What is a Vibrator

Fancy bringing your foreplay to a whole new level or turning your solo play into a wet and wild ride? Vibrators can do all that and more, usually with just a click of a button. So, what is a vibrator?

Vibrators are sex toys that vibrate and stimualte erogenous zones, usually to the point of orgasm. While women are the biggest fans of vibrators, they are also amazing for guys to use. They can be used on a number of hot zones including your clit, G-spot, P-spot, nipples, perineum, anus, and pretty much anywhere else it feels good…and, trust us, it feels good everywhere!

They use internal motors to create buzzing, humming, throbbing, pulsing, and even thrusting sensations that can’t be produced by fingers, tongues, or a penis alone. While many are designed to mimic the sensations you’d expect from a little oral or thrust action, they tend to enhance it…and they don’t get tired.

Vibrators can also be incredible for discovering exactly what parts of your genitals or body you enjoy being stimulated, how intense, and for how long, so they’re great for using with a partner so they can discover exactly how you like to be pleasured.

How to Pick a Vibrator

Silicone, rabbits, thrusters, bullets, wands, realistic, beginner vibrator…yep. There is a LOT of choice out there when it comes to our vibrating buddies. Knowing how to pick a vibrator is the first step you need to take on your sex toy journey, and we know the choices can be a little overwhelming.

Like most sex toys, vibrators come in all different shapes, sizes, and styles, and choosing your perfect vibrator depends on what kind of stimulation you’re looking for.

Do you prefer clitoral stimulation? Internal penetration? Hard thrusting? Intense pulsations? Or maybe a combination of all of the above? If you’re not sure about how powerful you can take it, it’s a good idea to choose a vibrator which offers a variety of different speeds and powers. This way, you can decide to speed things up or slow things down depending on your mood.

As a little overview, the main types of vibrators offer several types of stimulation and include:

Vibrators for external stimulation – a great beginner vibrator, this buzzing buddy comes in different styles and can be used anywhere on the body, but are mainly enjoyed for stimulating your clit.

Vibrators for penetration – looking to dive right in? These vibrators are designed to go in and stimulate and caress your G-spot.

Combo vibrators – get the best of both worlds with a combo vibrator. One end is designed to go in deep while the other is perfectly positioned to stimulate your clit. Have mercy!

Sucking vibrators – you heard right, these vibrators are designed to feel like your being given the best oral of your life.
Anal vibrators – want some backdoor action? Anal vibrators are designed to pleasure the prostate gland like never before.

In a bit, we’ll walk you through our vibrator guide so you can make sure you choose the best vibrator (or vibrators) for you and your burning needs.

How to Use a Vibrator

Before we get into all the different types of vibrators available, let’s look at the big question – how to use a vibrator.

While it may seem pretty self-explanitory, using a vibrator really comes down to your sexual and pleasurable preferences, and what makes you feel comfortable and good. If you’re a beginner, it’s important to take your time with your new vibrating friend. Set the mood and allow yourself to explore your toy. If it has different settings, try them all out one at a time on different parts of your body.

Maybe you enjoy the vibrations on your inner thighs to turn up the heat before moving things up north. There isn’t a wrong or right way when it comes to how to use a vibrator. It’s all about pleasuring yourself and seeing what feels best for you.

We always recommend cleaning your toy before and after you use it. There are sex toy cleansers available, or you can use good old hot and soapy water. Just remember to check the care instructions on your vibrator before reaching for the soap, as sex toys tend to be made from porous (hard plastic, cyberskin, elastomer, jelly rubber, nylon, vinyl, acrylic, leather, neoprene) or nonporous (silicone, glass, metal, ABS hard plastic) materials.

Another product you want to have before getting down with your buzzing friend is lube, as the more lubed up you are, the easier it can be to find those hard to reach pleasure zones. Just make sure you choose the right lube for your vibrator – plastic vibrators can be used with silicone-based, oil-based or water-based lubricant, but silicone, rubber and realistic feel (TPE or TPR) vibrators should only be used with water-based lube, as other lubes may degrade the material. And no one wants that!

Our final tip for how to use a vibrator is to get to know your new toy before getting down and dirty. Every vibrator has its own functions and settings, and some can be more complicated to use than others. Read the instructions, check out some online reviews, and play with the controls until you feel comfortable taking it for a spin. Trust us, just playing with your vibrator and getting to know it can be enough to get your juices flowing!

Vibrator Guide and Types of Vibrators

Right pleasure-lovers. Let’s get down to business and walk you through the different types of vibrators out there so you can buy a vibrator and start your new exciting journey.

Rabbit Vibrators

Made infamous by Sex and the City, the classic rabbit vibrator is an essential for everyone’s sex toy box. Ideal for solo use and couples, rabbit vibrators are one of the best vibrators available because they offer both clitoral and interal stimulation, helping to bring you to an earth-shattering blended orgasm.

Many rabbit vibrators include rotating and thrusting sensations in the shaft as well as a pair of “rabbit ears” that are designed to hit your clit just right. Rabbits offer different levels of speed and vibration, so you can build things up slowly before going wild.
