So you want to know which toys are actually worth your money? I’m a firm believer in outsourcing when you need to, but orgasms aren’t one of those things. There’s nothing worse than a killer toy attached to a selfish partner, so my best lover is always a piece of silicone. The sex toy industry is a billion-dollar playground, and with constant drops and luxury pricing, it’s impossible to know what’s actually revolutionary versus what’s just viral hype. As VICE’s sex and wellness writer, I’ve tested everything from those TikTok-famous clit suckers to G-spot massagers, wands, and more. Here’s what actually made the cut and never left my nightstand.

These are the toys I think you should keep in constant rotation. 

THE BEST sex TOYS for women

• Best Wand: Le Wand Submersible
• Best Clit Sucker: Womanizer Next
• Best Viral Toy for Beginners: Nancy Lem
• Best G-Spot Toy: Lovense Lush 4
• Best Clit Massager-and-Sucker Duo: Satisfyer Pro 2
• Best Rabbit Vibrator: Playboy Pleasure’s On Repeat

Best Wand: Le Wand Submersible

Ah, the coveted wand vibrator. From Sex and the City to 2026, it’s earned its recurring spot in thousands of bedside drawers. Le Wand’s wand vibrators have consistently remained at the top of “Best of” awards because of their sheer power. The vibrations are deeply intense, almost like a rumble. Oh, and it’s waterproof, unlike other wands on the market. By far, its waterproof, specifically, submersible ability is key as it allows you to take this on your wettest adventures. Whether you’re a squirter, love water sports, or shower play, this can tag along. 

There are 20 vibration patterns with 10 speeds, so you’ll never get bored. But warning: this thing is strong. Surprisingly, not even the brand’s strongest vibe. If you’re new to sex toys, don’t be intimidated. This is still a fire option for your clit and nips.

Le Wand’s submersible will run you about 2 hours, so lesbians, strap in. This thing is in for the long haul. Plan on using this for solo sex instead? Highly suggest you take it into the bath with you. This wand sex toy also has a travel lock setting, so you don’t have to worry about it turning on in the airplane’s overhead bin or wherever else you’re enjoying pleasure.

Now, a toy that packs this much of a punch is as big as it sounds (about 11.5 inches), but what it takes up in size, it makes up for in pleasure. Also, it does have a flexible head so you can maneuver it just as you please.

Best Clit Sucker: Womanizer Next

Womanizer’s clit suckers are expensive—there’s no denying that. However, the Womanizer Next is worth the premium price. Simply put, it’s expensive because the viral technology that made clit suckers a household name is Womanizer. They created it. Oh, and it’s the quietest toy I’ve ever put my hands on.

Out of every clit suction toy I’ve ever tested, this remains a favorite. Clit suckers like Next use little pulses of air at rapid rates to create a suction feel. Next is in my top 3 of the most realistic toys that mimic oral sex. (It’s a tough pick between Womanizer’s Next, Enhance, and Premium 2. They’re all fire). 

The settings on this toy are unlike any other. It uses something called Climax Control to help you gradually rise through each setting, which sucks deeper as you cycle through higher settings. Instead of jarring pivots from each intensity setting, you get a lovely, smooth rise to your big O that feels otherworldly, in my opinion. Think: cruise control, but for your clit.

There are three key vibration levels. Each of those levels or settings is like having three distinct “eating out” styles. Now, just as a lover would give you soft kisses down there and then speed up the tempo, this does the same. You have three intensity settings within each level. 

The only caveat is the button setup. Looking at it at first felt like looking at an air traffic control panel. Ok, slightly dramatic. But I definitely needed to spend a few minutes perusing the instruction manual to understand just how to use it.

Best Viral Toy for Beginners: Nancy Lem

If you’ve seen the buzz around Hello Nancy’s Lem, you struggle to separate the fake white-listed products from the real, highly rated reviews. Don’t worry. We were skeptical about Lem, too. However, it absolutely does live up to the hype as a beginner sex toy and health tool. Yes, you read that correctly. Everyone from beginner Gen Z to women with cancer and navigating menopause uses this. A generational It-Girl, if you will. 

What makes Lem so beginner-friendly? It’s easy to use. No crazy button setup that rivals a control center. You have two buttons, one to increase vibrations and another to lower it. It’s ergonomic and fits right in the palm of your hand. You will hear the vibrations. But don’t worry, your roomies or the kids probably won’t.

I personally have a sensitive vulva, so the settings on this sucker were perfect for me. You’ll have 12 settings in total, but I honestly didn’t need to go past level 5. If you have trouble getting the right suction and always wonder if it’s an online gimmick because you can’t achieve it, try this. Use a few drops of lube (water-based ideally) on your clit and then position the suction head on your clit. This will give you a good seal, as they say. 

However, some women feel the sensations aren’t strong enough for them. So, if you’re a seasoned clit suction toy user, you might want to skip this for a toy with even more settings from Womanizer’s lineup. 

As for the vibrations, most women are using this to their advantage as it helps them feel sensation down there again after traumatic events like cancer. According to GP, Clinical Sexologist, and BMS Registered Menopause Specialist, Dr. Angela Wright, “As a doctor who focuses on sexual health, I frequently recommend the Lem as a high-quality, beginner-friendly suction toy. It’s particularly useful for women who sometimes find they become less responsive to vibration after menopause or cancer.”

My favorite sex tech feature is that newer models of Lem use a USB-C charger, so if you can’t find your charger, you aren’t fucked. You can just use your phone charger, making it a good lifestyle fit for women who prioritize frequent orgasms.

Best G-Spot Toy: Lovense Lush 4

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: there’s a reason Lovense’s Lush 4 is in every cam girl’s content. Never seen it before? Take a scroll through any porn site, and you’ll see that Lush 4 is a supporting actor.

Context: Lovense is one of the leading Bluetooth sex toy creators, allowing lovers and fans to connect from thousands of miles away. For context, your viewer could be in Guam and control your vibrator inside of you in the U.S. You can even sync to music or another partner’s toy.

Lush 4 is a hot pink egg vibrator that looks unassuming at first – but will change your life. It skips all the bells and whistles and sits right on your G-spot, delivering the most direct and deep rumbles that rival Womanizer’s vibrators. For context, the first setting was good enough for an entire masturbation session. Every time I tried to hit the next setting, I quickly cycled through the settings to go back to setting 1. 

If you’ve ever used a sex toy and wished its vibrations were stronger, go ahead and buy Lovense’s Lush 4. 

Inserting it is half of the fun, so make sure you have a water-based or silicone-based lubricant on hand to help. You can tease yourself by using Lush 4 on your body and massaging it on your lips before diving straight in. It’ll help you relax and open up. Because it’s an egg vibrator, it will feel full inside of you. That full feeling, paired with the G-spot vibrations, is spectacular. Sidebar: It’s been in my bedside drawer since the first day I used it.

Best Clit Massager-and-Sucker Duo: Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen 3

Reddit is always divided with opinions, but one thing most women agree on is that the Satisfyer Pro 2 is that girl. If you like clit suckers, you’ll be glad to know that this merges that lovely air tech with another fun feature: Liquid Air Tech. Rather than having just the usual suction we all know and love, this adds another vibration style that feels like surges of water, or waves of vibration on your clit. This is achieved by placing a silicone cap over the suction head that gives you oral. Interchangeable heads = double the pleasure. (We know, the word cap is not sexy, but we promise, it feels just as soft as the overall toy.)

This sex toy is also unisex and feels amazing on nipples, clits, bottom growth, and the tip of your dick. Basically, anywhere that could use a little extra stimulation. If you’re in a long-distance relationship or love remote toys, Satisfyer’s dual stimulator can be purchased with app compatibility for about $10 extra. 

Dual stimulation clit suckers aren’t as easy to come by, and the price will consistently be a pretty penny. The Pro 2 is on the more affordable side in comparison (about $100 cheaper) and has cheaper cost options if you forfeit app compatibility. 

Good first sex toy option as it’s easy to use and has a handle.

Best Rabbit Vibrator: Playboy Pleasure’s On Repeat

A 9/10 graduation from my first rabbit vibrator, enter the CalExotics’ iconic Bounding Bunny. There are literal tons of these on the market. But my favorite is Playboy Pleasure’s On Repeat’s because it has massaging beads that literally rotate on your G-spot and it flutters on my clit, which is a top-tier feature for me. 

The two together? Blended. Fucking. Orgasms. 

Other dual vibrators are a bit much for beginners. This dual vibe is more likely to feel like really great strokes with light stimulation of your clit. Almost as if you were rubbing your clit as you were penetrated. The massaging beads feel like nothing you’ve ever felt before, because, well… dicks don’t have rotating heads. 

On Repeat not only has a curve, but that extra circular motion on your G-spot. If your boyfriend sucks at sex, skip this. You’ll never be able to go back to basic strokes again.

If thick girth isn’t your favorite, I’d skip this, too. It’s not extremely thick, but the multiple functions paired with the toy’s contours may be overwhelming for you. If it’s not? Try rubbing your clit against the rabbit ears as you stroke and touch your clit. That little nub has a rumbly vibration, too. Truly more bang for your buck.

How We Tested (And What We Were Looking For)

Think of this list as your tried-and-true guide to intimate wellness. Every product on this list has been tested both inside and outside the bedroom, from the wild outdoors to the airport bathroom, car, my house, my lovers’ houses, and beyond. (I’m both an exhibitionist and a sex toy reviewer.)

I’ve also used a few of these in comparison to their competitors (yes, all of the latest clit suckers, too). For example, our “Best Clit Sucker” superlative was well-earned and tested against every Womanizer toy (the creators of the technology behind clit suction. We’ve also done more recent reviews of the products below, such as the Womanizer Next, Nancy Lem, and Satisfyer Pro 2 Gen 3. 

In total, this experiment is a 7-year, ongoing experiment to find the best of the best toys for you. From luxury clit suckers to the most budget-friendly toys, every item on this list has been personally tested.

Other Products We Considered

There were quite a few products that were so good, we wished they could make the list. However, we could only pick one toy per toy style so we had to make some cuts. For example, we also considered:

• Rose Toy for the best beginner, viral toy
• Unbound’s Puff as a more affordable clit sucker (that personally, I enjoy and like holding better than Lem) 

But, both of them have half the battery life of Lem, aren’t made with medical-grade silicone as she is, and have fewer settings. If none of those things matter to you, go for Puff for affordability, or the Rose for aesthetics. 

First Toy?

If you’re a toy newbie, don’t worry, I included the best styles for new toy users, too! Your first toy is probably not going to be a huge 10-inch dildo. It’s best to start small with a classic rabbit vibrator like Playboy Pleasures’ On Repeat, or an under $50 clit sucker like the Unbound Puff. 

Starting off with small investments allows you to try things without breaking the bank. 

Things to Know Before Buying

Now, for some quick science: Most women nut from one (or more) of these three ways: clitoral pleasure, penetrative pleasure, or both. To make sure we get you off, I’ve included a few “2-in-1” -esque options at varying price points and capabilities. 

• Here’s your cheat sheet. Dual stimulation typically means it stimulates your clit and penetrates you, at the same damn time. 
• Clit suckers are solely going to give you a clit orgasm. 
• If that leaves you wondering how you’ll get strokes in, opt for a glass dildo or vibrator with a shaft.

Bottom Line

Although I love and am recommending every product on this list, I’d be most excited to spend my hard earned money on Lovense’s Lush 4 and Womanizer’s Next. As a sex writer, I’m always looking for products that stand out and make me rave to my own friends. Those two products have earned every bit of lip service. Lush 4 is the perfect G-spot vibrator because it fills you up and stimulates that spot directly. I have yet to try anything like it. The same goes for Next, but most importantly, it’s the quietest and most realistic clit sucker I’ve tried (out of dozens).

The most universal “you should buy this title” goes to Nancy’s Lem. As I said, it’s a generational It-Girl, and I have a feeling it’ll still be dominating our FYPs in three years. Whether you’re struggling to feel sensation down there or just need a new go-to for good head, Lem is it.

If you prefer clitoral massagers over clit suckers, Satisfyer’s Pro 2 Gen 3 merges both into one, giving you the power of variety in the bedroom. Sometimes, you want to switch it up, and that’s okay. It’s best to have a toy that can adapt to your needs. 

As for wand vibes, there are so many to choose from, but Le Wand’s submersible is one of the few that doesn’t skimp on both vibrations and waterproof abilities. (If you want to lose it, Google waterproof versus water-resistant sex toys. Spoiler: ignore water-resistant toys.) 

Most importantly, if you desire a true ole reliable that penetrates, massages your G-spot, and stimulates your clit… Run, don’t walk to grab Playboy Pleasures’ On Repeat. 

Before finalizing your order, though, make sure you’ve checked each retailer we’ve shared, as some have better deals than others (pro tip).
