Discretion isn’t always a concern when it comes to buying and using a vibrator. But if you live in a house full of other people (particularly with kids who are curious and prone to touching things that aren’t theirs), it very well might be a priority to have a quiet and sneaky sex toy in your collection. Thankfully, your favorite sex toy shops are loaded with discreet vibrators that offer subtlety, silence, and satisfying sex in equal measure.

Best Types of Sex Toys That Are Discreet
Finding time to use a vibrator is often harder than it should be. Between work, social engagements, family responsibilities and the always-growing list of shows you need to watch on Netflix, carving out a little Me Time (or even Us time with your partner) can be a serious challenge. The last thing you need is for your few, well-earned minutes of escape to be ruined by a vibrator that’s so loud it threatens to wake up the whole house or that makes you too self-conscious about the chainsaw-like sounds to actually get off.
And, of course, when we’re talking about discretion, we’re not only talking about volume—we’re also talking about toys that have a more streamlined or understated appearance. Toys that don’t attract a lot of visual attention. Toys that, well, don’t obviously look like sex toys. A quiet motor is key to keeping someone from barging in on your alone time. But you also want a go-to that you can throw in your nightstand — or toss into your suitcase — without giving it a second thought. It doesn’t matter who stumbles upon your favorite vibrator if that vibrator looks like a necklace, or tube of lip balm, or a small piece of abstract art.
“Honestly, the quietest toys are going to be marketed as quiet,” says Gigi Engle, a certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and resident intimacy expert at dating app, 3Fun. “With that being said, you’re going to want to look for something smaller that has a smaller motor.” Engle explains that the smaller the motor, the quieter the toy. “You’re going to have better luck with palm, finger, and bullet vibrators. But the most quiet toys of all are clit sucking vibrators. They don’t actually use vibration the way a standard toy does. They use air and suction to surround the clitoris. These toys are basically silent, which can be a great choice,” Engle adds.
There are so many of these stealth sex toys on the market that allow you to keep your sexy business on the DL. You can absolutely find a sex toy that isn’t obviously recognizable to the untrained eye, and that doesn’t sound like a threatening swarm of bees every time you turn it on. Sex toys so smart they practically disguise themselves? We’ll take 20.
So read on for a few that pass the low-key “shhh” test or deliver on a particularly subtle aesthetic. You might find the chill, discreet vibe of your dreams.

Good Vibes Neon Vibes The Secret Vibe
The Good Vibes Neon Vibes The Secret Vibe is the best overall discreet vibrator for numerous reasons. It’s made with a multi-use design that you can use as a finger or panty vibe. The pleasurable toy also features a contoured shape and an ultra-plush silicone hat that feels soft against the skin to help you explore sweet spots. Better yet, the vibrator includes 10 vibration functions to turn the heat up.
Girls Get Off Missy
Shoppers are obsessed with this clioral vibe from Girls Get Off, a cult-favorite, female-founded brand from New Zealand. The Missy is the epitome of small but mighty. “I came so hard I went deaf momentarily,” one reviewer wrote after taking the Missy for a spin, and yeah, OK, we’re intrigued. While shoppers say this vibe can get a little louder at the higher settings, the good part is it’s so effective, you won’t need to keep it there for long.

We-Vibe Moxie Panty Vibrator
We-Vibe Moxie Panty Vibrator is exactly what it sounds like: a sex toy you can (discreetly!) slip into your underwear and wear all day long. Of course, if you’re not looking for a little all-day fun, you can also use this toy like a regular vibrator. The subtle hum will delight (without disturbing others), and the shape will offer a few different kinds of stimulation.
Maude Vibe
Another discreet favorite courtsy of Maude, the Vibe looks like a small, sleek knickknack that could sit on your nightstand without raising any eyebrows. Hit that little button, though, and the Vibe provides three powerful speeds for you to enjoy, plus a solid 1.5-hour runtime that’s sure to get you where you need to go.
Crave Vesper
You can’t get more discreet than the Crave Vesper, which looks like a chic silver necklace until you tap the magic button on the side. Enjoy four powerful but super-quiet modes with this sleek and sneaky little vibe.
Iroha Plus Tori
Babeland’s Iroha Plus line offers three different vibrators, all of which are discreet in appearance and in sound. (The Tori is pictured here.) Each toy boasts a supple, squishy silicone form, and provides deeper, rumbly vibrations. Subtle and versatile, the Iroha Plus line is a great place to start when seeking a discreet toy.
Lovehoney Magic Bullet
No, you’re not looking at a tube of lipstick, but the Lovehoney Magic Bullet is so discreet, we don’t blame you for thinking so. This waterproof, pocket-sized bullet vibe is packed with 10 modes of pleasure and is tiny enough to tuck in your purse.
Je Joue Mimi Clitoral Vibrator
The Je Joue Mimi doesn’t look at all like a sex toy, but its supple silicone and targeted tip make it one of the most popular vibrators around. If someone saw it on your nightstand, they’d have no clue what they were looking at. Plus, the quiet motor will keep the toy’s 11 modes from attracting too much attention.
LELO Sila
Despite being a sonic toy, LELO’s Sila is a powerful and powerfully quiet suction-style toy perfect for clitoral stimulation. She’s discreet and easy to clean and store in your bedside table or sock drawer, which is a total plus for anyone with curious or nosy little family members running about.
Maude Curved Internal Personal Massager
Just as strong as your loud-motored plug-in wand, Maude’s internal vibe is a sleek and stylish and soft little bedside companion that won’t be heard buzzing through the door. Its platinum-grade silicone bod holds 2.5 hours of charge and is USB-chargeable.
Unbound Squish
Engle says that the Unbound Squish is the cutest little, lemon-shaped vibe on this planet Earth. “The more you squeeze it, the harder the vibrations. You just squeeze it like you’re looking for fresh juice and it turns into a mini-rocket. This feature makes it super simple to use. No buttons to worry about is always a plus, right? It is USB rechargeable and totally waterproof. But, it’s best feature of all is the lack of noise. It is dead silent.”
Tracy’s Dog Flamingo Mini Sucking Vibrator
Described as “whisper quiet,” this mini vibrator is anything but timid. It has 10 suction frequencies that range from low to high. The vibrator from Tracy’s Dog is crafted from odorless silicone that is waterproof and easy to clean. Use the code “Sheknows15” on the Tracy’s Dog site to save 15 percent on any clitoral sucking toy such as this one.
Rianne S. Heart Vibe
A vibrator that’s as cute as it is powerful, the Rianne S. Heart Vibe will surely make a sweet addition to any sex toy collection. Crafted from supple silicone, the toy is incredibly smooth to the touch. And its unique shape allows for a few different kinds of targeted stimulation, while looking subtle enough to sit out on your nightstand (especially around Valentine’s Day!).
Satisfyer Pro Traveler
The Satisfyer uses air and suction to attach to your clitoris and simulate oral sex. “It’s a dream come true for any gal on the go,” Engle shares. “The traveler comes with a magnetic closure, so you never have to worry about it coming loose in your bag, making contact with whatever else you’ve brought along on your trip. And, you know, there’s no chance of the TSA freaking out. It is discrete and extremely quiet. Plus, it’s just an economical buy.”
Iroha Mini Vibe
In addition to being incredibly adorable, the Iroha Mini Vibe is decidedly discreet. Its appearance leaves it looking more like a lip balm than a sex toy, and it boasts subtle vibrations that keep the volume to a minimum.
Dame Products Rechargeable Quiet Silicone Wand Massager
The Dame Com was designed to be a seamless addition to partner play. Whereas other clitoral stimulators may feel bulky — and hard to make space for during intercourse — the Dame Com slips right over your clitoris to provide a little extra fun. The toy’s quiet motor and confounding appearance make it a particularly discreet way to spice things up in the bedroom.
Fin Finger Vibe
Though finger vibrators require a little more effort than the average sex toy, they offer all kinds of discretion. Since finger vibrators are small, their motors tend to err on the quiet side. Plus, they rarely, if ever, resemble standard sex toys, so it’s unlikely anyone will stumble upon one and know exactly what it is.
The One Rose Clitoral Stimulator
TikTok loves this cute but powerful vibrator, which is all about suction and pulsation. Reviewers say The One Rose isn’t the quietest option, but the pressure wave technology and the petal design — whih is meant to deliver a light tickling sensation — make it worth it.
Satisfyer Mono Flex
Okay, so this one isn’t exactly discreet in the looks department. Mono Flex looks very much like a sleek but standard rabbit vibe. But it is one that is incredibly quiet and low-key to use, particularly when paired with Satisfyer’s app. The hands-free ability to adjust intensity and sensations while staying fairly quiet buzz-wise makes this one a must-have for G-spot stimulation lovers.
IMO Full Silicone Vibrating Cock Ring
A quiet, stretch-y ring that ups the intensity of the orgasm for partners with penises plus has a vibrating G-spot stimulator attached, this one is USB rechargeable and super stealth. Plus, the body-safe silicone is easy to clean.
