Lay on vibrators may be small but they have a lot to love. While they are a much tamer toy than some of the other products we feature they are super versatile. Plus, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying some slower pleasure!
Some of the lay on vibrators on this list are dual functioning meaning you are already getting more bang for your buck. However most of these vibrators double up as palm vibrators too. It’s not all about laying down and grinding – though they are perfect for that too if it’s your cup of tea!
One of the things I love about lay on vibrators is that they’re non-representational. Not everyone wants a sex toy that looks like a real life penis or vagina. I, for one, much prefer cute sex toys! And I can assure you, there’s definitely some cute offerings on this list!
Test Winner Pom Flexible Vibrator by Dame
The Pom is a cute little lay on vibrator that is super beginner friendly.
It’s small size makes sure that it snuggly fits into the palm of your hand and I think this would be a good choice for people that have struggled to grip other vibrators in the past.
Don’t be fooled by its small size though. The Pom is still pretty powerful. It has 5 vibration patterns and 5 vibration intensities while staying super quiet. If rumbly vibrations are your thing then the Pom definitely delivers.
I like that the simple yet luxurious design ensures that it feels super soft against your skin. Thanks to the flexibility of this lay on vibrator, you can get pretty close too! It bends and flexes with your body to ensure you can get the best control for both precise and broad stimulation.
Pros
- ✅ Flexes with your body
- ✅ Small, ergonomic design
- ✅ Fits between bodies for partner play
Cons
- ❌ Controls are very easy to knock and change
- ❌ Takes a while to charge compared to usage time
Vibrations:
Why I Chose It
If you’re wanting a small but powerful lay on vibrator then the Pom could be for you.
It’s a beginner friendly design that’s easy to operate and looks nice. However I do think it’s on the pricier side compared to a couple of the other lay on vibrators on this list so it’s not necessarily a beginner friendly price point.
A big selling point for me is the small and discreet design. Even on the highest setting, this vibrator is super quiet. The ergonomic design is small enough to fit into the palm of your hand so if you find other vibrators uncomfortable or difficult to grip then I think this could be a really good choice.
However, as much as I love the Pom it does have some very slight drawbacks. The controls are very easily knocked when the toy is in use, this could be a tricky one for partner play. The toy is brilliantly designed to fit between bodies so I feel like more thought could have gone in to the buttons.
The charge time is also relatively long as 2 hours compared to just 1 hour of usage time.

Budget-Friendly plusOne Mini Massager
The PlusOne Mini Massager has a beautifully curved design with the idea of being used for pinpoint clitoral stimulation at the tip as well as for use on other external erogenous zones. The broader base allows for up close use on your vulva.
I like that this offers a more unique shape to some of the other more flat and broad designs on this list. Unlike some of the other lay on vibrators in this round-up, this does offer up more precise stimulation for those that prefer it.
A positive design element for me is the one button design that sits flush against the toy. I like that there aren’t a lot of controls to get used to, just hold the button in to turn it on and off and do a short press to cycle through the 10 vibration settings.
Pros
- ✅ Really cheap for a lay on vibrator
- ✅ One button for all controls
- ✅ Flashing light indicates when the battery is low
Cons
- ❌ Vibrations may not be strong enough for some
- ❌ Not flexible enough for some
Vibrations:
Why I Chose It
I appreciate that the PlusOne Mini Massager offers something different in terms of shape. The curved design allows for both precise and broad stimulation. I would say that if you do like real pinpoint stimulation though, the PlusOne won’t give you that.
I think the one button design is super handy and makes using this lay on vibrator a breeze. It’s easy to turn on and off and cycle through the different settings but it doesn’t feel like your going to accidentally bump the button when using it. I like that the button also flashes when the battery is running low so you get a bit of warning without it cutting out at a crucial moment!
While the shape of the PlusOne is different, it won’t be suitable for everyone, and the lack of flexibility when this lay-on vibrator could prove tricky for some.
Best for Beginners ROMP Wave Rechargeable Clitoral Vibrator
The ROMP Wave is a little dose of summery fun. It gives me holiday vibes with its unique surfboard shape and it’s delightful minty colour.
I really enjoy the shape of this vibrator and the unique design. However the design does also hinder the vibrations slightly as they’re not very focused.
Because of the buzzy, lighter vibrations you get from this lay on vibrator, I think it lends itself nicely to been a toy for foreplay rather than one that is going to take you all the way to climax.
It’s very small and discreet in design and sound so would be perfect for travelling.
Pros
- ✅ Good as a foreplay companion
- ✅ Good for travelling
- ✅ Fun design
Cons
- ❌ Vibrations won't be strong enough for a lot of people
- ❌ Shape can make it difficult to hit the right spot
Vibrations:
Why I Chose It
The ROMP Wave is a fun little vibrator that would be great for foreplay. However I think it lends itself to been more pleasing on the eye than it is on the body.
I love how beginner friendly it looks with its surfboard shape and pretty colour. However because it is quite a weak vibrator, I would go as far as to say that that lay on vibrator is perfect for those that are brand new to any kind of sex toy.
The shape makes it a little tricky to hit the right spot and I think this makes the vibrations seem really unfocused. It’s good for getting warmed up but I wouldn’t expect the vibrator to take you all the way to climax without the use of manual stimulation or another toy.
It’s cute and unique but for me, it falls short in the pleasure category. It certainly has it’s uses as a foreplay aide but I think there are much stronger but equally as beginner friendly lay on vibrators in this list that would be a better choice.

Dual Function Fun Factory Laya III
The Fun Factory Laya III combines rumbly vibrations and unique tapping motions for a dual functioning lay on vibrator.
It a lovely ergonomic design and the bean shape fits snuggly into your hand and sits nicely against your body while in use. The buttons are super easy to operate even when in use because of the placement. I think this is a great choice for anyone with grip or mobility issues in their hands. However you may have a problem changing the settings if you’re wanting a toy that works between bodies.
Design wise, I love the slightly futuristic feel of this. It has a nice shape with some light texture in the form of ridges. I’m also a fan of the cute pastel colors it’s available in.
The vibrations on this are quite rumbly, but much like the other lay on vibrators on this list, you’ll struggle to get anything too deep. I do like the added tapping motion though!
Pros
- ✅ Rumbly vibrations and tapping motions
- ✅ Easy to control when in use
- ✅ Memory function that starts where you last left off
- ✅ Waterproof
- ✅ Travel lock
- ✅ Ergonomic design
Cons
- ❌ Extremely long charging time
- ❌ May feel a bit too firm for some people
- ❌ Speeds and patterns cannot be controlled independently
- ❌ Not insertable
Why I Chose It
This is a fine example of a tapping lay on vibrator done right! Since the product we’ll be reviewing below also has a tapping feature, I think this one takes the cake! The vibrations and tapping motion are equally as pleasurable and fairly powerful in the Laya III. Considering the Laya III and the Palm have very similar price points, I’d definitely recommend this one over the Palm.
Design wise, I’m a big fan of the more futuristic look of this. However it still maintains a beginner friendly status thanks to the small size and ease of use. I think the ergonomic design adds to the overall comfort since it lays nicely against the body in a lot of different positions. However, since it’s definitely more firm than squishy I have to mention that our tester found that in some positions, it may not fit the body’s contours on all body types.
I also quite like the more pronounced buttons here. I’m normally a fan of more flush buttons but this design choice really lends itself to that more futuristic look.
There’s some light texture with the ridges, but nothing too full on like you see on the Kushi. If you appreciate some textured stimulation then I think you’ll like this one.
The big drawback to this toy though is the charging time. However that is the only negative I could find. This lay on vibrator has the longest charge time of any vibrator on this list with a whopping 6-7 hours! Forward planning is definitely required!
Insertable Ruby Glow Blush Ride On Vibrator & Wand Combination
The Ruby Glow Blush is a two-in-one lay on vibrator that can also be used a G-spot stimulating wand and it’s nothing short of magical!
When used as a lay on vibrator it sits comfortably nestled inside the docking station. The magnetic charging pins secure the toy to the base ensuring that even with the most enthusiastic grinding, this toy isn’t going anywhere!
Remove the vibrator from the base to use it as a G-spot vibrator. The curved heads makes massaging your G-spot a breeze and I like that there’s the option of clitoral stimulation from the middle hump, though I acknowledge that this won’t work for all anatomies.
There’s two motors, the tip has lighter vibrations while the middle hump has deep and rumbly vibrations. Both motors can be controlled by the remote or on the toy when used as a wand.
Pros
- ✅ Can be used internally and externally
- ✅ Has both light and rumbly vibrations
- ✅ Has a secure base for grinding
- ✅ Remote control has a really far range
- ✅ The removable wand is waterproof
Cons
- ❌ Too expensive for some
- ❌ The vibrations can get quite rattly and loud in the cradle
- ❌ May be not be suitable for different anatomies
- ❌ Very firm for grinding
Why I Chose It
In my opinion, the Ruby Glow Blush is a pretty impressive and versatile lay on vibrator! The dual functionality, the high quality design, the G-spot stimulation, the docking station. It ticks all the boxes.
As both a lay on vibrator and a G-spot wand I think this vibrator performs wonderfully. There’s absolutely no compromise on pleasure or quality across both usages unlike other vibrators on this list such as the Playboy Palm. However, it does feel a bit more buzzy rather than rumbly on some settings.
As a lay on vibrator the addition of the base is a great idea as it really secures the vibrator in place so you can grind away to your hearts content! As a G-spot massager I think it has the perfect angle and just the right amount of girth to feel great as an insertable toy,
The addition of two motors that are controlled separately is always a winner for me and I really like that the remote control range is up to 49 ft! This also makes it ideal to use with a partner for some fun teasing or for surrendering control of your pleasure to someone else.
The colour and materials feel really luxurious and the deep ruby colour with metallic accents adds a really sensual look to this toy. Although the feel of the silicone is a bit firm compared to some other more squishy lay on vibrators. This is, of course, a question of preference.
If I really had to pick a negative, it would be the price as it’s the most expensive lay on vibrator on this list. However I do think the price tag is totally justified!
Soft Tenga Iroha+ Kushi Vibrator
I think the first thing you notice with this lay on vibrator is how nice it looks. Almost like you know how soft and squishy it’s going to be before you even touch it.
I personally like the ridges on this though I know the highly textured nature of this toy won’t be to everyone’s liking. The good news for a toy this textured too is that it’s completely waterproof meaning you can get right it there with cleaning. It also has an anti-dust coating which I think is a nice addition and not one any of the other toys on this list (apart from the other Tenga Iroha+ toy) can promise.
This lay on vibrator does allow for both broad and more precise stimulation and to be fair the vibrations in this one are pretty decent! Not as deep and rumbly as a traditional vibrator but not too bad at all for a broader toy.
Pros
- ✅ Fairly powerful for a broader vibrator
- ✅ Soft, textured body
- ✅ Flexible tip for more precise stimulation
- ✅ Has a charging case
Cons
- ❌ Vibrations can be felt strongly through the hand
- ❌ Not many vibration functions
Vibrations:
Why I Chose It
From my diligent research it would appear people are very divided on what this lay on vibrator reminds them of. There’s team hedgehog and team shell. I’m definitely team shell as upon seeing the vibrator for the first time I was instantly reminded of a shell. I think it plays into the soft and serene feeling of the toy a bit more than a hedgehog too!
There’s no denying that this is a lovely vibrator to look at and touch. It feels incredibly soft and squishy and I feel like that element comes through before you’ve even felt it. Due to the squishy nature, you’d be forgiven for thinking that the vibration on this would be quite light. Wrong! I was pleasantly surprised that this was a little more rumbly. Definitely not deep enough for some but certainly a commendable effort from a broader toy!
I’m personally not a huge fan of the charging case. It’s a cute, small, delicate toy and the charging case just seems a little out of character and a bit bulky but it gets the job done and you can always put it away and buy a separate storage back for the vibrator if you want.
It’s a great option for a more delicate level of stimulation but it won’t be suited to those that don’t like textured toys or that don’t like to feel the vibrations travelling through their whole body.
Best for couples Satisfyer Purple Pleasure Clitoral Vibrator
The Purple Pleasure makes a nice refreshing change in a world of bright pink vibrators! The deep purple hue is complimented by a metallic purple casing.
It’s a nice flat shape which I think makes it an ideal choice for use during partner play as it should fit between bodies quite nicely. The lack of curves and contours makes it a good choice for use on other external erogenous zones too.
For a cheap price, this lay on vibrator actually has a decent range of functions which I was quite pleased to see. It has 15 rumbly settings to work through which is more than some of the more expensive lay on vibrators have on this list!
A really big selling point for me was the fact that you can actually cycle back and forth between the settings which is something that only one other vibrator – the Laya – offers. Considering the significant price difference between this toy and the Laya its definitely nice to see a cheaper toy offering that function.
Pros
- ✅ Can cycle back and forth between functions without starting from scratch
- ✅ Ideal for partner play
- ✅ Lots of vibration settings
- ✅ Can be used as hand-held or lay-on vibrator
Cons
- ❌ Vibrations tend to rattle through the plastic casing
- ❌ Not the quietest
- ❌ Very long charge time
Vibrations:
Why I Chose It
For the price I think this is a great option for a lay on vibrator. There’s far more expensive vibrators on this list that don’t offer as many vibration functions as this does.
The vibrations it does offer are fairly rumbly however it does have some faults here. The vibrations can be felt fairly strongly through the toy and therefore through your hand. As the casing is plastic it can get a little rattly the stronger the vibration you use. I think this could be off-putting for some people and it also doesn’t make for very discreet play.
That been said I like that this is fairly flat offering. The lack of contours makes it perfect for use with a partner as I think it should fit quite snuggly between bodies. I also like that the shape allows for use on other erogenous zones.
I did find the charging time on this to be particularly long. At 3.5 hours it definitely requires some forward planning!
