The Mans Guide to Vibrators
Sure, there’s nothing as quiet as an analog dildo or good ol’ finger, but these toys come pretty close. Plus, if you have limited hand mobility for many reasons, these pleasure aids can be especially beneficial. There are plenty of reasons you might need to shop the best quiet vibrators.
If your go-to place to get it on is a bed with an outlet nearby, consider this corded wand from Doxy. It’s arguably the most intense clitoral vibrator—not to mention the shiniest. The fact that it needs to be plugged in may make it your last choice for camping trips, but you’ll never have to remember to charge it (or worry about its batteries dying). As you shop, it can be hard to know what’s worth your money and what you might enjoy. We spoke with experts to understand what you should look for in a clitoral vibrator—here’s what to keep in mind.
This vibrator is great for couples play when one or more participants has a penis, and it has the capability to connect to an app so that you can have joint fun even if you’re long-distance. Wearing it on an erect penis can help prolong erection, while providing sexy vibrations for both partners. There’s also rabbit vibrators, like The Artist, which offer inner (penetrative) and outer stimulation at different angles. By providing simultaneous vaginal and clitoral stimulation, Rabbit vibrators are designed to give more intense sensations than a traditional vibrator or clitoral stimulator—and you get double the pleasure with just one device. With a 5-hour battery life, the Lush boasts 4 times more power than most remote sex toys.
These small sex toys are designed to slide onto your fingers or sit right between them, allowing you to use one as an extension of your finger. “Finger vibrators are also great for people to extend the experience of their own touch,” says Balestrieri. “Because they are often easy to hold, or slide over a finger , there is less mobility and agility required to access the pleasure of a vibrator. When used via solo sex, a finger vibrator allows you to stay more closely connected to your own sensations and erotic energy because it organically matches your own movements,” she explains. Whether you have a treasure trove of sex toys or this is your first one, finding the best one to suit your needs can be a game-changer for your sex life. Most have a single motor and only one or two buttons to control intensity.
With more than 150 electric models to choose from, VIBCO has an electric vibrator to suit your specific needs including adjustable speed and force, heavy duty, high frequency and explosion proof models. VIBCO’s Big BerthaTM Dumpbody Vibrators and SandBusterTM Spreader Hopper Vibrators are perfect for trucking and mobile applications. Given that buying three separate gadgets that perform the functions of the Vibrato would total over $300, I argue that the Vibrato is well worth its price point. Plus, I’m now willing to spend extra just to keep my sex toy collection a little more manageable.
But some people do still view masturbation as wrong or harmful, and sometimes those people may be the ones you have to live with. Those views are often based in ignorance over how bodies work, or are spread by religious institutions that believe masturbation is sinful and thus want to discourage people from doing it. Most comparable to the Pom on this list, Mimi is a tad cheaper and has two more vibration patterns for a total of seven. Interestingly, Je Joue’s website contradicts itself by saying it has six or seven patterns, depending on where you look; the booklet that arrives with the toy says six, as well. Oscillation technology was originally used for men who had spinal cord injuries but wanted to get their partners pregnant.
After 20 minutes of consistent use, the Hitachi shuts off for safety reasons (presumably, because the toy gets hotter the longer it’s on) and to preserve battery life. But for the most part, this isn’t an area too many companies seem comfortable approaching just yet. For example, one sex toy designer did chuckle when I made the hypothetical suggestion of sex toys specifically made and marketed for older users. Among the companies that are consciously working to address and court this demographic is Tantus, which has been actively creating sex toys with disabled users in mind for years. There’s also the Fiera pre-intimacy vibrator for generating arousal, whose creators told Mic it’s made with seniors in mind.
It uses gentle air pulses and suction to stimulate the clitoris and there’s a 4.5-inch handle to target the G-spot vibrators, too. It went down a treat with our panel, who praised the gorgeous design and ultra-soft silicone material. Everyone enjoyed playing around with the settings and they agreed it was exceptionally quiet, too.
While orgasm doesn’t have to be the goal, I personally wasn’t going to come this way as the length of the attachment made it difficult for my clit to reach the vibrating saddle — and I wanted to come. It comes with various attachments suitable for both vaginal and anal penetration. The controller has two settings, one for «buck» and one for «buzz.» The buck setting controls the bucking movement of a dildo attachment while the buzz setting controls the vibrations, in levels that range from one to 11. The Motorbunny Buck is an update on the Motorbunny, which is a vibrating sex saddle. If you’ve never seen one, they look like smaller versions of those mechanical bulls you see in bars.
A disposable stroker like this one is a great first foray into the world of sex toys for newbies. I’ve bought Tenga Eggs for many past partners and they’ve always been a hit. Made of soft, squishy elastomer, these toys have various different textures on the inside that range from gentle to intense; variety packs are available if you want to try some different options. Their cute egg-shaped packaging makes them travel-friendly, and each one conveniently comes with its own packet of lube tucked inside. “This size and shape of this finger vibrator are great for wrapping around the lips, sliding up and down, side to side, and playing with pinpointed pleasure against the head of the clitoris using its rounded tip. It offers 20 different speeds and patterns and is rechargeable, with an 100-minute run-time.
