The 20 Best Discreet & Quiet Sex Toys for a Crowded House

A combo of vibration and “tongue” licking (lube up for a realistic glide) targets your clit for maximum orgasming power, and you can also hold it against a male partner’s penis during a blowjob to really turn up the heat. You can also feel comfortable knowing your privacy is top of mind — it features Smart Silence Technology, meaning your toy only turns on when it touches your skin. In the sonic sphere, theConnaisseur MJ exhibits many classic spruce-and-mahogany characteristics.

Luckily, I have a few tips and tricks to help you narrow things down. “Lelo’s Nea 3 is the perfect vibrator for someone who wants discreet, powerful, external stimulation,” says sex therapist Leigh Noren. Indeed, it looks more like an objet d’art than a sex toy, and is small enough to fit in pretty much any bag or pocket, so it’s a great pick for those who need discretion. Its gently curved shape allows it to slot neatly between bodies during sex. While it’s designed mainly for clitoral use, you can also try this one on the nipples, labia, balls, taint, or frenulum.

But we do not think this toy is the best pick for solo clitoral play (unless you prefer “riding” or grinding against a vibrator while lying face down, as opposed to holding it in place with your hand). We do think this toy has great potential for use during partnered intercourse, where the person with the vulva is on top. We decided to test the Fun Factory Volta on the recommendation of esteemed sex-toy blogger Epiphora, who gave it a glowing review and selected it as one of the best sex toys of 2018.

Below, shop top-rated, expert-recommended, and staffer-tested options from brands like Lelo, Dame, We-Vibe, and more. Thirdly, when you get your new vibrator, test its vibration strength on the tip of your nose first. You should feel it tickling your nostrils and sinuses, giving you an idea of how deep into your genital tissue it can stimulate. Remember, about 90 percent of the clitoris can’t be stimulated directly because it’s under the skin, so deep vibes are important.

It’s versatile, waterproof and easy, giving you the power trip you need for full-body relaxation. Customers especially like the smoothness of the medical-grade silicone body. The big difference between this sex toy and other clitoral suction toys is the larger size mouth. According to the people at Lelo, this means the “vibrations are spread with equal intensity across the whole clitoris, not just in its centre, which leads to a sensual, slow build-up of orgasm”. This vibrator is battery-operated, so not rechargeable, but plenty of user reviews say it has plenty of power.

But despite its general reliability, a larger wand vibrator doesn’t necessarily scream discreet. This wand in particular tends to be louder, and definitely requires more real estate in your nightstand drawer. As with everything else when it comes to sex, what makes a good vibrator relies a lot on a single factor — your own preferences.

With a little bit of maneuvering, it is possible to use the Pulse II hands-free, which could be a big benefit for some men. The Pulse II can also create a feeling of togetherness and shared pleasure for couples who aren’t able to have intercourse. Neither of us had ever seen a toy that claimed it could be used flaccid or erect, and I had assumed this was a bizarre marketing angle. In reality, the Pulse II’s ability to be used while flaccid ended up being my tester’s favorite feature. I’m obviously not personally experienced in the ways of male masturbation, but my tester shared that the Pulse II did away with that awkward stage of jerking off when you’re trying to get hard enough to do the deed. Instead of that pulling-at-putty type of feeling, you can simply relax and let the Pulse II do all the work.

Honestly, finding a good vibrator to use during intercourse is harder than you’d think. Too small, and you or your partner might have trouble holding on to it in the heat of the moment. From its name to its design, the Maude Vibe exudes cool-girl energy — it has that perfect mix of seeming effortlessness while also being entirely capable and impressive. Customers appreciate the massager’s variety of modes that cater to different needs. If budget is no object, then our winning Womanizer Clitoral Suction Toy is easy to use , effective and discreet. Described as “one of the best rabbits I have ever tried” by one tester, it’s no wonder the Glow Bunny scored so highly in our tests.

The original rabbit hopped onto the scene in the mid-1990s, popularised by its appearance in the hit TV show Sex and the City, they’ve been top-sellers ever since. At $109, it’s oddly more expensive than the Vesper 2, but no one ever said luxury was cheap. It’s USB-C rechargeable (with a proprietary plug on one end), whisper-quiet viberator, even on turbo mode, and comes in silver, rose gold, black, and 24-karat gold plating, with a matching adjustable 26-inch chain. At the time, the world had never seen anything like this vibrator necklace, and because of its originality, it garnered fans worldwide. Patented by Martin Engineering, Vibrolator® vibrators are the original ball vibrators and still provide a reliable and efficient solution to flow problems. “No matter what, for a number of toys, the best and easiest use involves at least a couple of drops of lubricant for comfort,” says Fulbright.

The only exception is the portion in the middle that connects both ends, which is made from ABS plastic (also a non-porous, body-safe material). Keep scrolling for our full reviews of the best sex toys for couples, but here they are in one handy grab-and-go list, so you can bag those bedroom brownie points. I thought maybe it was just me, but three sex experts I spoke to for this article cited it as their favorite, too.
