Beginner's Guide to Sex Toy Vibrators

A beginner to sex toys may feel intimidated with all the options available. There are many types of sex toy vibrators. Which is the best for you? Outlined in this article are the many types of vibrators and their basic functions.

Bullet and Egg Vibrators

A bullet vibrator is a sex toy vibe that is shaped like a bullet. When a bullet vibrator is more oval shape, it is called an egg vibrator. Bullet and egg vibrators serve the purpose of stimulating the clitoris. For the most part, they are not made to be inserted into the body -- except for bullet wands. A bullet wand vibrator is a bullet shaped vibrator that is attached to the tip of a thin wand. This type of vibrator can be inserted within the vagina approximately three inches, curved towards the outer wall, and stimulate a female G spot. A bullet wand vibrator can also be inserted into a man's anus to stimulate the "male g spot", or prostate gland. The g spot and prostate are highly erogenous zones and many people find great pleasure in stimulating them. A final use of bullets, many sex toys are powered by bullets. There are various dildo sex toys, vibrating cock rings and more which function by having a bullet vibe inserted into them.

Classic Firm Vibrators

Classic vibes are the tried and true vibes loved by thousands of women for decades. These vibrators are slender, sometimes firm and sometimes flexible, and are made to be inserted into the vagina. These vibrators are great because they can be used with "vibrator sleeves". A vibrator sleeve is typically made of silicone or other soft, stretchy material. Vibrator sleeves have various textures, such as ribbed, nubs for causing extra pleasure, or contain ticklers for additional stimulation. Most firm vibes are inexpensive, as well as the sleeves (most sleeves are under $10). This makes for a very cheap vibrator toy which is versatile -- you can change the feel you receive from the vibrator simply by swapping the vibrator sleeve you use.

Discreet Vibrators

Discreet vibrators are great for women who want to keep their sex toy use secret. These types of vibrators include lipstick vibes, vibrating pens, secret vibrator sex toy keychains, or a rubber duckie to be used in the bathtub that actually vibrates. Examples include hairbrush, keychain, cosmetic vibrators, vibrating lipstick, even fruits and other common household objects that are actually concealed sex toy vibrators.

Finger Vibrators

Finger vibrators make sense as a perfect hands-free ergonomically designed vibrator type. These vibrators attach to your finger tips, allowing you to use your hands for other purposes such as massaging, caressing, holding and touching. Attaching a vibrator to the tip of your finger allows the vibe to become a part of your hand, giving you a pleasurable massaging touch. There are finger vibrators with various attachments to alter the sensation the vibrator gives.

G Spot Vibrators

The female G spot was first commented on in the 80's as a German gynecologist by the name of Grafenburg commented on it in his book, "The G Spot and Other Recent Discoveries About Human Sexuality". Since then the female g spot has been a focus of many sex toys. There are many types of G Spot vibrators, including G spot firm vibes, bullet wands -- and sex toys designed to stimulate both the G spot and clitoris, such as G Spot Rabbit vibrators and G Spot Clit Stimulators. These sex toys all have one thing in common, they have tips which are curved and meant to be inserted into the vagina approximately 3 inches deep and nestled into the female G spot to produce a G spot orgasm.

Hands Free Strap On Vibrators

Many women enjoy sex toys such as vibrating panties. Toys like this are strapped in place by a harness around a woman's waist, fastening a vibrator over the clitoris. This includes many popular sex toys such as the butterfly, dragonfly, vibrating panties and other fun sex toys which are attached around the waist with straps. These are discreet vibrators, most can be worn under clothing out in public and no one will know you have a means of enjoying a sex toy vibrator concealed beneath your clothing.

Cock Rings

Cock rings are vibrator sex toys for men, but can also be enjoyed by women. Vibrator cock rings are placed around the base of the cock. A cock ring will normally help a man stay firm by restricting blood flow from out of the penis, helping it stay large. When a vibe is added to the cock ring, the vibrating sensation also helps the cock remain firm. Many of the vibrators which are attached to cock rings will have a vibrating pad attached that, when aligned with the clitoris, will also stimulate a woman during intercourse.

Magic Wand Massagers with Attachments

Magic wands are some of the most popular sex toys. The Hitachi Magic Wand has been loved by women for over 25 years. These vibrators are for external massage and are great for arms, legs, shoulders and back. This type of massage is great foreplay. Magic wand vibrators (such as the Hitachi) can also come with attachments that can be used as sex toys, such as dildo or clit stimulator attachments.

Novelty Vibrators

Novelty type vibrators can be a lot of fun! One of the most popular types of novelty vibrators is the "I Rub My Duckie". This is a rubber duck toy for use in the bath tub. This vibe is concealed as a rubber duckie toy. It is also waterproof, making for great fun under water. Other types of novelty vibrators include holiday themed vibes, such as a candy cane vibrator -- what better thing to find in your stocking at Christmas? Novelty vibrators are sex toys with a twist -- featuring unique oddities which make them remarkable and fun.

Palm Size Massagers

Palm massagers fit perfectly into the palm of your hand. When enjoying your sex toy vibrator, a palm sized massager makes this an ergonomically correct experience. They fit perfectly in the palm of your hand, making the vibrator an extension of your arm. Comfortably holding your vibe can be an important part of enjoying your intimate play time.

Rabbit Vibrators

The rabbit vibrator is one of the most popular sex toys available today. These types of vibrators are dildos that have a "bunny rabbit" attached to the shaft. This bunny rabbit has ears that vibrate when being used. The shaft is inserted into the vagina until the bunny rabbit ears align with the clitoris. The shaft will vibrate, twist and pulsate stimulating the vagina, while the bunny ears vibrate around the clitoris. This makes the rabbit vibrator a dual stimulating vibrator, which is capable of stimulating multiple erogenous zones simultaneously.

Realistic Vibrators

Realistic vibes are dildo vibrators that look and feel like a real penis. These vibrators are highly detailed, with realistic veins and penis head on the shaft which make them look like a real penis. Visual stimulation is an important aspect of enjoying a sex toy, and a realistic dildo vibrator will provide this type of stimulation.

Rocket Vibrators

A rocket vibrator is a vibe that contains stimulating nubs at the tip. These soft pliable prongs that protrude from the tip of a rocket vibrator give it the look of a rocket, hence the name. Rocket vibrators are extremely popular and include the famous "Pocket Rocket". Use a rocket vibe by applying the vibrating soft nubs to an erogenous zone.

Tongue Vibrators

Many people enjoy the feel of a tongue during oral sex. A tongue vibe simulates a real tongue. These types of vibrators are shaped like a tongue. Add personal lubricant to a tongue vibrator to give it the moist sensation of a real tongue.

These are some types of sex toy vibrators that are popular today. Use this beginner's guide to decide which type of vibrator you may be interested in learning more about.
