What’s All the Buzz About: Reasons to Get a Vibrator

For those of you who need a more ‘valid’ reason to try using a vibrator, sex therapists and psychologists say it’s healthy and medical professionals are conducting studies on the physical and mental benefits it could provide. Some medical professionals have found that regular use of vibrators in postmenopausal women can be beneficial and help to fight vaginal dryness.

You might both be surprised by the novelties you will discover.

With the convenience of online stores selling vibrators Australia wide, you can simply order one and have it delivered to your doorstep, without going through the embarrassing ordeal of talking to people in an adult shop if you don’t want to. And most shops have nice packages, so even the delivery person won’t give a look.

How to Choose

Looks and Types

When it comes to the outside look of a vibrator, you should think about the colour, size, and type. Bigger isn’t always better, and the colour shouldn’t make you cringe. So, pick something that suits your preferences.

Another important factor is the type and there are a few. A vibrator can be used not only for penetration but for external stimulation as well. Most women can’t reach an orgasm from penetration alone. If you want the best of both worlds, look for a multi-functioning toy.

In addition to the most common type – the wand, there are also clitoral, G-spot, bullet, rabbit and plenty of other vibrators t choose from. Which one should you go for depends entirely on your needs and preferences. You also have couples vibrators and ones that pulsate instead of vibrating, and more. We leave it up to you to do some more research.

Materials

Since the toy will be used in and around your body parts, it is crucial to choose a safe material. The best one is silicone, which is non-porous and pleasant enough for your body. How it feels to touch is very important and that’s why the spongy texture which emulates the properties of skin is the better option.

Some of them are waterproof, in case you want to use them in the tub or shower, but before you dive into this pleasure make sure you check for that feature on the label.

The Feel

Different vibrators will provide different sensations. Depending on whether your vibe delivers internal or external stimulation (or both), and whether it uses fine point or broad surface frequencies will affect the feeling it gives you.

Furthermore, the technology the vibrator uses will also impact the end result. For example, suction vibrators are meant to simulate oral sex, providing a gentler sensation than a classic bullet vibrator. Thankfully, nearly all vibrators have multiple settings, giving you the freedom to explore what feels best for you.
Chargers and Batteries
This is the more technical and not-so-fun part, but if you don’t want a dead vibrator in the middle of your session, then you should cover this part as well.

Vibrators come with chargers and these may differ from model to model. Since chargers can get lost frequently, your safest bet is to buy one that can use any charger you already have.

Getting your Partner in on the Action

Using the vibrator to add fun and spice up things with your partner can deepen your intimacy and strengthen your relationship, so don’t hesitate to introduce the toy into the bedroom. Reassure them that it is not a replacement for them and has nothing to do with their performance, but just another way to enjoy the experience together.
