Vibrators can help you explore your sexuality in wonderfully creative ways.
During solo play or with a partner(s), as an accompaniment to sex or as the
main event, by themselves or in conjunction with other toys, the
possibilities seem endless. How does one choose a vibrator from what seems
like a limitless selection? Like the choice of a lover, the choice of a vibe
is personal — what leaves one person yawning might cause another to writhe
in ecstasy. Therefore you must understand your tastes. What do you enjoy
while masturbating? How do you like a partner to pleasure you? About what do
you fantasize? What kind of stimulation and fantasies are you experiencing
at the moment you have an orgasm? With this information in mind, read
through the following guide, whether you are a first-time buyer or you
already own a whole drawer full of vibes:
Where on your or your lover’s body will you use the vibrator?
Clitoris. A large percentage of women require clitoral stimulation in order
to cum. For years women have relied on the legendary
Hitachi Magic Wand for an almost unbearably exquisite sensation. The equally renowned
Eroscillator and the new
Synergy Pleasure System help women
stimulate their clits, and now feature new attachments that are even more
effective at targeting this prime pleasure zone.
Mini Massagers and
Bullet Style Vibes zero in perfectly on your bliss button. Or try
slipping a
Clit Flicker on your lover’s cock or dildo for that extra
thrill while you have sex.
Vagina. If you delight in the internal fullness and pressure of penetration,
play with our whimsical Fun Factory vibes, or try an
attachment on
the powerful Hitachi Magic Wand.
Clit/Vagina. For those who don’t want to choose between their two favorite
areas, the hugely popular dual action
Rabbit Vibrators provide
satisfying penetration with fluttering “ears” that will tickle your clit.
Anus. Enjoy a butt buzz from toys specifically designed for anal insertion
such as the
iPlug and our
vibrating butt plugs.
G-Spot. Our customers love the
G-Spotter for reaching this pleasure
powerhouse, or use attachments on the Hitachi Magic Wand, the Eroscillator,
or the Synergy Pleasure System.
All Over. For a waterproof and insertable toy with different attachments for
nipples, clit, penis, testicles, or G-spot, you can’t beat the popular
Eroscillator and the new Synergy Pleasure System.
Yours and Mine. Double the pleasure with the
Feeldoe, a vibrating
double dil. Typically, a woman inserts one end in her vagina while the other
end protrudes like a penis, allowing her to penetrate her partner’s favorite
orifice.
In what setting will you use it?
At Home. The classic plug-in massagers like the Hitachi Magic Wand
and Eroscillator will deliver strong vibes without losing power when you
need it most.
On The Go. Surprise your lover during your next road trip, as our
extensive line of classic battery-powered vibes gives you the freedom to
take the fun with you. For travel, Mini Massagers and Bullet Style Vibrators
slip easily into a purse or pocket. The Synergy Pleasure System travels
well, as it is cordless and rechargeable.
In The Shower. Many of our Mini Massagers and Fun Factory vibes can
be used in the bath, shower, or during any kind of watersports. The
versatile Eroscillator also stands up well to wet play. Remember to choose
something a bit more powerful than you need, as the strength of the vibe
will be diminished in water.
In Public. Don our
Remote Control Butterfly or
remote butt
plug and enjoy getting buzzed in public. Hand over the controls to a
partner before heading to a restaurant, and the other diners will never
guess the source of your ecstasy. Remote toys generally are quiet enough to
wear discreetly in a bar, movie, or restaurant, but you might be found out
if you played in an extremely quiet setting …like a wedding ceremony
(although being “outed” at a wedding might be interesting!) Keep in mind
that the sound is muffled by skin, clothing, and ambient noise, so they are
quieter during use than they seem to be “out of the box”.
With Discretion. At times you will want a vibe that doesn’t look like
a sex toy. Many of our Mini Massagers and Bullet Style Vibes look quite
innocent yet get the job done. The Hitachi Magic Wand has long masqueraded
as a deep muscle massager, and it certainly does soothe those aches! If
noise is an issue, the remote controlled vibes tend to be quietest because
they must allow for discretion during public use. Also, jelly vibrators are
quieter because the material muffles the sound a bit. Alternatively, you
might try covering up the buzz of your favorite vibe with music, or by
snuggling under a blanket while you play. Remember that any buzzing sound
will be amplified if you use the toy in water.
Do you enjoy strong or gentle sensation?
The strongest sensation can be had from the plug-in massagers; such as the
Hitachi Magic Wand. Most classic vibes draw their power from batteries,
which provide an intermediate level of stimulation. Typically, toys powered
by watch batteries give a gentle (but focused) feel.
What sort of material is right for you?
Silicone. The ultimate material for sex-toys, silicone is smooth,
non-porous, and retains body heat. It withstands aggressive play and will
last for years. Always use water-based (never silicone-based) lubes like
Astroglide
with silicone vibes and attachments. Silicone toys clean
up with soap and water and can be disinfected so they are safe for use with
multiple partners. It is the material of choice for those with latex
allergies.
Jelly. Like silicone, jelly feels smooth, pliable, and realistic.
Because jelly is soft and porous, we recommend that you use a condom over
your toy to extend its life. Also, jelly cannot be disinfected so a condom
will allow for multiple users. The material cleans easily with soap and
water.
Hard Materials Like Plastic and Acrylic. These silky smooth,
slippery, and non-porous toys stay slick for long periods with only a little
lube. Because this material has no “give”, a toy made from it may feel
larger than a similar sized toy made of silicone or jelly. Use condoms if
you plan to share these toys, and clean with soap and water.
How much do you want to spend?
We carry a full line of vibrators so there’s bound to be one that fits your
budget. For example, if you are looking for an inexpensive, entry-level
rabbit vibe to try out, consider the
Original Rabbit. If only the
best will do, then buy as you would a car, and stick with the superior
engineering of the German-made
Fun Factory vibes or the Japanese Vibratex products, such as the
Rabbit Pearl,
Rabbit Habit, and
Butterfly Vibrator. Another top quality rabbit is the silicone
Impulse Snow Bunny Crystal Rabbit, loaded with more features than a
high-end sports car.
What sort of look pleases you?
For some, the appearance of a vibrator matters a great deal. There are those
who prefer one that closely resembles a penis, others feel strongly that it
should look like anything but. A classic smooth, missile-like design has
endured over the years. Some people are drawn to a more high-tech look like
the futuristic iVibe collection from Doc Johnson. Some delight in
whimsical models like the Vibratex Butterfly or the
Impulse Gyrating Beaded
Dolphin. The playful, colorful designs of the Fun Factory vibes are a
favorite among many of our customers.
What do other people like?
The babes on Sex and the City rave about rabbit vibes. Our top sellers among
these dual-action dynamos are the Original Rabbit, the Rabbit Habit, and the
Rabbit Pearl. The Hitachi Magic Wand has remained a top seller for many
years. The diminutive Dr. Ruth Westheimer endorses the Eroscillator, and the
Oxygen Network’s Sue Johanson recommends the Synergy Pleasure System and the
Butterfly Vibrator by Vibratex. Still undecided? Ask your friends and lovers
what they enjoy. Maybe they’ll even try one out on you!
We hope this introduction to vibrators together with our thorough product
descriptions helps you choose a vibe that will give you great pleasure.
Remember that these products are called toys for a reason, so have fun and
play! We encourage you to experiment with different types to see what you
like. Ultimately, you may buy various toys — variety is the spice of life!
