New to Sex Toys? These Intuitive Vibrators Are Perfect for Beginners
If clitoral stimulation works best for you, then start with one of our best bullet vibrators. These come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from discreet bullets that mimic fingertip touch to magic wands that tend to be more powerful and have a longer-lasting battery. “[The handle] has a bit of a curve, so it can get around a bigger body more easily,” she says. Other perks include its extra-large head, waterproof design viberators, and 50 total settings (when you combine its five speeds and 10 vibration patterns).
After a few glasses of wine, I worked up the courage to do the asking. Of these three wands, the Doxy is the one that’s corded (though both Hitachi and Le Wand have corded options, too). While it almost seems archaic to have a wired toy, I see the appeal of using the Doxy. Hitachi’s vibration patterns range from a consistent vibration to a quick pulse to a rev-up-to-slow-down and repeat. The Doxy is the least expensive toy as it starts at just under $120, $15 less than Hitachi. One benefit of the Doxy, however, is that it’s highly customizable from the head to the collar to the buttons to the color of the wand itself.
A whisper-quiet, lay-on vibrator, the rumbly Womanizer Vibe is uniquely curved to cup your entire vulva.. You can use the broad side’s edges or the pointed tip to directly target your clitoris, Shamyra Howard, PhD, CST, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker and AASECT-certified sex therapist, tells SELF. “Its noiseless feature makes it quieter than many other vibes, which allows you to stay focused on the many intense sensations,” she says.
The classic design combines flexible ears that tickle the clit with a curved vibrating arm that pulses against the G-spot. As a bonus , each arm has its own motor, so you can control them separately. Plus, it has a travel lock, which is “great if you’re a traveler and don’t want to run into any surprises at TSA,” Dr. O’Reilly says.
Even if you don’t struggle to have an orgasm, but just want more data on the ones you have, this is your best bet. Of course, you’ll have to be OK with using a vibrator that collects anonymous data about you. With five speed settings and seven vibration pattern options, it’ll work for most people’s stimulation preferences. The soft-touch silicone and jewel-toned color makes it look far more sophisticated than many inexpensive plastic vibrators out there. For obvious reasons, finding an appropriate and enjoyable toy for that period just after you’ve had a baby can be challenging.
