While you are probably in a rush to get one, you should not be. Acquiring the best lipstick vibrator requires looking in the right places and we are here to help you do that.
Realizing the headache that comes with picking the right lipstick vibrator out of the several options on the market, weโve tested the highest-rated products. Using factors such as design, vibration patterns, noise level, length, weight, materials, working time, amongst others, weโve identified six products as the best lipstick vibrators on the market.
Instead of stopping at identifying the top options, we will dissect each of them in our comprehensive review and also provide you with a detailed buying guide. Letโs get right to it!
More features: waterproof, ABS plastic casing, 5.3 oz weight, USB charging
Whether you are holding the Lelo Miaโข 2 lipstick vibrator in your hand or your purse, its discreet design means no one gets to know what you are up to. Itโs simply the best! Testing this vibe, we were quite impressed by its targeted and intense vibrations. Despite this toyโs small size, its power is nowhere near small. Also, it performs all kinds of functions, including thrilling, treating, and teasing you with up to 6 different pleasure settings. With these multiple modes, you get various options for customized and befitting pleasure. Besides performance, this vibrator is safe for your body, thanks to its ABS plastic and phthalate-free silicone construction.
Moreover, the Lelo Miaโข 2 lipstick vibratorโs many top features justify the sex toy as our editorโs choice. For example, it doesnโt only allow you to adjust vibration patterns and speeds, but it also offers a whisper-quiet operation that makes it discreet both in appearance and performance. Furthermore, this vibe is fully rechargeable and sports a USB port for that purpose. Another impressive feature is the toyโs whisper-quiet operation that makes it discreet both in appearance and performance. As you might have guessed, the Lelo Miaโข 2 is an upgraded version of Leloโs first lipstick vibrator and itโs a worthy upgrade that boasts various improvements. Apart from being 100% more powerful than its predecessor, the Miaโข 2 also features a 100% waterproof design that makes it suitable for use in any environment, dry or wet.
What are its best features?
Sleek and discreet design
Strong and intense vibrations
Six vibration patterns
Waterproof
Fully rechargeable
What could be improved?
No significant difference between variable vibration speeds
More features: waterproof, 60 dB noise level, hypoallergenic, USB charging
Taking its spot as one of the best lipstick vibrators on the market is the Honey Play Box Bisous. This lipstick sex toy is as discreet as you can ask for, thanks to its super-stylish lipstick design. With this vibe, rest assured that your privacy is always protected. In terms of performance, the toyโs nine vibration settings (three intensities and six vibration patterns) impressed us during the testing process. Frankly, we could not get enough of the exciting and unique vibrations the various modes deliver. Also, our eyes caught the vibeโs one-button function that makes operation a breeze. Additionally, the toy is waterproof, making it suitable for pleasure in the shower or tub.
Oh, have we mentioned that the Honey Play Box Bisous lipstick vibrator is the best for clit stimulation? The vibe is expertly designed to deliver pinpointed pleasure on your clit with a body-safe silicone tip. More impressively, the toy comes with three different tips that are interchangeable (pick your favorite!). Each tip provides your clit with pinpoint precision that triggers powerful clitoral orgasms. Although the Honey Play Box Bisous closely rivals the Lelo Miaโข 2 in terms of design and performance, the former falls short due to its louder operation that limits its discreetness.
What stands out?
Three intensities and six vibration patterns
USB magnetic charging
Three interchangeable, hypoallergenic silicone tips
More features: waterproof, battery powered, 90-day warranty
The CalExotics Hide & Play lipstick vibrator is another top vibe on our list and in fact, the most valuable option we tested. Boasting a truly sneaky design, this toy looks like a tube of pink lipstick in a glossy, sleek case. Unsurprisingly, it is made from high-quality materials including safe ABS plastic and hypoallergenic silicone. Besides, this vibrator performs as well as it looks. It boasts up to eight vibration functions with various sensations. For example, some of these vibration functions simply vibrate while others pulsate. The different functions leave you with multiple pleasure options. Thankfully, you can easily cycle through the vibration functions with the press of a button.
In our opinion, the CalExotics Hide & Play lipstick vibrator offers the best value, thanks to its numerous vital features and great price. So, if you thought we had finished talking about the vibratorโs features, you are mistaken. This toy sports an angled tip that anyone with a clitoris wants to have working its magic on their clit. The angled tip is also perfect for other sensitive, pinpoint areas such as nipples. Also, this vibrator is waterproof and ideal for shower play. It, however, disappoints in terms of battery. Unlike the Lelo Miaโข 2 and the Honey Play Box Bisous vibrators that use rechargeable batteries, Calexotics Hide & Play lipstick vibrator uses a 1N battery. Although the battery is included, we still wish it didnโt run on it because it is not the most accessible battery type out there.
More features: 1 in circumference, travel lock, 2-year warranty, USB charging
Once you encounter the We-Vibe Tango X lipstick vibrator as we did, you will not doubt its place among the best options on the market. Like other top lipstick vibrators, this vibe sports an unmistakable lipstick design that caught our eyes. On top of that, it is made of plastic and latex-free, phthalate-free silicone. These materials offer a durable service and will not irritate your body. Furthermore, this toy features up to seven vibration modes and eight intensity levels. Specifically, each of the seven vibration modes works with eight intensity levels, leaving you with plenty of options to find your favorite combination. Additionally, this vibrator lipstick sports a waterproof design that makes it ideal for use in the shower or tub.
In terms of power, the We-Vibe Tango X is the most powerful lipstick vibrator on the market. It boasts as much power as most regular vibrators. With this powerful vibrator, you get intense external stimulation as you have never experienced. Of course, that makes it perfect for clitoral stimulation and you canโt expect anything less than incredibly powerful orgasms. Trust us, this is one powerful vibe a sensitive person or newbie does not want to mess with. However, we are disappointed that this toy is for external use only unlike the Lelo Miaโข 2, for example, which can work inside your vagina as well as your clitoris. Overall, the We-Vibe Tango X is perfect for everyone who wants powerful, intense vibrations.
More features: waterproof, USB charging, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity
The Vibease Smart lipstick vibratorโs name is not a coincidence. In fact, it is one of the smartest vibrators on the market. Our first sight of this vibe while testing it showed us how impressive and realistic it looks. This sex toy boasts as many as six vibration patterns. These patterns provide you with a luxury of various pleasure options to explore and choose the perfect strength. Furthermore, this vibrator lipstick is water-resistant, making it suitable for play in the shower or the tub. Plus, it is rechargeable and offers up to two hours of play at full charge.
We were not messing around when we mentioned that the Vibease Smart lipstick vibrator is one of the smartest options around. On top of that, it has the best app connection of any lipstick vibrator we found on the market. Oh yeah, it is compatible with a mobile app that uses Bluetooth connectivity. With that app connection, this vibe offers you endless possibilities. Not only can you customize the vibration through the app, but you can also use it to sync vibration with your favorite erotic audiobooks. Also, you can use it for solo play or foreplay with your partner! No doubt, the Vibease Smart lipstick vibrator is a truly special vibe, that even the Lelo Miaโข 2 doesnโt offer its smart features.
More features: waterproof, battery powered, silicone tip
Testing the many top-rated lipstick vibrators on the market, the Tenga Iroha capped off our list of the best lipstick vibrators. Unsurprisingly, it sports a discreet design that wonโt arouse the slightest suspicion. Its light pink shade makes it the perfect lipstick disguise. Furthermore, this vibe comes with a soft silicone forked tip that is quite gentle on sensitive skin. Also, the toy features three easily adjustable vibration patterns. From gentle to intense vibration, you can tailor the stimulation to your taste. Additionally, this vibrator is 100% waterproof, making it ideal for wet play.
On top of being very compact, the Tenga Iroha Lipstick Vibrator uses an AAA battery, which makes it the best for travel. Even though being rechargeable like the Vibease Smart lipstick vibrator has its advantages, the lithium battery could be a problem on trips. Not only can the rechargeable battery be unsafe for travel, but recharging it can also be unfeasible. With an AAA battery, you do not need to care about the headache of recharging your Tenga Iroha Lipstick Vibrator before getting pleasure. At maximum strength, the battery lasts up to five hours. Overall, this vibe has everything we can think of in a perfect travel pleasure mate.
What makes it stand out?
Realistic lipstick design
Soft silicone is ideal for sensitive users
Waterproof
Travel-friendly
Which disadvantages must you keep in mind?
The forked tip may take some getting used to
Things to Consider
Every day, the popularity of lipstick vibrators keeps increasing and more products are entering the market. With a widening market comes the challenge of which is the right product to choose. To help you do away with that headache, we have developed a comprehensive buying guide. This guide has everything you need to buy the best lipstick vibrator. Read on below!
Even though lipstick vibrators are small in size, we recommend using lube with them
Since lipstick vibrators are not your regular vibrators, you might not know how best to use them. Below are some tips/steps for using a lipstick vibrator:
Step 1 โ Apply plenty of water-based lubricant to the vibrator
Step 2 โ Turn on the vibrator and explore the sensitive areas of the body such as the clitoris, nipples, and figure out what works for you.
Step 3 โ Once you find a โsweet spotโ, work the vibrator on it until you climax, preferably.
Step 4 โ Involve a partner if you want to spice things up.
How to Pick the Best Lipstick Vibrator
As we suggested earlier, certain factors should guide your choice of a lipstick vibrator. We will dissect all of those factors below:
Design
Design is perhaps the most important consideration when looking to buy a lipstick vibrator. By now, you know that lipstick vibrators are known for their unique designs that mimic actual lipsticks. The idea is to hide your fun toy in plain sight without anyone suspecting a thing.
Of course, we made sure that all of the vibrators we have picked look much like lipsticks, but some mimic actual lipsticks better than the others. For example, the Lelo Miaโข 2 vibrator sports an unmistakable lipstick design that is both sleek and discreet.
Likewise, the Tenga Iroha Lipstick Vibrator boasts a realistic lipstick design that looks very much like a beautiful shade of coral lipstick. Ultimately, your focus should be on opting for a lipstick vibrator that is very discreet and wonโt be found out easily by prying eyes.
Vibration patterns and speeds
Lipstick vibrators are gentle devices that usually feature several patterns and intensity levels
With vibrators, even lipstick variants, vibration is unarguably one of the most important features. Most lipstick vibrators feature multiple vibration patterns and speeds that allow you to customize vibrations to your taste. After all, one size never fits all. Most times, the more the vibration functions, the more the pleasure options you have to explore.
With multiple vibration options, you have a great chance to end up with a befitting vibration pattern and speed. That makes vibrators like the CalExotics Hide & Play and the Honey Play Box Bisous attractive choices, thanks to their more than seven vibration options.
However, having too many vibration modes can be a problem for some people. If you are in that category, a lipstick vibrator like the Tenga Iroha, which offers three vibration patterns, may be the ideal choice.
Noise level
Lipstick vibrators are all about discreetness, so itโs always a disappointment when you find a loud one. No one else but you (and your partner) should know what you are up to. No doubt, a loud vibrator can give you away. Therefore, you must be concerned about the noise level of the lipstick vibrator you are going for.
During our testing process, the Lelo Miaโข 2 and the We-Vibe Tango X lipstick vibrators impressed us the most with their whisper-quiet operations.
If you donโt have the luxury of testing your vibrator before buying it, you might find it difficult to know how loud it is. In that case, read user reviews on top online stores. Those reviews can provide you with firsthand information on a product.
Length and weight
Generally, lipstick vibrators are used to stimulate the clitoris and other external sensitive spots, so the length is not usually a big deal. However, some are designed for penetration, making length important. Also, length can contribute to the discreetness of a lipstick vibrator. Unsurprisingly, all the products on our list are less than 5 inches.
Ultimately, the choice is on your hands; whether you want a 4.4-inch Lelo Miaโข 2 for penetration or a 4-inch Honey Play Box Bisous that offers the clitoral stimulation you want.
Materials
Materials are big parts of all vibrators, including lipstick vibrators. They determine how safe and durable vibrators are. ABS plastic and silicone are the safest and most hypoallergenic materials in the industry and itโs no surprise most, if not all, of the products on our list are made of these materials. The Lelo Miaโข 2 and We-Vibe Tango X are two good examples of such vibrators.
Working time
Whether you are using a rechargeable lipstick vibrator or a battery-powered one, working time is an important factor you should consider. No one wants a vibrator that works for 30 minutes and goes off. That surely takes away from the fun. So, the longer the working time, the better.
For example, the two hour-working time of the Vibease Smart Lipstick Vibrator makes it very adequate. Also, the 5-hour working time the Tenga Iroha offers is impressive even though it doesnโt use a rechargeable battery. We recommend any vibrator that works as long as possible before you need to recharge or change the battery.
Charging time
Most lipstick vibrators have USB charger included, in just about 2 hours you get fully charged device
If you are opting for a rechargeable lipstick vibrator, you should consider its charging time. You donโt want to pick a vibrator that takes forever to attain full charge.
You should not go for a vibrator that has a longer charging time than working time. Rather, opt for a vibe that offers a generous charging time-working time ratio. For example, the 1.5-hour charging time for the two-hour working time that the We-Vibe Tango X and the Vibease Smart lipstick vibrators offer.
Extra features
Extra features are not the most important considerations but they are not without any importance. Extra features such as app compatibility (like that of the Vibease Smart Lipstick Vibrator), storage pouch/box, waterproof design, lubricant, can give you great value for your money.
Usually, lipstick vibrators come with pouches or boxes for discreet storage. You can store your lipstick vibrator in the included pouch or box. If your vibe doesnโt come with one, find a small, fitting box for it and store it dry in a drawer in your home.
All you need to clean the lipstick vibrator are warm water and liquid soap. Rub the soap on the vibe, gently scrub with your fingers, and rinse with warm water. Choosing a waterproof or splashproof design makes cleaning even easier.
Our Verdict
Lipstick vibrators are some of the most exciting sex toys on the market and itโs no surprise that demands for them are rising. Weโve identified and reviewed the top six products on the market. The Lelo Miaโข 2, our editorโs choice, is the standout product considering its incredible power, six vibration settings, whisper-quiet operation, etc.
In second place is the Honey Play Box Bisous which is almost as good as our editorโs choice with its pointed tip, nine vibration settings, and waterproof design. Popping up with the best value is the CalExotics Hide & Play which comes at a relatively low price but still offers some excellent features such as angled tip, eight vibration settings, and waterproof design.
No doubt, choosing any product from our list gives you a great chance of ending up with the best lipstick vibrator but be thorough when checking them out, so that you can make a perfect choice.
