There are as many reasons to use a vibrator as there are reasons to feel good. Some common reasons include:
* Curiosity
* Self-discovery
* Spicing up a long-term sexual relationship
* Help experiencing orgasms
* Extra stimulation
* Just for fun
How to Use Vibrators
Vibrators, and sex toys in general, may be the last consumer product group to come with absolutely no instructions or manuals from the manufacturers. At first blush you may think your vibrator doesn’t need a manual, but there are hundreds of different things to do with a vibrator, and if you’ve never used one a few pointers may be appreciated.

* How to use a vibrator (for men)
Shopping for your first vibrator can be a daunting experience. There are dozens of different styles and thousands of different products, and few stores offer guidance on where to start. Differences in vibrator material, price and quality, and function account for most of the variation. Considering the big picture, there are really two main types of vibrators.
Electric Vibrators. These often high-quality types of vibrators need to be plugged into an electrical outlet and are primarily made for external stimulation. They are stronger and usually more expensive than their battery powered counterparts.
Battery -Powered Vibrators.These vibrators are less expensive, available in a much wider range of shapes, sizes, colors and styles. As boutique manufacturers grow, and make more luxury or high-end sex vibrators battery-powered vibrators are getting to be better quality, but they are often not as good as their name brand electric cousins.
Finding the Best Vibrator
Finding the vibrator that’s right for you depends on answering some basic questions, including:
* What do you want to use the vibrator for?
* What’s the best material for your vibrator to be made from?
* What is your budget?
* What do you want your vibrator to look like?
* Is quality more important than cost?
OhMiBod founder Suki Durham worked at Apple for eight years before leaving to found her audio vibrator company, which provides iPod "acsexsories" that sync a vibrator's vibrations to music.
At the Adult Entertainment Expo, which runs concurrently with CES, the company displayed a new round of "Nano" vibrators that are available in the same colors as Apple's latest Nano devices.
That's big news if color coordination really gets you off, but OhMiBod's new splitters, which ship with each product to route the audio to both vibrator and earphones, are more interesting. Their slim new profile means OhMiBod's vibrators can be used with the iPhone. In this configuration, the caller's voice controls the vibrations, lending an entirely new meaning to the term "phone sex."
Durham also said that OhMiBod enthusiasts have been uploading their favorite playlists for use with the devices to the iTunes music store.
In the guise of "body massagers", millions of vibrators have been sold to both men and women. Some of the purchasers never use them for anything other than relief from muscular tension or to relieve aches and pains.
However, many people who purchase vibrators marketed as "body massagers" — and, presumably, most people who purchase vibrators marketed as adult toys — use them to attain sexual pleasure, primarily in masturbation, a form of autoeroticism.
Vibrators often allow people to achieve orgasm rapidly and with relative ease as compared to other methods. In addition, vibrators are reported[who?] to provide stronger orgasms than those produced by manual stimulation alone. They are often recommended by sex therapists for women who have difficulty reaching orgasm by other means[citation needed]. Couples also use them sometimes as an enhancement to the pleasure of one or both partners. Some vibrators run on batteries while others have a power cord that plugs into a wall socket. There is also a vibrator that uses the flow of air from a vacuum cleaner to stimulate the clitoris.
There are also contemporary versions of the old musical vibrators, which allow you to synchronize the vibrations to music from a music player or from a cellphone.
There are an enormous range of vibrators but most of them fall into several broad categories:
* Clitoral—Often sold as "back massagers", these are powerful vibrators such as the Hitachi Magic Wand or the Acuvibe.
* Dildo-shaped—Approximately penis shaped, can be made of plastic, silicone, rubber, vinyl, or latex.
* Waterproof—Can be used wet, such as in the shower. Although marketed as waterproof, most should not be submerged.
* Rabbit, 'Jackrabbit' or 'Rampant Rabbit'—Two pronged for stimulation of both the vagina and the clitoris.
* G-spot—Similar to the traditional vibrator but with a curve and often a soft jelly like coating. The curve makes it easier to use to stimulate the g-spot or prostate.
* Egg—Egg shaped vibrator which can be used for stimulation of the clitoris or insertion into the vagina
* Pocket rocket—Shaped like a cylinder, one of its ends has some vibrating bulges. It is meant to stimulate the clitoris or nipples, not for vaginal insertion.
* "Undercover" vibrators—Vibrators discreetly shaped as every-day objects, such as lipstick tubes, cell phones, or art pieces. Occasionally some woman use actual mobile phones in this function
* Anal vibrators—Vibrators designed for anal use have either a flared base or a long handle to grip, to prevent them from slipping inside and becoming lodged in the rectum.
* 'Butterfly'—vibrator strapped around legs and waist for hands free clitoral stimulation during sexual intercourse
* Vibrating Cockring—vibrator (usually cordless) inserted in or attached to a cock ring, usually for stimulation of the clitoris.
* Dual Area Vibrators these vibrators are designed to stimulate two erogenous zones simultaneously or independently. Usually found in the form of a clitoral stimulator and vaginal stimulator
* Triple Area Vibrators these vibrators are designed to stimulate three erogenous zones simultaneously or independently. These provide stimulation to the vagina, clitoris and anal regions.
* Luxury Vibrators entered the market around 2000 with an increased focus on design and the use of precious materials that appeal to the more upscale fashion market. They are designed by companies such as Jimmyjane and sold by high-end retailers such as Fred Segal.

Get ready for a good time with this vibrator! I loved it. The best part is the long ears that rub up all over the right places. It's about time that there's a rabbit vibrator that actually stimulates the clit instead of missing it. The ear tips do not press against the clitoris, instead the long ears sit over top so it's more of a teasing feel and less direct. The spiraled shaft is supposed to be unique as per the description of the product, but I didn't even notice the difference, it felt smooth to me. The twirling head is nice, it feels like a fat finger moving around in circles inside you, it's a really good feeling. It does not go very deep which is great for a small person. The only really bad thing is how noisy this thing is. It sound like the motor needs to be oiled! It's almost too noisy for me because it interferes with the mood. Buy this vibrator for the long ears, its amazing, a great buy but remember to wear ear plugs! (Click to see the Ravenous Rabbit)
Vibrators are the most popular sex toy around the world. The pulsating hum placed against a sensitive body part such as a nipple, clitoris, penis, or even that delicate anus can be riveting!
Did you know women can achieve orgasms up to ten times faster by using a vibrator on her most sensitive body part… the clit. It's true! In addition, a woman who uses a vibrator before having sex is more likely to have multiple orgasms from penetration. The vibration from the vibrator increases blood flow and engorges the vaginal walls and g-spot allowing for more intense pleasure and the likelihood of breathtaking orgasms!
Men also benefit as the vibrations can bring that erection to a glass cutting hardness! A man's orgasm can be magnified greatly from that level of stimulation created much the same way a woman's juices get flowing.
Vibrators are also great for people who experience lack of sex drive. This is because vibrators stimulate blood flow and increase feelings of pleasure in the sex organs in a manner that sends messages to the brain saying "hey this feels awesome… I want more!"
The variety and function capable of today's vibrators is astonishing. Low cost and high powered vibrators are easily obtained from the privacy of your own home and are a must have for the solo masturbation session to the passionate exchange of pleasuring your lover.
Yet, there are so many to choose from and finding the right one can feel overwhelming. That is why you will find an easy to follow guide below to help you take the guess work out of it and get you on your way to the fun stuff!
What To Watch Out For
There are a lot of vibrators that are made as a novelty and break easily so it is important to choose wisely, selecting from a reputable store with high quality products like ours. The most important thing when buying a vibrator online is knowing the SIZE. Please refer to our measurements outlined by each of the products so that you do not get something that is too big or small.
Determining Size
Sometimes it is hard to gage what is the best size. I remember ordering my first dildo online and then getting one that was supposed to be "realistic" and ended up thinking that King Kong himself would be envious when I saw how big it actually was!
May I suggest using a simple test of finger width or vegetable testing before deciding on a width or length. Using your fingers or a vegetable like a carrot or cucumber may help you decide what width and length to get.
You should certainly wash anything you insert in any orifice of your body prior and then take some time to determine what will bring you the most pleasure. You can also have a partner assist in either exercise for a fun sexual adventure!
Diameter Vs. Circumference
Also, remember the difference between circumference and diameter when assessing how large your sex toy is going to be.
Ever since the moment I first discovered the thrill of an orgasm, somewhere around age 14, I have known that there will be special private moments I share only with my masturbatory implement of choice. I cling to the idea that most women feel this way, despite the still commonly held beliefs that women do not masturbate, have as strong a sex drive, or even enjoy sex, as much as men. Indeed, from my own experiences and those of the handful of friends willing to share these delicate truths with me, I have evidence that women can be just as creative in finding the right tool. The stories I have compiled reveal that we as women are intimately acquainted with the downward rush of water from a bathtub tap, the upward thrust of water from a bidet, cucumbers, various "massagers" belonging to unsuspecting older relatives, our own hands, of course, and even electric toothbrushes. Eat your heart out, Portnoy.
As for me, I have owned several vibrators. My very first was shipped clandestinely from my college boyfriend and delivered by his own mother, unbeknownst to her, while I was studying abroad (thankfully this was before every package in one’s luggage was likely to be opened). It was a small purple phallus (certainly smaller than my boyfriend was) powered by two double A’s. Later, I suppose when he had gotten over his fear of giving me something more powerful than he was, he bought me a large, rechargeable cordless back massager, which remained my most faithful companion long after that relationship ended. Finally, for a couple of years I have had a little fellow known as the Pocket Rocket, a one battery dealie that is powerful for its size, yet obviously limited.
My favorite woman-friendly sex toy catalog clearly has me and the women like me in mind when it touts its most expensive masturbatory aid, the Hitachi Magic Wand, as the "Cadillac of Vibrators." Even for a hefty $52, what self-love enthusiast can’t convince herself that she deserves the very best? I certainly found myself justifying it. After all, I thought, I could easily blow that on clothes for a first date in order to secure a few months of great sex. This vibrator could give me the same pleasure, and probably more, for years, without ever going out of style.
Hitachi Magic Wand, The Magic Wand has a long handle and something that looks like a white tennis ball stuck on the end of it. With a sturdy utilitarian construction, it is surprisingly simple, reminding me of the most expensive blenders which, instead of 10 levels varying from "whip" to "liquefy," have only an on and off switch. In the same kind of elegance, the Wand has one simple switch with two speeds, one that is a gentle massage and one that I have nicknamed "Mexico City 1984". Any woman not fond of intense vibration may find even the lower speed too intense, and even vibrator queens may shy away from the high speed. In power alone, this baby lives up to its nickname.
The big disadvantage of the Magic Wand is that it is noisy, a major drawback for anyone with a roommate, and perhaps a distraction for use with a partner. The Magic Wand is also not meant for penetration (though I imagine it is possible for the fisting-adept). However, a variety of attachments for that purpose (as well as attachments for use by men) are available through the same catalogs and online stores where the HMW is sold.
So how does the "Cadillac" stand up to other vibrators I have known and loved? It is definitely the leader of the pack. When compared to other items on which I have blown $50 - concert tickets, shoes, drinks - the Magic Wand clearly wins in its potential to please for years to come. Though most women’s needs can probably be met with something less pricey and less noisy, I recommend taking it for a spin.
But really, we’re pretty sure you know what a vibrator is for. So the only question remaining is which vibrator will rock your personal world. Is it a mini vibrator, a g-spot vibrator, a rabbit vibrator, a realistic vibrator or something that looks like it has been designed by a team of aesthetically challenged engineers from Planet Zog? We have them all, the difference being is that if we sell them they are superior vibrators made out of safe materials and olympic class performers.
