Indulge in this pleasure-filled necklace that is designed to be worn in private and in public. It operates at four different speeds while giving you (or your partner) 40 minutes of uninterrupted play. Personalize with a special message to yourself or a loved one. Sweet or naughty, your choice.

Pleasure is highly complex. We know that what works for one person may not work for another – all varying pleasure being valid, of course. Duet Pro comes from the idea that exploration is the key to uncovering and discovering one’s preference. Duet Pro is designed as a focused clitoral vibrator with dual tips that surround the clitoris. With such a focused sensation, the adjustability of the vibration pattern allows users to hone in on what really works for them.

I wanted to find out if this was true, or if I’m spouting nonsense. To dig deeper, I spoke with Ti Chang, the VP of Design at Crave, a luxury sex toy company. I mean, what could be better than talking with someone who makes a product that’s so utterly committed to user experience?

All six experts we spoke to about the best travel-friendly sex toys mentioned Crave’s Vesper bullet vibrator, which is so discreetly-designed it can be worn as a necklace. The toy combines form and function with an “easy to transport” design that also “packs a lot of punch.” Certified clinical sexologist Gigi Engle says that the vibrator “offers intense pinpoint clitoral stimulation” but she’s also managed to successfully wear it through airport security with no one the wiser.

I believe that having high quality, beautiful products that are price accessible, showing up in pop culture, and being sold at mainstream shops enabled people to start much needed conversations that normalised the conversation of pleasure. This, ultimately, changes how women perceive their own pleasure.

For Chang, focusing on delivering products that center women’s needs has been a lifelong pursuit. As an industrial designer, she says she’s only ever worked on products for women since she graduated from college.

Technology has gotten so compact nowadays, so it’s no wonder that people have started designing wearable sex toys for on-the-go fun. They’re easy to carry around, convenient to use after a night out, and honestly, some of them really are gorgeous pieces of statement jewelry.
