How to Choose the Right Vibrator for You (Even If You’ve Never Owned One)
Finding Your First Vibrator
Buying your first vibrator can feel intimidating – the choice is endless, the terminology confusing. The good news? There’s no wrong place to start.
All you need to know is what kind of stimulation you enjoy.
Step 1: Know What Feels Good
- Clitoral stimulation: Most people with vulvas find direct or indirect clitoral vibration the easiest route to orgasm.
- Internal stimulation: G-spot vibrators curve to press on internal pleasure points.
- Dual stimulation: Rabbit vibrators combine both.
- External relaxation: Wand vibrators are great for full-body use and muscle tension relief.
Step 2: Understand the Main Types
Bullet Vibrators – Small, discreet, and perfect for beginners. Great for focused external pleasure and easy to travel with.
Try a Bullet Vibrator.
Rabbit Vibrators – Provide simultaneous clitoral and G-spot stimulation. A bit more advanced, but a classic for a reason.
Wand Vibrators – Broad, powerful vibrations ideal for deep stimulation or massage. Perfect for solo or couples’ play.
Air-Pulse or Suction Toys – Use gentle air waves instead of vibration for a more gradual, suction-like sensation.
Step 3: Consider the Practicalities
- Noise: If privacy matters, choose whisper-quiet bullets or air-pulse models.
- Battery vs Rechargeable: Rechargeable is cost-effective and eco-friendly.
- Size: Small doesn’t mean weak – it’s about control and comfort.
- Budget: A good beginner vibrator can start from £20–£40.
Step 4: Accessories That Make It Better
- Always use water-based lube for smoother sensation.
- Store separately in a soft pouch to protect the surface.
- Clean after every use with toy cleaner or mild soap and water.
Step 5: Start Slow
The first time isn’t about fireworks – it’s about curiosity. Try different speeds, patterns, and pressure. Explore, pause, breathe.
When you find what you like, note it down – that’s your new pleasure language.
