There are also vibrators that can connect to apps and Bluetooth that allow for partnered play or solo hands-free fun, USB-rechargeable toys, and then there are more basic vibrators.

Vibrators are an excellent sex toy because they help individuals achieve orgasm more easily than if they were to use their or their partner’s hands.

Plus, it’s also true that most women orgasm easier via clitoris stimulation as opposed to penetration, and thus a clitoral vibrator is a great tool for self-pleasure, partnered play, and sexual wellness.

The Science Behind Vibrators: How They Work

As we mentioned, there are different vibrator types. Each have their own special vibration technology, for example:

Different vibration intensities and patterns Different types of motors, such as rumbly or buzzy sensations

Whichever kind of vibrator you’re using, there’s one thing you can always count on: pleasure! And how do they enhance pleasure? By stimulating nerve endings for heightened arousal.

Using a vibrator helps with blood circulation by increasing blood flow to the area, creating more sensitivity and relaxation, and thus making it more susceptible to sexual bliss.

Are they safe to use? Vibrators are safe to use, but you should always go for one that’s made of body-safe material. Also, it’s important to be mindful of your body during use. If you feel discomfort, you may be using an intensity level that’s too high for you.

Types of Vibrators & Their Unique Benefits

Here are five different types of sex toys that’ll make choosing a vibrator that much easier for you.

1. Clitoral Vibrators (Best for external stimulation)

Clitoral vibrators are made for external stimulation on the clitoris. The clitoris is located at the top of the vulva and is a complex network of erectile tissue nerve endings (more than 10,000 nerve endings!). The part that we can see is called the glans clitoris, but actually, the clitoris is a wishbone shape and extends down inside of the body.

The best vibrators for clitoral stimulation are:

Bullet vibrators: they’re small and discreet, and can be used for the clitoris or other erogenous zones for targeted pleasure. Air pulse stimulators: this vibrator uses suction technology to gently stimulate the clitoris. Finger vibrators: it attaches to the finger, so it is a wearable vibrator that’s intimate and offers controlled sensations.

Internal G-spot stimulators are great for women who want to stimulate their G-spot. The G-spot is an erogenous zone found two-three inches from the vaginal opening, and is part of the larger clitoral network.

To find the G-spot means exploring your body with your finger(s) or with a toy, in the motion of “come hither”. This is, upwards towards the belly button. If you’re opting for a sex toy, it would be perfectly-shaped in such a way that it’ll reach your G-spot easier than if you were to use your finger(s).

The best vibrators for G-spot stimulation are:

G-spot vibrators: These have curved tips for targeted internal pleasure. Rabbit vibrators: These offer dual stimulation with internal and external functions. Thrusting & rotating vibrators: These are more advanced motion-enhanced pleasure.

2. Internal Vibrators (Best for G-spot & deep stimulation)

Anal Vibrators for beginners & experienced users

Anal stimulation is a thrilling experience for any body. For men, it can stimulate the prostate, which can lead to orgasms.

In women, anal stimulation can lead to A-spot stimulation. The A-spot is located deep inside of the vagina, making it a hotspot for orgasms.

The best vibrators for anal play are:

Vibrating butt plugs: Great for introducing anal play. Prostate massagers: Designed for P-spot stimulation.

Benefits of Using a Vibrator

We’ve just mentioned all of the amazing ways in which vibrators can target different erogenous zones in the body, and help facilitate orgasms, so let’s focus on the other vibrator benefits.

Enhanced pleasure

Using a vibrator allows you to explore your body and new sensations, which can help you to associate more positive feelings with your body and your sexuality. It can aid in enhanced sexual pleasure and more (different and/or better) orgasms.

Sexual wellness

When you take the time to experiment with new sensations and target different areas of your body, you get to learn more about yourself, your sexuality, and your pleasure, leading to more body awareness and confidence.

Stress relief

With the help of sex toys, blood flow is encouraged to the area that you’re stimulating. This means that there is more sensitivity, which could increase the chance of orgasm. This is great for everyone, yes, but it’s especially good news for those who may have a low libido or arousal difficulties.

During play time, be it solo or with a partner, vibrators can enhance your pleasure. And when you orgasm, a slew of feel-good hormones are released. On top of all of the happy, love hormones such as oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins, your levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) can decrease. This can lead you to feeling less stressed, more relaxed, and with less tension.

Heightened sensitivity

How to Choose the Right Vibrator for You

If you’re a newbie and on the hunt for your very first vibrator, or you’ve had the same trusted vibe for quite some time, there’s always an opportunity to explore more and find something new.

Here are some things to consider when it comes to choosing a vibrator for you:

Think about features: What features are important to you? Would you like a waterproof vibrator, a USB-rechargeable one, remote-controlled, app-enabled? Or do you simply want an easy-to-use vibrator for beginners?

Material safety: We always advise that you go for a body-safe material, such as silicone or glass. But there are toys made out of other materials such as ABS plastic, TPE, jelly and rubber.

Noise level & discretion: Some vibrators are whisper-quiet, while others are powerful but loud. Think about your living situation, as well as what you’d prefer in general.

Budget & brand reputation: Do you want to go for something affordable? Or do you want to go for a luxury vibrator which, in the long run, would be worth investing in.
