How to Choose a Vibrating Dildo?

Vibrating Dildo vs. a Vibrator

It is a common misconception for people to think that a vibrating dildo is the same as a vibrator, but this is not true. While the vibrating dildo and a vibrator may function similarly as both vibrate, these are completely different sex toys that look very different.

The vibrators usually have smooth surfaces and come in bright colors. Still, many are also packed with other features like clitoral vibrating parts and even rotating mechanisms that spice up the entire experience. Also, vibrators usually have a smooth, non-phallic design that many women find enjoyable.

A vibrating dildo resembles an actual penis, usually with a realistic texture, pronounced glans, and a pair of balls at the base. Vibrating dildos are intended for penetration, be it vaginal or anal, you can use them to stimulate other parts of the body too. In fact, you can also use them to tease nipples, the clit, or any other erogenous zone.

The majority of vibrating dildos are handheld. However, you can find models that are compatible with strap-on harnesses or come with a suction cup for more varied sexual positions and play options. Many models are very realistic and come with testicles for added realism, and if used in the right way, they can deliver some very welcomed additional stimulation on erogenous zones.

Many vibrating dildos come with remote controllers: either a wired remote or a wireless controller for versatile and fun use. It opens new avenues of play when a partner is in charge of the controller.

Vibrating Dildo Types & Styles

Not all vibrating dildos are made the same, and here we’ll list and briefly discuss the main vibrating dildo categories that you can buy and enjoy. Please note that we also include phallic vibrators with extra features in our list, as many of these resemble an actual penis but can vary in color:

• Realistic vibrating dildos with rabbit ears – designed for both penetration and clitoral stimulation, these are rabbit vibrators that have a realistic texture and also have stimulating rabbit ears. You will find these in various colors for a more enjoyable experience.
• Rechargeable suction cup base vibrating dildos – such toys add another dimension to the suction cup dildo by adding vibrations into the mix. Not only can the user try lots of varied positions, but they can control the vibrations to match their climax like it’s a real partner.
• Vibrating strap-on dildos – intended for female use only, strap-on vibrating dildos have a fun and sex design. There are models like the strapless strap-ons that come with a section that sits inside the vagina of the strap-on wearer, and the lifelike portion is used to penetrate their male or female partner.
• Curved rechargeable vibrating dildos – these can be curved to fit women and target the G-spot or can be curved to fit males and target the P-spot.
• Double penetration rechargeable vibrating dildos – these are designed for female use and can be worn as a strap-on. They come with two parts: a smaller one for anal penetration and a larger, penis-looking part intended for vaginal penetration.
• Hollow vibrating strap-on dildo – we have to include this model here, as it is a vibrating dildo, after all. Still, the hollow vibrating dildo is designed with male pleasure in mind: these are realistic-looking dildos, but they are hollow for the man to slide his penis into. It will then give him a much larger penis to satisfy his partner, and the added vibrations can take both partners to a crushing climax.

How to Choose a Great Vibrating Dildo for You

Here are the key points you need to know when selecting a vibrating dildo that will give you hours of fun and satisfying orgasms. Please don’t rush into buying the first model you come across, but heed our advice and consider all the factors that make a quality vibrating dildo:

• Size and shape – make sure the vibrating dildo you get has a realistic design and is large enough but you can still safely use it;
• Material – we suggest you opt for a model made from body-safe materials like silicone and TPE. Select non-porous materials that are waterproof and facilitate cleaning;
• Vibrations – when you select your vibrating dildo, check the number of vibrations and other options that will help you get the stimulation you crave;
• Power unit and controller – we suggest you get a model with a rechargeable battery and a wireless remote, as these are easier and more comfortable to use. However, you can also get a battery-powered unit where you don’t have to wait for the battery to charge; you pop in new batteries, and you’ll be ready to go!

Vibrating Dildo Benefits

Vibrating dildos have many unique benefits that you can enjoy, and here is a quick rundown of what you can expect when you get yourself a vibrating dildo:

• Vaginal workout – you can give your vagina a real workout with a vibrating dildo, as the stretching and undulations from the vibrating dildo will help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. It has a profound positive effect, like improving sexual performance, strengthening orgasms, and even helping with incontinence.
• Deep stimulations – unlike using a regular dildo with in-and-out movements, the vibrating dildo brings vibrations into the mix, so you get a deeper stimulation of your nether region. With that, you can also expect to reach more powerful orgasms!
• Uplifting Mood – it should be common knowledge that orgasms induce hormone production, especially the release of endorphin, or the happiness hormone. Seeing as you are more likely to orgasm with a vibrating dildo than a regular dildo, you are guaranteed to be in a better mood.

Vibrating Dildo Safety Considerations

You need to know a few things regarding the safety of using vibrating dildos. Some of these are common for all sex toys, while some points relate to dildos in particular. We’ve listed the things we think you should know that can be potentially detrimental to using your vibrating dildo:

• Too big model – this is a common issue with many dildo users, as people get overzealous and get a more enormous dildo than they can safely manage. It can cause uncomfortable stretching, and instead of being welcomed, the vibrations can hurt.
• Unsuitable dildo material – another common problem with sex toys is when these are made from materials that are not safe for the body. We recommend you avoid low-grade materials like jelly and opt for quality vibrating dildos made from silicone.
• Incompatible lube – using a vibrating dildo is more comfortable when you use lube, and we must note that you must use lube that is compatible with the material of your vibrating dildo. To avoid possible issues, we recommend you use a quality water-based lube that is compatible with all dildo materials and all skin types.

Vibrating Dildo Use Tips

You can use a vibrating dildo in many of the same scenarios as a regular dildo. However, you get the added benefit of the vibration, as it provides more stimulation and will give you a more profound experience.

If your chosen vibrating dildo model has a suction cup base, then you can use it hands-free and enjoy riding it with the vibrations buzzing inside you. If the model is waterproof, then some shower fun is in order.

Also, you and your partner can use a vibrating dildo with a strap-on harness and use it to spice up your sexy games. If you’ve gotten a pegging vibrating dildo, then you can pleasure your man and stimulate his P-spot while letting the vibrations take him to sensational heights. And it doesn’t matter if one or two extra partners are involved, depending on what you enjoy. The versatility of a vibrating dildo can raise any sexual get-together or solo play super well.

Vibrating Dildo Cleaning & Storage Tips

The vibrating dildo needs the same attention to cleaning and care as a regular dildo. If your model requires it, remove the vibrating mechanism and wash and clean the dildo. If you have a waterproof model, cleaning it is very straightforward, and you can wash it with warm, soapy water and use a sex toy cleaner.

Make sure your vibrating dildo is dry, and you can put it on the charger to charge the battery and have it ready for your next play session. If you don’t plan on using your vibrating dildo anytime soon, don’t charge the battery, but store it in a specialized sex toy storage bag and put it away from other sex toys.
