Lelo's Dot Is Surprisingly My New Favorite Vibrator
I didn't expect 2025 to be the year that my longtime favorite vibrator would be replaced, but here we are. The winner of such a regal spot in my bedside table drawer? The Lelo Dot, a clitoral pinpoint vibrator. I've come across a few pinpoint vibrators in my life as a sex toy reviewer, but I usually dismissed them mostly based on looks: pokey, aggressive, and somewhat medieval. In most cases, the pinpoint was made of hard ABS plastic, making it even more uninviting. It's here that the Dot immediately stood out against other pinpoint vibrators with its super-soft and flexible silicone. Being able to easily move the pinpoint with my fingers made it more welcoming, too. Precise Vibes Courtesy of Lelo From the moment the precision tip touched my clitoris, I knew I was dealing with something far different from other vibrators. While traditional vibrators, like wands, bullets, and G-spot vibrators, diffuse vibrations so they travel in waves across and/or inside the vulva, that wasn't happening with the Dot. Because of the tip, the vibrations are precise, meaning you can explore the glans of the clitoris in an intimate way that you just can't with vibrators that have bigger heads. If you thought that every part of your glans experiences pleasure in the same way, then you're in for a treat—it doesn't. For example, I've learned that the most sensitive part of my glans is the upper left area that's closest to the prepuce, also known as the clitoral hood. When I use toys, I know that if I angle the vibrators, no matter how big the head, so that the majority of the pressure and intensity is on that area, that's what feels best for me. When you reduce the head size down so it's just a point, as is the case with the Dot's design, then you can focus on that one itty-bitty spot, giving you more to discover in sensations. You're not just stimulating the vulva and its money spot, the clitoris—you can stimulate the money spots within the money spot, increasing pleasure exponentially. Having so much control over such a small and extremely sensitive area allowed me to experience orgasms in a new and more intense way, and the Dot also makes multiple orgasms easier to achieve. There's something about pinpoint stimulation that leaves the body craving more, so you succumb to that desire and give it more. Orgasm after orgasm, like I'd never had with a traditional vibrator, made me ever-so briefly concerned. So far, I've managed to live my entire life without any addictions, but with the Dot, I couldn't help but wonder, 'Am I going to turn into Charlotte York? Is the Dot to me what the Rabbit was to her? Have I finally found a vice with which I'll need to grapple?' I've only had the Lelo Dot for almost a month so far, so it's hard to say. But if ever there were a vibrator that would lead me down a road of obsession and lust, the Dot is it. Near Perfect for Those With Vulvas Courtesy of Lelo While the precision is certainly the best part about the Dot, it has other features that make it a must-have for those with vulvas. Like the majority of Lelo toys, it's 100 percent waterproof, has a run time of two hours (which takes two hours of charging to get there), and is USB rechargeable. Note, though, that only one end of the included charging cable is USB-A. The connector that goes into the Dot is a barrel charger, which isn't as convenient as USB-C.

Le Wand's Dive Is One of My Favorite Sex Toys of the Year
I once had a boyfriend who, after watching me orgasm so quickly and so strongly with a vibrator, looked at me mournfully and said, 'Now women will never need men again.' We were both 25 at the time and inexperienced, and not just sexually. I haven't thought about him or that conversation in years, but after the new Le Wand Dive brought me to orgasm pretty much on contact, the memory came back to me. He was right, after all: No one with a vulva needs a man for anything, especially a clitoral orgasm. My favorite bullet vibrator is the Le Wand Deux, so I have plenty of experience with the company's sex toys, but nothing could have prepared me for the Dive. Off-the-Charts Intense Courtesy of Le Wand When I first encounter a vibrator, I always go through the vibration intensities in my hand before anything else. While testing a vibrator against your nose is the best way to figure out if the settings are strong enough (or too strong) for your clitoral satisfaction, I've tried so many vibrators that I can gauge their strength fairly well with a grip. I do this as a way to give myself a heads up as to just how powerful something is before I use it on my clitoris. Maybe the other wands I have in my collection have exhausted themselves with time and use, but when I cranked the Dive to its top intensity (there are 10), the vibrations were so strong that I could feel them up my arm, across my chest, and into my jaw. Even 20 minutes after this brief test round, my hand was still feeling the effects and struggling to shake the tingling away. I tend to be a glutton for high-intensity vibrators on my vulva, so I'm so happy I did this first. With this necessary information about its power in mind, I eased my way into the Dive during my first time, taking on each intensity slowly, although you have the option to hold down the (+) button and take it from zero to 60 in seconds. I couldn't get past the fourth intensity without completely caving and having an immediate orgasm. I was equally shocked, impressed, and confused. But most importantly, feeling so amazing and practically enlightened—thank you, oxytocin!—that I briefly thought I could solve all the world's problems. But because the Dive isn't just splashproof but fully submersible, I knew I was just getting started, and the world would have to wait. Underwater Fun Courtesy of Le Wand I've never really been into sexual activities that involve water. I learned after my first few forays into pool sex that water washes away natural lube, so my mind has categorized sexual pleasure and water separately. However, with the Dive being waterproof, I had to unlearn what I knew.
