Use of Vibrators Among American Women
The clitoris gets lots of attention—and for good reason—but there’s another area worthy of some serious stimulation. We’re talking about the G-spot, of course, which is most easily aroused via G-spot vibrators designed specifically to target this erogenous zone. We test a lot of sex toys and accessories here at WIRED, and there isn’t enough room in one list for all of our favorite picks. There’s barely enough room on this list for all the toys we’d consider phenomenal vibrator, let alone the ones we consider the absolute best.
Some vibrators have forked ends that sit against either side of the clitoris, almost like a cradle or tuning fork, that are made specifically for people who like direct and intense vibration, Hodder says. Others have a scoop-like end that almost cups the clitoris for a “surround sound” type of stimulation. Some are textured with ridges or little nubs and others have thin, flexible fin-like extensions that flutter. The Vibrato has three buttons, which allow you to control each end of the toy separately. While I love that the vibrator’s dual motors can be operated independently, there is a learning curve to figuring out which buttons do what.
She also travels to sex-positive feminist stores like the Pleasure Chest, Tool Shed, and Smitten Kitten to hold workshops and help educate retail staff on this topic. The Cherry Emojibator is a tiny cherry vibrator, about the size and shape of an actual cherry, with nine vibration settings. The Dawner Prince Electronics Viberator is a premium stereo Uni-Vibe typephase shifter with modern options. It features intensity control to adjust thethickness and throb of the vibe effect, speed control to adjust the rate ofpulsations, and shape control to modify the waveform. The pedal also includesa chorus/vibrato switch, vintage/modern switch, and brightness trimmer fortone customization. It offers true stereo outputs for a 3D rotating speakersound and separate volume controls for added versatility.
Another key facet of using any vibrator is keeping it nice and clean, to avoid bacteria buildup and infection. “For toys with motors, you can use fragrance-free soap and water or toy cleaner,” Eva Sweeney, a sex toy reviewer, educator, and founder of Cripping Up Sex with Eva, previously told Allure. You can spritz the toy with a bit of warm soapy water, or, if it’s waterproof, you can soak it in the sink for a few moments. And, like all LELO sex toys, the Ora 3 is so elegantly designed that you can leave it out on your nightstand and people will assume it’s simply a beautiful sculpture…maybe. The G-spot, the P-spot, the A-spot—no matter which internal spot you’re looking to stimulate, there’s probably an insertable vibrator that’s up to the task.
As well as featuring 10 modes, each with seven levels of intensity, it contains two motors so target the G-spot and clitoral stimulators can be operated separately – meaning you can achieve a “blended” orgasm. There’s also a heat function, which warms the vibrator up to body temperature for additional comfort. The toy is waterproof, super quiet and there’s a handy travel-lock feature, which prevents it from accidentally turning on in your bag. The battery life isn’t the longest but that’s a small flaw for an otherwise exceptional product.
All in all , I like it and I’m going to use it, but the people who absolutely should buy one are those who run sex clubs and dungeons. As far as I see it, sitting on the machine feels inherently kinky, and this can only be enhanced by exhibitionism or BDSM, so the perfect place to use one may be at a sex party or a kink meet-up. If you can spare the cash and want a literal sex machine in your home, definitely buy a Motorbunny Buck. I feel like a badass having one, even if I do have to awkwardly explain its presence to my cat sitter. If you want to go big and bold and can afford it, it’s worth the cost — and you deserve the orgasms.
In fact, it’s the top-selling vibrator for both Good Vibrations and online adult store Lovehoney. For less than $50, it’s a fantastic option for beginners and anyone who’s already got toys in their arsenal. Maybe you want to find the best vibrator that at first glance doesn’t look like one. Enter Pep, a small, quiet egg-shaped vibrator that could be mistaken for a high-tech makeup sponge or skincare device. No matter if you’re playing solo or want to spice things up with your partner. Viberator is the premium, stereo version of the vintage, Uni-Vibe® type phase shifter with a number of modern options.
These one-and-done products allow you to explore your sexual tastes and try something new without breaking the bank, she explains. Dr. O’Relly suggests this remote- and app-controllable option from We-Vibe. It magnetically fastens into underwear (of any style) or a strap-on harness so “you can wear it out on the town or at a dinner party to take pleasure in secrecy and/or breaking the rules,” she says. The vibrations themselves are powerful but quiet—idea for thrill-seekers who enjoy the playful side of pleasure, she adds. The bestselling Dame Fin can be held between your fingers and has an optional tether that can loop around them for even more movement and exploration. “If you prefer the tactile sensation of your partner’s hand to that of a sex toy, you can position the Fin on the top side of your fingers, turning them into a conduit for the vibration,” says Finn.
