At the shop we’re always
getting asked what’s the best toy, or what’s the most popular, or what do you
like? Well here we are to break it down
for you and take you through our five favourite vibrators, and the reasons they
have such a special place in our heart.
Keep in mind this top five is by no means stagnant as there are always
new and fun toys making their way onto the market for all of us to enjoy. What works for you may not work for somebody
else, but these are a few of the good ones out there that we not only
personally love, but seem to have a loyal following.
1. The Water Dancer- If you’re familiar with the
term Pocket Rocket this is the fun little clitoral vibrator they’re all talking
about. It’s not the fanciest of
vibrators, and it only has one speed, but there’s one thing for sure it works,
and works well. The Water Dancer is made
by Vibratex, which is a company from Japan so suffice to say it has quality
electronics even if they are simple. It
is waterproof so is ostensibly good for submersion. That said its waterproofness is protected by
an O-ring gasket, which over time may loosen up with repeated battery changes
compromising the integrity of the waterproof feature. You’ll also note once you have it in your
hand you can wiggle the plastic cap on and off.
This is a great little feature that gives you a little bit of intensity
choice. You can have the cap on to diffuse
the vibration slightly, or take it off and have direct contact with the nodules
for a slightly more intense buzz. Perhaps
the best thing about this vibrator though is that it’s only thirty-five
bucks. The Water Dancer makes the list
because it's function, and performance, combined with price to truly make it
the gateway vibrator and a great choice for a first timer, or if you’re on a
bit of a budget.
P.S. Ever wander why some vibrators look like animals, or have smiling faces? Well it has something to do with this company.
2. The Siri- Jumping way up on the price scale,
but accompanied by quality is the Siri. This
fancy pants vibrator from Swedish toy company Lelo is not only aesthetically
appealing it’s downright powerful. Compared
to other vibrators from Lelo we chose this one because it is one of their more
powerful, less gimmicky models that form fits to the hand rather nicely. Like other Lelo toys I really like the way
the finish of the silicone glides across the body. Compared to other silicone toys it is that
much smoother than anything else out there, and the difference is indubitably
noticeable.
As far as speeds go it has
five of them, combined with five vibration patterns giving you a lot of
variability to explore your body with. Wow,
I can’t believe I got this far through the description without even telling you
one of the best parts it’s rechargeable.
That’s right no messing around looking for batteries, just charge it up
and it’s ready to go, and go, and go. Those
extra goes are for the length the motor lasts on a single charge. The Siri is a beautiful vibrator for those
that have the bucks to spoil themselves (or a friend) with a sweet fusion of
quality, elegance, and intelligence all rolled into a sexy package.

3. The Stubby- Granted the
name for this toy isn’t the sexiest one out there, but what it lacks in the moniker
department it makes up for in the performance.
Price wise this vibrator is on the higher end of the middle range of
price points, but the versatility it provides is what pushes it into our top
five. As with 90 some odd percent of
Trinity Romance toys on the site the Stubby is made of silicone making the
possibility of cleaning it appropriately for either vaginal, or anal use a
reality. Since silicone is a non-porous
material it’s strictly a surface clean.
For that same reason lubes will go further on the toy as well, because
they’re not getting absorbed into the actual material of the toy. To sanitize the Stubby after anal play you
can clean it in a 10% bleach solution, or if you merely need to provide a
simple clean after vaginal use anti-bacterial soap and water combined with a
good rinse will suffice. Now all that
said you can’t just use any silicone vibrator for both vaginal and anal
play. Toys that cross over into both
realms need not only be made of silicone they must also feature a flared base
too, so the toy has zero risk of getting lost in the rectum.
With a thorough
understanding of the material benefits now in hand, take a second and check out the shape. Note
the really acute curve at the top the vibrator.
I’m sure some of you are going hmmm.
For those unaware that acute curve is perfect for hitting the G-spot in
women, or the P-spot (prostate) in men.
Now throw all those sweet features together and give it 8 speeds, 3
pulse settings, and a turbo boost button that will turn the volume to 11
whenever you need it, and you can see why it’s one of our favourite fives.

4. Hitachi Magic Wand- If we
didn’t put this one on our list Nina Hartley, and Samantha Jones (Google them)
would be calling us a band of vibrator neophytes, and you know what they’d be
right. It may be big, unattractive, and
relatively loud, but no other vibrator buzzes quite like the Hitachi Magic
Wand. This is the vibrator for the ages,
and for good reason, it has power! The
Hitachi has two speeds low, and high, but it may as well be powerful, and
orgasmic steamroller on speed power.
Quite simply the Hitachi doesn’t joke around when it comes to
orgasms. Even the fact that the Hitachi
is on a cord is quickly forgotten when you witness the power this vibrator
brings to the table. The one positive
about the cord is that the vibrator motor has a constant supply of power so its
intensity doesn’t fluctuate like battery-operated units, which translates into
a longer toy life due to less stress.
I’m not joking when I say I know folks who have enjoyed their Hitachi
for over a decade.
5. G4 Tiger- To counter the
old school and bridge the branch vibrator gap we’ve left in this list thus far,
we’re going to feature the G4 Tiger from Fun Factory. As you can see this vibrator is designed for
penetration, while providing clitoral stimulation. What I like about it versus other branch
vibrators like the Rabbit, or the Ina is the choice of material, combined with vibration
pattern, and overall feel. Unlike the
Lelo toys the Fun Factory rechargeables (which the Tiger is by the way) are
silicone the whole way through their body giving them a much softer feel as
opposed to the rigid shaft of toys like the Ina, or Soraya. As far as Rabbit comparisons go they aren’t
even in the same league in my opinion.
The Rabbit was great 10 years ago, but technology has advanced and toys
like the Tiger are the next step in the evolution of that classic design. The handle fits ergonomically into the hand
giving you something really easy to grip while being in contact with the eight
individual speeds, and three pulse settings.
The shaft also has a nice head to it that can bump against the G-spot,
and ridges along the backside to target all the nerve endings on the front wall
of the vagina. It seems the G4 Tiger
really has thought of it all, and we’re big fans for good reason.
Well that’s our top
favourite five; I hope you guys liked it.
If you think we missed any awesome vibrators, or you just think we’re
way off base we’d love to hear what you think.
