The Nuri is a product made by sexual wellness brand Tabu, which offers sleek, sophisticated sex toys that cater to your body’s individual needs. It’s the only sex toy on this list that has the ability to heat up; it reaches around 97 degrees Fahrenheit, which is right around your body temperature. This added feature is intended to increase comfort and boost blood flow, so your body can truly relax while you’re using it.
We’ve already touched on vibrating prostate massagers, but — spoiler alert — not all prostate massagers vibrate. Some are basically just butt plugs with a special shape (aka increased curve) to support prostate stimulation. Below they explain what these sex toys do and how to know if one deserves a place in your drawer.
Known for stylish designs, high-quality materials, and a mission to empower individuals and couples, Rianne S continues to be a leading force in enhancing sexual pleasure and intimacy worldwide.

Bianca was formerly managing editor of a Kinsey Institute blog and has presented academic research on transgender-youth health advocacy and menstrual biohacking. She/they are passionate about normalizing healthy discussions of sexuality in everyday life. In an earlier version of this guide, we named the CalExotics Silver Bullet as our budget pick. Subsequently we concluded that the pricier but cordless Satisfyer Purple Pleasure offered stronger vibrations, was made of better-quality materials, and was more aesthetically pleasing.
It’s best to reserve any porous toys in your repertoire for solo play, or enjoy shared use with a condom (unless you’re fluid bonded). Playing with an unclean sex toy that’s been stored incorrectly is kind of like eating a loose mint that’s been rolling around in the bottom of a purse or gym bag for a while — sticky and covered in lint. We’re talking everything from cuffs, straps, cock rings, and ball gags to vibrators, butt plugs, and strap-ons — and everything in between. Raise your hand if you’ve ever tossed a sex toy back into your goodie drawer after a job well done so you could roll over and enjoy the afterglow.
If you’re planning on using the dildo during solo sex, Finn recommends a dildo with a suction cup base, like the Avant P1 Pride Freedom dildo. Also known as single-ended dildos, standard dildos most resemble biological penises in shape and function. Anything related to sexual play — not just the usual top-drawer suspects — need to be properly cleaned and stored. Toys should always be cleaned before and after each use to prevent bacteria from building up. "You can't really go wrong with soap and warm water," says Engle.
It comes with a one-year warranty, plus a 10-year guarantee that allows you to purchase a replacement model for 50% of the original price should your toy break in the decade following the initial year of coverage. With eight vibration settings, this stimulation can range from gentle to extremely intense, and a little goes a long way. It’s also a good toy to use in tandem with penetrative intercourse—it is small and easy for either partner to hold and position. The vibrations are intense and rumbly; we found the level 5 setting to be akin to level 2 on our top pick, the Magic Wand Rechargeable. The Purple Pleasure may not satisfy you if you’re accustomed to reaching orgasm at the Magic Wand’s highest levels, but it packs quite a punch for its small size, and our testers easily achieved orgasm while using it.
