How to Use a Vibrator: Tips From Sex and Wellness Experts
We’ve rounded up the best sex toys for couples, including remote control vibrators, anal toys, travel-friendly toys, and more toys that will make your next encounter extra-thrilling. Whether you use these sex toys for masturbation or partnered sex, the important thing is that you feel good and safe. “So much about women’s pleasure has to do with the context of what’s going on,” says Dr. Torrisi. “It’s important for women to feel safe with their partners and to reliably predict that a sexual encounter will be fun and pleasurable.” This genre of sex toy will always be GOATed to me, because the realistic design elements make them feel extra kinky and fun, especially if you’re bringing them into partner play (talk about a soft-launch threesome).
The minute I held it, I felt like a high-society madam about to engage in very refined debauchery. The vibes are deep, the shape is perfection, and it feels expensive. As you navigate through the labyrinth of rabbit vibrator sex toy options, you might find yourself overwhelmed by options. This vibrator is shaped just like a finger, so first-time users can rest assured that it will feel natural and easy to use.
It works via both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi , making it a good choice for both close and long-range play. You’ve heard that “moderation is key” and “there can be too much of a good thing,” right? However, we just wanted to make sure, because self-love is a thing, and vibrators can actually help women who are experiencing sexual dysfunction.
As a result, this is one of the few vibrating cock rings that can also bring some extra sauce to your solo endeavors. A ring’s vibrations can hit your partner’s clitoris or perineum—depending on what they’re working with, and how you’re working the angles. As an added effect, they’ll essentially turn your dick into a vibrator.
This vibrator has a forked tip and a powerful motor in each tip, which Hodder says guarantees intense vibration power and offers a unique way to stimulate the clitoris without having to make direct contact. “Simply position the clitoris between each tip and try pinching or squeezing them together, almost like a clit sandwich,” Hodder says (Jimmy Jane, $59). Rest assured there’s a good reason for their various curves and fork-like apparatus.
These controls are factory preset.True Bypass / Bi-colour LED indicatorViberator utilizes True Bypass switching system on both mono and stereo channel. Viberator also utilizes internal reverse power polarity protection circuitry. This innovative vibrator wraps around your shaft—whether hard or flaccid—for intense sensations that feel so much better than your hand. You can stroke it up and down if you want, or massage other pleasure points like the super-sensitive frenulum on the underside of the penis. It comes with a wrist watch-esque remote, which makes it feel like the kind of thing James Bond would jerk off with. “After a week of experimentation, I’m still finding new reasons to love it,” one Babeland reviewer wrote.
Other nice-to-haves include an intuitive button display, a travel lock, and a fully waterproof design (shower sex vibrators, anyone?). “If you’re looking for a versatile vibe that can be used on almost all body parts, the Tango X is the ideal option,” according to O’Reilly. It has seven vibration modes, eight intensity levels, and is super easy to use.
Add this little gem to your toy collection and let the good times roll. With 12 intense power and vibration settings, there’s sure to be a setting that gets you off. And if that’s not enough, the vibrator is also waterproof for shower play alone or with a partner. Some of the household sex toys we recommend here aren’t specifically designed for skin contact (think candles, vegetables, and ice).
“I really like the ones where the internal and external parts can be controlled separately,” sex writer and sex toy reviewer Amy Norton says. This sleek U-shaped vibrator is a game-changer for shared pleasure, according to our panel. The longer arm can be inserted into the vagina and used to stimulate both the G-spot and penis, while the outer arm vibrates against the clitoris. It has a motor at each end and nine increasingly powerful settings – from a gentle murmur to deep rumbling vibrations – for heightened pleasure during intercourse. The lightweight design and travel pouch make it a worthy companion for holidays, and it can be used in the bath or shower. The battery life (one hour) isn’t the longest, but this wouldn’t put our panel off using it time and time again.
Although we recommend this model as a starter vibrator, for some of our testers the hard plastic became slippery and difficult to hold when it came in contact with lubricant. This was not the case with the less expensive Satisfyer Purple Pleasure. While the Luna Ava vibrator is a steal at $30, don’t expect it to replace your Magic Wand anytime soon. We found its vibrations to be more buzzy than rumbly, and the 20 different settings are a nuisance given that there is no back-or-forth button—you have to click through all 20 to return to the one you started with. Waterproof toys made from nonporous materials such as silicone and stainless steel can tolerate washing with soap and warm water. If you have non-waterproof toys, carefully wipe them clean with a solution of soap and warm water.
