When I first started writing about sex toys, the phrase “toe-curling orgasms” came up a lot.

It felt like a gimmick to sell subpar vibratorsthen I tried theLelo Sona Cruise 2.

The bright pink rig was my first introduction tosuction vibrators.

It also better stimulates other body parts, like the nipples.

Mind the gap.I’ve fallenvictim to the pleasure gapone too many times.

Masturbation is a great way to know your body’s own needs and desires.

Orgasms are good for you.These pleasure-filled moments arelinked to better sleep, glowing skin, and improved circulation.

It’s deep and powerful.

The unit knows you’re close based on any added pressure.

Exceptional battery life.The Sona is my favorite toy but I rarely charge it thanks to the 2-hour battery life.

A setting for every sensation.

Choose from 12 modes and adjust the intensity to find your preferred setup.

They can even hold the ergonomic handle to get more involved.

It doesn’t take away my focus but I’m definitely worried about roommates when I use it.

A serious learning curve.

I love this toy now, but it was a slow start.

The powerful sensation wastoomuch at first, and it took me awhile to enjoy the feeling.

Your poor wallet.You’ll pay at least $100 for this toy, even when it’s on sale.

I think it’s worth the splurge, but I fully acknowledge that it’s not cheap.

It’s my go-to sex toy when I want to orgasm, and I can’t recommend it enough.
