How To Use A Vibrator
If you're new to using a vibrator and feel unsure about where to begin, fear not - we're here to help. Our guide is designed to cater to your specific preferences for stimulation, whether it be internal, external, or both. Within each category, we've also included information on the most commonly encountered types of vibrators. While many bullet vibrators share a similar design and function, there are also some innovative variations within each category to explore.
Internal & External Stimulation: What Are the Differences?
Yes, of course! Internal stimulation involves using a vibrator or other sex toy inside the vagina or anus to directly stimulate the sensitive nerve endings and erogenous zones located within. This can result in intense sensations and potentially lead to orgasm.
On the other hand, external stimulation involves using a vibrator or other sex toy on the external areas of the body, such as the clitoris, vulva, or penis. This can also result in intense sensations and lead to orgasm, as these areas are highly sensitive and responsive to touch.
It's worth noting that some people enjoy a combination of both internal and external stimulation for a more intense and varied sexual experience. Ultimately, the choice of whether to focus on internal, external, or both types of stimulation depend on individual preferences and comfort levels.
EXTERNAL USE VIBRATORS
Bullet Vibrators
The Basics
Bullet vibrators are small devices designed to be held between your fingers, much like a pen.
How To Use a Bullet Vibrator
While the most obvious way to use a bullet vibrator is to apply it directly to your clitoris, there are other ways to explore its pinpointed vibrations. For instance, you might enjoy indirect clitoral stimulation by using the vibrator on your clitoral hood. It's also possible that your clitoris is more sensitive on one side than the other, so you could experiment with drawing circles or figure eights around it, or using the flat side of the bullet on your vulva.
What to Look For
When choosing a bullet vibrator, look for one with a silicone grip that fits comfortably in your hand, as they can be slippery and difficult to hold. You should also pay attention to the shape and materials of the device's tip. Consider the powerful Chroma Petite Multicolour Bullet and its rumbly vibrations for an intense pleasure experience. It fits perfectly against the body for precise targeted stimulation. Best part of all, it’s fully waterproof for bath and shower fun.
Air Pulse Clitoral Vibrators
The Basics
Air pulse vibrators create a sucking sensation by using pulses of air to make an airtight seal over the clitoris. They're known for delivering mind-blowing oral sex-like sensations and can often produce orgasms in just a few minutes.
How To Use an Air Pulse Vibrator
To use a pulsing vibrator, turn it on and place its mouth over your clitoris. Adjust the angle of the device until you find the position where it best seals to your body. If you're having trouble getting a seal, try applying a small amount of water-based lube. Once you've found the right position, let the vibrator do the work and pay attention to the movements, positions, and rhythms that feel the most pleasurable. These toys are often quite powerful even at their lowest setting, so if the sensations feel too intense, you may want to use the toy over your underwear or hold it just above your clitoris without making direct contact with your skin.
What to Look For
When choosing an air pulse vibrator, consider the size of its mouth opening. A narrower mouth vibe such as the Revel Starlet Air Pulse vibe typically delivers more intense suction; while a wider mouth, such as on the Satisfyer Pro 2 Clitoral Stimulator offers a softer, more sensual sensation.
Massager Wand Vibrators
The Basics
Massager wand vibrators are vibrators are renowned for their extremely powerful vibrations and are often used for intense clitoral stimulation.
How To Use a Massage Wand Vibrator
Using a wand vibrator is simple: Hold the device by its long handle and press the ball end against your vulva for direct clitoral stimulation. If the vibrations feel too strong, try placing the ball of the device elsewhere on your vulva or pressing it against your labia for a more indirect sensation. The long handle of a wand vibrator also makes it an excellent tool for partnered sex, particularly for positions such as doggy style or spooning where your partner is behind you.
What To Look For
While some wand vibrators still require a direct plug into the wall, the latest technology has made wireless options more readily available. Devices like our Sugar Pop Bliss Massager Wand which offers a visually breathtaking design and powerful vibrations. If you’re wanting some dual action we recommend the Revel Fae Thrusting Air Pulse Wand, its handle provides 10 powerful thrusting modes, while its dual-purpose head provides 10 vibrating and 10 air pulse modes. This all-in-one wand is perfect for elevating any intimate session.
INTERNAL USE VIBRATORS
G-Spot Vibrators
The Basics
G-spot vibrators are specifically designed with a curved shape to stimulate the G-spot, which is located on the front vaginal wall.
How To Use a G-Spot Vibrator
When using a G-spot vibrator, it's best to take your time and explore your body. Begin by inserting the curved end of the toy into your vagina and experimenting with different angles and positions to locate the pleasurable areas along the vaginal walls. The G-spot is typically found around one to three inches in, on the front vaginal wall towards your belly. Once you've located it, try gentle pushing motions towards your belly, and experiment with rocking motions instead of just thrusting. You can also use the head of a G-spot vibrator for clitoral stimulation.
To Dispel a Myth
Contrary to popular belief, the G-spot is not a distinct part of our anatomy, but rather a term used to describe the part of the vagina that is in contact with the internal network of the clitoris and sensitive erectile tissue around the urethra.
What To Look For
When choosing a G-spot vibrator, look for one that is comfortable to hold, generously curved, and easy to angle as you move it. Some popular options include our Satisfyer Heated Thrill G-Spot Vibe and the Temptasia Lazarus Thrusting Dildo. The Heated Thrill is a self-heating vibrator, which heats to just above body temperature to help relax your muscles, along with its deep vibrations and precise stimulation of the g-spot you’re guaranteed a toe-curling intense orgasm.
How could you not fall in love with Temptasia Lazarus Dildo with its powerful smart-thrust tuned speeds, ergonomic handle; designed for both g-spot and p-spot stimulation.
FOR DUAL STIMULATION
Rabbit Vibrators
The Basics
A rabbit vibrator is a type of sex toy designed to provide simultaneous internal and external stimulation. It typically consists of a shaft for vaginal penetration and a smaller extension, often shaped like rabbit ears, for clitoral stimulation. The rabbit vibrator is a popular choice among women and couples for its ability to deliver intense pleasure and multiple sensations at once.
How To Use a Rabbit Vibrator
The longer arm of a rabbit vibrator is typically curved, similar to a G-spot vibrator, allowing users to apply techniques like thrusting, rocking, or grinding against the device to stimulate the G-spot after insertion into the vagina. However, keeping the shorter arm of the device on the clitoris while moving it can be challenging. One effective solution is to hold the short arm down with a finger while rocking the device back and forth by its handle. If the short arm is flexible, users can control each arm independently with both hands or hold the entire device by the shorter arm alone.
What To Look For
Look for rabbit vibrators from reputable brands that offer high-quality such as The Ringer Rabbit Vibrator by Evolved Novelties. This is a dual vibe that features a double-ring design in the main shaft. Powerful thrusts of up to half an inch are deliciously enhanced by two rings that move up and down in 3 glorious speeds for an exquisite internal massage. Other fantastically innovation rabbit vibrators you just have to try are the Lick Me Triple Stimulator, Adam & Eve Shimmy & Shake Velvet Rabbit, and the Obsessions Bonnie Rabbit.
Air-Pulsation Dual-Stimulator Vibrators
The Basics
This sex toy is a fusion of a rabbit vibrator and a suction vibrator. It features an external stimulation head that generates a suction-like feeling, along with an internal arm that applies pressure to the G-spot.
How To Use a Dual Stimulation Vibrator
To use this toy, begin by inserting its long arm into the vagina. Next, use lubrication and place the device's mouth around the clitoris to create a seal, treating it like any other air-pulsing vibrator. Afterward, apply gentle movements to start the internal arm's motion without disrupting the seal. As everyone's body is unique, you'll need to experiment with different types of movements to find what works best for you. You might even discover that you don't need to move the device much or at all to achieve orgasm.
What To Look For
Look for a flexible shaft for g-spot stimulation customised to fit to your body such as the Lush Isabelle Vibrator with Air Pulse. Enjoy a memory function that remembers your previously used setting along with a satiny-smooth texture to indulge in the ultimate pleasure.
FOR PENIS & PERINEUM STIMULATION
Penis Rings
The Basics
Designed for those with a penis and their partners, vibrating cock rings wrap around the shaft of the penis (or can be looped around the testicles as well). Even the ones that vibrate at a low intensity can have a significant effect.
How To Use a Penis Ring
When activated, vibrations from these devices spread throughout the entire ring, stimulating the penis, testicles, and, depending on the model, the sensitive perineum area. Cock rings can enhance partnered sexual experiences, as they can be positioned downward to apply pressure and vibrations with every thrust, or upward to stimulate the clitoris of a receiving partner during close body contact. Grinding and rocking movements feel especially pleasurable, according to Fine.
What To Look For
The most crucial factor when selecting a penis ring is ensuring that it fits properly. It should be snug enough to stay in place during intercourse but not so tight that it feels uncomfortable. Once you've found the right fit, choose a ring based on the type of sensation you desire. Renegade Emperor Vibrating Cock & Ball Ring gives strong vibrations surrounding the base of the cock while amping up stimulation for your partner.
