A Newcomers Guide to Masturbating with a Vibrator

Others were marketed as plain-old massagers, beauty aids and weight-loss devices. I stopped the action, Dave pulled away, and the loud buzzing returned. Maybe my vaginal…region is just too big, but this thing was not going to stick.

If you’re new to anal play, start with a smaller toy and use plenty of lube to avoid discomfort. “I love Uberlube, Good Clean Love, and Slippery Stuff,” shares Rosara Torrisi, PhD, a licensed clinical social worker and AASECT-certified sex therapist at the Long Island Institute of Sex Therapy in Syosset, New York. It’s incredibly important to keep your sex toys hygienic, and luckily it’s really simple to do so.

While we love dishing on our favorite sex toys, we know that not everyone can relate. So, regardless of if you want to keep the noise-level down for roommates or you don’t want your collection of vibes to quite look like vibrators, we’re here to serve with the best discreet sex toys to suit your needs. The Tenga Iroha provides four speeds and two patterns, and it is hands-down the quietest vibrator in our guide.

And not only does it feel good, but it’s visually appealing too, with one tester describing it as a “beautiful looking product”. Although the brand says it’s perfect for couples, you’ll have just as much fun using it on your own – it would be hard not to when there are 20 (!) different functions to make your way through. You can customise the vibrations to suit your personal preferences, it’s suitable for use in the shower, and it’s easy to clean with warm soapy water or a dedicated sex toy cleaner. It boasts innovative 3D pleasure air technology, using gentle waves and slow, pulsating sensations to take orgasms to a whole new level.

The charge point is concealed within the silicone that covers the outside of the Cherry, and you have to insert the charger at a slightly awkward angle to get it to connect. Every time I used the charger I felt like I was on the verge of breaking the silicone lining when I was rooting around for the port. Embedded throughout the small device are three separate vibration motors viberators, two in the base and one larger module at the top. In addition to motors, the two sides of the bottom half of the Tenuto Mini house flexible joints that allow you to rotate the nubs to sit comfortably snug on your penis.

If anything, this proves there’s a need for different style rabbits for different bodies. Just because the Nova 2 wasn’t a winner for me doesn’t mean that’ll be the case for you. If other rabbit vibrators haven’t been satisfactory, maybe Nova 2’s design will be. While the Nova 2 is designed to contour to your body, it unfortunately didn’t really work with mine. Every time the G-spot stimulator was inserted, the curved clit stimulator landed on my pubis (above the clit), and it was too uncomfortable to contort it down. The Nova 2 does look like a redesigned rabbit, with an almost-circular curve of its clitoral stimulator.

Porous materials, like PVC and elastomer, hold onto bacteria and can never be fully cleaned. Instead, look for vibes made from nonporous materials like ABS plastic and medical-grade silicone—these won’t irritate or damage genital and anal tissues, Dr. Suwinyattichaiporn says. If your sex toy looks rusty , discoloured or just generally worse for wear, it’s probably time to replace it. Similarly, if the battery looks damaged or there are frayed electrical wires, then you should look for a new vibrator. It has an impressive seven vibration modes and eight levels of intensity, putting you in total control of your experience. It also still comes in an attractive, compact (3.5”) case and makes minimal noise, so it’s a top choice if discretion is the name of the game.

It’s way too easy to lose the charger, and there’s comfort in knowing you can use any charging cable you have lying around. The vibrations of the Je Joue Mimi felt jerky and choppy at the lower speeds and caused the motor to make wheezing noises. This toy works best if you use it at its maximum setting, provided that the maximum setting is not too strong or weak for your personal tastes. In some cases you can scrub off the stickiness, but we do not recommend using silicone lubricants with silicone toys because we don’t really know how such lubricants will affect the porosity and integrity of the toys over time. Vibrators with “loop” handles like the Dot’s are easier to grip, and toys that don’t vibrate too much in the handle are gentler on hands. Unlike some of the other toys we tested, the Magic Wand Rechargeable is not waterproof.

Though obviously that should be the case for any vibe, it’s nice that there’s a toy out there that markets itself as such and leans in to the different ways different bodies can enjoy some buzz. If you’re not looking for more intense direct stimulation, the Tango might be a bit too much. It is also on the pricier end, but if you want a bullet vibe that’ll last for a while and that you’ll actually want to use time and time again, we say the Tango is well worth the investment. The other aspects of the Poet’s design are just as impressive, with the finger-pad sized indents on its sides making it both easy for holding and squeezing, which adjusts the vibration and pulse speed. So yes, it’s a little pricey, but it has the features that back the price up, and still, it’s still cheaper than the Womanizer Premium or Lelo Sila.
