The best sex toys, tested and reviewed Popular Science

Now, in the Digital Age, the world of sex toys for men has introduced new blow-up dolls and even more portable artificial vaginas. Some prostate toys even combine multiple sensations for the ultimate experience. Whether you want to tiptoe into pleasure or dive headfirst, there’s a device tailored just for your vibe.

High-quality sex toys online are made from body-safe materials like silicone , glass, stainless steel, and ABS plastic. If your sex life has come to feel monotonous, sex toys can help you conjure more intense versions of sensations you already enjoy, and help yourself feel more closely connected to your partner. There’s a widespread misconception that sex toys are a thing you use before you meet your partner—or something you use for solo play when they’re out of town. But sex toys aren’t just for single folks, Lisa Finn, a sex educator at Babeland, tells SELF.

It uses pulses to intensify your pleasure, with a curved structure designed to hit all the right nerves — a positively regal experience. Don’t get us wrong, all of the toys on this list are top quality, but if you want something extra to expand your collection, invest in a LELO toy. The helpful thing about the site itself is that it includes diagrams of how the product can be used to maximize pleasure. This one, the Soraya Wave, is super high-tech rabbit vibrator that uses LELO’s signature WaveMotion technology to simulate “finger-like” motions and thrusting.

No matter what sex toy(s) you decide to go with, remember that toys are just fun tools—they’re not your competition or your replacement, any more than a carpenter is in competition with their hammer. This double-ended waterproof strap-on offers three vibration speeds and seven patterns for both the penetrating and receiving partner. Plus, this strap-on features a raised nub to stimulate the wearer’s clit for added pleasure. If you’re looking for a small but mighty vibrator that’ll enhance clit stimulation during partnered sex, look no further. At less than three inches long, this pint-size bullet vibe packs a pleasureful punch with 10 vibration settings.

The range made it easy to build up to intense orgasms and also offered a way to customize the experience for folks with sensitivity issues. Many online erotic purveyors are stuck organizing their sites in binary “men” and “women” categories. Not so with Lovers, which cuts to the chase with verticals named “Sex Toys,” “Vibrators alien fleshlight,” etc. Under “Pulsators,” you’ll find the Womanizer Premium 2.0 ($209), designed to stimulate e-ver-y clitoral nerve ending. High-energy types will appreciate the Jack Rabbit Signature heated thruster ($119), which is also submersible and waterproof. And with just the click of a button, you can heat the shaft to 131 Fahrenheit (or 55 degrees Celsius) in just 40 seconds, which is why I keep coming back to it, and you probably will, too.

We loved that Kiiroo Keon was compatible with the Real Feel app (screenshots in the image above). The smartphone application was relatively responsive, and connecting it with the masturbator was straightforward. In addition, the well-articulated prompts on the screen made it quick to pair it with other sex toys like Pearl3. If you’re looking to get off and save money in the process, PinkCherry hits the spot. Not only do they carry a wide range of products with a decent assortment of very affordable, but their deals and discounts are off the charts. They have an entire clearance section full of vibrators, suction toys, and more up to 80 percent off.

Unlike air pumps, the suction pressure was drawn more evenly, and the results were pretty quick. In addition, there was minimal strain on the penis, and you’ll hardly experience any discomfort as blood is drawn into the penile tissues – you’ll hardly notice it going on. Like other TPE-made models, cleaning the sex toy can be a pain in the ass. A combination of the porous material and a closed sleeve design made cleaning and drying more tedious than other pocket pussies we tested. Among the review highlights, we singled out the impressive attention to detail evident from the design and multiple angles and refining that make it easy to wear and comfortable for extended use. In addition, the cock ring boasted several bells and whistles that make it a worthy investment.
