It should come as no surprise that 2024, which was marked by boy sobriety, intentional celibacy, and the 4B movement, was also a year of sex toy launches galore. Buzzy buddies, after all, allow non-partnered pleasure-seekers to get theirs—living, breathing bedmate notwithstanding.

Of course, it isn’t just those taking a hiatus from dating who got down with a motorized lover during the last 12 months—an estimated 163 million individuals in the United States own a sex toy, with a third of those owning a collection of more than five! In recent years, sex toys have started to be everyday household objects, in large part because they have become less stigmatized—due to a combination of online sex education, celebrity endorsements, and partnership deals, increased research about pleasure and sexual aids, and myth-busting content that affirms that sex toys aren’t a competition. They also becoming just feel damn good (they are, after all, lab-designed to provide stimulation at intensities and durations that the human body will never be able to).

But which toys that launched in the last 12 months feel best? Amongst all the pleasure products that hit shelves (and online stores) this past year, these are the best sex toys of 2024 that will have a place in our hearts and sex toy collections for life.

Best overall: Womanizer Vibe — $129.00

Type: Vulva vibrator | Material: Silicone | Settings: 10 | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 90 minutes

This year, Womanizer debuted its first-ever vibrator, aptly named Vibe, and we couldn’t keep our hands off of it—or, more accurately, we couldn’t keep it off of us. To the naked eye, Vibe may look identical to Womanizer’s world-renowned air pleasure toys, the Womanizer Premium ($179) and Womanizer Next ($219). But unlike those iconic, no-contact clitoral suction, the vibe is a lay-on vibrator. Designed to contour to and career the unique curves of the vulva, much like a palm vibrator, this silky silicone toy delivers rumbly vibrators all along your external erogenous zones. 

Arguably, the most innovative portion of the design is the hooked end, which “essentially creates a pocket for your clit,” licensed clinical social worker and AASECT-certified sex therapist Shamyra Howard, Ph.D, CST, LCSW told Well & Good. Its completely soundless design also contributed to the toy’s podium standing.

Pros: 

• 10 deep-penetrating vibration intensities
• Ergonomic designed provides stimulation all along the vulva
• Completely soundless
• Waterproof

Cons:

• Not a pleasure-air toy

Runner-up: The Monarch Swan Twisting Vibrator & Stimulator — $120.00

Type: Vibrator, dual stimulator, and suction toy | Material: Silicone | Vibration setting: 15 | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 80 minutes

Whether you’re looking for a tongue vibrator, clit suction toy, G-spot massager, or rabbit, this four-in-one sex toy aims to please. Thanks to a swiveling mechanism at its center, this versatile vibrator can transform from a dual external and internal stimulator into three other toys. Once twisted, one end of the toy sports a nozzle that can supply tongue-like licks or clitoral suction, while the other has a curved, bulbous head for internal or external stimulation. The versatility of this innovative toy, as well as its reasonable price point, make it ideal for pleasure-seekers still exploring their sexual tastes. 

Pros: 

• Incredibly versatile design
• Twisting mechanism is straight forward
• Wide variety of options for clitoral and/or vaginal stimulation

Cons: 

• Heaviness of toy may keep it from being as accessible
• Water-resistant, not waterproof

Most improved: We-Vibe Wand 2 — $169.00

Type: Wand vibe | Material: Silicone | Vibration settings: 10 | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 120 minutes

From Presidents to leopard prints, this past year has been rife with comebacks. The best for your sex life, however, is the re-release of the We-Vibe wand. Back and better than ever, the We-Vibe 2 has a unique head that can provide both pinpointed and broad stimulation. The heads of most massagers are as smooth and simple as pool table balls—certainly, that’s the case with the Dame Com and the Le Wand Die Cast. But We-Vibe’s version sports an oblong shape with squared edges on the underbelly of one of the sides, which can be used for targeted stimulation, such as along your clitoris. 

Like other wand-style vibrators,this external vibrator has a long handle that extends your reach. What is unique, however, is that the neck connecting the handle and vibrating head is flexible, which allows you to play with pressure.

Pros: 

• Versatile head stimulation
• Intuitive button design
• App-compatible

Cons: 

• Heft may make it inaccessible
• Large size can be intimidating

Best upgraded: Lelo Gigi 3 — $149.00

Type: G-spot vibrator | Material: Silicone | Vibration settings: 8 | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 120 minutes

The Lelo Gigi has long been a favorite amongst pleasure-seekers who enjoy internal stimulation—in fact, in 2021 the Gigi 2 was the top-selling vibrator in the United States! Well, in August Lelo launched the third generation of this G-spot toy, and it is even better than its predecessors. The Gigi 3 has a slightly curved shape that’s come to define G-spot vibrators. But it has a flattened top, reminiscent of the hairstyle by that same name; this increases the amount of surface area stimulated when the toy is used vaginally while offering pinpointed pleasure when the toy is flipped around for clitoral use. The most notable part about the Gigi 3, however, is its button design which is far more beginner-friendly and intuitive than earlier models. 

Pros: 

• Can be used externally and vaginally
• Upgraded button design
• App-controllable

Cons: 

• Not anal-safe

Best vibrator: Cal Exotics Thicc Chubby Bunny Rabbit Vibrator — $86.00

Type: Rabbit vibe | Material: Silicone | Vibration settings: 10 | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 100 minutes

The fact that the Thicc Chubby Bunny Rabbit Vibrator is so well-made that it’s my podium pick for best vibrator of the year, despite its silly name, speaks to its ingenuity. Crafted from liquid silicone, the shaft of this rabbit toy is uniquely pliable. Squishy in feel, this toy can deliver a sensation similar to that of a human hand—if a human hand had 10 different vibrating functions, of course. The two-arm design of this vibrator means it’s made for simultaneous internal (vaginal) and external (clitoral) stimulation. However, like most toys, it is versatile and can also be used for external stimulation only. 

Pros: 

• Made from squishy silicone
• Rabbit-vibrator design
• 10 different vibration options

Cons: 

• Internal arm may be too thick for some

Most innovative: Biird Ohwii by Wicul — $65.00

Type: Double-ended dildo | Material: Borosilicate glass | Vibration settings: N/A | Power: N/A | Battery life: N/A

At long last, there is a double-ended dildo made from glass! Introducing the Ohwii, a collaborative project between pleasure product company Biird (best known for their clit sucker, the Cuddly Bird) and the sex educator Edwige Infirmière (@wicul on Instagram). A type of double-ended dildo dubbed a strapless strap-on, the shorter arm of this toy gets inserted into one partner, who uses their pelvic floor muscles to keep the toy inside while thrusting the extended, longer arm into their partner. Best, made from iridescent glass that is non-breakable and body-safe, the Ohwii offers all the perks of glass sex toys, such as temperature adaptability, heft, and lubricant compatibility. 

Pros: 

• Heft supports increased pressure
• Can be used for temperature play
• Compatible with all lubricants
• Anal safe

Cons: 

• Does not vibrate

Most innovative runner-up: Playboy Twist of Fate Glass Vibrator — $64.00

Type: Glass vibrator | Material: Borosilicate glass | Vibration settings: 10 | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 60 minutes

For longer than bombshells have lusted after Adam Brody, glass sex toys and vibrators have existed as two separate entities. In 2024, Playboy dared to create a line of vibrators made from glass, which combine the smooth outer and heft of glass with the nerve-stimulating capabilities of a motorized toy. While all toys in the Playboy collection will fit your sexual needs better than any glass slipper could your foot, the most revolutionary of them all is the Twist of Fate. A seven-inch dildo with vibrating capabilities, this affordable pick is named for its twisting spiral design, which uses texture to please and tease with every thrust. 

Pros: 

• Glass offers friction-free penetration
• Beginner-friendly girth
• Textured design for additional stimulation
• Tapered tip for easy entry

Cons: 

• Not anal safe
• Not as heavy as other glass toys

Best wearable: Unbound Flick Vibrator Ring — $64.00

Type: Vibrating ring | Material: Zinc alloy | Vibration settings: 3 | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 120 minutes

The razzling, dazzling Unbound Flick is both a mini external vibrator and a statement piece. A vibrating ring that can fit fingers sizes 4 to 11, Flick is a conversation starter and orgasm finisher all in one. Plus, “each time you catch a glimpse of it throughout your day, you’ll be reminded that your pleasure matters, which can feel incredibly empowering,” sex educator and public health advocate Birna Gustafsson, MSc, host of Beyond The Bedroom podcast previously told Well & Good. 

The motorized portion of the ring is no bigger than a silver dollar. But, the combination of rounded and squared edges that shape the small toy means the wearable can be used for broad or pinpointed stimulation. 

Pros: 

• Conversation starter
• Less expensive than other vibrating jewelry
• Fits a range of finger widths

Cons: 

• Vibrations are buzzy, rather than rumbly

Best budget toy: Dame Zig — $19.00

Type: Bullet vibe | Material: Silicone | Vibration settings: 3 | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 60 minutes

Since its launch in 2014, Dame has been a pleasure-product company known for their reliable, beginner-friendly sex toys. Most of their offerings cost a pretty penny. Case in point: Their suction toy, the Aer, is $95, while their g-spot stimulator, the Arc, is $115. However, after a decade of innovation, Dame added a very budget-friendly option to their line. Zig is a compact, lipstick-shaped vibrator that rings up at $19. Exclusively available at Walmart, this external vibe doesn’t compromise quality for affordability. The toy is still completely body-safe, made from buttery-soft silicone, and intense. 

Pros: 

• Very affordable
• Beginner-friendly
• Compact

Cons: 

• Only available at Walmart

Best value toy: Satisfyer Heat Flex 4 — $90.00

Type: Vibrator | Material: Silicone | Vibration settings: 12 | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 60 minutes

Leave lukewarm sex behind by getting your hands on the just-launched Satisfyer Heat Flex 4. The shaft of this toy can be warmed up to 102°F. Not only will this make your clit feel cozy, but the heating capabilities can be used for temperature play as well as warming your water-based lube or massage oil. Adding to the hot-hot-hot experience of this toy is the fact it offers clitoral stimulation through vibration and G-spot stimulation through rotation. 

Pros: 

• Warming capabilities
• Vibrates and rotates
• Made from silky-soft silicone
• Waterproof

Cons: 

• Not long enough for deep penetration

Best bullet vibrator: Femme Funn Anniversary Ultra Bullet — $90.00

Type: Bullet vibe | Material: Silicone | Vibration setting: 21 | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 90 minutes

We admit that the Ultra Bullet didn’t see the light of day (or the dark beneath the sheets) for the first time in 2024. However, just last month, Femme Funn launched a special edition of the full silicone bullet vibrator to celebrate its first decade on the market. The Anniversary Ultra is made from the same skin-soft silicone and bendability that have long popularized the petite vibe. This special edition version, however, boasts faster charging capabilities, an extra powerful boost mode, and a chic, discreet charging case that fits in your bag for the perfect night out. 

Pros: 

• Bendable design allows for targeted stimulation
• Impressive range of vibration intensities
• Silicone has skin-like texture
• Beautiful color

Cons: 

• Requires case for charging

Best butt plug: B-Vibe Beginner’s Vibrating Butt Plug — $80.00

Type: Butt plug | Material: Silicone | Vibration settings: 6 | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 60 minutes

B-Vibe, as far as anal sex toys go, is the cream of the crop. Why? Because all of their premium peach-play products are made from high-quality materials, are anal-safe, and come with sex education pamphlets. The thing is, most b-Vibe anal products are sized for intermediate and advanced anal lovers—even the Petite Rimming Plug ($159), which replicates analingus, is quite girthy. The 2024 release of the aptly-named Beginner Vibrating Butt Plug, however, was made specifically for first-time anal-explorers. It offers three inches of insertable length and a one-inch diameter with a tapered tip, making it comparable to a finger. The toy also has vibrating capabilities you can activate to level up your peach play, as well as a suction base with an easy-lift tab. 

Pros: 

• Beginner-friendly size
• Vibrating capabilities
• Suction base with unique easy lift tab

Cons: 

• Only available in pink

Best sex machine: ZALO SESH Compact Sex Machine — $259.00

Type: Sex machine | Material: Silicone | Vibration settings: 6 patterns, 6 thrusting modes | Power: USB charging | Battery life: 45 minutes

While most sex machines will put you out one to two grand, this just-launched option from Zalo costs just $259. Plus, while other sex machines are about as travel-friendly as a set of triplets (meaning, not at all), this machine can break apart and fit into an easy-to-carry storage case. Powered by the same thrusting technology that has made Zalo’s hand-held thrusting vibrators (like the Rose Rabbit Thruster), the SESH can deliver up to six penetrative thrusts per second. Unlike handheld thrusters, however, this toy can be popped into a multi-angle suction cup base for hands-free use. Each purchase comes with two different penetrative attachments, one of which is phallic and one of which is not. 

Pros: 

• Very affordable for a sex machine
• Vibrates and thrusts
• Two different penetrative

Cons: 

• Cannot be used for non-penetrative pleasure
