The Best Sex Toys I Tried in 2022

10 toys that blew my socks off in 2022

I wasn’t sure I’d be able to put together a list of my favorite toys this year.

Which really bummed me out. I really enjoyed putting one together for 2021 and I was looking forward to doing it all over again.

But 2022 has been a weird year for me.

I hit a really rough patch a few months in because of some health stuff I was dealing with. It took me a long time to pull myself out of it and get back on track.

That slowed me down big time. It messed with my work. And worse, it made it really hard to get horny.

So, I didn’t masturbate nearly as much as I should’ve.

Which means I have a bunch of toys I still didn’t try. And a bunch of toys I didn’t ask for, either.

Not exactly my sexiest year.

Still, it wasn’t all bad. I didn’t review as many toys as I wanted to, but I still got to play with some impressive ones. Some of them were so amazing that I ended up masturbating more just so I could use them again and again. And some were so pleasurable that they helped me make up for all the jill off sessions I missed.

They’re so fucking good I couldn’t end the year without gushing about them one more time.

So, here they are - my ten favorite new toys from this year.

Magic Wand Mini

I had wanted to try the original Magic Wand for as long as I could remember.

It looked so powerful, sturdy, and industrial. It wasn’t really a toy - it was more like a machine.

It kept showing up in hot BDSM porn, too. I’d see one lady after another getting tied down and pleasured with a wand, pushing their pleasure to the limit.

It made them seem so submissive. It made them seem overpowered, helpless, and in horny heaven.

And that made me jealous. Watching it was a major turn on, but I wanted to experience it too.

At least, I thought I did. Then I felt just how strong those vibrations are. They were so powerful, my sensitive clit couldn’t handle them - at all.

The fantasy of being pleasured with a Magic Wand was still incredibly hot. But I gave up on trying to make it a reality.

Then the Magic Wand Mini showed up on my doorstep and changed my life.

It’s smaller than the original. Cordless, too. But the best part is the power. The vibrations are still strong, but there are some gentler settings on this one that I can use without obliterating my clit.

It was love at first orgasm. It got me off so well, I feel extra subby every time it’s pressed against my pussy, and it makes getting pleasured by my husband feel kinkier.

Just hearing the vibrations is enough to turn me on like you wouldn’t believe.

I didn’t hold onto the original Magic Wand, but I’m pretty sure I’m going to keep the Mini forever.

Lust Dual Rider

I really like playing around with my toys, finding different ways to pleasure myself, and making sure there’s plenty of variety when I’m masturbating.

But when it’s time to get down to business, I’m all about grinding.

It’s what I do when I want to come extra hard and give myself a super satisfying orgasm. I’ll get on top of a toy, move my hips, and rub my pussy against it until I hit a big finish.

It’s such a great way to get off and it works with all sorts of toys. Wands, bullets, rabbits - pretty much anything that vibrates.

I grind pretty much all my toys, but this year I decided to try one that’s actually made for grinding.

The Lust Dual Rider is basically a vibrating pad with two textured humps - one for your pussy and a smaller one if you’re in the mood to tease and stimulate your asshole at the same time.

And it’s so, so good.

It does a really good job of distributing the vibrations all over the surface so you get to fully enjoy them. It’s got a flat back and stays in place so you can really go at it. And rubbing against it just feels right - like I finally have a toy that understands the way I really like to masturbate.

Womanizer Premium 2

A few years ago, I kept hearing about the Womanizer and how great it was.

That it was a revolutionary orgasm machine. That it felt like great oral sex. That you might throw out all your vibrators when you feel the way it sucks your clit. All sorts of amazing stuff.

And I felt totally left out. I had already tried a clit sucking toy and it didn’t blow my mind at all. It was just like my misadventure with the Magic Wand - way too intense for my poor sensitive pussy.

Everyone was having a grand old time getting their clits sucked - everyone except me.

That changed when I got the Dame Aer. It was a smooth, gorgeous clit sucker that didn’t overpower me - but still pulled the orgasms right out of my body.

Then there was the Lelo Sila. It was small, cute, and did all the right things to my clit.

After that, I was ready to finally try the Womanizer. And I waited so long I actually got to try something even more advanced - the Womanizer Premium 2.

I don’t know how it compares to the original. I have no idea if it’s a major upgrade or what. All I know is that it’s the first toy I grab when I’m in the mood for some suction.

It’s not quite as cute as the Aer or the Sila. It feels a little bit bulky compared to them, too. But it’s hella reliable.

It gives my clit amazing, intense stimulation every single time. The orgasms are always powerful. And the difference between the settings are subtle enough that I don’t have to leave it on the lowest suction to get myself off. I can actually enjoy different sensations with it, which is definitely a plus.

Britney

I was a little worried that getting a third sex doll would be a little too much.

I already had a beautiful torso doll I could have my way with whenever the mood hits. And I had the Rough Rider for those times I feel like using a doll with a dick.

But as soon as I pulled Britney out of her box, I knew I made the right decision.

She’s one of the dolls that Tantaly advertises as having big boobs, and they weren’t kidding about that. Her tits are big and so satisfying to squeeze. They even bounce when you bang her.

She’s curvy, too. With a very juicy butt that pops when you’ve got her on her stomach.

Her skin feels amazing and every part of her is gorgeously detailed.

I got so turned on the first time I played with her that I fully lost track of time. I eventually had to make myself stop - even though I didn’t want to.

Normally, I’d rush to write a review after playing with a toy that’s this good and this much fun. I held back, though. I want to fuck her with Mr. Austin before I type a single word. Because I’m already over the moon for Britney, but I bet I’ll love her even more after double teaming her.

King Cock Elite

I’ve got a pretty good idea of what I like in a dildo. And the King Cock Elite has it all.

They have a super realistic look, right down to the veins and the way the head is shaped. The silicone they’re made from has a really nice texture, too.

The size options are awesome, too. Some of the King Cock dildos I own are ridiculously big - like, so big you can barely fuck yourself with them. But the King Cock Elites I’ve used are way more manageable.

They’re still big dicks, but the kind of big dick you might actually encounter in a hookup - not sizes that make you feel like you’re getting fisted.

And they’re surprisingly flexible, which I really appreciate. It makes using them way more comfortable and helps them hit all the right spots.

I got two King Cock Elites this year, which was super convenient. Because as soon as I started playing with them, I realized they’d be perfect for anal.

I decided to make my longer, slimmer King Cock Elite the one I used exclusively for buttstuff. So now I can say that it’s not just my favorite new dildo - it’s also the best toy I’ve had in my ass this year.

Lovense Flexer

Lovense makes all my favorite wearable and remote controlled vibrators.

I especially love the Lush. It’s an internal vibrator that makes me hella horny every single time I use it.

The Ferri is really good, too. It’s a great little panty vibrator that makes long distance action really playful.

So, the new Flexer had some stiff competition.

And it still managed to blow it out of the water.

It’s a dual vibrator, so it gives internal vibrations while also pleasuring the clit. It’s wearable and easy to control so you can have all sorts of naughty fun with it - by yourself or with someone else.

But the best part is the flexing.

It’s supposed to imitate the come hither motion you get from being fingered well. And yeah, it definitely does that. But it also moves the external portion of the toy, so it pushes against your clit with the same rhythm that’s hitting your G-spot.

When I felt all those things happening to my pussy, I was incredibly impressed. It was intense, incredibly pleasurable, and a one-way ticket to lots of blended orgasms.

I knew the Flexer was supposed to be a fingering vibrator. I just didn’t realize it was going to finger me like a goddamn professional.

Her Ultimate Pleasure Pro

The Her Ultimate Pleasure is a toy that’s really close to my heart - and my pussy.

It’s a bit of a weird looking toy. It’s basically a pussy pump with a mechanical tongue.

And it turns out those two things work together perfectly.

The tongue is really pleasurable on its own. But pumping your pussy makes it more sensitive, which makes the mechanical oral sex even more pleasurable. It also draws up your clit with every suck, which makes every lick feel even more satisfying.

It’s a great pussy eating toy that I just had to include last year’s list of my favorite toys - and still used plenty this year.

It was already an incredible toy, but this year they managed to level it up.

The Her Ultimate Pleasure Pro keeps the whole pussy pump and mechanical tongue combo. But this one adds an insertable vibrator.

So you’ve got a toy that eats you out and pleasures you internally at the same time.

And I kind of worried it would be too much. Or that it would be kind of awkward to use a toy that does so many things at once.

But nope. It wasn’t either of those things. It was just a fantastic orgasm machine.

Even better than the original, if you ask me. And that one was already amazing.

All That Glimmers Wand

Full confession - I got this toy because it’s fucking adorable.

It’s a sparkly, glittery wand that comes in blue, white, pink, and rainbow - and they all look great.

It also comes with a bunch of fun little accessories and goodies, which I find very exciting.

I had already made peace with the fact that I was just getting it for the aesthetics. If it wasn’t the best vibrator, it would at least look great in my toy collection.

But then I actually played with the All That Glimmers Wand and found out that it’s way more than just a pretty little thing.

It’s really light, which makes it really easy to handle and use for an extended masturbation session.

The handle is comfortable to hold and gives you plenty of reach, which is awesome.

And it has rumbly vibrations that do a great job of making me come.

The fact that it’s cute as hell is just a really nice bonus.

Max 2

This year, I got to try three Lovense dick toys - with a bit of help from Mr. Austin.

The Gush was the first one. It’s a cool little cock vibrator. It’s compact, wraps around the dick, and gives it vibrations from every side.

Then there’s the Calor. It doesn’t look like much, but it works surprisingly well. It’s smooth, squeezable, and has a warming feature - everything you need to make a cock feel as good as it should.

I’m really fond of them both. But if I had to pick just one Lovense dick toy, I’d have to go with the Max 2.

It has a textured inner sleeve for extra stimulation. It has vibration options. It has an air pump that can give gentle contractions if you want to add some pressure.

It does a lot, basically. And that makes it an especially good option if you want to sync your toy with a porn scene.

The Max 2 is bulkier and less simple than the Gush or the Calor. But if I had a dick, I know I’d be sticking it in the Max 2 first.

Humphrey

Toy mounts are really cool because they let you get even more fun out of your sex toys.

They hold your vibrators, dildos, or strokers in place so you can use them hands-free. I’ve got one that lets me rock on top of my favorite dildos so I can get a good, deep thrust going. Mr. Austin has one that lets him fuck his Fleshlight instead of stroking off with it.

And now I’ve got one that’s even better than those.

It’s called the Humphrey and it’s basically the ultimate sex pillow.

It has a small pocket you can slip a bullet vibrator into and a bigger one that can hold a dildo, a wand, a rabbit, or pretty much any vibrator.

Once the toys are in place, all you have to do is straddle the Humphrey. You can ride, hump, or grind - whatever your favorite way to get off happens to be.

I really can’t get enough of it. It makes using an already great toy even better. It’s just so fucking satisfying.

And it’s actually a decent pillow too, so I just keep it on my bed when I’m not humping it. It’s so discreet I don’t have to find space in my closet for it, which is incredibly convenient.

I’m So Glad I Got to Play With These

This year had a lot of ups and downs. But I had some great sex toys and that made it a whole lot easier.

That probably sounds like a joke, but I’m totally serious.

Because it meant I had plenty of ways to make myself feel real good.

I could also treat myself to tons of pleasure and intense orgasms instead of just getting myself off.

And I always had something incredibly fun I could do whenever I ran out of shows to watch.

Lots of toys were responsible for that, but I’m especially grateful for the ones on this list. They’re the ones that blew my mind over and over. They’re the ones that gave me shockingly strong orgasms.

They’re just plain amazing - and now I can’t wait to see if any of the toys I play with next year can top them.
