Orgasms are the gift that keeps on giving. Not only do they spark joy in IRT, orgasms can help relieve pain, reduce anxiety and strengthen your pelvic floor among other sexy health benefits.
Unfortunately, the big O can be elusive for some of us. This can be especially true for women and people assigned female at birth living with mobility issues.
Impaired mobility can affect the nerves and joints in your back, hips, knees and hands — typically the body parts involved in sexual pleasure. Mobility issues may also affect sensitivity and the ability to have an orgasm in the first place. The good news is that sex toys can help women with mobility restrictions find easier and more comfortable ways to enjoy sex and masturbation.

Lightweight vibrators, malleable wands, hands-free devices and technology-assisted toys are among the latest models for people with mobility issues to consider. Here are some options to try solo or with partners and choose your own orgasm adventure.
Small vibrators for a big orgasm

Most women need some stimulation of the clitoris in order to have an orgasm. So vibrators — and vibrators designed to give special attention to the clitoris — can offer bang for your buck. The DiGiT ($69.95) is lightweight and worn on your finger so you don’t have to worry about holding anything or losing your grip. Also consider Dame’s palm-sized Pom ($99), Fin finger vibrator ($65) and Flirt Finger Bunny Finger Vibrator ($14.95).

Air-suction for a breathtaking orgasm

Air-suction vibrators use air pulses and/or sonic waves for stimulation and mimic the feelings of oral sex. The Womanizer, a female-focused sex toy company, pioneered the art of air-suction technology when they debuted their signature vibrator ($129) using Pleasure Air Technology 10 years ago. The technology is said to prevent overstimulation, which may be good for people with sensitivity issues. And the targeted sensation can help get you there quicker than other more traditional methods. Also consider the Satisfyer Pro 2 ($49.99) and the Aer Suction ($119).
Lay-ons for a more attainable orgasm
Go ahead and sit, grind or lay directly on these toys for a ticket to pleasure town. For example, the Laya III ($109) from Fun Factory cups the pubic bone while sending vibrations and taps at the same time to target various types of nerve endings. The Starzi ($79) is a sex toy that looks like a starfish and a good option for people with hand conditions. Also consider the Romp Wave Lay-On Vibrator ($34.99) for hands-free stimulation and the vibrating 2-in-1 Grinder ($34.99) from plusOne.
Remote-controls for a hands-free, spontaneous orgasm

These toys are controlled by remote control or an app, which is good if you need something more hands-free. For example, the We-Vibe Sync ($129) offers a dual stimulation and G-spot design that can be activated by you or a partner via phone app from anywhere on the planet. If this type of toy is your jam, also consider Eve's Rechargeable Vibrating Panty ($38.49) by Adam and Eve and the Pearl ($29.99).
We all deserve to feel good
Sexual pleasure is a basic human need. And having limited mobility doesn’t mean your options for pleasure need to be limited too. So consider getting one (or more!) of these accessible sex toys and make a trip to O town.
