34 Best Sex Toys for Women in 2024, According to Experts

You get the best of both worlds with the Lelo Lyla 2. This egg vibrator has a rounded shape for easy entry into the vagina, as well as a silicone loop for seamless removal. Thanks to the motion sensors in the remote control, you can shift between eight patterns and different speeds just by tilting your hand.

Best Bullet Vibrator: We-Vibe Tango X

• Rechargeable
• Discreet
• Intuitive buttons
• Travel lock
• Quiet

“If you’re looking for a versatile vibe that can be used on almost all body parts, the Tango X is the ideal option,” according to O’Reilly. It has seven vibration modes, eight intensity levels, and is super easy to use. “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. It also fits into most strap-on harnesses and hollow dildos.

Best Uniquely-Shaped Bullet: Maude Vibe

• Rechargeable
• Discreet
• Under $50
• Easy to use

• Limited intensities and patterns

A SELF commerce editor called the compact Maude Vibe the “sex toy I didn’t know I needed.” Its slim, elongated body lets you use it like an extension of your finger, with a tapered tip that targets the clit. This simple, whisper-quiet vibe has three intensities that ramp up from fluttery to “eye-poppingly powerful,” she says.

Best Palm Vibrator

Palm vibrators are named for the fact that they fit into, yep, the palm of your hand. Most have a slightly curved shape that enables them to rest on your vulva hands-free when you’re lying down, says Wright. Since they have a larger surface area than some other toys, they can diffuse sensations across the vulva (and elsewhere beyond the clit).

Best Overall: Le Wand Point

• Stainless steel handle feels heftier
• Waterproof
• Powerful vibrations
• Travel lock

Our favorite palm vibe, the Le Wand Point, has a sleek stainless steel handle and an uber-soft ridged silicone tip. The heavier steel end allows the toy to provide more pressure than an all-silicone option, Finn previously told SELF. Other nice-to-haves include an intuitive button display, a travel lock, and a fully waterproof design (shower sex, anyone?).

Best Runner-Up: Dame Pom

• Rumbly vibrations
• Discreet shape
• Versatile design
• Quiet

• May not feel intense enough for some

Although Dame’s Pom vibrator may not look like much, it’s impressively versatile. The body is almost entirely bendable and wide enough to touch the whole vulva, while the tip is pinpointed for extra clit stimulation. It can feel nice around the anal opening too. An added bonus: Dame reviewers confirm that it’s super quiet.

Best Anal Toys

Anal toys include butt plugs, anal beads, prostate massagers, and some dildos. Butt plugs are usually carrot-shaped toys with flared bases. “They are designed to go in your butt and stay in your butt,” says Wright. This creates a feeling of fullness while leaving your hands free for other activities. Meanwhile, anal beads are meant to move in and out of your butt, massaging all of the nerves you have down there, she adds. Some anal toys also vibrate, notes psychotherapist Joy Berkheimer, PhD, LMFT, an expert at SXWA, a sexual wellness award platform, which can feel even better.

FYI: All anal toys should have a flared base so they won’t get stuck inside your rectum. You’ll also want to find a lube you like—and if you’re using a toy inside or on both a vagina and a butt, always clean it carefully between uses to prevent the transfer of bacteria.

Best Butt Plug: B-Vibe Novice

• Beginner-friendly size
• Remote-controllable
• Lots of vibration options

Brand new to butt play? Start with the B-Vibe Novice. It’s only about the size of a pinky (3.35 inches) and has 15 vibration patterns for a wide range of sensations. If vibration feels daunting for your first go-around, try using it as-is without turning it on first.

Best Anal Beads: Adam & Eve Booty Bliss Vibrating Beads

• Bullet vibrator included
• Under $25
• Finger loop for easy removal

• Requires batteries
• Single-speed

With the Booty Bliss Vibrating Beads, you get two for the price of one: These beads are powered by a removable bullet vibe that fits inside the base (and boasts seven vibration modes). Each silicone bead on the chain grows in diameter from 0.25 inches to 1 inch, making it a great choice for anyone looking to slowly (and comfortably) work their way up to more intense anal pleasure.

Best Dildos and Strap-Ons

The basic dildo is a penis-shaped toy that can be inserted into the vagina or anus. Some have suction bases that provide stability, some are double-ended, and some are designed to pair with strap-on harnesses for hands-free vaginal and anal penetration with a partner. Many strap-on sets are sold with dildos included, which is a cost-effective option for beginners looking to try both. A few words to the wise? Double-check that a dildo is anal-safe before you sit on it, as not all of them are.

Best Dildo for Beginners: Lovehoney Ignite Mini Dildo

• Under $25
• Beginner-friendly
• Compatible with a strap-on

• Suction may not be strong enough for some
• Doesn’t vibrate

The Ignite is a top suction dildo that comes highly recommended by O’Reilly. “It’s perfect for hands-free play, as well as those who want to play in different locations around the house,” she says. “The suction cup allows you to play on different surfaces, so you can explore various angles of penetration and pleasure.” Measuring just 4.5 inches long, it’s perfectly sized for newbies—plus, it’s just $20.

Best Dildo for G-Spot or P-Spot Stimulation: Njoy Pure Wand

• Easy to clean
• Curved body
• Different-sized endings
• Shaped to provide pressure

• Pricey
• Doesn’t vibrate
• May be too heavy for some

This toy got a truly ringing endorsement: three different experts recommended the Njoy Pure to SELF. It’s a metal dildo with an arched body that lets you angle it more easily for internal massage. It has different-sized weighted balls on each end to apply varying pressure. “Curved toys can be great to stimulate sensitive internal nerve bundles, like the G-spot or prostate,” Francis told SELF. It’s made of stainless steel—a material that warms and cools, making it great for temperature play.

Best Strap-On Set: Tantus Intermediate Unisex Vibrating Strap-On Harness Kit

• Comes with lots of accessories
• Harness is machine-washable
• Dildos are curved to reach the G-spot

• Bullet vibe may not feel strong enough for some
• Requires batteries
