Manual masturbation is great, but we can all use an extra hand (or sex toy) sometimes. According to a survey about sex toy ownership in the U.S., nearly 80% of women over the age of 18 own a sex toy. Vibrators are by far the most common toys to own (78%), followed by dildos (60%) and anal toys (16%). Of course, these toys are awesome for anyone with a vagina and vulva – not just women!
This guide will go over these categories of sex toys for vulva owners, and then some! Whether you’re looking for the best vibrator, G-spot stimulation, or even a sex toy that mimics oral sex – we’ve got it all. Help us close the orgasm gap, one pleasure maker at a time.
*Please note that we use the phrase “sex toys for women” as often indicated by pop culture. However, these products are designed for everyone with a vulva or vagina (we’ve even seen people with penises get creative with the toys), regardless of their identity.
Clitoral Stimulation
Power to the clit! The overwhelming majority of women (99%!) report orgasming from clitoral stimulation during masturbation, either alone or coupled with penetration. Did you know that the visible part of the clitoris shows only the tip of the entire sexual organ? That’s why these toys are designed to stimulate much more of the clitoris compared to standard clitoral vibrators.
1. SONA 2 Cruise
Chances are, if you’ve done your research on suction toys, you’ve probably heard about the SONA line of clitoral stimulators. It’s the most popular item by a landslide. Unlike other toys that stimulate the surface of the clitoris, SONA sends sonic waves deep into the clitoris to stimulate 75% more of it. If you read the reviews on it, many people also say it made them squirt for the first time – that’s some intense orgasms! You can check out the differences between the first and second generation here, and check out what Cruise Control technology is here.
Rating: 4.9/5
Defining Features: Cruise Control technology saves overall power to be unleashed when you’re pressing the toy hardest against your body for maximum pleasure.
Customer Reviews: “It’s unlike anything else I’ve seen on the market and really uncovers new sensations. It was fun learning about a part of my body I thought I’d explored thoroughly for decades. It was like the awesomest cunnilingus + vibrating. I had multiple deeply satisfying orgasms within moments of using it, and recommend it to every person with a clitoris! I wish there was a version for men (save me on the lockjaw, lol).”

2. SILA
SILA is dedicated to the warm-up and steady pace of pleasure. When there’s no rush to reach orgasm, why not edge yourself to an intense and long-lasting climax? SILA does this by offering a wide range of vibration intensities, from very soft pulsing to incredible power. It also has a larger mouth to encompass not only the entire clitoris but also the surrounding erogenous zones like the labia and other areas of the vulva. If you’re more of the type to light some candles, slip into something sexy, and enjoy a night in than hit the town, this clitoral vibrator was made with you in mind.
Rating: 4.6/5
Defining Features: A wide array of intensities for buildable pleasure and edging, all while being whisper-quiet for extra stealthiness.
Customer Review: “SILA is the home companion I’ve been hoping to find. Cutting to the chase, SILA lives up to any and all hype: it’s powerful but ever so adjustable, quiet and discreet, easy to handle, and best of all so, so, effective. From gentle stimulation to mind-blowing orgasms, Sila has taken me wherever I’m in the mood to go. Bravo, Sila!”

3. SMART WAND
If you’re looking for a multi-purpose massage wand that nobody would ever suspect was designed for sexual purposes, the SMART WAND is the queen of all massagers. Not only does this toy vibrate deep for ultimate relaxation, but it’s also incredibly powerful for those who know they can handle it. It’s cordless so you don’t have to worry about the hassle of having a plug nearby, plus the USB rechargeable battery gives you 2 hours of exploration with this magic wand. It comes in two sizes, SMART WAND Medium and SMART WAND Large. The second generation was also recently launched with a few added features including 10 different vibration settings.
Rating: 4.7/5
Defining Features: A body massager that gives you powerful and reliable vibrations that double for pleasure and pain relief.
Customer Reviews: “Purchased this (in black) as a muscle massager. The vibrations are powerful and it’s discreet and fits very nicely in my purse for when you’re on the go and need a simple neck massage while sitting in traffic or in the office. As a pleasure object, well…it doesn’t disappoint. The vibrations are those that we all know and love, the feel is smooth as silk, and for me, I found that it fits perfectly in between the labia if you should so choose to rub up against it cowgirl style, in the shower (oooof!) alone or with company, it will get you there!”

6. SORAYA Wave
We consider the SORAYA Wave as a perfect example of a sex toy that satisfies both external and internal stimulation. Its diversity is just one of the reasons it’s been a top 3 seller month after month. Not only does this rabbit vibrator contain a smaller, flexible arm and a large shaft to explore the multiple vibration patterns, but it also contains wave technology. What does this mean? The two arms can also move towards each other in a “come hither” pinching motion to create tantalizing G-spot stimulation. Take a dive into the SORAYA WAVE for maximum pleasure.
Rating: 4.9/5
Defining Features: This dual vibrator gives you G-spot and clitoral stimulation for a wonderfully intense orgasm.

You will not be sorry. I still have not been able to last through more than 2 settings, I love this thing.”
Full Price $249
Internal Stimulation
Another popular form of stimulation for vaginas and vulvas is vaginal or internal stimulation. However, many women prefer the option of a blended orgasm, so all of our internal toys also contain vibration that can be used externally on the clitoris or erogenous zones for dual stimulation. If you prefer stimulation that mimics a phallic movement or know that your sweet spots are internal, check out the following toys.
7. INA 2
Another great rabbit vibrator is the INA 2, which has both a thicker shaft and a larger arm for internal and external stimulation. Its shape is quite unique to a rabbit vibrator because the shaft is curved to hit the inner wall of the vagina. It’s also 100% waterproof so you can have fun in the bath or shower. To check out more comparisons between INA 2 and SORAYA 2, click here.
Rating: 4.3/5
Defining Features: Shaped like a shaft with a little thumb on the side, this toy guarantees double joy – clitoral and G-spot stimulation.
Customer Reviews: “I purchased this to add some variety into the bedroom and also to introduce my wife to a g-spot orgasm. She likes it a lot and likes it when I use it on her. It’s very good quality, well made and works well. The power setting range is good…very low to very intense. She will have a g-spot orgasm after it’s inside her for a few minutes, then want me to get inside her for another orgasm. It’s definitely enhanced our intimate time. No complaints here!”

8. GIGI 2
A tip crafted to perfection, GIGI 2 is one of the best female vibrators for internal stimulation that hits all the sweet spots. It may appear small compared to some of our other vibrators, but it’s the perfect length for stimulating the internal erogenous zone commonly known as the G-spot. Although technically a G-spot vibrator, the versatile GIGI 2 can also be used to stimulate both clitoris and other erogenous zones like the nipples and anus.

Customer Reviews: Will you be the first to hop on the ENIGMA Cruise and leave a review?
Anal Stimulation
Since these toys are designed with functionality in mind, almost all of the internal stimulators can be used as an anal vibrator as well. Please just remember to wash them thoroughly or use toy cleaner before switching stimulation zones! Another very, VERY important reminder is to always use lube or personal moisturizer when exploring anal play, especially if you’re new to it. Let go of any stigmas and enjoy the art and satisfaction of a perineal sponge massage.
