I'm very partial to the Hitachi Magic Wand, also a favorite of many ladies. The only real faults are that it has a cord (there is now a cordless version however) and maybe it gets the job done a little too fast. It can also be too intense for some ladies. The nice thing about this one is that it also works very well to stimulate your partner as you're in her, if she likes that sort of thing.
Speaking of "too intense" my very favorite is the Sybian. A few ladies here have experienced mine. The unique things about this device are: power (3500 RPM at max), and that it both vibrates and rotates. Fortunately you are not limited to the top-power setting. You control it with a dial and it can go anywhere from almost nothing to OMG WHAT IS HAPPENING-level. There are also a variety of attachments available, and they can be covered with condoms for safety. In case it isn't clear from the picture, you straddle this and "ride" it.
Another interesting toy is the Eroscillator. The Eroscillator's claim to fame is that it oscillates rather than vibrates, creating a unique sensation. It is good for ladies who like a lot of direct clitoral stimulation, but is not nearly as intense as something like the Hitachi.
A relative newcomer on the scene, the Womanizer is different from any other toy in that it doesn't vibrate, but does a "sucking" motion on the clit. It is quite gentle, but that is deceptive, because I've also seen it produce orgasms between 30 seconds to a minute after starting. Maybe too fast!
Rabbit vibes have been around for a long time of course, and are great for ladies that like simultaneous penetration and clitoral stimulation. They now have some that are waterproof and also have some rotation and variable speed vibration settings as well.
The Wahl massager isn't specifically marketed as a sex toy (nor is the Hitachi, wink wink), but certainly has its applications. Some of the attachments are good for very powerful and direct clitorial stimulation for those that can tolerate it. It is also one that can be used for male stimulation via the cup-shaped attachment connected to it in the photo below.
Another unique toy is the We Vibe - so named because it is meant to stimulate both male and female while having sex. Good idea in theory, but in practice it didn't really seem powerful enough to me.
I've had a few other toys over the years but these are the most interesting ones. Interested to hear what any ladies' other favorites are, or if you've experienced any of these and your thoughts about them.
