Chances are, somewhere along the line you bought your first vibrator. It was likely something simple (and possibly discreet, especially if you were living in a share house or worse, at home with parents who look through drawers) and a snap decision, your first foray into self-pleasure via sex toys.
But now is the time to think about a new, possibly more exciting vibrator. The technology has come a long way, especially in the last few years as women enjoying self-pleasure has, you know, stopped being frowned upon. Ugh.
From whisper-quiet vibrators practically designed for those share house situations to clitoral stimulators that suck and blow, there are some great options in the sex toy market for upgrading your solo time. Oh, and a few old favourites that have really gone the distance. Here are some top rated vibrators to consider if you’re up for making a new purchase.
1. Elixir Play Ruby
Elixir Play’s Ruby is a full-silicone, flexible wand vibrator. It’s soft, bendy and designed for maximum G-spot stimulation. Its unique shape is unlike traditional vibrators which offers an easy grip during play.
Elixir Play Ruby, $119.95 at The Iconic.
2. Womanizer x Lovehoney Clitoral Vibrator
There’s a reason the Womanizer vibrator collection is a cult buy globally. The brand’s “pleasure air technology” changed the game when it came to clitoral stimulation – using air pulses to create a sucking sensation, as opposed to relying purely on vibrations. A great buy if standard vibrators just haven’t done it for you.

3. Fifty Shades Of Grey Greedy Girl Rabbit Vibrator
Rabbit vibrators might look intimidating, but are actually a great introduction to sex toys. The rabbit ears send vibrations to your clit, while the stem is curved to hit your g-spot. The result? Intense orgasms! The Fifty Shades version allows you to individualise the vibe intensity between the ears and the stem.

This funny-looking egg vibrator is one of the best for couple play. The “arms” keep it in place over your clitoris, and the small size means it fits neatly between bodies.
