7 Best sex toys for women and people with vulvas
You deserve the best — and who better to recommend your next toy than the people who’ve tried them all? Here's our top seven sex toys, based on Lovehoney's staff recommendations and thousands of customer reviews.
And if you have no idea how to choose, we'll talk all about the types of sex toys for women in more detail later.
If you're on TikTok, you might already know about this rose-shaped sex toy. It's famous for bed-soaking, knee-trembling, unforgettable orgasms that leave users practically speechless. Putting it at the top of this list is a no brainer! So, how does the rose toy work?
Made from velvety-soft silicone, the Lovehoney Rose feels super sensual against your skin. It uses Pleasure Air Technology, sending pulsating waves from the centre of the toy to your clitoris. It's both contactless and vibrationless, so you won't get overstimulated by its caresses.
Pros: It's adorable and so easy to use alone or during partnered sex.
Cons: The rose toy doesn't vibrate, but that doesn't limit the intensity of your orgasms.
Lovehoney Rose
Trace the soft petals over your nipples and build anticipation before you press it against your vulva. The rose toy is easy to hold with two button control to explore the 10 intensity levels. Customers love taking this one into the bath since it's waterproof (and they're about to get very, very wet anyway).
What customers say: "My legs are still shaking."
Customers love the We-Vibe Wand 2 for stimulating any external part of the body, whether you're easing muscle tension or... creating sexual tension.
The smooth, silicone head feels great against your skin, while the flexible neck bends to your body’s contours. It's also cordless with a remote control app, so you can play anywhere and even hand over control to a lover. In fact, couples enjoy incorporating this toy into bondage play, getting tied up and surrendering to wild orgasms.
Pros: It's both luxurious and powerful, for truly magic orgasms.
Cons: Some say it's a little loud but not compared to other toys of a similar size.
We-Vibe Wand 2
Don't you just love the look of this toy? It's not just beautiful, either, it's ergonomically designed to be comfortable to hold, with a flexible neck and large head to reach all your pleasure points. Customers love the powerful, rumbly vibrations and easy connection to the We-Vibe app. It's an irresistible companion when playing alone or to press against your clit during partnered play.
What customers say: "Shapewise, this wand is perfect as the handle and edge of the head are just right for holding and grinding."
The Jessica Rabbit 10 is easily one of the best vibrators for dual stimulation. It has bulbous, vibrating head to massage your G-spot, while a pocket of pearly beads rumble inside the rotating shaft to excite you even more.
Rabbit toys are a classic for solo play; they stimulate you internally and externally, leaving you wondering if you ever need penetrative sex again (kidding... kind of). But this one often gets overlooked for partnered play. If you're the one with a vulva, your partner will love using this toy on you — or watching you use it on yourself. Plus, with plenty of anal lube, it can be used in the rear door too. Check out our anal masturbation guide for tips.
Pros: Soft, flexible rabbit ears and separate functions for both the shaft and ears, so you get complete control of your pleasure.
Cons: If you’re totally new to sex toys, you might find this one a bit intimidating at first glance. Some customers say it’s bigger than they expect, but it shouldn’t put you off if you crave dual stimulation.
Just go slow, use lube, and get to know all the settings. You can even start by using one element of the toy at a time – build yourself up before you fully insert it.
Jessica Rabbit 10
Its soft, flexible ears tickle your clitoris with three speeds and seven patterns for toe-curling pleasure. These patterns are totally separate to the shaft, meaning you can customise the experience to your exact preferences. Like many of our toys, the Jessica Rabbit is totally waterproof, meaning you can take her for some me-time in the bath or shower.
What customers say: "Just hits all the spots these types of vibrators are designed for. Lots of options and ways to use it. It's a good size as well, which makes it easily storable. A must-have in anyone's toy collection."
The Lifelike Lover Classic Dildo is ultra bendy and soft to touch for true-to-life sensations and ultimate comfort. Known for its lifelike skin tones, veins, and realistic head, our customers say the Lifelike Lover is “durable, reliable, and always gets the job done!”
Being so flexible, and coming in at a respectable 5 inches, this is a great toy for beginners as well as more experienced users. You can use it for vaginal or anal masturbation (but not both, unless you play with a condom and get a new one before switching). It’s also harness compatible, meaning you can use it for pegging if you’ve got an O-ring with 1.5 inch diameter.
Pros: Silky, real feel with defined head and realistic balls for anyone who fantasizes about the real thing. The suction cup base means it's versatile for hands free play, including in the shower or with a strap-on.
Cons: Since it's made of a soft plastic known as TPE, it's best not to share this toy with other lovers (or switch between anal and vaginal penetration). TPE isn't as easy to disinfect as materials like silicone, glass, or stainless steel. But it feels super soft and realistic, just like skin.
Lifelike Lover Classic
With a suction cup base, you can stick your dildo to almost any smooth surface (like the tiles in your shower) and enjoy hands-free fun, alone or with a partner. Since this dildo isn't made of silicone, it's also compatible with silicone-based lube, which lasts longer in the shower. That means you can enjoy playing with your dildo for as long as you can last.
What customers say: "The size, shape, and feel were so realistic and comfortable while still applying good pressure."
Yes, We-Vibe is back on the list! We-Vibe toys are generally designed with couples in mind, but that's part of what makes them such great sex toys for women. Lots of women can't orgasm from penis-in-vagina sex alone, and plenty need time to get really in the mood before enjoying penetrative sex. These premium toys are ideal for foreplay and dual stimulation, and customers love handing over control to a partner to get themselves in the mood.
The We-Vibe Jive 2 is wearable a love-egg vibrator with a remote control (it can also be linked to the We-Vibe app for long distance play). The smooth, internal egg delivers rumbly vibrations to the G-spot while the external arm teases the clitoris. With loads of settings to play with, including one that syncs to the music on your phone, this subtle little toy will bring a thrill to the bedroom.
Pros: Discreet dual stimulation with a remote control that you can hand over to a partner (or enjoy on your own).
Cons: The vibrations aren't as powerful as the We-Vibe Wand, but that's what makes this toy perfect for discreet, internal stimulation (it's near silent).
We-Vibe Jive 2
The contoured egg will slip inside you (with plenty of water-based lube) and target your G-spot with deep vibrations. Hand over the remote control to your partner and let them tease you with 10 different settings. It's near-silent, so you can play on a date to build anticipation for as long as you can bear.
What customers say: "To say I was squirming with pleasure is an understatement. You can give your partner complete control over your orgasm which to me is just unbelievable and has brought a whole new dimension to my relationship."
You can enjoy almost any sex toy with a partner, but this one's really special. The Lovehoney Strapless Strap-on stimulates both the wearer and the receiver at the same time.
“If you want to ride your boyfriend into battle, buy it,” says one customer. That’s just one of many m/f couples that have loved the new power dynamic this toy brings to their relationship. Of course, it works just as well for vaginal penetration, making it a firm favourite for couples where everyone has a vulva.
Pros: Both partners get stimulation, thanks to the insertable love egg-style pony and removable bullet vibe.
Cons: Without kegels of steel, some people find it difficult to keep the insertable arm inside once they start thrusting. Go for a slow, sensual grind or wear harness briefs over your strap-on.

Lovehoney Strapless Strap-on
It has 6.5 inches of length on the dildo, with an insertable pony that goes inside the wearer (with a dab of water-based lube, as always). With a removable bullet vibrator included, you can choose to keep it simple or switch on the good vibes to get you both trembling. Some couples will like the fact that this one doesn't look like a realistic penis.
What customers say: "Not to be dramatic, but it might have saved my relationship. The ability for both me and my wife to orgasm simultaneously has been life-changing, and this dildo makes it so natural- you can feel everything!"
Made from body-safe borosilicate glass, this toy feels sturdy and unbreakable. The Lovehoney Sensual Glass Dildo brings a bulbous texture to your anal play, stimulating all the sensitive nerve endings in and around the anus. Plus, the long body allows for safe, easy insertion. Just be sure to keep hold of at least two beads outside the anus, so you can remove it just as easily.
Pros: Looks and feels amazing. The beaded, glass body offers delicious sensations for either anal or vaginal penetration.
Cons: If you're new to anal play, this one might be a bit advanced. It’s always best to experiment with a clean, lubed finger first. Then, try this small glass butt plug to get used to the sensation and prepare your anus for larger toys.
Lovehoney Beaded Glass Dildo
Bold, beautiful beads make this feel toy like art as much as sex toy. Gently warm it under the hot tap or chill it with ice cubes if you enjoy temperature play — or slick it with oil-based lube for a sensual massage. But use a thick, water-based anal lube if you're going for anal penetration. Anal lube lasts longer and is specially formulated for your insides.
What customers say: "Each bulb going in feels amazing, and that little bit of tension when pulled out feels great too, truly great to tease."
Which type of sex toy is best for women?
Buying a sex toy isn’t as confusing as it looks. Just think about what you or your partner likes in the bedroom and which toys can enhance that experience. You’ll soon find a toy that gets you craving a duvet day.
Like it when your clitoris is kissed and licked? A clit sucking toy will drive your wild. Or are you all about that deep penetration? Go for a dildo or G-spot toy. And, if you’re unsure, try a crowd-pleasing wand vibrator for all over body stimulation.
Clitoral stimulators
Designed to either vibrate or “suck” your clit, these are ideal for sex toy beginners. Use one alone or next time you have penetrative sex with a partner. Bullet vibrators are the perfect first-time sex toy because of their easy instructions and versatility (stimulating nipples, perineum, clitoris, etc). If you enjoy oral, then a clitoral suction toy could be your new best friend, offering pulsating sensations that mimic oral sex.

Wand vibrators
With rumbly vibrations that can be used over the entire body for a deep tissue massage, wand vibrators are one of the most popular sex toys. Whether you buy a mains-powered, giant wand or pocket-sized one, these vibrators offer powerful vibrations at the click of a button; simply plug it in and use the buttons to control the vibration pattern and speed. Gently place it against your vulva, clitoris, nipples or any other body part you wish to stimulate for mind-blowing pleasure.
Rabbit vibrators
What sets rabbit vibrators apart from other toys is that they offer dual stimulation, with a vibrating shaft for internal pleasure and external ‘rabbit ears’ for stimulating the clit. Rabbit vibrators are one of the most popular sex toys for blended orgasms. Not to be confused with the name of a hot new cocktail, this is a type of orgasm that happens when both the G-spot and clitoris are stimulated, causing a powerful orgasm that will leave you shaking.

Dildos
From realistic dildos for penis worshippers, to glass or metal dildos for those interested in temperature play; dildos offer multiple benefits. Coming in a range of styles and sizes, they allow you to enjoy penetration at your own pace, since you pick the girth and length. Many dildos come with suction bases, so you can enjoy hands-free penetration as you play with your nipples and clitoris at the same time. They’re not just for solo play either. One Lovehoney customer found his sex life with his wife was “revitalised” after he bought her a dildo. “She came harder last night than I’ve ever seen her come,” he says.
G-spot toys
Have you met your G-spot, the sensitive pleasure point in the inner front wall of your vagina? Offering intense pleasure when stimulated by a penis or fingers, imagine the type of pleasure you can experience by adding vibrations into the mix. G-spot toys are insertable and often curved with a bulbous tip to reach that elusive spot. Some G-spot toys vibrate, thrust, or even rotate inside you. If you’re buying for a lover, you might both enjoy inserting a G-spot toy (with plenty of water-based lube) while you kiss and lick your partner’s clitoris.
Love eggs
Don’t let their small size fool you; these babies pack a powerful, vibrating punch. Simply grab the lube, insert your love egg, and use the remote control or smartphone app to adjust the vibration patterns and speeds. Love egg vibrators are perfect for partner play, as you can wear them under your clothes to add some spice to your next date — or with nothing at all in the bedroom if you want your partner to take control of your pleasure.
Anal toys
Whatever your gender, whoever you fancy, anal stimulation can be enjoyed by anyone. Start with a butt plug if you’re a newbie. The small, tapered tip and slim neck make these toys easy to insert, preparing the anus for larger things like a penis or dildo. Find out more in our guide: How to Use Butt Plugs.
Anal beads can be inserted and removed to stimulate the nerve endings inside and around the rim of the anus. Like vulva-focused sex toys, anal toys come in a range of styles, offering vibrating and non-vibrating options depending on your sensitivity levels, as well as different sizes and textures.
What else to know about buying sex toys
Whether you’re looking for a G-spot vibrator or a sensual anal toy, it’s important to know about materials. Some materials are much easier to clean and sterilize than others.
So, if you’re planning on sharing toys with multiple partners, it’s a good idea to choose a waterproof toy made from silicone, ABS plastic, glass, or stainless steel. That way, you can confidently wash your toys in warm water with mild, unscented soap.
If you choose a toy made from rubber or a soft plastic like TPE/TPR, it’s best to use a condom over it for hygiene. That way, you’ll avoid introducing any harmful bacteria to you or your partner’s sensitive genitals.
Be aware that silicone toys can only be used with water-based lubricant, as silicone lube will degrade the surface over time. Similarly, storing your silicone toys together will damage them. So, be sure to keep them separate in clean bags or boxes.
