Vibrator Styles And Types

There are a variety of styles and types of vibrators to choose from, and the style you choose will depend on what kind of stimulation youre looking for. For example, do you think you enjoy a vibrator that would stimulate just your clitoris? Would you prefer that your vibrator stimulate your G-Spot? Perhaps you think you enjoy simultaneous clitoral and G-Spot stimulation. The type of stimulation you choose is critical to your success at finding the right vibrator. You probably would not be happy with a G-Spot vibrator if you only enjoy clitoral stimulation. The best and easiest way to determine what kind of stimulation you like is to think about what you enjoy when youre masturbating or having sex with a partner. Do you orgasm when you or your partner stimulates your clitoris, or do you find direct clitoral stimulation too intense? Do you crave deep G-Spot stimulation, or do all of your best orgasms come from clitoral stimulation? Once you know what turns you on youre in a very good position to decide what type or style of vibrator would work best for you.

Traditional Vibrators

When people think of vibrators, this is usually the style that comes to mind. Traditional vibrators are slim, straight, between four and eight inches in length, and are usually (although not always) made of plastic. They are available in many different finishes, including bright colors and metallic. Most traditional vibrators are adjustable, allowing the user full control over the vibration level. The hard plastic outer casing helps maintain the strength of the vibrations by transferring them directly from the motor, making them a good choice for people who think they might like the feel of stronger vibrations but who dont want to purchase an electric vibrator.

G-Spot Vibrators

G-Spot Vibrators are usually shaped like a traditional vibrator, with the exception that they\'re curved at the end to allow contact with the G-Spot. They are typically between four and eight inches in length and have a base-mounted controller for easy vibration control. If you want to try a G-Spot vibrator, be sure to look for one made of plastic or a firm jelly material so it doesnt bend when it is inserted. The best G-Spot orgasms come when you apply firm pressure, so you want to be sure the vibrator can withstand that kind of stress without flexing too much.

Clitoral Vibrators

It seems to be a fact of life that many women can only reach orgasm, or prefer the orgasm they have from direct clitoral stimulation. The orgasms achieved by stimulating the clitoris are intense and satisfying, as any orgasm should be. It seems natural, in light of this information, that women have demanded a vibrator that speaks to their needs...a vibrator that offers direct and intense clitoral stimulation...one that leaves them feeling as satisfied, if not more satisfied than manual stimulation.

Enter the category of clitoral vibrators. These vibrators are designed with the clitoris in mind, offering powerful direct clitoral stimulation while the user is free to sit back and enjoy the sensations. Some clitoral vibrators are small and non insertable - designed to stimulate only the clitoris. Some clitoral vibrators offer clitoral stimulation via a small "animal" or attachment on the shaft that reaches the clitoris when the shaft is inserted into the vagina. Neither type is "better" than the other, and each has certain pleasures unique unto itself. Whichever type you prefer, clitoral vibrators offer powerful clitoral stimulation that are just not possible during manual stimulation.

Clitoral-Only Vibrators:

These are vibrators that were designed to stimulate the clitoris exclusively. They are not usually the best choice for vaginal insertion, and they dont have fancy shafts adorned with gizmos or gadgets. What they do have are heads, balls or eggs that were designed to stimulate the clitoris. These toys are usually small and compact, making them great for travel, and they dont usually look like a traditional vibrator. Some of the toys in this category are so non-vibrator looking that If someone were to stumble across it they might not even know what it was.

Butterfly Vibrators:

Also known as "Venus vibrators" or "hands-free stimulators", these toys are designed to directly stimulate the clitoris. They are usually small devices about the circumference of a soda can that nestle up to the vagina and clitoris and are held in place by waist or leg straps.Butterfly vibrators are usually designed to resemble an animal, such as a dolphin, hummingbird, rabbit, or of course butterfly, and are quiet and small enough to be worn in public. Many people find that the best thing about butterfly vibrators is that they are virtually hands-free, which leaves the vagina exposed and ready for oral or manual stimulation and most can be worn during intercourse. They are wonderful little vibrators that can be used and enjoyed many different ways.

Vibrating Eggs:

The egg vibrator is another advancement in vibrator technology. A small egg shaped capsule, usually two inches or so in length houses a powerful vibration motor. These eggs can be used internally or externally and usually come with a remote battery pack that lets you choose between several vibration options and multiple vibration intensity levels. Egg vibrators are in a sense basic, yet they are wonderfully satisfying and are capable of powerful sensations.

Combination Vibrators:

Also known as multipurpose vibrators, combination vibrators, or rabbit vibrators, these versatile toys are designed with both the clitoris and G-Spot in mind. A clitoral stimulating device, usually resembling an animal such as a rabbit, dolphin, butterfly, or hummingbird is situated on top of the vibrators shaft. Usually having its own control knob, the vibrating animal works much the same way a butterfly vibrator does. Simply place the animal in contact with your clitoris, adjust the vibrations to the desired level and away you go. The interesting thing about these vibrators is that the clitoral stimulator is designed for use along with the vibrator. So, you insert the shaft until the clitoral stimulator reaches the right spot, turn on any control you wish - whether its clitoral vibrations or shaft vibrations or rotations and away you go. Its also important to note that many dual-action vibrators have rotating shafts and/or rotating pearls in the shaft for added vaginal stimulation. These vibrators really do it all and are worth a look whether you enjoy clitoral stimulation, G-Spot or vaginal stimulation or both.

Anal Vibrators:

At first glance, one might assume that a vibrator is a vibrator and that they can all be used either vaginally or anally. Is there really a need for a separate category for anal vibrators? Yes! While its true that most vibrators can be inserted into any orifice, its not wise to use a regular vibrator anally. The issue, as unbelievable or as funny as it seems, is that vibrators tend to disappear into the anus. The opening is tight, the cavity is endless hands get slippery with lubrication and the anal sphincter muscle contracts rather strongly during orgasm. Add these factors together and you\'ve got a recipe for a disappearing vibrator.

Now enter the anal vibrator. It may look like an anal plug, a traditional vibrator, or a dildo. Whatever the shaft is designed to resemble, the important factor is that the base is flared or that its attached to a retrieval cord. The flare or the cord will prevent your erotic evening from culminating in a trip to the local emergency room. Nothing life threatening, but they might have to work a bit to remove the vibrating apparatus from your rectum.

Hopefully you can see the wisdom in using an anal vibrator for anal play. Theyre usually inexpensive, designed to be safe for anal use, and are a lot of fun.

Remote Control Vibrators

Remotely controlled vibrators usually consist of a pair of wearable panties or a thong that contains a small egg-shaped or cylindrical vibrator. Working in a way similar to that of a remote control garage door, one person simply adjusts the vibrations within 40 or 50 feet of the person wearing the unit and the vibration level increases or decreases. Remotely controlled vibrators are designed to operate quietly which makes these toys ideal for the bedroom or other private places as well as out in public. These toys can be a lot of fun and are primarily geared towards couples, although they can just as easily be worn and controlled by the same person.

Combination Vibrators

Combination vibrators are currently very popular. They have the ability to stimulate the vagina like a traditional vibrator as well as stimulate the clitoris and/or the opening of the vagina at the same time. A good example of a combination vibrator is the Jack Rabbit. It consists of a small "rabbit" perched on top of a pink jelly vibrator shaft. The rabbit is designed to directly stimulate the clitoris and is controlled by a remote battery pack. The shaft, which is also controlled by the remote battery pack, is capable of twisting back and forth and of "rotating" the pearls around in a circular motion, which stimulates the labia and the opening to the vagina. Many women find the combined features of these vibrators to be the perfect recipe for orgasm. They require less work than other toys and the stimulation levels of the clitoral stimulator and the shaft can be adjusted independently to fit your mood. Combination vibrators are usually high quality toys and they come in many shapes and sizes. Theyre easy to use and work well for both experienced and novice vibrator users.
