10 Things Your Vibrator Can Help With That You Wouldn’t Expect

What is a suction vibrator (or, as most of us will call them clitoral stimulator or suction toys) and how does it work? Well, suction toys use the power of air (or sonic waves, in one case) to create a highly stimulating sensation on and around the clitoris. As you may or may not know, the clitoris is a bigger-on-the-inside marvel of biological machinery that people with vulvas have.

She suggests reading the directions (yes, many sex toys have directions — read them!) and cleaning them after every use. It’s also crucial to communicate with your partner if they’re using the toy too roughly. The Duo 2 is a unique premium rabbit sex toy – a Pleasure Air clitoral stimulator and powerful G-Spot dual vibrator combined to create advanced, blended orgasms. Lawless also thinks there are other products that may have been designed with older adults specifically in mind, but that don’t necessarily market to them specifically.

Waterproof and app-enabled, it offers two motors and two control tracks to control both the clitoral stimulator and G-spot stimulation. And while you might have found your way around your own clitoris (or guided a few partners through the Do’s and Don’ts), it’s totally normal for the clit to take a bit of time to reach full arousal. “Remember that it takes, on average, minutes of stimulation and foreplay before a woman is fully aroused,” Serra says. Vibe uses UltraWave Vibration, which “combines low-frequency, rumbly vibrations with 10 powerful, harmonic resonances,” the brand explains. The stimulation is described as intense but gentle, and the whole experience should be smooth and sexy without ever crossing the line into too much. Vibe also offers three autopilot modes that last for 10 minutes each, letting you take a full journey into pleasure.

The ergonomic design and soft silicone construction ensure comfortable wearability, while the remote control feature allows for effortless operation. With its whisper-quiet motor and versatile stimulation options, the Magic Nyx is an essential companion for spontaneous encounters and thrilling escapades. As it would turn out, the best beginner’s wand vibrator is also one of the most high-tech—but precisely because that tech’s benefits are so effortlessly accessed by the user. We-Vibe’s Wand 2 uses haptic technology, which is just a fancier way of saying that it will respond to pressure from your hand or body with equally-intense vibrations.

This petite style of vibe , as its name suggests, is small and shaped like a bullet. These are useful for stimulating any external spot that likes vibration, and can fit into small spaces between bodies, making them ideal for pairing with penetrative sex or using with a dildo or strap-on. Usually these vibes are on the weaker side, because their limited size makes it hard to cram a high-powered motor inside, but there are some exceptions.

With its dual motors, multiple vibration settings, and a flexible design, it covers all the bases. It’s like finding out your favorite dive bar has the best cocktails in town. This bad boy syncs with an app, allowing you to fine-tune your pleasure to the ninth degree.

We would recommend these models viberators, which are typically priced around $90, to experienced sex-toy connoisseurs looking for something different, rather than to newbies shopping for their first vibrator. The Womanizer OG is a wand with a larger suction mouth designed for internal (G-spot) stimulation, though it can also be used externally. However, some customer reviewers who say they have large clitorises, prefer more gentle stimulation, or like a longer handle say they’ve found this toy to be good for external stimulation.

To this day, I have friends, of all ages and relationship statuses, who can only orgasm when using a Womanizer product, and I’m sure the Enhance will continue that pattern. Sexual violence isn’t an uncommon experience, and even though we’ve made strides in talking about it, we still don’t talk much about its after-effects. After experiencing sexual trauma, many people experience a range of sexual difficulties, including — but certainly not only — sexual avoidance.
