For this guide, I focused on models that clearly combine rotation and vibration, use body-safe materials, and offer different control options.

From a psychological standpoint, men are encouraged to believe that the penis is the pivotal symbol of their worth as men, and that this part of their body is the way to please a woman. There is truth to that. However, for many men, using a vibrator on a woman might feel as if they’ve let her down, needing another tool to satisfy her; that’s not the penis. However, in healthy relationships, both gay and heterosexual types, the vibrator is great for bonding, enhanced play, and extra enjoyment during sexual intercourse. Psychologically speaking, these fun add-ons can actually build relationships. What Are Quiet Vibrators? Thankfully, quiet vibrators have become mainstream and are growing in popularity too. These quiet achievers are now widely available and made for discretion and privacy. Quiet vibrators are the same as vibrators, but they are generally quieter for more user discretion. Purposefully designed to vibrate, they are used internally to allow women and men anal and/or vaginal pleasure. Research has ascertained that only a third of women have ever used a vibrator during intercourse, and only around 40% of heterosexual men have used one, with or without a partner. Although these numbers seem relatively stable, they are still on the low side. Different Types & Styles Vibrators in the discreet vibrators category may be a combination of things. In many cases, some silent vibrators might not look like stereotypical pleasure givers, but sometimes they will. A good example of the not-so-obvious types being the ones with powerful motorized motors, disguising themselves as innocent back massagers, with the added advantage of a humming quietness, despite the appearance. Some might even look like other objects, including lipstick, for example. Most quiet vibrators will be advertised as such, whether they’re for anal, vaginal or clitoral stimulation. They might be small, in the case of butterfly vibrators used for clitoral stimulation, or they might be larger, like bullet vibrators which are made for internal, vaginal stimulation. Whichever type you choose, be aware that they all come in a variety of sizes, models, colors, and designs. You just need to choose your favourite one, or you could buy more than one. Remember, besides their outer appearance, quiet vibrators are made to make minimal noise. A general rule of thumb is that plug-in vibrators are mostly what we’d call whisper-quiet. Additionally, tiny bullet vibrators are also distinctly quieter, and the perfect travel companions too. We’ll let you in on a little secret here: the most discreet vibrators are the ones you can barely see at all. For women, the butterfly sex toys or vibrating balls are the best kept secrets for quietness and discretion. Ssssh, it’s our little secret. Shop Quiet Vibrators ===COLLECTION=== How to Choose the Right Quiet Vibrator for You Shopping for anything can be somewhat difficult, especially if it’s not something you regularly buy. Ask yourself these questions to help with your decision making processes. What area am I trying to stimulate? Is it for solo or partnered pleasure, or both? Will I need to take it on holiday or fit it discreetly in my work bag? Do I prefer battery operated or rechargeable types? Does it come with a discreet case or will I need to buy one? Is it featured as a quiet vibrator in its advertisement? Like any other pleasure product, a sex toy should be well considered and thought out, at least a little. In reality, when you’re investing in a sex toy, you're making an investment in your own personal pleasure. How important is that to you? And do you need extra features to meet your requirements? If so, what are they? Include size and color in your decisions, and then when you see it you’ll know it’s the right choice. Sometimes you might even come across a design that exceeds your expectations, and that can be a whole lot of fun! Remember, before you buy, think about the features that you really want, and decide whether or not you feel best going to a store or making the purchase online. With proper care, before and after use, these toys can last a really long time, and it’s well worth the effort when you’re choosing silent vibrators that feel right for you. Think: size, type, region of pleasure, battery operated or rechargeable, color, and price range. What Are the Benefits Satisfying sex and masturbation actually triggers hormones and wonderful neurotransmitters that help us to feel relaxed, stress free and happy. The other real health benefit is that you’re taking time out for yourself, or maybe it’s to spend quality time with a partner. These are healthy ideals which are necessary for the emotional, mental and physical health of all human beings, as adults. Orgasm is healthy. Remember, orgasm is basically a series of muscle contractions. In women, orgasm can help to keep the pelvic floor muscles to stay in shape, keeping the organs in place and aiding against incontinence too. Sexual activity is exercise, so that’s great for health, and intimacy is good for our relationships, which are also beneficial for our health overall. 2/3 of women can’t orgasm from intercourse alone, so quiet vibrators are the big helper which allows for it to occur. Plus, it’s easier, because the right areas are targeted too. Sensation can be lessened as we grow older. The loss of estrogen in women is known as genitourinary syndrome. There is less circulation in the genital tissues because they get more fragile over time. In essence, this means that women need more stimulation to have an orgasm. Quiet vibrators can fill the gap here, allowing for solo or partnered pleasure, with a quietness that doesn’t interfere with privacy or distract from other simultaneous sexual play, including intercourse. Help to finish the task. Sometimes, during intercourse, partners can become tired or lose their ability to keep going with the same emphasis, just when more stimulation is needed. In these cases, a vibrator is an aid to enhance pleasure and to help achieve that much sought after orgasm during the time of sexual intercourse. A foreplay addition. Bringing a vibrator into a relationship can be very sexy. The addition of this treat for couples can be a fun and very bonding experience. It can be used to tease, warm up, or give pleasure to make it to the end game. It’s the most exciting adventure for the partner who likes to be the giver of pleasure too. A visual prop in relationships. Just showing a partner the vibrator can tell them that it’s time for intimacy. Sometimes having time for experimentation can be just what a relationship needs, to give it a little boost that it needs. Unfortunately, if you don’t use it, you lose it. The human body is made up of muscles, and when they’re not used they can become out of tone and lose their elasticity. The use of muscles in the vagina during contractions and during orgasm, allows for lubrication and toning of the walls. During the physical changes of menopause there is lessened estrogen, which unfortunately means extra dryness and the loss of elasticity, both of which can make for discomfort. If a woman is not sexually active through stimulation, there’s less blood circulation to the genital tissues. In men, blood flow is also important in sustaining tissue blood flow. Some Safety Considerations Phthalates warning. Be aware of phthalates in the soft plastic and jelly versions of quiet vibrators. Most manufacturers won’t use them nowadays, but it’s well worth buying a brand that’s reputable, especially for health’s sake. These phthalates are softeners and they're in lots of different types of plastic. Unfortunately, there is some evidence that phthalates can cause problems, and this is with regard to the male reproductive system. In laboratory testing, it was found that extremely high amounts could cause damage to the liver, lungs, kidneys, endocrine system, and testes in men. Many men use these vibrators for anal play, in homosexual and heterosexual relationships, as well as solo in terms of masturbation. In other studies, for both men and women, it seems that heavy usage for around an hour per day was not seen to be associated with any major health risks, except for pregnant and breastfeeding women who should abstain from heavy usage. But other studies came up with major issues for men. Thankfully, most reputable sex toy makers made the decision to stop using phthalates because of public concerns and "phthalate-free" is a major draw card used on many product labels. Jelly toys can hold germs. Be aware that the jelly-like versions of quiet vibrators are harder to clean, and that’s mostly because they're quite porous. So dust, dirt and bacteria can get trapped in the surface and live inside the product. You can cover these products with a condom, and use a specially-made cleaning solution before and after use. Never share your toys, bacterial infections and sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) are not fun to contract or deal with. Quiet vibrators made of other materials are easier to clean, but with this factor it also means that they tend to cost a bit more, and the condom idea is great if you like the feel of the jelly-like ones. However, if you’re in the market to spend a little more, you’ll still need to maintain your quiet vibrators with great cleaning regimes, before and after use, and by storing them in a cool and dry place that’s out of direct sunlight. Nonporous, quiet vibrators will be made of hard plastic, metal or silicone. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning, and always store them out of sunlight and preferably covered in a dust free case. You may also use a soft cloth to wrap them in; just make sure it’s clean and dry. Cleaning & Storage Tips Clean them regularly. Check them regularly for damage. Use the right lube. Water based lubricants are best. Store them properly. In a clean case or wrapped up in a clean and dry soft cloth. Replace them occasionally. Most toys will last for a year, depending upon their quality. They can get compromised structurally over time, which means they can become more porous and be ineffective too. Keep them dry. Always wash and thoroughly dry your toys after use to prevent these germs and/or mold from growing and multiplying on and in them. Common Questions People Ask How do I use extra quiet vibrators to give myself an orgasm? Relax first, and then start off slow. In essence, you can get to know your extra quiet vibrator and your body too. Touch the vibrator to parts of your body, like the nipples and then move on to your legs and down to your genitals. Discover what feels amazing, and then keep doing it. Let your arousal build up and let yourself discover your pleasure zones. Tease first, then allow yourself to be internally stimulated as well, if that’s what you want. Some vibrators only target the clitoris, so you can achieve orgasm without penetration, for ladies. Men might like to use vibrators to stimulate their own or their partner’s bodies. Always use the right vibrators as specified by the manufacturer’s instructions. E.g. anal vibrators for anal stimulation, bullet vibrators for vaginal stimulation, etc. To be honest, there really isn't any right or wrong way to use a vibrator or to bring yourself to the perfect ‘O.’ The vibrator is a tool to help you stimulate yourself and you’ll need to work on finding out how to best achieve the end game. You’re in control, and so you may use it in the way that feels best to you. Try to get relaxed and turned on before you actually switch the vibrator on. You can use visual aids or make out with your partner. Experiment and try its different features, touching multiple regions around the genitals to see what the vibrations feel like. Try clitoral stimulation, and remember that the labia and vulva are also very sensitive. If your vibrator is the insertable type, give that a go, or let your partner help you. Many females and males find that penetration and vibration inside the vagina and/or anus is very enjoyable. If you're a guy who’s trying a vibrator, stroke it along the shaft of your penis and hold it against your glans and the head of your penis too. If this is too intense, try placing the vibrator at the base of your scrotum or pressing it against your perineum. Just make sure your vibrator is made for anal stimulation, if that’s the goal, because these types will be made to not get stuck or lost in the anal cavity. Remember, safety first, always. Now, when you know what feels good, keep doing it for a while. Remember to really relax, and let yourself build the pleasure with your new-found toy. After you climax, take a break and go again if you like, using the vibrator at a lessened intensity to build up momentum again, or if you’re particularly sensitive. Sometimes taking the time to get there is the most fun part of your journey. Can I use my vibrator anally? Most penis-shaped vibrators can be inserted into the anus, but you shouldn’t insert anything that doesn’t have a flange or a flared base at the bottom that will keep it from going all of the way inside you. As a safety precaution, it’s important to note: if a quiet vibrator does go all the way into your rectum, it can get stuck in your colon, and you may require medical attention to get it out. Buy anal vibrators that are specifically designed for that type of activity, then you’ll enjoy the stimulation without the added risk factors.

While it might appear that small vibrators are only for beginners, this is very far from the truth. These smaller, vibrating devices are made for discretion as much as they are for users who are new to the world of sex toys. Most often, these come in the variety of bullet vibrators. However, there are plenty of variations on this to add further stimulation and uses, and they can be used for foreplay or during intercourse between couples. Additionally, they are ideal for solo masturbation. These are also suitable for both genders, so men have no worry about feeling left out. Some of the smallest you can find are finger vibrators, which sit on the finger, and this adds and another dimension to finger masturbation be it vaginal or anal. Manufacturers have taken small vibrators to heart and have come up with unique, well made designs. These are super discreet and will never be spotted inside a handbag or pocket. This being said, there are also plenty of designs of regularly-sized vibrators and these have been shrunk into their miniature forms. What they lack in size, they certainly don’t lack in performance abilities. Types of Small Vibrators While being designed to be compact, all mini vibrators are designed for genital stimulation. Because of their size, they are most often run from batteries, rather than being rechargeable. While browsing, you can see there are basically two branches of type, one that stimulates the clitoris and one type which is used for insertion of the vagina or providing anal stimulation. Bullet vibrators can come remote controlled, but in many cases, this is a corded remote rather than wireless. One other thing to note is: that none of these small vibrators are used as a means of replicating sexual intercourse. A small vibrator such as the bullet is designed to sit inside the vagina, whereas the vibrating unit is used to stimulate the G-spot. This can be increased and decreased as desired from the control. Models which are designed for clitoral stimulation can come in many designs such as the finger vibrator. There are others such as rabbit vibrators, wand vibrators, G-spot stimulators, and even some that are shaped like a lipstick. Other models come with unique designs where they have small and circular areas that sit around the clitoris, or they can be used on nipples to send shudders through other body parts. And, other types of small vibrators include the ones which sit inside panties and nestle against the clitoris and just inside the vagina. These, in most cases, come with wireless remotes to save having the cord hanging out of your panties. One last type of small vibrator is so discreet, you can even wear them. These come in the form of a necklace and are similar to the size of a ballpoint pen. These are designed with pleasure, discretion and travel in mind. How to Choose Mini Vibrator for You It can seem strange to say size is a consideration when choosing a mini vibrator, but it does need consideration. Much of this is down to how you will be using your vibrator. Externally or internally makes a huge difference. Mini vibrators reach a maximum length of 6 inches so they can be small enough for any new user, but once you want to be discreet, then things change. With ones that can be worn around the neck, to ones shaped like a lipstick, you have added secrecy, and no one will know how you spend your evenings. After your size considerations are taken care of, you need to think of materials. At this stage, you should also know that there are a few manufacturers who still use toxic chemicals in their sex toys, so making sure they are rated as “body safe” is vital, no matter how simple or how small your vibrator is. These toxic chemicals can quickly lead to itching or rashes when used, and they are the last things you want rubbing your clitoral region or resting on your vulva, or placed inside your vagina. Plastic mini vibrators can deliver more stimulation than rubber or silicone, but even with their small size, they can be noisy. If you want to be quiet, or you want a softer touch, you’re better going for silicone creations. And this is because silicone has the added advantage of being durable and body safe. What Are the Benefits of Discreet Vibrators? Benefits are; they are much cheaper than larger vibrators. Discreet vibrators are great for anyone who is experimenting with sex toys, and they can be carried around without anyone noticing too. On the sexual side, they can deliver a mighty punch and size shouldn’t be a reason not to purchase one. With a small, external, discreet vibrator, you can tease the clitoris in the best way you know possible, and in a way that no partner can. Small finger discreet vibrators can help to relieve stress and make the mood much better, and you can still orgasm just as easy in most instances. Big is not always better. There are lots of women who find larger vibrators bulky and difficult to use, and this is why discreet vibrators are the easiest sex toys to use for women. They also come with a lower lube requirement which is a good thing. One final benefit is; these discreet vibrators come with better battery efficiency. Where you might need two batteries in a more massive vibrator, a discreet vibrator will give you twice as long to enjoy yourself, and while using the same number of batteries. Discreet vibrators are also much easier to clean and store than their larger counterparts. Shop Small Vibrators ===COLLECTION=== Some Safety Considerations Small vibrators are pretty safe when in use, but plenty are produced as being a novelty. These won’t be manufactured to higher degrees of durability as larger vibrators are. Most of the safety considerations come from battery care or if they’re rechargeable. Unless the manufacturer states explicitly that these small vibrators are for use in water, neither a battery nor a small rechargeable vibrator should be used in the bath or shower. Even when classed as water resistant, they are not sufficient for exposure to extended periods of water. Battery-type small vibrators should always have their batteries removed between uses as these can leak if left for extended periods. Also, they could be prone to turning on when you least expect them to. Another safety consideration is the type of lubricant you use. Silicone oil should never be used on small silicone vibrators as it can break the material down. If you’re unsure, always stick to using a water based lubricant. One of the most important things users of small vibrators need to be aware of is the size. These won’t have flared bases and are not large enough for anal use. These can quickly be sucked into the rectum where they become difficult to remove. So, if you want to purchase a toy for anal, buy the right type for that. Usage Advice and Tips A small vibrator can be used in lots of situations. They are a fantastic addition for solo play when using fingers for vaginal masturbation. With a small vibrator, you can use these in any location around the home, or any other place you feel like some naughty fun. If using with a partner, a small vibrator can be a fantastic way to deliver lots of clitoral stimulation while your partner is thrusting into the vagina. These small vibrators that sit on fingers can be used by your partner during foreplay, and there’s nothing to say that they’re only to be used for solo masturbation. If you have a female partner, it can be pleasing to both to use one of these small vibrators on each other, especially when they’re the finger type. They allow for up close and intimate sessions with lots of stimulation. Because these small vibrators are so small and discreet, they can be used when traveling or at work. It’s imagination that can be the limiting factor. Even the small panty vibrators can be worn while out on the town, or while doing the grocery shopping. Sounds fun, right? One final place these small vibrators can be used is on your male partner. A finger vibrator or two can help stimulate his penis as you’re caressing him with your fingers. Or, you can tease under his scrotum for an instant reaction. Cleaning & Storage Tips Any vibrating unit must be removed before cleaning, and at the same time remove any batteries before storing. The outer case of the vibrating unit should be wiped with an antibacterial wipe and then dried before placing in a secure pouch. Batteries should be kept separately and away from any part of the motor or the small vibrator. Small vibrators can be easier to clean when compared to larger vibrators, but the cleaning and care processes will be the same. Because of the way silicone is constructed, it is durable, but it does definitely need checking for any cuts or lacerations if yours is made from that material. This is true for finger vibrators too, as it only takes a sharp fingernail to cut the skin of the silicone. As much as silicone can help prevent bacterial growth, it isn't able to stop that growth altogether. Small vibrators do need cleaning before and after use. This is a given, and just because they are smaller, these steps should never be forgotten. Washing under warm water with antibacterial soap is the easiest way to clean your small vibrator, but always check the manufacturer’s requirements to be sure. This can be bar soap or antibacterial dishwashing soap. If you have a clean, small vibrator and the surface feels sticky, there’s nothing wrong with this because it’s one of the natures of silicone. From here, just cover it in renewal powder before placing it into a secure protective pouch. You should then store it in a box that can be put out of the sunlight and that’s cool and dry. Batteries should also be stored in the same conditions because they can leak if exposed for extended periods. Common Questions People Ask I was looking at buying a discreet vibrator and was wondering about replacement batteries. What size do they take? This will depend on the size of the small vibrator; some use AA batteries while there are even smaller vibrators that use the same sorts of batteries as you find in watches. When it comes to changing the batteries, if they use AA ones, you can buy rechargeable batteries which are more cost-effective. However, you won’t be able to purchase rechargeable watch batteries. Can I use a finger vibrator for prostate massage? In theory, you can, but it isn’t advisable. These only sit on the end of the finger. And so, as soon as you insert this into the rectum, you will have a hard time sliding your finger out with the finger vibrator still in place. Plus, they’re not designed for this use. Which is the best, a discreet vibrator that sits in the vagina, or a clitoral vibrator? A lot of this depends on the user. Some women are unable to orgasm through vaginal penetration alone, so it makes little sense to use a vibrator that’s only used for penetration. Small clitoral vibrators can be a bit more versatile and used in other scenarios too. Additionally, you can increase or decrease the pressure against the clitoris to increase or decrease the sensations you give yourself (or your partner). Will a small panty vibrator slip inside my vagina if it is smaller? No, even though these small panty vibrators may be much smaller than their larger counterparts (such as the ones in vibrating panties), it is only the vibrating unit that will be smaller. The flared part will still be big enough to prevent it from buzzing its way upward. Buy from a reputable seller, always.
