By far the most interesting thing about the Sona Cruise (and toys like it) is the technology that sends sound waves pulsing through your body. "It took 20 years to move from vibes to waves," Cerrone says. "Don't get me wrong, vibes are good, but I love to see new products that are transforming knowledge into better orgasms and happier people." Of course, in the name of science, I needed to try this vibrator with another human. While I usually incorporate vibrators during sex itself, I decided to hold off for as long as possible, having discovered the power of the SONA Cruise. Wise choice: It was the fastest orgasm I've ever had, even though it still felt as gratifying and forceful as one that had built up for a long time. My boyfriend's reaction when I came just about a minute after hitting the button: "Woah, already???" IMO, the fact that this bb worked so easily for me is a major game-changer. Refined and perfected, SONA 2 sends gentle sonic waves through the entire clitoris for even more resonant pleasure. There are plenty of popular retailers selling sex toys these days, with Lovehoney and Ann Summers being just two popular options. The most recent brand to catch our attention, however, is LELO. According to its mantra, LELO looks to put sex toys and self-care at the forefront of all its products, offering "the experience of ecstasy without shame, the pleasure of discovering all the wonders of one’s body, [thus] facilitating our customers with confidence that leads to a fulfilled intimate life." But first let's cover the nitty-gritty: The Sila is waterproof, made of body-safe silicone, and comes with a rechargeable battery lasting up to 2 hours, as well as a 3-button design that includes eight intensity settings and eight patterns. Like every other Lelo toy, it's gorgeously designed, the gold-plated elegance dripping off its unique horn-like shape. As far as discretion is concerned, it's even quieter than the Sona 2, much more muted than anything offered by Satisfyer but still not beating the Womanizer's near-silence.

The experience you deem "better" ultimately comes down to what your subjective preferences and individual stimulation needs are, though. We’ve all heard of the G-spot, but have you heard of the A-spot? Approximately three to five inches deep on the high anterior vaginal wall, close to the cervix, the A-Spot (officially known as the anterior fornix erogenous zone and sometimes referred to as the “deep spot”) is about two inches north of the G-spot. That means it’s even harder to reach with your fingers, usually requiring the help of a toy - one designed for deeper penetration. In the moment of orgasm, the Sila feels like the indisputably superior choice, that tingly, long-lasting afterglow of a slow and steady climb spreading throughout every inch of your body. But throughout the more frustrating lead-up, I couldn't stop craving the wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am efficiency of the Sona 2 and its like. Many women say that G-spot stimulation is what leads them to squirt, but sex experts recommend beginning with clitoral stimulation to encourage the fluid to build up and to generate slight swelling of the G-spot before stimulating it.

Both versions are waterproof, by the way, so they can also be used for fun massages in the bathtub. Should the device run out of sound waves, it can simply be charged via USB. When choosing a vibrator or sex toy, it may be hard to know where to begin. Whether you're looking for a bullet vibrator, rabbit vibrator, G-Spot vibrator or couple's toy, it's important to consider the areas you want your sex toy to target. For example, those who prefer clitoral stimulation are generally best with a bullet vibrator or clitoral suction sex toy, while those who prefer stimulation that targets the G-Spot are better looking for vibrators designed to do this. Clitoral suction stimulators, made famous by companies like Womanizer, come with a reputation for ripping orgasms from your body so fast and hard you enter a different time-space continuum.

A 2010 study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine found as many as 94 per cent of women who had tried anal on their most recent sexual encounter reported to having an orgasm. We like those odds. And with anal still considered a taboo among many heterosexual couples, there’s an added level of excitement to this type of pleasure. Squirting refers to the expulsion of fluid from the vagina during orgasm. It isn’t experienced by all women, but around 10 to 54 per cent of women are believed to have squirted at some point, according to one study, with the amount of ejaculate ranging from a small drop to as much as 150ml.The Sila's big mouth, flattened rim, and overall curved body is designed for stimulation beyond just the external clitoral nub, though. Unlike any other suction-style toy on the market, it's intended to encompass the labia, reach some of the expansive internal clitoris, and (for me at least) even titillate a bit of the vaginal opening — an underrated pleasure point the sex toy industry too often negates. Clitoral stimulators like the Lelo Sona 2 are a fantastic addition to any erotic experience. Not only are they great for masturbation, but twosomes can also use them to make foreplay a little more exciting. This sex toy is an upgrade to the Lelo Sona with some intriguing settings to entice and arouse. There are 12 settings to choose from, increasing in intensity to deliver delectable delight every time. The wider and softer opening at the top of the toy and deeper mouth maximise the pleasure. The three buttons on the interface make choosing the right setting easy. The device has a battery life of about an hour, and takes roughly 2 hours to recharge fully. In the box, along with the vibrator itself, you will find a USB charger as well as a discreet carrying case. Waterproof Sex Toy In the past, I've been pretty hard on award-winning luxury toy brand Lelo. With a tendency to overblow its sextech innovations, I can't imagine its expensive experiments get much product-testing prior to being launched into the market with often mediocre to disastrous results. That's best encapsulated by the Ora. The unnecessarily bizarre-shaped (if chic) "oral sex simulator" nearly ripped my clitoris clean off when combined with Lelo's chaotic Cruise Control setting (thankfully absent from the new Sila). Just like with Volvos, IKEA furniture and H&M clothing, he Scandanavian sex toy specialists focus on design. The diminutive joy-giver distinguishes itself from its competitors by a decisive feature: it is not vibrations that bring you to climax, but sound waves. The sound massage device is simply placed on the clitoris and then delivers pulsating waves to the entire area. This type of massage brings you even faster and more intensely to your sexual tipping point. Full Intensity, Maximum Discretion
