The lovely people at Simply Pleasure have helped put together this handy beginners guide on the different types of vibrator available. There's a wide range of choice and sometimes it takes a few tries to see whether you like one toy or another.
Many people, singles and couples, would like to take their bedroom activities up a notch and are interested in using sex toys. But with such a huge range out there how do you decide where to start?
One of the most common sex toys out there, and one that many people swear by, is the vibrator. A vibrator is an electronic device that produces vibrations to stimulate the nerves and tissues. These come in a huge range of shapes and sizes including the bullet, pocket vibrator, vibrating ring, external vibrator, smoothie, twice as nice, G spot and anal.
Many men have the preconception that vibrators are only used by single women, but this just isn’t true. In fact, married women are twice as likely to use a vibrator as single women. And this isn’t just frustrated wives getting their sexual kicks alone, 37% of women have used a vibrater during sex and 41% during foreplay. Many couples like to use toys to spice up their sex life. There are many sex toys that give pleasure to both men and women, for example a cock ring. Vibrators can be used during foreplay to stimulate sensitive nerve endings all over the body.
When introducing a vibrator into a relationship or trying one out for your own pleasure there are a few considerations for getting started. Rather than rushing blindly in and buying a complicated or huge vibrator, consider going for small and simple. Why not try some clitoral stimulation with a Bullet or Smoothie? These are small and discrete and can very easily be introduced into your normal routine. Smaller vibrators are great to help to remove any anxiety your male partner may have about being replaced by a sex toy and the age old debate of whether size matters.
If you are worried about introducing a vibrator into your relationship then take the time to talk to your partner and communicate why you are interested in using one. You can always give or request a sex toy gift for an extra special occasion such as Valentines Day or a birthday.
Some people will be turned off by seedy looking plastic sex toys with porno sounding names and cheap packaging. The sex industry has realised that sex toys are for everyone and that people want well-designed, beautiful and safe sex toys. There are now a huge range of vibrators available from high street stores and reputable online sites. Buying your first vibrator has never been so enjoyable!
Simply Pleasure - SP) This has been designed for direct stimulation of the clitoris, this vibe mostly comes shaped like a small egg but also in other shapes designed to focus on that hallowed area.
Sex Toy Sofa - STS) Our top tip is to go for a multi-speed clit vibe so you can choose from a range of speeds and motions available.
An example is the Finger Tip Massager Blue which was priced at £14.40 at the time of writing.
SP) These incredible phallic vibes heighten the potential for pleasurable experimentation and can be used in the vagina, anus and even the mouth. Coming in different sizes, there is definitely one to suit your preference.
STS) The more expensive vibrators tend to have a more realistic look and feel, with incredible detailing.
An example is the Vibro-Realistic Cock 8 Inch Flesh which was priced at £40.00 at the time of writing.
SP) Who can forget the iconic rampant rabbit? Not only does it have the awesome dildo shaped component, its distinctive "ears" stimulate the clitoris simultaneously, allowing for the ultimate oooh!
STS) This is a great all-rounder with clit stimulation and vaginal pleasure too. You can even get rabbit vibrators that thrust or ripple as well as those with unusual textures.
An example is the 16 Function Rabbit Super Vibe which was priced at £48.80 at the time of writing.
SP) Ever wondered why that colleague of yours always seems ecstatically happy, even on a Monday morning? She’ll be the blissed out owner of an Egg vibrator! This is one of the more discrete kinds and has the added excitement of being designed to fit entirely inside the vagina. Being no more than three inches long it is small but incredibly powerful, the Kylie Minogue of the vibrator world.
STS) Go for a remote control egg for added pleasure with your partner. They have the controller and you have the eggs. Sounds fair to us!
An example is the Remote Control Egg which was priced at £29.00 at the time of writing.
SP) If you like your excitement hands free, the Butterfly is the vibe for you. You can strap it around your legs and waist and keep your hands free for other pleasurable pursuits!
STS) This is great if your hands are required elsewhere, perhaps if you are pleasuring your partner or they are massaging you.
An example is the Venus Penis Butterfly Clit & Vagina Stim which was priced at £13.60 at the time of writing.
SP) Your happy colleague could also own one of these. Cunningly disguised as either lipsticks, mobile phones or other things, they are the ultimate red hot secret. They’re quiet but still retain the power of the more noisy varieties! These also come in a waterproof variety, allowing you to add some heat to your morning shower before work.
STS) These discreet vibrators are perfect for taking on holiday or if you live at home with your parents.
An example is the Octopussy which was priced at £11.20 at the time of writing.
SP) The rabbit too tame? Dual stimulation not quite hitting the spot? We’re getting excited just thinking about out not dual but TRIPLE area vibrators. These are specifically designed to stimulate the vagina, clitoris and anus at once and are the Rabbit’s closest relative in terms of purpose and design, but with added components for anal stimulation that’ll make you weak in the knees for weeks afterwards.
STS) As an extension to the rabbit vibrator you know how good these are going to be, especially with the added bonus of anal pleasure too!
An example is the Double Bunny which was priced at £19.99 at the time of writing.
We've also come up with a couple of other vibrators worth discussing:
STS) These have been designed to massage your G-Spot which can become very sensitive during pleasure. These are great for using with a powerful clitoral vibrator to give you powerful full body orgasms. This is by far my favourite way to orgasm as the intense feeling gained from vibrating my G-Spot combined with clitoral pleasure drives me wild.
An example is the Glitterous G-Spot which was priced at £12.80 at the time of writing.
STS) Most vibrators assume the bedroom is where all the fun happens but waterproof vibrators are great for taking in the bath or shower with you. The heat from the steamy water wogether with good powerful vibrations should lead to delicious orgasms where you feel cosy and satisfied at the same time. Definitely worthwile trying. Also, you can get vibrators with suction pads on them so you can affix it to the bath, shower wall, etc. which frees up a hand!
An example is the Jennas Velvet Jewels Waterproof Vibrator which was priced at £14.40 at the time of writing.
