Vibrators

There is no wrong vibrator. There is no best sex toy or vibrator, because "best" ultimately varies from person to person. When buying sex toys for the first time, the best thing to do is identify your key needs first: discretion or shiny dildo? G-spot or clitoral stimulation? This way, you can make confident and informed choices about your sex life.

To help you do that, we've rounded up some of the most important factors to consider when buying your first vibrator...

Think about how you plan to use it.

Do you want to use it yourself? Do you want something that your partner can easily use? Or when we have sex on the plug-in? If this is your first vibrator, we recommend that you consider personal use first, as this is the easiest way to know what you like before venturing into cooperative vibrator games.

That said, there are many vibrators designed for personal use that translate well into sex, so you can get the best of both worlds. Opt for a smaller vibrator - one that is neither in the way nor too bulky - so that you or your partner can easily control the vibration pattern and intensity with simple keystrokes, hands-free operation, or squeeze control.

It feels good to choose your first toy based on what you already know.

To get the best vibrator for you and your unique response,consider what excites you in other situations.Find out which type your body feels best by guessing the right masturbation!Touch yourself and see what feels good, whether it's penetration or focusing on the clitoris (external stimulation), whether it's gentle touch or more pressure, whether it's low or slow or fast, direct or indirect touch.

From here, adult toys can choose to be inserted into your vagina or focused on the clitoris, or both. While it's common to want vaginal penetration (because it mimics intercourse), 70% of women eventually need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm, so if you're not entirely sure what will give you an orgasm, there's a good chance that a vibrator focused on clitoral stimulation will be the best place to start.

Another aspect of stimulation is buzzing and rumbling.The two terms may seem similar, but the sensory differences between them are actually important. It has less to do with the intensity of the vibration, more to do with the quality of the vibration itself. Low quality vibrators tend to buzz and sometimes the surface vibrates even to feel sharp or "fast". They may also make more recognizable sounds, like bees buzzing past or barbershops.

Understandably, people often prefer a rumbling atmosphere. They go deeper and combine more nerve endings, which has a huge impact on pleasure because most of the clitoris is in them. If the vibrator is used for vaginal penetration, then you may also like rumbling toys, as the vibration is more easily propagated throughout the toy shaft.

How important is the G-spot to your orgasm? When considering buying your first sex toy, it's important to decide on your priorities - clitoral or G-spot orgasms are your top choices? An external vibrator will give your clitoral orgasm, while an internal sex toy will draw more attention to your G-spot.

Think about "small" details (this can make a big difference).

Quantity level.

While the volume of a vibrator may not be that important to people with no roommates or thin walls, it's a safe bet that most of us wouldn't choose a loud vibrator. The good news is that most sex toy makers are starting to understand the equal importance of power and judgment, which means you don't have to ignore powerful shocks in order to keep a low profile.

The noise level of the vibrator is mainly related to the quality, position and speed of the motor. Larger/slower motors will generally be quieter and more bass like, while smaller/faster motors will have higher pitch and noise.

If you buy a vibrator online, it's obviously hard to know how loud it is, but a good rule of thumb is this: If the seller doesn't acknowledge the volume level at all, they're probably selling a big vibrator. Even if the mute of the vibrator is being used as a marketing point, you should still back up your claims by checking the comments of other customers and sex toy bloggers/vloggers to increase the vote of confidence.

Any vibrating material will eventually produce a certain amount of noise, but if the door is closed, the ambient sound is like a fan or a shower, and the manufacturer's vibrator engine is quieter, you can sincerely deliver your voice without being detected.

Charging.

Rechargeable vibrators are generally more environmentally friendly than vibrators that require a vibrator, and charging stations typically don't take up any more space than a phone or laptop charger. Also, a rechargeable vibrator is more likely to be truly waterproof (but you should still double-check the details before taking it to the shower).

When the battery is fully charged, you can remove the vibrator from the charging station to keep the battery in top condition for a long time. It's important to remember that once the built-in battery dies, so will the vibrator -- so you'll have to extend its life.

One of the obvious benefits of running a battery shaker is that you don't have to wait for it to charge. One thing to remember: When you're not using your vibrator, try to take the battery out. Alicia Sinclair, a certified sex educator, warns: "Batteries can be damaged, which can damage your sex toys. In addition, batteries lose energy faster, requiring more frequent purchases of replacement batteries if they are not replaced."

Appearance.

There are vibrators that look like a tube of lipstick, a rubber duck or a fashion necklace, and there are bold, ribbed vibrators that clearly look like penises. A growing number of options are somewhere in between. You will find it natural to draw you in just through your vision, but you should also consider the level of caution you are pursuing. Many of the new vibrators on the market look like beautiful massagers, which means you don't even need to hide them in the back of your sock drawer.

That said, remember that a nice vibrator doesn't necessarily mean a better orgasm, especially if it doesn't seem to fit your body. What does it feel like to hold it in your hand? How does the material feel on your skin? How does it fit into your clitoris or body?

Waterproof.

The shower is a perfect place to come down with a vibrator, especially since you're already naked and the sound of the water is a big sound barrier. Just make sure the vibrator you're considering is waterproof and tightly covers the screws of the battery-powered vibrator. When it comes to waterproof claims from any brand you don't believe, take the side of fear. The sex toy industry is not regulated, so technically any claim to be waterproof has no legal basis.

Also, as fun as it sounds, we strongly recommend against using a vibrator in a hot tub, as it is extremely hot. Still, there's nothing wrong with a regular tub!
