The 10 Best Sex Toys For Women Of 2024, According To Experts & Our Team Of Testers

Sexual pleasure plays a huge role in our well-being, yet women experience orgasms way less frequently than men1. Experts agree that the best sex toys for women can help bridge that gap by enhancing pleasure and helping you discover what you like.

Rose sex toys became popular a few years ago for their unique combination of suction and vibration. Quite a few brands on the market make rose designs, but we like this option from Lovehoney best (a reliable brand in the sexual wellness space).

More than 36% of women require clitoral stimulation2 to reach climax—that’s where the Dame Eva comes in. 

There are very few truly sustainable vibrators on the market—and even fewer that go beyond a basic rumble. The Womanizer Premium Eco upgrades the brand’s original clitoral suction vibrator into an eco-friendly option. 

The best anal sex toys are a great tool for exploring pleasure on your own or with a partner. Those new to the game will want something beginner-friendly, such as this surprisingly chic butt plug.

This wearable vibrator is great for couples. With two bendy, flat arms, the device can stimulate the clitoris, G-spot, and penis simultaneously when worn inside the vagina during sex.

One of the most discreet sex toys we tested, this sleek wearable ring is designed for comfortable wear around the penis. 

If you can only buy one sex toy from this list, it should be the Lelo Sona Cruise 2. The clitoral suction vibrator is so good, our tester regularly finishes within minutes of hitting the power button—even on the lowest setting. 

Why is this vibrator so good? Well, it’s designed around the idea that 90% of the clitoris is actually hidden from view—and it’s rarely stimulated by traditional vibrators. The suction and pulsing of a clitoral vibrator have a strong (and further reaching) effect that better stimulates the clit. 

Okay, so this one isn't a sex toy, but we’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Sex is better with lube. We should know—once our tester tried this particular organic lube, she immediately signed up for a monthly description. 

Yes, orgasms feel great. But did you know they also come with a slew of health benefits?

Every orgasm boosts levels of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), an anti-aging hormone that improves muscle strength, bone density, body fat, sexual satisfaction, and overall well-being3.

Not to mention, orgasms release oxytocin, which buffers stress-activated cortisol4 and relieves anxiety5.

Need more proof? While our team tested the best sex toys for women, we experienced improved circulation, glowing skin, a healthier menstrual cycle, better sleep6, and less stress.

According to certified sex therapist and psychotherapist Lee Phillips, LCSW, CST, CSCT, sex toys are a tantalizing addition to your sex life because they add diversity, excitement, and creativity to the bedroom.

"Routine sex and masturbation can get boring, so why not spice it up and try something new? Sex toys can help you achieve the orgasm you desire," he says.

Sex toys offer a pathway to experiment with new kinks individually or in partnered scenarios. Trying out anal beads, remote-controlled vibrators, or internal g-spot vibrators can empower you to try the things you’ve always been curious about.

As Fleming told mindbodygreen, "great sex is all about angles.” 

Certified clinical sexologist and sex dating coach, Myisha Battle, M.S., adds, “Sex toys are also great for accessibility. If you or your partner has physical limitations, toys can help make sure each of you is getting the kind of stimulation and pleasure you need.”

For years, experts have been recommending pillows as a way to increase pleasure and keep the proper pelvic alignment during sex—and there’s not a sex expert in town who won’t preach the power of lube for better sex.

Licensed psychologist, certified sex therapist, and founder of online therapy practice Modern Intimacy, Kate Balestrieri, Psy.D., previously told mindbodygreen adding toys into the mix can help couples who are dealing with sexual obstacles, such as lowered libido, erectile dysfunction, or pain during penetration.

"They take the focus away from penetration being the coup de grâce of sex and bring the focus back to what's really important—which is all of the fun, pleasurable sensations, and just the adventure of being sexual together,” she explained.

Of course, sex toys can help you discover what you love on your own, too. 

“Sex toys are great for exploring what kinds of sensations you like and what areas of your body need stimulating during sex,” Battle adds. “With toys, you get to make adjustments in speed, intensity, and in some cases pulsing, suction and rhythmic patterns.”

"There's a level of intensity that you can't duplicate with your hands, your mouth, or penetration,” licensed psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist Megan Fleming, Ph.D., previously told mindbodygreen.

Balestrieri added, "We can't expect our bodies to do everything all the time, so sometimes it can be really nice to give [our bodies] a little help and a break so we can experience pleasure without having to do all the hard work."

That’s where sex toys come in—and they’ve come a long way in recent years. Once bulky, loud gadgets, the best sex toys for women are now often discreet, quiet, and surprisingly aesthetically pleasing. And they don’t sacrifice power or speed.

Clit suction vibrators, butt plugs, and dildos—where to begin? No matter your desire, rest assured you can find something to meet it.

“Just because one toy is popular, doesn't mean it's what you want and need in your experience,” says sexologist Lilithfoxx—and don’t we know it.

The FDA doesn't regulate the sex toy industry since they're not considered medical devices, so they're classified as "novelty items." Therefore, it's important to have some awareness about the chemical makeup in your sex toys to avoid any dangerous compounds.

The exact material of your toy plays a heavy consideration here, and body-safe materials are king. "Don't use toys made from anything besides silicone, borosilicate glass, or stainless steel. It's OK if a handle is made of ABS plastic, but anything going on or in your bits needs to be body-safe," Wright says.

Lauren Consul, LMFT, agrees and recommends choosing a toy that is non-porous and easy to clean, such as those made out of materials like medical-grade silicone, stainless steel, or a non-porous plastic.

You can't find the right toy unless you know what makes your body tick. Think about what you already like in bed and then look for a toy that fits the bill.

"For example, if you really like using your fingers in a fast, pressure-filled way on and around your clitoris, try something that vibrates on and around your clitoris," Wright advises.

Not sure what you like yet? No problem.

Sex toy hygiene is super important. Not only does it protect your body from infection, it also increases the lifespan of your toys.

Wright recommends using a sex toy cleaner that's gentle enough for the genitals but also strong enough to get rid of bacteria. "How you clean a toy varies depending on the material that the toy is made out of,” she says—so read the brand’s instructions carefully.

“Some say gentle soap and water is fine,” Wright explains. “However, there are so many variables when it comes to the ingredients in soap that I prefer to use something I know isn't going to mess up vaginal pH."

Finding the best sex toy requires a bit of research and experimentation. Thankfully, our team tested dozens of sex toys to help narrow it down. Use this expert-guided list as a starting point to help fulfill your sexual needs and stay curious about what turns you on—and don ’t be afraid to try more than one. After all, a better sex life leads to better well-being.
