Secret vibrators that work discreetly under a clever second function

Secret vibrators can open up new worlds to those who'd otherwise be hesitant to explore the world of sex toys. Many are shaped like everyday items - including underwear, jewelry, accessories, or medical devices - and offer quieter settings compared to traditional toys. 

There's nothing wrong with masturbation and women exploring self-pleasure. In fact, it should be encouraged more in wider society. However, some people can feel a little uncomfortable with the idea of others finding out about their sex toys. And that's perfectly okay too, given that it's only been in the last couple of decades that women's sexuality has started to be celebrated, and even then we've still got a long way to go. 

From the best vibrator with a low-key appearance and the best vibrators on Amazon with discreet packaging to the complete rundown of toys with a disguised appearance, discreet noise controls, undetectable shipping, a travel lock, and more, we've got you covered. Plus, all of these vibrators come with rave reviews from either verified buyers or the woman&home health team, so you can still be sure they're still worthwhile vibes. 

Best secret vibrators that masquerade under a second function

The Lovehoney Extra Powerful Multispeed Mains Powered Magic Wand Vibrator is considered a classic these days. However, its shape originally came from massage tools designed for athletes to treat aching limbs. While many of the professional recovery tools don't look like this anymore, some of the more basic models still do. Fans of this classic vibe will be able to suss you out pretty easily but you might just be able to get away with it in some cases. 

As one of the best wand vibrators around, this Lovehoney vibe offers multiple speeds and vibration patterns through the flexible head. It's also mains powered, plugging into any US / UK wall socket (depending on where you buy), meaning you don't have to worry about it accidentally going off and giving the game away in your suitcase or bedside cabinet. 

Along with the Crave Vesper necklace, this is probably one of the more discreet vibrators on the list as it looks just like a classic red lipstick at a quick glimpse. Sure, if you look a little closer you'll see (or feel) that quick vibrations ripple out from the plastic red tip, but you'd need to get very close to find that out. Its compact size means you can take it anywhere, popping it into your bag like you would any other everyday item. 

There's only one speed available on this lipstick vibrator, making it ideal for anyone who likes to keep things simple when it comes to quick pleasure or isn't quite sure how to use a vibrator. If you're looking for something powerful, this may not be the device for you as reviewers comment that it lacks the power that many other bullet vibes have. However, this one has to contend with its limiting lipstick design and it's only $16.99 / £14.99. 

The only real downside of this fun vibe is the lack of a travel lock. If you're carrying it around with lots of other items in your bag, there's every chance it could go off accidentally. Lovehoney's logo on the top of the device also isn't very hidden at all, so fans of the brand are sure to spot it. 

We had to include Crave's Vesper necklace in the roundup of the most secret vibrators, as it's one of the best sex toys generally. This vibe is a mix between a wand and a bullet in both size and function, however, it also looks like a chic pendant so it won't be out of place on your bedside table or dresser. Thanks to the accompanying gold, rose gold, or silver chain, minimal design, and almost silent vibrations, it's perhaps the most discreet vibrator on our list. 

Some of its plus points include the four control settings (low, medium, high, and high pulsing) so you can find the pattern that works best for you, the fully USB rechargeable battery, and the body-safe materials used to make the device. While the Little Rooster Alarm Clock vibrator has been criticized for lacking power when in use, we can guarantee (after trying this vibe for ourselves) that this one doesn't have the same problem. Each of the settings packs a powerful set of vibrations and as it's made of real metal the vibrator warms up when in use. 

It might be one of the more expensive options on the list but if you're looking for guaranteed secrecy that will stand up to even the most scrutinizing eye, inside or outside of the house, then this could certainly be the one for you. 

Many of these discreet toys often look like something else without actually having that alternative function - but that's not the case with the Freya Vee dual function toy as there's a vibrator concealed in the handle of the razor. Naturally, it's a water-resistant toy, lightweight compared to other similar clitoral vibrators, and it has an easy grip handle. Perfect for shower sex with yourself - or with a partner. 

While this might sound like a trip to A&E waiting to happen, the shaving head is totally removable so once you're done trimming you can get down to using the other function without a worry. 

It also comes with a dual holder that easily attaches to your shower wall, meaning storing this vibrator is easy and anyone taking a look around your bathroom will just think it's a colourful razor. Nothing to see here. 

The only downside is that Freya hasn't yet stretched to the UK market, which means you'll have to order from the US. The toy itself is a reasonable $49.99 (£40), however, shipping also sits at about $40 to the UK, bringing up the price to almost $100 (£80). For those who are looking for a discreet vibe to use in the bathroom with the budget to stretch, it'll be worth it. 

Looking for a more exciting way to wake up in the morning? The Little Rooster S Alarm Clock Vibrator is exactly what the name suggests: a vibrating alarm clock worn inside your underwear (outside your body) for a fully secret experience. It wakes you up with gentle vibrations that gradually increase to your chosen level over five minutes. There are 30 power levels and the first 27 are reportedly almost silent. 

All the vibrators on our list are popular but this one has won rave reviews from most users, some of whom have taken advantage of its portability to liberate themselves from the confines of the bedroom – like the woman who set hers to go off 20 minutes into a blind date. Others have commented that it's a great idea but the vibration levels are not as strong as they'd like and the price tag is on the higher side, matching some of the best bullet vibrators in some cases.

This vibrator is also free from harmful chemicals and comes complete with a travel lock so you can take it away with you, a one-year warranty, and, yes, a snooze mode.

This colorful vibrator might turn some guests' heads if they're having a nose around your bedroom but they're unlikely to put two and two together. This discreet pebble-shaped vibrator sits on a plastic dish of the same color when charging / not in use and it's a dish you can also use to store your jewelry or any trinkets you have lying around. There are three colors to choose from - yellow, pink, or blue - so you can pick the one that matches your decor the best. 

The Evii by Bird is one of the brand's bestsellers - and for good reason. As well as being discreet, this stimulator has 8 vibration levels to choose from and a dual motor, meaning the vibrations focus on the clitoris and the lower part of the vulva at the same time. It's not insertable, but it can offer the same clitoral stimulation as the head on many of the best rabbit vibrators, as we discovered when testing this toy for ourselves earlier in the year. It's also made from super smooth silicone that feels amazing against your skin, is completely waterproof, and has a handy travel lock. 

There is only one downside of this toy we could think of: when charging, you'll need to make sure your Evii dish is sitting next to a mains power socket since it's rechargeable via a USB connection. However, chances are, if you're storing the Evii out on your bedside table or dresser, you'll already have one pretty close by. 

Vibrating panties are certainly a discreet way to bring your vibrator out into the open, even if the actual device isn't too secret. This pair from Lovehoney is suitable for US sizes 4 to 12 and comes with a small bullet-sized insertable vibrator that is controlled by a remote. The panties look just the same as any other in your underwear drawer (apart from the tie-ups on either side) so anyone who spots it in your laundry pile is unlikely to know its true purpose. 

There are ten different functions to choose from with this pick of secret vibrators and various patterns to work through, so you are sure to find something that works for you. You could also pass the remote onto your partner as well for a little spontaneous fun when you're out and about. It's all hands-free so just make sure they're standing close to you, otherwise the remote could move out of range. 

While there are many different types of vibrating panties out there to choose from, with Lovehoney's selection being just some of the most popular, these were top rated by customers for price, appearance, and function. Some commented that the vibrations weren't particularly powerful on the lower settings, so it's perhaps not one for those who need intense stimulation from the start, but the panties fit well. 

It's true that some of the best pelvic floor trainers also conveniently double up as G-spot vibrators but this one works the other way around. It's a multi-speed, egg-shaped vibrator that also works pelvic floor trainer so you can do your kegel exercises while also building up to orgasm. As it's tucked up inside you and doesn't have an accompanying remote control, it's also great for taking out with you secretly. 

To use this pick of the secret vibrators collection, pop it inside and follow the 'squeeze and relax' instructions included in the box to work your way through the five varying vibration levels. Reviewers suggest it delivers unparalleled G-spot orgasms thanks to this combo of kegels and vibrations, so it's perfect for those that want a little stimulation in this area without excessive penetration. 

Be sure to start with plenty of the best lube - water-based will be better for this vibe as it's made of super smooth silicone - and don't leave it in for too long, otherwise, it could become uncomfortable.

How to choose the best discreet vibrator for you

• Consider the volume: There's nothing that's going to give the game away quite like a loud buzzing sound, so search the reviews for how loud customers are saying the toy is, says Suzannah Weiss, board-certified sexologist and sex educator. "A lot of vibrators advertise themselves as quiet but if you look at the reviews, they are not super quiet," she warns.
• Look for vibrators in fun shapes: Lipsticks, necklaces, lights, and jewelry trays are all used as disguises for some of the most common types of vibrators, says Weiss, who is also the resident of pleasure product brand Biird. "This way, if someone happens to find them, they won't know what it is." 
• Do you need a travel lock? "If you plan on traveling with a vibrator, it's useful to find one with a travel lock to make sure it won't turn on in your bag," she says. "That does sometimes happen when you're carrying bags and they get pushed around. You'll have to fish out the vibrator to turn it off."
• Check the packaging policy: Does the toy you're buying offers a discreet packaging option? We've found that many of the best secret vibrators come from retailers such as Amazon and Lovehoney because they are retailers that specialize in discreet delivery. You'd never know what's in the brown cardboard box! Plus, Lovehoney even disguises their name on bank statements. 

Is having a secret vibrator important?

Some people can feel a little uncomfortable with the idea of others finding out about their toys, even though there's nothing wrong with owning one. "Discreet toys can minimize worries about others seeing or hearing your sex toy and knowing what it is," says Weiss. "I wish we lived in a world where most people could find your vibrator and think nothing of it, but that's not the case right now."

She continues, "Some people may also worry about receiving the toy in the mail because perhaps they live with family members or someone who might judge them. Others who would otherwise be too shy to buy a sex toy are able to do so with discreet options. They can just let you relax and enjoy the toy and the pleasure it brings you, rather than worry about, say, your family members hearing it or airport security finding out."
