The Best Non-Phallic Sex Toys

"The Womanizer Next is a non-phallic sex toy for the multi-orgasm seeker," says Howard. "This sex toy provides pleasure air that mimics oral sensations on the clitoris. It is another multi-function sex toy that also feels good on the nipples."

Pros: Expert-approved; 14 intensity levels and three levels of depth; quiet; waterproof; customizable suction cups

Cons: Expensive

This vibrator, which comes in two chic colors, is made to fasten comfortably onto the user's finger so that stimulating the clitoris can be more intuitive and intimate. Hundreds of reviewers love it for its accessibility (it doesn't strain or hurt your wrist) and for how helpful it is for beginners to sex toys and to clitoral stimulation in general.

Pros: Editor-approved; accessible; easy to use; lightweight; three intensity levels; water-resistant; comfortable; woman and BIPOC-owned brand

Cons: Not quiet

I've written an entire essay about how much I love this necklace. This vibrator was made for the jewelry lover or for the feminist who loves wearing their sexuality on their sleeve. In addition to being a chic gold necklace (it truly matches with everything), it's a fully functioning vibrator with surprisingly powerful vibrations. Reviewers love it for both the way it looks and the way it feels, making it the perfect marriage of form and function.

Pros: Editor-approved; subtle; stylish; has a travel lock; comes in three finishes

Cons: Some reviewers with it had more vibration patterns/speeds

I've extolled the virtues of this toy before, and I'll do it again: The Eva is the perfect hands-free toy for both partnered and solo play. It gently clips onto the clitoris so you can enjoy external stimulation while focusing your hands (or your partner's) elsewhere. It has three intensity levels and a whopping four-hour battery life, so you can keep it running throughout your entire session without worrying about it leaving you hanging.

Pros: Editor-approved; hands-free; three levels of intensity; long battery life; comes in a convenient charging case; woman and BIPOC-owned brand

Cons: Made from silicone, so not compatible with silicone lubes

I will always stand by this luxurious sex toy because of its versatility. Because it's made from stainless steel, it's compatible with all types of lube. Because of its curved shape, it's also safe for vaginal and anal penetration, and it includes both a beginner-friendly thin end and an expert-level girthier end. Finally, this toy may not vibrate, but it boasts hundreds of rave reviews attesting to its effectiveness.

Pros: Editor-approved; can be cooled or heated for temperature play; suitable for all experience levels; good for anal and vaginal penetration; easy to clean

Cons: Doesn't vibrate

"The We-Vibe Touch X is a non-phallic sex toy that can fit into the palm of your hand," says Howard. "It’s a multi-function sex toy that provides intense but gentle vibrations that stimulate and titillate various body parts such as the labia, clitoris, and inner thigh." Users agree that it's ergonomic, making it easy to explore different erogenous zones without missing a beat.

Pros: Expert-approved; comes in two colors; seven vibration modes and eight levels of intensity; ergonomic; quiet

Cons: Some users found that the battery life (120 minutes) wasn't long enough; because it's made of silicone, it's not compatible with silicone-based lubes

Thanks to TikTok, the rose clitoral vibrator has become one of the most well-known non-phallic sex toys on the planet. Its beautiful floral shape allows users to store it out in the open, but this toy is more than just decorative—according to thousands of reviews, it packs a punch. With 10 pulsating settings and an effect that mimics the feeling of oral sex, it's more than earned its five-star reputation.

Pros: Decorative; waterproof; easy to clean; multiple vibration settings; popular

Cons: Because it's made of silicone, it's not compatible with silicone-based lubes

For those of us who know the exact spot that the vibrator needs to hit, this vibrator is a perfect choice. Its precision tip is among the most narrow on the market, and it's made with multiple orgasms in mind. The soft, silicone toy also features a comfortable handle that allows you or a partner to maneuver it easily.

Pros: Ergonomic; made for precision; flexible

Cons: Because it's made of silicone, it's not compatible with silicone-based lubes

This vibrator is so beautiful that it was featured in the Museum of Modern Art's Design Store and received a Best in Show award from The Strategist. With its sleek cone shape that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand, it has a precision tip that's perfect for targeted stimulation to the clitoris or to other erogenous zones. Water-resistant, it has three unique speeds and a 1.5 hour battery life.

Pros: Award-winning; woman and BIPOC-owned brand; latex-free; three speeds; water-resistant

Cons: Shorter battery life than some competitors

This anal prober is made from premium, flexible jelly-like material that's perfect for beginners. Its anal beads also increase subtly in size, making it easy to either tease a partner (or yourself) or to slowly increase your comfort level with anal play.

Pros: Affordable; safe for anal penetration; suitable for temperature play

Cons: Made from plastic, so not suitable for use with silicone lube

Howard also recommends this Womanizer toy, calling it "a non-phallic sex toy for those who want to experience some form of penetration." This is perfect for those who know they enjoy penetrative sex but aren't sexually attracted to penises or don't want to use a toy that looks like one. She continues, "This sex toy stimulates that clitoris and provides simultaneous g-spot stimulation. It's a two-in-one sex toy that brings double the pleasure and double the fun."

Pros: Expert-approved; allows users to experience penetration without the use of a phallus; comes in five colors; 14 levels of intensity and 10 vibration patterns; waterproof

Cons: Expensive; some users wish it was quieter

Emojibator specializes in making subtle sex toys that don't look like traditional vibrators. This is both to make vibrators easier to store out in the open and to make them more accessible and beginner-friendly. This strawberry-shaped, travel-friendly bullet vibrator is a perfect example of that. Plus, it has eight vibration settings and eight suction patterns, making it ideal for novices and experts alike.

Pros: Subtle; eight vibration patterns and eight suction modes; great for all experience levels; cute; great for travel; waterproof

Cons: Made from silicone, so not suitable for use with silicone lube

Some people prefer indirect clitoral stimulation from actions like grinding, spurring retailers to create toys for just that. This gadget is not designed not only for maximum friction, but it's also equipped with a motor that delivers up to seven different vibration patterns. Finally, it's also designed to fit perfectly between two bodies during partnered play and to stimulate testicles.

Pros: Made with all anatomies and preferences in mind; ideal for solo or partnered play; works for grinding; vibrates; comes in two colors

Cons: One user disliked that it glows in the dark
