Dear Yvonne,

I want to buy my girlfriend a vibrator, and I was wondering if you have any recommendations. Thanks!

-- John

Dear John, To make this purchase something special, I would go for a vibe that's a bit more high-end. This isn't only because these vibes tend to look and feel cooler, but designers have also well- considered the product's life cycle, safety, reliability, and energy efficiency. Companies have also thought about responsible manufacturing and waste reduction when tending to environmental accountability. All of these qualities make for a sexier purchase, especially in winning over an eco-friendly mate.

That said, the occasional vibe gets sent my way, with JimmyJane's Form 2 catching my attention most recently. It looks and feels sexy, plus it's waterproof, sparking ideas for where and when it can be used. The fact that it's rechargeable, phthalate-free (as in made of body-safe materials), quiet, and travel-ready only add to its intrigue. It's sleek and sophisticated, with its dual motors easily controlled for "sensation in stereo." It's sure to be a hit!
