Vibrator and Sex Toy Options In addtition, sex toys are most enjoyable when used with a lubricant. [click to learn which lubricants work best for different toys and situations] Wand Vibrators These vibrators are designed as body massagers with a long handle and they are exceptionally well made. So, not only can you enjoy them as a sexual toy, they are also perfect for tired muscles. Wands have circular heads, best used for external genital stimulation. However, a variety of attachments can be purchased for them that fit over the head for vaginal or anal entry. Again, the Hitachi Magic Wand is the most famous and sought after vibe in this category. Battery Operated Vibrators Battery operated vibrator sex toys offer the user a smaller, more portable unit than are the plug-in type wands. They come in many different sizes, shapes, colors and textured shafts. They are not as strong as the wands, but the larger the batteries used in the vibe, the more intense the motion—thus, vibrators requiring “C” batteries will be more powerful action than “AA” vibrators. Classic Vibrators These “cylinder” vibrator sex toys come in various lengths. They are made of plastic and can be a bit noisy. They look like a small rocket ship, and they can really help you take off! Examples: Pearlessence Wand 7.5”, Magic Power Vibe 8”. Realistic & Jelly Vibrators Made to look like a penis, these vibrator sex toys are made out of a wide variety of more flexible, or skin-like materials. Some have veins or ribbing for a more natural feel. One of our favorite sex toy skin-like substances is the amazing Cyberskin. While not an intense vibrator, the Private Members Vibrating Cyberskin Cock Pink 6.5" is a good example of a realistic look and feel. Or use the Cyberskin Transformers 3" Sleeve, which fits over your classic vibe to create a real feel. Flexible jelly vibrator sex toys also offer a more skin-like feel than classic vibrators. Check out the Jazzy Power vibrators 8” or the Jel-Lee Red vibrators 7”. Waterproof Vibrators Waterproof vibrators have become increasingly popular. Who doesn’t love playing in the bath, at the beach or in the Jacuzzi. Now you can bring your water-friendly vibe along, and have MUCH more fun! Many shapes and materials are available. Try the Waterproof Amethyst Jewel 7”, Water Toys Multi-Speed, or the Waterproof Rabbit for multi-stimulation vibe. G-Spot Vibrators Difficult to reach and mysterious, the G-Spot can now be accessed by a woman with specially curved vibrators. These sex toy vibrator offer a curved tip with a long shaft, so that, once inserted, a woman can reach the G-Spot on the upper wall in her vagina. Vibrators made of hard material are best because they don’t bend when inserted in the vagina. Examples: Celebrity Slimline G 7.5”, G-Spot Fantasy Massager 6.5”, and the Waterproof G-Spot Skinny Mini 4” Vibrator. Multi-Stimulation Vibrators With their unique properties, these vibrators are becoming very popular. The long, phallic, vibrating shafts penetrate the vagina, while simultaneously a clitoral stimulator acts independently, with separate controls. Additionally, some of these vibrator shafts have beads ('pearls') that twist and rotate for additional stimulation of the vaginal lips and the g-spot. The protruding, independent clitoral stimulators usually look like animals: rabbit, beaver, bear, or kangaroo. The Japanese vibrators are pricey, but the quality is outstanding. Check out these multi-stimulators: Japanese Rabbit Habit Vibrator, Japanese Beaver Vibrator, Japanese Rabbit Pearl Vibrator. Bullet (Egg) Vibrators The unique shape of bullets/egg vibrators make them very versatile. They typically measure only 1 inch by 3 inches, and they’re attached by a small cord to a control unit/battery pack. Made of hard plastic, you can use them externally, insert them into the vagina or into the anus (best to use a condom when using them anally). They allow for more than 1 intensity level and some offer varying types of vibration (pulsating, surging, escalating, and roller coaster). Some bullet vibrators come with sleeves for the bullet that give a more sensuous feel, like the Evibe Love Bullet, which comes with the real-skin feel of a Cyberskin Sleeve. Strap-On/Clitoral Vibrators With their straps that fit like underwear, these vibrators fit over the clitoris and hold it in place providing hands-free fun. They can even comfortably be used while having intercourse. They are basically a bullet, with a jelly cover. The most popular versions: Venus Butterfly, real-feel Cyberskin Clit Climaxer Passion Flower and the Micro Climaxer Butterfly. Remote Control Vibrators What will they think of next?

Let your lover take charge of the remote and enjoy surprises all night long, when you’re out on the town. You’ll love it!

The Remote Control Butterfly is great for clitoral stimulation and the Remote Control Black Panty offers an all around good time. Now all you need is to choose a vibrator, turn it on and say “Pleasure Me Now.” Enjoy yourself!     Areas that Sex Toys Can Stimulate Choosing a vibrator sex toy is partly dependent on what erogenous zone you wish to stimulate. In addition, the design of many popular vibrators offers multiple areas of stimulation simultaneously. Clitoral For many women, clitoral stimulation is the only method of arousal that brings them to orgasm. Most classic vibrator sex toys can be used to stimulate this erogenous zone. One of the most desired vibrators continues to be the Hitachi Magic Wand, with its superb quality and unique vibrations. The “Mother of Masturbation,” Betty Dodson, has given masturbation workshops for women for many years and she says it’s the only electric vibe that can be run over 30 minutes without overheating. Some other vibrator sex toys, like the Venus Butterfly, are specifically designed for clitoral stimulation. The Venus Butterfly sex toy also offers hands free operation as its jelly vibrator fits over the clitoral region and is held in place by small straps that go around a woman’s thighs. This makes it possible to use the Butterfly while enjoying sex with a partner. G-Spot The “magical” G-Spot is generally out of reach for a woman to stimulate herself to orgasm. Fortunately, many vibrators are built specifically to reach the g-spot with just the right angle. These vibrators offer a curved tip with a shaft long enough to penetrate into the vagina. Examples: Clebrity Slimline G 7.5”, G-Spot Fantasy Massager 6.5”, and the Waterproof G-Spot Skinny Mini 4”. Penetration Many women enjoy the sensation of penetration and the feeling of fullness in their vagina. A great many vibrator sex toys are available to fill the need, so to speak. Classic vibrators offer 4-8” shafts for this purpose. Especially popular now are jelly vibrators with a more natural, human feel to them. Realistic vibrators include the Jazzy Power Vibe 8” and the Jel-Lee Red vibrators. Multi-Stimulator Sex Toys Quickly becoming the most popular vibrators, these multi-stimulation sex toy vibrators offer simultaneous vaginal and clitoral stimulation with some even giving g-spot or anal stimulation. The shaft of these vibrators offers penetration/vibration/and some give gyrating or back and forth motion, while an element situated near the base of the shaft offers stimulation of the clitoris. These vibrators take their names (Pearl Rabbit, Kangaroo, Beaver, Hungry Bear, Pearl Dolphin) from the animal shapes of the additional stimulator on the shaft, which offers it’s own independent adjustable vibration and movement controls. Some of these Multi-Stimulator vibrators mention “pearls” in the title, indicating small round beads imbedded in the shaft that provide constant stimulation to the vaginal opening as they rotate. The best multi-stimulation vibrators are concidered the Japanese made ones because of their exceptional quality, most pleasurable vibrations and quiet operation.     Anal Beads Sex Toys Sex toy beads look very much like a regular beaded necklace, but with the beads strung farther apart, and usually a good bit larger.

Lubricants can enhance sex between partners, when using sex toys or by yourself. When making love to a partner lubricants can add to the erotic feel of the experience. Some women's vaginas don't self-lubricate enough, and these women can find intercourse extremely uncomfortable. Lubrication is often the answer. When using a sex toys inserted into the vagina or anus, most people find the experience much more enjoyable when using a lubricant. Lubrication makes toys glide sensually in, out and about. However, be sure to choose a lube that doesn’t damage you or your erotic toys. There are four types of lubricants: Water-based, petroleum-based, those made from natural oils, and silicone-based. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. Water-based Lubes These are the most versatile, safe and popular lubricants for all situations. Typically made of de-ionized water, glycerin, and propylene glycol, they are safe to use with condoms, all forms of barrier birth control and most sex toys. It is rare that water-based lubricants cause irritation, and they don’t stain clothing. They are safe to ingest, and they come in both flavored and unflavored varieties. They tend to dry out over extended periods, but a little water or saliva will get you slick again. Petroleum-based lubes These include KY Jelly, Vaseline products, mineral oil products and baby oil. Unfortunately, these products all destroy latex, so they cannot be used with condoms, cervical caps, diaphragms or most sex toys. In addition, they can inflame and irritate the vagina. They also stain clothing. Petroleum-based lubes do tend to last well, so they are often used by men during masturbation. Natural oil-based lubes These are derived from natural oil sources such as nuts or vegetables. Like petroleum-based lubes, they too destroy latex (condoms, diaphragms, cervical caps and many sex toys) and stain clothing. However, they do have one key advantage over petroleum-based lubes: they don’t cause vaginal irritation. This makes them excellent for female [and male] masturbation, as well as unprotected vaginal. Silicone-based lubes These have the benefits of water-based lubricants with the addition of being waterproof, so they may be used in the bath, or the jacuzzi, or... In addition, they tend to lubricate longer than water-based lubes. Silicone will not hurt latex, so they’re safe with condoms and other forms of barrier birth control and sex toys; however, they can affect adult toys made from silicone.
