Not sure which vibrator will suit you? Here’s everything you need to know before you buy a vibrator online.
While shopping for a sex toy can be awkward, overwhelming, and a challenge, and with so many questions like does it matter what they look like? What is the difference between the vibrations? and, does it have to look like a penis? Always remember that like shopping for any luxury product, you do need to put in some thought, after all, you are investing in your personal pleasure. So, before you start shopping, think about what you want from your new vibrator and read this must-know info.
With so many choices out there from large wand-like vibrators and discreet ones that fit in the palm of your hand, it’s hard to work out which size is going to bring you the most pleasure if you’re a first-timer. Consider what you enjoy the most when you masturbate and have sex and take the time to work out what kind of stimulation you would like to experience. But size is very personal and depends on if you want to hide it, be discreet, or have mobility or hand issues which would mean you’ll need one with an easier-to-hold handle. If you are new to sex toys then a versatile, not-too-big type is a good choice and something you can use for insertion and for external play.
Know your type: There are so many different types of vibrators out there. Some are made to mimic masturbation or oral sex, while others are designed for use with a partner. But generally, vibrators break down into these types.
External – They stimulate the clitoris or labia and are meant for people who want or need external stimulation during penetration or prefer no penetration at all. These vary in looks, but they are generally wider so they can cover more surface area.
Internal – They go inside the vagina and stimulate your G-spot. They’re generally long and cylindrical to mimic the feel of penetrative sex, though there are variations in shapes.
Combo - They can be used inside and outside the vagina. These are your stereotypical ‘rabbit’ vibrators. They generally have a cylindrical portion with an added arm that stimulates your G-spot and clitoris at the same time.
Anal – They stimulate inside or outside the anus and usually have a base, so they don’t get lost or stuck.
Penis-focused – They go around or on the shaft of the penis to stimulate feelings of penetrative sex or masturbation.
Which one is best for you depends, ultimately on what kind of stimulation you would like and that can vary from occasion to occasion.
Your next step is figuring out what sensation you want, which varies based on what kind of motor your vibrator has. In other words, do you want broad vibrations across a large area, targeted vibrations, patterned vibrations, or nonstop ones? If you want to stimulate a large area, you’re going to want a flatter, broader sex toy, but if you want to target one specific spot, you’re going to want a vibrator that has a narrow tip so you can stay at a specific spot. Most vibrators come with a variety of modes, cycling through vibrations patterns, or delivering short pulses. What you want depends on what feels good to you. If you are a newbie, you might want to go for a vibrator that offers a range of different cycles or pulsing so you can figure out what you like. One of the benefits of owning a vibrator is that you can try the techniques and sensations that you can’t do with your hand alone. When doing your research look at the rhythmic pulse options, and whether there is a lockable feature for your favourite mode. Think about how you masturbate and what sensations feel best for you, then narrow down your type.
Whether you go for an internal vibrator or not, your new toy will be touching some sensitive skin, so it’s important you pick a vibrator that’s comfortable for you. The safest material is silicone as it's non-porous, easy to clean, soft, and generally safe. You should always use lubricants on your toy and on your body before using it. It's worth knowing that a water-based version is best with silicone vibrators as silicone lubes will degrade the silicone surface of your sex toy.
When it comes down to it, no matter how powerful the vibrator is, you must love what it looks like. If you think it looks scary, tacky, or aesthetically unappealing then it may affect how you feel when using it. After all, it’s something you are using to get turned on with. Believe it or not, desire and aesthetics are personal and entwined so pick one that speaks to you.
Things not to overlook are is the vibrator battery operated or rechargeable. Waterproof or water-resistant? It makes bath time more fun and when they are waterproof it makes cleaning them super easy. Also, find out if it is quiet. Super silent vibrators soundproof your masturbation so you can relax without worrying about the noise it's making, especially if there’s more than just you in the house at the time.
