What is a Vibrator?
Vibrators – The Cucumber is so Yesterday! A vibrator is one of the most popular types of sex toys available today. As the name suggests, this is a vibrating toy, with the sensations being incredibly pleasurable when used across the body, both inside and out! Vibrators come in an array of shapes and sizes, each one offering a mind-blowing experience when used correctly.
Vibes can be used for solo fun or with a partner, while there are variations for different parts of the body, from the clitoris to the penis to the anus. While there are options for everyone, vibrators are predominately designed for female use.
This is because the nerve endings on both the clitoris and vulva are highly responsive to vibrations, providing all kinds of stimulation that many feel makes it easier to orgasm. Of course, that isn’t to say that you need to be female to enjoy a good vibrator, as there are toys designed for men too, while most vibrators are just as enjoyable during sex as they are when masturbating!
Types of Vibrator
As mentioned, vibrators come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, with various types serving a unique purpose. Some are designed to be versatile so they can be used for different things, while others have a specific area they target with their vibrations.
Some people will find a certain type of vibrator is more appealing than others too. You may prefer the vibrations on your clitoris, while many love vibrators that are inserted inside, and of course plenty of people love every type of vibrator going.
Regardless, there are various options available, any of which may be to your liking. Here’s a closer look at each type of vibrator and what they offer:
Clitoral Vibrators
A clitoral vibrator is an external vibrator used on the clitoris. During sex, a lot of women struggle to orgasm from just penetration, with stimulation to clitoris (and to a lesser degree the vulva) often needed to climax.
This is where a clitoral vibrator helps. These compact vibrators stimulate the clitoris with powerful vibrations that make organisms not just easier to reach, but far more intense and pleasurable.
Better still, clit vibrators can be used during sex, foreplay, or when masturbating. They come in many sizes, with smaller models a great option for first-time sex toy buyers, as they are not too intimidating and easy to use. Here is our best selling Clitoral Vibrator:
