How to pick out a Vibrator for You


15 Jul 2009

We completely understand that with over 10,000 sex toys floating around on the market today that finding the right vibrator can be quite an overwhelming task, but we like to think of it like starting a collection. You don't have to own the most expensive sex toys or the most popular sex toys to get the most out of your novelties. When choosing a vibrator, you must decide exactly what kind of sexual gratification you are looking to receive from the vibe.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself while browsing through the vibrators to see what may be right for you and your lover.

Are you looking for a vibrator for solo masturbation or one to use with a partner or both?

Generally, during solo masturbation most women prefer a classic vibrator for basic stimulation and a bullet vibrator or clitoral stimulator to use simulataneously to make the sensations and arousal more profound. There are many women that cannot orgasm by basic vaginal stimulation alone which is why the clitoral vibes or bullets help enhance that intensity enabling a women to reach orgasm.

Are you looking for a vibrator with multiple purposes to stimulate you vaginally, anally, on your g spot, or clitoral area?

This is one of the most important questions to find out because it narrows down what type of vibrator you may be interested in using during sex. There are specific vibrators that have a curved end that helps target a woman's g spot area located about two inches on the inner wall of the vagina. This spot is by far the most arousing sexual sensation area for most women. There are also vibrators specifically designed to stimulate the clitoris which is actually the pea sized organ located on the external region of the vagina. The clitoris can be penetrated by most women and can actually cause orgasm without any vaginal penetration. The most popular sex toy vibrators purchased are referred to as the "Jack Rabbit Vibes" which essentially have a longer shaft for vaginal stimulation and a smaller frontal vibrating area to stimulate the clit area. These come in various styles such as dolphin shapes and rabbits, but they all are dual penetration vibrators.

Are you looking for a harder plastic vibrator or a softer texture such as silicone?

Original vibrators used to be all plastic, but now that has changed drastically with most of them either being rubber, jelly, or silicone vibrators. There are still women out there that prefer the old school hard plastic ones for their hard core sensations. The silicone vibrators tend to be the most popular and easiest to clean up after sex.

Are you looking for a waterproof vibrator?

If you are looking for a waterproof vibrator that allows you to submerge it in water then those are also readily available. Make sure that you find a good lubricant (preferably silicone based) to use to make the sensations more smooth and comfortable under water. Never use a water based lubricant with a waterproof sex toy or the lube will just wash off in the water.
