We could talk for hours about the virtues of vibrators.

They’re sleek. They’re stimulating. And they make hard-to-reach erogenous zones like the G-spot or prostate easy to access — with or without a partner.

As if partner-free pleasure weren’t enough of a selling point, the geniuses at the sex toy design desk created vibrating panties, removing hands from the masturbation equation once and for all.

What are vibrating panties?

The short answer is that they’re exactly what they sound like: vibrating underwear for women (or whoever else enjoys the feel of a pelvic pulse).

The slightly longer answer is that vibrating panties are wireless vibrators (also known as panty vibes) held in place by your underwear for hands-free clitoral stimulation. Some panty vibes are designed to be worn with your existing panty collection, while others come as a set — vibrator, sexy panties, and all.

Are vibrating panties as amazing as they sound?

Yes. Yep. Absolutely. Here’s why.

1. They spice up your sex life

Once we dive into the features of our favorite stimulating undies, you’ll understand that they’re more than just rumbly Fruit of the Looms. Whether using them for foreplay, self-pleasure, or the feeling of a long-distance lover’s hands in your pants, your pre-panty vibe sex life will seem like the Dark Ages after you try your first wearable toy.

2. Some are remote-controlled

Intimacy can be tricky when you’re in a long-distance relationship. But with the right vibe, the only thing your partner will be using a remote to turn on is you. Some vibrators can activate from apps, even if the user’s miles away — adding spice that masturbation and imagination just can’t match.

Remote-controlled vibrating panties are even fun when you’re only a few inches from your partner, offering the opportunity to surrender control and let someone else dictate your pleasure. It's an exhilarating form of foreplay that enhances trust and intimacy while adding a new power dynamic to your sexual relationship. 

3. You can use them in public

It’s true that you can use vibrating panties in public — if you have an unshakeable poker face, that is. We don’t condone subjecting unconsenting strangers to orgasms or other sexual displays, but if you’re capable of controlling yourself, you can indulge in a little public play without anyone knowing what’s going on between your legs.

The boxer-brief design is great for nonbinary, trans, and other vulva-havers who don’t like girly panties, and two built-in massager pockets offer extra clitoral stimulation during penetration with a strap-on dildo. Buy it at Lovehoney for $39.99.
