According to certified sex therapist and psychotherapist Lee Phillips, LCSW, CST, CSCT, sex toys can be a tantalizing addition to your sex life because they can add diversity, excitement, and creativity to the bedroom. “Routine sex and masturbation can get boring, so why not spice it up and try something new? Sex toys can help you achieve the orgasm you desire,” he tells mbg. “Many of my female clients report this because sex toys provide extra clitoral stimulation.” Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned sex toy enthusiast, it can be tricky looking for the right gadget for your orgasm needs. Fear not: We’ve done the heavy lifting for you so you don’t have to break a sweat (until you want to, that is). We’ve picked the brains of couples’ therapists and sex experts to round up the best sex toys for women and vulva owners. These recommendations will get you offline and into the bedroom for the ultimate plug-and-play pleasure. The hard plastic ABS materials are latex-free and phthalate-free, meaning it’s safe to use on your genitals. Another favorite of Moore’s, she recommends the toy as an effective yet budget-friendly option. “It gets the job done for a toy that costs less than your average trip to Starbucks.” The Eva’s slim and compact wearable design allows it to stay in place comfortably while the three-speed motor can reliably get you to orgasm with your partner. Play with it in the bedroom or in the shower; the medical-grade silicone material and waterproof feature allows for fun wherever you want to go. Certified sex therapist Bat Sheva Marcus, Ph.D., MSW, MPH, notes this is a brand she recommends often. “It’s not inexpensive, but because the suction needs to be fairly powerful, it’s worth paying up for this. Many women say it feels like oral sex. So if you are an oral sex fan, and that gets you off, this one might be for you.” The medical silicone mouth on the sex toy provides suction to the clitoris, allowing for a unique pleasure that reaches deep into the sex organ. Between 11 intensity levels and 10 patterns of pulsing, the toy allows you to have multiple orgasms without putting anything inside of yourself. Plus, it’s waterproof and boasts a 60-minute battery life—plenty of time to allow for experimentation. Made with soft silicone and ABS plastic for safe play, it features rabbit ears for tickling the clitoris and a curved shaft to provide pulsations to your G-spot or prostate. Phillips recommends it for any of his clients looking for simultaneous vaginal and clitoral stimulation. The rechargeable pick comes with an updated, easy-to-clean silicone head and the same legendary deep, rumbly vibrations for orgasmic pleasure. “It’s an all-around massager that works not only on my pleasure zones but also on other parts of my body or my partner’s like the back, neck, and shoulders after long travels,” Moore says.
