5 Questions to Ask Yourself Before Buying Your Next Vibrator
Whether you’re buying your very first vibrator or looking to add something new to an already-ample collection, never assume that one choice is just as good as another. There are so many options out there to choose from and each brings its special perks to the table.
Plus, a really good vibrator represents an investment and not just when it comes to money. The right choice can help you get to know your body on an entirely new level, as well as significantly elevate your love life with your partner. Here are a few simple questions to ask yourself to ensure you’ll be happy with your decision.
1. What type of stimulation am I after?
Once you start the shopping process, you’ll find that most vibrators fall into one of four basic categories. There are internal vibrators for those who love the feeling of being penetrated, as well as strictly external alternatives for those that prefer focusing on other erogenous zones. There are also G-spot vibrators designed to take the guesswork out of finding and stimulating your hidden sweet spot, as well as dual-action vibrators for powerful blended orgasms.
Which one is the best fit for you depends on what type of stimulation you’re interested in exploring. For instance, dual-action vibrators are great for people who want a reliable way to have the most powerful orgasms possible, while external vibrators are great for using with a partner who may not like the idea of being penetrated.
2. Which materials are the best fit for my needs?
What your vibrator is made of matters for a couple of different reasons. To begin with, each option conveys vibrations differently. Harder materials like plastic are great for a super intense experience while softer jellies and rubbers are ideal for people who prefer something more flexible. Silicone strikes a great balance between the two, making it one of the most popular choices.
The material you choose is important from a practical standpoint as well. For instance, jelly vibrators may look nice and feel good, but many of them contain potentially harmful phthalates, so be sure to read the packaging carefully. Silicones, on the other hand, are always a smart choice. They’re not only attractive and appealing to the touch, but they’re body-safe and easy to clean as well.
3. What are my size preferences?
If you’re new to vibrators, don’t simply assume that bigger is always better. A lot of people get excited about getting to experience something over-the-top colossal only to find out that a foot-long phallic toy is just too much for them. This is your chance to pick any size, shape, length, girth, or style you want, so take some time to think about what you truly enjoy.
How deeply do you like to be penetrated? Do you want a vibrator that lends itself just as well to clitoral play as it does internal vaginal stimulation? Do you like the feeling of a nicely curved shaft or a little bit of texture? Your answers to all of these questions will help you figure out what’s best size-wise and shape-wise.
4. What are my practical needs?
Although a vibrator’s ability to please you is the most important thing, you’ll also want to consider how easily the toy will fit into your everyday life. Here are some key points to mull over before you buy.
- How is the toy powered? Rechargeable toys eliminate the need to keep a constant supply of batteries on hand, but you need convenient access to a power source when it’s time to juice up. The same goes for corded vibes that require constant access to a power outlet, even while they’re in use.
- Do you travel a lot or otherwise need your vibe to be portable? Go for something discreet with manageable dimensions and a quiet motor that won’t cramp your style when you’re on the go.
- Do you like to be able to take your toys into the tub or shower with you? Choose something waterproof that lets you enjoy your next orgasm wherever you like.
5. Can I trust the brand I’m buying from?
You wouldn’t buy a television, a computer, or a cell phone from a brand you didn’t know and trust. Vibrators are also electronics, so brand name and quality matter in this instance too. When in doubt, buy from luxury brands (like FemmeFunn) that treat the art of designing and manufacturing sex toys like the fine art it is.
Top brands create toys that not only last longer but deliver a better overall user experience.
