If you’re looking to buy your first vibrator, you’re not alone. Sex toys have become increasingly popular in recent years, and there are many different types of vibrators available to suit a wide range of preferences. Buying one can be exciting and a little scary and the many, many options to choose from certainly don’t help. Here are some tips for buying your first vibrator.
Beginner friendly types
As with most things, it’s best to start small and keep it simple. Narrow down to vibrator types that are reputed to be best for first-time buyers. They include bullet or egg vibrators, magic wands, and clitoral suction toys. Most types of external stimulators are a good option for first-timers. External vibrators have zero penetration and focus on clitoral stimulation. Clitoral vibrators designed solely for external stimulation are typically tiny yet powerful and even in some instances cute.
For more adventurous types, you can jump right in with both feet and try internal vibrators or combo ones like rabbit vibrators. If you choose the internal vibrators or combo option, remember to start small. Do your research and check the different reviews out there. If you’re over 40, it’s important to keep in mind that you’ll need stronger vibes to get off than younger women.
Material
Make sure you’re buying a vibrator that uses body-safe materials and the safest material by far is silicone. Silver and gold are equally safe, but they carry a hefty price tag to boot. Another safe option is ABS plastic. Like silicone, it’s non-porous but is not as soft as silicone. An important thing to keep in mind is you should avoid jelly-like vibrators at all costs. They are porous and will hold bacteria making them unsafe for genitals.
Part of safety includes where you buy it. Make sure you purchase the vibrator from a reputable shop even if you’re buying it online.
Power source
Vibrators can be powered by batteries or they could have a rechargeable battery that you charge via USB. Rechargeable vibrators tend to be more expensive, but they can save you money in the long run and are often more powerful. Plus, they keep you from finding yourself in the unfortunate position of being rearing to go but your AAA batteries are dead. Just charge and go.
Price
Start small applies to the budget as well. If you want to splurge on your first vibrator, by all means, do it but if you prefer a more cautious wading-in approach where you first figure out what you like before throwing all your money down, start small. For most people, this approach prevents the unfortunate situation where you sank down a whole wad of cash and are now stuck with a vibrator that does nothing for you. Sex toys often have a no-return policy for health as well as icky reasons.
Relax
Calm down. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. If your vibrator buy doesn’t work out, you can always try another one. You’re conducting an experiment to find out what works for you, plus it doesn’t hurt to have a collection. If anything, that’s the goal.
Cleaning
Make sure you thoroughly clean your sex toys with disinfectant and soap the first time you buy them. Before and after using them make sure to wash your sex toys with soap and water so that you are sure that they don’t get bacteria on them. Also, read instructions about how to store your vibrator after use.
