SEX ADVICE:

How to Choose the Right Vibrator

Where to begin?! It's like a needle in a haystack. But here's a check list and some suggestions that might help narrow down the search for a good fit. And it’s no secret, a lot of guys buy vibrators for women. Keep in mind, everyone is different, and these are just suggestions. Bottom line…if it vibrates, donuts to dollars, it will be fine. Best not to overthink it. Hope this helps.  

 1) Function. Start by asking yourself how you plan to use the toy: overall vulva, clitoris, G-spot, anally or more?

    •  Clitoral Vibrators - Most women need clitoral stimulation to have an orgasm. To this end, clitoral stimulators and clit vibrating sex toys were specifically designed to target this super sensitive zone.  Relatively new to the clitoral world, are non-pressure clitoral vibrators..  The  most popular being the Womanizer and Satisfyer.  We use the term "vibrator" loosely, because these don't really vibrate but instead create a gentle suction that produces orgasm quickly without any over stimulation... or as we say... clit fatigue.  Click here to view all our clitoral vibrators. Below are some of our favorites.

  • G-Spot Vibrators – G Spot vibrators come semi-realistic or smooth, with that particular bend in the shaft that connects with your magic spot. If you feel you've never found your G spot, then buying a G spot vibrator is the answer for you.  Once you've hit the spot, there is no going back. And if you still can't find it? Read our article "Finding the G-Spot".

  •  Rabbit Vibrators - Originally designed by a woman, Jack Rabbit vibrators are used for simultaneous vaginal and clitoral stimulation. The shaft's outer layer is typically constructed from a soft jelly or silicone material, creating a bunny rabbit vibrator that massages both the clitoral and vaginal regions. Dual penetrating rabbit vibrators have an extra thin probe for a triple treat. For an added thrill, try a thrusting rabbit vibrator.  In addition to vibrating and rotating, thrusting rabbit vibrators go up and down, mimicking intercourse.

  •  Anal Vibrators - For a little buzz in the tush, try an anal vibrator during alone time or with a partner. The feeling of fullness, together with a touch of inner vibration creates an unusual, exciting sensation. Though not categorized as anal vibrators, ultra thin vibrators work just as well.

  2) Use. Are you planning to enjoy it on our own or with someone very special? Remote controlled toys are worth checking out. Hand over the control and wait for a surprise.

  • Remote Controlled -  If the object of your object your affection and lust is a world away or maybe just in the next room, try a remote-controlled vibrator. These interactive distance-loving sex toys have become hi-tech, using phone apps and motion sensors. They can be controlled by your phone, a hand-held device, a ring on your finger, and even a wristband. Your lover is now only a phone app away.

  • Erection Rings – Want to keep things closer to home? Try a vibrating erection ring. These stretching rings stimulate both partners simultaneously while helping them keep a more prolonged, robust erection. If you can't be with your guy but want to knock off his pants, try a remote-controlled c-ring. Out of sight does not mean out of mind.

  3) Portability. Do you want a toy that slips discreetly into your purse or backpack or a plug-in model that mostly stays at home? Traditional vibrators, like the Magic Wand, plug directly into AC. Plus, you never have to scramble for batteries or wait for a recharge, and the power is always reliable. On the downside, you are attached to a cord. Back to the plus side, many Magic Wand-type massagers are now rechargeable in varying sizes. Lots of the newer, smaller vibrators are USB rechargeable with abstract and non-phallic designs...you can charge them on your computer while you work and your co-workers wouldn't have a clue.

  • Small & Discreet for Travel - These discreet vibrators are scaled down in size. Fear not; these small, discreet vibrators can be as intense as their more significant counterparts. Tuck them into your carry-on or pack them in your luggage without worrying about a TSA agent confiscating your hidden sex toy. Remove the batteries or use the travel lock feature when packing.

  • Electric & Recharging - Biggest advantage of electric and recharging -- no running around looking for batteries. But you do have to recharge or stay plugged into the AC.  Also, many newer vibrators can be charged via USB. In the long run, electric and recharging vibrators do have a longer life and are environment-friendly. And they are more powerful than battery-operated ones. 

   4) Design. Do you like the look and feel of a real penis but don't have access to one? Luckily some options don't require an actual Y chromosome. What do you call the useless skin around a penis? A man. To the guy reading this, we apologize. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up that joke. Back to design...the flip side of realistic vibrators would be ultra discreet ones Those disguised vibes can fall out of your purse, or be displayed on your bedroom shelf, and no one would guess what it was. 

  • Realistic Vibrators (vibrating dildos) have a "fleshy" feeling and are phallic-shaped. Some have balls. Some don't. Some look exactly like a penis and some lean towards semi-realistic. Regardless of the appearance, they can provide a fuller feeling and come close to creating a sense of intercourse.

  • Discreet Vibrators - These "incognito" vibes look like anything but a vibrator. Fear not; these small and discreet vibrators can provide orgasms while keeping a secret. A lipstick vibrator is a must-have for women on the go. You have to keep those other "lips" happy, too. Accessorize with a chic vibrating necklace. And end your evening in a hot bath with a clitoral-loving yellow rubber duck.

 5) Price. It often comes down to what you can afford. Typically, more expensive vibrators are rechargeable, made of premium silicone, driven by sophisticated motors, and have multiple functions.  "Budget-friendly" vibrators are usually battery-operated and made from plastic or rubber. However, with proper care, they can last a long time and provide years of pleasure.  

  • Budget Friendly and Quality -  Many manufacturers have come up with affordable versions of their more expensive products.  Womanizer, Satisfyer and Fun Factory have been responsive to consumers' need and offer a wide range of prices and styles. Vibrators, like all technology, are getting better, smarter and cheaper.  It pays to look around and do your homework.

 

  •  Luxury Vibrators - Everyone loves a beautifully made vibrator. Luxury sex toys personify style, sensuality and craftsmanship. Their designs are simple and sophisticated and the technology is state-of-the art. These objects of beauty last for years and are worth the investment.  Some of favorite brands are Lelo, Le Wand and Nu Sensuelle. You cannot go wrong if you give one as a gift. And if it is for you... You deserve the best. In either case, fantastic sex will be had by all. Enjoy and stay sexy!
