A vibrator is a great bedroom accessory to have if you want to pleasure yourself at any time. Whether you are single or in a relationship you can make use of a vibrator. Yet if you are setting out to purchase one for the first time there are certain factors you will want to consider.
Nontoxic Toy
The first factor to consider when purchasing your vibrator is the toxicity of the material used to make it. Poorly made sex toys usually contain phthalate, a harmful toxin. Since your vibrator comes in such close contact with your body it is essential that you use one constructed with nontoxic materials.
Desired Size
Sex toys, including vibrators, come in various sizes. It is important to find the ideal size for your body. To determine the proper size for your vibrator take note of the diameter and circumference of any vibrator you are considering. You will also want to consider the total length of the vibrator vs the amount of it you would be inserting into your vagina. The best way to determine the ideal size for your vibrator is to assess how many fingers you can insert for maximum comfort. If you would rather not use your fingers feel free to use a cucumber or carrot instead.
Power Level
How intense you want your sexual experiences to be is an important factor in choosing the right vibrator. Not all of them are created equal when it comes to their power. When shopping for a vibrator you will want to determine the number of volts it uses and also the speed of the motor and its components.
The amount of power a vibrator has depends on the type it is. For example, there are electric, rotating and battery operated versions. You will find that electric is more powerful than battery operated. It is also important to know that the rotating type is extremely sensitive and if excess pressure is applied to it then the vibrator won’t work the way it should. This can happen if you grip the shaft with too much force, a mistake that is easy to make in the heat of the moment. Even the clenching of Kegel muscles can apply enough pressure to render the vibrator useless.
You may find that a battery operated vibrator is inconvenient since you will frequently need to purchase new batteries for it. If you want your vibrator to be ready for action any time you are it is best to use an electric vibrator. The electronic version provides the most intense experience of all.
Vibration Level
The more powerful a vibrator is the noisier it is. While you could choose a vibrator that is silent, it will also not be as powerful as the noisy one, The reason for this is vibrators that make little to no noise also include sound barriers that cut down on the intensity of the vibration. This equals a less intense sexual experience for you.
The larger a vibrator is the more power it has. In the case of a silicone vibrator with a powerful motor you will find that the vibration is muffled due to the fact that silicone is not the best conductor. A plastic vibrator is a better choice than the silicone version because the vibrations are stronger.
His Use vs Her Use
While women use a vibrator to stimulate their Gspot, men use it to stimulate their prostate. Since a man’s prostate is his version of a Gspot, a vibrator is the perfect choice for couples who want to share the joy of sex toys in the bedroom. That being said, if both of you are interested in owning a vibrator you can either compromise on one you can share or each choose one according to your own preferences.
The type of vibrator you should choose is dependent upon how you intend to use it. There are several different types of vibrators to choose from:
- bullets
- dual action/bunny
- triple action
- electric
- strap-on compatible
- discreet
- waterproof
Dual action vibrators, also known as bunny, rotate, while triple action vibrators stimulate the anus, clitoris and Gspot. Many men and women prefer the electric type since you can use it all over your body. If you are self conscious about owning one though, a discreet vibrator may be your best choice as they are disguised as objects such as a sponge or pen. You also have the option of purchasing a music vibrator, which can discreetly be used in public. They can be slipped into a pair of panties seamlessly. If your main goal is to use your vibrator in the shower, a waterproof type is your only viable option.
Types Of Penis Vibrators
Penis vibrators such as masturbation sleeves and love rings can enhance any man’s sexual experiences. Some masturbation sleeves vibrate while others do not. A non-vibrating masturbation sleeve can be converted to a vibrating one by inserting a bullet.
For a penis vibrator you can use together, a love ring is a great choice to add to your bedroom repertoire. Triple action vibrating rings also come in handy in the bedroom, especially if you enjoy being anally stimulated.
Nipple Vibrators
While nipple vibrators are traditionally thought of as a woman’s sex toy, men can also benefit from them. In many cases you can adjust the vibration level and pressure of this type of vibrator. They are also excellent at stimulating both testicles and the clitoris. When choosing the nipple vibrator that is best for you all you have to do is squeeze your own nipples. This helps you determine how much pressure you need to apply in order to feel stimulated, which should influence your choice in nipple vibrators.
Controls
Yet another factor to consider is the type of controls a vibrator has. Most of them can simply be turned on and off. The most basic vibrators often have an off/on switch and not many other features. These vibrators come with one or more speeds, so choose carefully.
Vibrators capable of multiple speeds are preferable for many men and women. If it is your first time using a vibrator you can start with the lowest speed and work your way up to the highest as you grow accustomed to using it. Some of today’s vibrators are capable of as many as 10 different speeds.
Hand vs Remote
Vibrators are controlled either by hand or remote. The hand controlled type is more versatile than other types and puts you in complete control. They are generally anywhere from five to 15 inches long.
If you and/or your partner are bold enough to use them in public, a remotely controlled vibrator is your best choice. This includes masturbation sleeves, making them ideal for men.
Strap-On
Strap-on vibrators are also a popular bedroom option. Depending on the type you choose it will come with a bullet vibrator or a vibrating dildo. The one you choose should depend on how you plan to use it. There are many varieties of strap-on vibrators, all with various materials and features.
Considering all the possible options when choosing a vibrator is the best way to ensure you get one that fulfills your needs.
