I've tested 100+ sex toys. Here are the 15 most mind-blowing toys I've ever owned.

The Bess 2 clitoral massager is for the aesthete who refuses to hide their sex toys in a dark drawer. (Good for you!) If you have the budget and want a vibe that doubles as modern art, ZALO is the brand to go to.

Sure, LELO sells some incredible luxury toys (and I mention them below), but ZALO takes "luxe" to a completely different level — think gold plating, real Swarovski crystal accents, and innovative features.

ZALO is luxe AF, full stop. But it’s not just a gimmick. I can vouch for this brand’s commitment to quality; it even arrives with a satin storage pouch and an authenticity warranty card, so you know it’s a true investment piece.

The Bess 2 earned its place on this list for its ability to set your clit on fire in the best way possible. (Bess? More like Bless.) It features "Double Tungsten Motors" and ZALO's exclusive "Softek" silicone coating, which gives it that impossibly soft, skin-like feel.

It comes with four attachments, including a slim curved shaft and "soft petals," but my personal favorite is the ball-shaped head. Thanks to the "DirectPower technology," it delivers pinpoint stimulation that gets the job done in seconds. You can also preheat this baby to 107 degrees Fahrenheit (it mimics body heat in a way cold silicone just can't) for an extra-smooth ride.

A few notes from testing: While the pinpoint clitoral side is impressively quiet, the wider end (where the main motor lives) can get a little noisy on higher settings. Also, like many silicone toys, the soft finish attracts dog hair, sheet fuzz, lint, etc. Fortunately, it’s super easy to wipe clean, and if you keep it in that storage bag, it should be fine.

One of my favorite reviews says, “Get on setting three, and you will be astral projecting to another realm” — something to think about if squirting is on your 2026 bucket list.

The LELO Smart Wand 2 Large is for anyone who wants to get off, like right now, and doesn’t mind paying a little extra to do so.

It’s a luxe vibrator, and that's reflected in the price — but you’ll also feel it in the function. This wand is super intense (read: NOT RUMBLY) and offers 10 different vibration patterns. While some say having too many options is a con, I personally like to just hold it on the consistent vibration setting and see where it gets me.

First, I’d like to preface this by saying that my actual favorite wand (and probably my favorite vibrator of all time) was the VIM by Fun Factory. But sadly, it’s discontinued, and I wouldn't trust the third-party sellers on Amazon who claim to have it.

Nevertheless, before I met the VIM, my favorite was the LELO Smart Wand 2 Large. It costs a little more than the ZALO toy mentioned above, but it’s definitely worth it. (Also, LELO often has sales, so you rarely have to pay full price anyway.)

The main thing to know is that, unlike many "rumbly" wands, the Smart Wand 2 is intense and super powerful in a buzzy way. It has an ergonomic design and an extra-long-lasting charge — you can literally play with it for hours, if your body can handle it.

I love the design because it’s easier to hold than most competitors. I own a few wands, and most are too heavy for my wrist. I have carpal tunnel (from typing; get your mind out of the gutter), and holding other toys for testing actually hurts. (Note: If you find standard wands are still too heavy for your wrist, you might prefer the FemmeFunn Ultra Wand instead; they put a special dampener in the handle specifically to prevent that vibration recoil.)

The Smart Wand 2 is also super pretty as far as vibrators go. It arrives in a beautiful white box and is ISO 3533 international standard certified, which means it’s proven safe to use on your intimate bits. It also comes with a storage bag for safekeeping.

Looking for something smaller? I recommend the Koi by love. not war.

The Playboy Pleasure Ollo is for anyone who wants to like a bullet vibrator but needs a little more power, versatility, and ergonomic comfort than a typical compact design provides.

I don’t really like bullet vibrators, mainly because I don’t like how they feel in my hand. I don’t particularly like my fingers buzzing right along with the toy — it’s uncomfortable (to me). But the Ollo is the perfect bullet vibrator for the non-bullet vibrator lover. It has a handle and all the power you could want in a tiny little package.

Playboy Pleasure is by far one of my favorite sex toy brands. I love several of their products (which you’ll see further down my list), but the Ollo isn’t your typical bullet.

It's longer (5.74 inches) and designed with an ergonomic "ring" handle. This makes it so much easier, IMO, to use than a traditional bullet. (Take the Playboy Pleasure Bunny Bunch, for example. I love the power it has, but it’s so powerful it gets hot when I use it for too long, and the vibration is all in my fingertips.) The Ollo solves this with its grip-friendly design and a flat, lipstick-shaped tip that's ideal for pinpoint clitoral stimulation.

It has 10 speeds and rhythms, it’s waterproof, and it's USB rechargeable. Short, sweet, and to the point. It doesn’t come with a fancy sack or over-the-top packaging, but for under $50, it delivers a powerful experience and is made of body-safe silicone (a huge plus at this price point).

This vibe is for anyone who’s looking for a clit vibrator that won’t overstimulate and yet is still powerful enough to get you off.

Its unique design is incredibly thoughtful — this brand genuinely prioritizes female anatomy, and you can tell this vibe was built for the vulva, not just marketed to it.

Smile Makers' The Firefighter (an ironic name, since we definitely aren't trying to put any fires out) is an expertly designed stimulator built to pleasure the entire vulva, not just the button.

It feels so, so good just resting on your clit and moving over your labia. The flame-shaped head is designed for gentle, precise stimulation rather than aggressive buzzing. Once you’re wet enough, you can even let the tip peek in and out for the shallowest, most delicious penetration you’ve ever experienced.

It features four speeds and two pulsation modes, and it's super quiet. It isn’t over-the-top or feature-rich, but that’s another thing I love about Smile Makers: They know you can get to the finish line without all the bells and whistles. (One small note: The charging hole is almost too discreet. It can be kind of hard to find at first because it blends right into the silicone, so you might need good lighting to plug it in the first time.)

When I say this gives "Big Clit Energy," that’s not just a line. This isn’t the intense, numbing vibration you’re used to hearing about (there are plenty of those elsewhere on this list). This is the "slow burn" kind of pleasure that feels oh-so-good solo or while making out with a partner.

The Lem is the best clitoral sucker for anyone who's new to this type of stimulation or just wants a more discreet option.

Despite its super cute exterior, this little toy doesn’t hold back — it delivers intense clitoral stimulation. It's ideal for beginners or anyone who doesn't respond to vibration alone (whether due to menopause, medication, or personal preference).

The Lem is probably the cutest sex toy I’ve ever seen; it literally looks like a lemon, hence the name. But don’t let the playful appearance fool you — its air pulse technology is incredibly powerful, but somehow soft and gentle at the same time. There are 12 intensities and patterns to explore (I couldn’t even use it on the highest setting), it’s very easy to hold, and it’s quieter than I expected.

It’s also shipped in a cute pink box with a USB charging cable, a silky storage pouch, a user manual, and a small packet of lube and toy cleaner.

One of my favorite reviews says, “Holy mother of God! I can’t put this little sucker down. I am getting multiple orgasms with this little guy, and last night, I actually squirted! I didn’t even think that was a real thing…but I’m here to tell you, IT IS!”

Before I fell in love with the Lem, the Namii by biird was my go-to; I loved it. I was actually obsessed with their packaging and how thoughtful the whole unboxing experience felt. But biird recently took it (and all its other clitoral stimulators) off the site without warning. So, the next best thing I’ve tested is the Lem by Nancy. (Another kind of odd name, I know).

This is for the person who can’t decide between a rabbit, a wand, or a dildo — and doesn't want to clutter their nightstand with all three. If you want one high-quality toy that can switch gears from "mild and rumbly" to "mind-blowing" in seconds, I def recommend The Swan.

It’s hard to play favorites, but The Swan has earned a permanent spot on my nightstand since the day I unboxed it. It’s a dual stimulator with two gently curved arms, designed to do pretty much whatever you want. You can use it for standard clitoral and G-spot stimulation, or flip it around for simultaneous anal and vaginal play. (Just remember not to cross-contaminate!)

I’m not the only one obsessed with its versatility, either — reviewers consistently rate this as a top pick for double penetration (DP) because the flexible arms make dual entry surprisingly accessible. Each shaft has 10 vibrating speeds and bulbous, textured heads that work for both internal and external play. You can use it solely on the outside to finish in seconds, or use it for a deep, blended orgasm.

The Apex by JimmyJane is for experienced users only. I repeat: This thing can be dangerous if you use it incorrectly.

It’s for people who can’t get enough sensation, or for those who love exhibitionism (or have a partner into voyeurism). This pussy pump is a vibrator, clitoral stimulator, and suction device rolled into one intense package.

Most pussy pumps don't function as traditional sex toys, but the Apex by JimmyJane is a G-spot vibrator, clitoral and nipple stimulator, and of course, a pussy pump.

This toy looks a little intimidating, and it should. It’s designed for advanced players; using this improperly or not testing it on your hand first could definitely lead to discomfort or injury. The actual pump is amazingly powerful (it’s also really loud, as is the tongue attachment), but once you actually figure out how to use it, it’s definitely worth pulling out once a month for a sex marathon.

The best thing about this toy is that your partner can watch your vulva fill the plastic chamber and swell to impressive proportions. Not only that, but paired with the tongue attachment, it’s an experience unlike any other. There are seven tongue patterns, 10 handle vibration patterns, and three suction levels. There are also two cup attachments (one for your vulva and one for your nipples).

The FemmeFunn Thruster Shaft is for anyone who has the time and space to giddy up and get off. It’s designed for deep vaginal and G-spot stimulation (though it can definitely be used for anal play, too).

I’ve never been a huge fan of thrusters (mostly because my endometriosis hasn’t exactly let me enjoy deep penetration for years), but on a good day, the FemmeFunn Thruster Shaft is my go-to.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: If you want to get there, this is the thruster you want.

This toy delivers serious power and deep thrusting motions that keep going even as your muscles contract, so it won’t freeze up on you right when you get to the good part. It has a suction cup base that’ll attach to just about anything (a headboard, the side of a bathtub, a chair, the floor, etc.); just don’t try to attach it to a mirror.

I definitely recommend getting on all fours (put a pillow under your knees for comfort) and seeing what this baby can do. It has a remote so you can control just how intense it gets (or you can give it to your partner and let them take control). The remote also makes it easy to adjust settings while you’re playing, so you don’t have to reach down or mess with the controls and ruin the moment.

The only thing I don’t love about this toy is that it actually looks like a penis, which isn’t ideal for everyone. But it does come in purple (I have the dark purple one, which is the brand’s signature color) if the flesh tones freak you out.

The Lovers Loyal 5.5in Dildo is for anyone who prefers internal stimulation without the vibration. It’s also the perfect option if you need a softer touch (literally). As I mentioned, I’m not always up for rigid penetration due to pelvic pain, but this is the dildo I reach for when I am.

This little guy is super soft (like, unbelievably soft) and flexible. It has a suction cup base similar to the thruster above, so you can stick it to the floor, the shower wall, or a chair for hands-free play. But honestly, I mostly use the suction base as a handle; it gives you a great grip if you don't want to mount it to anything.

It’s 5.5 inches long and harness-compatible. The veins and flesh tone can be a turn-off if you prefer abstract shapes, but I assure you, the comfort level here makes it worth it. (Plus, the size and flexibility make it a solid option for anal play, too.)

The Playboy Pleasure Jewels King is for anyone who prefers the hard, heavy feel of glass over the squishy feel of silicone. It’s specifically for those moments when you want to be completely filled up (and want a toy that looks good doing it).

If you’ve yet to experience what an absolute delight glass toys can be, I recommend giving the Playboy Pleasure Jewels King Multi-Play Glass Dildo a try ASAP.)

This toy has everything you want in a dildo. The super-smooth, body-safe borosilicate glass is easy to clean, and the bulbous head (which is curved just right) feels delicious whether you’re using it vaginally or anally. I also love the length (5.5 insertable inches) and thickness.

It’s also pretty to look at and shatter-resistant. I’ve accidentally dropped it a few times, and it’s yet to crack or chip. (If you do manage to break it, it comes with a five-year manufacturer’s warranty.) And if you’re into temperature play, you can pop it in some warm or cool water for a few minutes beforehand.

If you like the feeling of glass, you'll love stainless steel. But fair warning: It's heavy (1.87 lbs). This might not be best for people with weak wrists, arthritis, or mobility limitations.

If you're looking for P-spot stimulation instead of G-spot stimulation, then go with the similar Njoy Pure Wand stainless-steel dildo instead.

I'm definitely not the only one who recommends the Le Wand Arch; a lot of sexperts swear by this thing, specifically because it's ahhmazing for squirting.

The crescent-shaped, double-ended design allows you to apply hard, unyielding pressure to the G-spot in a way flexible plastic toys just can't. One end has a rippled texture for massage, and the other has a flattened tip for targeted G-spot stimulation. Plus, it comes with a high-quality padded pouch so you don't have to worry about it clanking around (or chipping) in your nightstand.

Since it's dual-ended, you don't have to use the girthy side if you don't want to. If you do use the larger end, just know it's really girthy. You may need to be warmed up a lot for this one.

Stainless steel is also prized for hygiene (you can literally boil this or put it in the dishwasher) and temperature play. One major rule, though: Lube is a non-negotiable for stainless steel unless you are super, super wet before insertion.

This is the perfect entry point for anyone curious about anal play. If you're intimidated by size or just want something that feels approachable rather than ambitious, the b-Vibe Beginner’s Vibrating Butt Plug is a great place to start.

I personally love the Playboy Pleasure Glass Butt Plug (or The Neighbor by Smile Makers) because I prefer a rounder, fuller size. But that doesn't mean you'll love it, especially if you're a beginner. For most people, I recommend the b-Vibe Beginner’s Vibrating Butt Plug.

It's designed specifically for beginners, with a petite 1.1-inch diameter and a manageable 3-inch insertable length. It’s made of body-safe silicone and has a seamless shape that makes insertion much less scary.

Plus, it vibrates! Which not only helps to relax your muscles (very important for anal play), but it also adds a ton of sensation for your partner if you wear it during sex.

The TENGA EGG is for anyone with a penis who wants a low-commitment, high-reward experience (i.e., anyone who wants to ease into male sex toys without spending a fortune on a high-tech masturbator or sleeve). It's also great for partners who want to amp up their handjob game.

Hands down, this is the best male sex toy for the price. You can buy them individually for $6.99 or in variety packs of six for $41.94 (like the "Hard Boiled" or "Wonder" packs), and they're incredibly easy to use.

Each egg has a unique internal texture (like "Wavy," "Clicker," or "Spider") lined with intricate ribs, nubs, and geometric patterns that create 360-degree friction and suction you just can't get with a hand alone. The material is super-stretchable; for reference, it can stretch to cover a 500ml plastic bottle, so size is almost never an issue.

Bonus: They're disposable. You crack the shell, use the included lube packet, enjoy yourself, and then toss it. It’s mess- and hassle-free.

The Ohnut is specifically designed for anyone who experiences pain during deep penetration. Whether you have endometriosis, pelvic floor issues, or are going through postpartum recovery, this little barrier will help you keep the intimacy alive.

I was actually one of the very first people to try the Ohnut when it launched, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it saved my relationship at the time. I still use my original set — in fact, I’ve had them for so long that the polymer has actually changed color over the years. I honestly have no idea why (I kept them in a black storage bag the whole time!), but they shifted from the original mint green to the blue you see in my photos.

If you have endometriosis, interstitial cystitis (I have this, too), struggle with pelvic floor dysfunction, or any of the other reasons for dyspareunia, the Ohnut is worth looking into. It works as a physical bumper. It’s a set of four soft, stackable rings that sit at the base of a penis (or toy) to limit how deep it can go.

Because it’s made of a soft, squishy polymer that feels like skin, it doesn't feel like a medical device. You can customize the depth (by adding or removing rings) to your comfort level so you can stop bracing for impact (anticipatory pain is the worst) and stay in the moment.
