Buying a vibrator can be a daunting task. These days, there are various categories to choose from – G-spot, bullet, combination, and the best for couples, to name a few – so it’s understandable if you feel a bit overwhelmed. Whether investing in your first-ever sex toy or trying something new, we are here with top tips on what to consider to make the right choice for your needs. Keep reading to find out everything you need to know about vibrators.

What is the Best Type of Vibrator?

Many women struggle to speak about vibrators, let alone discuss which ones to try – that’s where we come in. As sex toys can be created for either internal or external use (or both), your first port of call is to determine how you want to use them. Make your decision based on stimulating yourself or what brings you to orgasm when your partner touches you. This will assist you in finding the best vibrator for your needs.

Opt for an external toy if you tend to achieve orgasm by stimulating the clitoris. Then select a bullet or a vibrator with a sharp tip. Or do you like fingertip touch? If you like the broader contact of a couple of fingers give a magic wand a go – or if penetration is what gets you to climax, select a toy designed for internal use. If you’re not sure or are stimulated by clitoral touch and vaginal penetration, pick a Jack Rabbit Vibrator or combination vibrator that can simultaneously stimulate both areas.

Bullet/clitoral vibrators

If clitoral touch works best for you – as it does for most – then opt for a clitoral vibrator. These come in different shapes and sizes, from discrete bullets that simulate fingertip touch and are excellent for first-timers to wider-based magic wands that tend to be more effective and have a longer-lasting battery.

G-spot/vaginal vibrators

Some women find penetrative sex the easiest way to orgasm or get fun and pleasure. The vaginal vibrator category offers various products, all created for internal use. The classic vaginal vibrator has a curved tip, offering easier G-spot stimulation. Some come in the shape of a fully insertable egg, the end of which sits right on the G-spot. Others are ribbed along the shaft, allowing the raised bumps to pass over the G-spot.

Combination/rabbit vibrators

Combination – or rabbit – vibrators are perfect for women stimulated by clitoral contact and vaginal penetration, reaching what is otherwise known as a blended orgasm. Some hybrid vibrators look like a G-spot vibrator but have a small vibrating rabbit on top. Others are more conceptual, with a shaft and clitoral stimulator – but aren’t as detailed as those with a rabbit. Some are flexible and can be maneuvered into place, allowing for hands-free fun.
