Written by Emily Stephens (she/her) for The Rising Womxn Zine

Female self-pleasure is often hush hush, but thanks to companies like Ann Summers and Smile Makers, sexual education has been reformed and pleasure is at the forefront of discussion. Sex is a natural and enjoyable part of life, and should be treated as such, so we’ve put together some of our top sex toys for everyone with a vulva and/or clitoris to enjoy!

Inspired by the classic rabbit style vibe, vitality+ is a clever dual motor vibe with two pleasure buds by Leaf+. A deep vibration is in the larger tip while a strong one is in the other. Its shape encourages you to experiment with each combination of any 3 vibration speeds or 2 pattern functions offering incredible sensations. 

Although this vibe is a little pricey, Leaf+ won the 2015 ‘Best Eco-Friendly’ Sex Toy’ title at the Sex Expo awards in Los Angeles - so with its ethical and eco-friendly ethos, splashing out on a little treat isn’t too bad.
