Choosing Your First Vibrator: A Comprehensive Guide to Finding the Perfect Match


Selecting your first vibrator is an exciting journey into the world of personal pleasure. With so many options available, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. This guide will walk you through important considerations, types of vibrators, and key features to help you make an informed decision and find the perfect match for your desires. 

 

Understanding Your Needs and Preferences
 
Identify Your Goals 
The first step in choosing your first vibrator is understanding what you hope to achieve. Are you looking for external stimulation, internal pleasure, or a combination of both? Knowing your goals will narrow down your options and help you focus on devices that meet your specific needs. 
 
Consider Sensitivity and Comfort 
Everyone's body is different, and what feels good to one person may not be the same for another. Consider your level of sensitivity and comfort with different types of stimulation. Some people prefer gentle vibrations, while others enjoy more intense sensations. 
 
Types of Vibrators

 
Bullet Vibrators 
Bullet vibrators are small, discreet, and perfect for beginners. They focus on clitoral stimulation and are easy to use. Their compact size makes them ideal for those new to vibrators and looking for something simple yet effective. We highly recommend the best-selling bullet vibrator the Chaiamo for both beginners and more experienced. 

 
G-Spot Vibrators 
G-spot vibrators are designed for internal stimulation, targeting the sensitive G-spot area. They often have a curved shape to reach the G-spot easily. If you're curious about exploring internal pleasure, a G-spot vibrator might be a great choice. Our best-selling (for good reason!) G-Spot vibrator is by German company, Satisfyer, and you can get yours here.

 
Rabbit Vibrators 
Rabbit vibrators offer dual stimulation with two separate parts—one for internal use and one for clitoral stimulation. These vibrators provide a blended experience, making them a versatile option for those who want a bit of everything. Our best-selling rabbit for first timers is Mr Rabbit by Satisfyer.

 
Wand Vibrators 
Wand vibrators are larger and known for their powerful vibrations. They are often used for external stimulation but can also be used for deep tissue massage. If you're after strong, rumbly vibrations, a wand vibrator could be the perfect fit. Our all time favourite wand vibrator is made is by female founded company LeWand.

 

Key Features to Look For

 
Material and Safety 
When selecting a vibrator, always prioritise body-safe materials. Silicone, ABS plastic, and medical-grade materials are excellent choices. They are non-porous, hypoallergenic, and easy to clean, ensuring safe and hygienic use. 
 
Vibration Settings 
Look for vibrators with multiple vibration settings. Different intensity levels and patterns allow you to customise your experience and find what works best for you. A device with various options ensures versatility and keeps things interesting. 
 
Ease of Use 
Choose a vibrator that is user-friendly. Intuitive controls, ergonomic design, and a comfortable grip are essential for a pleasurable experience. The simpler the device is to operate, the more enjoyable your sessions will be. 
 
Noise Level 
Consider the noise level of the vibrator, especially if privacy is a concern. Many modern vibrators are designed to be whisper-quiet while still delivering powerful sensations. Check product reviews and descriptions to find a quiet yet effective option. Check out some of our fave quiet vibes here.

 

Exploring Brands and Reviews
 
Research Reputable Brands 
Opt for reputable brands known for quality and safety. Established brands often invest in better materials and innovative designs, ensuring a reliable and enjoyable experience. Popular brands to consider include Lelo, We-Vibe, and Satisfyer. 
 
Read Reviews and Testimonials 
User reviews and testimonials provide valuable insights into a vibrator's performance and reliability. Reading about other people's experiences can help you gauge whether a particular model will suit your preferences and needs. 
 
Trying Before Buying

 
Visit a Store 
If possible, visit a store that specialises in sexual wellness products. Knowledgeable staff can offer personalised recommendations and answer any questions you might have. Seeing and feeling the vibrators in person can also give you a better sense of what to expect. If you would rather shop discreetly, our online store sells online body-safe award winning vibrators that we have hand picked to ensure you have the best experience.
 
Start Small 
For your first vibrator, starting with a smaller, less intimidating device can be beneficial. As you become more comfortable and familiar with your preferences, you can explore more advanced or specialised options.
