D I.Y Sex Toys: Self-Love Edition
For example, we discovered that the Je Joue Mimi worked best on only one setting, and even then it produced uneven vibrations. The Satisfyer Pro 2 viberators, which stimulated with suction and seemed like a promising competitor for the Dame Aer, caused our testers occasional discomfort. And owners report that the inexpensive Wahl All Body Powerful Therapeutic Massager breaks easily. The Magic Wand Rechargeable’s control panel is slightly less intuitive and less easy to use than the dual switch of the Original model, but it’s still fairly straightforward. You could accidentally hit the wrong button during play, but switching back to the correct mode is easy enough. Some testers said they disliked the texture of the Original version’s white vinyl head.
The sex toy industry is unregulated—so, whether you’re shopping in person or online, it’s essential to seek out reputable retailers, says Dr. Berkheimer. The Lelo Gigi is a classic G-spot vibrator—and the latest version doesn’t disappoint. The ultra-quiet toy has a uniquely flattened tip that makes it easier to find and stimulate the hot spot.
At $55, it’s half the price as the currently-unavailable Shegasm 5 Star Rabbit we previously recommended for internal/external stimulation, although it lacks the thumping mechanism that made the 5 Star Rabbit model a standout. The Sonnet is a fine toy, but our tester preferred the 5 Star Rabbit overall. The 5 Star Rabbit is also covered by a longer warranty (five years versus the Sonnet’s one). The presence of possibly toxic chemicals in sex toys has been a source of significant concern in the sex-toy-aficionado community. Sex toys are not well researched—beyond this study by the Swedish Chemicals Agency—or regulated by any consumer-safety agencies.
The hot pink design had mixed reviews, putting half our testers off for lack of subtlety, while the same number were wary of the noise level. Overall though, they found this vibrator pleasurable to use and easy to operate. Perineum, taint, tomato, tomahto—whatever you call it, it’s a nerve-packed goldmine of pleasure. This cock ring is specifically designed to vibrate against yours while you wear it , taking orgasm from a seven to, oh, an eleven.
You can adjust the modes to focus on sucking or the “tongue,” or find a setting that’s a perfect mix of both. Andy Powers’ influence on the substance and style of Taylor guitars has been truly significant. Over his 14-year tenure leading Taylor’s design efforts, he’s introduced entirely new bracing patterns and body profiles—never easy when working for a legacy brand in a tradition-oriented industry. Godin may be a Canadian company that skews modern in its design approach.
