A sexual wellbeing expert has tested 67 vibrators to find the best bullets, rabbits, and wands, with options for every budget and preference.
The expert, a multi-award-winning writer and broadcaster with more than two decades of experience in sexual wellbeing, evaluated each toy for body-safe materials, ease of use, battery life, power, and comfort. Products made from porous jellies or plastics containing phthalates were discounted.
Top Picks at a Glance
The best bullet vibrator overall is the We-Vibe Tango X, praised for its deep, rumbly vibrations. The best rabbit is the Je Joue Hera Flex, which features a flexible, poseable design. The Doxy Die Cast Max Plug-In takes the top spot for wands, offering intense mains-powered stimulation.
Other notable mentions include the Lovense Ambi for innovation, the Love Not War Maya for sustainability, and the Rocks Off RO-90 as a budget-friendly bullet option.
How the Vibrators Were Tested
At least 20 toys were tested in each category, with 67 tested in total. The expert considered whether each device lived up to its manufacturer's claims, how easy it was to position and control, and how attractive, adaptable, powerful, and comfortable it was.
The expert noted that deciding on the "best" vibrator is highly subjective and aimed to explain how different items might suit different people. Useful questions for buyers include whether they prefer gentle or potent vibrations, what styles of touch delight them, and whether they want external or internal stimulation.
Can Vibrators Decrease Sensitivity?
The expert reassured that using vibrators will not cause nerve damage to the genitals. However, prolonged use of high-strength models may condition the body to intense stimulation, making gentler touch feel less effective. Solutions include taking a break from vibrators, experimenting with softer speeds, and using lubricant.
Vibrators can also be incorporated into partnered sex to enhance shared experiences, acting as complementary tools rather than replacements for intimacy.
What to Do With Old Toys
Research conducted in 2025 by Back Market revealed that 15% of people keep old and broken sex toys indefinitely because they are embarrassed to throw them away. One in three disposes of them in the household bin, even though items with batteries, plugs, or charging ports can be recycled.
To recycle old vibrators, users can visit Recycle Your Electricals, enter their postcode, and select "Vibrator" from the drop-down menu. Some councils will collect the items directly from the door.
