What is a Vibrator?

A vibrator is a sex toy with an internal motor that makes it vibrate. They’re traditionally designed for clitoris stimulation, but now come in all shapes, sizes and designs intended for internal, external and double stimulation.

A vibrator can help you stimulate hard to find erogenous zones like the G-spot or prostate, they can fast-track your orgasm and help you get to know your body and how you like to be touched.

Types of Vibrators

There are so many different kinds of vibrator it can be hard to know where to start on your quest to find the right one (or two).

Rabbit vibrators stimulate more than one erogenous zone at the same time, while remote control vibrators are operated using a device for hands-free solo play or partner-controlled public play.

A bullet vibrator is a small but powerful sex toy that targets the nerve endings in your clitoris with vibrations. Likewise, a clit sucking toy does the same thing but with a combination of clit suction and pulsations.

A wand massager is an extremely powerful vibrator that has different intensity settings and can be used as an all-over body massager or as an intimate sex toy. The most famous is the Hitachi Magic Wand, but there are plenty to choose from.

These are all considered vibrators for women, but you can also get vibrating prostate massagers for men.

Discover the Best Vibrator for You

Deciding on the best vibrator depends on what you want your vibrator to do, how much you want to spend and what special features and functions you want.

Best Vibrator for Beginners

If you’re new to vibrators, we’d recommend easing yourself in with a bullet vibrator due to their easy-to-use and not-at-all intimidating appeal. Being so portable, bullet vibes are also ideal for taking on your travels.

Best Couples Vibrator

You can incorporate almost any sex toy into the bedroom, but a firm favorite among couples is remote control vibrators, which are revered for their ability to hand control to your partner and to tantalize in public.

Best Discreet Vibrator

If discretion is more important to you, have a look at our extra quiet sex toys, where you’ll find almost silent vibrators that still pack power. USB rechargeable vibrators are often more expensive than battery-powered sex toys, but they’re usually much quieter.

Best Waterproof Vibrator

If you want a waterproof sex toy that you can take in the shower or tub, check the ‘Specifics’ section of a product page to see if it’s submersible or not.
