A Short Guide to Buying a Vibrator

Every woman is entitled to have sexual pleasure in the way she chooses. However, buying a sex toy isn’t always as simple as one might think, especially for beginners. Nowadays, there are a multitude of options to help a woman attain pleasure — some even claim a cell phone can do the job — but that only makes the choice harder. With so many options available, a woman certainly needs guidance, or at least to be steered in the right direction before buying their first - or new - vibrator.

This article focuses on some aspects to consider before taking the plunge, whether online or in a physical sex shop.

1. All about shape — The first thing to consider when shopping for a vibrator is the shape, as it will have great impact on the kind of pleasure a woman gets from her sex toy. To determine the right shape, a woman should think about how she pleasures herself, how intense and how localized she likes her sensations to be.

2. In or out — There are internal and external vibrators, as well as targeted and dual-action options. Vibrators that can be used internally are usually a more common option, according to specialists, because they work just as well for external stimulation while offering more versatility.

3. Shopping around vs. buying online — There are advantages to buying a vibrator in a dedicated store as well as to ordering online. Going to a physical store allows you to get professional advice and instant consultation. Buying online, however, will allow women to consider their decision, shop around for different styles and prices, and even read user reviews. All in all, the decision should be made based on personal choice.

4. The right materials — The material of a vibrator is almost as important as its shape, so it should be taken into account before making a purchase. Silicone seems to be the most popular material, according to specialists. This is because silicone is not expensive, quite comfortable and easy to clean. Rubber, on the other hand, is cheap but should be avoided as it is often formulated using toxic substances.

5. The attraction factor — A woman should buy a vibrator she is attracted to because pleasure is very closely linked to aesthetics. Like a real man, the vibrator shouldn’t turn a woman off or make her feel uncomfortable, so the key is to look for something that pleases the eye as well as everything else.

6. The value of being extra — After considering the shape, aesthetics, materials and, of course, the actual vibration of the sex toy, women should look at the price tag and what it actually means. The key to choosing between an affordable or premium toy is usually the extra features. So the woman should understand whether she really needs them or the standard modes will do the job just as well.
