How to pick a vibrator for clitoral stimulation that’s right for you
Before choosing a vibrator, ask yourself: What do I want out of this product? If you want a clit vibrator for enhanced penetrative, partnered sex, you’ll have different options than someone who wants a clit vibrator for solo use, for example. You can also think about what type of clit stimulation you enjoy. Here are some more factors to consider when determining which vibrator might be right for you.
- Size. Clit vibrators come in a variety of sizes, ranging from small bullets that fit in the palm of your hand to large wands with heavy handles. If you’re looking for a travel-friendly discreet option, a bullet vibrator may suit your needs, for example.
- Girth and length. Thicker vibrators tend to offer more powerful vibration, but they can be tough to maneuver. Some might find thinner vibrators too mild, while others might appreciate the portability of them.
- Price point. Clit vibrators can cost as low as $20 or as high as $300. If you’re on a tight budget, there are plenty of affordable vibrators that offer powerful stimulation. For those who can invest in an expensive vibrator, you'll have more options for advanced and innovative features (i.e., app pairing, more vibration modes, travel lock).
- Material. It’s important to make sure your vibrator is made of body-safe materials, like medical grade silicone and ABS plastic. This will not only make cleaning your vibrator easier, but mean your toy is safer for use.
- Intensity and modes. Knowing what type of vibration feels good for you can expedite the process of finding your perfect vibrator. If you’re new to vibrating sensations, it might not be worth it to invest in an ultra-powerful toy with multiple motors. You might find your clit to be more sensitive, and in that case, you might prioritize other features, like shape or texture.
- Internal vs. external stimulation. A vibrator is most commonly known for offering external clitoral stimulation, but many vibes offer a combination of sensations. Consider, for example, if you want a vibrator that offers internal G-spot stimulation, in addition to more clitoral stimulation. Perhaps you want something that offers very pinpointed stimulation, or a combination of both.
3 ways to enhance play with a clit vibrator
Elevate the rumbly sensations of your vibrator by combining your play with some added elements. Here are a few ideas to try.
- Incorporate lubes. Because lube reduces friction, it can make for a smoother sexual experience, no matter what toy you choose to use. Sometimes it can take awhile to get naturally wet, and lube can help build up that arousal. Adding it to the mix can also change the sensation of external stimulation, creating slick, pleasurable sensations. We recommend using water-based lube as its compatible with nearly all sex toy materials.
- Consider using a position enhancer. If you want to lean into comfort during play, you might consider using supportive sex furniture, like position enhancers. Some position enhancers, like the Liberator Axis Magic Wand Mount, come with a sex toy holding feature. This can give users the ability to experience new angles and increased stimulation, offering hands-free vibration. It offers great support and can be used for solo or partner sex.
- Light a candle. Candles tend to create a sensual glow in a room, and many give off a romantic aroma that can intensify intimacy, even if you’re just playing with yourself. You might also consider using a massage oil candle if you want to give yourself or your partner an erotic massage.
