Vibrators are a commonplace sex toy that uses electric vibrations to stimulate a range of locations on your body. They come in different shapes and sizes, from pocket-sized to wearable.
Whether you’re using a vibrator for pleasure or as part of your sex routine, it’s important to know how to use it properly so you can get the most out of your experience.
Start with the clitoris
The clitoris is a very special part of the body, and every woman’s responds differently to stimulation. So it’s important to figure out what kind of touch is pleasurable for you before reaching for a vibrator.
Before you even reach for a vibrator, it’s best to use your fingers to explore the area around your clitoris. You can use a gentle circular motion or rocking motion to stimulate the area. It’s also important to apply a little lube to the area, which can help decrease friction and make it easier for you to feel the sensations.
You can also use your tongue to stimulate the clitoris. This can be a very pleasurable experience and it’s easy to do with your partner’s help. It’s also natural for your tongue to lubricate itself, making it much more comfortable.
Once you’ve discovered a rhythm that works for both of you, use your vibrator to add some fun to your sex. Start with light taps, and then gradually increase the intensity to trigger more intense orgasms.
When using your vibrator, it’s important to keep in mind that the clitoris is very sensitive and can get easily irritated by too much pressure. The clitoris is also very vulnerable to numbing, or “dead vagina syndrome,” after intense stimulation with a vibrator or sex toy.
So before grabbing your vibrator, take a look at how you stimulate the area with your fingers and other erogenous zones, such as the breasts or nipples. That way, you’ll have a baseline to work from and know how much pressure is too much for you.
Another option is to try a bullet vibrator, which are small and designed to be held between your fingers like a pen. Their pinpointed vibrations can allow you to really dig in and touch your vulva’s sweet spots, which are often more receptive on one side than the other.
Once you’ve found a rhythm that feels good to you, it’s time to move on to the rest of your genitals and other parts of your body. Your lips, neck and thighs are all other areas that can be very rewarding to use a vibrator on.
Move it around your genitals
The best way to get the most out of your sex toy is to spend some time getting to know it and figuring out what feels good for you. The key is to find the perfect combination of vibrations and intensity, says SELF senior writer Carly S. If you’re a seasoned pro, you probably have a good feel for what your body needs to be stimulated and what doesn’t.
When it comes to the best kind of sex toy for you, experts say go with a nonporous material like silicone or an acrylic. They’re not only easy to clean, but also don’t suck up bacteria like porous toys do.
One of the most impressive things about vibrators is that they can stimulate a variety of erogenous zones, including your clitoris, vulva, and nipples. Using your sex toy in the right ways will help you achieve that next level of euphoria you’ve been dreaming of. The newest toys can even be used for anal stimulation, as long as the manufacturer offers an anal safe version of your favorite vaginal stimulator. The most important part is to be patient and have a lot of fun with it! Luckily, there are plenty of products to choose from.
Try it on your nipples
Nipple stimulation can be a fun, exciting way to enhance your sexual experience. Not only can it help you climax, but it may also be good for your health in the long run. Orgasms can release happiness-promoting chemicals in your brain, which can reduce your risk for cardiovascular issues later in life.
If you’re new to nipple play, it may take some trial and error before you find the right sensations for you. Depending on your sensitivity, a vibrator or nipple clamps may be the best way to get started.
First, try stroking your nipples with the vibrator or clamps until you feel them getting hard and aroused. Then, slowly move the device around your nipples and clitoris to see how it feels.
Once you feel comfortable with this, it’s time to start playing. You’ll want to experiment with a variety of different intensities and positions. This will give you a good idea of how much pressure your nipples are sensitive to and what sensations you prefer.
Toys can also be a great addition to your nipple play. Some toys, such as the Lovense Hyphy, have very rumbly vibrations that are perfect for nipple manipulation. They’re also very easy to use. Turn it on, cup its mouth over your clitoris, and adjust the angle so that it seals to your body.
There are many different kinds of sex toys out there, so be sure to experiment until you find one that’s right for you and your partner. Some of them are soft, like this LELO suede whip, while others are firm and stinging, such as this feather teaser.
You can even use nipple suckers to add some extra arousal to your nipple play! These small toys can be placed over your nipples and left for as long as you like. They can be very arousing, especially with a little bit of water-based lube applied to them.
Nipple sucking can also be really arousing, and it’s an excellent way to introduce your partner to nipple stimulation. Just be sure that your nipples are sensitive enough to receive a nipple sucker before you start to play!
Try it on your neck
There’s no denying that vibrators are the newest, coolest sex toy on the market. And you probably know that vibrators aren’t just for the bedroom, they can also help with muscle pain or achy joints.
They’re the perfect addition to a bedroom toolbox and are easy to find at your local pharmacy or drugstore, as well as online. The best part is that there’s no wrong way to use a vibrator, so it’s a good idea to experiment until you discover what works for you and your partner.
For a fun spin on the standard back massager, try putting it around your neck and giving it a little shake. It should have enough power to make your clitoris and labia rattle a bit, but not so much that it makes you dizzy.
You can also put your favorite Magic Wand to work if you have one lying around or you’re willing to splurge on a branded neck toy. It should be comfortable, but you might want to add some lube on top to cut down on friction as you move it around.
You may also want to consider a handheld massager if you have one on hand or you want to save money by not having to buy one of those expensive vibrating neck toys. They’re also easy to clean and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The best ones are battery operated and waterproof, so you can take them on the go. They are also usually a little more fun to play with than the standard back massager, so you might have more of a thrill.
