Le Wand's Dive Is One of My Favorite Sex Toys of the Year
I once had a boyfriend who, after watching me orgasm so quickly and so strongly with a vibrator, looked at me mournfully and said, 'Now women will never need men again.' We were both 25 at the time and inexperienced, and not just sexually. I haven't thought about him or that conversation in years, but after the new Le Wand Dive brought me to orgasm pretty much on contact, the memory came back to me. He was right, after all: No one with a vulva needs a man for anything, especially a clitoral orgasm. My favorite bullet vibrator is the Le Wand Deux, so I have plenty of experience with the company's sex toys, but nothing could have prepared me for the Dive. Off-the-Charts Intense Courtesy of Le Wand When I first encounter a vibrator, I always go through the vibration intensities in my hand before anything else. While testing a vibrator against your nose is the best way to figure out if the settings are strong enough (or too strong) for your clitoral satisfaction, I've tried so many vibrators that I can gauge their strength fairly well with a grip. I do this as a way to give myself a heads up as to just how powerful something is before I use it on my clitoris. Maybe the other wands I have in my collection have exhausted themselves with time and use, but when I cranked the Dive to its top intensity (there are 10), the vibrations were so strong that I could feel them up my arm, across my chest, and into my jaw. Even 20 minutes after this brief test round, my hand was still feeling the effects and struggling to shake the tingling away. I tend to be a glutton for high-intensity vibrators on my vulva, so I'm so happy I did this first. With this necessary information about its power in mind, I eased my way into the Dive during my first time, taking on each intensity slowly, although you have the option to hold down the (+) button and take it from zero to 60 in seconds. I couldn't get past the fourth intensity without completely caving and having an immediate orgasm. I was equally shocked, impressed, and confused. But most importantly, feeling so amazing and practically enlightened—thank you, oxytocin!—that I briefly thought I could solve all the world's problems. But because the Dive isn't just splashproof but fully submersible, I knew I was just getting started, and the world would have to wait. Underwater Fun Courtesy of Le Wand I've never really been into sexual activities that involve water. I learned after my first few forays into pool sex that water washes away natural lube, so my mind has categorized sexual pleasure and water separately. However, with the Dive being waterproof, I had to unlearn what I knew.

Wild Secrets Satisfyer Enchant Air Pulse Rabbit Vibrator review

Product prices and offer details are not assured, and should be confirmed independently with the retailer. Learn more WARNING: Adult content. As the more intricately complicated of the sexes, it's no secret that vulva owners need more than one feature to tickle their tastebuds and tantalise them into orgasm. So when I discovered that Wild Secrets, the country's leading destination for sexual wellness online, had cosied up with the largest pleasure-tech powerhouse in the world, Satisfyer, to create a one-of-a-kind sex toy with both a vibrating shaft and suction-style clitoral stimulation, I couldn't wait to get my fingers on the Wild Secrets Enchant Air Pulse Rabbit Vibator. Because as a sex writer who's been lucky enough to have trailed some of the world's best sex toys, I don't say this lightly that if a device boasts dual functionality, run out and buy it because you won't be disappointed. And this world-first collab is no exception. Wild Secrets Enchant 9.1" Air Pulse Rabbit Vibrator - powered by Satisfyer. Picture: Wild Secrets Since Sex and the City first introduced generations of women to the powerful pleasure of a rabbit vibrator, the classic toy has gone through plenty of changes. But this latest update might just be my favourite yet. Wild Secrets has given its Enchant a glow up to feature more flexibility in the head and shaft, a sleep digital display so you never run out of power mid-pay, and upgraded to Satisfyer Pro 2 Air Pulse Technology. In other words, with its 12 internal vibration functions for your G-spot and 11 Air Pulse clitoral stimulation modes, it's the perfect package for those who love penetration alongside external pleasure. While it's got promises to blow users away (figuratively and physically I later learn), this device isn't just all about tech, because it feels like a luxury. Made from velvety soft and body-safe silicone, the curved rabbit vibrator is smooth as butter to touch and slip inside yourself – with a little help of water-based lube if you need. The only con I felt was that the clitoral stimulator, or what I call the clit sucker, didn't quite sit naturally on my most erogenous zone. But with a bit of hand-holding, I was able to shape the flexible head to my body and reach the areas where it was most needed. HOW WE TESTED THE WILD SECRETS ENCHANT 9.1' AIR PULSE RABBIT VIBRATOR In my world, a sex toy is never just for solo play and I love nothing more than bringing it into the bedroom with me. So when my long-distance boyfriend flew into town, I handed him the toy and the reins, giving him total control over my pleasure. With him in the driver's seat, I lay back on my bed while he flicked through the buttons and got familiar with our added extra. And then he delved right into it. WHAT WAS THE EXPERIENCE LIKE? I often find vibrators a tad tricky to manoeuvre, but with a slick of lube and my naked boyfriend beside me, it slid right in. Then my partner flicked the switch. Like an earthquake deep inside me, the Enchant began to emit waves of pleasure that grew with every level of pressure wave intensity and vibration function and trembled through my vaginal walls. Shaking with ecstasy that sent shivers down my arms, the power of not one but two independently controlled motors was almost too much to bear as I leant in and rode the waves of satisfaction. HOW POWERFUL WAS THE TOY? COULD IT STIMULATE AN ORGASM? With both the pressure wave intensity and G-spot vibration function at their highest peak, this is one hell of a powerful sex toy not to be underestimated. And while I don't usually orgasm from a vibrator alone, this double-whammy with its clit sucking action was enough to push me over the edge, sending me spiralling into a never-ending delight. DOES IT OFFER MULTIPLE OR VARIABLE SPEEDS? Yes, just in case I haven't shouted about this enough, the Enchant features 11 pressure wave intensities and 12 G-spot vibration functions which are all controlled on the digital display, as well as the charge level. Simply lay back and flick through the options until you find your perfect combo. IS THE ENCHANT USER FRIENDLY? It always takes me a while to get my head and hands around a new sex toy's functions, but once I've got a grip on how it works and exactly what will get me to climax, I'm a well-seasoned pro and the Enchant was very straight forward. IS IT EASY TO CLEAN? Absolutely. With its super smooth silicone and waterproof ability, the Enchant is super easy to wash down with water and gentle soap or an antibacterial toy cleaner after a messy session. Or better yet, take it into the shower with you and knock off two birds with one stone and then let it fully dry before putting it away (or you could keep it on your bedside table to use again and again later on …). HOW MUCH IS THE ENCHANT? The Enchant is $159.99 which I think is a steal for a two-in-one toy with a motor that gives you an orgasm like that. VERDICT: IS THE WILD SECRETS ENCHANT 9.1' AIR PULSE RABBIT VIBRATOR WORTH BUYING? While I had my reservations about an internal vibrator, being a girlie who loves clitoral stimulation, the Enchant blew my expectations out of the water. Soft and luxurious with the perfect balance between firm and flexible, this toy feels amazing against the skin, while the curved shape fits perfectly in the palm and against the body for satisfying sensations. But it's the suction-style clitoral stimulator that steals the show with its huge variety of patterns and intensities meaning there's something to suit every taste and mood. Whether you want a slow tease or want to go hard, a setting exists to send pleasure radiating through your entire body for a toe-curling, never-ending finish – solo or with a partner. As a sex and relationships writer, Ebony Leigh is Australia's answer to Carrie Bradshaw, if she was a Samantha. Inviting readers under the covers to share her erotic stories and blow the top of taboos with no subjects off limits, Leigh is your unrestricted pass into the scandalous sexploits of an insatiable 30-something.

The best sex toys for women, tested by The Sun's Sexpert
WHO says you need a partner for a summer of love? All you need is a well-stocked top drawer — because self-love has never been more on trend. Despite this, only a third of women own a vibrator. If you're not one of them, what are you waiting for? And if you've already got one buzzing away, there's always room to upgrade with the latest pleasure tech. Because solo sessions should be just as satisfying as the real deal, if not better. From air-suction toys to remote-controlled love eggs, there's a whole world beyond the basic buzz — and some sizzling deals to snap up too. Whether it's for solo play or more play, Sun Sexpert Georgie Culley has selected the best sex toys for women to get your summer sizzling, in more ways than one. Womanizer Enhance Womanizer Enhance Pleasure Air Vibrator, £149 from Lovehoney BUY HERE Pros: Uses both air suction and vibrations, endless combinations of air, vibration and pattern settings, waterproof, five-year guarantee Cons: Expensive, the charger is a bit fiddly At this price point, this is for those who prioritise pleasure. But with a reported 100% orgasm rate in user testing, this little gadget is well worth the splurge. The key to the Womanizer's success is its dual action, utilising both air suction and vibrations. And if that doesn't do the trick, there are over 1000 combinations of the toy's air, vibration and pattern options to play with. The magnetic charger can be a little bit fiddly to get the hang of at first, but the 120-minute battery life more than makes up for this. Waterproof, rechargeable and with a five-year guarantee, this pricey vibrator means business in the bedroom. Smilemakers The Artist The Artist, £119.95 from Smile Makers Smile Makers has reinvented the wheel with this rabbit-style vibrator — but in this case, that's definitely a good thing. Named The Artist (a nod to French surrealist René Magritte), this toy brings a certain je ne sais quoi to your solo sessions. It's a luxury product through and through, and with its sleek design and 30-degree flexibility, it's in a class of its own when it comes to delivering climaxes. At this price point, you'd expect it to perform, and it doesn't disappoint. With nine vibration settings and pressure-sensitive sides that let you adjust intensity with a squeeze, it's intuitive, elegant, and seriously effective. Fully waterproof, rechargeable and complete with a satin storage bag, it's a must-have for anyone who likes their pleasure with a side of Parisian chic. Moregasm+ Petite Pebble Moregasm+ Petite Pebble Vibrator, £38 from Ann Summers Pros: Affordable, small and discreet design makes it perfect for holidays, delivers better orgasms than an average bullet vibrator Cons: Short battery life, can be slippery when wet This clitoral vibe might be pocket-sized, but it packs a powerful punch, and it's discreet enough to slip in your suitcase for some holiday hanky-panky. It may be small, but when it comes to satisfaction, it's seriously mighty. As well as having three power settings and three pulse patterns, this device is designed for maximum contact making for stronger orgasms than your average bullet. Its battery life may let it down a little, but a USB charger means the Moregasm couldn't be easier to get going again. If you're using it with a lot of lube, this vibrator can be a little slippery when wet, but it's nothing you won't get used to with a bit of practice. And trust me, practising with the Moregasm is no chore. Dame Fin Finger Vibrator Cons: Can get a little noisy The Fin easily slips between your fingers and is endlessly versatile, whether you're going it alone or with a partner. On your own, this water-resistant vibrator is perfect for use in the shower. And between the sheets, you can remove the finger tether if you choose. Its three settings do the job if you need an extra boost during penetrative sex with your partner, and speed things up if you fancy a quickie. Its battery lasts 90 minutes, which is more than enough, and it's easily recharged with a USB. The highest setting can get a little noisy, but giving it a go under the sheets can help muffle that telltale buzz. An added bonus is the sleek design, choice of colour and an adorable pouch which comes with the vibrator. Lovense Lush 3 Lovense Lush 3, £149.99 from Lovehoney BUY HERE Pros: Remote control function adds an extra dimension, huge battery life, quiet This remote-controlled vibrator is perfect for continuing that holiday romance when you get back home. It takes two to tango with this love egg and matching app, letting your partner control the settings of the hands-free vibe from home or away. And if you want to spice things up, let your man take charge when you are out and about, without worrying about anyone hearing that buzz. The price tag's definitely on the steeper side, but with its curved design built to hit your G-spot just right, it's worth every gasp. And with a whopping five hours of battery life, you won't have to cut your long-distance sessions short. Maude Vibe Vibe, £40 from Maude Pros: Affordable, stylish design, small enough to travel with, easy to operate Cons: Doesn't have the variety of settings offered by some competitors If style matters as much as substance, this might just be the vibrator for you. It's so chic that it's been sold at New York's Museum of Modern Art and the Louvre's Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. But the real question is, aesthetics aside, will it have you crying 'ooh la la!' for all the right reasons? Like the best modern works of art, this vibrator likes to keep things minimalistic, with three speed settings controlled by one button. But don't let the restriction in settings put you off; this toy has a 4.8 rating from over 1000 reviews for a reason. It's powerful, good-looking and promises to last you years. Smile Makers The Tennis Pro The Tennis Pro, £49.95 from Smile Makers Pros: Fun design, quiet and discreet, great performance Cons: None from us, but some reviewers say it's less-suited for beginners Even if you don't like Wimbledon, this device is something you will definitely love-love. Even if you don't like Wimbledon, this device is something you will definitely love-love. Its clever tennis ball shape serves up a perfect G-spot or clitoral orgasm with no back and forth. Looks aren't everything, but this is a really cute vibrator with a smiley face on one end and a tennis ball at the other. But that doesn't mean a compromise on function — its four speed settings and two pulsation modes will get you screaming. But if you need to avoid making a racket, this vibrator is exceptionally quiet and discreet. It's 100 per cent waterproof with a two-year warranty; this vibrator is set to be a smash hit. Lovehoney Dual Embrace Dual Embrace, £89.99 from Lovehoney BUY HERE Pros: Dual stimulation, travel lock, long battery life Cons: Buttons and attachments can be initially confusing If you like the best of both worlds, you'll love this toy's offer of both G-spot and clitoral stimulation. A bonus is that you can change up the heads depending on what kind of buzz you are after: licking, pulsing or pleasure air. There's also a handy travel lock feature, in case you are worried about any awkward vibrations coming from your carry-on. For the shaft, you can choose from three speeds and six pulsation settings. The buttons and attachments might be a touch confusing at first, so have a play with them ahead of time to avoid any fumbling. Overall, this is a top-notch toy that won't leave you high and dry, thanks to its 120-minute run time. It's also fully waterproof, making it perfect for steamy solo sessions in the bath or shower — or some wet-and-wild fun with a partner.

Go Ahead and Shower With the New Waterproof Magic Wand
Versions of the iconic Magic Wand have been our top-pick vibrator for more than a decade. And now, for its latest trick, the Magic Wand is waterproof. The Magic Wand Waterproof is distributor Vibratex's answer to a shortcoming of previous versions — you can't shower or bathe with them, or run them under a faucet for easier cleaning. Compared with previous versions, this newest model also has a stronger, more rumbly level-four 'high' setting. In our experience, it feels like the most powerful Magic Wand yet. Expect to pay extra for these features. If a waterproof toy is important to you, or if you crave even more intensity, it may well be a worthwhile investment. This is a waterproof version of our longtime top-pick vibrator. It's rechargeable and can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes, which also means it is easier to clean than other Magic Wand models. No other toy matches the power and intensity of the widely beloved Magic Wand. The intense stimulation it provides can be particularly helpful for people experiencing diminished libido or sensitivity. This is a waterproof version of our longtime top-pick vibrator. It's rechargeable and can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes, which also means it is easier to clean than other Magic Wand models. No other toy matches the power and intensity of the widely beloved Magic Wand. The intense stimulation it provides can be particularly helpful for people experiencing diminished libido or sensitivity. The Magic Wand Waterproof looks almost identical to the Magic Wand Rechargeable, our top pick, with a few subtle differences. The circumference at the top of the body is a bit larger (it's 0.3 inch wider in diameter, per Vibratex), and the unit itself weighs 60 grams (about the weight of a chicken egg) more than the Rechargeable version, according to our measurements. 'Waterproof' is clearly printed below the Magic Wand logo, so there's little risk of your accidentally mixing it up with another model you may own. The Waterproof version also functions the same way as the Rechargeable model does, with an on/off power button and two buttons to take you through four intensity levels and four vibration patterns. In addition to being waterproof (with an IPX7 rating, it can be submerged down to 1 meter, or 3.3 feet, for up to 30 minutes), this toy produces vibrations that feel stronger and more rumbly at every level but especially at the highest, level four. Whether that is a selling point or a drawback for you depends on your personal preference, but people who adore the Magic Wand because of its unparalleled power are likely to appreciate this upgrade. For regular users of a non-waterproof Magic Wand, the ease of throwing this new model in the sink for a quick and easy soap-and-water rinse under the faucet will be absolutely liberating. Being able to use it for a shower massage or in a tub is a bonus for those who enjoy playing in water. The Magic Wand Waterproof takes a dip in the bath. Bianca Alba for NYT Wirecutter The Magic Wand Waterproof has a few minor flaws. It is about $60 more expensive than the Rechargeable version, and people who already find the Rechargeable model to be too strong probably wouldn't enjoy the additional power this toy offers. The Waterproof model must also charge longer for a shorter total run time: four hours of charging for two and a half hours of play, in contrast to the three hours of charging for three hours of play with the Rechargeable version. Unlike the Magic Wand Rechargeable, the Magic Wand Waterproof is nonoperational in charging mode, so if you run out of juice in the middle of a session, you're out of luck. This was designed as a safety feature, and it's the only significant drawback we found in this toy in comparison with the Rechargeable model. Another minor drawback: A small included blue cap is intended to be plugged into the charging port when the vibrator is submerged in water. The toy is fully waterproof without the cap, which is meant to keep the port dry so that it can be safely plugged in for charging. If you're prone to losing and misplacing small objects, keeping track of this cap may prove to be an annoyance. From top: The Magic Wand Plus, a corded model; the cordless Magic Wand Rechargeable, our top pick; and the cordless Magic Wand Waterproof, the newest toy in the line (and the only one that can be submerged in water). Bianca Alba for NYT Wirecutter If you are a Magic Wand lover looking to upgrade or replace an existing toy, and you don't mind spending a little extra for ease of cleaning, versatility, and added power, this model is worth the additional expense. This article was edited by Tracy Vence and Kalee Thompson. Few products have had as profound an effect on sexual health as the Magic Wand . It's a decent back and shoulder massager, too. Over 10 years of research and testing, we still think the Magic Wand Rechargeable is the best clitoral vibrator. It's an effective whole-body massager, too. Buying a vibrator can be tricky without a great recommendation. This week, we discuss why vibrators are still so taboo—and how to pick one you'll love.

The Luxus Is a Couples Sex Toy That Relies on Magnets and Movement
Sex toys geared toward partners are hit or miss. It's usually a singular device that tries to pull double duty, pleasuring both parties simultaneously. But the Luxus tries something a little different. It's a new brand from Kiiroo, a company that has been making sex toys since 2012. Luxus has two components: a cock ring and a clitoral vibrator. The cock ring can, for obvious reasons, be used hands-free once you slide it on the penis, but I wasn't sure how that was going to work with the clitoral stimulator. The company sent me three accessories for the stimulator: a finger grip, a body-safe reusable sticker, and a harness (the latter is sold separately). When my partner put on the cock ring (LuxHim) and I fastened the clitoral vibrator (LuxHer) to my body with the harness, we were ready to roll. Magnetic Attraction Courtesy of Luxus As our bodies got closer and started to move, the vibrators followed suit thanks to magnets. There's a magnet in the LuxHim, and a magnet sensor in the LuxHer. So with every movement my partner made, my vibrator was right there stimulating me along the way—the faster he moved, the stronger the vibrations I experienced. As much as I loved this aspect, once my partner stopped moving, so did my vibrator. If you want to keep the stimulation going for both partners, sticking to some movement is key in making that happen. No movement on my partner's end meant no synced clitoral vibrations on my end, and considering this is a couple's sex toy, that seems fair. It's also, for those who prefer something discreet, whisper-quiet. I have nothing against loud toys, but I do find that when I'm using sex toys for couples, the quieter the better, so neither partner is distracted. If you're out with your partner and get home, horny and aroused as hell, this isn't the time for Luxus. It's in these moments that, if you want to add a sex toy to the equation, it's best to reach for something like the Crave Vesper Mini or the Dame Hug to amplify your sexual experience. With these products, you don't have to mess with syncing anything and can immediately get to business. The Luxus requires a little bit of planning. Set aside an afternoon or evening where you know you won't be rushed and can prolong the fun activities before heading into orgasm territory. Luxus isn't designed for a one-and-done quickie before bed but rather a sexual journey—after all, it can last up to five hours when fully charged. The LuxHer also isn't dependent solely on LuxHim for vibration. To do this, just move through the modes via the button on top of the vibrator.
