These next-generation oral-sex simulators know how to do things you thought only your partner could pull off — sucking, flicking, and licking you all the way to another universe. Scroll on for our roundup of the best tongue vibrators for a sex toy software update you never saw coming…and coming and coming. Female Vibrator
Why It's Worth It: If you've been online at any point in the past couple of years, you've probably seen something positive about the Lovehoney Rose Clitoral Suction Stimulator, colloquially known as "the rose toy." If the name doesn't ring a bell, this toy is basically what you'd imagine, plus a little more. While many vibe brands have their version of a rose-shaped oral simulator, we're partial to the Love Honey Rose Toy. This one is made of velvety, body-safe silicone with a two-button interface for breezy use and is best enjoyed with a touch of lube.
Editor Tip: If you have someone in your life to whom you're comfortable gifting a vibe, this is a great option for its affordability and cute design.

Unlike many other tongue vibes, the Flutter Wand is a 2-in-1 unicorn. The handle doubles as an internal, independently controlled vibrator to take you seamlessly from clit play to G-spot greatness.

Although all vibrators share a common goal of making you climax, different kinds of toys call for various uses. Taylor Nolan, Ph.D., plusOne Sexology Expert, tells Allure, "A tongue/oral vibrator is typically used externally on the clitoris; not all are meant for insertion." She adds. "As with most toys, you're going to want some lube handy. Use lube around the mouth of the toy to ensure a smooth sensation along the vulva as you play." Nolan also suggests pairing clitoral stimulation with thrusting motions for peak enjoyment. "Instead of lying or sitting there and having the device stimulate you, engage your body with the vibrator. Often, this leads to a deepened experience of pleasure as you are activating the pelvic floor and your internal clitoris."
Lexington, Kentucky-based marriage and family therapist Juliana Hauser, PhD. previously told Allure that where you place your vibrator is critical. "Some clitorises like to have the vibrator directly on the glans (pull back your hood for direct contact), others like the hood to provide a barrier and prefer the vibrator to be over the top of the hood and closer to the clitoral shaft," she says.
Your choice of a tongue vibrator should be informed by research ensuring its safety and quality and the specifications you think would best suit your desires, like intensity range, aesthetic, and versatility. "With any device, make sure the materials used are body-safe," says Nolan. "Consider how you might want to use the device — in the shower, in bed, or on your couch," Hauser suggests looking for external and internally stimulating toys if you're looking to achieve blended orgasms.
“Tongue vibrators are unique in that they mimic the sensation of oral sex,” says Nolan. “So, they are not your typical vibrator. Instead of air-pulsing waves or straight-up vibrations, they have a tongue-like feature that will flutter back and forth and stimulate the clitoris.”
