On all your shopping trips for lingerie or sex toys, I bet you never considered vibrating panties or some type of wearable vibrator. Don’t worry, you wouldn’t be the first. I don’t know why (and it’s not only me, I’ve discussed this with others) but vibrating underwear and wearable vibrators can come off as rather intimidating at first glance. But they really shouldn’t be–especially if you’re looking for a unique take on couples’ toys.
What are wearable vibrators?
As its name suggests, vibrating panties and wearable vibrators are sex toys that double as accessories. Wearable vibrators is a more generic name that can really be used to describe a few subclassifications of sex toys–egg vibrators, vibrating panties, and cock rings.
How do vibrating panties, egg vibrators, and cock rings work?
Just like regular undergarments, remote-controlled vibrating panties are available in a variety of styles and cuts. So depending on how you plan to wear them (like with or without a strap-on harness), you may find yourself partial to certain designs, all of which we’ve listed below:
- Bikini
- Briefs
- High-waisted briefs
- Bodysuits
- Thongs and G-strings
Most pairs of vibrating underwear feature a pocket for the vibrator so you can easily remove the toy when it comes time to wash your undies. Some companies put the pocket on the inside lining, while others keep it outside. Neither design is better or worse, it’s purely aesthetics. How you employ the device depends on the design–some companies make vibrating panties with remotes connected to the device itself, while others use wireless remotes or have even developed apps that turn your smart devices into the control center. It’s also possible to turn any pair of underwear you currently own into a pair of vibrating panties (wow, magic!). All you have to do is place a wearable vibrator on the lining of your undies (like you would with a pantiliner or pad) or you could simply insert an egg vibrator and wear them with or without panties–scandalous!
Egg vibrators (also called wearable vibrators) are inserted into the vaginal opening and usually require you to download an app in order to send signals to the device or they may follow the lead of remote-controlled vibrators and come with their own wireless remote. You’ll notice that egg vibrators sort of look like Kegel devices and in some cases, they can be used interchangeably (given the toy is weighted).
Cock rings are the easiest wearable vibrator to use and that’s because there’s not much to them. In most cases, it’s a large, hollowed-out piece of silicone fitted with a host of vibrating features. You simply slip it on, power-up, and enjoy! However, they come with a bit of a disclaimer for some couples. Since vulva-owners need consistent and repetitive stimulation to orgasm, cock rings do more for the wearer than they’ll do for the other partner. Not a total loss, just something to keep in mind.
Why we love wearable vibrators
Unlike other sex toys, vibrating panties, egg vibrators, and cock rings are pretty damn discreet–which makes traveling and exhibitionism a little easier. They’re also incredibly versatile because you don’t need a partner to play with to make them any more enjoyable, so how you use them and who you use them with is completely up to you.
The best wearable vibrators a la vibrating panties, egg vibrators, and cock rings
As soon as you start your search, you’ll see that your options are nothing less than bountiful. Which on one hand is great, you have a lot of choices! But on the other, you have A LOT of choices. So to help you decide, we’ve rounded up the highest-rated vibrating panties and some of our personal favorite wearable vibrators, all of which you can get online.
1) The Club Vibe 3.oh by OhMibod
This phthalate-free wireless vibrator is smarter than any other wearable vibrator or vibrating panty, more giving too! It comes with its own black lace thong and rechargeable remote. Instead of just vibrating to the beat of its own drum, this baby will sync up to whatever music is playing. If you don’t feel like using the remote (or it’s out of reach for whatever reason) you can control the toy from your Apple Watch or you can just Ask Alexa to help you out. It’s important to note that this product is not compatible with the OhMiBod remote app.
If you like things more hands on, switch to manual mode and choose between five different vibration patterns. It’s even rechargeable, so you won’t have to worry about buying batteries. And unlike other vibrators, you can actually adjust the sound sensitivity on this thing! Cool, right? Yeah, we thought so too.
Price: $89
2) Queen of Hearts by Better Love
Designed with high-quality phthalate-free silicone, this wearable vibrator is easy-to-clean, waterproof, and can be wirelessly controlled with the included remote. The Queen of Hearts egg vibrator is 8″ of insertable fun for couples of all experience levels and has a run time of an hour in between charges (I just wish the remote was rechargeable, too).
As much as I personally love this toy, all 10 of its vibration modes, and how it conforms to the shape of your body, it wouldn’t be right to review this without a disclaimer that the Queen of Hearts (and all toys like it) is not recommended for butt stuff. Although this does have a decently long leash, the girth of the end is not thicker than the point meant for insertion meaning your butt could “eat” the toy and trust me, you don’t want that.
Price: $23.99 (regularly $74)
3) The plusOne vibrating ring
Cock rings are probably the most controversial sex toy, people either love ’em or hate ’em. The plusOne vibrating ring is no exception, but its relatively cheap price won’t have you torn up over cutting your losses should you decide you’re one of the people who hate cock rings. That said, this wearable vibrator is completely waterproof and designed with body-safe silicone. Despite it being flexible, depending on your girth, this toy (and other devices like it) may fit a little snug so we suggest double checking your measurements with the description of the device just to play it safe. And as always, don’t forget the lubricant!
Price: $24.99
4) SVAKOM’s Elmer egg vibrator
This wearable vibrator does the most. It’s 100% waterproof, designed with body-safe silicone, and can shuffle through 26 vibration modes for four hours before needing to be recharged (which is pretty amazing). Elmer’s ribbed design also sets it apart from other egg vibrators like it, so if you’re a fan of textured toys you will absolutely love this one by SVAKOM. If this is your first run-in with SVAKOM, please don’t let it be your last. The company is one of the few who actually innovate instead of replicate for “perfection,” so if you’re looking for some truly unique toys SVAKOM has got to be on the top of your list.
Price: $29.99 (regularly $39.98)
5) TuLips by Sweet Vibrations
Available in three fun colors and designed with silky smooth body-safe silicone, this vibrator features 10 vibration modes. Although it’s marketed as a clit vibrator, Tulips’ unique palm-shape design allows it to be repurposed as a wearable vibe–just slip it into the gusset of your undies and viola! DIY vibrating panties. Best of all, it comes with a forever warranty!
Price: $44.99-$49.99
6) The Vogue Burlesque vibrating panties
This set of vibrating panties with remote control features is a lot larger (and louder) than other bullet vibrators, according to reviewers. But those who said it was larger than vibrators they had used before wouldn’t call it a design flaw, they preferred it because it was easier to keep in place. So as long as you don’t mind some noise, this remote-controlled vibrator is designed with 10 vibration modes and has a wireless connection of up to 20 feet.
Price: $37.83
7) TENGA SVR
TENGA’S smart vibrating cock ring can definitely be used on its own but is seriously ideal for partnered play. It does host a noticeably smaller amount of vibration modes (this generation advertises only five) but that’s because TENGA prefers quality over quantity. So you can expect less shuffle settings but stronger vibrations.
Price: $49.99
8) The Companion by Clandestine Devices
This wearable remote vibrator is not like the rest. Offering users superior discretion with its smart watch-shaped wearable wrist remote, we get why the company named it the “Companion”. You’ll want to take this small (yet very powerful) vibe with you wherever you go. And thanks to its travel-locking features, 90-minute run time, and 60 foot control range, you can!
The innovation doesn’t stop at its wrist watch-like attachment, either. Its unisex design ensures anyone can enjoy it, regardless of anatomy. Additionally, most other wearable vibrators use the slit in a pair of underwear to stay in place. The Companion, however, has set the bar for all other devices with its secure fit magnets. At the base of the toy is one magnet. The other resides in the slim “cap” that you’ll use to put on the outer piece of your underwear. This allows users maximum adjustability and comfort–especially if they prefer to wear underwear with less coverage. Now, you’ll no longer fear the vibrator slipping out of your panties and down your leg!
What’s more is that this wearable vibrator was designed with the ultimate hedonist pleasure in mind. (And not just couples). So if you prefer to get off alone, don’t sweat it. The Companion is capable of supporting solo-play, too!
Designed with medical-grade silicone, the Companion is lube-friendly, waterproof, and body-safe. It’s also incredibly easy to clean and recharge, so your sexual hygiene won’t ever have to take a back seat. (Not that it should, ever). The device features seven vibration patterns and five speeds quiet enough that they won’t wake your neighborhood. From soft pulse to rough rumble, the Companion won’t give your secret away–unless you want it to.
