Promising review: "This thing is the bee's knees. It's strong, 10 different levels of strength, multiple different vibe modes, has just the right amount of weight and does the job, very well at that! It's great for solo and couples. It also comes with an app for long distance fun with a partner! Be aware that you must plan to use it before any kind of stimulation because YOU WILL NOT GET IT ON! Other than that I couldn't be happier with this one!" —JacksonP
Promising review: "GET IT! Single or in a relationship, this thing is a must-have! This is a necessity! Use it with your man, use it by yourself, just use it! I’ve read enough reviews to know it’s not really waterproof, it’s more so water resistant...clean the top part with water, I definitely wouldn’t submerge it in the tub or use in the shower...wouldn’t want to destroy such precious cargo 😂💛" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $54.99 (available in red or purple).
Unlike most panty vibrators, this one is strictly external and has a magnetic cap to help it stay put as you walk, sit, lounge, or whatever else you plan on doing.
Promising reviews: "This product is amazinggggg for long-distance relationships and even solo play. All different kinds of patterns, or you can make your own. Battery life lasts pretty well and it’s pretty discreet and stays in place well. I’d say that it is just a tad louder than what I expected, but I think that setting can be adjusted in the app. I’d definitely 100% recommend this — especially to long-distance couples." —Leah J.
"I'm not sure how people say this doesn’t work from afar, because this works. My partner and I live a thousand miles away and we got this and he controls it from a thousand miles apart. You have to learn how to actually use the app. I 10/10 recommend this." —maricelis torres
Get it from Amazon for $119.
This vibrator is called "Pep" (which it'll put in your step) and boasts five vibration intensities and three patterns to explore with both targeted and broad stimulation.
Promising review: "I always expect things like Pep to just be a regular ol' sex toy. Nothing fancy or special exactly, but does the job, you know? But the Pep is actually, like, so special without being extra. I'm happy with the vibration settings, particularly how soft they start out! There's a perfect gradient between levels and it never feels too harsh and it's just *chefs kiss*. Probably my favorite part is the difference in firmness on different parts of it, soft on one end, a little firmer on the other, and it fits so nicely in my hand. Also can we talk about how nice it is that it's waterproof? So easy to clean, which is major. Keeping this Lil' Thang ON ME 4ever." —Lauryl S.
Get it from Unbound for $40 (available in blue and orange).
This wedge-shaped pillow is designed with a machine-washable cotton cover and water-resistant lining in case things get a little messy. A handle on each side offers support no matter your favorite position.
Promising review: "The angle was incredible for both of us. My wife had never experienced a G-spot and clit orgasm at the same time, ever! Also she didn’t want to stop! It is a bit firm, but we feel that lends to the pleasure. We have had other pillows in the past, but way too bulky and big. This is priced right, too." —Kerry D.
Get it from Dame for $95.
This medium-size plug is 112 grams in weight, 4.3" long, and 1.2" wide. A flexible base and neck offer effortless positioning and removal, while the weighted silicone plug has six vibration patterns and four intensities for endless possibilities.
Promising review: "This is such a wonderful plug. It slides in so easily and feels so comfortable. Almost, like, too comfortable but certainly full. I will want to go bigger soon. My wife will inherit this one for her starter plug." —MattmanTX
Get it from B-Vibe for $100+ (available in M and XL).
Überlube is fragrance and flavor free, so it fits into your routine effortlessly. It also comes in convenient travel-sized bottles for taking on the go. One reviewer even uses it to help prevent chafing on hot days! Just please don't use this lube with your favorite silicone toys because it will ruin them and you can't say I didn't warn you.
Promising reviews: "I've bought this five times, and this is my second review, over a year after the first. I will still never use any other lube ever again. It is, hands down, the best I've ever tried. It's perfect for erotic massage and pretty much every sexual activity. It's never sticky, it doesn't cause irritation, it doesn't taste like anything. It's expensive, but, at this point, it's a necessary expense." —Aurora
"I found Überlube by searching for the best lube and found it on multiple lists. I have never purchased lube outside of Astroglide and that was 10 years ago. Überlube is more expensive than your drugstore brands and you can feel the difference! Because it's silicone based it retains some friction and uses your body's natural wetness to continue lubricating after you apply it. It isn't so wet that there's zero friction. And the bottle is so pretty that you can leave it out. I had it out on my nightstand and was telling my friend about how amazing it is. She wanted to see for herself and asked where it was — it was right in front of her and she didn't notice. Do your body a favor and upgrade your lube. You'll be so happy you did!" —Lauren
Get it from Amazon for $18.19+ (available in 1.69 oz. and 3.38 oz.)
Now, you can absolutely use this lube with your silicone toys and condoms.
Promising reviews: "I've used other kinds of lube...my friend suggested this and it makes me regret using any other kind. I bought a second bottle the day after receiving the first so I will never run out LOL. It's also been a month since I started using it and I haven't used much (and I tip the bottle frequently!) so overall it doesn't take much. It doesn't really dry or get sticky (not like anything else I've used) and if you add a little more, spit, or if you got a little bit of pre-cum (haha) it works just fine! It also doesn't damage (IDK what else to call it) the skin so after you clean up you skin has a normal feeling...maybe you know what I mean, maybe you don't, but overall it's great." —Nathan Miller
"I love this product. Feels great. Doesn't leave a gross feeling after using. Lasts a good amount of time before reapplication is needed. Only wish they made larger bottles!" —Jessica Sheridan
Get it from Amazon for $5.59+ (available in two sizes and quantities).
Want more lube options? Here's a curated list of the best lubes to get started and another for the best anal lubes.
Promising reviews: "This lube is amazing! My boyfriend is rather endowed and he’s my first. This lube made things easy and comfortable for sure." —Kai Welsh
"Very slippery and long lasting, feels good in any hole. Zero irritation. Keep some dedicated rags handy for cleanup and wash separately. Wipes right up off of skin easily. Good company and nice people. This is premium lube, get some." —eric reed
Get it from The Butters Hygienics Co. for $6+.
The Butters Hygienics Co. is a Black- and Queer-owned business based in Michigan that creates products using simple ingredients and hand-crafted in the owner's kitchen. In true millennial fashion, they want you to be able to afford quality body products that do what the bottles say they do.

Promising review: "These were great for my entry into anal play, I think the material and size were great with not having much experience. The purple one felt incredible for both my partner and I when he was penetrating me vaginally at the same time. All in all led to a very fun night." —Paige
Get it from Amazon for $12.95 (available in black and pink/purple).
If you connect to a video, the sleeve mimics the movements made by the stars in the scene or you can play with your partner from afar and they can create custom strokes and patterns to take you to the edge.
Promising reviews: "Powerful 360-degree vibrations, custom and automatic settings, plus Bluetooth compatible, easy to clean... You can go hands free (the automatic mode simulates sex and I didn't need to do anything else to get the job done) or take a little more control. All in all, no complaints about this toy. Grab some water-based lube to go with it." —Mark
"This device is pretty darn great. It has the perfect feel and tightness to simulate that familiar feeling. The different vibrations are a very nice touch that really does enhance the experience. Pros: Feels great, easy to change settings while in use, goes great with VR, easy to clean, charges fast and holds charge well, not very loud. Con: The only real con I can think of is the 'automatic' modes don't really do it on their own, though they do still feel great. Overall, I would say this is very much worth the money. It will do exactly what you want, and in a way that feels good. If you want to take this from amazing to mind blowing, pair it with a nice VR headset and you will be in another world." —Bernard Black
Get it from Bellesa Boutique for $149.
The slim, ergonomic design offers effortless handling on your own, but also easy fitting between you and a partner.
Promising reviews: "Very efficient! Love the interactive feature to use with my husband that works far from home. Works with both of our Apple phones fine. Ten and up. Sleek design, easy to hold. Works quickly. My only small, menial complaint is that it is slightly loud and I worry about kids coming into my bedroom so I get caught! :) Not a big enough deal to stop me from loving it." —marybrnrd
"I don’t write reviews but felt obliged too for any customers considering purchasing. Girlfriend loved it! It’s a little sad to be jealous of a toy! The app is fine. Tried long distance, had some minor connection lags that could’ve likely been due to our own internets so I wouldn’t hold it against them. GF claims that it fits perfectly. Very silent on the lower intensities. Smooth, nice texture. Didn’t even have to go to the highest intensities to get her off. She wants to now gift it to all of her girlfriends! She literally just started using it, so we can’t speak to longevity, but are very pleased with the purchase. :)" —Javier Perez
Get it from Amazon for $141.55 (available in dark blue and pink).
No, but really — this adorable external vibe has five vibration intensities and a waterproof design for pint-size fun that packs a punch.
Promising review: "When I bought this, I was new to the whole process of doing it myself and I had a general idea of where my clit was but I wasn’t 100% sure. Now, after playing with this toy, I know exactly where it is. I love how quiet this is while still being very effective. It’s loud when it’s not in contact with anything but as soon as it has something to vibrate against, it is much quieter." —Anonymous
Get it from Bellesa Boutique for $49.
The O-ring fits pretty much any dildo with a base up to 3.25" and since it's silicone, it's best to use water-based lubes during play.
Promising reviews: "Works great with a harness and pretty much any strap-on dildo me and my partner own. Would highly recommend. Easy clean and came exactly as described. Super-soft material. 5/5." —Jacquie
"This made the base of so many dildos much more pleasurable to me! I use it with and without the harness...sometimes I will put it on the base of a dildo that I am using manually and then grind against it. Great stimulation!" —Anonymous
Get it from Wet for Her for $34.36 (originally $42.95; available in five colors)
There are six various dildos in the line, each one with a different length and girth, so you literally can't go wrong.
Promising reviews: "This things is girthy!!! Not for first timers. Tons of fun for my partner but only after some loosening up if you know what I mean. Don't start with this unless you're a bit of a size queen. Otherwise, go for it! Texture is great! Fits in regular strap O-ring. Suction is good, too!" —nich (on D3 Summer Fling)
"Love this dildo for anal play. It’s just the right size for everyday use, if ya know what I mean. Sometimes love something bigger and maybe even way bigger but this is always the warm-up go-to!" —Sam W Gall (on D6 Electra)
Get it from Amazon for $35+ (available in assorted colors and sizes).
This waterproof vibrator has a run time of 1.5 hours with five intensities and five patterns to keep you buzzing.
Promising reviews: "The Arc is such a great addition to my nightstand. It's beautifully designed, powerful and quiet. This is my first internal vibe and I'm loving it for both partnered and solo play." —Rhiannon B.
"In addition to the Aer, the Arc is my partner’s favorite toy. High quality, she uses for internal stimulation, G-spot orgasms and especially for her clit. The versatility is great. The rumble is perfect!" —James R.
Get it from Dame or Amazon for $115 (available in ice and berry).
Dame Products is a woman-founded company developing well-engineered toys that encourage vulnerability, heighten intimacy, and add value to your pleasure.
This petite little toy is 1.7 inches in diameter and 2.8 inches high.
Promising reviews: "I love this vibe! I've been looking for something cute and rechargeable with multiple settings. I mainly use them as a bullet but I'm sure folks who like butt stuff will love them as well. Also, the silicone texture is just wonderful and I like to stim with it. This might end up being my go-to vibe for a good while :)" —A.F.
"I absolutely love this product. The vibration on it was stronger than I expected, and it's super easy to wash. It's cute enough that I just leave it on my nightstand like a little piece of art." —O.D.
Get it from Cute Little Fuckers for $69.
Cute Little Fuckers is a queer-owned small business that features (some very adorable) creature-inspired sex toys, making them less intimidating and more versatile to everyone’s needs.
They also have an XL version with the same design!
Promising review: "Got these because the ones we were using kept rolling, but after using these my partner didn't even have to worry about grabbing the base as they pulled out since the condom was such a great fit and didn't even roll throughout the duration! My partner also states that these felt way better then the regular Durex ones we normally use." —bobalcazaer
"Pros for vagina-havers & bottoms: feels better cause it doesn’t slip around as much aka irritate your parts. Sometimes condoms can slip around a bit and chafe and that seems to be resolved with the snug fit of these. Pros for penis-havers & tops: Thinner than ultra thins, a snug fit without pinching or cutting off any blood flow, feels good to wear as it forms to the shape of you, rather than just kinda being a mostly fitting bag that gets put on over your junk." —Yoshi Yui
Get it from Amazon for $9.26+ (available in three pack sizes).
These popular nonlatex condoms also have a larger- and wider-size counterpart!
Promising reviews: "I feel there are several benefits to these condoms. They seem to stretch more than latex, making them easier to put on than latex condoms. Because these aren't latex, there's no risk to developing a latex allergy over time (depending on how much you use them). They're very soft and thin. I honestly don't think I've ever used a condom that allowed me to forget I had it on until these came along. This has become my new condom of preference." —C. Wood (on the Elite)
"These feel great with more room! :D Other brands feel quite constricting or, even worse, they leave behind a certain latex smell that definitely lets everyone in the room know your business. But with Skyn :O they are just...a joy to wear; you feel a bit more and they are easier to wear and put on and they smell great, too, ooh la la." —huskandhunger (on the Elite Large)
Get it from Amazon for $15.38.
This XL form of protection boasts a comfortable flared shape with a reservoir tip to help catch those swimmers. Check out this list of the best external condoms if you want more options!
Promising reviews: "Hello, all, after using this product for a couple weeks I can say it is my recommended choice for those fellas who are above average. I notice a smoother and more relaxed motion when putting it on. Most condoms I have used in the past require a bit of force to fully put on, unlike this one. For a comparison I can say it is better than Trojan Magnums both in quality and durability." —Zach Rodgers
"These are not quite as snug as regular condoms, which made for a more comfortable fit. They don't seem any longer. Also, there is no noticeable latex smell." —S Hernandez
Get it from Amazon for $10.93.
This ergonomic waterproof vibrator embraces your curves with six speeds and six pulsation patterns. Also, there's a "surprise me" mode, and you'll literally have to buy the toy to find out what that means...
Promising review: "Love it all: nice shape, feels wonderful, it is very comfortable and has easy settings. The pulsation is very satisfying with many levels of pleasure. Highly recommended, I bought another as a gift for a friend." —Adi S.
Get it from Smile Makers for $129.
This dildo is 5.7 inches long and available in three various widths based on one, two, or three fingers.
Promising reviews: "AMAZING. I loved that my girlfriend was able to get off with me too! Definitely wished we had bought the medium size rather than the small, but we’ll definitely put this one to good use." —Anonymous
"I've been on both the giving and receiving side with this toy and really enjoyed it. My girlfriend was able to orgasm from topping with a strap-on for the first time with this toy. The texture and firmness of the toy is also great." —Anonymous
Get it from Wet For Her for $55.96 (originally $69.95; available in three sizes).
This silicone beauty is also 1.6" wide for a comfortable fit that delivers a full feeling.
Promising review: "Firm, squishy, and definitely girthy!! Be sure to set aside some time and lube, especially if ur new! This is my first real dildo and I've only been able to get about two thirds of the way down, but I'm sure I'll make it happen! The texture is great whether your inserting or just using for external stimulation, suction cup works fantastic, it looks really pretty, and you can tell it's very well made. The bullet vibrator is REALLY strong, BTW! Tried them both out the second they got here :)" —SIX
Get it from Spectrum Boutique for $39.
Spectrum Boutique is a sex-positive retailer run by self-proclaimed "Dildo Duchess" Zoe Ligon to provide customers with curated collections and resources.
This toy also comes with two silicone heads, so you can choose what fits your body best.
Promising review: "The Duo is my first product from Womanizer. I was always reluctant because of the price point but hey, you get what you pay for right? I'm so glad I bit the bullet and bought this toy because let me tell you, it is a GAME CHANGER. The Duo has a sleek and smooth design paired with dual-control functions for a more personalized experience. You can control but the suction and vibration independently of each other so you'll never be stuck with a setting that you don't like. There is also an individual button to change vibration/suction patterns, making the possibilities endless! One of the coolest features is the Duo's 'Smart Silence.' While the toy is powered on, it won't start up until it has contact with your skin. As soon as it's moved away, it stops. Plus, it's COMPLETELY waterproof! I've used it multiple times both in the shower and bath with no issues whatsoever. As far as use goes, I'd marry this thing if I could. This is absolutely perfect for those that love penetration, but need clitoral stimulation to climax. Overall a great investment! Maybe invest in a waterproof mattress cover, too. Ya know, for good measure." —SpookyB
