For those who love a dirty little secret, vibrating panties are the ultimate vibrator. These sex toys are compact, discrete toys designed to fit snugly into a pair of underwear. Some of these vibrators come with a pair of underwear specifically made for the gadget, while others are designed to sit inside any pair. Most often controlled via remote or app, these toys are perfect for solo and partner play alike, and can cater to either internal or external stimulation.

Not sure when would be the best time to break out the vibrating panty? These toys are known for the role they can play in turning up the temperature within a sexual relationship by introducing elements of surprise and mild exhibitionism. This can be valuable in a committed, long term relationship that needs a bit of spicing up or simply between partners (serious or not) who enjoy a bit of adventure. Indeed, sexologist and sexpert Dr. Jess O'Reilly says that introducing sex toys such as vibrating panties "can enhance all sexual relationships―with yourself and with a partner," explaining that "the mere presence of a sex toy often leads to new conversations about everything from desires and fantasies to boundaries and hesitations."

No partner? No problem. Sex educator and Lovehoney sexpert Javay Frye-Nekrasova argues that vibrating panties can be valuable tools in mixing up your masturbation routine.

"Vibrating panties aren't just for partner play," she says. "You can use them for a solo, hands-free masturbation session. You can have the vibrator in your panties and use it while grinding or humping another surface for added stimulation."

So, without further ado, check out the best vibrating panties on the market for both internal and external stimulation. And if you need more insight on how to make the best of your vibrating panty purchases, check out our guide on how to use every kind of vibrator.
