best quiet vibrators HERO
Sofia Kraushaar for PureWow

You, me, your roommates—we're all hopefully sex-positive. But as of yet, we're not as open about using our sex toys as we are, say, our electric toothbrush. (Come to think of it, who really wants to think of their roommate using their electric toothbrush, even?) So, until the time (never, we hope) that we are all completely uninhibited and unabashed about all things sexual, we're all for keeping our use of vibrators as -hibited and -bashed as possible—we're talking way discreet, quiet vibrators. While a completely silent vibrator is an oxymoron, we've rounded up the best, next-to-silent tools out there. They're all available for discreet online purchase, and the list includes something for everyone (yes, you too, romping couples). Our best overall pick is the Lelo Dot ($179; $120) because of how it focuses on the clitoris, is easy to hold and very quiet. So, for all the trips to stay with your parents, house guest invites and even just taking care of business after your S.O. is already asleep, check out our favorite quiet vibrators.

What We Like

  • powerful vibrations

What We Don't Like

  • no suction
  • too many options for vibration/licking patterns

Phanxy

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: one hour
  • Standout review: "This is a rose-shaped adult clitoral or nipple licker with nine tongue-licking movements and nine thrusting g-spot vibrators. It's a one-of-a-kind toy with various purposes.

What We Don't Like

What We Like

  • easy to clean
  • strong vibration speeds

What We Don't Like

  • only one hour of run time
  • only for external pleasure

Discretion and power are the buzzwords (!) for this bullet vibrator that has 17 patterns of vibration and three intensities. Our favorite thoughtful little extra: The carry case has an opening to fit the power cord through, so you can leave this discreetly charging on your bedside table without housekeeping being any the wise.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run time: one hours
  • Standout review: "It's little but delivers a mighty orgasm, different speeds/vibration strength to choose from and a few wave patterns but I prefer the continuous vibration." —a Lovehoney customer

6. Smile Makers The Artist

What We Like

  • adjustable positioning
  • internal and external stimulation

What We Don't Like

  • kind of large
  • takes 2.5 hours to charge

Smile Makers

Two powerful motors—one for the internal arm and the other for the external—and still so quiet! That's the verdict on this rabbit-style vibrator that can also be used for simultaneous clitoral and anal play. Plus, a genius design innovation allows users to switch vibration intensities by just squeezing the handle.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: two hours
  • Standout review: "[It's] bigger than I expected it to be which was honestly a little intimidating at first, but super happy with it. [The] settings are easy to toggle between and the material it’s made out of is really smooth, high quality and comfortable." —a Smile Makers Customer

Best Remote Control Vibrator

7. We-Vibe Chorus Couples Vibrator

What We Like

  • fast charge time
  • long distance use options

What We Don't Like

  • can lose the remote easily
  • app is slightly confusing

We-Vibe

This high-tech vibrator can be turned on remotely via the app, which allows the controller to manipulate its dual vibration motors through ten speeds. But it's not just for long-distance couples play—a remote control lets you put the device in place and then turn on whichever motor and speed you like, during solo or couples play. As for its noise level? Users report wearing it in public (dinner, the movies) and not being detected.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: not listed
  • Standout review: "This toy is next level. I was hesitant at first because of how it is supposed to be used but once I got it situated and turned it on it all made sense. The different levels of intensity and vibration were unmatched by any other toy I have used." —a Lovehoney Customer

Best Hands-Free Vibrator

8. Dame Products Eva 2

What We Like

  • clitoral stimulation
  • adjustable fit

What We Don't Like

  • expensive
  • doesn't stay in place very well

Dame

This little gadget has wings that spring out, nestling under the outer labia to rest between partners during penetrative vaginal sex. Or it can be fit around the outer labia—whatever the user or users want, in order to leave the device in place without having to hold it.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: two hours
  • Standout review: "If you don't have one yet. You need one." —an Amazon customer

9. Ft London G Vibe 3 Dual Vibrator

What We Like

  • dual stimulation
  • slim design

What We Don't Like

  • indiscreet design
  • expensive

FT London

The two pliable wings and handle allow simultaneous stimulation of the G‑spot and the opposite wall of vagina and the entrance of vagina or the man's prostate. And since the wings fold together, there's no stretching to insert this vibrator (a rarity among G-spot-specific devices).

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: two hours
  • Standout review: "Very pleasant toy with different vibration modes and speeds. There is a manual inside with a variety of ways to use it. It would definitely shake up your and your partner's sexual life." —an Amazon customer

Best Bullet for Beginners

10. Mantric Rechargeable Bullet Vibrator

What We Like

  • 10 vibration modes
  • strong vibrations

What We Don't Like

  • design can be hard to hold onto, especially in the tub
  • easy to turn on accidentally

Lovehoney

The tapered end is great for steady external pressure, and the one-button controls are unintimidating for newbies. Plus, it's all waterproof, making this great to really rocket tub time to the next dimension in relaxation, but quietly.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: not listed
  • Standout review: "Compared to my last bullet vibrator I feel like this one has a stronger vibration which is amazing to use, especially with all the different speed settings! I love it. It also is very smooth and soft which is really nice." —a Lovehoney customer

Best Metal Vibrator

11. Crave Bullet

What We Like

  • small shape
  • strong vibrations

What We Don't Like

  • metal is cold
  • run time is under two hours

Crave

It's metal and waterproof, talk about durability. This stylish 2.5-inch long vibe comes in gold and silver, and it looks more like jewelry than a vibrator. But for external stimulation, it does the trick, and quietly.

Fast Facts

  • Material: stainless steel
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: 1.5 hours
  • Standout review: "Exactly what I was looking for, A rechargeable bullet. The build quality is good. Vibrations are strong. Form factor and design are perfect." —an Amazon customer

Best Clitoral Vibrator

12. Je Joue Rabbit Bullet Vibrator

What We Like

  • low frequency vibrations
  • hugs clitoris

What We Don't Like

  • frequently out of stock
  • buttons are hard to see

Je Joue

At less than four inches long, this design combines the best of the bullet vibrator with the pizzazz of a rabbit model (dual clitoral stimuli). Je Joue's low-frequency rumbling is quiet, but seems to penetrate more deeply than buzzy bullets, to produce deeper climaxes.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: not listed
  • Standout review: "This was my first toy, and my favorite of them all. I have tried other vibrators, but nothing compares to the rabbit ears. I love that it’s compact and easy to travel with. Small but mighty!" —a Je Joue customer

Best Palm Vibrator

13. Unbound Babes Bean Vibrator

What We Like

  • six vibration patterns
  • two hour run time

What We Don't Like

  • can be hard to hold onto
  • hard to find the buttons

Unbound Babes

For a broad-surface vibration, nothing beats a palm vibrator. This body-safe silicone model is easy to operate, lightweight and whisper quiet. Reviewers mention that the shape can slip out of your hand easily, but overall has a comfortable feel in the hand. It has six vibration modes and is rechargeable while also has an option for AAA batteries.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery and AAA batteries
  • Run Time: two hours
  • Standout review: "The multiple speeds is great!! Sometimes it takes me a second to figure out how to properly turn it off but I [definitely] recommend." —an Unbound Babes customer

Best Wavy Shaft Bullet

14. Lovehoney Silencer Vibrator

What We Like

  • three speeds
  • only one button

What We Don't Like

  • not flexible
  • have to replace batteries

Lovehoney

The single push-button on this purring vibrator makes it easy to operate and the seven-inch insertable length means it's going to work for a wide range of users. And the rippled shaft? A game-changer from the usual slick texture of most vibrators.

Fast Facts

  • Material: plastic
  • Power type: battery operated
  • Run Time: not listed
  • Standout review: "I’ve always struggled with orgasming, but this has become a game changer. The perfect amount of vibration and it hits the spot internally for a super intense O. I definitely would recommend to anyone." —a Lovehoney customer

Best Clitoral Vibrator

15. Desire Luxury Clitoral Vibrator

What We Like

  • easy-hold shape
  • eight vibration modes

What We Don't Like

  • hard to naturally reach buttons while using
  • sells out frequently

Lovehoney

The tapered tip of this vibrator lets you position its four-inch length with precision, and the many pulsing and throbbing patterns and speeds mean you can find the one that's juuuust right. But even with all that, users report it as being extra quiet.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: not listed
  • Standout review: "This is a great toy. It has a variety of speeds and intensity which meets whatever mood I am in. Sometimes I like to take my time. Other times I want to get there as fast as I can with as much toe-curlling intensity as possible. The design is perfect for my every mood. You simply cannot go wrong with purchasing this gem." —a Lovehoney customer

Best Wand

16. PinkCherry Baby Nubby Mini Wand

What We Like

  • mini size
  • flexible head

What We Don't Like

  • may be thought to be to small
  • easy to lose

PinkCherry

Its round, textured head and powerful rumblings are mighty even though it's super small. It has a silky smooth silicone head and plastic handle for an easy hold. Wand styles are classics since they're so easy to hold and manipulate, and this waterproof model does just that.

Fast Facts

  • Material: ABS plastic and silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: 2.5 hours
  • Standout review: "So small but so powerful! This little vibe can bring me to orgasm in a few minutes. Is also super quiet!" —a PinkCherry customer

Best Anal Vibrator

17. Geron Anal Vibrator

What We Like

  • easy to clean
  • stays in place

What We Don't Like

  • not wearable
  • no reviews

Geron

The ergonomic design keeps this gizmo from slipping out once it's in place, as well as maximizing prostate stimulation. Ten speeds mean there's an intensity for every stage of sex play, up to 90 minutes on one charge.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone and ABS plastic
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: 90 minutes
  • Standout review: none available

Slimmest Vibrator

18. California Dreaming Laguna Beach Lover

  • lock button
  • 10 vibration pattern modes

What We Don't Like

  • 45 minute run time
  • only three levels of intensity

Calexotics

Three speeds of flicking action of the tapered flexible end of this vibrator mimic the action (and with textured silicone, feel) of a tongue. The charging port closes to make this waterproof, and the whole operation hums, not roars.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: 45 minutes to two hours
  • Standout review: none available

Best Warming Vibrator

19. Sway Vibrator

What We Like

  • warming
  • internal and external stimulation

What We Don't Like

  • expensive
  • sells out quickly

Lora DiCarlo

The ergonomic design of this double-ended vibrator is enough to win you over (each has its own head shape for hitting your G-spot). Add to that, the Sway has a warming design that gently and evenly heats up, without hot spots, plus seven intensity settings and no big noisy operation.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: one hours
  • Standout review: "It provides excellent movement, and all sides and angles have worked great." —an Amazon customer

Best Cock Ring

20. Imo Full Silicone Vibrating Cock Ring

What We Like

  • long battery life
  • his and hers pleasure

What We Don't Like

  • button is hard to find
  • indiscreet shape

IMO

Slip the stretchy bands of this penis ring around the penis to delay ejaculation for men, while their partner can press against the vibrations coming from the just-under four-inch vibrator. And it's also useful as a handheld nipple stimulator—at no louder than a quiet rainfall.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: more than two hours
  • Standout review: "This toy is really effective and we both feel very connected while using it. Once deployed it's really nice to focus on each other and let it work along with our interactions pretty seamlessly. We've tried several positions with it also, I would agree it helps to have it between the partners for their bodies to both press into it." —an Amazon customer

Best Panty Vibrator

21. Leaf Spirit Plus Vibrator

What We Like

  • remote control operated
  • flexible

What We Don't Like

  • dies without warning
  • may move around when wearing

Leaf

A wireless remote controls this through seven speeds of whispery rumbling that can be slipped inside underwear and worn in public, with no one knowing. It's waterproof, too. There's no inner core to this vibrator, too, meaning it's going to be soft and flexible no matter what position you're in.

Fast Facts

  • Material: silicone
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: two hours
  • Standout review: "We have had our leaf for over a year and considered it a must have toy. It charges extremely fast and last for a very long time. It has multiple settings and speeds that the remote controls from quite a distance. My only complaint is that you can not see the remaining time or battery percentage." —an Amazon customer

Best Dildo

22. Fun Factory Stronic G Vibrator

What We Like

  • travel lock
  • waterproof

What We Don't Like

  • 40 minute battery life minimum
  • slightly heavy

Fun Factory

This USB-rechargeable vibrator silently thrusts forward in your choice of ten speeds for a unique vibrator experience. And since the base right by the handle is thicker, you'll get external stimulation at the same time. Win-win.

Fast Facts

  • Material: body-safe materials
  • Power type: rechargeable battery
  • Run Time: 40 to 120 minutes
  • Standout review: "Speaking as someone who's stamina tends to evaporate rather quickly after several minutes of strenuous, rapid thrusting, this toy is a Godsend. I can lay back and just enjoy the ride." —a Fun Factory Customer

What to Consider When Shopping for Quiet Vibrators

Quiet vibrators are easier to come by these days as that's what many people are looking for when they're shopping for a sex toy. Whether you have roommates or travel a lot or the motor sound just throws you out of the mood, you should keep in mind a few things when looking for a quiet vibrator.

  • Material: most of the time, silicone vibrators, or at least vibrators with silicone included in the design are very quiet as the material absorbs a lot of the vibration sound, unlike plastic or metal ones.
  • Functionality: Does it just vibrate? Does it vibrate while also rotating, thrusting, suctioning or something else? Odds are if it performs multiple functions it's going to sound a bit louder than if the motor just powers a simple vibration.
  • Travel vibrators: Toys that are advertised as travel vibrators usually have a quiet motor to keep things discreet during travel play time. If you're in the market for a super quiet vibrator, we would recommend going this route.
