Vibrators-
The Best
& The Rest
A
Look Into Why We Love Them With Recommendations
|
Vibrators
are the most popular sex toy around. The pulsating hum placed
against a sensitive body part such as a nipple, clitoris, penis,
or even that delicate anus can be riveting!
Did
you know women can achieve orgasms up to ten times faster by using
a vibrator on her most sensitive body part… the clit. It's true!
In addition, a woman who uses a vibrator before having sex is
more likely to have multiple orgasms from penetration. The vibration
from the vibrator increases blood flow and engorges the vaginal
walls and g-spot allowing for more intense pleasure and the likelihood
of breathtaking orgasms!

Men
also benefit as the vibrations can bring that erection to a glass
cutting hardness! A man's orgasm can be magnified greatly from
that level of stimulation created much the same way a woman's
juices get flowing.
Vibrators
are also great for people who experience lack of sex drive. This
is because vibrators stimulate blood flow and increase feelings
of pleasure in the sex organs in a manner that sends messages
to the brain saying "hey this feels awesome… I want more!"
|
The
variety and function capable of today's vibrators is astonishing. Low
cost and high powered vibrators are easily obtained from the privacy
of your own home and are a must have for the solo masturbation session
to the passionate exchange of pleasuring your lover.
Yet,
there are so many to choose from and finding the right one can feel
overwhelming. That is why you will find an easy to follow guide below
to help you take the guess work out of it and get you on your way to
the fun stuff!
What
To Watch Out For
There
are a lot of vibrators that are made as
a novelty and break easily so it is important to choose wisely, selecting
from a reputable store with high quality products like ours. The
most important thing when buying a vibrator online is knowing the SIZE.
Please refer to our measurements outlined by each of the products so
that you do not get something that is too big or small.
Determining
Size
Sometimes it is hard to gage what is the best size. I remember ordering
my first dildo online and then getting one that was supposed to be "realistic"
and ended up thinking that King Kong himself would be envious when I
saw how big it actually was!
 May
I suggest using a simple test of finger width or vegetable testing before
deciding on a width or length. Using your fingers or a vegetable like
a carrot or cucumber may help you decide what width and length to get.
You
should certainly wash anything you insert in any orifice of your body
prior and then take some time to determine what will bring you the most
pleasure. You can also have a partner assist in either exercise for
a fun sexual adventure!
Diameter
Vs. Circumference
Also,
remember the difference between circumference and diameter when assessing
how large your sex toy is going to be.
Power
& Functioning
How powerful
do you want your vibrator to be? Power can make all the difference
in the world. It affects the intensity of stimulation and can
mean the difference between reaching orgasm and not.
Some vibrators are more powerful than others. There are two
factors that will affect the power of a vibrator; how many volts
it uses and the motor and components. The volts can be determined
by how many batteries are required or if it is electric or rechargeable,
you can assume that it is 120 volt (for a plug made for US outlets).
Some products are made to be more durable than others. Typically,
the better quality materials a product is made from the better
the components and motor will be.
While
some companies charge a lot of money for products regardless of quality,
you can easily determine what are the higher quality products on our
website. You can choose a high quality product by the price and through
our sex toy materials guide
that outlines why the materials of the products we offer are better
than others. The old adage of you get what you pay for is true on our
web sites.
When
considering the power of vibrators, it is important to recognize that
battery operated vibrators are less powerful than electric vibrators
that plug in. Also, rotating vibrators are sensitive to too much pressure
on them that can keep them from working properly.
If
you have a rotating vibrator like many of the dual
action vibrators you may notice that if you clench or grip the rotating
shaft too hard it may stop working. These types of toys are intended
for rotating inside when someone is relaxed and while they can withstand
some pressure, they are not intended to be used under a great deal of
pressure. If you clench your Kegel muscles around them, you may notice
that they slow or stop. If you prefer a rotating sex toy that can withstand
a lot of pressure, then you will need to invest in something like a
sex machine such as the Sybian,
However, most people find these sex toys suit their needs perfectly
and understand their limitations. Normal pressure on them does not impair
their intended functioning and they do provide wonderful stimulation.
How
Your Vibrator Is Powered
Do you prefer something
that requires batteries, is rechargeable or plugs in? There are pros
and cons to each-
Battery Pros & Cons
A sex toy that requires batteries affords the user to operate without
cords and provides a larger variety of sex toys to choose from as most
require batteries. These can be costly if not using rechargeable batteries
by having to keep replacing them. These can be bad for recycling purposes
if you use non-recyclable batteries and therefore bad for the environment.
We recommend getting rechargeable batteries to counter the cons if you
get a battery operated sex toy.
Rechargeable
Pros & Cons
Rechargeable sex toys do not require batteries and are therefore,
better for the environment and less expensive to maintain. Depending
on the quality of the toy, they may not hold the charge for
long. These may also require long charging periods and may not
work unless fully charged; making it important to plan on having
it charged before your next use. Some rechargeables may not
allow you to use it while it is charging.
Plug
In Pros & Cons
Electric sex toys are often some of the most powerful vibrators
and offer a deep vibration that others cannot compare to. You
do not have to worry about costly batteries, the effect of batteries
on the environment or planning to make sure your toy is charged.
These can limit how far you can move around (we recommend getting
an extension cord). The cord may get tangled or get in the way
during wild sexual adventures. These also cannot ever get wet
as they may create the risk of electrical shock. We recommend
wiping down with a moist wash cloth when it is unplugged that
has been sprayed with sex toy
cleaner.
Battery
Tip
Vibrators
that use batteries often suggest taking the batteries out in between
use… this is a good tip as it helps prolong the life of the vibrator
and prevents the batteries from leaking causing damage to your vibrator.
What
Pleasures You?
There
is nothing quite like the humming of a vibrator between your legs… but
there are some questions you may want to ask yourself before choosing
one. Do you want one that allows you to be hands free, vary the speed
and intensity, with or without a remote control, small or large, and/or
have one attach to a partner to pleasure you? Below you will find a
review of some of the basic features of vibrators that will help you
better answer these questions and get you on your way to experiencing
erotic vibrations!
|
G-Spot
& Prostate Vibrators
G-spot
vibrators are not only great for g-spot stimulation but for prostate
stimulation as well. Curved vibrators designed for internal penetration
that targets and stimulates a woman's g-spot or man's prostate.
They
are usually long and slim with a curved tip and make access to
the g-spot and prostate easy. Many know that finger play can get
tiring and these vibrating stimulators are pleasurable for a partner
or solo experience. This is a basic sex toy that everyone should
have!
|
|
|
Clitoral
Vibrators
Any
woman who has tried a vibrator on her clit will tell you that
it is heaven. Some women favor stimulation to one side, while
others like direct contact. Many vibrators can stimulate the clit,
yet we have toys especially for explosive clitoral orgasms!
Nonetheless,
it is a sure winner in the pleasure department.
Also, as previously mentioned, it brings a women to climax much
more quickly and allows her g-spot and vaginal walls to become
more sensitive when used prior to penetration from her lover or
a toy. Of course you can always combine your pleasure by getting
vibrators that multitask… like the dildo/clit stimulator vibrator
for more intensity.

One
of the more popular clitoral vibrators is the bullet,
which is usually 2-4 inches in length. These egg-shaped wonders can
ignite the clitoris, labia, anus, nipples and head of a penis like a
charm. Other lucky body parts can also benefit from these little hummers.
Most often these
pleasure eggs are attached to a multiple speed battery pack connected
by a long cord. One of my first vibrators, I can attest that these will
bring hours of fun. Other types are the strap-on vibrators (Venus
Bumble Bee, Penis Petal)
that come with elastic straps to hold it over the clitoris for a hands-free,
more mobile stimulation or come attached to a vibrating and/or rotating
dildo.
Penis
Vibrators (Cock Rings &
Masturbation Sleeves)
These
can take the form of a ring that encircles the base of a male's penis
allowing him to experience vibrating ecstasy. Others
like this have an additional attachment that allows a male to stimulate
his female partner's clit with a vibrator as well. There are also vibrating
pussy sleeves, ball holders and for the adventurous male who knows how
good prostate stimulation feels there are the vibrating dildos and slim
models. All in all a lot to choose from for the man who wants it all.
|
Anal
Vibrators
A
lot more people enjoy anal play than you may think. While anal
play is still something that some people may be wary about, many
are enjoying this pleasure zone and loving every minute of it.
If
you are one already enjoying it, than you will agree when I say
that the stimulation of a vibrator on your anus is fabulous.
|
|
If you haven't
yet tried anal play, but are curious about what it feels like, you might
consider trying an anal toy like a vibrator. It's a good way to find
out if you like anal stimulation, without having to worry about being
embarrassed. For simple "rim" stimulation a bullet or slim vibrator
is simply heaven. For penetration, a Cyberskin,
or g-spot vibrator is a
great way to go.
|
Nipple
Vibrators
These
are vibrating clamps that squeeze and stimulate the nipples. Some
have adjustable settings so the pressure can be customized or
varied as well as the speed of the vibrations.
Nipple
clamps can also be used on other areas of the body, such as the
labia lips, ball sack, ear lobes... well you get the idea. It's
a good idea to test the clamps on the skin of the inner wrist
or the webbing between the thumb and forefinger, to get an accurate
"reading" of the level of intensity. If it's bearable and tolerable
within that threshold of pain/pleasure, they should be fine for
the nipples or labia or balls!

Controls
Basic
"On-Off" Controller
This
is one of the most basic of controls on a vibrator and is simply an
"on-off" control found on the base or hand control of a vibrator. While
this simplicity allows a user to not have to think about anything more
than turning their vibrator on, it may not be the ideal choice for someone
who wants to adjust the speed to find just the right stimulation for
them or to vary the intensity during use.
Multiple
Speed Controller
This
type of vibrator (such as the Berry
Delight) allows you to adjust the level of speed to adjust the intensity.
Some people prefer the more subtle vibrations while others want pure
power to get them going, thus having the ability to customize the level
of intensity is a nice feature. Another advantage is being able to start
out slow and advance into more intense stimulation as you or your partner
become more aroused.
Multiple
Function Controllers
There
are many types of vibrators and some have multiple features. For example
you might find something like our dual
action vibes that acts as a rotating dildo with a jelly lined vibrator
curved to stimulate the clitoris. Most people multi-task in their work
all day… why not do it when you are ready to have some fun too!
Hand
Controller
The
hand-held control connects to the vibrator by a wire which allows one
to adjust the speed without moving the vibrator away from the sweet
spot that is being happily stimulated. These are very common on "bullet"
vibrators and many people like them because they are small and discreet
and do not require an outlet to play! The one main drawback to the handheld
is that it is not recommended for water use and the cord can sometimes
get in the way when a partner is involved.

Remote
Control
The
remote control vibrator
is great for partner play as well as solo. Imagine you have your
sweetie on a wireless remote totally at your command to experience
pleasure and increase it at the right moment while you move around
the room. Whether you are stimulating the clitoris, anus or other
lucky body part… this is a wild ride in the technologically advanced
world of vibrators.

Remote control sex toys to delight from a distance! From
vibrators, dildos to panties with their own vibes inside!

Electric
Plug-In Fun
This
is a personal favorite because like many women, I love a deep
wet orgasm brought on by the more intense vibrations that these
plug-in versions give. Batteries can not make up for the power
that an electrical outlet can bring you. You can find a few varieties…
some require being plugged in at all times, while other's just
need to charge. The larger versions also double as a whole body
massager and are especially nice on the back and shoulders.

The
Buzzzzz On Noise
A drawback
to using a vibrator discreetly is that they hum and sometimes loudly!
Usually this is not a dilemma, but if you have a roommate or kids you
may feel a bit self conscious about using it. There are vibrators that
are quieter than others, and doing things like having music on or using
them under the sheets does help drown out the noise. Bottom line, all
vibrators make a certain amount of noise but a good rule of thumb is
that a plastic vibrator will tend to be noticeably louder noise than
a latex or Cyberskin covered vibrator.
There
are a few vibrators that are so quiet that we could not even tell they
where on! Here is a list of our most quiet-
Examples
Of Vibrator Types
|
Vibrating
& Ben Wa Balls
Based
on a 1,000 year old Asian sex toy (Ben Wa Balls), are usually
a pair of hollow balls and have something inside that rolls around
inside them, creating vibration and stimulation to the g-spot
or prostate. However,
they are now available with vibrating motors in them for an even
more intense stimulation.
Women
have also used them to strengthen their vaginal muscles (primarily
the Kegel muscle, which enhances a woman's pleasure for stronger
contractions during an orgasm and man's pleasure when his penis
is gripped harder during sex.

Vibrating
Bullets
Usually
2-4 inches these egg-shaped wonders can ignite the clitoris, labia,
anus, nipples and head of a penis like a charm. Other
lucky body parts can also benefit from these little hummers. Most
often these charmers are attached to a multiple speed battery
pack connected by a long cord. One of my first vibrators; I can
attest that these will bring hours of fun.

Cyberskin
If
you have not felt CyberSkin you are in for a real treat. When
you combine this amazingly life like material with a vibrator…
baby, you've got to make sure to schedule some recovery time from
the pleasure it will bring you!
The
first time I felt CyberSkin it was in the form of a sleeve over
a slim vibrator. I could not believe it… I literally had goose
bumps. I almost felt naughty touching what felt like a real erect
penis. I also took the time to feel a CyberSkin
pussy and it too gave me shivers of sexual delight!
|
|
CyberSkin
comes in all kinds of forms… various body parts (breasts, vagina, penis,
and anus) to accessories on vibrators, dildos and more. If you are looking
for something that will feel like the real thing with an added bonus
of it vibrating look no further you have found the toy of your dreams!
|
Erection
Enhancers
Vibrating
cock rings are unique sex toys in the sense that they essentially
act as blood flow "restrictors". They
are worn at the base of the penis and are designed to heighten
and prolong an erection, as well as intensify orgasms. Great for
partners as it engorges the cock making it harder and bigger.
|
|
|
Finger
Vibrators
These
are newer to the vibrator family. They usually come in the form
of a glove and fit on two to three fingers allowing the vibration
to come through the padding on your fingers as you manually stimulate.
Those
that have tired it for all over body stimulation including the
traditional sweet spots of the clitoris, anus, nipples, etc. have
given it rave reviews.
|
|
|
Traditional
Straight
or curved, these can act as a g-spot and prostate stimulator as
well as a dildo when a sleeve is added. These usually have a twist
control at the base and offer a vibrating shaft for a variety
of pleasure points on the body.
|
|
|
Strap-ons
Strap-on
vibrators vary. Some come in the form of a clitoral vibrator with
elastic straps to hold it over the clitoris for a hands-free,
more mobile stimulation, while others are vibrating dildos, or
cock rings. Strap-Ons
are great for allowing one to be spontaneous in their movement
while getting and/or giving pleasure to their lover.

Waterproof
Vibrators
These
vibrators are not only portable and versatile they can be used
in the bath, hot tub, pool, ocean… well you get the picture, they
can get wet! Covered with waterproof material these vibrators
make ripples of fun.
|
|
|
Sex
Toy Machines
Men
& Women can experience intense and multiple orgasms easily.
Whether
your partner likes to watch, is out of town, is tired, or you
simply do not have one at the moment, these dildo & vibrator
machines go from gentle to intense, as they allow one to determine
their orgasmic potential. Multiple orgasms are easily experienced
as they allow for controlled levels of stimulation using realistic
attachments that match their partner while providing endurance
and vibration that a partner cannot provide.

Quick
Tips -
Always
make sure you have secured the batteries tightly inside to reduce the
risk of water leaking in from a loose cover. For a lubricant, use a
silicone based one as water based lubricants will just dissolve in water.
Must
Have Accessories
After
you have selected one or more vibrators that are ideal for your needs,
you will want to make sure you have the right accessories-
Batteries
-
There
is nothing quite as disappointing as getting all worked up only to discover
you don't have batteries for your sex toy. Make sure to have not only
what you need to operate your toy but a stock supply to keep you happy
and carefree.
|
Lubricant
-
Even
if you are already lubricated from your body's own juices a vibrator
will actually feel more intense when it is lubricated with a water
or silicone based lube. Also see our lubricant reviews.

Toy
Cleaner -
Buying
a cleaner just for your sex toys is a good idea because these
specially designed disinfectants will clean your toys while preventing
damage to the type of plastic, gel, or other sensitive materials
of which your toys are made. Also
killing bacteria and viruses can prevent infection and the spread
of STDs while keeping your toys fresh and smelling good.
