The rose is a great design for a suction toy. The Lovehoney version provides powerful and specific stimulation to the clitoris, nipples or frenulum. The shape makes it easy to use from a variety of positions and can be easily maneuvered with just your fingertips. The large size of your mouth area also makes it easy to modulate the intensity of the stimulation by moving it forward or backward, creating more or less distance between you and the toy.
This is an absolute bargain. Le Wand makes some of the best wand vibrators on the market, and because of that, they usually come with a pretty high price tag. This one comes adorned with art by illustrator Kelly Malka and still features everything we love about Le Wand vibrators. We recently reviewed the Die Cast version (8/10 recommends WIRED) and came out very impressed.
Sometimes you need a simple dildo, without frills and without vibrations. Lovehoney’s liquid silicone options are colorful, adorable, and avoid the veiny anatomical intensity often seen in dildos. This soft little guy has a modest width and measures 6 inches long. It even has a flared base so it’s glute safe and fits into almost any strap-on harness.
The Lelo Hugo butt plug isn’t the best for beginners: it’s a little big if you’re completely new to anal, and it’s about two to three fingers wide. But if you’re a little versed, it’s a great addition to any bedside drawer. It stays in place easily and its vibration motor provides very Stimulation directed to the P point, if you have one. It also comes with a remote control which I always appreciate for any toy designed for stay in place. This has been a mainstay of our Best Sex Tech guide for about four years and for good reason.
Petters sometimes take themselves too seriously. These from Lovehoney have different textures and bumpy parts and come in bright, fun colors. Additionally, because they are the smallest, most open style of stroker, they lend themselves well to being part of a complete set of simultaneous phallic stimulation. They are also stretchy, but default to a reasonable width, making them fully functional for various phallus shapes and sizes.
Lelo’s Dot is an interesting little vibrator. It is a specific vibrator, with a tip as wide as a marker. The tapered tip directs its vibrations to a single point, creating intense and often overwhelming stimulation in any small erogenous zone. It is a fun toy to use as a couple and very different if you are looking for a unique complement to your bedside drawer. So getting one for free with a major purchase is a nice bonus, especially since it’s not cheap in and of itself.
Lelo’s Sila suction toy is one of our favorites, and this deal includes the Sila and one of Lelo’s other vibrators, the Gigi 2, for a discounted overall price. Sila is a compact suction toy that’s less intense overall than some of the other suction toys we’ve tested, but according to WIRED writer Louryn Strampe, the gentle stimulation helps achieve a satisfying, full-body climax. The Gigi 2, on the other hand, is a relatively simple-looking internal vibrator, but its shape is specially designed to reach the internal structures of the clitoris (the G-spot). The little bump on the end does a great job of channeling the vibrations directly to where they need to go, and the buttons on the other end are positioned in such a way that they’re easy to use without looking.
Lelo’s Hex condoms are a million times better than your average gas station prophylactic. They go on easily and the small hexagonal design provides enough texture to be interesting for both parties. Whether you have it on your partner’s genitals or on a sex toy, the small hexagonal texture provides a little extra internal stimulation, while avoiding the “medical exam glove” feeling you can get with cheaper condoms.
Lelo’s Enigma Cruise is a two-in-one internal vibrator and suction toy. The suction part fits perfectly to your clitoris and provides the deep stimulation and sucking sensation that you get from Lelo’s Sona 2 Cruise. The internal part houses a powerful vibration motor that produces deep, rumbling vibrations that travel deep to the internal structures of the clitoris. Used together, Enigma can help you develop an intense, satisfying, full-body orgasm like few other two-in-one toys can.
