Whether you’re a long-time sex toy user or a newbie to the scene, if you’re curious about G-spot stimulation, you’re definitely not alone. Yes, bullet vibrators are incredible, but there’s nothing quite like a G-spot orgasm, and for many vulva-owners, it takes just the right G-spot vibrator to hit that magic internal button.
Of course, you can also get that good G-spot play with a real-life partner during penetrative sex, but a) penises can’t provide the kind of powerful vibration some of these toys we’re about to get to can, and b) sometimes a girl just wants to give it to herself with a bunch of lube and a G-spot vibe, amirite?
What exactly is the G-spot?
So glad you asked! Technically the G-spot’s full name is the Gräfenberg spot. It was “discovered” by Dr. Beverly Whipple when she found that using a “come hither” motion (moving your finger up and towards you) inside the vaginal canal produced a titillating response in some women and vagina owners, in general. Dr. Whipple came to believe that this magical little region could be a major part of helping women and owners of a vagina climax during penetrative sex.
Now, the fact is, the G-spot isn’t really a separate part of your inner world down there. In a 2017 study, for example, researchers spent quite a lot of energy attempting to “find” the G-spot in research participants and came up short. Why? Because the G-spot is actually just a part of your wider clitoral network.
Yep, you heard that right: your clitoris isn’t just that magical nub on the outside of your vulva; it’s actually a whole, connected region that extends all the way inside. It starts at that sensitive little section where your inner labia meet (the portion of the clitoris with which you’re most familiar), and then it goes underground, so to speak. The clitoral network branches out into two 4-inch “roots” that extend all the way inside your vaginal canal. You can often reach it with your fingers, though given its location, it’s sometimes ergonomically easier to use a G-spot massage wand, like the Pure Wand, or another toy specifically designed to help you get at it — like a G-spot vibe.
Thus, when you’re stimulating the G-spot, you’re actually touching or stroking a specific part of that clitoral network. This also explains why it can be really hard to find an actual, specific G ‘spot’ — because everyone’s anatomy differs slightly. What is for sure is that once you locate and stimulate your G-spot, you can have spectacular orgasms that can even cause you to squirt! Go-go gadget female ejaculation.
If you are new to the world of sex toys, you might wonder if there is such a thing as too much masturbation? More specifically, is there a connection between vibrators and nerve damage? Most experts would tell you no but if you aren’t careful, you might get injured from misuse. So if ever you’re thinking about getting a rabbit vibrator or bullet vibrator, make sure you know how to use a rabbit vibrator or how to use a bullet vibrator. Better yet, research the different types of vibrators to determine which is right for you.
What should you look for when shopping for G-spot toys?
Finding exactly the right sex toy for you can feel a bit daunting at times; you want to make sure it’s going to work for you (especially if it’s a luxury toy since you can’t exactly return it). Even if you’ve got lots of experience with, say, clitoral vibrators, it may be your first time shopping for a G-spot vibrator, and you’ve got questions.
So here are a few things to know when it comes to getting yourself a G-spot toy. First, it may actually take a little bit of experimentation to find out exactly what works for you. But this is OK because those are fun experiments to conduct! Look, the truth is no one knows your body better than you do, so while looking at reviews is important, actually trying things out is the gold standard.
That said, there are certain toys that a whole lot of vagina-owners have tested out and have worked for them. Things like rabbit vibrators, sex toys that mimic oral sex with suction, and G-spot dildos with powerful internal stimulation are not to be missed.
What you should specifically be looking for when it comes to G-spot toys is the following:
- The toy should be shaped specifically to stimulate the G-spot; ones with curved shafts and/or bulbous heads are desirable
- It should be made of a safe material — a body-safe silicone or glass or metal
- It should be pretty firm; the G-spot wants to be stimulated somewhat assertively. A softer toy just won’t work as well
- It should be the right size for your particular vajayjay — if it’s too big or too small, it won’t work as well
- It should be easy to grasp and insert (in other words, ergonomic). You don’t want to be straining or contorting your hand, wrist, or body into strange shapes in order to get off. Do this too much, and you could end up with carpal tunnel!
Pro tip: An easy way to be sure that you’re getting high-quality toys is to buy them from ethical, reputable companies.
What makes a G-spot vibrator different from other vibrators?
Basically, in contrast to a toy that stimulates an erogenous zone like your nipples or provides external stimulation down there (clit stroking), your G-spot vibrator is going to get all up in your parts.
Often made of soft silicone, a G-spot vibrator is usually a longish wand vibrator that’s slightly curved. Sometimes, it’s got a sort of bulbous head that can help get to that magic spot. It’s meant for vaginal penetration, but usually not ultra not deep penetration — for that, you generally want to get a vibe or dildo that can provide more length and girth. That said, your G-spot vibrator is going to provide internal stimulation, which can be intensely pleasurable.
Plus, unlike clitoral vibrators (like bullet vibrators) or more traditional straight or phallic-shaped vibrators, many G-spot vibrators don’t help you out in the external and clitoral stimulation department. If you already know that you want clit and G-spot stimulation simultaneously, though, you can find curvy, thrusting, or rotating rabbit vibes that offer plenty of that.
Things to consider before you buy
One thing to make sure you take care of is getting the right lube. You’ve got to use the right lubricants for the right things, whether that’s partnered sex play or getting down and dirty with your own toys.
Silicone-based lubes should NOT be used with silicone-based toys. Water-based lube is the way to go there. Make sure to address using the right lubricant with whatever sex toys you bring into your life.
To be specific, here are a few of the best G-spot vibrators:
1. LELO toys
Our LELO sex toy collection offers a ton of options for G-spot vibrators that can provide intense vibration and a whole lot of beauty. Known for their classy silhouettes, LELO G-spot vibrators include ones like the second generation LELO GIGI 2 vibe, which not only has 100% more power than the first generation but two extra stimulation patterns and newly waterproof styling. Wait, waterproof!? Yes, you can take this one in the shower for that extra slick goodness.
The GIGI 2's sexy, sculpted shaft was specifically designed to hone in on that upper part of your vaginal wall, rich in nerve endings. Once in position, you or your partner will be able to rock, move and otherwise manipulate the firm shape for a perfect inner massage. Plus, if you’re not in the mood for full-on penetration, you can use this sleek toy for some sweet clitoral stimulation, or to tease your nipples and other erogenous zones.
With 8 possible rhythms, GIGI 2 can be perfectly calibrated to your pleasure desires. Pick a favorite from the steady, pulsating, and escalating vibration possibilities, then customize the intensity using separate buttons.
2. We-Vibe toys
If you’re looking for something to use with a partner, there’s nothing more renowned than the We-Vibe collection, including the newly updated We-Vibe Unite 2.0. One of the first vibrators specifically designed to be worn during partnered sex, this innovative toy has been featured in numerous publications, including Cosmo, Chatelaine, Men's Health, Flare, and GQ. It has also been on Oprah! Yes, sex educators Dr. Laura Berman and Sue Johanson both recommend it.
A flexible 'C' shape allows the Unite 2.0 to precisely fit unique curves, hugging the G-spot from within and massaging the clitoris (and other outer sweet spots) externally. Each end holds a dedicated motor, ensuring direct stimulation of key erogenous zones - the smaller end is meant to be inserted while the wider nestles naturally against the clitoris and surrounding area. Both ends are textured for maximum sensation.
Once in place, start up vibration using the Unite's sleek long-range (9.8'/3m) remote. The first three of ten rhythms showcase the orgasmic power of steady vibration, while the remaining seven mix throbs, pulses, and waves. Low, Medium, High, Pulse, Wave, Cha Cha, Tease, Throb, Ramp, and Ascend are all cued using the remote. Whisper-quiet dual motors are truly almost silent, offering some extremely enjoyable public or private stimulation situations.
The We-Vibe has also been known to help people who have trouble climaxing, alone or with a lover, to experience the big O. Known specifically for its impeccable couple-friendly design, the We-Vibe Unite 2.0 combines its body-conscious shape with ten orgasmic vibration patterns. Featuring pared-down remote styling for simple, always pleasurable use, the Unite 2.0 is 100% body-safe and conveniently USB-rechargeable.
3. G-Spot vibes that also offer clitoral stimulation (dual stimulation)
As stated, some G-spot vibrators don’t offer clitoral attention, but then there’s the whole category of ones that do. The Plaisir Wearable Clitoral & G-Spot Vibe, for example, features a firm, ripple textured shaft for deep-delving internal attention plus a soft, cupped clit / outer suction stimulator. While the shaft works ten modes of orgasmic magic inside, ten more modes of pulsating suction tease, suck, and throb against your/your partner's clitoris.
Shaft vibration and stimulator suction functions are controlled separately with simple buttons on a user-friendly interface, so you'll be able to enjoy both sensations together, or experiment with each individually. This toy is also waterproof so that you can take it with you for some good, good lovin’ in the shower or bath. Its USB charger gives you 1.5 hours of playtime.
(Note that you can also simply get two separate toys; one that stimulates your G-spot and another that gives you the perfect kind of clitoral stimulation that you love -- i.e., the kind that mimics someone going down on you, like the Satisfyer Pro series.)
4. G-spot kits and vibrating finger sleeves
If you’re new to it, part of the joy of G-spot exploration is figuring out exactly where your spot is, and how you like it to be touched, massaged, and generally stimulated. To this end, it can be really great to use your own finger (or your partner’s) with a ribbed or smooth sleeve overtop. For example, the PinkCherry Triple Stimulator Rabbit Vibe features two blissfully complementary G-spot-seeking vibes and a handful of orgasmic tickler sleeves created to enhance internal finger play.
This presents a hugely versatile range of solo or shared pleasure possibilities. The star of the Kit comes in a much-loved, tried, and true shape, practically guaranteeing toe-curling thrills. Featuring a perfectly tapered, angled bulb tipping the head and a soft, butterfly-shaped clitoral stimulator cup enhanced with tickling antennae, the Butterfly stimulates internally and externally with ease. Three functions of vibration are contained in an impressively powerful motor, providing lots of control over just how much intensity and sensation is needed in the moment; they're all controlled easily by a single push-button on the base.
As for the second vibe, the G-Spot Massager features classically smooth styling and a foolproof up-curled tip designed to target the G immediately. Multiple vibration speeds are activated and varied with a twist of the base. The massager's firm texture lends itself extremely well to internal sweet-spot seeking, maneuvering easily in hand.
Topping things off are the Orgasm Ticklers, a trio of supple finger sleeves textured to enhance the feel of a finger (or thumb) inside. A fantastic tool for beginner G-spot seekers, a chosen Tickler can help you/your partner find just the right spot. Three are included; the supple and body-safe jelly material stretches to fit most.
Time to Get it On
While some may see things like sex toys as trivial, the fact is they’re anything but. The benefits of a good orgasm — blended or not — are plentiful. For example, the endorphins released during orgasm actually prevent heart problems (this is because they naturally neutralize stress hormones like cortisol). In fact, research out of Israel found that women who reached orgasm twice a week were 30% less likely to have heart disease.
In addition to the endorphins and other happy, healthy hormones that are released when you achieve the big O, if you’re one of those who uses a good hearty climax to get to sleep at night, you’re not alone. According to Annabelle Knight, sex and relationship expert with Lovehoney, “Having an orgasm can lead to sounder, better-quality sleep, thanks to the fact that when you climax, you produce the sleep-inducing hormone, prolactin.”
If there were a pill that gave you high-quality sleep, stress relief, mood-boosting hormones, and protection from heart disease, some big pharma company would have made it by now. But it turns out getting yourself off is better than all that. Plus, using a G-spot vibrator helps you get to know yourself better, inside and out. ;)
G is for Get-to-it, y’all.
