Finding a Small Vibrator: Choosing Portable Toys
I have to admit, as much as I enjoy a complex toy that teases and sucks and penetrates, sometimes I just crave those familiar rumbly sensations that only come from a small vibrator.
You know the kind of night I am thinking about: you come home from a long day of work and are craving something that can quickly and easily help you relax.
No complicated settings, techy buttons, or awkward positioning. Small vibrators easily fit in the palm of your hand and oftentimes it takes just one button to let you cycle to your favourite vibration pattern, let your mind drift off to your most tempting fantasy, and in no time you are feeling yourself going from a zero to a ten in a pleasure department.
Or maybe, you have yet to experience that level of orgasmic pleasure and comfort before. In that case, let me go over a few reasons why you need to get yourself a small vibrator, ASAP.
They are powerful! Really powerful! I have noticed that as the sex toy industry has strived to improve the technology of its toys over the ages, tiny toys have only gotten stronger. So, you will find that a lot of mini vibrators are able to deliver powerful stimulation (and increased battery life!) that you would normally expect to come from something larger.
They are portable. Anticipating a sexy sleepover or self indulgent vacation getaway? Or maybe you want to spice things up on a date with your partner? Just throw one of these mini vibrators into your makeup bag, purse, or suitcase, you know, in case the mood strikes. You will thank yourself later!
Small vibrators are discreet. Because of their small size and unassuming shape, mini vibrators go easily undetected by wandering eyes and, unlike other toys, call hardly any attention to themselves. Go ahead, forget, and leave them on your bedside table or bathroom counter.
Clit stimulation is a must. A lot of women, including myself, need clit stimulation to reach orgasm. Small vibrators are not only amazing solo sex toys, but they can also be so easily used during penetrative sex or foreplay with your partner to help you reach orgasm more and more often during sex!
They are gender neutral. Some people with vaginas are turned off or just not interested in the idea of a realistic sex toy that resembles a penis. Small vibrators give you clitoral pleasure without requiring you to find any sort of sex organ appealing, so they are great choices for all people, no matter their sexuality or personal preferences. This also makes them a less intimidating choice to introduce your partner to using sex toys and vibrators together during sex!
Okay, now you see why I am a firm believer that every person with a vagina should have a small vibrator companion for travel, sex, and self pleasure. So, allow me to introduce you to the ones I proudly own and use. Read on for my list of the best small vibrators!
The Best Small Vibrator I Own
My #1 Choice for a Small Vibrator: The Lelo Mia 2
So, all of the sex toys I own from Lelo are such high quality and luxury choices, and this bullet vibrator is no exception.
What I love about this vibrator is how discreet it is; it looks exactly like a tube of lipstick or mascara container and for this reason, I take it everywhere with me. It really is my go-to travel buddy, and no one has ever guessed its undercover identity.
On top of its concealed double life, charging could not be easier with the Lelo Mia 2. It has this tiny cap that pops off and reveals a USB that you just simply plug into a charging port, no additional chords required!
Better yet, this lipstick mini vibrator has a curved tip for maximum clit stimulation and 6 pleasure settings to bring you all sorts of satisfying feels. Plus, it is 100% waterproof, so enjoy it in the tub as well (my favourite guilty pleasure after work!).
I bought my Lelo Mia 2 from the Lelo website, so it came with a really thoughtful 1 year warranty, 10 year guarantee, and free shipping.
My Runner Up: The Lovense Ambi
The Lovense Ambie has a very different appearance and design from my top choice, the Leo Mia 2, but let me explain just what makes this small vibrator such a stand out choice.
The Lovense Ambi has a unique shape that lets you control exactly how you feel and use this small vibrator. It has a broad vibrating head that you can decide the kind of rumbly sensation you want: “all-over” rumbles, pinpoint stimulation, or super pinpoint stimulation.
It also features an easy to hold handle that makes this toy so easy to use during sex in different positions with your partner. I love using bullet vibrators during sex to get more clitoral stimulation, but was getting so frustrated with tiny toys slipping out of my grip. So, the Lovense Ambi was a real life changer for me in this department.
If that is not enough to convince you, purchase the Lovense Ambi for its powerful vibrations and tech integration that allows you to control its settings via your smartphone! For my ladies in long distance relationships, this can be a really fun way to “feel” your partner control your pleasure even when they are far away.
The Best Unique Design: The We-Vibe Touch
I used to be a big believer of the “if it ain’t broken, don’t fix it” mindset when it comes to bullet vibrators, but that I bought the We-Vibe touch. The We-Vibe Touch has been one of We-Vibe’s top sellers for over 10 years, and here is why.
This clever mini vibrator is almost shaped like a finger pointed down, and its soft silicone casing makes this toy feel so natural and welcoming against your most sensitive areas. That is why “Touch” is really the perfect name for it!
Its curvy design is also more flat than traditional bullet vibrators, which I find works exceptionally well when I want to use the We-Vibe Touch during sex. This toy’s curves fit naturally between my boyfriend and I, partciularlly in missionary positon, and we both love the rumbly sensation it adds to sex.
Small but mighty, the We-Vibe Touch has 8 different pleasure settings, ranging from a contrast vibration to teasing patterns like pulses, waves, and my personal favourite, “the Cha-Cha”.
My Most Classic Small Vibrator Choice: The Lovehoney Deluxe Rechargeable Mini Massage Wand Vibrator
What I love about this vibrator is that it takes the classic design of the vibrating wand, makes it smaller, and truly looks like a tiny microphone!
A lot of people love the tried, tested, and true design of the Hitachi Wand but need something smaller, and this Lovehoney Deluxe Mini Wand Vibrator provides that exact solution. Creative, right?
What is even better is the powerful pleasure this Lovehoney Deluxe Mini Wand Vibrator delivers: you can customize both the vibration patterns and intensity to get the exact sensations that you are craving to send you over the edge.
Because of its slim, easy to hold handle and flexible design, the Lovehoney Deluxe Mini Wand Vibrator is another small vibrator that is there for you during solo and partner play.
Get that arousing clit stimulation you desire in so many different sex positions, or hand it to your partner during foreplay, to make your regular sex routine that much more orgasmic.
The Most Intelligent Small Vibrator I Have Used: The Lelo Lyla 2
Listen up sex toy adventurers, because you will absoultely be interested in the Lelo Lyla 2, one of the smartest and most versatile hands-free toys I have enjoyed yet.
How does it work? This small vibrator can be used as a hand held or wearable toy, and it comes with a wireless remote that you can pass off to your partner. You can be standing up to 39 feet away from each other and still be at the mercy of their decisions to tease and play with the arousing settings on this powerful vibrator!
Picture all the different uses: wear the Lelo Lyla 2 to a restaurant or for a night out for some spicy and exciting foreplay scenarios. Or, use it around the house to add a fun power dynamic to your partner play. I even like to use the remote on my own during self pleasure sessions, because it is a nice change from having to reach down and control the toy manually.
Even more enticing, the Lelo Lyla 2 is rechargeable, 100% waterproof, and is a global bestseller, so you know it is great!
My Best Budget Friendly Choice: The Tracey Cox Supersex Bullet Vibrator
Sometimes you just want a mini vibrator to do what it is made to do, without any extra frills and definitely without the extra cost. Enter the Tracey Cox Supersex Bullet Vibrator from Lovehoney.
This is another small vibrator that could easily pass as just another make-up container or lip balm tube in your purse or carry-on. Its mini dimensions (2 inches x 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches) easily fit in the palm of your hand during use, and also help make it so portable!
The Tracey Cox Supersex Bullet Vibrator is battery powered and operates at a single speed, but it is also known for being super powerful. This is a great option for people who prefer a traditional and constant vibrating sensation on and around their clit, and need the extra motor power to really send them over the edge.
What I also love about this toy is that despite its extra powerful vibrations, it is still quiet enough to keep your pleasure a secret, and let your mind focus on what really matters.
My Favourite Power Packed Mini Vibrator: The We-Vibe Tango X Lipstick Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator
We-Vibe does it again with another thoughtfully designed, discreet, and portable small vibrator, let me introduce you to the We-Vibe Tango X Lipstick Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator!
Why I love this toy and added it to my collection as soon as I could: packed into its tiny dimensions, the We-Vibe Tango X Lipstick Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator has 7 distinct vibration modes that can each be easily adjusted to different intensity levels.
In my experience, these versatile power controls make this toy incredibly useful for edging. Take my word for it: once you feel yourself getting close to orgasm with this bullet vibrator, back off on the intensity or stop the vibrations altogether, work yourself up again, and then repeat.
Do this for as long as it feels good, and then when you do let yourself orgasm, I promise it will be powerful! Talk about self pleasure, right?
Aside from this arousing fun, the We-Vibe Tango X Lipstick Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator is also a perfect travel companion. It has, as the name suggests, a shape like a lipstick tube to go easily undetected. This bullet vibrator is also equipped with a travel lock, so no need to fear sudden vibrators coming from your carry on!
The Bottom Line
A few things to keep in mind with the small vibrators on this list: these are designed for external use and pleasure only, so they will not really provide any stimulation internally, and are not made for that use.
You also need to keep these little toys clean! The waterproof ones can easily be dipped in warm soapy water to wash, and anything that is not waterproof can be wiped with a clean washcloth to take care of the toy.
Overall, as a sex blogger and sex toy enthusiast, I know first hand the importance of putting your pleasure first- you deserve it! Whether you have already built up a small collection of sex toys, or you are just now dipping your toes into the world of bullet vibrators, your pleasure is worth the purchase!
