When it comes to sex toys, there’s no one-size-fits-all. It’s important to take your time to figure out how each vibrator feels and what you like best.
Masturbating alone and with a partner can help you discover your pleasure preferences and trigger mood-boosting hormones. It’s also a great way to relieve stress and tension in the vulva.
1. It feels like a massage
Vibrators are a great tool for bringing on orgasms, especially when used with a partner(s) who can appreciate it. They can also relieve stress by triggering the release of feel-good endorphins and mood-enhancing chemicals like dopamine and oxytocin, helping you relax into pleasure.
But the sensations vibrators can provide are highly subjective. A toy’s design ultimately impacts the type(s) of sensations it provides, and everyone’s anatomy is different. Plus, your sensitivity to vibration can change over time.
So the best way to find out how your vibrator feels is to try it for yourself! If you’re new to the world of sex toys, consider starting with a bullet vibe. They’re small, discreet, and easy to get comfortable with. Just remember to use a good quality lube and be mindful of the fact that you’re stimulating your vaginal opening, clitoris, and other sensitive areas.
Using vibrators on different parts of the body, including the prostate, opens up new avenues of pleasure. If you want to orgasm by stroking, try a rabbit or a G-spot-oriented vibe with clit sucking action (like the Hot Octopuss Kurve). Just be sure your partner is cool with it — if they aren’t, communicate and find out what else brings them pleasure.
2. It feels like a tingle
When you first start using a vibrator, it may feel pretty intense (or maybe even a little bit too much). This is totally normal! If it’s your first time, try a few low-speed settings and then see where it feels best on you. You can also experiment with different ways of holding the toy or putting it inside you, as the sensations can be very personal and unique to each person. If you find that your vibrator is too intense, slow down or even stop using it for a while. This will allow you to re-acclimate and make it feel comfortable again.
Vibrators can also help you discover your pleasure zones and create a whole new world of orgasms. They can be incredibly powerful when used internally or on the outside of your body, but they’re even more exciting when you use them between your legs (the classic position) or under your clothes!
However, it is important to note that frequent vibrator use can desensitize your clitoris, causing it to become less sensitive. This numbing effect is called dead vagina syndrome or DVS, and it can be a sign that you’re overusing your sex toy. Luckily, sex therapists agree that this side effect should only last for a few minutes, and your clitoris will be back to normal in no time.
3. It feels like a buzz
Vibrators come in a variety of intensities, shapes and price points—all designed to help you experience pleasure. But it’s important to remember that no sex toy is going to do wonders for you if you don’t know your body’s sensitive and pleasurable areas, or have an open and honest conversation with your partner about the types of sensations they enjoy.
While a vibrator can provide many different feelings, its most common and powerful sensation is the buzzing sensation that it creates. This is primarily felt when inserted into erogenous zones, like the G-spot or vaginal opening. When paired with clitoral stimulation, the buzz from these vibes can feel even more intense.
Dame, the company behind supersoft silicone vibes like their Dip model, specializes in these types of vibes that mimic clitoral stimulation. And while the company’s founders aren’t trying to replicate human sex, they believe that their products can bring you closer to it than ever before.
While the best way to figure out how a particular vibe feels is to try it, it’s also worth noting that the feeling of a vibration can be altered by using lube. It’s important to use a lubricant that is compatible with the type of vibe you are using, as well as the erogenous zone you are stimulating. This will ensure that your new toy doesn’t tug or pull on the area unnecessarily.
4. It feels like a vibration
A vibrator is basically a little motor with different intensities and settings. They come in all shapes and sizes with a wide variety of materials, intensities, and price points. Like Goldilocks, some are too this, others are too that, but if you find the right one for you, it can feel like the ultimate pleasure toy.
Vibrators are great for increasing lubrication and enhancing orgasms, especially during penetrative sex. They also help bridge the gap between the orgasms you experience when masturbating alone and when you’re with your partner.
Remember, however, that no sex toy can replace your partner—especially when it comes to sexual pleasure. Communicating with your partner is key. If they aren’t feeling the same sensations as you, it’s important to communicate that so you can switch things up.
If you’re just starting out with a vibrator, we suggest playing with it first in a non-sexual way before bringing it into the bedroom. If you have a sensitive clitoris, we recommend using a water-based lube for added comfort and to avoid friction. Remember, it’s always a good idea to consult your doctor if you are experiencing pain or discomfort with a vibrator—even if it feels like a sensation you love. They’ll perform a pelvic examination to make sure it’s not caused by any underlying medical issues.
