The Crush Letter No 180: CRUSH Readers’ Favorite Vibrators

. 5 min read

The Crush Letter brings love to your inbox weekly on Saturdays. To make you, your love life and your weekend more compelling. Hell yes, sign me up.


Hello Crush,

While you’re all being inundated with the upcoming election coming at you from all sides, I’ve escaped to Europe. Right about now I should be heading to Porto to gather up with the girlfriends who I will be embarking with on our Camino hiking sojourn. I’ll write more about that when I return.

In the meantime, over the last year we asked you a few times to share your favorite vibrators. I pulled these together for you in a list, since “winter is coming,” CRUSHes.

Stock up!

CRUSH Readers' Favorite Vibrators

Wondering whether to try a new sex toy? You probably want to consider these.

We have posted a survey asking CRUSH Readers what their favorite sex toy is a number of times. Here is a comprehensive listing from everyone who has shared their favorites to date.

Of course, we’d love to hear from you if you haven’t responded yet. At the end of this story you can take our quick, 3-question survey.

Susie

Satisfyer Traveler

“This toy is designed for clitoral stimulation, and the combination of pressure and sucking will knock your socks off!”


Pharaoh Cockenhungen

TENGA SVR Smart Vibe Ring Rechargeable Vibrating Cock Ring

“Both partners love it”


MusicGeek77

Hitachi Cordless Magic Wand

“Yes, it’s the old standby, but it just works. The rechargeable version doesn’t constrain you to wall outlets, and the variable speeds and tempos just work.”


Sassy

Dame AER

“It sucks my clit, simulating oral sex. Knocks my socks off every time.”


Larry

Tenga Smart Vibe Cock Ring

“It feels great on my cock, and my love loves the vibration, which allows her to have an orgasm while I am penetrating her. That’s so nice.”


Liza

Iroha Mini Vibrator

“First off, I discovered this because I’ve read about the Tenga Vibrating Cock Ring in The Crush Letter. I don’t have a male partner at the moment, but I was unfamiliar with the brand. I like high-end sex toys and was looking for a masturbation toy - something small that felt great in my hands. I don’t like the feel of cold, metal toys — I like it to feel soft. I love this powerful, bright-colored mini for travel. I bring it everywhere. It has a great weight and a nice, soft feel. Plus I like the pinpointed tip. And the bright colors.”


Dish

The Tenga Iroha Tori

“If you watched Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown “Tokyo (Season 2, Episode 7)”, then you know that Bourdain loved the mysteries (and fetishes) of Japan most of all. In Bourdain: Off the Cuff: Tokyo he begins in the red-light district of Shinjuku, then visits hostess bars, sex clubs and bondage artists. In Tokyo by myself after a bad breakup and feeling very Lost in Translation, I retraced many of Bourdain's steps, which resulted in finding the vibrator that turns me on the most. (And I’ve tried a lot.)”


Sassy

Womanizer Liberty

“Although it has the speeds and varied intensity, it is too bulky compared to other brands. For me, neither “head” attachment locked smoothly causing suction to be irregular. Got to the goal but not as great as the much earlier Crush recommended Dame Aer. Not a “buy” for me.”

You (yes, You!) can take our quick, 3-question survey here.

Eating Out, No Reservations Required. By Sugar Lips
A straight female’s take on the polarizing position of 69, offering some creative variations if you’re still on the fence. Whenever the sex position, 69--a mutual oral sex position, face to groin and resembles the numbers 6 and 9--is brought up in unabashedly, bawdy conversation, usually after several
