Things You Should Pay Attention to When Shopping for a Butterfly Vibrator
The name of this vibrator is derived from the butterfly-shaped clit stimulator that it features. Fluttering the “wings” against the clit can deliver impressive, orgasmic sensations. So, here’s how to choose an excellent butterfly vibe:
Type of butterfly vibe: Butterfly vibrators have various designs. So, sort this one out before moving on to other things. All butterfly vibes have a butterfly-like portion made of a flexible material meant to flutter against the clit. Some may also have an insertable portion or an entire dildo-like shape (somewhat like a rabbit vibe). There are also butterfly vibrators that come with a harness. This design aims to keep the vibe in place, allowing you to enjoy it hands-free. It’s up to you to decide if you will focus solely on clitoral stimulation or clit stimulation and penetration.
Butterfly shape and size: The rule here is simple. A good butterfly vibrator usually features a very realistic butterfly shape. It has antennae, body ridges, and wing details. All of these can enhance the stimulating effect. The size is also a thing you’d want to check out. A bigger butterfly is going to stimulate both the clit and the labia. If you choose a smaller shape, you’ll get more targeted vibrations concentrated in the clit region.
Material: As with all toys, non-porous materials are essential. They’re the safest ones since the surface wouldn’t harbor bacteria and would be easy to clean. For a butterfly vibe, it’s a good idea for the wings to be soft, thin, and flexible. This way, the vibrations will translate into stimulating pleasure waves. One of the best materials for butterfly vibrators is medical-grade silicone. It’s safe, flexible, and pleasant to touch or have against your body. Silicone is also long-lived, which gives you many years of good use.
Vibration intensities and settings: Now that we’ve discussed design matters, let’s talk about vibrations. They should be in various settings, allowing you to explore and experiment. Good vibes will enable you to start slow and build the intensity as you go. Check out the number of speed settings to determine if you’ll get a good variety. Some butterfly vibes can also produce different rhythms and patterns. These may also be fun to try, adding something extra to the speed changes.
Controller type: Butterfly vibrators can have three types of controllers. The ones that come with an insertable portion may feature push buttons at the toy's base. Such a feature is standard for handheld toys and allows for single-hand operations. Wireless remote control is also common. It will work well with a harnessed butterfly vibrator. Having the remote in your hand and seeing what you’re doing will simplify adjustments. Finally, some toys can also have a dedicated mobile app for vibration changes. A mobile app is usually quite user-friendly. Also, it allows somebody else to be in charge. If you want your partner to control your vibe remotely occasionally, an app would be the best pick.
Insertable portion characteristics: If you choose a butterfly vibrator with an insertable portion, check out the following. The insertable length and the girth will give you a good idea about the size of the dildo and if it’s a good choice for you. Also, look at the shape. A slight curve is usually added to allow for consistent G-spot stimulation. If you’re choosing a butterfly vibe with an insertable portion, make sure it’s also capable of vibrations. Controlling the speeds of the butterfly and the dildo separately will also be necessary – this is possible whenever two motors power a toy.
Battery characteristics: Like all other vibrating products, a butterfly vibe needs a battery to work. Before buying, check what type of battery the toy has, how long it takes to charge, what kind of charger is needed (and if it’s included in the kit) and how long the toy can operate at the highest intensity before it must be recharged.
Other features: The things mentioned above are most important. The features we’ll list in this section are optional, but some people find them good to have. A waterproof vibe is always a great pick as it can be used just about anywhere, and it can be cleaned easily. Also, you may want to get a butterfly vibe that comes with a pouch or a case and a travel lock. For a wearable vibe, check the material that the harness is made of. Also, ensure that the straps can be adjusted easily to give you a perfect, comfortable fit.
