Us sex editors at Women’s Health know what’s up when it comes to vibrators, because we’re constantly testing the latest and greatest in sex toy tech. In fact, over the last year, 13 WH editors and contributors anonymously tested over 50 (!) vibrators in different settings—solo, during sex, even in the shower—to bring you the best recommendations.
One of our favorite types of sex toys? The clitoral vibrator. After all, for many people with vaginas, it takes more than just penetration to reach the big O. Luckily, the clitoris exists purely for pleasure: It has 15,000 nerve endings—"twice as many as the penis and the pelvic floor," says Janet Brito, PhD, a clinical psychologist and certified sex therapist based in Honolulu, Hawaii. That means it's extra sensitive to external arousal, and one of the best ways to stimulate every single one of those nerve endings is with a clit vibrator.
Like you, some of our editors enjoy feeling buzzy or rumbly sensations against the clit, while others prefer an oral sex-mimicking toy. Whatever your preferences, there's a clitoral vibrator designed to satisfy your desires (literally).
These are a few of our favorites, but read on for more detailed reviews:

Before hitting "add to cart" on your next favorite sex toy, Brito suggests asking yourself a few questions about where and how you might want to use the toy.
What To Consider
Material And Design
It’s really important to make sure your clit vibrator is made of the right material to ensure it's body-safe. “I would suggest a silicone vibrator as they are sturdy, last a long time, and are easiest to clean," says Lyndsey Murray, an AASECT-certified sex therapist at Relationship Matters Therapy. "You can also use a water-based lubricant with it.” Other materials, such as soft rubber, are porous, meaning they can collect bacteria, causing you to get some kind of infection, even if you clean the vibrator regularly. But “high-quality, medical-grade silicone is not porous," psychologist and sex therapist Laurie Mintz, PhD, author of Becoming Cliterate, previously told Women's Health.
Additionally, you can opt for vibrators of different sizes and designs, depending on what you're looking for. For example, some clitoral vibrators are more flexible than others, allowing for more gentle sensations than a stiffer option.
Sensations
Think about your arousal preferences when it comes to what clitoral sensations you want to feel from your vibe. "Everyone is different, so for some folks, the vibrator’s pulsation may be too strong if they apply it directly to the clitoris," says Brito. "Others may prefer to use the vibrator around the clitoris rather than right on it. It's best to explore to find the best stimulation for you."
Ask yourself a few questions to help narrow down your choices: Do you enjoy more buzzy or sucking sensations? Would you prefer a mix of external (clitoral) and internal (G-spot) stimulation? Do you want a waterproof vibrator that can join you in the shower? Whatever your answers, there are plenty of sex toys that offer clit stimulation and then some.
Charging Type
Keep in mind how the vibrator is charged and consider what is most convenient for you—batteries or a plug-in rechargeable option. Either way, “always make sure it's charged enough or has fresh batteries before using it because it's no fun at all if your vibrator dies on you before you finish,” Murray says.
Warranty
You'll definitely want to look for a toy with a warranty, says Lisa Finn, a sex educator and product expert with retailer Babeland. That way, you know the company backs their product and is willing to replace it for you. However, not every retailer will have a satisfaction guarantee, so if you simply don't like it, you might be out of luck unless they have a return policy.
How We Chose The Best Clitoral Vibrators
Over the past year, the Women’s Health team of anonymous testers spent hours testing and reviewing over 50 clitoral vibrators to curate a list of the 7 best-selling, most popular, and top-rated options. We also consulted sex therapists Lyndsey Murray, MD, Janet Brito, PhD, and Laurie Mintz, PhD, sexologist Jess O'Reilly, PhD, OB-GYN Lyndsey Harper, MD, and sex educator Lisa Finn for this story.
Types of Clitoral Vibrators
"The clitoris is part of the vulva," says Lyndsey Harper, MD, an OB-GYN and CEO/founder of Rosy based in Dallas, Texas. "It is made of erectile tissue just like a penis and becomes engorged with blood during sexual arousal." By definition, any toy designed to stimulate that hot spot is a clitoral vibrator, but here are some of the most common types:
- Bullet vibrators are small, cylindrical, and travel-friendly. They typically offer buzzy sensations to the clitoris.
- Clitoral suction vibrators stimulate the clitoris via gentle air pulsations, as opposed to buzzy or rumbly vibrations.
- Wand vibrators are larger, handheld toys that provide rumbly sensations to the clitoris. Because they generally have a larger surface area, they offer tons of stimulation to the area surrounding the clit, too.
- Rabbit vibrators have two arms: one that's insertable for G-spot contact, and another that provides sensations to the clitoris. The clitoral arm can be anything from two clitoral arms that resemble rabbit ears (how the toy got its name) to a small, vibrating nub to a clitoral suction head.
How to Take Care of a Clitoral Vibrator
To ensure your investment in a new toy pays off (again and again), follow these tips to take care of it properly.
1. Clean your vibrator.
For the health of your body (and the toy), you'll want to properly clean your toys after each use, Finn says. Even if your toy isn't going inside your body, "all of that [clitoral] tissue is still very delicate, and you want to make sure that you're taking proper care of it," she explains. Because clitoral vibrators come in tons of different sizes, shapes, styles, and materials, it's best to look up how to clean your specific toy, and whether it's waterproof.
2. Use lubricant.
Even if you're someone who self-lubricates pretty well (congratulations, in that case), you'll still want to lube up when using toys, because they don't have any natural moisture, Finn says. If you're using a silicone toy, opt for a water-based lubricant (not silicone-based), so the toy doesn't become damaged. "Not only will it feel better, but it'll actually make your experience just more pleasurable overall," she adds.
3. Try a condom.
For extra measure, you can always put a condom over your toy to keep it clean, "especially if you're playing with a partner that you're not fluid-bonded with and you want to share the toy," Finn says. Just make sure the condom is lubricated and you wash off the toy afterward. Again, if there's any silicone lubricant on the condom, you won't want to use it on a silicone toy.
4. Store your vibrator properly.
First of all, make sure your sex toy is completely dry before putting it away; otherwise, mildew could grow on it, Finn says. And when it comes to storing your sex toy(s), it's best to keep it in a satin pouch to keep outside dust or dirt from getting in. If you want, you can even keep the toy in the box it came in.
5. Unplug it when it's done charging.
Lastly, don't leave your toys charging for too long, because it can cause some overcharging, which might damage the toy's battery life, Finn says. This will help "make sure it's holding a charge as best as it can," she adds.
