We've done the vibrator test: click through our gallery!

Vibrator test: The right base First things first: **before you get started, everything should be properly wet**. This avoids tiny injuries to the sensitive mucous membranes of the vagina. You can also use a personal lubricant. Important: It should be dermatologically tested and suitable for the intimate area so as not to unbalance the pH value. We have tested the **gels from Loovara**. The stylish personal lubricants are made in Germany and have all been dermatologically tested. The "OMG! Orgasm Gel" has been specially developed for women's intimate areas and has a positive effect on pleasure thanks to its aphrodisiac effect. Guaranteed to be suitable even for sensitive skin! One tube costs approx. 13 euros and lasts for approx. 100 applications. Loovara also offers countless different lubricant variants - there is something for everyone. For example, the "#Selfie Gel", which is water-based and made without silicones. It supports healthy vaginal flora thanks to its adapted pH value and is free from perfumes or colorants. The gel is therefore also suitable for use with a partner during oral sex. One tube costs around 10 euros. Another great product variant: the "Anti-Aging Gel" from Loovara. It promotes natural moisture, especially for vaginal dryness, which often occurs during and after the menopause, or for intimate complaints. It can be used with condoms as well as sex toys and is also suitable for oral sex. Available for approx. 10 euros.

Vibrator test: To the point A woman's **G-spot** is a mystery shrouded in legend. The sensitive spot is said to be about two centimetres inside the vagina, on the front wall of the vagina towards the abdominal wall. A slightly raised, rough surface can be felt with a finger. It is debatable whether every woman reacts particularly sensitively there. However, many women achieve intense orgasms by stimulating this point. This is what so-called G-spot vibrators are designed for. They massage the G-spot with the help of technical vibrations. Our editorial team tested the **"SORAYA 2"** model **from LELO**. The sex toy manufacturer focuses on quality and demands correspondingly high prices for its products. We think: rightly so! The luxurious toy feels high-quality and the soft silicone is pleasant on the skin. The ergonomic shape and practical handle make the toy easy to handle and insert. The "Rabbit Massager" is not only equipped with a thicker tip for optimal G-spot pleasure, but also has a second, small vibrator that stimulates the clitoris. So every woman gets her money's worth - with or without a G-spot orgasm. The buttons for the vibration levels are located on the lower handle and are easy to operate at all times. The toy has 14 different programs that make it very varied to use. What's more, you can even take the vibrator into the bath because it is waterproof! The "SORAYA 2" G-spot vibrator from LELO is available here for approx. 172 euros.

Vibrator test: Massage pleasure We enjoy massages on almost every part of our body. They let us relax and can also be very erotic. Especially when it comes to the clitoris... The "**Wand-er Woman" from Satisfyer** is a massage wand with very special abilities. Be careful, don't be put off by its size. The 34 cm long device looks very powerful and is also quite heavy. This is due to the powerful vibrator in the head of the sex toy. But believe us: you won't want to miss out on this power after trying it out! The intensive massage programs of the "Wand-er Woman" not only pamper our bodies with pleasant vibrations, but also drive us crazy when used clitorally. Relaxation is sure to come without much effort! Especially great: the device is waterproof and can therefore also be taken into the bathtub. The "Wand-er-Woman" from Satisfyer is available here for around 30 euros.

Vibrator test: double the fun Small but nice! If you want something discreet but intense, the **We-Vibe "Chorus"** is the right choice. This toy provides exciting moments in bed - even with a partner. This toy can even be worn during sexual intercourse. Of course, the "Chorus" can also be enjoyed on its own. THE vibrator is actually the wrong word here: it's actually two vibrators in one! The toy is shaped like a clamp and contains a vibrator in each end. One end is inserted into the vagina and stimulates the G-spot, while the other end rests on top of the clitoris outside the vagina. This way, both hot spots are pampered at the same time! During testing, we noticed that the toy is very comfortable and does not press too hard on the sensitive areas. Particularly exciting: The "Chorus" can be navigated through the various vibration modes using a remote control. The two vibrators can also play different programs independently of each other - super exciting! If you use the toy with a partner, you can also let them take the lead... This makes for a great surprise effect. And be careful, watch out: Do you have a partner, but they are physically distant from you? Then they can even take part in (or even lead) your pleasurable moments by connecting them to the We-Vibe app on your cell phone. This allows you to exchange erotic intimacies despite the distance. The "Chorus" from We-Vibe is available here for around 200 euros.

Vibrator test: Erotic workout We've all heard about **love balls** - but what exactly are they for? Contrary to many assumptions, they are not a sex toy that can be used directly in bed. Nevertheless, love balls provide intense orgasms - in the long term. Ultimately, love balls are just small weights that are inserted into the vagina and then held in place by the vaginal muscles. This trains the vaginal muscles and also the pelvic floor. Weak muscles are often the reason why women don't have an orgasm. Love balls also help with pelvic floor weakness or after childbirth! Fortunately, we can easily counteract this with their help. Make sure you buy lightweight models for beginners and don't wear the balls too often at first. Sore muscles in this area are extremely unpleasant! Once you have worked your way up a bit, you can slowly increase the amount of time you wear them. **Miss V's vaginal balls** are suitable for beginners and are covered in medical-grade silicone. This makes them very easy to insert and easy to clean. A return strap makes removal uncomplicated. The love balls from Miss V are available here for approx. 15 euros.

Vibrator test: Versatile fun The **"Multifun"** vibrator **from Satisfyer** delivers what it promises. With its ergonomic shape, it can be used in many different ways, both for masturbation and with a partner. The Multifun contains three vibrators: in both small arms of the upper fork as well as in the shaft. The varying width of the elongated part stimulates the vagina extensively. The front part of the Multifun is particularly fun on the clitoris, but can also be used on her or his nipples. If a man is involved, he is sure to enjoy the erotic vibrations on his penis and testicles when they are gently embraced. The "Mulitfun" vibrator from Satisfyer is available here from approx. 30 euros.

Vibrator test: pleasure to go The **"Moxie" lay-on vibrator from We-Vibe** is a particularly exciting device. The toy is only about the size of a finger - but it packs a punch! Made from medical silicone, it nestles softly and comfortably against the labia when you place the device in your underpants. Because this vibrator is to go! The small sextoy can be easily attached to any item of clothing with a small magnet and is completely unnoticeable from the outside. So we can enjoy the intense vibrations anywhere - even when we're walking through the park. Incidentally, the toy's size doesn't detract at all: with different intensities and vibration programs, it massages us to climax without any effort. The best thing is that the "Moxie" from We-Vibe can even be controlled with the We-Vibe app "We-Connect". This means we can invite a partner of our choice to play along. And from anywhere in the world. So if you're in a long-distance relationship or don't have your partner nearby, you can still share exciting and erotic moments together. The "Moxie" lay-on vibrator from We-Vibe is available here for around 130 euros.

Why masturbation is healthy

Sex with yourself is still somewhat taboo. But fortunately, the days when people claimed to get pimples from masturbating are over. On the contrary, masturbation is very healthy for both the body and the mind.
For example, it has been proven that masturbation reduces stress, lifts our mood and makes us happier. When we lay hands on ourselves, the reward center in our brain is activated and the neurotransmitter dopamine is produced accordingly - and the stress hormone cortisol is lowered. The happiness hormone serotonin is also released. Orgasms even relieve headaches, have a relaxing effect and allow us to sleep better, as endorphins and the so-called cuddle hormone osytocin are released.

Enough reasons to treat yourself to a cuddly moment with yourself from time to time. In addition to our own hands, there are now a whole host of different options on the market: vibrators, love balls, dildos and other sex toys are just waiting to enrich our love lives - whether for masturbation or for use with a partner. But what makes a good vibrator and what should you look out for when buying one?

Buying a vibrator: What you need to look out for

Before buying, you should be clear about what you expect from the toy. Those who are just starting out with sex toys are looking for something different than experienced women or couples. Ask yourself these questions:

What purpose do you want the toy to fulfill? (Alone, as a couple, vaginal, clitoral, anal...)
What are my priorities? (Appearance, intensity, size, shape, durability...)
What do I expect from the device? (fancy gadgets, classically simple, waterproof...)

If you have specific expectations, you won't be so overwhelmed by the huge range on the market. You can either get specific advice or filter out the features that are important to you in the online store.

Features of a good vibrator

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to what makes a perfect vibrator. It definitely depends on the user's taste and intentions. However, some important basics should definitely be considered when buying a sex toy.

The material:
The materials used to make the toy should be environmentally friendly and naturally kind to the skin. They should also be free from harmful substances such as plasticizers. The most popular dildo material these days is medical silicone. It meets the above requirements and is super comfortable. The slippery material is also particularly easy to clean. Also well suited: Toys made of glass, metal, stone or ABS plastics.

The battery:
Is the device battery or rechargeable battery powered? Think about which option is right for you. The latter is rechargeable, but needs to be plugged in regularly. A good runtime is therefore an important factor here.

The features:
Most vibrators these days no longer just buzz monotonously - there are countless levels and strengths to prolong the pleasure and add variety to the stimulation. Again, consider your own preferences: do you prefer it uncomplicated or is it important to you to have many different programs to choose from? Pay attention to the information on the packaging.
