The Best Accessible Sex Toys

This vibrator is inserted and externally stimulates the clitoris, while the slim shape also allows for penetrative sex while wearing. The vibrator is controlled by a button or via the app, so you can play hands-free. There are different vibrational settings and patterns you can control by dragging your finger in the app, and the app can be shared and controlled by a long-distance partner (in theory).

I found that trying to have a partner with a penis inserted while wearing was just uncomfortable. The vibrations also weren't super powerful, even at the highest setting. The app also didn't support long-distance partnered play—when I sent the code to a partner, it would make him connect to the toy via Bluetooth as if he were the one using it, and it would kick me off the toy. We were never able to get the long-distance feature to work. I had some issues with this vibrator during testing, but I would still recommend it because of its easy-fit design that keeps the vibe in place and its connected app, both of which allow for a truly hands-free experience.

Accessibility features: Hands-free, app-controlled wearable.

This tiny, wearable vibrator is designed with small, flexible wings that fit inside your labia to make sure it stays put during partnered sex without having to hold it. The wearer just needs a vulva, because it can be used with penetrative or non-penetrative sex, and anal, as well as with the wearer face down or up. The hands-free device has three vibrational settings and is controlled by pushing on the top. While it can be used without a partner, one may be required to insert or push the top button, depending on the wearer's hand/arm mobility/length. But once it's on, the wearer can pretty much let the wearable vibrator do its thing for hands-free play.

Accessibility features: wearable that fits inside the labia for hands-free play, with or without a partner.

This waterproof toy can be used with a flaccid or erect penis because of its oscillating PulsePlate Technology that has seven modes of vibration with adjustable frequency, including a raised bump for the penis head and patterned vibrations on expanding wings for the shaft. It has buttons on the side and a small remote, so you don't need to hold or power the device directly. It has a curved, vibrating underside that's ideal for use with partners with vulvas.

Although I found it to be too hard and uncomfortable for prolonged mutual play during testing, it'd be a valuable tool for partners with vulvas where penetration is too painful, or when penis erection can't be achieved on its own. (Read our full review here.) I also found it worked better on partners with smaller penises, because of the tight wings and the device's tendency to slide down to the base of the penis.

Warning: The device is heavy, and during testing, partners used their hands to keep the device upright/in place. If the wearer isn't able to use their hands, a pillow could be used to keep the toy upright. The remote was unreliable at times, but I think it'd be a valuable tool for people who can't use their hands to achieve orgasm, or for partnered play where insertion isn't possible.

Accessibility features: Works with flaccid or erect penises via a remote and offers several motion types that don't require hand or arm movement.

Alternative: Hot Octopuss Solo for $120: This model is essentially the same as above, without the vibrating ridge for partners with vulvas and no remote for easier, hands-free control. If you're able to press the buttons, this device could still be propped up for hands-free use and can achieve orgasm from a flaccid position. Although partners found it to be a bit small and heavy during testing.

This device looks like a normal silicone, stretchy penis ring used to enhance sensation, but it's also connected to an app, where you can adjust vibrational settings and patterns, play games or music that change vibes, and measure metrics during sex. The device can be powered on and off manually from a small, removable chip that charges via USB and fits in a pocket in the silicone ring. The ring has seven vibrational settings and worked well with partners of all penis sizes. The connected app was a bit buggy, though, and three different times during sex crashed and stopped the vibes. Mood killer.

Accessibility features: app-controlled vibes for hands-free play. (May work best with a partner, since the vibrations/motion aren't strong enough for most to reach orgasm using the device alone.)

I tried three toys from Cute Little Fuckers, a brand created by disabled people and designed for all types of bodies and abilities. Most are ergonomically designed to be easy to hold in various positions or can stand erect for hands-free grinding or penetration. Each toy comes with a backstory, a description, and a helpful graphic explainer of how best to use it, along with a follow-up email a week after receiving to give more tips on how to make the most of the toy.

Of all CLF toys I tested, this was my favorite. It's controlled via a button (that requires hands-on touch), has five speeds and patterns, and sports an easily removable charging port for safer cleaning. The bulbous shape and flayed tentacles made it easy to hold in my small hand with less grip. The toy can nestle into the clitoral hood for hands-free solo or partnered play, the tentacles hug sensitive areas, and the head is small enough to be used as a butt plug. Princette, like all CLF toys I tested, offers tons of ways to play, and it doesn't require much grip or fine motor skills to use.

Accessibility features: ergonomic design for easy control without needing a grip; can be used for insertion for hands-free play.

Alternative: Cute Little Fuckers Morrie for $79: This toy has a similar shape to Princette above, with a bulbous head. However, it has a flat, bendable silicone base to curve around a penis shaft or press flat against body parts. The shape allows for easy hold in multiple positions without needing much grip, and the edges have concentrated vibes for pinpoint stimulation.

This pad sits on any surface and has two vibrating bumps for clitoral and/or anal stimulation, as well as a vibrating, penis-shaped stimulator for G-spot or anal penetration. Each has seven vibrational settings per zone, with a connected remote so you or your partner can adjust them without moving the pad. The silicone pad is also waterproof and USB rechargeable (you'll also need to charge the remote before using).

It's ideal for anyone who wants clitoral or penetrative stimulation but can't hold a toy. If you have a larger body or mobility issues that prevent you from bending your knees, I recommend placing the device on a pillow to bring it closer for stronger vibration and better leverage. (You could also use lying face down.)

Accessibility features: vibrating pad for hands-free use (internal or external); connected remote for easier accessibility.

Similar to the above, this waterproof silicone pad comes with a remote for easier control and has four speeds and seven patterns, with two mounds for pulsation and vibration. The pad is perfect for grinding, humping, and sitting on for external stimulation for folks who may not want to be penetrated. The connected remote allows you (or a partner) to change speed and pattern without needing to flip the device over or handle it during play (the remote will need to be charged). Like the other pad I tested, this is extremely low to the ground, and I recommend putting it on a pillow to bring the vibes closer to the body and relieve pressure on the legs. You could also just lie belly down on this if you aren't able to use your legs. Be forewarned that the pad is very, very loud, and the remote was finicky. The vibes could be stronger and the toy could be quieter, but if paired with a pillow, this is a great way to have hands-free clitoral stimulation.

Accessibility features: vibrating pad for hands-free use; connected remote for easier accessibility.

This velvety-smooth silicone butt plug has a tapered shape for easier insertion and a curved stop to make insertion and removal easier. It can be turned on with the button at the base, and it includes a remote for easier control, reducing the need for hand coordination. (Once it's in, you can just press a button on the remote to control for mostly hands-free use.) It has seven vibrational settings, and it can be used solo or with partners.

Accessibility features: connected remote for easier accessibility and control.

A pillow used specifically for sex can be a very simple but effective tool in making sex more accessible, whether that's for solo or partnered use (more on that in the FAQs below). This long pillow is made from a dense, structured foam and has a vertical ridge and two differently angled holes to mount toys for optional hands-free sex toy use. This pillow comes with a traditional wand vibrator that has 10 settings and is controlled via buttons. If you want hands-free solo play, stick the vibrator on the top and straddle the pillow from above, or put the vibrator in the rear hole and push the pillow into the pubic area.

I also used this pillow sans vibrator with partners of varying body types. I found the pillow helped prop my body in a myriad of positions to reach angles more effectively while using it with partners who have smaller penises or bigger bodies. If one or both partners don't have full control or use of their limbs, the pillow provides a stable way to prop yourself up for more effective penetration.

Accessibility features: The structured pillow allows for different positions and angles without relying on the body's movement or strength; two angled holes allow for hands-free use of toys.

This sex toy holder is an affordable way to use your devices hands-free at a multitude of angles, heights, and surfaces. The device features a strong suction-cup base and adjustable straps that hold multiple toy types in place, and the toy angle can be adjusted to fit the user's body. You can attach a vibrator (I used it with the very large and heavy Le Wand Massager ($180)) and grind against it for hands-free use, put a dildo in it for penetrative sex, or use a Fleshlight-type toy for penis insertion. Not only is this cheap device helpful for those with hand and arm mobility issues, but the suction cup base can also be stuck to any flat surface, including walls and desks, so if you are in a wheelchair or other mobility device, you can place it and angle it where it works best for you. Plus, the Velcro straps are easier to adjust than something like a buckle or tie for people with limited fine motor skills and strength like me.

Accessibility features: sex toy mount with suction cup that works on any hard surface; adjustable angles and straps for hands-free use.

This colorful vibrator is an updated, ergonomic, and accessible riff on the classic Rabbit vibrator style. It has a long, rumbling, thrusting shaft for internal stimulation with five intensity patterns and a bendy, short external arm with seven intensity settings and five patterned vibrations. It's controlled by two raised buttons, allowing independent use of each arm. Unbound Babes is committed to accessibility, and many of the brand's toys reflect this, including an ergonomic triangular handle that can be gripped or pressed against an object for grinding (or held by a partner) to find the best angle for your body.

Accessibility features: ergonomic handle for easier holding or wedging for hands-free grinding; two raised, easy-to-push buttons.

This colorful, compact vibrator is like a contemporary, more accessible Magic Wand. This small, silky silicone vibrator has a bulbous head with four speeds and vibration patterns and is controlled with just one button. Although the user must press the button to operate, I appreciate the ergonomic, grippy handle that is easy to hold even with my small, weak hand, and it can be wedged with a pillow for truly hands-free use. The handle is non-vibrating as well, making it easier to hold and use for extended periods across all body types and abilities. I also appreciated its light weight and shape that made it easy to use during partnered sex without getting in the way too much.

Accessibility features: ergonomic, lightweight, and non-rumbling handle for easier holding or wedging for hands-free grinding.

This angled arm provides extension for sex toys to make solo or partnered play easier for people with shorter arms, bigger stomachs/bodies, or pregnant people who may not be able to reach their genitals. The included vibrator/dildo is made from velvety silicone and has an angled head for versatile touch, with just one button for control, and 10 vibrational settings. The ribbed extender makes gripping easier, but if you have less strength in your hand, like me, it may be useful to rig to a holder, strap, or wedge, or only use it in partnered play. The extended angled handle helps to make using sex toys especially beneficial for folks who may not be able to open or have much movement in their hips or legs, those with short arms, and those with big stomachs that may not be able to reach their genitals traditionally.

Accessibility features: extended, angled handle for people with shorter arms or bigger bellies.
