Near-silent vibrators provide all the fun without the noise, so here are the best for some discreet self-love

We’re certainly not ones to shy away from shouting about the best vibrators on the market but, while it’s good to be loud about things (in more ways than one), we don’t always want everyone to know the ins and outs of our private lives. That’s where quiet vibrators and near-silent vibrators come in.

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with noise, of course, whether it’s coming from you, your vibrator or your partner. Sex – in all its glory – is natural and you should never be ashamed of having it, it’s just that sometimes life calls for discretion. Some people have paper-thin walls with roommates or kids that hear everything, and some just prefer to do their thing in silence. Whatever your circumstances, muted sex toys exist for a reason and your self pleasure needn’t be sacrificed. Whatever works for you, you should do more of.

Thankfully, we’ve done the legwork and have put together a list of the best, whisper-quiet vibrators out there. And don’t worry – they still pack a punch. Cheers to orgasming as much as you like in total peace and quiet.

What is the quietest personal massager?

Sometimes reading the descriptions and reviews of sex toys online feels a bit too serious and can kill the mood, but it’s often where you’ll find out which one is right for you. Look for the specifications to see whether it mentions volume; the quiet vibrators will usually have something like ‘near-silent’ as a key pointer.

If you don’t mind forking out the pound coins, LELO’s YVA – available in stainless steel and 24-karat gold – is the only toy we could find that claims it’s absolutely silent. Elsewhere, Smile Makers’ The French Lover, So Divine’s bullet vibrator and We-Vibe’s Touch X all have singing reviews about their discrete-yet-powerful vibrations.

Psst! We’ve also got clit vibrators, G-spot vibrators, remote control vibrators, wand vibrators, bullet vibrators and rabbit vibrators in case anything here doesn’t peak your interest.
