How do You Measure Sex Toys?
Generally
Length: The vertical length of the toy from the two farthest points. We sometimes refer to this as total length as well.
Width (or diameter): The distance between the two sides of the toy.
Girth (or circumference): The circumference of the toy which is relevant
How Do You Measure Yourself for Vibrators?
To size yourself, you need a tape measure and your fingers to measure the width/girth.
Insert your fingers into the vagina to what is comfortable for you; use lubrication as necessary. Once you have this, measure across your fingers to give you the width/diameter, or you can wrap a soft tape around your fingers to find the circumference/girth.
Girth/circumference size ranges from around 1.5 inches (average male penis) all the way to 2.5 inches for larger vibrators.

Choosing vibrator length is subjective because you can adjust how far you insert it. The female G-spot is only 2 to 3 inches inside the vagina, so longer is not always better.

Sizing for Bullet Vibrators
Bullets are one of the easiest sex toys you can measure
Bullets are designed to be smaller, but they do come with variable girths. These range from just under 2 inches to up to 5 inches in circumference. It is vital not to confuse diameter
Sizing for Butterfly Vibrators
When you want to measure yourself for a butterfly vibe, it is very different from measuring for other vibrator models. In most cases, there is no circumference or length to measure because these vibrators sit nestled against the clitoris and labia/vulva.
The primary measurement you need to focus on is the length from top to bottom of the butterfly vibe, and also the overall width as well. Additionally, there is the thin harness/strap to consider. Although these are adjustable, you do need to check
One other harness measurement is around the top of the thighs. This can be done quickly with a tape measure that you wrap around the top of your leg.
When it comes to measuring for the butterfly vibe, you can measure from the point of your clitoris to the lowest part of the vagina. This will give you the length
Width can be measured from the highest point of the inner thigh as this is where the wings of the butterfly will be resting. Butterfly vibes can be from as small as 2 inches in length, right up to around 4 inches. And for the width, they can span from approximately 1 inch up to 4 inches, depending upon the design.
Sizing for Clitoral Vibrators
Clit vibes are another vibrator type which doesn’t penetrate the vagina and focuses on external stimulation. Measuring for these doesn’t require length or girth/diameter to be measured.
They do come in a few
To measure what you can easily hold, you can find something that you can comfortably wrap your fingers around and that is comfortable to hold in the vaginal area. From this, you can determine the ideal length of the device. Clitoral vibes of this design can range from 2 or 3 inches in length, right up to around 5 or 6 inches.
Sizing for Finger Vibrators
Finger vibes come in a couple of varieties depending on their use. This can mean there are a couple of ways to measure yourself to find the best size for the job.
Finger vibes (which are only meant for erogenous zone stimulation) sit on the fingertips, so there is no penetration. The sizes of these are around 2 inches in length and have a 1 inch diameter. This delivers around a 3 inch girth.
Measuring the finger you will be wearing the finger vibe on isn’t necessary in most cases, and this is because the finger straps are stretchy and fit almost all finger sizes. Depending on the wearer, this can mean they might need to change finger if their middle one is either too large or too small.
Sizing for G-Spot Vibrators
Finding the right size of g-spot vibe doesn’t focus on

Rabbit vibes are unique in how you can measure for their use. There will be a significant portion that isn’t inserted and acts as a handle. Just finding the

Thinner rabbit vibes will come in a range up to approximately 5 inches in girth, while the larger variety can fall into the 7 to 9 inch range for circumference.
Sizing for Rechargeable Vibrators
Sizing yourself for a rechargeable vibrator is no different than a regular vibrator.
Rechargeable vibes can come in lengths from as small as 3 to 4 inches and go all the way to large sizes of approximately 12 inches and above.
Small rechargeable vibes have girths/circumferences which range from 3 inches to 5 inches. Anything above 5 inches in girth falls into
Sizing for Small Vibrators
Not everyone likes the size of large vibrators, so manufacturers developed smaller versions to accommodate different preferences. Even though they’re small, it’s worth knowing the size which will feel good inside your vagina before purchase.
Most small vibrators have
Small vibrators range in circumference from approximately 2 to 3 inches and go up to around a maximum of roughly 6 inches in circumference.
Sizing for Tongue Vibrators
These vibrators come in a couple of varieties, so measuring for these is very different. You can have the type which simulates a tongue, or the kind which sits inside your partner's mouth.
Tongue vibes which are for oral play are shaped like a tongue and in most cases are not used for penetration. However, some are intended to penetrate a couple of inches. To size yourself for this type, you can insert the tips of two or three fingers into your vagina, and then take a tape measure and measure across the width. This gives you the diameter. In most cases, this type of tongue vibe will go on diameter more than girth.
The overall length ranges from around 6 to 7
The type which sits on the tongue or inside the mouth is slightly different. These are the size of a mouth guard. These come in one size and are flexible. Mouth guard sizes are around 2.5 inches in length and 1.75 inches in width, approximately.
Sizing for Vibrating Panties
Vibrating panties come in a couple of varieties. The more common being ones that have a small vibrating unit that sits close to the clitoris for external stimulation. This type is the easiest to size yourself for, mostly because you only need to know your waist size.
Many panties of this nature are
Other vibrating panties come with a short,
Remove your fingers and measure around them with the tape to get the circumference reading. This will be the size of panties (with dildo attachment) that you can comfortably wear.
These come with (small nub) vibrating dildos that are around 3.5 inches in length and range from approximately 2 inches to 4 inches in circumference.
Sizing for Wand Vibrators
Wand vibrators are not designed for penetration, so this makes sizing for these very easy and can be done by yourself in a couple of minutes.
These wands are designed for clitoral and external stimulation. They do come with different sized heads, so knowing which size is suitable can make the experience more pleasurable.
The best way to choose the right head size is by measuring the distance between the top of your thighs across the top of the vulva (the outer part of the vagina). This will give you a minimum distance when your legs are
If you part your legs, you can measure between your thighs. This is the size you would need for a maximum
Manufacturers typically measure the head of the wand vibrators in circumference, but you will have the width or diameter. Take the measurements you have and multiply by 3.14 (pi), and this will give you the circumference. Now you can see what sized (wand vibrating) head will fit comfortably on your clitoris, or further between your legs for alternative stimulation.
