How to choose the best vibrator?

If you have decided to buy a vibrator, but can’t choose one because there are so many models and types available, then you are in the right place. Choosing a vibrator, especially, if you are just starting to get acquainted with this type of intimate toy, is time consuming if you do not know about their features. In this article you will find all the necessary information to choose the best vibrator for yourself or as a gift for someone else.

Types of vibrators

The first step is to determine the type of vibrator you are looking for. It can be a female vibrator, a gay vibrator () or a vibrator for a couple. If you have already decided, then a somewhat more complicated task lies ahead - to choose which erogenous zone to focus on, and then look for models of vibrators that fit your goal

Vaginal vibrators
Vibrating massagers for the G spot
Vacuum clitoris vibrators
Anal vibrators

Some vibrators are able to stimulate several erogenous zones at once, for example, the famous vibrating "bunny", but let's talk about them a little bit later.

Types

Classical vibrator (anatomically correct)
If you are choosing your first vibrator, you can safely stop at this type. They look like male genitalia and do not differ in form or function. However, if you have underestimated your sensitivity, then it is better to give preference to other models, for example, a vibrating massager (learn more about them below).

Vibrating massagers
These models gained their popularity from one famous episode of "Sex and the City". Initially, these devices were intended as massagers for the neck and back, but witty women found another use for them. This is a cheap alternative to vibrators but keep in mind that it is not suitable for internal stimulation. Of course, they will still provide pleasant sensations.

The “bunny” vibrators
These vibrators have two functions. One stimulates the clitoris, and the other the G-spot. Their vibration strength can be adjusted. Some models of the "bunny" also have a vacuum functionality. When choosing your device, consider whether you need this kind of function.

Couple vibrators
Devices of this type are designed in such a way that both sides of them can be used at the same time. Of course, they can also be used to stimulate yourself both vaginally and anally at the same time.

Mini vibrators
These little sex toys are used to stimulate the clitoris. They often have a strange shape, for example, in the form of lipstick or ice cream, but they can be simpler. Mini vibrator categories: 1. finger vibrators (put on the finger)

Vibrating eggs (named so because of their shape)
Vibrating bullets
Vibrating rings (put on the penis)

Vacuum clitoris vibrators
These devices are designed to externally stimulate the clitoris. The effect is very fast and gives an unforgettable orgasm. Instead of the usual vibration, they create the effect of "suction" without touching the clitoris.

Tripod vibrators
These are the most modern models, as they have three branches for stimulating the clitoris.

Anal stimulators
Another way to enjoy new sensations is to buy an anal vibrator instead of a butt plug. These vibrators are suitable for both women and men, as they stimulate another erogenous zone and give incredible orgasms. For men, in turn, we recommend prostate massagers, who will give not only pleasant sensations, but also improve their health.

Materials

To understand what kind of vibrator to choose, you need to understand a little about the materials they are made of. Maybe you or your partner are allergic to some material (for example, latex)? In such cases, this decision must be taken very seriously. Therefore, in order to choose the right vibrator, decide in advance what exactly is more important to you: appearance, feel or ease of care? This will help in deciding what kind of vibrator to choose. In the meantime, let's look at the most popular materials.

Medicinal silicone
The most universal vibrators are created from silicone. They are not difficult to maintain and clean, and are also pleasant to the touch. They can also, safely, be used in the bath or shower.

Plastic
On the surface, they are very beautiful and easy to care for, but the feeling when touched is not as pleasant as with a silicone vibrator. In general, these vibrators are economical and can be used with any type of lubricant.

Synthetic leather
This material is very similar to real human skin. Maintaining and cleaning vibrators made from this kind of material is not so simple though: this is a porous material that quickly absorbs odors and is afraid of water. Therefore, it is advisable to use these vibrators with a condom and, when placed in storage, sprinkle with baby powder so that the artificial skin remains velvety and pleasant.

Latex/Gel
These vibrators are often distinguishable by their bright colors. They are flexible and at the same time very durable. But remember that if you have a latex allergy, it is better to choose another material. Latex vibrators should not be disinfected with alcohol and should be stored in a special package.

The size

Depends on your personal preferences, but remember that bigger doesn't always mean better. If you want an internal use vibrator, then do not choose those that are longer than 17cm. The diameter will depend on the anatomical dimensions of your body. Of course, if you are looking for a clitoral stimulating vibrator, then the length and diameter does not matter at all. If you plan to use the vibrator with a partner, then it is better to take a smaller sized one which will be comfortable for both of you. Of course, if you want a big vibrator, then go ahead, just don’t overdo it.

Functions and operating modes

Many modern models of vibrators have additional functions, such as various vibration modes, lighting, temperature settings, etc. The rotary function is especially fun, as it simulates the same movements as during sex. The vibration modes built into the sex toy can be automatic (they switch speed, intensity, pace themselves) or you can set them manually. It is better to choose devices for which at least 5 modes are available, so you can experiment. If we are talking about the intensity of vibrations, then not all vibrators have a strong enough motor, so if you have a low level of sensitivity, it is best to choose models of well-known brands and, together with a consultant from an intimate goods store, check what the strength of the vibrator is.

Power supply types

It is recommended to purchase vibrators with a rechargeable battery. They are more expensive than battery-powered models, but they have a number of advantages. Usually, wireless vibrators are waterproof + they charge pretty quickly. Although battery-powered vibrators can discharge at the most inopportune moment (and there will be no backup batteries at home), they are still cheaper.

Recommended manufacturers

As in any field, the field of intimate goods has its own famous brands, whose toys (and not only) are especially popular and respected among fans of sex toys. The most famous and proven brands that we recommend:
