Yep there are some weird vibes out there (many of them trash novelties) but there are a few that belie their crazy design and actually work wonders on your bits. Here's our Top 5.

1. Volta by Fun Factory

WHAT IS IT?

Let's face it. Volta looks like a pair of fish lips on a stick. You'd be forgiven for thinking that Volta wanted to play your clit like a guitar - but that's exactly what it does! Those flapping, flickering lips can play your pussy like Tommy Emmanuel or, when you add pressure to mute the sensation, give you a more Jimi Hendrix experience. Just WOW!

WAYS TO USE

  • Use it at top speed over the clitoris for laser like focus
  • Press it harder for broader stimulation
  • Insert it vaginally for a unique experience
  • Spread Volta's lips, add some lube and slide it up and down the shaft of the penis or labia
  • Vibrate it around the nipples - it's brilliant!
  • Perfect for penises that don't always achieve a full erection
  • Experiment with splaying the lips and keeping them together as well as changing the angle of the Volta

 

2. Vesper by Crave

WHAT IS IT?

In 2008 designer Ti Cheng created a line of vibrators that doubled as jewellery. Crazy right? But the Crave Vesper is a truly beautiful piece that doubles as a fabulous edition to your outfit and a discreet, throbbing, portable best mate. Function and design together.

WAYS TO USE:

  • We love the Vesper for its pinpoint stimulation that's as perfect for clit as it is for the frenulum.
  • Wear it out for dinner or the movies and let the vibrations pulse over your breasts at leisure.
  • Have you ever had a nipple orgasm? When Crave polled their audience, they found that 25% of them had!
  • Tie your partner up, blindfold and run the Vesper over the entire body, getting into the smallest spaces.
  • Best present EVER! (Available in Silver, Rose Gold and 24k Gold)

 

3. Manta by Fun Factory

WHAT IS IT?

Always getting the 'What's this'? treatment is the Manta that looks more like BBQ tongs than a sex toy. Designed for the penis, Manta softly envelops any size shaft, catapulting delicious sensations through the entire area - glans, base and frenulum. The wings and base are ridged for extra heavenly sensation.

WAYS TO USE:

  • Manta is wonderful for those who can't always achieve full erection and can be incorporated into all sorts of partner play. You can read a review of the Manta here written by a customer experiencing erectile dysfunction post prostate surgery
  • Try vibrating Manta at the base of the shaft and add some head for next level sensation. Hands down one of the best blow job enhancers around
  • Vibrate the Manta at the base of the penis and masturbate as usual
  • Lube up the Manta and stroke it up and down the penis
  • Hold against the shaft of the penis during sex. Wow you're a vibrator!

4. Pulse Solo Essential by Hot Octopuss

WHAT IS IT?

Looking more like an electronic monitoring device than a vibrator, Pulse nevertheless is one of the greatest inventions for penis stimulation on the market. It has an oscillating plate that can bring a penis to climax even when that penis cannot achieve an erection. Add some lube and it can be used as a stroker or use it as a couples toy.

WAYS TO USE:

  • Grasp the 'wings' of Pulse and replicate the squeezing action of your hand
  • When in the missionary position, have your partner's vulva glide over the vibrating underside
  • Lube it up and glide the Pulse up and down the penis to experience unique sensations
  • Can be used hands free!
  • Unzip your partner's pants, slip the Pulse around the penis and wait for the explosion
  • Try the Pulse Duo with remote control and ramp up the partner play

5. Sila by Lelo

WHAT IS IT?

I must confess that every time I look at this toy I'm reminded of a Wagon Wheel - the delicious ones I bought as a kid from the school canteen in the open packet - presumably made fresh that day. I digress. Suction toys didn't exist five years ago and it's still baffling how effective these things are. You just need to attach it to your clit and wait. As delicious as a fresh 1970's Wagon Wheel.

WAYS TO USE:

  • Sila is perfect for all clitoral shapes and sizes. For trans women who are experimenting with pleasure, the suction toys can provide extreme and overwhelming stimulation
  • Try inserting a vaginal vibrator simultaneously
  • Use it in the bath - water creates a better vacuum seal that ramps up the stimulation by 1000%
  • Remove all expectation from this sucker and just let it do its thing. It really requires no effort. Weird.
