Lipstick vibrators are the answer to so many of life’s problems. Need an on-the-go vibrator that blends in with regular purse stuff? You need a lipstick vibe. Love a femme aesthetic and crave pinpoint stimulation? You need a lipstick vibe. Want something small and cute that will also make your sex life hotter than Death Valley? Say it with me: you need a lipstick vibe. Yet, choosing the wrong one can leave you with something buzzy, clunky, and disappointing.
But don’t worry; I’ve tried what seems like every device under the sun, and I have lots of feelings about which are the best. I won’t keep you in suspense: the best lipstick vibrator is the reigning champ: LELO MIA 3. Its chic, powerful, resilient design can’t be topped. But let’s talk about some others you may want to consider before adding a new sexy accessory to your makeup bag. Without any further ado, here are the seven best lipstick vibrators I’ve ever tested.
Test Winner: LELO MIA 3
LELO MIA 3 is our favorite lipstick vibrator because the all-silicone body makes it the most comfortable model on this list. Our testers also liked that it’s the most silent lipstick vibrator they tested.
App-Controlled: Lovense Exomoon
Lovense Exomoon has the best smartphone app. The discreet design has a pointed tip for precise stimulation and with the mobile app, you can explore unlimited vibration patterns, sound-activated vibrations, sensual alarms, and music sync.
Budget Pick: Iroha Stick
The iroha stick came as a surprise to me. The price is extraordinarily low, yes, but it’s more than that. I couldn’t get enough of its aesthetic and quality, which aren’t usually things that impress me in a budget lipstick vibrator.
Meet The Tester
Hi, I’m Angela Kempf, a sex writer and product tester by day, and someone who can’t take anything seriously also by day. I love to try new things, both inside and outside of the bedroom, and I take novelty and pleasure seriously. I’m committed to stigma-reduction, and I love inclusive toys.
Integrity is important to us here at My Sex Toy Guide. We buy each and every review sample with our own money, and we never accept free products in exchange for a positive review. We also want to be transparent about our business model. While we depend on affiliate commissions, we would never give a favorable review to a product just because it offers a higher payout. Every item on this list is included for one very reason: it’s genuinely among the very best.
How We Picked the Products
We reviewed lipstick vibrators back in 2016, and we’re happy to update this category because there are many more excellent little lippies today than there were ten years ago. We revisited the eight winners and Angela Kempf sourced 24 more contenders. She looked at products from brands that we know and love (including the Lovense Exomoon, which Maggie Hart saw at the STIMULATE show in Nashville), new and notable releases, and recommendations from the rest of our staff.
We sorted the product into categories and defined the criteria on which they would be judged. We then sent the lipstick vibrators home with our experienced testers. They were instructed to rate each criterion on a 0- to 100-point scale.
- Design: We assessed the design of each lipstick vibrator, including the “case,” the shape of the tip, and the overall look and feel — we expect them to be the kind of classy that wouldn’t be out of place at a high-end department store cosmetics counter. We focused primarily on aesthetics here, but the shape of the tip does impact functionality and the toy should be ergonomically comfortable as well as elegant in appearance.
- Settings: The more, the merrier! We all like different things, and sometimes we like different things for different moods, so we gave higher ratings to products with a wide menu of speeds and patterns that can accommodate mild to wild and everything in between.
- Stimulation: Having a varied menu doesn’t count for much if nothing on it tastes good! Here’s where we evaluated the vibrations produced by each little lipstick, including strength, distribution, patterns, and the texture of the tip.
- Build Quality: We looked at what each product was made of as well as how well it was made. Being body-safe was the basic price of admission here; beyond that, we evaluated how nice each toy felt. We also inspected the fit and finish of each product, checking for smooth seams (or better yet, seamlessness) and a solid feel.
- Charging: Lipstick vibrators tend to have very small batteries (because they are very small toys), which means that some of them take a long time to charge for a potentially disappointing amount of play time. We understand the capacity constraints, but we gave higher scores to models that charged more quickly and lasted longer.
- Ease of Use: Lipstick vibrators don’t usually have enough room for a lot of buttons or controls, and different models handle this limitation in different ways. We prioritized those that prioritized user friendliness with intuitive instructions and controls. Remote and/or app controls also earned points!
- Dimensions: Lipstick vibrators are supposed to be small enough to fit easily in your purse or even your pocket. The models that made it to our “best of” list come in different sizes and shapes, but we did award higher scores to those that tried to stay true to the mission.
- Discretion: Being small is only one part of being discreet. Some of the highest-rated lipstick vibrators actually look enough like a lipstick that you won’t be embarrassed if security makes you dump your bag or empty your pockets before you enter a venue.
- Sound Level: Volume is another aspect of discretion, especially if you intend to engage in semi-public play, but even if you’re all by yourself in your own home, too much noise can be distracting. We prioritized models that were relatively quiet even on their highest settings.
- Price and Value: Price is what it is: we all have different budgets and spending patterns, and if we’re grown-up enough to be buying sex toys, we’re grown-up enough to be managing our own money. For this criterion, we assessed whether the quality and features matched the price point.
Our testers rated each criterion and submitted detailed written reports. We read each report and researched customer reviews and feedback on adult forums. We calculated a final score using weighted metrics that reflected the importance of the test criteria. Half the total rating came from Design (25%) and Stimulation (25%), and then Discretion (10%), Build Quality (10%), and Sound Level (10%).
1. LELO MIA 3: Our Overall Test Winner
Why I love LELO MIA 3:
LELO MIA 3 is a girl’s girl from her tip to her toes. The unboxing is giftable and luxurious, and it comes with everything you need. MIA 3 can be yours for $109, and though that’s steep for a lipstick vibe, she’s well worth the expense. Let me explain.
The design is cute, discreet, and modern, but it’s not the most lipstick-like on this list. Yet MIA 3 blends in, but for her LELO brand name, which can be hidden in a storage bag. You can also buy the MIA 3 in a bundle with actual LELO lipstick, which is cool because it adds another layer of discretion. Since they do sell cosmetics, it’s harder for people to discover the secret in my purse. Maybe she’s born with it; maybe it’s Maybelline; or maybe it’s a finger-sized vibrator that sends me into orbit. Who can say for sure? And lastly, MIA comes in three colors, which is a wide range of options for a little tube of lipstick.
The stimulation is what won me over on this lipstick vibrator. It is shocking how much power and the wide spectrum of sensations you can choose from. It starts at a whisper and builds to a roar. But even at a roar, this is one of the quietest sex toys I have used. And the cap, when removed, lets me plug this vibe into any USB socket, including the one on my computer. I wish more sex toys were chargeable this way; it’s so convenient.
Lastly, the quality is ridiculous. MIA 3 is waterproof, so I love bringing her on vacation, and she’s rechargeable, which is handy. She comes with a gorgeous bag and doesn’t require a cord. Aesthetically, I haven’t found much that competes with this gorgeous, powerful, intuitive design.
Minor issues I found during testing:
The MIA has a rounded shape that is not ideal for people who seek pinpoint stimulation. The buttons aren’t intuitively placed, either.
If you want to see what the product looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
Features:
- Material: Silicone & ABS Plastic
- Dimensions: 0.87″ X 0.87″ X 4.37″
Pros:
- Cozy all-silicone design.
- Tranquil motor.
- Compact, discreet design.
- Multiple vibration modes
- Impressive build quality.
- Ideal for aquatic fun.
Cons:
- It’s not ideal for pinpoint stimulation.
- Tracing the buttons can be tricky.
2. Iroha Stick: Our Budget Pick
Why I love the Iroha Stick:
The iroha stick came as a surprise to me. The price is extraordinarily low, yes, but it’s more than that. I couldn’t get enough of its aesthetic and quality, which aren’t usually things that impress me on a budget lipstick vibrator. She is beauty, she is grace, she is what I was looking for when I got my first sex toy, but instead, I ended up with a bacteria-collecting jelly item. If I could turn back the wheels of time, this would have made a better first sex toy in every single way, but especially the price. For only $20, I have never found anything that comes remotely close to the quality it provides so effortlessly.
The design is lipstick-like, and if anyone isn’t looking too closely, they may very well mistake it for a cosmetic. It’s the size and shape of lipstick (maybe just a hair larger), with a little cutout for some extra pinpoint stimulation. And it’s discreet, but the biggest selling point for me is the simplicity. It’s addictive. The iroha stick is flawless and doesn’t have unnecessary or complicating features, only what you need for portable pleasure. The dial on the bottom is easy to use, and I love gently augmenting stimulation. The interface is easy enough for a partner to figure out, even if it’s your first time playing together.
Somehow this budget pick is waterproof and comes in three lovely colors. It’s gorgeous, and it’s routinely my pick as a last-minute gift for friends. It’s like spaghetti—everyone likes it. You can’t go wrong because no matter what, at this price, you’re going to get your money’s worth.
The iroha stick uses one triple-A battery, which means no cord to worry about. Yet, I was consistently aware that this was a battery-operated vibe during use. The vibrations are light and buzzy, but in the end, they were enough to help me climax regularly. It works especially well for anyone (like me!) who prefers pinpoint stimulation and can get off without rumbling vibration.
Minor issues I found during testing:
The iroha stick won’t work for people who need that thunderous power or use rhythms and patterns to get off, as this offers neither. The lightness of vibes and lack of rechargeability won’t be ideal for people who crave luxury or want something more durable.
If you want to see what the iroha stick looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
Features:
- Material:Â Silicone and PC plastic
- Size: 3.9 x .87 x .87”
- Color:Â Light pink and white; lilac and black; or coral and gray
- Mechanism:Â Clitoral vibration
- Weight:Â 1.55 oz
Pros:
- Price is affordable, value is high
- Adorable, discreet design
- Easy to use, store, and clean
- Comes with a cap for storage and a battery—ready to use upon arrival
Cons:
- Not rechargeable
- Light, buzzy vibrations
3. Lovense Exomoon: Best App-Controlled
Why I love the Lovense Exomoon:
The Lovense Exomoon might be the most realistic design on this list. It has that perfectly angled lipstick shape, so it’s an excellent choice for those who want something discreet. Even the power button looks like a cosmetic embellishment, so this is a sex toy that you can leave out after use. Further, the charging port is hidden at the bottom inside a flap of material, so at no point will your family guess what you have tucked inside your purse. It’s so discreet that even I get confused sometimes. But that’s not why it’s on this list of my favorite lipstick vibrators. That’s because of the app.
I realize that not everything needs an app, and that you may not be someone who would ever use an app in tandem with a lipstick vibrator. I get that. But here is the thing: there are a ton of people in long-distance relationships and a lot of women who love lipstick vibes more than any other kind of sex toy. When my partner leaves town for work, you better believe we’ll be syncing our sex toys and playing together for the duration. I don’t often want to go to the trouble of using something more complicated than a lipstick vibe, so I use the app with the Lovense Exomoon more than I ever thought I would.
The Lovense app is unbeatable. The customization is boundless in a way that manages not to be intimidating or overwhelming but fun and intoxicating. The Lovense app is excellent for cammers, but it is equally fun for people who get off most easily with a certain rhythm or who like to sync their sensations to adult content. And it goes the distance during my longest-lasting edging sessions, too, a rarity for such a small device.
Lastly, the Lovense Exomoon is versatile. I love playing with it in public, even though I can’t wear it. I notice the noise more with the Exomoon than some others, but it remains discreet in louder environments. And what comes with the noise is the best part: strong vibrations, another rarity in the world of lipstick vibes. This tiny container packs a punch, and it will work well for someone who wants the discretion of a tiny sex toy paired with the motor of a much bigger sex toy.
Minor issues I found during testing:
The $140 price tag might feel a little hard to swallow. But if you can afford it, you’ll have the most customizable item on this list. The noise may turn off those who primarily want the Lovense Exomoon for public play.
If you want to see what the Lovense Exomoon looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
Features:
- Material: Silicone & ABS
- Total Length: 3.46″
- Usable Length: 1.32″
- Width (Tip): 0.7″
Pros:
- It has a small, discreet design, perfect for travel.
- The powerful motor churns out multiple vibration settings.
- Precise stimulation from the angled tip.
- The Lovense smartphone app simplifies control.
- It has the longest battery life on the list – 177 minutes.
Cons:
- Your hand may go numb after extended use.
- It can be loud.
4. We-Vibe Tango X: Strongest Vibrations
Why I love the We-Vibe Tango X:
The We-Vibe Tango X is a classic lipstick vibrator. It’s old faithful; the one I recommend to people if I don’t know much about what they like other than lipstick vibes. It’s the vibrational equivalent of a little black dress: you can’t go wrong with this choice. The We-Vibe Tango X has power and rumble in spades. When other products have left me high and oh-so dry, this one has left me trembling.
Yes, it has all the hallmarks of a typical lip vibe, like a cute design, small stature, and discreet features. But what it has that many others lack is powerful, potent vibrations, time after time. I am years into owning the We-Vibe Tango X, and this thing is like the Energizer Bunny. On a full charge, you can’t stop it. It bodies its competition in the power category and can last up to two hours, which gives me plenty of time to edge. I don’t know how that much power and battery life can fit into such a small package. The rumble took me by surprise, but it’s there!
The We-Vibe Tango X’s design isn’t the most realistic, so I keep mine in a makeup bag away from prying eyes. It’s not the least realistic, either, but as someone who tests sex toys for work, the contents of my purse are subject to more scrutiny than most. The aesthetic charmed me right away. The handle is silicone, but the tip is plastic. Using too much lube can make it slippery indeed, so I reach for this when I don’t need much lubrication.
The We-Vibe Tango X retails for $85, which is four times what you’ll pay compared with the budget pick. But the reason I think it’s well worth it is because of the durability. It works as well today as the day I unboxed it, and the brand’s unshakeable quality is to thank. Their devices aren’t always the flashiest, but they go the distance.
Minor issues I found during testing:
The Tango X is a partially plastic lipstick vibe, and unfortunately the plastic portion presses against your clit. It’s not the softest or most luxurious experience, and if you have a particularly sensitive clit, the discomfort may outweigh its merits.
If you want to see what the We-Vibe Tango X looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
Features:
- Material: Silicone & ABS
- Length: 3.5″
- Circumference: 1″
Pros:
- It has the most pleasure settings.
- The discreet design is travel-friendly.
- It’s USB-rechargeable and 100% waterproof.
- Easy-to-use interface.
Cons:
- The ABS plastic head might be uncomfortable for more sensitive users.
5. Crave Vesper 2: Best Design & Most Giftable
Why I love the Crave Vesper 2:
Crave Vesper 2 is hard not to love. For one, you can wear it, so it’s the most portable on this list. It’s a necklace vibe, as discreet as it is sexy. Only you and your partner (if you let them in on the secret) will know the full potential of this piece of jewelry. It feels like a power move when I wear it out on a date. If I’m not up for public play, at least my partner knows what’s on the menu later, and that’s sexy.
The first notable feature of this sexy necklace is that the budget is adjustable. The 24k gold version is a hefty $165, but you can grab a sleek black or rose gold dupe for $105, a much more palatable price. Another feature I love is the long chain, perfect for pairing with a plunging neckline. The length also helps me keep my habits discreet, since I can tuck it into a T-shirt if I don’t want anyone to recognize the somewhat-iconic accessory.
Even though the Crave Vesper 2 is a necklace, I’m always surprised by the features it boasts. It’s waterproof, rechargeable, and made from stainless steel. The design is absolute perfection for people like me who prize pinpoint stimulation. The Crave Vesper 2 scores highest for pinpoint stimulation on this list, too, because it doesn’t get any pointier than this slender and precise slice of heaven.
I, too, balked at the price point of this necklace. But that was until I experienced its potency. You’d be surprised how much wallop this slim whisper of a thing packs. It has plenty to get me there and back. There are three intensity levels, all of which are astonishingly satisfying. And even though this looks more like jewelry than lipstick, you can throw it into your cosmetic bag without anyone batting an eye, which for me is the ultimate lipstick vibrator litmus test.
This is the most giftable lipstick vibrator, easily. There isn’t a close second. If someone gave this to me as a gift, I would lose my mind. The Crave Vesper 2 is gorgeous and sexy, plus it’s jewelry, which is historically the gold standard for a romantic gift. It’s the ultimate gift for a partner, and they’re just about guaranteed to be wowed. You’ll want to have your camera handy to record the opening because if it’s anything like mine, there’s going to be a memorable reaction.
Minor issues I found during testing:
The battery doesn’t last long on the Crave Vesper 2; you’ll have to finish in forty minutes or less, which can feel like unnecessary pressure for people who take a minute to climax (it’s me; I’m people). It’s also a little bit on the louder side. There are only four settings, so if you like to play around with customization, you can find a better option at this price point.
If you want to see what Vesper 2 looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
Features:
- Material: 316-grade Stainless Steel
- Length: 3.6″ & 26″ (necklace)
- Diameter (Tip): 0.3”
Pros:
- Up to 4 vibration settings.
- The rounded tip offers precise stimulation.
- Foolproof single-button interface.
- Customized message option
- It comes in three colors: gold, rose gold, and silver.
Cons:
- The battery life-to-charging time ratio is terrible (40:90 minutes).
- There’s only one necklace size.
6. Oh My Gem Ardor: Best Heating Function
Why I love the Oh My Gem Ardor:
The cool thing about sex toys is that they can and often do push the limits of reality. For instance, the Oh My Gem Ardor has a warming function, and those two sensations work exceptionally well together, even though I’d never experienced hot lipstick before. Just something to think about, inventors.
This is one of those vibrators that impresses me with how much can be packed into a tiny package. Yes, it’s a lipstick vibrator, but it also has a heating element tucked in there somewhere alongside a relatively powerful motor. The Oh My Gem Ardor heats up to 107 degrees, a pleasantly warm but not worrisome temperature. It’s just enough to keep me on my toes.
The Ardor’s design is cute but only relatively lipstick-like. It’s loosely based on the shape of a tube of lipstick, but the realism isn’t there. In place of verisimilitude, the Ardor has a jeweled end and a rounded tip for precise stimulation. It’s cute, it’s practical, plus it involves more of my senses than usual, which is always a plus for me. It helps me stay focused on the task at hand.
Another reason to consider Ardor as your next sex toy purchase: it’s powerful. It’s not the most powerful on this list, but it’s potent enough that it surprised me after I took it out of the package. When I first tried it, I felt overwhelmed by the stimulation, but now that I’m used to it, I’m just obsessed. If you’re looking for a rumble, this is your stop.
Many standard lipstick vibes skimp on the settings. They may offer a couple of intensity levels or a pattern or two, but nothing of substance. That’s where Ardor shines. It has ten different modes. The magnet charger is blissfully simple to operate, and the storage bag is cute and femme. The heat is just the icing on the cake.
Minor issues I found during testing:
Oh My Gem Ardor’s battery life tops out at 45 minutes, meaning edging is out of the question. Further, the warming function turns on automatically, so this isn’t the right purchase if you only want to use the temperature-play features occasionally.
If you want to see what the Oh My Gem Ardor looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
Features:
- Material: Pure Platinum Cured Puria™ Silicone
- Dimensions: Total Length: 5.5”, Insertable Length: 4”, Width: 1”
- Color: Aquamarine
- Weight: 0.75 lb
- Power type: USB magnet charger (included)
Pros:
- Works internally and externally
- Powerful, rumbly vibes
- Warming function
- Better charging/run time than most warming toys
Cons:
- Vibes can be a little too powerful
- No instruction sheet
- Turns off automatically
- Only 45 minutes of play time isn’t a lot, even with a short charge time
7. The Whisperer: Quietest Lipstick Vibe
Why I love The Whisperer:
The Whisperer truly lives up to its name, meaning that this is the ultimate purchase for someone who wants a discreet lipstick vibe, has nosy housemates, or hates sex toy noise. It also lives up to its brand name, Smile Makers Collection, as this vibrator never ceases to bring a smile to my lips. The gentle vibrations and natural design are exquisite, and the experience feels seamless from start to finish.
The Whisperer’s design is cute, striking a more neutral tone than many on this list, and it matches the packaging perfectly. I’d give it as a gift in a heartbeat, especially because there are five different intensity levels to explore, all of them quiet. Plus, I can’t get enough of the shape. Sometimes I want surgical precision, and I can dig the tip into the exact spot I’m targeting. Other times, I prefer my clit to feel surrounded by sensation, and the tip has an indentation to help me do just that.
Even though I’m a sex toy tester, I occasionally don’t want anyone to know what I’m up to. And during those times, this is the vibrator I reach for. It’s virtually silent, and my business remains private. Plus, it’s made by moms for moms, and I love that so much. Reclaiming sexual pleasure after giving birth is empowering AF, and I love a sex toy brand that realizes how much new moms deserve pleasure. Further, what’s more of a turn-off than having to listen to something that sounds like a lawnmower while you masturbate? I can’t think of much.
The Whisperer is a winning choice for me even when silence isn’t my number one priority. I love its simplicity, and it’s under $50, making it one of the more affordable options on this list. It comes with a two-year warranty, which is a relatively long pleasure guarantee for a lipstick vibe. In addition to being the quietest, I think it’s a great choice for anyone who wants a blend of discretion, power, and affordability. It strikes me as the perfect choice for anyone buying their second lipstick vibrator.
Minor issues I found during testing:
The color options and customization are limited.
If you want to see what The Whisperer looks like and how to use it, please watch our unboxing and demonstration video below:
Features:
- Material: FDA-approved, body-safe silicone
- Dimensions: Length: 3.9”, Width: 8”
- Color: Green
- Power type: USB charger
Pros:
- Small, yet high-quality
- Intuitive design
- Designed by moms, for moms
Cons:
- Only 5 vibration modes
- Only comes in green
Other Good Alternatives
Satisfyer Deep Kiss is a great option if you want sucking instead of vibrations. It’s a small, portable clit sucker in the shape of a lipstick. Not only can you adjust the speed of the air pulses, but it allows you to control how close the pulsating membrane is to your clitoris, thus controlling the intensity of the pulsations. With 10 speeds and 3 intensities to choose from, you’ll be able to find your perfect kiss.
Boutique Voila is another good budget option. If you have ~$30 and want a powerful lipstick vibe, get your wallet out. It’s loud, it’s proud, and it’s well worth the price tag. For a beginner vibe, you won’t find more bang for your buck.
And Two To Avoid
Hide & Play absolutely succeeds at its primary function: its lipstick guise keeps it very discreet, as does its sound level. It’s also intense enough that if you want to do some public play, it’ll get you there quickly. However, the fact that it uses a battery instead of being rechargeable, and the fact that the button is a bit difficult to press, were two downsides as far as I was concerned.
VeDO Boom has a lot going for it. It has different strength levels as well as different patterns. The warming function kicks in fast and feels great. The shape lends itself to some great precision, especially that little bump on the shaft. It’s extremely versatile. The small size and travel lock make it nice and portable. But I just can’t look past its flaws, namely the inability to warm it up before using it internally, the awkward placement of the controls, and the 45-minute play time on a 2-hour charge (booh!). This product is great in theory, but in practice, I was not blown away. Or…boomed away.
But Why Should I Buy One?
If you like bullet vibrators (and really, who doesn’t?), you’ll probably also like a lipstick vibrator. It offers the same advantages of portability, discretion, and targeted stimulation with the added bonus of improved aesthetics; plus, some of them really do look like lipsticks so they can hide in plain sight if they have to.
What bullet and lipstick vibrators lack in deep power and battery capacity, they make up for with precisely targeted stimulation. They usually have tapered tips so they can direct the vibrations exactly where you want them. They are also small enough and light enough that you can hold the whole thing in your hand when you’re playing with your partner.
How To Use a Lipstick Vibrator?
The first rule of sex toy club… there are no rules (outside of safety and consent, of course). You should use your lipstick vibrator any way that pleases you, and your partner if you are playing with a partner.
We do recommend starting off with a generous application of good-quality water-based lube, especially because the targeted stimulation can sometimes be a little too much of a good thing. And again, a lipstick vibrator functions much like a bullet vibrator, so anything that you’d do with your bullet vibe, you can do with your lipstick toy.
These vibrators excel at clitoral stimulation, so definitely start there! They can also feel good on nipples of any gender and on the frenulum and penis shaft. They should not be used internally, and especially not anally (only toys with wide and/or flared bases are safe for anal use).
Happy vibing!
