- You Get What You Pay For
When you're shopping for your first vibrator, you may think that $80-$100 is pricey, but with vibrators you really do get what you pay for. Cheaper vibrators are great if you're interested in trying a vibrator for the first time - just don't expect it to last. Toys in the $20 range rarely last as long as you'd like them to. The point is: if you want a quality product, you're going to have to pay for it. Women looking for a quality toy should look at the Rabbit Vibe Featured on Sex and the City, the Rabbit Vibe features one of the best motors in the industry. The rotating head provides incredible vaginal stimulation while the little bunny focuses on the clitoris. If you buy just one vibrator, then this is it.
Being a smart consumer
The price, durability and portability of a vibrator will undoubtedly influence your decision to buy one model over another. Electric vibrators are usually more expensive than their battery powered counterparts but last longer. Name brand vibrators, commonly referred to by most larger companies as ‘personal massagers’ are of the highest quality, but normally come at the highest price as well. As for battery powered vibrators, their most appealing attribute is the fact that they are portable. This means you can enjoy your toy at the cottage, while on vacation or even on a date! Remember to stock up on batteries, as these vibes tend to run themselves down quickly.
What is the difference between a vibrator and a dildo?
You may not have guessed it, but vibrators are not primarily used for vaginal penetration. If you thought they were, you might have been thinking about dildos, which are used for this purpose. Let's clarify the distinction between the two. Vibrators are quivering, electrical devices, and are used most often on the exterior of a woman's genitals for sexual stimulation. They can sometimes resemble the male sexual organ, but most popular brands do not represent any part of the human body whatsoever. Women can use vibrators to stimulate their clitoris, vulva, vagina and anus. Men can use vibrators to stimulate their penis and anus. Couples use vibrators together to enhance the pleasure of sexual intimacy.
On the other hand, dildos are often phallic in shape, although some models provide women and men alternative designs, such as figurines or even miniature statues. Since dildos don't vibrate they are most often used for anal or vaginal penetration. However, some women enjoy massaging their clitoris with their dildo as well.
Why would I want to use a vibrator?
For Women
Vibrators are often quite helpful to women who can't reach orgasm during masturbation or sex. Many women require constant, prolonged clitoral stimulation in order to achieve an orgasm, and the vibrator can provide the required stimulation. The unwavering vibrations on the clitoris and surrounding areas send many women into orgasm much more quickly than a hand, tongue or penis and in addition, produce a more intense climax. The device, however, is not just for sexual pleasure; vibrators also have many other sexual health benefits. For those women who have decreased mobility due to accident or disability, vibrators can be a wonderful, soothing addition. Women who have sore genitals because of a pregnancy can use a vibrator to ease their pain. Finally, women may experience reduced sensitivity as they age and the vibrator can be just the device to create the stimulation they were used to in their earlier years. Vibrators are a simple, versatile sexual toy for women who want to explore new avenues of sexual satisfaction.
For Men
Unfortunately, men have often overlooked the benefits of a vibrator. Men typically do not experience the same difficulty achieving orgasm that women sometimes do, so vibrators are not needed or desired. Yet, many men enjoy the vibrating sensation on their genitals. The vibrators that are made for men include vibrating sleeves, vibrating penis rings and anal toys but some men have no trouble using traditional "women's" vibrators on themselves. Men who use vibrators often describe similar experiences as women.
For Couples
For couples, vibrators enhance even the healthiest sexual relationship. A vibrator can provide mutual pleasure when a woman presses it against her clitoris during intercourse as the vibrations can also be felt by her mate. Vibrators can also be used to enhance oral sex, by placing the vibrator on the genitals while oral stimulation is being performed. Show your partner how you use your vibrator when alone, so he or she can learn which techniques provide the most intense sensations.
What are some ways to enhance the use of my vibrator?
Vibrators can produce some of the most profound sexual pleasure around (aside from your partner, of course!) You're only limited by your imagination when you learn how to use it to its fullest.
The first thing to do with a vibrator is to experiment with it. Test out the speeds and intensities of the different levels of vibrations (for those that are equipped) and find out what feels good for you. A vibrator can be pleasurable while you are on your back and directly massaging the erogenous area; on your stomach while your vibrator is nestled into the bed; or any other variation you find exciting.
If the vibrations are too powerful and you find them to be numbing rather than pleasurable, turn the speed of the motor down. If you can't change the speed of your vibrator, you can dull the vibrations by wrapping the vibrator in a towel or even a small pillow. Conversely, if you find the sensations too soft, try adding gentle pressure with the vibrator against the body. You may still find this is not enough, in which case you may want to get a more powerful vibrator.
Once familiar with the sensations produced by your vibrator, experiment a little. Here are a few suggestions.
Experiment with different types of vibrators.
Try to prolong stimulation. Use the vibrator until just before climax, take it away, relax, and begin again. Keep trying this until you can't wait any longer, and enjoy your orgasm. Many people find this to be the most long-lasting and pleasurable way to use their vibrator.
Enhance stimulation by other means. Some women enjoy using a dildo in their vagina while the vibrator gently massages the clitoris. Using some lubrication on the end of the vibrator will allow it to slide around easier on the genitals, and enhances the feeling of the vibrations. Use it on all of your body. Try using the vibrator in different places, warming you up for your favorite spot. Many vibrators are powerful enough to use pleasurably on the back, face, legs and feet.
Men may be a little apprehensive about trying a vibrator for the first time because they may be asking, what do I do with this? A vibrator is perfect for stimulating all areas of the genitals. The head, shaft and base of the penis, as well as the testicles and anus can all be stimulated enjoyably. Some men find that the vibrator is great to massage the area underneath the scrotum as they give themselves manual stimulation. This can produce a fantastic orgasm.
