D I.Y Sex Toys: Self-Love Edition
Some of the frustration came from the way that the buttons were sunk into the silicone surface of the toy—it felt like some functionality and ease of use was sacrificed for the Strawberry’s appearance. I found the Tenuto Mini most comfortable during solo use vibrators, but it’s great with a partner, too. Using a vibrator with a partner, especially during penetration, can sometimes be a challenging (if satisfying) logistical problem. While it feels great for both of us, someone generally has to hold it in place.
And having the sex toy be the brainchild of postmenopausal women who talk openly about their experiences developing and using it? SnailVibe snagged the award for Most Innovative Sex Toy of the Year in 2020 from the adult publication XBIZ Europa Awards, and I can see why — it’s truly unique. In my time reviewing sex toys, I haven’t seen anything quite like this. Even other rabbits can look the same after a while, but none resemble escargot.
Finger vibrators either slide onto one finger (like a ring) or fit between two of them and can be used on breasts, butts, clits, or anywhere else you like. The tiny, egg-shaped Blush Novelties Aria Flutter Tongue is adorable, but we found the Evolved Tongue Tied to be a better overall choice among tongue-style vibrators (see below).

Whether you’re looking for your first vibrator or your 101st , this is the list for you. While your hands are great tools for masturbating, using a vibrator can make your ~alone time~ more fun. From bullet vibrators to those more advanced, rabbit-inspired toys, there are plenty of options out there to explore different methods of self-pleasure. Library of Medicine, vibrations increase blood flow and improve both pelvic muscle tone and relaxation, and they’re more likely to help you orgasm. “Because the surface area is small, especially at the tip, these toys will seem pretty intense to many users when they touch their clitoris or other sensitive bits,” Queen says.

However, if your toy is made of another material like glass or stainless steel, you can try using a silicone-based lubricant as well as any options mentioned above. If you’re having vaginally penetrative sex, Ohio-based obstetrician-gynecologist Kim Langdon, MD previously told Allure to stay away from oil-based lubricants at all costs. “Oil-based is not recommended because it creates a biofilm problem and can lead to vaginitis,” she warned.
With his black-panel Fender Deluxe already making its way to Red Rocks, Pollock opted for this Austen Hooks-built projector amp. Hooks built him one after Pollock fell in love with another of his builds at a Los Angeles studio. It was almost closing time when Pollock saw this Kustom K-200 hanging on a wall in a New York City guitar shop.
