This rabbit vibrator weighs in at 10 inches long with an insertable length of 5.5 inches and soft, silky, body-safe silicone that's submersible, offering thrilling rumbles as you play. If Christian Grey had a penis that did all of these things, could you really blame Anastasia for falling for him?

Promising review: "My friend told me to buy this and that she orgasms in 40 seconds. I didn't believe her, first time trying this I left a big wet patch on my grey sheets. I’m not even a huge toy fan, but this has me wanting to use it every night! I love it!!" —Cookie

"I don't think I was prepared for how amazing this actually is. You can orgasm in seconds if you’re not careful. The vibrations feel amazing. My husband and I love using this, especially when he's in my ass. There are literally no words, you’ll be seeing stars." —LaLaa

Get it from Lovehoney for $99.99 or Amazon for $69.95.

At 7.5 inches long, this bulbous beauty steps into the ring and offers 2 pounds of weight for the full feeling your other toys might be missing.

Promising review: "Product will make your partner squirt. I would recommend pairing this with a magic wand as well. Problem my girlfriend and I encountered is it's actually too intense for her, and now she requires to be tied up, so I had to make a follow-up trip to Home Depot. Solid rating at 5/5, will spice up your intimacy time." —M. Allen

Get it from Amazon for $69.50.

This 1.5-inch diameter plug has seven rotation patterns and six intensities to explore and stimulate your P-spot as you start (or continue) your journey into anal play. Also, it's splash-proof!

Looking for something a little larger? Check out the Rimming Plug 2 and Rimming Plug XL, that have all the same features but a little more length.

Promising review: "I used this toy on myself and was thrilled by the strong vibrations and the rimming sensation of the stem. The larger rimming toy seemed intimidating, but this toy comes in a size that I can use casually without having to do a ton of serious warm up every time I want to use it. I wasn't sure if I would like the rimming aspect but found that it was an exciting new addition to an already great butt toy. Overall, I'm very excited about this toy and would recommend it." —Rimming Lover

Get it from B-Vibe for $159.99 (available in three colors) or Amazon for $110.99+ (also available in Rimming Plug 2 and XL; available in three colors).

B-Vibe is a premium collection of tech-forward anal play products founded by certified sex educator Alicia Sinclair.

There's also a more in-depth review written by an Intersex Male person, if you're interested.

Promising reviews: "There aren't many reviews on here from trans men, so I thought I'd throw my opinion out there in case there are other guys out there looking for something to spice things up. This toy is heavenly. It works well on many different parts of the body, and I have had fun exploring different places to try it: clitoris, nipples, etc. I love the simplicity of the vibration settings. You can turn the vibration up one level at a time, making it easy to build up to a climax slowly, or you can jump up multiple levels and get things done quickly, if that's your thing. I am so glad I bought this toy, and when this one finally dies, I will buy another one. I've had it for a couple months, and it's held up great. 12/10, seriously recommend this product for anybody with a clitoris. You will NOT regret it." —a. b.

"When I first tried it, I thought it wasn't so great. I gave it a few more tries, and now I LOVE IT. The secret for me was to start off at the lowest setting and gradually work up. I can easily have 3 orgasms back to back with this little device. Highly recommend. You won't be sorry!" —Julia

Get it from Amazon for $34.95+ (available in three colors).

There's a little bump at the top for an even more stimulating touch to the base of your tip, and ridges on the inside so that every movement offers stimulation.

I don't have a penis, but this looks incredible, and I want it.

Promising reviews: "Where do start!!!!! This has brought so much more spice into the bedroom. My bf was a bit scared at first, but this has changed our sex life big time!!! It's a must, I don't use it often, but I love it and so does my bf." —Denise S.

"A fantastic masturbation product. All frequencies have a lot to offer. The frenulum tickler is the big plus. This product can make me come in seconds." —Dale

Get it from Amazon for $23.99.

BTW, this toy is made of silicone, so it's waterproof; and like most Blush toys, it's harness compatible and has a suction cup base for when you need it to stay put. If you want more specifics on why these dildos are so perfect, check out my review on the Purple Rain D2 Avant dildo.

Make sure to peruse the rest of the collection on Amazon and definitely Blush's Pride-inspired collection, which includes plugs! Each dildo and plug is a different length and girth, so you literally can't go wrong.

Promising review: "I love sex toys, this one is the newest one in my collection. This brand makes the most soft and sensational sex toys that I've ever used. The feel is wonderful to the skin and if you're looking for something more on the bigger side this is the right one for you. I generally prefer dildos with a more narrow head so if you're like me you may have a hard time (pun intended) getting this one in but I took on the challenge. I just had to get very lubricated and extra turned on in order to fit this big boy, but in the end I had that feeling of fullness that I was looking for accompanied by the amazing texture from the toy and ended up coming super hard and feeling completely satisfied. Highly recommend for that lonely weekend or with some fun with your partner. :)" —Satisfied customer (on Summer Fling)

Get it from Amazon for $61.99.

This internal vibe by BuzzFeed's Goodful Wellness is also waterproof and rechargeable.

Promising reviews: "I got this as surprise for my wife, and did it! We used this together and was great." —P.

"My girlfriend wasn't sure a vibrator could get her to the mountain top — but it did, and did and did." —BC

Get it from Hustler Hollywood or Goodful Wellness for $45.

Promising reviews: "Best smallest vibrator I've ever had the pleasure of using. It warms up when you use it, so it's not cold metal. The settings all pack a punch. It has four of them. Also a cute statement looking necklace." —Rebecca

"This product is so easy to travel with. The charger is tiny, the vibrator is tiny. Even if you don't wear it as a necklace, it takes up no space in your bag. As a mental addition, it's pretty and nonthreatening, and the look doesn't scream sex toy. So it's very easy to introduce people to, even if they're not used to sex toys, and nobody feels threatened. This is a very useful product for me, and I'm very happy to own it. Make more like this! I want more pretty little toys. I'll add that I've had this maybe nine months, and it's continued working nicely throughout." —Firebird

Get it from Amazon for $79+ (available in three colors).

Simply tie the strings around your tub's faucet and let the water flow (just make sure the temperature is not too hot)!

Promising review: "Know what, I was skeptical about it. But I really like how easy it is to use. Imagine being your very own pillow princess. You tell yourself to just relax and enjoy it. It's empowering and refreshing. You could have your hands free for whatever — for an additional stimulant, for a good book, for anything on your phone, to massage a hair mask into your hair — or you could literally just kick back, because it does the trick on its own too." —Anonymous

Get it from Lovability for $35+ (available in teal, pink, purple, and 100% recycled eco-ebony).

Ah, good ol' Puff. *sighs dreamily* Every time I think I have found a new favorite sex toy, I go back to this one and am reminded all over again why I love it. There's only five intensities: simple, to the point — and I like to start at 3 and end at 5. It's incredible for edging, if you want to enjoy a longer session and it's also perfect for quickies. It's my go-to shower toy because it's waterproof, and I have actually considered just leaving it in the bathroom, but I won't. True story: it died on me the other day mid-session for the first time (I've had it for over a year and maybe charged it...twice?), so the battery lasts longer than you for the most part. Anyways, this is the toy I recommend to all of my friends and I have several who own it, and it's also the toy I recommend to random strangers I meet who are looking for new ways to come because yes...when you're a sex toy writer, that's a thing that happens. If you need to know more about this sex toy and why I personally love it, make sure to read my Unbound Puff review.

Promising review: "I’m new to all of this. My friends literally raved about Puff for a year before I finally decided to get one. I did not know…I could feel like that. It is amazing. It took me some time to fully utilize the suction feature in the Puff, but the vibration itself is *chefs kiss*. I also used it once during sex with my boyfriend and phew!!! I don't even know if I have any words. Great for beginners!" —B.

Get it from Unbound for $48 (available in quartz and mint).

There are seven patterns in the shaft and seven intensities in the external arm, not to mention this toy is waterproof and versatile (AKA, yes, you can get in a different position and get a rim job if you want).

Promising review: "Love it! Super soft to the touch. Gets the job done as you like it. Many different options as the rotator and licker can be on separately and reach having several setting. Feels great and relieves stress! The licker makes almost no noise. The rotator however is a little louder.. the rotator not very discreet. Love that it is waterproof as well since I love a hot soak in the bubble bath!!" —Candance S.

Get it from Honey Play Box for $68.99 (originally $79.99; available in three colors).

In true Cute Little Fuckers style, this toy is also waterproof and includes a removable bullet vibrator for versatility.

Promising review: "I love this toy. It's wide enough to make me feel full yet narrow enough that as an anal beginner I need very little warming up to get going with it. The curve at the end hits some really nice places, and the ears make it really easy to hold on to while going, and make it possible to spin the toy inside of me too which I found I really liked. Plus it's so dang cute! Maybe the cutest CLF in my opinion." —Fizzle

Get it from Cute Little Fuckers for $74 (available in yellow and purple).

Cute Little Fuckers is a queer-owned small business that features (some very adorable) creature-inspired sex toys, making them less intimidating and more versatile to everyone's needs.

The silicone ring stretches to fit a variety of penises (or dildos), and the vibrator has five speeds and patterns for up to 25 varying intensities.

Promising review: "This is a great addition to solo or couples' play. The ring is super stretchy and can fit around any of our toys. Loved when she was on top. She was able to grind on it without having to hold a heavy vibrator. Super quick and easy to clean and charges quickly! It's pretty quiet considering how intense the vibration can be." —Howard Martin

Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

Just FYI, this dildo is created with TPE, which is a plastic-like form of rubber. TPE is not a body-safe material (like silicone or metal) and will degrade over time with use. A couple of ways you can make this dildo last longer is to use a condom during play and only use water-based lubricant.

Promising reviews: "Omfg just buy it. Yes. So cheap. So realistic. So amazing. Perfectly soft yet firm, excellent suction, excellent "average" size (slightly above tbh). Just buy it!!! I've spent way too much money in my lifetime on dildos, none of them had anything on this bad boy." —kminetree

"BUY IT. First realistic toy I've bought and WHEEW. Way thicker than I expected, slightly painful if you're used to smaller sizes. It's clear, so I can see my tongue through it and I think that's kinda cool. Suction is good, comes right off your wall with a pinch to the base. It's made of a weird material, so stuff will stick, make sure to wash before and after. Definitely recommend." —michael

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

The OG Magic Wand is also formerly known as the Hitachi, just to avoid confusion. The same beloved classic is now available in Plus (an upgraded, corded version with multiple speeds), Rechargeable (cordless version with multiple speeds) and Mini (a travel-friendly, cordless version).

Promising reviews: "I had the original magic wand for a long time but was sad that it only had two speeds. I bought this because I liked the idea of a magic wand without a cord and with different settings. I was worried it wouldn't be as powerful as the original wand. It's actually better! With the different speeds and settings you can pick how powerful it is, even as powerful as the original. And so far the battery life has been pretty great." —A. Stott (on Rechargeable)

"I decided to try the Hitachi out because of the reviews. It came today...and so did I. Oh....my....goodness. This thing is better than my last vibrator. Actually, I didn't realize I had started it out on the lower setting. Nothing was 'happening' and I was getting a little worried. Turned the switch to the high setting and . . . hello! It is a bit noisy but nothing like my last vibrator. Ladies, I would never recommend a battery operated device. They just don't cut it. Now the attachments. I've never been one for attachments usually because they are just too small and don't do anything for me. However, the attachments for the Hitachi are substantial. I'll be using those from now on. I love my Hitachi!!" —D. Novak (on Original)

Get it from Amazon $54.99+ (available in four styles).

Promising reviews: "Oh my word! This little beauty is the perfect shape to find the all important G-spot! It's light and easy to handle! Looks so pretty and stylish! I absolutely love this little beast! Perfect for solo play and partner play! Deffo recommend this toy!" —Claire H.

"I had the Rose before this but I love the length of the Myth, along with how the head is perfect for clitoral simulation but can also go directly to my G-spot. Absolutely incredible, the pink is so cute and came with intimate gel that is amazing!" —maddie t.

Get it from Vush for $50 (originally $100).

Vush is an Australia-based sexual wellness brand that's all about self-love and creating IGworthy sex toys that’ll rock your world and match your aesthetic.

Promising reviews: "After my first use (shoutout for arriving in the mail charged) I came like NO OTHER! I didn't know how I was going to feel about the tongue but it reminded me of the best head I’ve received so obviously I was in love. I mean it when I say my first immediate thought was, I will no longer need a man because I have this toy. 😂 So if you wanna ditch your man, woman, person, and whoever else, this toy will keep you satisfied probably better than they can. 12/10" —TJ

"With the price of this I didn't expect much...but WOW. I am shocked at how awesome this little gadget is; so awesome in fact I don't even get two minutes in using before it's game over for me (in a really good way). It's easy to use alone or during intercourse for extra intensity (good lordy), waterproof, soft/smooth and easy to clean, charged fast and holds the charge for a shockingly long time. It has more speed/intensity options than I need but having the option to go up is nice. Overall very very happy I stumbled across this little gem." —Kieley Sue

Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in five colors).

Check out this round-up for more sex toys that simulate oral sex!

It vibrates while you control the thrusts, combining the best parts of a clitoral stimulator, rabbit vibrator, and G-spot toy all in one, with two individually controlled motors that both have five vibration speeds and five modes for limitless combinations. TBH, I'm still not exactly sure how to describe this toy but it looks...awesome, and you should definitely try it out and then leave a review.

Promising review: "This thing is a dream. I was intimidated by it because it looks crazy, but it's super pliable and the silicone is the best texture. It works exactly as advertised. I love that the two vibrating areas are individually controllable because if you want to get done quick, you can use both, but if you want to stretch the whole event out, you can set the internal part to vibrate and just use the pressure of the external part. I own a lot of toys, and this one has become a fast favorite." —Wally

Get it from Babeland for $150 (available in pink and black) or Amazon for $138.98 (available in pink and purple).

If this one surprised you, don't miss this round-up of weird sex toys that work really well.

Supple, body-safe silicone offers a waterproof exterior and a flared base helps the plug stay put.

Promising review: "We have had a great time with this. I bought the largest and it took a bit to get used to it. We are a couple of states away from each other and he has had a great time setting me off while I’m at work or doing things around home. The vibration is very intense at the highest setting and at the lowest just keeps you on edge. Being made of the material that it is, you have to keep it clean and let it air out, so it doesn't smell if you get any fecal matter on it. Definitely recommend!" —JayyDee

Get it from Amazon for $89+ (available in four sizes).

At 7.6 inches long and 1.5 inches wide (at the largest point), this vibrator sets itself apart with 10 unique vibration modes.

Promising reviews: "I am so glad I purchased this to add to my collection, this toy is super soft and I love that it is flexible and ribbed for pleasure. It is very quiet but also powerful. I love that each mode has a different color so you can just memorize your favorite color setting, no more counting how many times to click it to get to your favorites anymore. It is a great length and thickness, just right to get the job done ;)." —Laurin Sutton

"Wow, when my husband got this for me I didn't think it could do what it does for me. It hits my G-spot so good I squirt every time, back to back. Even after my husband used it on me it make the sex even better." —Seth&nikki

Get it from Amazon for $36.98 (available teal and purple).

This new and improved suction vibrator by Womanizer boasts 14 intensity levels, an autopilot function that makes sure things never get too predictable during use, Smart Silence technology to make sure it's only making noise when touching the body / skin and it's waterproof. *exhale* So yeah, just click *add to cart*.

Promising review: "Good … Lord. The Smart Silence function is very clever, but utterly redundant because there is no way in hell you’ll be quiet using this! The intensity settings and autopilot are fab, the highest setting practically sucked an orgasm out, and I love that there are two different attachment sizes. I charged it yesterday and got to know it this morning, and I’m currently at #8 since this morning." —Anonymous

Get it from Womanizer (available in five colors) or Amazon for $199 (available in three colors).

And if you really want to splurge, here's a list of even more sex toys over $100 to consider.

Yes, it's waterproof, so go ahead and play with it in the shower.

Promising review: "I had been skeptical and honestly nervous to purchase a toy for a long time. Not sure why... I regret not buying this years ago. Cleanup can be tricky. Yes you can just shoot water thru it via a faucet, but as you know, our sauce tends to thicken when water hits it. So even after a good while of cleaning, I was still getting 'bits' out. Also, I don't know if this could handle a larger fella. I'm textbook average and it really, really took a good push to go in. But once in, great googly moogly... feels extremely real, a little tight but that's absolutely not a bad thing. The suction gets a little intense, you can unscrew the back plate to allow for air flow, but be warned if you lubed it up good, you're gonna drip out the end. I had seen some users mention warming it up, that sounds nice. Personally, mine was quite cold at the time and that didn't feel bad at all. I immediately called my friends and sent share links for them to check it out. Cannot believe I went so long without getting something like this. My only fear, is I start purchasing other toys and they'll never compare. This thing really slaps." —Levi Burns

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in four colors).

Want more? Definitely peruse this round-up of sex toys specifically for penises!

Promising reviews: "I was a newbie when I bought this and didn't know what to expect. But boy, after the first time I used it, I was hooked. It made my whole body quiver." —Alyssa Carpinelli

"I bought it for my husband and me to try out in bed. I didn't think it would be so powerful to make me squirt within seconds! 🤤 My husband even said his balls are numb from how powerful it is LMAO! 🤣 Literally had to place a pillow over my face from screaming out in pleasure and waking the whole neighborhood LOL." —Cheyanne

Get it from Amazon for $16.95+ (available in eight colors).

Promising review: "This is a fantastic vibrating male toy. It is very easy to use and gives great sensations. It is very versatile as it can be used wet or dry, with a partner or solo, and it can be used without an erection.

"For me, it's my new favorite toy. Since the Pulse can be used with or without lube, I first tried it dry. I found that unit stayed in place so I was able to watch porn and stay at the height of arousal for any length of time. When using it dry and with a slight movement it rubs the frenulum and gently pulls the skin on the shaft, creating a very pleasurable experience for me. Not to mention that the cleanup was very easy. When using it with lube the sensations are much more varied and The Pulse can create a wide array of sensations. It is very easy to hold on to even with lube everywhere.

"I tested it with a partner, where I was lying on my back with The Pulse on my shaft and had my partner straddle me. She felt the vibrations and was able to enjoy the vibrator for as long as she wanted, all the time I was hard and happy.

"One nice feature is that you can use The Pulse without an erection. Since the unit wraps around the shaft, you don't have to insert it like a traditional masturbation sleeve. The crescendo to orgasm is different when I use a vibrating toy. A feeling I hope all penises get to experience. The overall size is very small and the charger uses a simple USB power supply so it is very easy to chart and no bulky charging plugs." —Jack

Get it from Early to Bed or Amazon for $99.

Early to Bed is a Chicago-based, queer- and woman-run retail sex boutique committed to providing an inclusive shopping experience.

Promising reviews: "My wife and I really love this purchase! Great for double PIV. Great for either partner cause, well, it vibrates. Also great for using along with any other form of fun as well!" —Frank and Michelle

"I love this product. I have used it probably 10 times so far and have yet to have to charge it because it makes me finish so fast! I have had many other toys and thus is by far my favorite." —Megan

Get it from Amazon for $29.98.

BTW, this is from BuzzFeed's Goodful Wellness collection! This plug is designed for anal use, waterproof, and created with body-safe silicone, so we recommend using a hybrid lubricant for anal play.

Get it from Hustler Hollywood or Goodful Wellness for $20.

Promising reviews: "I used to take testosterone and since then I chafe really quickly, regardless of lube. Stellar is so smooth that I don't have this issue! I don't need as much lube and it's so comfortable, not to mention delicious. The curved shape of the insertion end is perfect and the other side makes a really nice handle. Good for partner or solo play!" —Jules L.

"Worth the purchase, so pretty, and perfect for quarantine times. As an NB person, I especially love the abstract shape and design. Enjoy!" —P R.

Get it from Unbound or Amazon for $38.

Promising reviews: "I'm on my second Sona and I can't live without it! I've tried with and without the cruise function, and I found I prefer it without, since the cruise-less version is quieter, and often the cruise will engage when I want greater stimulation in the moment, but my actual orgasm will suffer in strength. Regardless, would DEFINITELY recommend this to anyone (and I have)!" —Janie339

"Amazing — the only one I need! It's not totally quiet but is perfect for use in the shower when you have a little background noise!" —saramk

Get it from Lelo for $98.10 or Amazon for $99.99 (originally $109 and available in three colors).
