Useful Tips on How To Choose The Right Vibrator For You

Choosing a vibrator can be difficult – there are literally hundreds of options to choose from. Whether you are walking into a brick-and-mortar sex shop or visiting one online, you might feel overwhelmed at the number of options and wonder which one will best suit your needs.

Choosing the right vibrator for you depends on a variety of factors including your budget, how you like to be stimulated, and where you want to use it. Size and noise levels can also play a role in your decision.

Below we will discuss the various things you must consider when choosing a vibrator in more detail. Your choice of vibrator is as individual as you are, which is part of the reason there are so many options to choose from.

Start With Your Budget

You don’t need to spend a lot of money on a decent, reliable vibrator with all the bells and whistles to get yourself to O-Ville, but your budget will be one of the first things to keep in mind when making your choice.

Deciding how much you can afford to spend on a vibrator is the first step in choosing the right one for you. You may be better off saving up a little for one that has some features you like, but if you want something simple and effective there are some decent options at lower price points.

Cheaper vibrators can do the job just fine – many of them offer powerful vibrations, but they may be comparatively loud compared to more premium options. They also typically require you to replace the batteries, rather than being rechargeable. If you are okay with replacing batteries and noise levels are of no concern, then you don’t have to spend top dollar.

How Do You Like To Be Stimulated?

Everyone is different – you might need some good clitoral stimulation to get off, or you might prefer a deeper G-spot experience.

If you just want something to stimulate your clit, you might just need a small sex egg-style vibrator to get the job done. These are handy because they can also be used quite easily during sex because of their size. 

If you prefer a deeper G spot stimulation, look for a vibrator with an angled head that is designed to find and target this often elusive and powerfully stimulating area. There are also the “rabbit” style vibrators that have dual heads which can stimulate your G spot and clit simultaneously. They can be a little more pricey, especially where they incorporate dual motors to induce powerful orgasms.

If you want a vibrator for anal stimulation, be sure to pick one designed for the purpose – anal vibrators have wide flared end pieces that prevent them from completely entering your anal cavity – you have undoubtedly heard of people who have had to make embarrassing trips to the ER. It happens but is entirely preventable if you use the right toy.

Consider Where You Will Be Using It

This can be tricky since you might want to use your vibrator in different locations, or if you haven’t outright decided this, you might want to keep your options open. Some vibrators are designed for use exclusively in the bedroom, while others can be great companions for your bath or shower time.

If you want to get wet in more than one way with your vibrator, look for one that carries an IPX rating. IPX ratings determine how much water the device can be exposed to without getting damaged. Choose an IPX6 (splashproof) vibrator if you will be using it in the shower, while the IPX7-rated types are suitable for complete submersion either in the bath or pool.

Another location-based consideration is for frequent travellers – if you are often out and about on trips, a simpler small to medium-sized vibrator is more easily concealed in your handbag or luggage than some of the bigger models.

Decide What Kind Of Features You Want

Vibrators have come a long way and have begun to include more and more features like Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone app controls. Some have dozens of vibration patterns and intensities to choose from.

If you like to keep things simple, there is nothing wrong with choosing a vibrator that has only a few vibration patterns and intensities. Then again, the variety might be an appealing factor for you. Some of the more advanced features like app controls will allow you to control your experience from your smartphone, or even let someone else take control no matter where they are.

Conclusion

There is no one-size-fits-all vibrator, which is why they come in so many shapes and sizes. After considering your budget, how you like to be stimulated, and what sort of features you would like, you should be able to make a more informed decision and select the perfect vibrator for your needs.
