Things to Consider When Shopping for Vibrators for Beginners
Don’t just choose a vibrator based on how cool the design looks. You need to check out several practical things before buying, the most important ones including:
Size: This feature is essential for everyone but even for beginners. Smaller is better when using sex toys for the first time. While many of those are crafted from flesh-like, flexible materials, they aren’t the same as the human body. Also, the vibrations add to the intensity of use. You don’t need a huge vibe to enjoy yourself and have some of the most earth-shattering orgasms ever. When looking at the dimensions, always check the length and the girth. For beginners, the thickness is usually the most important parameter, and you should never go overboard with it.
Internal or external stimulation (or both): The term vibrator is very general – there are many different models for both men and women. Vibrators can be divided in two main categories: those that provide internal stimulation and the ones that can be used externally. If you know your body well, you can decide on the type of vibrator that will give you the most pleasure. And if you’re looking for something extra, choose a rabbit vibe. Its design allows simultaneous internal and external stimulation for some of the most intense and prolonged orgasms.
Material: Good materials guarantee the safety, longevity, and realism of vibrators. The suitable material will simplify the process of cleaning your vibrator and it will also make the item much more user-friendly. Regarding the sex toy golden standard, platinum-cured medical-grade silicone is the ultimate choice. While it’s a bit more expensive than other materials, silicone will yield the best price-to-quality ratio. Materials like Fanta Flesh and Cyberskin provide an alternative that feels very flesh-like and realistic. Usually, however, these materials are reserved for dildos, and you’ll find very few vibes crafted from them. Avoid porous materials like jelly and rubber – they aren’t suitable, and they’re not safe.
Vibration speeds and patterns: Most quality vibrators give you two vibration features – speed and pattern. Changing the speed will determine the intensity of the experience. The patterns consist of different pulsations, vibrations, and tapping sensations. They’re fun to use as they’ll vary the stimulation. Having both of those will give you a good range of features to choose from, depending on what you’d like to experience in that moment and how fast you’d like to come. As a bonus, you may consider getting an internal vibrator capable of thrusting. These products deliver the ultimate sex-like experience, and they can make stimulation much more thorough.
Controller: Usually, insertable vibes for internal stimulation come with buttons on the handle. This controller type is intuitive, and it lets you use the vibe with a single hand. If buttons aren’t your thing, there are two alternatives. Vibrators with a wireless remote are functional and user-friendly. The same applies to vibrators that have their dedicated app. As a bonus, these controller types make it easy to get a partner involved in the experience, whether in the room or on another continent. If they have internet connectivity, a mobile app will give them the power to control a vibe that’s located many, many miles away.
Noise level: Vibrators are powered by a motor. As such, they can be very noisy. Those who want to use such an item discretely will need some information on loudness. A vibrator can be powerful yet silent. Some of the products on the market even have a whisper-quiet mode intended to deliver the most satisfying and discrete experience.
Battery type: As there’s a motor inside, a vibrator will need a power source. Today, that source of power is most often a li-ion rechargeable battery. To pick the right one, check the continuous run time and the charging time. These two will give you a good idea about whether the vibrator matches your lifestyle and the frequency with which you plan to use it.
Ease of cleaning and maintenance: As a newbie, you probably don’t have a lot of sex toy cleaning experience. Look for a vibrator that’s easy to wash and sanitize. For that purpose, prioritize products that are waterproof and submersible. Also, keep in mind that some materials require the use of renewal powder after getting washed. Otherwise, they may become sticky. If you don’t know how to handle such vibrators, avoid those materials. Silicone is a good choice when it comes to easy maintenance. As it is non-porous and waterproof, silicone can be cleaned with water and anti-bacterial soap. It dries quickly and doesn’t have super special storage requirements.

Types of Vibrators
A classic vibrator (also known as a G-spot vibrator) is just one of the choices, but there are so many additional choices. Some of the most popular ones include:
Rabbit vibrators: A rabbit vibe has an arm inside the vagina to stimulate the G-spot and a section that looks like rabbit ears and flickers against the clit. It gives you the best of both worlds, producing irresistible internal and external stimulation. Some rabbit vibes have an inner shaft capable of producing come-hither motion for the most satisfying G-spot massage ever.
Clitoral vibrators: The name says it all. Clitoral vibes can either vibrate directly against the clit, or they may rely on gentle contact-free suction to feel very close to oral sex. Both varieties are highly satisfying. It’s simply a matter of deciding what type of stimulation and intensity you enjoy the most.
Wand vibrators: Usually the most powerful vibrator on the market, the wand delivers unparalleled intensity and versatility. It can be used to massage every body part and every erogenous zone. A wand vibe is meant for external use but some of them have add-ons to transform the head. This kind of vibrator is also 100 percent unisex. Wand vibrators are usually corded because they need a consistent power source to deliver their mighty intensity. However, manufacturers have also started releasing cord-free varieties powered by rechargeable batteries. These wand vibes are as powerful as their corded counterparts and deliver added ease of use.
Bullet vibrators: Super compact and portable, bullet vibes are perfect for those who enjoy the pleasure on the go. The small size doesn’t interfere with the intensity of the vibrations – some bullet vibes are pretty potent. This is another versatile product you can apply to any erogenous zone imaginable.
Vibrators for couples: Some vibrators on the market are meant to be worn during penetrative sex. They deliver pleasurable pulsations against the penis while stimulating the clit in various positions. A few vibrators for couples are meant to go inside the vagina, increasing a lover’s ability to stimulate the G-spot.
Finger vibrators: Another tiny option, a finger or a wearable vibe is easy to use and very travel-friendly. It’s mainly designed for external (clitoral stimulation). But like many other varieties mentioned here, the finger vibe can be incorporated into any aspect of foreplay or sex.
These are the most common categories, but they’re not the only ones. Anal vibrators, vibrating panties, and tongue-and-licking vibes also exist. As you can see, there are many different experiences and designs to correspond to all kinds of lifestyles. Don’t just settle for the vibe others are having fun with and recommending. Take some time to explore the niche choices, especially if you want to experience something very specific. Chances are that a company has already manufactured a great vibrator for that purpose.
