Vibes A - Z

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Vibrators

Look at all those strange shapes!

What do they all do?

Where do I start?

Which one is for me?

Well let’s start with the basics. There are vibrators designed to buzz you on your outsides, clitoral area, and ones to buzz ya on the insides, vaginally or anally. So first step is to decide what are you want to focus on and how intense of a sensation you desire. Some other considerations are size, noise level, and is it a good traveling companion?

Some of the most intense vibrations come from electric vibrators. There are basically two types of these, wand and coil. Wands are powerful, have multi-speeds and look like large plastic flashlights with a vibrating head at one end. The coil type usually has a much higher vibe rate and is smaller, with a pistol grip. Both of these types of toys obviously don't look like something you'd clench between your thighs, but don't let that discourage you from giving them a try. These types of toys can come with a variety of interchangeable plastic attachments for finding all those hard-to-reach places like your G-Spot.

 
 

If you would like your orgasms more portable there is a huge variety of battery-powered vibrators available. Many look phallic, but there are also ones that look nothing at all like a cock. There are vibrators that look like lipstick, chili peppers and butterflies, the list goes on.

A popular favorite is the Pocket Rocket. It is a tiny but powerful "massager" that's only about four inches long. There are also special vibrators designed to fit perfectly between a woman's legs, around the head of a guy's cock, buzz you both at the same time, remote control, the list goes on.

The Flex-O-Pleaser, as an example, has a small battery pack, a long neck, and an intensely vibrating head - just the thing to get to your G-spot, or his prostate.

There is also a variety of materials your vibrator might be made of. Vibrators and dildos used to be plain, hard plastic. They broke, developed stains and cracked. Now there are materials available that are so life-like, so comfortable, that if you couldn't see it, you'd be hard-pressed to tell if it was a live cock or a or your favorite battery buddy. Jelly vibrators can be great fun. They come in vibrant colors, their 'skin' is soft and warm to the touch. One trick I learned when using jellies is to keep them in a plastic bag or store them in a condom, as they have a tendency to collect lint.

There are toys that look like a cock, PLUS! These toys have an extra part that will also stimulate a clit or enter an anus. A unique subdivision of these toys comes from Japan, where traditional sex toys can look like anything but a dick. Some of these wonderful implements of pleasure look like totem poles with the head of a polar bear attached (the bear's tongue working the clit), or the head of a dolphin.

There are other ingenious devices. There are crotch-hugging vibrators - commonly referred to as "butterflies" and they even come in a variation with a remote control. There is even a panty vibrator (literally a wearable vibrator) and the Fukuoku, as seen on television. The Fukuoku is a tiny vibrator designed to fit neatly over the end of a finger, basically turning your digit into a vibrator.

There are vibrators that have so many features that they do everything but walk your dog!
