Photo: Courtesy A good vibrator is like a dependable friend you go to for the basics — some relationship help, a boost in morale, a good time, etc. And that kind of reliability is great, but sometimes you need some fireworks (we're talking the grande finale kind). Since sex toys now are basically as advanced as any Elon Musk creation, it's time to test out some of these new gadgets and find your very own bedroom Tesla. The crux of the matter, though, is that it can be initimidating to shop for sex toys — especially if it's your first. After all, sex toys are available everywhere, from Amazon to Goop. To make the process less stressful (remember: sex toys are supposed to be fun and feel good!), we talked with sex experts and therapists and researched a lot of products to gather up the best sex toy recommendations. First things first: Consider what king of toy you're looking for. Is it something that will stimulate your clitoris? Are you looking for anal or vaginal penetration? "Give yourself permission to let your turn-ons lead the way in deciding what you want to buy," says Alexandra Fine, the CEO and co-founder of Dame Products. "I recommend doing a little research beforehand on reviews on different types of sex toys (wands, butt plugs, G-spot toys, etc.) to see what appeals most to you." Once you know the type, look for a toy that's made from quality materials, like medical-grade silicone, stainless steel, and glass. According to licensed marriage, family, and sex therapist Vanessa Marin, these are the safest. "In general, you get what you pay for with sex toys," Marin tells InStyle. "I recommend saving up for a high-quality toy rather than buying something cheap." Once your new toy arrives, try it out in a calm atmosphere so your body is relaxed and ready to climax. If you can't finish on first use, test it out a few more times before tossing it to the side (most retailers offer store credit or refunds after purchasing, so check these details out beforehand, too). And don't stress — even experts struggle. "What I've found is that if I'm open, I can usually find pleasure and even climax with just about anything," Fine says. "You can learn to find pleasure in anything, but your gut is also probably right. If a toy doesn't make pleasure easier during the first three times, get that store credit." Now, to the good stuff. Below, you'll find 25 popular toys like clit suckers, cock rings, and anal plugs — some of which have incredibly specific features that can pleasure the part of your body you want pleasured. These finds include couples' toys, touch-free devices, wireless gadgets, and more, and they'll certainly give your basic vibrator a run for its money.

Thanks to pressure-wave technology, this heaven-sent toy mimics all of the sucking and pulsing sensations your clit would feel from oral sex. The quiet, waterproof toy has 11 different settings that, according to reviewers, will get you off in 30 seconds or less. Yowza.

Somebody, somewhere, heard your prayers, because the Lelo Sona 2 comes with cruise control technology that any car manufacturer would envy. The vibrator can sense how much pressure is being exerted on it and increases intensity on its own for a truly pleasurable and personalized orgasm. It's so good that Khloé Kardashian bought it for Kourtney as a Mother's Day gift. There's nothing quite like the gift of self-pleasure. Laurie Mintz, PhD, author of "A Tired Woman's Guide to Passionate Sex" and on-call expert for sex toy brand Lelo, says this toy is best for heterosexual couples. "The woman can use [it] to stimulate her clitoris during intercourse," she says. "Because, for the vast majority of het women, combining penetration and clitoral stimulation is the most reliable way to orgasm during sex with a partner." Shop now: $139; lelo.com Mystery Vibe Tenuto Vibrator Courtesy Having sex with a partner is great, but that doesn't mean it can't be better. The Tenuto vibrator is all about adding sensations for all parties involved. It increases blood flow and extends erections for the penis-wielding wearer, and it provides seriously powerful vibrations for both parties to get off to. Oh, and you can customize those vibrations on an app. "A sex toy like no other," wrote one five-star reviewer. "This is not a nasty cheap [big] pink pseudo willy — it's a piece of art that can deliver a great deal of fun and pleasure." Shop now: $169 (Originally $229); mysteryvibe.com We-Vibe Moxie Courtesy Using a remote control or an app, you can switch up the vibrations without laying a finger on this vibrator.

The rechargeable toy lasts up to two hours and is completely waterproof. Shop now: $120 with code LOVE (Originally $229); ellaparadis.com Dame Pom Flexible Vibrator Courtesy Designed to nestle in your palm, the Pom vibrator can really hone in on clitoral stimulation. It's compact enough to use while being penetrated, yet powerful enough to help you climax on your own. "I believe that having a sex toy that caters to clitoral stimulations — one that can be used during solo and partnered sex — really shows people with vulvas that their pleasure is a priority," says Fine. "Pom offers both pinpoint and broad stimulation, continuous intensity controls, and the most powerful motor of any of our products." Shop now: $95; dameproducts.com Lovehoney Desire Love Egg Vibrator Courtesy No matter how you use it, this egg will give you the pleasure you're looking for.

"I find that it hits the spot and more," writes one happy shopper. "The range of pulse patterns means you can suit your mood and the varying intensity is a lot of fun, especially if your partner has a hold of the remote." Shop now: $125; lovehoney.com Lelo Ora 3 Courtesy Craving oral sex while alone? That's a bind you'll no longer be in with the Ora 3. This toy is all about stimulating the motions and rotations of a tongue, but it's supposedly even better. It's so good that the brand touts it as "the world's most intuitive oral sex simulator." And users seem to agree. "Best hands down," wrote one reviewer. "No pun intended." Shop now: $169; lelo.com Adorime G-Spot Rabbit Courtesy Imagine if a rabbit vibrator transformed itself into a stronger, sexier device. That's exactly what this G-spot rabbit is.

Shop now: $29; amazon.com Dame Fin Finger Vibrator Courtesy Adding a little bit more flame to your finger game, the Fin vibrator fits securely around the finger and can be used in a number of ways. "I have used to self pleasure, to add to the experience of pleasuring my man, and as a tool while engaged with my partner," explains one reviewer. "Perfect for all three and provided a more intense experience for each." The pick-your-position device has a pointed side and a squishy side that each provide intense pleasure. Gotta love a two-fer. Fine says the toy is "great for different types of stimulation depending on your mood and has many interesting features, providing lots of options for both solo and partnered play." Shop now: $85; dameproducts.com Mystery Vibe Crescendo Vibrator Courtesy The G-spot deserves some love, and Mystery Vibe's Crescendo gives it just that — and then some.

"I love that there's different weight sizes which are interchangeable so I can adjust to what I'm in the mood for," wrote one five-star reviewer. "I use them for my routine kegel exercises but sometimes I pop them in while relaxing with a glass of wine for a very subtle ache build up!" Shop now: $59; lelo.com Lelo Hugo Prostate Massager Courtesy Another partner toy, the Hugo Prostate Massager is powered by a remote control that works from up to 40 feet away. The waterproof and rechargeable device has eight different pleasure settings that'll send you through the roof. "Insertion is easy for me with some lube, and it hits the prostate and the perineum quite well," wrote one reviewer. "The remote is pretty easy to get the hang of, and I'm a big fan of the 'shake' motion sensitive mode — the harder you shake or tap the remote, the harder it vibrates." Shop now: $219; lelo.com Lelo Tor 2 Courtesy Choose from six settings for customizable pleasure stimulation. This rechargeable cock ring stretches to fit, not suffocate, the shaft. It extends erections while jolting pleasurable pulses externally. And because it's thicker than other cock rings, more surface area is covered and stimulated. Shop now: $130 (Originally $154); ellaparadis.com Lelo Loki Wave Courtesy Anal penetration can be intimidating. For beginners, sex therapist Marin recomends starting with a small, simple butt plug. "For more intermediate, the Lelo Loki Wave is great," she says, noting that it's known for "incredible prostate play." Shop now: $219; lelo.com Je Joue Mimi Soft Clitoral Stimulator Courtesy You won't have to worry about any provocative outlines in your purse with this round, compact toy.

Shop now: $95; dameproducts.com Zumio ZumioX Clitoral Stimulator Courtesy If you want accuracy, this is the toy for you. It uses rotation, rather than vibration, to stimulate the clit.

Shop now: $147 with code LOVE (Originally $219); ellaparadis.com Womanizer X Lovehoney Pro40 Rechargeable Clitoral Stimulator Courtesy With a whopping 240-minute runtime, you certainly get what you pay for with this clit stimulator. In addition to six suction settings, the rechargeable toy is waterproof. Shoppers say with it, they don't mind being single. "Cute and compact and easy to use in your hand," wrote one five-star reviewer. "Quiet when you've got the cup closed, if you like vibrators then this is the one for you." Shop now: $69 (Originally $123); amazon.com Shibari Mini Halo With nearly 5,000 reviews and a 4.1-star rating, it's clear that this massager is a hit among Amazon shoppers.

Shop now: $28; amazon.com Mimic Plus Courtesy The unique shape makes this toy a must-have. It's an external vibrator that is designed to stimulate the clitoris and the labia at once, and it can be used in many different positions. Shoppers say it's easy to use while being penetrated and makes for a more intense finish. "Not only was this my first orgasm during intercourse but my first with any partner simultaneously," wrote one user. "Can't recommend this highly enough. Texted a friend soon after that she had to buy one too." Shop now: $150; babeland.com We-Vibe Sync Couples Vibrator Courtesy Designed to be used however you want, this vibrator for couples can flex into whatever shape you and your partner choose. It's perfect for hitting the clit and G-spot at the same time, but it can really be used for any type of external or internal play. For fun at a distance, a downloadable app can control the vibrator, even when you're states away. Marin says what makes the We-Vibe Sync stand out is its ability to stimulate both partners at once. "So my husband and I have been living in separate states for a few months due to military life," wrote one reviewer. "We wanted something that could spice up our life when we are together and apart. Let me tell you this did the trick. He loved that he could be in another state and control everything. I love that the app lets you video chat as well." Shop now: $119 (Originally $143); amazon.com We-Vibe Tango Lipstick Bulletr Courtesy Carolanne Marcantonio, a licensed social worker and sex therapist, says the Tango Lipstick Bullet vibrator is her favorite toy to recommend because "it's basically the smallest, strongest toy that there is. "It's easy to hold on your body while you're being penetrated without getting in the way," Marcantonio says. "Anyone and anything can experience pleasure with this vibration — nipples, testicles, clit, inner thigh." Shop now: $80; lovehoney.com Dame Eva II Hands-Free Vibrator Courtesy Designed to be used during sex, this hands-free vibrator has gentle wings that tuck under labia and secure a snug fit.

Shop now: $135; dameproducts.com MysteryVibe Poco Vibrator This choose-your-own-adventure toy molds into whatever shape you please, but it specializes in hitting the G-spot. You can control this compact vibrator's 16 different intensity levels in person or through an app, either of which will deliver some serious results. Shop now: $89 (Originally $129); mysteryvibe.com Rekink Premium BDSM Whip A top-selling sex toy on Amazon, this genuine-leather whip is what foreplay's all about. Shoppers say the soft material keeps things fun, rather than painful. "It feels good in the hands, lightweight, and well-built at the same time," wrote one reviewer. "I love the color and the feel of the leather on my skin. I enjoyed both using and being used on and am more than happy with both." Shop now: $18; amazon.com Was this page helpful?
