Form 2

Form 2 Vibrator by JimmyjaneJimmyjane
Inspired by the rabbit ears from a Japanese classic, Form 2 is a unique external vibrator and further evidence that manufacturer Jimmyjane isn’t messing around. Two motors, one in each ear, operate separately and in unison and are controlled by an easy push button system that offers variable speed and vibration style. The vibratory effect is sort of erotically cacophonic, like there’s a small street festival going on in your vibrator. The Form 2 invites you to explore different ways of creating and experiencing external stimulation. Easy to clean, long lasting, body safe materials, and a smart and sexy charging unit.

Better Than Chocolate

Nomi Tang
Better Than Chocolate ups the ante on functional and well-designed clitoral vibrators. It improves on the design of similar shaped vibrators with its larger, flatter body, and with the wonderful addition of a touch pad to control both the strength and the style of vibration. Indeed the real innovation of Better Than Chocolate is the touch pad controller that creates a kind of kinesthetic onomatopoeia, where the motion the user makes to control the vibrator mimics a classic self-pleasuring movement. In this way the toy represents an important addition to the development of smart, sex tech, sex toys.

Laya Spot Vibrator

Fun Factory
The Laya Spot is one of those vibrators I find myself coming back to again and again when asked to recommend toys for friends. It does what it’s meant to do (provide external stimulation) consistently, durably and, like all Fun Factory toys, with a colorful sense of fun. Compact and discreet in design, Laya Spot is perfect for travelers and/or anyone who has a lack of privacy. It’s hand held design also allows it to be used for manual massage and easily integrates your own touch into the stimulation from the motor.

Silver Bullet Vibe

There are dozens of different versions of this classic vibrator. The silver bullet is great for beginners as it is inexpensive and relatively powerful. Because the vibration comes from a small area it’s also ideal for exploring your whole body and discovering where you enjoy vibration most. The main drawbacks to the silver bullet vibe is it’s short lifespan and the hand numbing effect it can have when holding it for too long.

We Vibe

We Vibe vibratorStandard Innovation
The We Vibe delivers on its one big promise, which is that it’s the first vibrator designed specifically for couples to use during penetration play. The We Vibe is designed to stay in place, and provides both clitoral and g spot stimulation for the wearer as well as stimulation for the partner doing the penetration. While it doesn’t offer a lot of versatility, the We Vibe is thoughtfully designed, well constructed, and represents a genuine innovation in the world of wearable vibrators.

Pocket Rocket

Pocket Rocket VibratorJimmyjane

An iconic vibrator, the Pocket Rocket was one of the first fully waterproof Japanese vibrators to carve out a brand name for itself (with the help of Howard Stern).  A simple, single speed vibrator, powerful for its size, comes in two colors.  Discreet and good for travel, the drawbacks of the Pocket Rocket include only having one speed (may be too strong for some people) and, because of it's size, holding it for too long may numb the hand of the holder.  But it's high quality at a low price.

The Cone

The Cone vibratorBabeland
The Cone offers a truly innovative sex toy design. At first it may seem strange, but its powerful motor and comfortable silicone material make it highly practical. By not looking like every other vibrator The Cone also invites you to re-think how you want to use a vibrator, and you’ll quickly discover the possibilities are endless (but your favorites are obvious).

Elemental Pleasures Le Lynx Vibe

Le Lynx titanium vibratorElemental Pleasures
For those with the budget and a love of sex toys, this is a must have. As sex toys have become more sophisticated (actually it was the customers who became more sophisticated, manufacturers have been dragged kicking and screaming into sophistication) true connoisseurs have been given more options. This is the highest end product available in it's price range.
