Buyers Guide: How to use a vibrator

The vibrator has been around for over a century, and although it has evolved over time, it’s main function has remained constant – to help women reach orgasm though stimulation. First designed to treat women suffering from hysteria in 1880, the vibrator as we know it has gathered a huge fan base made up predominately of women, with a handful of men too. Through TV, media and the general evolution of society, vibrators have becomes far less of a taboo, and are now considered norm. Women these days are far more sexually empowered than 20 years ago, and are not thought less of for wanting to explore their sexuality.

There are several different types of vibrators available, and hundreds of different designs, models, colours and shapes, all perfectly crafted to heighten you personal sexual experience in their own ways. Before buying your first vibrator though, it is important to know what is available on the market and try to figure out what you think you would like to achieve with your new vibrator. If you simply walk into a sex store, or browse a website hoping that something will jump out at you, you could be disappointed, and will more than likely end up choosing something because of its colour or name.

Whether you have explored your nether regions, are sexually confident or still a virgin, it is important to know about the different kinds of orgasms you can have, and which vibrators are going to help you achieve them.

Clitoral Orgasm (Also known as an external orgasm)

Many women find it quicker and easier to experience a clitoral orgasm. Although it is a lot more intense and quick, it cannot be compared to the deep and longer lasting G-spot orgasm. A clitoral orgasm can be reached by massaging the clitoris, either with one’s fingers, a regular vibrator or a specially designed clitoral vibe.

G-Spot Orgasm (Also known as internal orgasm)

Your G-Spot is situated on the inside, front wall of your vagina. Named after a German gynaecologist Ernst Gräfenberg, a G-spot orgasm is more difficult to achieve, but longer lasting, deep and extremely sensual. This orgasm can be reached by stimulating the G-spot with you fingers or vibrator.

What vibrators do what?

As previously mentioned, there are many different types of vibrators available. The most popular are typical traditional vibrators, G-spot vibrators, combo vibrators, cock rings, hands free clitoral vibrators and bullet or egg vibrators.

All vibrators can be used for external stimulation, where as only traditional, G-spot, combo and bullet vibrators can be used for internal stimulation.

How to use one:

• If it’s your first time using a vibrator, don’t be nervous. We suggest trying it out on your own first, so find a quiet, secluded place where you won’t be interrupted.
• Begin by detaching yourself from your day to day life, and free your mind of any stress, worries or thoughts. Really focus your energy on yourself, your body, and a bit of cheeky fun you’re about to have. So take a long, warm bath, listen to some chilled music or do what ever you need to make sure you are relaxed.
• Turning the vibe on, gently massage the erogenous parts of your body, especially sensitive areas like your nipples, inner thighs, your clitoris, etc. You can use your fingers to do this to.
• When you are feeling sexually charged enough (you will know when), apply lubricant to the vibe (water based or silicone based works best – oil based condoms may damage the toy).
• Gently insert the vibe. Keep the vibe turned off at first, and get a feel for it inside of you. Once you are more familiar with it, turn it onto its lowest speed. You can experiment with the different speeds as you get more confident and more turned on. You can also play around with the depth of penetration and variance between mild or thrusting movements.
