How to Clean a Vibrator and Other Sex Toys Safely

In addition to testing out and rounding up the best products, she also covers deals for Mashable, paying an especially obsessive amount of attention to Apple deals and prices. That knowledge comes in handy when she’s covering shopping holidays like Prime Day and Black Friday, which she’s now done for three years at Mashable. To be completely upfront with you, we should share that the Poet technically isn’t a vibrator in the traditional sense of the word. Like many other members of its clit stimulating family, this toy actually uses air pulsation, and not vibrations, to give those oh-so-good sensations.

It’s almost enough to make you think that older people have lost their interest in sex, which is a generalization that’s simply not true. Regardless of my experience, I applaud SnailVibe for creating an innovative toy with the trimmings — like multiple motors and the case. The vibrator is 9.4 inches long in total (a bit shorter than an average forearm), and has an insertable length of 1.4 to 5.5 inches, the latter of which is about the average penis size. Increase the intensity by pressing the + button, and switch up the kind of vibration by pressing the S button.

“Vibrators with various settings and modes of stimulation allow you to explore a range of sensations to discover what feels best,” she says. “Versatile options are also ideal if you enjoy switching between different types of stimulation or want a toy that can be used in different ways , whether during solo or partnered play,” she adds. The Lush 3’s curved design provides simultaneous internal and external stimulation, with the egg vibrator designed to target the G-spot while a smaller vibrating pebble sits on the clitoris. Testers loved that the base is compatible with all Love Not War vibe heads – ideal when you can’t decide what you’re in the mood for – and they rated the sleek vibrator, waterproof design, long-lasting battery and handy travel-lock feature.

I like to drape mine over the head of a wand vibrator when I’m feeling too sensitive for direct contact since it softens the sensations to a comfortable level without dulling them too much. You want this to be for both of you, something special that you can share. Offer to bring your partner along to the store or to shop online with you. It might relax them to see that there are so many options for sex toys, as well as not-at-all scary places to shop for them.

The biggest compliment I can offer the Connaisseur MJ is the considerable time I spent with it in a meditative musical state—thinking not about a review, just basking in its warm, sprightly resonance and inviting touch response. At $2,499, the Godin arguably offers more personality than a satin-finished instrument at the same price with a more famous name. It’s well built and feels like a guitar that’s in it for the long haul. And when it comes to tone and a pure playing experience, the Connaisseur MJ shines.
