The first time I tried a Lelo vibrator, it was the Sona 2 and it worked so well that it became the only vibrator I used for months. I'm not going to lie, I had high expectations. As an avid Cosmo reader, I already knew Lelo toys were top-of-the-line, and I'd read enough reviews to know that the Sona 2 really is That Girl when it comes to clitoral suction toys. The thing is, I've tried a lot of suction vibes; they're my absolute favorite type of sex toy, and one of the many perks of being a sex and relationships editor is more free vibrators than you could ever possibly test yourself. But Sona 2 really stands out, and it's still heavily active in my rotation. If it isn't a part of yours yet, you're in luck—Lelo's summer sale is happening right now.
Until August 31, Lelo is offering 15 percent off site-wide. Which means, hi–not only can you get the Sona 2 for less, you can also apply the discount to anything on Lelo's site using the code HELLOSUMMER15. And trust, there's a lot worth testing. Lelo toys are consistently high-performing and last for years, not to mention they come with a soft storage pouch for discreet pleasure on-the-go. Lelo is a luxury brand, so you can expect to spend more than you would on a drugstore vibrator, but the quality pays for itself—you can rest assured every piece of tech is high quality and made with body-safe materials.
But don't just take my word for it—the Dot and the Sona 2 are consistently some of the most popular toys on our site, meaning thousands of readers just like you are adding to cart and indulging every day. And lest you forget, the benefits of masturbation are plenty. A good toy can help you figure out what you like during sex, info that you can and should communicate to your partner so that you're both having the best experience possible. Masturbation can also lower stress levels, boost your mood, relieve period cramps and headaches, help you fall asleep…the benefits are literally endless! There are no cons!!
Now that we've (obvi) convinced you, you might be wondering where to start. That's why I put together this handy—pun intended—list of the very best options available on Lelo's website right now. Treat yourself! In this case, it's literally good for you.
Clitoral vibrators are specifically designed to directly stimulate the clitoris, and can come in a few different styles. Clitoral suction toys do exactly what it sounds like—apply suction to your clitoris that's meant to mimic the sensation of oral sex. Does it feel exactly the same as a skilled partner's tongue action? No, but some toys can get pretty damn close (see: the aforementioned Sona 2 + a little water-based lube). Other clit vibrators—like bullets, wands, and pinpoint vibrators—provide targeted stimulation by rumbling at various speeds and patterns. Wands are designed to cover larger surface areas (and can be used to massage anywhere on the body), bullets are smaller and meant for clitoral, vulva, or nipple stim, and pinpoint vibrators like the Dot do the same, just with a teeny tiny point for ultra-targeted pleasure.
Internal vibrators are designed for stimulation of your internal hot spots, sometimes known as the g-spot (which isn't a technically-correct term since it isn't one singular spot and not everyone feels pleasure there—it's more like a g-area, if you will). They're usually long and sleek for easy insertion and controlled via a set of buttons on the handle end. Some internal vibrators have bulbous heads to stimulate the head of a penis, and cover a larger surface area inside. Others thin out at the tip for more targeted stimulation.
Dual-stimulation vibrators are meant to provide both internal and external stimulation; clitoral and vaginal at the same time. Rabbit vibrators are a perfect example, like the Soraya Wave below. The long end vibrates inside you and the short end vibrates outside and stimulates your clitoris. Dual-stim vibes can be a little intense, so if you're new to sex tech, you might want to opt for something simpler like a clit-only vibe or an internal toy to get used to the sensations. Then, when you're ready, graduating to a dual-stim can feel second nature—and absolutely mind-blowing in the best way possible.
Truth? Any vibrator can be a couples vibrator if you use it with your partner and you're both enjoying it, whatever that looks like for you. But some sex toys are specifically designed for the simultaneous pleasure of both partners during sex. Wearable vibes (sometimes called C-vibrators because they're shaped like the letter C) like the Tiani 3 and the Tiani Harmony are designed to be worn by the receiving partner during penetration and felt by both partners. Couples rings (aka penis rings or cock rings) are designed to be worn by the penetrating partner and feel amazing pressed up against the receiver during sex. And any remote-control powered toy is great for power play. Think: You're wearing a panty vibe like the Lyla 2 during dinner while your partner controls the functions. Sexy!
