Choosing Your First Vibrator

This is a guide for women who are curious about vibrators and sex toys but don't know where to start. There are a huge variety of sex toys available today and it can often be very intimidating for somebody that has no experience of sex toys. Questions like "what type of vibrator would be suitable for me?" often enter the mind of individuals looking to buy their first sex toy. The problem is that many people would be far too embarrassed to walk into a sex shop and ask about the massive array sex toys displayed in front of them. The purpose of this article is to give information about some of the many types of toy available and hopefully answer some of the questions that surround them.

A lot of people think that sex toys are a modern invention, that nobody they know could possibly own a sex toy of any description. This is not the case. When do you think the first sex toy was made? Twenty years ago? Fifty years ago? It may surprise you to know that sex toys have been around a lot longer. In fact around 500BC Dildos were a very popular item around the Mediterranean. (Dildos are non vibrating penis shaped objects). In ancient Greece the city of Miletus was a major manufacturer of dildos made of stone or wood often wrapped with padded leather. There is even evidence from cave drawings that dildos may have been around in the stone age (30, 000 years ago). Nowadays there is a lot more choice with all sorts of strangely shaped objects.

There are lots of stores on the internet that sell sex toys, this is probably the best place to look for sex toys as you can do it by yourself in the comfort of your own home without having to talk to a sales assistant face to face or worry about who saw you going into that sex shop the other day.

Vibrators vary greatly in shape, size, colour, strength of vibration and price. If you have never bought a vibrator before you should start with something small and reasonably priced. You wouldn't buy a Ferrari if you hadn't even sat your driving test. Lets have a look at some of the different types available.

Standard Vibrators:- These are what most people think of when visualising a vibrator. Usually 6 or 7 inches in length, smooth and made of rubber, latex or plastic. Available in either single speed or multi speed ( allows you to alter the strength of the vibration usually by turning a dial on the base of the vibrator). These are great for first time buyers. Although shaped like a penis you do not have to use it like one. You can use it to stimulate the exterior of the vagina, the clitoris or even your nipples.

Finger Vibrators:- These are very small devices designed to be worn on your finger like a ring. They allow you to use your finger like a vibrator and are a good introduction to sex toys. These are also available in single or multi speed and are another fantastic first time buy.

Rabbit Vibrators:- Made famous in 1998 by "Sex and the City". These vibrators are shaped like standard vibrators, but they have one important difference. Attached near the base of the vibrator is a small rabbit shaped node. The ears of the rabbit vibrate when the vibrator is switched on and are angled so that they stimulate the clitoris.

Pearl Vibrators:- These usually resemble rabbit vibrators and indeed some even have a rabbit attachment. Inside the shaft of the vibrator are rows of small balls (pearls). As well as vibrating these toys also rotate the pearls around the shaft giving a very different experience for the user.

G-Spot Vibrators:- These vibrators are designed to stimulate the G-spot. Usually straight, the end of the shaft is curved in such a way that when used to penetrate, the tip presses against the G-spot. These can produce mind blowing orgasms. Definitely not for the faint hearted, these are ideal for women who want to experiment with G-spot stimulation.

Realistic Vibrators:- As the name suggests these vibrators are very life like. Many realistic vibrators are modelled on famous porn stars. Not recommended for first time buyers these can be intimidating for the first time user due to their size and ultra realistic look.

This guide has only scratched the surface of the many types of vibrators available. The most important thing when buying your first vibrator is to choose one that you like the look of , and that you will be comfortable experimenting with. It is after all supposed to be a fun activity.
