How to Use a Vibrator: Tips From Sex and Wellness Experts

The design is sleek, but the head doesn’t protrude like on other toys—it’s sunken—and will comfortably hover over any size clitoris. At under £15, this nifty toy gives pricier models a run for their money. It’s lightweight, compact and easy to operate with one conveniently placed button to switch between the speeds. Our panel said the material felt soft against their skin and they raved about the ribbed surface for enhanced stimulation – one tester reported “the most intense orgasms” when using it externally.

Unsurprisingly, it was among the first personal devices electrified, only falling behind the sewing machine, fan, tea kettle and toaster. I’d brought Eva along with me in the black silk carrying bag it comes with, and I tried to sneak the vibrator in before we started doing the deed. “Wait,” said Dave, “I want to see how this thing works.” Already, the vibrator was starting to get in the way of sexy time. I showed him the technique I had now mastered, and we proceeded to have sex. Instead of simply whipping Eva out in the bedroom, I thought it best to check in with Dave beforehand to see if he’d be cool with it.

Users are fans of the silky-smooth feel, and its waterproof exterior. It also comes with a convenient (and not-too obvious) storage pouch, making it easy to throw in your suitcase without a second thought. Smile Makers’ The Whisperer is the newest rechargeable vibrator from the brand and boy , are we excited about it. This vibrator was made specifically for your clitoris, but feel free to get creative with its three speeds and two fluttering pulsation modes.

Masturbation is positively linked to higher rates of self-esteem and sexual satisfaction, which are two big components of self-confidence. So, you could make the leap and say that using a vibrator can improve your self-confidence. Vaginal atrophy is “thinning, drying and inflammation of the vaginal walls that may occur when your body has less estrogen” according to the Mayo Clinic’s definition. It often happens when you begin menopause, but can also happen to people with vaginas who are on a testosterone therapy regiment. Whether your headaches are caused by your kids, a stressful job, or both, you’re probably in the market for something that can help relieve that annoying pain. You’re probably familiar with the “not tonight dear, I have a headache” trope, but is it actually backwards?

The shaft is inserted inside the vagina and rumbles to stimulate the G-spot while the sucker positions directly over the clit to stimulate with air technology. This tiny silicone suction toy comes in handy (pun intended) whether you’re enjoying a solo masturbation session or a steamy rendezvous with a partner. It keeps things simple when alone—and arguably is easy to maneuver—and when you’re with a partner it allows the focus to remain with each other while freeing up a second hand. LELO’s developed numerous suction toys, and its newest product is arguably the best in class. This sonic clit stimulator uses sonic pulses that provide deep, earth-shattering pleasure viberators, and the larger mouth gently draws in the clitoris to stimulate both inside and out.

The best remote control vibrators can turn a run-of-the-mill romp into mind-blowing sex with the press of a button. Of course, most of the objects we’ll discuss are not just for solo use. And, as with anything that has to do with sex, there is no one size fits all approach. You might be comfortable with some of the methods we’ll discuss and uncomfortable with others, or you might try one out and find that it doesn’t really do it for you. While it does its job and does it well, Le Wand is one of the louder toys on this list.

Some of the frustration came from the way that the buttons were sunk into the silicone surface of the toy—it felt like some functionality and ease of use was sacrificed for the Strawberry’s appearance. I found the Tenuto Mini most comfortable during solo use, but it’s great with a partner, too. Using a vibrator with a partner, especially during penetration, can sometimes be a challenging (if satisfying) logistical problem. While it feels great for both of us, someone generally has to hold it in place.

Avoid materials like PVC, elastomer, and rubber that are known to be porous or to contain phthalates, which can be toxic. Although it can feel good to manually thrust a rabbit in and out, sometimes you want the toy to do the work for you—and that’s where the Clutch comes in. Its internal arm jiggles in and out in a way that feels like tiny little thrusts right against the G-spot, while its external arm offers wonderfully rumbly clitoral vibrations. It holds a place of honor in my nightstand’s top drawer because the orgasms it delivers are so consistent and intense.
