There’s something so satisfying about a good solid silicone vibrating dildo.
Much like a magic wand, it’s a staple in almost anyone’s toy chest. You can use it as a dildo when the batteries are dead, as a vibrator when you’re not feeling penetration, or as both when you’re feeling opulent!
With so many options out there, and most being made out of unsafe materials, it can be overwhelming to try to find one that’s a good bang for your buck (pun intended).
This is why I’ve tried out a wide selection of the best vibrating dildos to help narrow down your selection to what suits you perfectly. (Warning: you still might have trouble picking between one or two… so treat yourself, and get both!)

Yummy Sunshine by Satisfyer
Satisfyer has had a whirlwind of success in the last decade. Their affordable air-pulse toys have been staples in nightstands due to their power, but how do their vibrating dildos compare?
Materials 4/5
I love the squishy silicone shaft, and find it to be kind of like a unicorn in this way! Rarely do I ever find vibrating dildos with such a squishy shaft and head, and it was quite a surprise. We have a looped handle, so you know I’m into that, and it’s a combination of shiny plastic with silicone wrapping around the base.
Obviously, with a name like “Yummy Sunshine”, the color does not disappoint. It’s rare to find toys that aren’t in the typical shades of black/pink/purple (or the latest aqua trend), and I love that it sets it apart!
Features 5/5
Besides being waterproof (which is becoming more of an industry-standard), the main pull of this toy is that it’s meant to be angled perfectly for hitting the G-spot. There are ridges and texture galore on the shaft of the toy, and for some, that’s going to be a plus! Sadly for me, it’s just a bit too textured for my personal taste so I’m not demoting points for that.
A big plus? Like most of Satisfyer’s toys, it can connect and be controlled via Bluetooth and a smartphone app! For people who are in long-distance relationships, this can be a hugely beneficial feature, especially since the app is one of the best on the app store right now.
Of course, the loop handle is awesome, but it’s also clearly a rip-off of the classic Fun Factory Vibes ( more on this later! ).
Sensations 3.5/5
I really wanted to adore this toy, considering how much I’ve loved their toys in the past but sadly the vibrations were kind of lackluster for me. They’re not bad, but compared to the others on the list they’re slightly forgettable.
If you’re someone who doesn’t need jackhammer-level power to get off and want an affordable toy that allows for you and your sweetheart (or a sexy stranger) to play around, this is probably the ideal toy. Heck, if you’re considering it but aren’t too sure, I’d still strongly suggest picking it up as a sexy treat for yourself!
WHERE TO BUY
Colours Pleasures by NS Novelties
Almost everyone I know has bought a Colours dildo as their first toy! The toy is kind of the typical realistic dildo vibrator and does its job very well, and while some people might turn their nose up at the smaller to average size, I think this would be a perfect toy for someone who’s just starting to figure out what they like.
(Or for anal, always for anal.)
Materials 5/5
Similar to the Neo Elite Encore, this toy is made of super squishy silicone. At first, it can feel sticky to the touch but becomes very slick with a little bit of lubricant (my favorite type of silicone!).
Features 3.5/5
This is a very straightforward toy with no bells and whistles. There’s one motor near the head of the shaft that straddles the line between buzzy and rumbly, and it does a great job!
The toy is very flexible as well, another reason why I find it a perfect first toy (or for anal).
Sensations 3.5/5
It’s a very nice vibrator! Unfortunately, compared to the others on this list, it comes off as a bit unremarkable. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but for someone like myself who’s been using toys for more than a decade, I’m just not the target audience.
The vibrations are average to moderate in strength, and the veins on the toy were an enjoyable added texture. For myself, I can see using this with a partner who’s not into oversized toys but otherwise, this realistic vibrating dildo is pretty average across all categories. It’s absolutely one I’d recommend for a newcomer, but if you’ve already developed a taste for motorized dick… I’d maybe skip this one.
WHERE TO BUY
Iroha Mikazuki
This is a stunning toy, and it feels like such a different overall experience than the traditional North American sex toy experience that I cannot overemphasize the difference.
I’m thrilled when a toy I review comes with a little fabric drawstring bag to store it in, but the Mikazuki came with a beautiful plastic box that feels like you’re storing a family heirloom. (Did I mention that it also charges the toy?)
Materials 5/5
The Iroha Mikazuki is made out of a plush slightly squishy silicone body similar to their Iroha Kishunezumi grinding vibrator. It feels like there’s air between the layers of silicone, offering a fantastically gentle experience for anyone looking to try this toy out.
Features 4/5
One of the biggest features to rave about is the privacy this toy offers. It’s an extremely demure toy, you wouldn’t immediately see it and recognize that it’s definitely a sex toy, and that’s a huge plus for people with children or parents who snoop through their stuff.
To charge the toy, you simply put it in the charging box and close the lid. No one will suspect that underneath is hiding a sophisticated fucking tool meant for classy people! (Let’s be honest, those folks are the freakiest.)
Just keep in mind that this is not safe for anal since it doesn’t have a flared base!
Sensations 3/5
The Mikazuki features soft vibrations that are more on the buzzier side. For someone who is looking for a gentler touch, this will satisfy you while not being overwhelming or numbing.
Regarding the overall shape of the toy, I feel like it personally leaves a bit to be desired. What do you call whatever is the opposite of a size queen? A precision peasant? A gentle elf? This is the toy for that person, for someone who doesn’t want an extremely phallic insertable vibrator and needs a gentle touch.
WHERE TO BUY
Impressions by Blush
Some people just don’t like dicks. That’s okay! We’re here for all flavors and interests, but sometimes it can be hard to find a strong vibrating dildo that isn’t trying to replicate every vein perfectly. What’s a person to do? Uh, do the Impressions Amsterdam! It’s only one of the many different shapes and sizes offered from their line of ultra-strong and very affordable vibrating dildos.
Materials 5/5
The Impressions Amsterdam, previously known as the N1, has a soft and velvety silicone exterior similar to the Big Boss or Yummy Sunshine. It feels luxurious and soft while the core is quite firm.
Features 4/5
While there are no hyper-tech features like a smartphone app or remote control, the toy has exactly what you’re looking for… strong and consistent vibrations! This is perfect for the person who doesn’t want to have an “Uncanny Valley” level of realism that some other toys try to achieve while providing you with all the best vibration and stimulation around.
It’s waterproof and also features a suction cup, which actually holds the toy firmly in place no matter if it’s horizontal or vertical (or diagonal for those real freaks out there).
Sensations 5/5
I’m impressed! The vibrations are very strong, and while the shape of the toy isn’t exactly to my liking, the vibrations were more than enough to be felt and thoroughly enjoyed. Take a peek at their lineup, and you’ll definitely find something that fits your ideal shape and size for a budget price.
WHERE TO BUY
Rialto by VeDo
I will admit something right off the bat: when I first wrapped my hands around the Rialto, I wasn’t impressed. I’m into dense silicone toys (the heavier the better), and the shaft of the Rialto felt slightly hollow in a way that put me off. I was prepared to be a scathingly shrewd critic until I tried it!
Materials 3/5
The body is made of silicone but seems to be a kind of sheath over the inner motorized core of the toy. To the touch, the quality of the silicone is actually quite nice! It’s both velvety while being shockingly smooth and cool to the touch.
The downside, for me, is the fact that from the head to mid-shaft the toy feels hollow. If you wrap your hands around it, the silicone sheath sticks to the hardcore. The sensation is very unpleasant and puts a bad taste in my… uh, vag.
Features 4/5
While the Rialto doesn’t have any of the bells and whistles of the other toys on this list like smartphone apps or a controller, it does have two motors. What sets the Rialto apart from toys like the Ballistic is that the two motors don’t aim to overstimulate you with power, but add complexity to vibration patterns!
(Oh also it’s waterproof, but you probably guessed that by now.)
Sensations 4/5
This is Rialto’s redeeming feature, in my eyes. The patterns were shockingly good! They’re so well engineered that I actually exclaimed, “oh wow” out loud to no one.
So you know how some toys have patterns like waves where it goes up and down in strength? The Rialto’s patterns don’t seem to ever turn off but juggle back and forth between the two motors. Personally, patterns can kind of titillate but frustrate me when they power down to nothing. I want my partners to tease me, not my toys! The Rialto keeps you in near-constant stimulation, with rumbly vibrations that surprised me after my lukewarm first impression of the toy.
Too bad the body of the toy still bugs me. It’s so close to being a fantastic vibe but the material still leaves something to be desired.
WHERE TO BUY
Neo Elite Encore by Blush
I literally gasped when I opened the box to view this bad boy. It’s a big vibrator if I’ve ever seen one! And big vibrators that are also body-safe are almost impossible to find!
It’s not just an impressive 8.5 inches long, but this huge vibrating dildo is also 1.8 inches thick making it one of the biggest vibrators that is also body-safe! To some, this might not seem like a lot, but when you grip it in person you start to understand that this toy means business.
Materials 5/5
I don’t know what it is but this big vibrating dildo is everything I didn’t know I wanted. It’s got an incredibly squishy silicone body while not being so dense that it blocks out the sensations of the vibe.
The toy’s color is also quite unique; the inner flexible core of the toy seems to be a solid purple shade, while the squishy silicone exterior is a frosted white. It makes the toy look slightly fantastical, and makes me think of some kind of purple Hulk.
Features 4/5
The Neo Elite Encore has nearly got it all! It’s waterproof, flexible (and holds its shape), and comes with a remote for easier solo or partner play. The fact that the design also has balls means that it is also anal-safe! The only thing it doesn’t have is a smartphone app, which would actually make it a heaven-sent toy and possibly ruin partnered sex for me forever.
There’s also a suction cup, but similar to the issue with the Ballistic, I found it would often fall off the wall of my tub. (And yes, I know, I test a lot of my toys in the shower.) It doesn’t mean the suction cup is totally useless though, as it helped stabilize the toy if you ride it!
Sensations 5/5
This large vibrating dildo is so satisfying that I wanted to lay back down and smoke a cigarette with this toy (despite being a nonsmoker).
With loads of water-based lube, the slightly sticky silicone turns into a slick dick worth fucking. The size is similar to the Big Boss, but as this type of silicone is much squishier it’s easier to insert and feels delightful inside. I was convinced that the vibrations were likely going to be meek and weak, but holy cannoli they’re powerful, which is a rarity when it comes to large vibrators!
While this is the one of biggest & best dildo vibrators I’ve had my hands on ( larger than what I’d usually grab after a long day of work ) I will definitely keep it close by when I’m feeling truly hedonistic.
WHERE TO BUY
Lovense Mission 2
The Lovense Mission 2 is a toy with two identities. Like a sexy alter ego, it’s a vibe with a mission: pleasure for you in many forms. It looks like a simple vibrating dildo, but holds a sexy secret! It’s not just a solo toy, but a toy you can use with anyone in the world through the app.
So not only does it vibrate based on how you ride the toy, but it can also be used to control other toys like the Lovense Gemini or the Solace Pro. This turns a video chat jerk off session into a fully interactive experience, perfect for those in long distance relationships or camming.
Materials 4/5
The Mission 2 is extremely similar to the Lovense Gravity in style and appearance. Both are made out of a firm and velvety raspberry red silicone, but the Mission 2 is more padded and features a squishier tip for comfortable penetration.
Features 5/5
This is where the Mission 2 shines. As previously mentioned, the toy has two main important functions: solo play, and then with other Lovense toys.
As a solo toy, the Mission 2 is an interesting choice! As you ride the dildo, the vibrations react in real-time and go faster or slower depending on how fast you thrust or how deep you go. This is definitely for the type of person who loves a dildo that can thrust fast but wants a little more zing to their fucking session.
Being in a long distance relationship can be tough, especially when navigating it as horny adults living in an ever intensifying world. How else do you blow off some steam when you can’t blow each other? Lovense Mission 2 is out here, trying to keep couples together with the power of strong vibrations!
Sensations 3.5/5
I will be honest: I don’t think I’m the target audience for the Mission 2. While I love everything innovative and connective about the Mission 2, I find the sensations of the toy a bit boring for me.
This isn’t a boring toy by any stretch of the definition, but if I’m going to ride a dildo I personally prefer vibrations to remain mostly stable & constant.
However, if you’re looking for a fun way to add some sizzle to your next pegging session or long-distance anonymous hookup, you can’t go wrong with this extremely multipurpose toy!
WHERE TO BUY
Lovense Gravity
One of the most underappreciated thrusting toys at first glance, the Gravity will knock your socks off if you let it. This isn’t just a simple vibrating dildo! It’s as close as you can get to a whole ass fucking machine that easily slips into a bedside drawer.
Materials 4/5
The Mission 2 is made out of a beautifully firm, silky smooth silicone. I personally love toys that have a bit more plushness, a bit more squish to them but it makes sense that wouldn’t be the case for a toy that prioritizes vibrations.
What I adore about the Lovense Gravity is it uses metal for any additional attachments. For example, the suction cup is removable and doesn’t just “stick” to the shaft of the toy but actually screws in with a large metal screw. This really makes the toy feel like it’s crafted out of the best, toughest material to last years to come.
Features 5/5
If there’s something I’ve learned from all my years of testing toys, it’s that it’s hard to beat Lovense on their Features. The Gravity is substantially packed to the gills with features!
First: vibrations. They’re low to mid, and a nice mix of rumbly and buzzy. Generally, I don’t find myself turning the vibrations on when I use the Mission because they feel a bit overshadowed by the rest of the toy’s features… largely, the thrusting.
This bad boy is a non-stop thrusting machine. You can attach the suction cup to any surface, and just let the toy do what it does best: fuck you into oblivion.
Now this doesn’t have to be a solo affair either. Just when you thought the Lovense couldn’t get any better, imagine being able to have a lover or friend or penpal control the toy’s strokes and patterns and vibrations over an app from their phone, anywhere in the world!
Does your partner have a compatible Lovense toy? With the Gravity, you can connect and control each other’s toy purely by using it as you want. This is the future!
Sensations 5/5
This feels so much better than you can imagine.
It feels easy to use, not intimidating at all for someone who might not want something extreme and isn’t so textured that it feels irritating. (Note: even as smooth as the Gravity feels, you still want a hefty amount of lube!)
WHERE TO BUY
Lelo Boomerang
The Lelo Boomerang will have you coming back for more, seriously.
But before we get to the positives, let me get a little blunt here: the Lelo Boomerang is a double dildo, and meant to be used exclusively with pussies/front holes/vaginas. There isn’t a flared base, so it is not recommended to use this in any other hole. So, sadly, anal is off the table with the Boomerang!
This toy is really powerful, especially for an internal vibrator!
If you’re familiar with silicone double dildos, you’ll no doubt see the appeal of the Boomerang: both ends of the toy have incredible motors, meaning you and your partner can fuck the toy simultaneously while enjoying intense vibrations! It is ideal for people who find they need more stimulation than just penetration.
The main difference with the Boomerang and regular squishy silicone ones is that this one is not as flexible, so you might have to work a little to find the perfect angle for you and your partner. There is a light amount of silicone over the toy with grooves for texture, but just enough that the vibrations don’t get totally silenced.
Is the app amazing? Yes! You can control your toy with so many different manual or advanced settings.
There are some modes where you can feel a kind of “push and pull” vibration, which totally amplifies the intimacy! But no matter where I looked, I couldn’t find the option to turn one motor on low and the other on high (for example).
So what I think is desperately missing from the Boomerang is for the motors to be controlled together and separately.
I’ve been with partners who are super sensitive to vibrations, whereas I needed enough stimulation to wake the dead; it would be nice to be able to customize it more. Being able to more easily control each side when you just want vanilla vibes would take the Boomerang from great to excellent!
WHERE TO BUY
Powerhouse by Gender X
This is the love child of a magic wand, a beautiful dildo, and a bullet vibrator!
It might not be as eye-catching compared to the literal flashing lights of Gender X’s other featured toys, but it’s definitely the toy I would recommend first.
Materials 5/5
The body of the toy is also covered in a soft matte squishy silicone, so it feels less clinical than your typical slim vibrating pocket-rocket.
Features 5/5
Vibrators like these seem overly simple but they’re considered classics for a good reason: you can use them internally as a vibrating dildo, or externally as an oversized bullet vibrator!
It’s rare that I recommend toys that are “multi-use”, but this one absolutely passes the test!
Sensations 4/5
The Gender X Powerhouse is more powerful than most bullet vibrators, let alone vibrating silicone dildos, and twice as rumbly.
This is a classic toy made modern, and highly recommended by me.
WHERE TO BUY
Ballistic Dual Stimulation by Evolved Novelties
I’m not sure why I wasn’t expecting much from the Ballistic vibrator. It’s probably a sense of snobbery, but I left it by the wayside to try out the other toys. (Poor Ballistic.)
But holy fuck. It is absolutely one of my favorites of the bunch, and possibly has the strongest motor on any handheld toy I’ve ever tried.
Materials 3/5
The dildo is a velvety smooth pink silicone and comes with a wireless remote control. I’m giving the Ballistic a slightly unimpressive score here for two reasons: I found the vibrator’s silicone to be a bit too hard for my personal preference. (Who in their right mind has ever complained about a dick being too hard?) If I could, my bits would prefer a slightly squishier silicone but I understand that the trade-off is that it would absolutely dampen the vibrations.
Also, the remote control has a tendency to either get stuck or the plastic cover over the batteries tends to fall off or not fit seamlessly (which was frustrating when my hands were wet or lube-y).. That’s easily remedied by just using the buttons directly on the toy to control it, but if the main selling point for you is the remote control be aware that it leaves something to be desired.
Features 5/5
This toy has it all. I’m not joking. It is possibly the most multipurpose dick I have ever experienced. (Sorry to my past hookups and partners.) It might even be one of the best dildo vibrators I’ve ever met.
With two impressively strong motors, the Ballistic has 10 speeds and patterns but trust me when I tell you the lowest speed is probably more than enough for you. If you go any higher, it feels like you’re being electrocuted… it’s that strong!
It’s waterproof and features a suction cup, but since the Ballistic is quite heavy the suction cup will not keep the toy fixed to a wall. If you’re planning on straddling the toy, it works pretty decently but whatever you do, don’t expect it to stay horizontal. I made that mistake and the sound of it crashing down in my tub scared me so hard my butt plug almost shot out of my body. You’ve been warned!
Sensations 10/5
As a wordy writer and chatterbox extraordinaire, it’s rare for me to struggle to find the words to describe something. Having experienced the Ballistic… any word that I use to express my deep love of this toy will sound hyperbolic.
Do you have sensitive bits?
Can a cool breeze make you cum?
Do not pick up this toy. This toy is not for you, it might kill you (only slightly exaggerating).
I’ll paint you an erotic word picture: a partner and I were fucking, and I wanted to try something new. As a queer trans man, I prefer anal sex to vaginal sex (blame atrophy on that). So, I asked my partner if he’d like to try penetrating me anally while the Ballistic was buzzing inside me but upfront. He was skeptical but curious.
Within possibly 10-15 seconds, we both came loudly. I mean, one of those “oh OH OH NO” kind of sudden bursts of panicked ecstasy.
THIS TOY DOES NOT FUCK AROUND.
He felt the vibrations so strongly that it felt like I had become some kind of uber-realistic fucking toy (this better not awaken anything in me). If you are into extremely strong toys and want a novel tool that’s also multi-use, check this out!
