If you are a newbie to the world of sex toys, we hope these questions will help you shop easier when choosing a vibrator for yourself.
Whether you’re looking to get your first vibrator to enhance solo play or you want to bring something new to partner play, a vibrator is a good place to start when building a sex toy collection. A clitoral vibrator that has different speeds is a good one to try first as most people need this stimulation to orgasm.
First up, power it up. Whether it's batteries or charging, make sure your vibrator is fully powered up before your first session. Get in the mood for ‘you’ time. Whether it’s dimming the lights in your bedroom, bathroom, or whatever room you are in, or playing music, these things all create a nice space to use your vibrator as they will help set the scene for excitement. Always take your time when using it for the first time. Choose a low speed to start with to get used to how it feels on your skin, the same goes for the pulsation patterns. Build up by upping the speed level one at a time. Sometimes the intensity can be a little too much the first time around so fabric or your underwear between you and the vibrator can help ease this.
Yes, using a lubricant can make the experience more pleasurable. Always use a water-based lube with silicone vibrators.
A vibrator’s noise levels have to do with the quality, placement, and speed of its motor. A bigger/slower motor will generally be quieter and more bass-like, while a smaller/faster motor will be higher pitched and noisier. Any vibrating materials will ultimately make some noise, but with doors closed, ambient sounds, and manufacturers building vibrators with quieter motors, the sound will go undetected.
Vibrators are for sex. So yes, solo, or partnered they are used to enhance sexual pleasure. Using them with your partner can break the routine, keep things playful, helps you create a connection, and learn more about yourself and them. And vibrators can stimulate more than just sexual organs. Any part of our body can become an erogenous zone and stimulating these spots can feel good for both of you. The best ones to go for couples are a tongue vibrator, a clitoris stimulator, or a vulval-shaped vibrator.
No not at all. It’s not supposed to be painful! If you experience discomfort, stop and make adjustments. Add more lube, and switch positions or penetration angles. And maybe, get a different kind of vibrator that works for you.
Vibrators are either waterproof or water-resistant. Once you’re done playing with your vibrator, always make sure to clean it. You can do it either with a sex toy cleaner or with some warm water and anti-bacterial soap. Make sure to dry it properly with a soft towel as you don’t want any nasty mildew to accumulate.
When storing, remove the batteries as this helps to prolong their life and makes it easier to clean. Lots of sex toys come with a pouch that helps to prevent dust and damage. It's best to avoid direct sunlight, and excessive heat which can negatively affect the material of your sex toy, so keep it in a cool, dry, and dark place.
