Whether in the form of anal fingering, willy wanking, honey-pot pawing, or nipple tweaking, fingers play a huge supporting (or starring!) role in sex. Since fingers are typically more dexterous than other body parts (like a penis, for example) and cannot transmit the vast majority of STIs, finger and hand sex are high-pleasure, low-risk ways of getting off. And for those aficionados of finger freaking, your play can be upgraded with the addition of a finger vibrator. Never heard of or shopped for a finger vibrator before? Read on. We asked sex educators to explain what finger vibrators are good for, what separates the great finger vibe from the mediocre, and share their top picks on the market right now.

What is a finger vibrator?
Given that G-spot vibrators stimulate your internal hot spot and anal vibrators buzz your backdoor, you’d be forgiven for assuming a finger vibrator stimulates your finger. But in this case, the finger designation refers to how the vibrator is supposed to be held or positioned, explains sexologist Jessica O’Reilly, PhD, host of the Sex With Dr. Jess Podcast and expert with Lovehoney. “Finger vibrators are vibrators that are designed to be worn on your fingers,” she explains.
The shape, size, and placement of these digit diddlers varies greatly product to product, notes Searah Deysach, sex educator and owner of Early to Bed, an education-focused sex shop in Chicago. Some slide over your finger like a ring, some sheath the entire length of your digit like a finger cot, and some nestle between your fingers. But no matter their shape, “these vibrators allow you to use your hand to masturbate or pleasure your partner as you normally would, whilst getting the added sensation of vibration,” she says. And these small products are typically very easy to integrate in the bedroom.
What are the benefits of finger vibrators?
Like any other type of vibrator, finger vibrators offer the ability to sensate at a speed, intensity, duration, and duration that the human body is not anatomically able. However, finger vibrators come with their own unique perks you won’t see in other vibrating sex toys:
- They’re easy for beginners to use
- They can upgrade hand sex
- They can also be used during oral intercourse
- They’re fairly accessible sex toys
- They can be used during an STI flare-up
- Finger vibes are non-anatomically shaped
