But style is a big part of what sets the Connaisseur MJ apart

Vibrolator® ABU Ball Vibrator

Hermann Rorschach might have told me I’m more inclined to see and feel these likenesses in the Connaisseur MJ (I’m genuinely captivated by the beauty of Rickenbackers and Martins). But style is a big part of what sets the Connaisseur MJ apart, and you don’t need an inkblot test to know that the Godin Connaisseur MJ is a handsome, well-built, and fine-playing flattop. You can improvise your own sleeve by finding a cylinder of some kind that fits comfortably on your penis (toilet paper rolls are a common choice) and then lining it with a material of your choice. Some people use spongy materials for the lining, some use latex gloves, etc. Some folks prefer to skip the more involved sleeves and use a sock or banana peel instead.

The streamlined design is easy for first-time users to get the hang of and may appeal to folks looking for a solid vibrator without overcomplicated bells and whistles, they add. This prevents bacteria from staying trapped in your toy, even after you sanitize it. The best options are medical-grade silicone and ABS plastic, although you can also find toys made from borosilicate glass, quartz , and stainless steel. Editors also spoke with a sex and relationship expert to better educate readers on how sex toys may enhance relationships and the role that they may play when lovers are apart.

Those who prefer direct pressure should opt for a pinpoint or bullet vibrator, while others may like more diffused vibrations that spread across the vulva, which can be achieved by most wand vibes, grinding toys, and palm vibes. If receiving oral sex is your favorite way to get off, consider a clit suction toy or oral sex stimulator. Our best suction toy and our highest scoring vibrator overall, the Next uses innovative 3D pleasure air technology to produce slow, pulsating sensations our testers loved.

We’re also fans of the clearly labeled buttons that make it easy to cycle through the Doxy’s eight settings. I’m also a fan of this pick’s simple controls, flexible neck, and lightweight design (you can read my full review of the Ultra Wand here). CNET staff — not advertisers, partners or business interests — determine how we review products and services. We like this silicone bullet from Lora DiCarlo, which has an extra cushy surface (made from medical-grade silicone) that warms up to slightly above body temperature—turning up the heat on your single (or couples) play session. The only vibrator on this list that has not been hands-on tested by the Mashable team is the Unbound Shimmy. We’ve decided to include it for its excellent features-to-price ratio, and because Unbound is a brand we trust and have hands-on tested with their Pep vibrator.

This toy, however, was designed specifically for prostate play, so of course it does so very well. In addition to vibrating, this toy’s internal arm moves up and down in a “come hither” motion to massage your prostate. The arms don’t work independently of each other, but the 10 vibration settings and overall satisfaction with using this makes up for it. The Lovense Nora is a fantastic rabbit vibe, featuring strong and rumbly vibrations, a flexible clitoral arm, and a rotating shaft that can massage the G-spot.

I set it up next to my bed with the help of my girlfriend, who knows more about cables than I do. It was a full moon in Scorpio, the sign of sex, so I felt extra enthusiastic about giving it a go.
