For those who enjoy clitoral stimulation, there are exciting developments in the sex toy market [2], allowing you to achieve a next-level orgasm. As someone that normally orgasms via the crura, or "legs," of my clit rather than the visible part, I find that bullets and many suction toys can be painfully stimulating [3], however, and don't provide the right sensation. But the Tracey Cox Supersex Powerful Rechargeable Clitoral Vibrator [4] ($70) was a game-changer.
Made from innovative liquid silicone, this pebble vibrator has a wide, well-cushioned surface that provided a deeper kind of pleasure that reverberated through my body. A pebble vibrator, or a palm vibrator, is an external clitoral stimulator that is designed to nestle against the body and mold to your natural shape.
Although designed primarily for the vulva, a clit vibrator like this can also stimulate erogenous zones [5] like the nipples or perineum during foreplay, masturbation, and sex. They fit well in the palm of your hand and can be rolled, grinded against, pressed on the body, or held between your thighs for a toe-curling experience, allowing you to mix up pressure at your discretion.
Here's everything you should know about one of the best pebble vibrators for sensitive bodies and broad stimulation lovers who want something besides a wand.
Criteria For a Good Pebble Vibrator
- Material: While many of the best vibrator materials are body-safe silicone (glass and metal can be a little rigid on this body part), an increasingly popular new material in the sexual wellness world is liquid silicone. It's incredibly soft with a squishy, marshmallow-like feel, making it even more comfortable when you press it on your body.
- Price: Unlike a penetrative G-spot [6] vibrator with dual motors, these sex toys are often on the more affordable end of the spectrum, like a bullet vibrator. Price will be informed by the material used (ABS plastic is cheaper but often uncomfortable against the body), the size, and the quality of the motor.
- Ease of use: If you find larger massagers [7], like wands, tough to maneuver during sex or causing hand and wrist pain, the compact size of a pebble vibe can be more appealing. Finding the right size for your needs is key: too small can make it hard to control buttons and switch settings, while a large one can be bulky. An oval shape is often desirable over a more circular one as it will be easier to hold with accessible controls.
- Charging method: USB-rechargeable options are convenient and reliable, and even if they're initially a higher price, they will cost less in the long run as you won't have to replace batteries. They're also friendlier to the environment as batteries won't end up in landfills.

What I Like About Tracey Cox Supersex Clitoral Vibrator
For me, this rechargeable clit stimulator was the Goldilocks of squishy, soft vibrators. Some toys in this category have too much padding, so you can't feel the motor underneath. In contrast, others only have a thin layer of liquid silicone, defeating the purpose of using the material at all. The vibrations on this vibrator were still quite strong, even on the first setting, and were felt through a moderately thick layer of liquid silicone.
Beyond the texture, the surface material itself felt amazing on my skin; it was silky and velvety, requiring less lube than I usually use for clitoral stimulation toys. Upon opening it, I appreciated the sleek lines and elegant chrome accent towards the toy's base, as well as the fact that it came charged and ready to go.
This vibrator was well-cushioned but not overtly so. Not just the head but the sides were squishy, making it more comfortable to press hard against my body. As someone who can be sensitive to hard vibrators, I prefer a small amount of squishiness on the tips of my vibrator, which allows for a cozier experience.
Due to my sensitivity, I also crave vibes with a wider design. This vibrator distributed sensation more broadly, unlike a pin-point clitoral stimulation device such as a bullet, making it more flexible and contoured to my body than other vibrators.
I used it in various positions by myself and with my partner. My favorite way to use it was by riding it, as it nestled into my body nicely. I could grind with it, given the thin but wide shape of the toy, which made it versatile to use as a lay-on vibrator. It felt great to use during penetration, and while the lowest vibration setting was stronger than what I was used to, it didn't desensitize me at all.
Overall, I was impressed by the design and the motor's power for a toy in the under-$70 price range. I also liked that the single-button control was easily clicked and located on the outer side of the toy. My personal pet peeve is when the control buttons are on the inside, interfering with play and forcing you to remove the toy from your body to change settings, which can get you out of the mood and interrupt experimentation.
Its accessibility and ease of use made it great for someone like me, who has been using and testing sex toys for years, but equally approachable for a newbie without too many confusing bells and whistles, which I appreciated. Also, I'm not usually into patterns, but these sent me into some pleasure-packed, rolling orgasms.
What to Consider Before Trying the Tracey Cox Supersex Clitoral Vibrator
An added perk of the strength is that the vibrations travel through the entire body of the toy, making it great for those who simultaneously want perineum or anal stimulation [8] at the same time. The handle is also flatter, allowing users to press it against the vulva, unlike the more rounded tip.
Need a quiet sex toy? This one wasn't silent, but the noise was significantly muffled by blankets, and its strength was well worth it.
And for those who prefer very soft vibrations, know that this Supersex palm vibe does start out pretty powerful. Pro tip: the vibrations become a little more muted underwater with this 100-percent submersible toy.
