For the vast majority of women, having an orgasm can be an ordeal — although it doesn’t have to be and definitely shouldn’t be. A lot of people think they should be able to get off through penetrative sex alone, which is a really rare thing. Others aren’t quite sure about how their own body works. Many, many women and other people with vulvas get off with clitoral stimulation and a lot of women use clitoral vibrators to make it happen.
If you’ve never used a vibrator or you’ve been using the same one for years, you might not realize just how many options you have. From stimulation to angle to the setting, a lot of factors can change how good you feel and what kind of orgasm you have. If your clit is your hot spot, here’s how to use a clitoral vibrator to get off in a big way.
Pick the Stimulation You Want
Vibrators come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and yes, sensations. To make sure your orgasm is as amazing as you want it to be, the type of stimulation you choose makes all the difference. Because of the large variety in clitoral vibrators, you’ve got lot to choose from. Pick buzzing or pulsating, and some vibes do both.
You can even go for a higher tech vibrator option like sonic waves, suction, or air pressure that creates an intense sensation. It almost feels like vibrations, but better, and for many people, it’s much more intense. Like all sex toys, some people either love them or hate them, but if you enjoy clitoral stimulation, they’re often worth a look.
Clitoral Only or More?
Everyone is different, and what we want to feel can change based on our mood. The next decision you can make is whether you only want clitoral stimulation or if you want more. Nearly any vibrator can make your clit want to sing Hallelujah but when you want more than that, you might need a specific type of vibrator.
For both g-spot and clit fun or to simply add penetration to the mix, a rabbit vibrator can be a great option. The small “ears” stroke your clit, and the large dildo slips inside your body. If you want a g-spot orgasm too, look for a rabbit vibe with a curve to it so it’ll hit the right spot.
Find Your Perfect Spot
If all you’ve ever done is press your vibrator against your clit and waited to get off, you might be missing out on other ways to play. Depending on the clitoral vibrator you choose, how your body feels, and a lot of other factors, some sensations may feel better than others. Plus different sex toys produce different sensations and not all of them feel good directly on your clit.
Direct contact is only one way. You can also place your toy above or on your clitoral hood. Another option is to angle the sensation just below your clitoris. Because of the vibrations, buzzing, pulsing, and other stimulation a toy can produce, you might enjoy a toy at a different angle. If you’ve never tried switching it up, you’ll be surprised at all the new types of orgasms you can have.
Play with the Settings
You’ve moved your vibrator around to hit different spots on your clit. Now what? Try playing with the settings. Many of us find one or two options on our toy, and we’re good. We never change. But once you change the angle of your adult toy and find a new spot to stimulate, you might also like a new setting.
Look for a vibrator that offers multiple settings: seven, 10, or even 12 are fairly common. If it only has one or two, you might have a harder time finding what works for you. The more settings a toy has, the more options you have for explosive orgasms. Plus you get more variety when you decide you want a change and to experience something new.
Conclusion
There are thousands and thousands of vibrators to choose from. Narrowing down your favorites can be a real challenge. But once you find the right one that makes your clit sing and your body hum, it’s not unusual to want more. Experiment with settings, stimulation, and angles. Try new toys and new ways of playing — alone or with a partner. When you do, you might not always have a mind-blowing climax, but you’ll definitely discover more of what you like and what you don’t.
