4 Sex Toys That Actually Understand How Women Get Off

Masturbate the way you really want to

Maybe I was just young and naive. Maybe I was a bit sheltered, the way every small town girl has to be. But I really don’t remember seeing a lot of sex toys that seemed like they were designed by women.

Not until recently.

You had your dildos, your buttplugs, and every kind of bullet vibrator you could imagine. You had those rabbit vibes that moved three or four different ways at once. I saw the occasional sex machine and all sorts of really intense bondage gear, too.

And the Magic Wand, obviously. That one’s basically been top dog ever since it hit the scene.

But no matter how much porn I watched or how often I walked through the local sex shop, I never saw any toys that were designed to fit my personal masturbation styles.

Which didn’t bother me that much, to be honest. Toys were still incredibly exciting to me and there was a decent amount of variety. Give me a wand vibrator and a suction cup dildo and I’ll find seventeen different ways to play with them.

But as much fun as they were, I kept wondering if women were actually involved in designing a lot of the toys I came across. Because there were a few ways of hitting a good climax that weren’t being represented by them.

Penetration’s a fucking good time. Vibrations always feel amazing against the clit. But leave women to their own devices and that’s not the only thing we’ll do to ourselves.

We’ll get off with that one stuffie we refuse to get rid of. We’ll get real creative in the shower. We’ll hump things we’ll never ever admit to humping.

It feels so good that once we get a taste of it, we never really stop - even after getting three or four vibrators. Because there’s something about it that just feels right.

And sex toys have finally caught up. I keep finding new ones that actually cater to the way a lot of women prefer to masturbate. They’re pretty much all great, but these are my current favorites.

The Lust Dual Rider - For Girls Who Love Grinding

I used to be kind of embarrassed by the way I masturbate.

It felt really fucking good, but I was sure I was doing it wrong.

Because every time I saw some lady touching herself, she was either on her back or sitting up with her legs spread.

All the vibrators I saw looked like they were meant for those positions, too. Something you can hold and rub in circles around your clit like a proper lady.

I wasn’t doing it like a proper lady, though. I was doing it like some kind of sex turtle.

I could lie on my back and touch myself like anyone else. But if I really wanted a big finish, I’d lie on my stomach and grind my pussy against something.

That’s what felt natural to me. It’s what gave me the most pleasure. But it also made me feel really self-conscious about masturbating with my partner.

It really shouldn’t have. Because every kind of masturbation is perfectly fine - even the weird kinds.

And it wasn’t even that weird. Eventually, I found out that lots of other women masturbate on their stomachs too - maybe even most of them for all I know.

Plus, after seeing a few videos of girls grinding I learned that being a sex turtle can actually be really fucking hot.

So, I made peace with being a face-down masturbator. I even found a few different vibrators that I could grind pretty comfortably.

But the Lust Dual Rider is the first one I tried that was actually made for it. And I could feel the difference as soon as I was on top of it.

It’s got a nice big vibrating surface area so you can get constant stimulation all over your pussy while you’re rubbing up against it.

It works really well when it’s on top of a pillow - then you can really lie on top of it and feel the vibrations pressing into you. It’s great on a chair too if you like to grind cowgirl style.

And it’s got a second vibrating surface that can tease your asshole while you’re riding if that’s your jam. That’s not something I expected in a grinding toy, but it’s definitely something I appreciate about it.

But mostly, it just feels really good to finally be able to use a toy that’s actually made for my favorite masturbation style.

The Snail Vibe - For Women Who Want Constant Stimulation

That young naive Emma I mentioned earlier, she wanted to try a rabbit vibrator so badly.

As soon as I walked into a sex shop, I’d see one or two of them sitting pretty on the counter. It’s like they were just patiently waiting for a G-spot to rub and a clit to tickle.

But when I was done counting the coins in my purse, I knew it wouldn’t be tickling mine.

Years later, I managed to get my hands on one. Actually, I got to try a few.

And they were a whole lot of fun to play with. But they were also a teensy bit disappointing.

In theory, a rabbit vibrator is basically perfect. You get to fuck yourself with a toy that vibrates your clit and your G-spot at the same time. If that’s not a good time, I don’t know what is.

In reality, it doesn’t quite live up to that promise. You’ll get plenty of G-spot vibrations, but not quite as much of it on your clit.

Every time you thrust the toy, you bring the vibrating rabbit ear up to your clit - and then you pull it away. So it’s more like a tease, especially if you’re really vigorous with it.

And of course you love to fuck yourself vigorously - that’s half the fun.

So, you compromise. Long, fast thrusts with a gentle tease from the vibrating bunny ears. Or a slow, shallow fuck so you can feel all the vibrations.

They’re both fine ways to get off, but you have to pick one.

Unless you’re using the Snail Vibe.

I didn’t even know the Snail Vibe was a rabbit until I got it. I agreed to try it because it looked kind of weird and I’m down for the occasional strange experiment.

But when I tried it, I realized it’s not a weird little thing - it’s a solution to a problem that’s plagued horny women for too long.

Instead of a rabbit ear, some absolutely genius shaped it like a vibrating snail shell. It curls up on itself and unfurls when the rest of the toy goes inside you.

That means the snail shell never leaves your clit. It’s just non-stop vibrations - inside and out.

And that constant stimulation means finally getting to experience the kind of intense blended orgasms we all wanted our rabbit vibes to give us from the beginning.

The Humphrey - For Lifelong Pillow Humpers

So, I’m not just a grinder. I’m also a pillow humper.

Pretty sure those two things go hand in hand, but there’s something unique about humping a pillow.

It’s the right mix of softness and firmness. Lying on the pillow, straddling it, tucking it between your thighs - no matter how you do it, it feels really comfortable.

It’s basically the closest you’ll ever come to fucking a cloud.

I’ve had a few decent sex pillows over the years. But now they’re all second banana because I have a Humphrey.

It’s a really cool sex toy mount. It can hold a dildo or a couple of vibrators to make them easier to ride.

But because it’s a sex toy mount that’s shaped like a pillow, climbing on top of it has that extremely familiar and satisfying feel.

It’s also great as a regular humping pillow, without any toys mounted on. But I strongly prefer using it as a pillow that will give me vibrations, penetration, and maybe even some decent thrusting.

And it’s got to be the most discreet sex toy I own. Throw a pillow case on it and you can keep it right on the bed without anyone ever having to know you mount it to get your jollies off.

The Wave - For Ladies Who Never Waste a Good Shower

I didn’t always masturbate on my stomach. Sometimes, I’ll do it standing up.

Masturbating while standing isn’t the kind of thing that would’ve normally occurred to me. Maybe if I had a dick, but I can only have one by strapping up.

But then one day, I was rinsing off in the shower and I made a thrilling discovery. I learned that the massaging showerhead that was helping me get squeaky clean could also make me come.

And that’s not the kind of thing you forget. That’s the kind of thing you keep trying over and over - just to make sure it still works, of course.

So, I’d finish off pretty much every shower the same way - with a very, very wet climax.

I knew I wasn’t the only one doing that. Every lady with a detachable showerhead has it for the same reason.

I didn’t actually expect anyone to turn it into a sex toy, though.

But by golly they did. And now I’ve got the Wave permanently attached to my shower fixtures.

It’s not the first showerhead you can get off with, but it’s the first one specifically made for it.

And you can tell it was because it has really simple and intuitive ways to change the settings and the intensity, so you can adjust the sensation without interrupting your dirty thoughts.

It also has a really cool swirly setting that sprays water in a circular pattern, which is exactly the kind of thing my clit responds well to.

There’s just no better way to end a shower.

All the Sensations Your Body Wants

I have no problem with all the other kinds of toys you can mess around with. I use a bunch of them and I’m pleased as a peach when I do.

There’s a reason I had to take up an entire closet shelf just to organize my dildos.

And I recently got into wands in a big way. I’ve got a rotation going, with my cute sparkly princess wand when I want something cute, my Magic Wand Mini when I’m looking for something reliable, and a few others when I’m in the mood for variety.

I could have a lifetime’s worth of orgasms just with those.

But I’m really glad there are more options available. And my pussy really feels seen by the ones that are made for grinding and humping.

It’s something my body wants. Sometimes it wants it so badly I can’t ignore it - my hips just start moving.

Now I finally have sex toys that can give me those exact sensations - only stronger and better.

And nothing feels better than giving your body the kind of pleasure it really needs.
