The body-safe silicone exterior ensures a luxurious feel against the skin, while the USB rechargeable battery means you’ll never be caught short of power when the mood strikes.

The angled tip is good for targeted clitoral action, while the toy’s eight speeds and seven vibration patterns only add to the fun.

Unlike some toys that use air to massage your clit, the donut-shaped Ora 3 has a nub-like “tongue” that rotates around your hot spot. The device’s silicone body is easy to hold thanks to an ergonomic cut-out for your fingers , while 12 vibration settings offer plenty of variety. Compared to earlier generations, the Ora 3 has a firmer node for a more realistic sensation and LED lights that blink to tell you how charged it is.
