Everyone's sexual preferences differ, so it makes sense that their vibrator choices would, too. You can choose a pleasure product for its size, intensity settings, shape, or even colour. Finding the perfect vibrator that checks all your boxes is important stuff. Another thing to consider when you're vibrator shopping is if you live with roommates or family or take your favourite vibrator with you everywhere. In that case, getting a quiet vibrator becomes pretty darn essential, too.
"We know that while a little noise [1] or oohing and aahing goes a long way in those intimate moments and nothing kills the vibe quite like the sound of a vacuum cleaner between your thighs," says Felicia Hershenhorn, CEO and founder sexual wellness brand Runi [2]. "A quiet vibrator is amazing for those moments when you do not want any distractions and just want to zone in on your pleasure. Vibrators allow people to become agents in their pursuit of pleasure, and from a mental health perspective this is paramount."
If you're looking for a new sex toy that won't shake the building off its foundation or have your roomies or neighbours banging on the bedroom wall during your next masturbation sesh [3], this list of quiet vibrators is for you. Whether you're looking for a bullet vibe, a rabbit, an underwear vibe to wear out and about, or something altogether, here are 10 quiet vibrators you'll love.
Best Quiet Affordable Vibrator: SKYN Wave
Although the SKYN brand may be synonymous with condoms, nowadays, they do so much more. Condoms brands have jumped onto the sex toy bandwagon, and the results are pretty groundbreaking: You can now get a vibrator at your local pharmacy [5] — something that wouldn't have been conceivable as little as 10 years ago.
To make sure sex toys stay within arm's reach of those who don't dare to hit up a sex toy shop, SKYN just launched a new line of toys and the one that gets the stamp of approval on the quiet front is Wave [6] (£29). This toy has the shape, texture, and 10 vibration modes to make your vulva feel like it's getting the royal treatment, but completely on the DL.
Best Quiet Rabbit Vibrator: Tracey Cox Supersex Powerful Rechargeable Rabbit Vibrator
Tracey Cox dropped some seriously exciting vibrators this year and the world is better for it. The Tracey Cox Supersex Powerful Rechargeable Rabbit Vibrator [7] (£65) delivers pure ecstasy, both internally and externally, making you one step closer to the elusive blended orgasm [8]. With 3 speeds and 7 patterns to choose from — Tracey Cox didn't name it "Supersex" for nothing.
Best Quiet Wand Vibrator: Amour by Je Joue
Je Joue didn't short-change vibrator fans this year when they launched Duet, then the Amour by Je Joue [9] (£50). Amour has a heart-shaped tip bullet that gives playful, fluttering sensations. It has five vibration speeds that are so quiet, even your partner won't wake up if you decide to squeeze in another orgasm before bed.
Best Quiet Bullet Vibrator: Naked Grapefruit First Base
The thing about bullet vibrators is they tend to cause a raucous. It's almost as if, in light of their small-yet-mightiness, they feel the need to show off and let people know they're there. But that's not the case with First Base [10] (£26): It has seven settings to get you off and each one is just as quiet as the last.
Best Quiet Beginner Vibrator: Unbound Pep
When it comes to smaller sex toys that are just as powerful as the big ones, Unbound excels. So, when they launched Pep [11] (£35) there was no surprise that this fits-in-the-palm-of-your-hand vibrator of five speeds and three patterns would be just as satisfying as their other creations. It's not only quiet AF, but for those who are new to vibrators and still trying to figure out what you like, it's an ideal beginner toy.
Best Quiet Clit Vibrator: Ann Summers The U Self Love Stimulator
While some vibrators are made to stimulate both internally and externally, The U Self Love Stimulator [12] (£100) is designed to "cradle" the clitoris with ripples of vibration that will send you to another planet — or at least make you feel like you're on another planet. If cradling your clit with silicone doesn't sound like your thing, the five levels of intensities and various patterns can be used to stimulate the vulva (or penis) in other ways. It's quiet enough to let yourself get creative as you want — as long as you keep yourself on whisper mode.
Best Pinpointed Clit Vibrator: ZALO Bess 2 Clitoral Massager
Yes, there's a lot going on here. It looks intimidating. But before you keep scrolling, know that the Bess 2 Clitoral Massager [13] (£143) might be exactly what you need to explore and awaken new parts of your sexuality. Not only do the multiple attachments offer external stimulation, but they also allow you to get experimental with internal stimulation too. Those are indeed anal beads, should you want to take a stab at anal play [14]. But the best part about Bess 2 isn't all the attachments, it's the whisper-quiet vibrations.
Best Quiet G-Spot Vibrator: Jimmyjane Reflexx Rabbit 2
At first glance, the Jimmyjane Reflexx Rabbit 2 [15] ($150) might have you scratching your head because, honestly, it doesn't look like your usual rabbit vibrator. But the iconic rabbit has been reinvented many times over and each time brings something new to the sex toy market — Jimmyjane's take on the classic is no different in that regard. Created to stimulate both the G-spot and clit at the same time while resting comfortably on your fingers, this quiet vibrator's dual motors are a delight. If that wasn't enough, it also warms up and has a travel lock.
Best Quiet Partner Vibrator: Organic Loven Leaf Spirit Plus
Small enough to be discrete, quiet enough to get the "whisper quiet" adjective attached to it, flexible for added extra comfort, and with a remote control for partner play, Leaf Spirit Plus [16] (£43) — which can easily be worn in any pair of undies — is the exhibitionist's dream vibrator. Of course, it can also be a dream vibrator for those who prefer to not take their orgasms on the road and stay at home instead.
Best Quiet Internal Vibrator: Le Wand XO
Yes, we have another Le Wand vibrator on the list and yes, this insertable, bulbous head for clitoral, G-spot, P-spot, and A-spot stimulation is both tantalising and quiet. Rechargeable, waterproof, and with a travel lock so you can take it anywhere, Le Wand XO [17] (£147) is a must for anyone who loves decadence in their sex toy collection.
