulva, and it’s much larger than just the exterior portion. Its internal structures extend down to either side of the vagina, which is where you’ll find the G-spot—the area stimulated by toys that curve toward the front of your body. The phallus is what’s commonly referred to as the shaft of the penis, and it includes a couple of erogenous zones. The glans is the top of the phallus, usually referred to as the “head,” and the frenulum is a thin strip of connective tissue on the underside of the glans that can be particularly sensitive to targeted stimulation. Last but not least, the anus is, well … it's the butthole. The rectum is the interior portion that attaches to the anus. Both of these areas can be sensitive to internal and external stimulation. For people born with phalluses, there’s an additional erogenous zone here: the prostate or P-spot. This is a walnut-sized gland that lives between the internal structures of the penis and the rectum, and it can be reached by toys that curve toward the front of your body. Dame Dip Vibrator PHOTOGRAPH: DAME Best Vibrator Dame Dip You know the saying “You eat with your eyes first?” I think that's especially applicable to sex toys. The look and vibe of a sex toy has to be important to me; if it's not something pleasing to look at, I'm not going to want to spend time with it. Dame's Dip vibrator is, like other toys from the company, nice to look at. It has lovely color options like a cool, soothing periwinkle and a ruddy, robust plum. It feels sensual in the hand, all curves and dips, with a little peak in the center that evokes features of a vulva or frenulum. It also looks a bit like a tongue from the side, which is also cheeky. The Dip is a simple toy. It's a waterproof vibrator clad in silicone, and it's quiet. It's a joy to use, to feel in your hand and against or inside your body. There's a level of polish and design here you just don't see in toys priced as affordably as the Dip. Read our Best Vibrators guide for more recommendations. Made from platinum-cured medical-grade silicone. Great for all genitals and erogenous zones. $35 $28 AT TARGET $35 AT DAME Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen 3 PHOTOGRAPH: SATISFYER Best Clitoral Suction Toy Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen 3 Air Pulse Toy The Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen 3 (9/10, WIRED Recommends) lives up to its name. It's versatile, powerful, and surprisingly gentle. The whole body of the Gen 3 is covered in soft silicone, so it's easier to grip than previous versions. The buttons are all conveniently located along the back of the toy, right about where your fingertips naturally fall. It's a refined version of a tried and true design, and it feels like it. There's a level of care and craftsmanship in the build of this toy that I appreciate. The mouth is removable, so you can wash it or swap it with the new “liquid air” mouth—it simulates a tapping sensation more than a sucking or air pulse sensation, which is a fun change of pace. The Gen 3 also features built-in vibration functionality. The third button on the toy cycles through vibration patterns that can heighten things when you're in the thick of it. Read our Best Clitoral Suction Toys guide for more picks. Mouth is made from silicone, body is made from plastic. Great for all genitals. $70 AT AMAZON $90 AT SATISFYER FEATURED VIDEO Criminologist Answers True Crime Questions From Twitter MOST POPULAR The 16 Best Electric Bikes for Every Kind of Ride GEAR The 16 Best Electric Bikes for Every Kind of Ride ADRIENNE SO The 19 Best Portable Chargers for All of Your Devices GEAR The 19 Best Portable Chargers for All of Your Devices SIMON HILL Give Your Back a Break With Our Favorite Office Chairs GEAR Give Your Back a Break With Our Favorite Office Chairs JULIAN CHOKKATTU The West Coast’s Fanciest Stolen Bikes Are Getting Trafficked by One Mastermind in Jalisco, Mexico BACKCHANNEL The West Coast’s Fanciest Stolen Bikes Are Getting Trafficked by One Mastermind in Jalisco, Mexico CHRISTOPHER SOLOMON ADVERTISEMENT Vibratex Wand Mini PHOTOGRAPH: VIBRATEX Best Wand Vibrator Magic Wand Mini The original Magic Wand was always a bit bulky. Plus, it plugs into the wall, and I've never had a sexual encounter that was improved by the presence of an extension cord. The Mini solves both of those problems. It's small, fits easily in one hand, and is not too heavy. It's rechargeable, so no need to fumble with cables while you're using it. Plus, it offers a generous 2.5-hour battery life on a single charge. The broad head of the wand delivers rumbly vibrations that start pretty gentle and ramp-up to you-can-feel-it-in-your-teeth strength. Two cool things are going on here though. First, the rumbly vibrator head is insulated from the rest of the wand, so it never makes your hand tired or numb from being vibrated. Second, the shape of the head means you can use the flat end or edges to stimulate broad areas of any erogenous zone, but you can use the edge for surprisingly precise targeted stimulation. Suffice it to say, the Magic Wand Mini is one of my absolute faves. Head is made from food-grade silicone tested to FDA standards. Great for all genitals. $76 AT AMAZON $60 AT WALMART $100 AT LOVEHONEY Lelo Sona 2 sex toy PHOTOGRAPH: LELO Best Luxury Suction Toy Lelo Sona 2 Cruise Suction toys are life-changing if you've never used one before, and after testing dozens of them, I can say with certainty that the Sona 2 Cruise is the absolute best high-end suction toy on the market. It's one I kept reaching for even outside of testing hours. The body fits in my hand perfectly, the buttons are in places that make sense, and it has a variety of intensities well-suited to just about any preference. The Cruise part of the name refers to Lelo's Cruise Control technology–which makes the toy increase intensity when you press it hard against your body. It's a smart sex toy, and it's my number one recommendation for anyone looking to try something new. Body is made from food-grade silicone. Good for all bodies, targeted suction stimulation for the clitoris, frenulum, or nipples. $99 AT AMAZON $119 AT LELO $139 AT VERISHOP $149 AT TARGET MOST POPULAR The 16 Best Electric Bikes for Every Kind of Ride GEAR The 16 Best Electric Bikes for Every Kind of Ride ADRIENNE SO The 19 Best Portable Chargers for All of Your Devices GEAR The 19 Best Portable Chargers for All of Your Devices SIMON HILL Give Your Back a Break With Our Favorite Office Chairs GEAR Give Your Back a Break With Our Favorite Office Chairs JULIAN CHOKKATTU The West Coast’s Fanciest Stolen Bikes Are Getting Trafficked by One Mastermind in Jalisco, Mexico BACKCHANNEL The West Coast’s Fanciest Stolen Bikes Are Getting Trafficked by One Mastermind in Jalisco, Mexico CHRISTOPHER SOLOMON ADVERTISEMENT Tenuto Mini vibrator PHOTOGRAPH: MYSTERYVIBE A Thoughtfully Designed Phallus Ring MysteryVibe Tenuto Mini The Tenuto Mini (6/10 WIRED Review) is the follow-up to MysteryVibe's original Tenuto, a somewhat large and clunky sex toy designed to stimulate the phallus and surrounding areas. Two of us on the team have tested the old version and found it a bit awkward. With the Tenuto Mini, MysteryVibe has addressed some of those issues and made the toy much better for it. The new version is a lot smaller (hence the “Mini”), and functions as a phallus ring with extra bells and whistles. It wraps around the base of the phallus and has three vibrating motors—two on the sides and one on the top. The body is semi-rigid but flexible enough to comfortably fit around an erect phallus. WIRED reviewer Eric Ravenscraft says it's best for solo use or penetrative sex, where it can rest (and vibrate) between you and a partner. You can control it from the app, so you don't need to worry about trying to slip your hand between you and a partner to change the speed or intensity. Made from platinum-cured medical-grade silicone. Works best with phalluses. $187 AT MYSTERYVIBE Kindred Black Violet Duchess sex toy PHOTOGRAPH: KINDRED BLACK An Approachable Glass Dildo Kindred Black Violet Duchess Glass Dildo Kindred Black's sexual wellness catalog is filled with luxurious items like the Violet Duchess here, but this is one of my personal favorites. Glass sex toys have a long history. They're non-toxic and nonporous so they're easy to clean and they're more durable than you might expect. The smooth body takes to a variety of lubes well, making for a smooth and sensual experience whether you're alone or with a partner. It is, however, not flared, so it's not safe for anal use. Another nice thing about glass sex toys is that they can make elegant decor when they're not in use. Made from hand-blown borosilicate glass. Great for external use on all bodies, good for internal use with vulvas, not safe for anal. $95 AT KINDRED BLACK MOST POPULAR The 16 Best Electric Bikes for Every Kind of Ride GEAR The 16 Best Electric Bikes for Every Kind of Ride ADRIENNE SO The 19 Best Portable Chargers for All of Your Devices GEAR The 19 Best Portable Chargers for All of Your Devices SIMON HILL Give Your Back a Break With Our Favorite Office Chairs GEAR Give Your Back a Break With Our Favorite Office Chairs JULIAN CHOKKATTU The West Coast’s Fanciest Stolen Bikes Are Getting Trafficked by One Mastermind in Jalisco, Mexico BACKCHANNEL The West Coast’s Fanciest Stolen Bikes Are Getting Trafficked by One Mastermind in Jalisco, Mexico CHRISTOPHER SOLOMON ADVERTISEMENT Motorbunny Buck PHOTOGRAPH: MOTORBUNNY Best Sex Machine Motorbunny Buck There are generally two kinds of at-home sex machines. Ones that have a toy on the end of a robotic thrusting arm and ones that you sit on like a saddle while it vibrates the seat and the attached toy. The Motorbunny Buck pulls double duty (8/10 WIRED Recommends). It's a Sybian-style machine that can also thrust. The Buck has a vibrating seat with a toy attachment oriented vertically and provides a back-and-forth motion. You can control both kinds of stimulation from the included controller, and honestly, it provides sensations you can't get from any other toy. It's truly a unique experience. The dual functionality makes it a great pick for anyone curious about at-home sex machines, because no matter what, these things are expensive. With this one, you at least get twice the bang for your buck. Attachments are made from unspecified silicone. Great for all genitals, internal and external stimulation. $1,549 AT AMAZON $1,649 AT MOTORBUNNY sex toy necklace PHOTOGRAPH: CRAVE Discreet and Stylish Crave Vesper Vibrator Sex toys are often relegated to closets, drawers, and hidden places to keep them away from prying eyes. Keep it secret, keep it safe; Gandalf knew what he was talking about. This toy is something different, though. It’s a thing you wear, not hide—like the Evenstar. The Vesper, from Crave, is a slender, powerful vibrator that pulls double duty as a bold statement necklace. Even if you don’t wear it out and about, it’s a remarkably capable little vibe. It has two vibration modes (steady and pulse), but it is shockingly powerful for such a tiny thing, plus whisper quiet. The pointed shape makes it a good choice for targeted stimulation, and it’s powerful enough that you’ll feel its vibrations deep in your body. Don’t put it in your body though. Vesper is strictly an external-use-only kind of toy. It’s bold and discreet, stylish and subtle. But above all, it’s a functional addition to anyone’s collection. Made from 316 stainless steel. Great for targeted stimulation on the clitoris, nipples, or frenulum. $69 AT AMAZON $69 AT CRAVE MOST POPULAR The 16 Best Electric Bikes for Every Kind of Ride GEAR The 16 Best Electric Bikes for Every Kind of Ride ADRIENNE SO The 19 Best Portable Chargers for All of Your Devices GEAR The 19 Best Portable Chargers for All of Your Devices SIMON HILL Give Your Back a Break With Our Favorite Office Chairs GEAR Give Your Back a Break With Our Favorite Office Chairs JULIAN CHOKKATTU The West Coast’s Fanciest Stolen Bikes Are Getting Trafficked by One Mastermind in Jalisco, Mexico BACKCHANNEL The West Coast’s Fanciest Stolen Bikes Are Getting Trafficked by One Mastermind in Jalisco, Mexico CHRISTOPHER SOLOMON ADVERTISEMENT Dame Com Wand Vibrator PHOTOGRAPH: DAME Another Great Wand Dame Com Wand Vibrator Dame's take on the classic magic wand (8/10, WIRED Recommends) introduces a new angle on an old favorite—literally. Most wands are straight, and nothing on the human body is straight, so using them to reach your most sensitive areas can be pretty awkward. The Com offers an elegant solution. The wand handle is angled ergonomically so the toy does all the reaching for you. The battery life could use some work though; you’ll get about an hour out of a single charge. Made from platinum-cured medical-grade silicone. Great for diffuse stimulation to the vulva, phallus, or sore muscles. $119 AT AMAZON $119 AT DAME $119 AT NORDSTROM $101 AT BLOOMINGDALE'S Fun Factory Laya sex toy PHOTOGRAPH: FUN FACTORY Best Grinding Vibrator Fun Factory Laya III Many sex toys are designed with penetration in mind, but the Laya III is all about external pressure. You can lie on your stomach with this vibrator cupping erogenous zones, or go handheld. The sensation is unique since the toy vibrates and “taps” at the same time. The multi-sensory feeling can be intense if you want, but with seven different speeds and three different programs, gentle stimulation is also an option. I also appreciate the travel lock, so my carry-on bag doesn’t start rumbling of its own accord. —Louryn Strampe Made from unspecified silicone.

The Nudge (formerly called the Romp) is ridiculously affordable and just the right size for beginners—it’s not too big but not too small. The curved base keeps the toy firmly in place without being uncomfortable. The medical-grade silicone exterior is easy to clean too. Just be sure to pair it with water-based lube.

Almost as heavy as a Maglite flashlight, this vibrator is a great pick for anyone who wants the most powerful vibrations you can get from a cordless vibrator. Even on its lowest intensity setting it's powerful, but that makes it an excellent choice for indirect stimulation. It's strong enough to feel fully through clothes, and the vibrations travel far and wide through your body and deep under your skin. The size is also a plus. The Le Wand feels hefty and durable—the die-cast aluminum exterior feels nice and cool—and because of its length, it's easy to use in different positions. This is a toy that encourages creativity. Aluminum exterior, body-safe silicone head.

It's asymmetrical, with a flat cut-out on one side, giving you a variety of rounded and pointed corners to use for stimulation. It's shaped like a raindrop, with a curved tip that does a great job of concentrating the vibrations it produces. The body is clad in platinum-cured silicone, and it's soft and squishy to the touch. The silicone used on the Wave takes lube extremely well; even a couple of drops of water-based lube make the exterior of the Wave take on a texture sort of like the inside of your cheek. Slick but not squeaky or sticky. Made from platinum-cured silicone. Great for all erogenous zones. $50 AT COCONU Dame Pom PHOTOGRAPH: DAME Pocket-Sized and Approachable Dame Pom Flexible Vibrator Just look at this little thing! It's cute and friendly.

The vibrations resonate throughout the toy, but they’re concentrated at the tip. So you get targeted and broader stimulation all in one toy. Experimenting with the intensities, vibration modes, and even just how you touch it to your (or someone else’s) body can be a lot of fun. The Pom’s intuitive, ergonomic shape makes it easy to use in the heat of the moment. The button layout is simple.
