Sure, technology has brought us things like remote work, smartwatches, and TikTok, but it's also introduced a whole new world of vibrators. With these new toys come a variety of sensations and even types of orgasms [1] that you not only may never have experienced but also may not have known existed.
"Vibrators may seem like one-trick ponies where you've seen them all if you've seen one — like, they vibrate, what more do you need to know? But vibrators are constantly being updated with features and unique innovation," says Megan Stubbs, EdD, ACS, sexual wellness, relationship, body image expert, and author of Playing Without a Partner: A Singles' Guide to Sex, Dating, and Happiness [2]. "It's worth taking a look at new vibrators to see If there is anything that meets your specific wish list of must-haves."
While this certainly isn't a complete guide to all the best vibrators out there, it's a list of the best and most notable for 2022. And luckily, designers are already hard at work, creating even more exciting new pleasure products that will soon grace nightstands everywhere. (Take Lora DiCarlo, for example, which already has their next creation, Curva [3], ready for pre-order — and it looks deliciously fantastic.) But for now, here are the best vibrators in 2022.
Best Bullet Vibrator: Satisfyer Ultra Power Bullet 8
If there's one thing every vibrator enthusiast should have on them at all times, it's a bullet vibrator. Small, powerful, and ready to get you (or your partner) off in no time, bullet vibes are so discreet that they can easily be tucked into a pocket (or a suitcase [4]), and no one will ever know you're rearing to go — and thanks to the Connect App [5], you can enjoy playing with this in the bedroom or even across the globe. As Stubbs points out, for those in long-distance relationships [6]
, these types of sex toy options aren't just intriguing, but also a great way to stay and feel connected to your partner. Satisfyer [7], which originally made its name as a less-expensive version of the ever-popular suction toys, has joined the bullet vibe club with the Ultra Power Bullet 8 [8] ($58). It has 12 vibration programs, is waterproof, and easily connects to the Satisfyer app if you and your partner want to get creative with it.
Best All-Over Vibrator: Bloomi Massage Clitoral and Body Vibrator
Want a vibrator that's perfectly shaped to stimulate everywhere? In March, Bloomi [9] introduced its Massage Clitoral and Body Vibrator [10] ($35) that literally fits in the palm of your hand. The shape and size allow this product to stimulate any and every external part of the body that wants to enjoy the soft rumbles of vibration. Made of waterproof medical-grade silicone, the three vibration patterns are all you need to delight in broad or targeted stimulation.
Best Waterproof Wand Vibrator: Dame Com
Because there's no such thing as too many wand vibrators, Dame's [11] latest creation, Com [12] ($99), has taken the classic wand and given it a curved handle, making it easier to hold than some of the other wand vibrators out there. Long gone are the days of worrying about getting a cramp in your wrist or hand as you bring yourself to orgasmic bliss. With this medical-grade silicone vibrator that's 100-percent waterproof, after a long day, only Com and a bubble bath [13] will do.
Best Rabbit Vibrator: Jimmyjane Reflexx Rabbit 1
One of the most exciting innovations to hit the sex toy industry in the last couple of years is the ability for devices to warm up — and the Jimmyjane Reflexx Rabbit 1 [14] ($150) does exactly that with its "warming mode." Although there's nothing wrong with room-temperature silicone, the coziness of a vibrator that heats up while using it puts this super flexible rabbit in a category all its own.
"Experimenting with temperature play [15] has always been an exciting way to spice up either solo or partner play," says Stubbs. "With innovation that allows vibrators and dildos to heat up with a touch of a button makes exploring different temperatures even easier."
Fully charged, you can get 45 minutes out of the Reflexx Rabbit 1 and, like the traditional rabbit, it has clitoral and shaft motors to make sure you get buzzed in all the right places.
Best G-Spot Vibrator: Le Wand Gee
When it comes to re-inventing the vibrator and making it even better every time, look no further than Le Wand [16]. In 2022, Le Wand dropped four new vibrators and all are simply wonderful in their own ways. Le Wand Gee [17] ($160) really sets itself apart when it comes to G-spot stimulation. In fact, the bulbous head is just the right size and at just the right angle to make a squirter out of anyone.
Best Remote Vibrator: ZALO AYA Wearable Vibrator
Like Le Wand, ZALO [18] also dropped a few new sex toys in 2022 and the one that really stands out is AYA [19] ($99). Wearable, insertable, and with a remote control so you can take your good time out and about, this vibrator lets you customise intensity as well as vibration patterns. Even if you're not the sort of person who wants to indulge in discreet, public fun (an orgasm while drinking a martini at the bar, anyone?), you can still have a good time wearing the vibrator at home with your partner at the remote-control helm right next to you.
Best Suction Vibrator: LELO Enigma
Looking like something that's not of this world, LELO Enigma [20] ($149, originally $199) is a dual stimulation massager that boasts the ability to "absorb sonic waves and transmit them back into your clitoris for a deeper but gentler sensation." How does it do such a thing? SenSonic technology, that's how.
"Maybe you've tried a buzzy vibe," says Stubbs, "but you think that deep rumble might fit the bill better." If you're looking for that deep rumble, Enigma is the vibrator to try. There's no end to the orgasms with this massager.
Best Big Wand Vibrator: Le Wand Feel My Power 2022 Special Edition
While bullet vibes are pocket-sized, Le Wand Feel My Power 2022 Special Edition [21] ($99, originally $225) is the exact opposite — to say it's the size of an adult person's forearm is not an exaggeration. Covered in powerful, feminist artwork by illustrator Kelly Marcelle Malka [22]
, this wand vibrator delivers for up to three hours and with 10 intensity levels that will blow the minds of anyone who picks it up.
Best Partner Vibrator: Unbound Clutch
Although it sold out within a couple of days of its launch, the Unbound Clutch [23] ($98) is finally back in stock. This dual-stimulation rabbit vibrator has an ergonomic triangular handle so whether you're using it solo or with a partner [24], you get the right angle every time. What's so great about Clutch is that the combo of intensities and vibration patterns of both motors gives you a grand total of 120 settings to choose from when you're looking to take arousal to new heights. That's right: 120.
Best Clit Vibrator: Liquid Silicone Pixies Exciter
With its eyebrow-raising appearance, the Liquid Silicone Pixies Exciter [25] ($56) might give one pause before picking it up and purchasing it. But what makes this vibrator so unique is the flexible head that allows for more surface coverage — something that those who have sensitive vulvas are likely to prefer over more centralized stimulation. The 10 incremental speeds let you reach the exact intensity you want, little by little. Remember: slow and steady wins the race.
