Featured in this article
Yes, it really is my job to test the latest sex tech to crown the very best in every category — from the best vibrators to top-tier wands and clit suckers worth recommending to a friend. Yep, over the past three-ish years, I've taken more than 200 teasers, from the likes of LELO, Lovehoney, the Smile Makers Collection and Tenga, to bed to see which are really worth the investment.
What do I consider, then, when handing out my ‘best in show’ rosettes? Well she's got to be pretty if she's going to decorate my bedside for the foreseeable. Then I focus on power, variation in terms of vibration patterns and speeds and, of course, price point.
A reminder that masturbation and orgasms come with a host of benefits: better sleep, lower stress, boosted confidence, and yes, that post-glow skin. So, if you're looking to take your wellness seriously in 2026, this is the device you need to add to your roster.
Okay, no more edging. Let’s dive straight into the best vibrators worth your investment in 2026. And, for those seeking answers to common sex toy FAQs, we've consulted industry experts for you too. So, read on for a rundown of the best beginner-friendly bullet vibrators, rabbit vibrators, and clit vibrators.
How I test the best vibrators:
We take our experimentation process very seriously here at Glamour. Rest assured, this guide wasn’t built on internet hearsay or anonymous reviews. Our in-house scientists — otherwise known as members of the Glamour team and their willing partners — have personally tested an array of clit vibrators, couples' sex toys and G-spot vibrators.
Each tester got up close and personal with their assigned toys for at least a week before submitting feedback based on the following criteria:
- Ease of use — Could they navigate the controls without reading the manual cover to cover?
- Orgasm quality — Did it deliver satisfying sensations or just leave them feeling... numb?
- Design — Was it ergonomic, comfortable to hold, and fit for purpose?
- Settings — Was there enough variety or, better yet, any new vibration patterns to write home about?
- Volume — Could it pass as a quiet vibrator? (Read: quieter than your electric toothbrush?)
- Waterproof — Did it perform just as well in the bath or shower?
My sample group included everyone from daily toy users to complete beginners, spanning a range of genders and sexualities. All testers, aged 25 to 40, tried their toys both solo and with partners — always with water-based lube — before submitting their often anonymous, and always honest, reviews.
Why you can trust me: Sophie Donovan
I've been reviewing sexual wellness products, including sex toys, lubricant, condoms and sex games, for the past two years — one year in a previous job, and for 14 months at Glamour. I've reviewed vibrators across all categories, including wand vibrators, clit suckers and remote-control vibrators, and from a wide selection of brands, including LELO, Lovehoney, Ann Summers and Smile Makers Collection. During that time, I've seen countless trends come and go, including the end of our years-long obsession with the Rose Sex Toy and a shift to sex tech powered by AI.
To ensure I am an authority on sexual wellness, I regularly attend press days, read the latest journals, interview countless sexual wellness experts and brand founders, as well as personally review as many new launches as possible. As such, I clued up more the best emerging brands, new releases and which products are worth your money way more than your average sex toy user.
While I am not a beginner, I consider this perspective, regularly asking friends and (willing) colleagues for their thoughts. I should mention that I am heterosexual and regularly use sex toys with my male-identifying partner. I personally prefer clitoral or dual-stimulation over G-spot play, however am open to reviewing all sex toy types in the name of research.

I’ve spent over three years diving deep into all things sex and relationships — and testing the best tools to get you there. From vibrators and lubricants to condoms and sex apps, I’ve tried, reviewed and recommended products designed to help you find what truly works for you. I’ve explored every category of vibrator, from bullet vibrators and clit suckers to remote-controlled toys, across brands like LELO, SheSpot, Smile Makers, and Lovehoney.
The sexual wellness space is evolving fast — from AI entering the bedroom to a full-blown lube revolution — and I make it my mission to stay on top of every twist and turn. That means attending press events, keeping up with the latest research, constantly updating my bedside drawer, and speaking to leading sex experts and brand founders. I also personally test as many new launches as possible, so I’m far more clued up on the latest brands, innovations, and products worth your money than most of my friends.
Despite that experience, I always make sure to consider beginner users as well as those who are more advanced, drawing on feedback from friends and online reviews to get the full picture. As a bisexual woman, I also take different gendered partners into account when forming my verdicts.

Best vibrators FAQs, answered:
Is it normal to use a vibrator regularly?
First question: What even is normal? Any expert will tell you that libido, desire, preferred stimulation, and fantasy are deeply personal, and no two people are wired the same. Sure, plenty of us enjoy similar things — there’s a reason there are about 47 variations of missionary — but that doesn’t mean you’re ‘wrong’ for craving or enjoying something different.
When it comes to sex toys, they simply deliver sensations and speeds that the human tongue, fingers, or genitals can’t. No shade, just science.
Can I use a vibrator with a partner?
Absolutely. Whether you’re in the mood for a little mutual masturbation — focusing on your own pleasure while getting a front-row seat to your partner’s — or feeling playful enough to let them take control, guiding the vibrations and suction where they think you’ll enjoy it most, using sex toys as a couple is a surefire way to keep your sex life fresh, fun, and full of surprises.
What if a vibrator feels too intense?
Marshall suggests slowing things down: “Start on the lowest setting and explore how each mode feels as you cycle through; pleasure isn’t a race.” Be the tortoise, not the hare.
And don’t be afraid to experiment beyond your usual hotspots. Try tracing the vibrator along your arms, legs, and stomach first. Then, when you’re ready, move to more sensitive areas — your nipples, and finally, well… downtown.
Final tip: don't forget lubrication! Make sure it's water-based lube to protect your best vibrators.
