The 20 Best Cheap Vibrators Under $20
Considering how intense the vibrations are, many people are unlikely to want to use it for more than 20 minutes straight regardless. Clitoral vibrators are popular because stimulating the clitoris often plays a key role in pleasure. This works for solo stimulation, or for those who are looking to achieve more intense pleasure during sex with a partner.
However, the term is also sometimes used more broadly to refer to small handheld vibrators in general. At $136, this vibrator doesn’t exactly deserve the title of a budget-friendly sex toy. But considering that the Vibrato can be used as a wand vibe, dildo, and G-spot stimulator vibrators, it certainly earns its keep as a high-value bedside must-have. The clean design and rose gold accents emphasised the fact that this is a quality toy.
The idea is that you can put it in between your labia so it has direct access to your clitoris, use its tiny arms to keep it there, then continue sans hands. For $105, it’s supposed to make that elusive penis-in-vagina orgasm more attainable without getting in the way of any actual sex-having. While she was having great partnered sex, many of her peers were not. She has since written two more books about sexual pleasure for older adults and has reviewed over 100 sex toys from the senior perspective.
The study mentioned above from Indiana University does bolster this fact and notes that side effects are rare, and those that do occur don’t tend to last. Over 70 percent of respondents said they experienced no negative side effects from vibrator use, with 3 percent reporting pain. We can’t say for sure if this was from incorrect use or underlying medical conditions, of course, but both those factors definitely can contribute to negative side effects from vibrator use. Womanizer’s Vibe is completely noiseless making it perfect for travel or busy parents who don’t want their activities to be known to the rest of the house.
Other nice-to-haves include an intuitive button display, a travel lock, and a fully waterproof design (shower sex, anyone?). “If you’re looking for a versatile vibe that can be used on almost all body parts, the Tango X is the ideal option,” according to O’Reilly. It has seven vibration modes, eight intensity levels, and is super easy to use.

She/they are passionate about normalizing healthy discussions of sexuality in everyday life. The Evolved Tongue Tied is our favorite of the “tongue” vibrators we’ve tested. While they’re not as pinpointed as those from the Lelo Dot, we did find that this vibrator’s flickering tongue (measuring about 1 inch long and 0.25 inches wide at the tip) offers powerful, focused sensations.
A whisper-quiet, lay-on vibrator, the rumbly Womanizer Vibe is uniquely curved to cup your entire vulva.. You can use the broad side’s edges or the pointed tip to directly target your clitoris, Shamyra Howard, PhD, CST, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker and AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. “Its noiseless feature makes it quieter than many other vibes, which allows you to stay focused on the many intense sensations,” she says.
For instance, one of the options we’re going to discuss can actually serve double-duty as both a sex toy and a massager for relieving aches and pains in the rest of your body. And, if you happen to live in a space where some might find (or deliberately going snooping for) your sex toys, it can help to use things that are innocuous, everyday items. In all of the reviews of the Magic Wand we read while researching this article (and we read a lot), the feature that kept popping up was power. The Magic Wand Rechargeable is one of the most powerful clitoral vibrators on the market with a top power level of 6300 vibrations per minute. This is what creates the intense “deep, rumbly” vibrations the Magic Wand is famous for.
