May is National Masturbation Month, and if there was ever a time to recognize self-love as an essential form of self-care, now seems like a good one. With the lowest points of the pandemic seemingly behind us and a nice, long stretch of summer ahead, this could be the perfect time to reprioritize your own pleasure while getting reacquainted with yourself mentally, spiritually, physically, emotionally, and sexually.

However you plan to celebrate this commemorative month, we’ve rounded up several deals on our top picks for the best vibrators, anal toys, and G-spot toys to help you out. (Fun fact: National Masturbation Month got its start in 1995 after President Clinton fired Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders for suggesting masturbation be taught in sex ed!) Whether you’re ready to ramp up your next night at home alone, or you’re looking for a new plaything to experiment with in your partnered sex life, we hope you find these deals gratifying in all ways, not just monetarily.

The Magic Wand has colloquially been called “the Cadillac of vibrators,” and for good reason. It performs like no other, quickly and consistently delivering intense orgasms practically on demand. In our recent video explaining how we test vibrators, Wirecutter’s resident sexpert, Bianca Alba, called the Magic Wand “the OG,” “a classic,” “very good at what it does,” and “such a workhorse.” Bianca said that over Wirecutter’s years of long-term testing, “we haven’t found anything that’s really been able to best it.” Our testers found that a fully charged Magic Wand can run at maximum speed for three and a half hours before it needs to be plugged in. It also offers a relatively quiet motor and easy-to-clean silicone head. Though it’s one of the pricier vibrators on the market, the Magic Head’s renowned durability makes it a lasting investment. Bianca said her own Magic Wand “still works great after six years.”

If suction (or, in less-technical terms, the sensation of oral sex) is your preferred form of clitoral arousal, then the Womanizer Classic (an also-great pick in our vibrator guide) may be the right toy for you. Like the Magic Wand, the Womanizer Classic is an often-imitated, never-duplicated innovation that sets itself apart thanks to its combination of vibration and suction. It also boasts a comfortable, contoured silicone suction head, which isolates the clitoris while delivering eight levels of air-pressure stimulation without any direct contact (some users may find this more pleasurable and not as intense-in-a-bad-way as the Magic Wand’s more-blunt approach). The Womanizer’s slim, tapered body makes it easy to hold and maneuver for long stretches, and its battery life is as long-lasting as the Magic Wand’s after a two-hour charge.

Some sex-toy users derive the most enjoyment from broad, diffuse, rumbly vibrations like those delivered by the wide head of the Magic Wand. Others may opt for a gadget that can provide more-targeted, surface-level pleasure. If you fall into the latter camp, consider the Zumio S, another also-great pick from our guide to the best vibrators. This device boasts a short stem with a rounded, hard-plastic tip, which makes it look more like an electric toothbrush than a sex toy. The Zumio S’s relatively diminutive head, however, is ideal for delivering precise, intense stimulation to specific areas of the vulva and clitoris, while its circular oscillations deliver a more-concentrated sensation compared with other vibrators we tested. All that combined with the Zumio S’s narrow, easy-to-hold body—which makes navigation and manipulation a breeze—could have you boldly going places you’ve never gone before. And this device also complements partner play because the handle’s shape and length (about 5 inches, plus another 2 inches for the stem) make it easy to use on another person.

To focus on interior hotspots, we recommend the NJoy Pure Wand, a stainless steel dildo that received nearly perfect marks in our testing for its intense and effective stimulation of the G-spot and the P-spot. (The latter term, if you’re unfamiliar with it, basically means the prostate, a walnut-sized gland located between the bladder and the penis; some people with penises find it pleasurable during sex to apply pressure on the P-spot, which swells during arousal.) The curved wand features a large, rounded head on one end and a smaller head on the other, so it offers lots of versatility. And because the Pure Wand is stainless steel, it’s simple to clean and built to last, as well as easy to warm or chill for further experimentation. All of that functionality is packaged in a beautifully elegant design that makes the Pur Wand look more like an objet d’art than a piece of hardware you’d feel compelled to hide in a drawer.

We ranked this vibrating, rechargeable G-spot stimulator as an also-great pick in our guide to the best G-spot toys. However, since the OhMiBod Lovelife Cuddle is priced well under $100, it could also be considered a budget pick. And, despite its less-powerful vibrations compared with other toys we recommend, this device should still get you where you want to go (especially if you’re a beginner). Our testers specifically praised the Lovelife Cuddle’s curved body and easy-to-use power console and charging cord, while also noting that its features are comparable to those of other vibrating G-spot toys costing nearly twice as much. At 6½ inches long and 1¼ inches wide, the Lovelife Cuddle is also smaller than many other G-spot toys, so it may be the best pick for people with smaller anatomies.

We recommend NJoy’s stainless steel butt plug as heartily as we do its dildo. Like the brand’s Pure Wand, the Pure Plug is gracefully fashioned out of stainless steel. That may not seem like an ideal material for anal play, but our testers found it offers a combination of smooth insertion (when used with lubricant) and firm stimulation, while easily staying in place and delivering an enjoyably full, weighty feeling. Unlike the Pure Wand, the Pure Plug is available in three sizes (small, 5 ounces; medium, 7 ounces; large; 11 ounces), allowing users some room for growth and more-intense options as they advance. Between uses, it’s also easy to clean in boiling water or with soap and water. And, unlike silicone-based toys, the Pure Plug can be used with any kind of lubricant and doesn’t retain disagreeable odors.
