How to Choose Your First Vibrator: A Beginner’s Guide to Pleasure
You’ve hit you’re limit. You’re in a dry spell, and you just can’t take it anymore, and your hands aren’t doing the job. You need a vibrator, and you need it now! There’s only one problem. You’ve never even thought about buying a vibrator before, and you have no idea what’s good and what’s a waste of time.
Don’t worry. Everyone’s new to the sex toy market at some point.
Today, we’re diving into how to choose a vibrator by breaking down the key factors you need to consider. From size and vibration strength to materials and features, we’ll help you find a toy that matches your pleasure preferences—so your first vibrator is one you’ll love for years to come.
1. Make a Budget
There are vibrators in practically every budget range. You can get them dirt cheap, or you can spend a surprisingly large amount on them.
You need to know how much you have to work with and what you’re comfortable spending on a first-time sex toy.
While you can create as big or small of a budget as you want, we recommend staying in the $30 to $60 range at first. This way, there are plenty of basic options at the lower end that are still high quality and safe, and there is a good selection of high-quality advanced options without being super expensive if you decide you need something a little different.
2. Determine Your Comfort Zone
A vibrator is a very personal toy, and it’s something you need to be extremely comfortable with.
These come in a wide range of sizes and shapes, and at first glance, it might seem like you want the biggest or one with a lot of different features, but that’s not necessarily the case.
First, you want to consider which size you’re comfortable with. Don’t push it to anything bigger than you know you’re comfortable with, and be mindful that smaller options might not give you the “oomph” you’re looking for. This is your personal sex toy, and you should treat it just like Goldilocks. Not too small, not too big, but just right.
When it comes to features, we’re mostly talking about extra bits. A lot of nice vibrators have secondary stimulation points that are meant to reach around for clitoral stimulation, and other options are available.
Make sure each extra feature like that is something you’re comfortable with and likely to enjoy. You won’t know until you try, but it’s best to start out with something you’re most likely to enjoy.
3. Take the Battery into Consideration
Few things suck more than getting in the mood, getting all set up for a bit of fun, reaching for your trusty vibrator, and poof. You realize it’s out of battery, or it’s going to die soon.
Luckily, the days of AAs and AAAs are long gone for the most part. The majority of toys use rechargeable lithium batteries now. So, you don’t have to worry about keeping a stockpile of fun time batteries on hand. Instead, when the toy dies, you just plug it in and charge it up.
What you do want to be aware of is how long the battery is supposed to last. If it’s a small battery, you’ll probably get a good, long use out of it for a session, but you’ll have to constantly make sure you’re topping the battery off so it’s ready for those more spontaneous moments.
A longer lasting battery is going to require minimal charging, and you can afford to be a bit lazy after you have your big climax rather than immediately worrying about charging it.
4. Lube Requirements
A lot of toys, both vibrators and other types of sex toys, require either oil-based or water-based lube if you’re going to use lubrication. If you use the wrong stuff, you can get some pretty rough results, even with the best toys.
Always check a listing to see if there is a recommended lube type, and then consider whether that’s the type of lube you want to use. Some people only want to use water-based lube, some don’t care, and you might fall anywhere in between those two extremes.
This will also affect your cleanup requirements. We’ll talk more about those shortly, but water-based lube is generally a lot easier to fully remove from your vibrator than oil-based lubes, and silicone lubes, and in comparison, those two types of lube have their own traits that make them desirable.
5. Cleaning Requirements
One thing a lot of people forget about is the need to clean up when they’re done. It’s pretty understandable, too. Right after a big climax, you usually don’t want to worry about an extensive cleaning requirement.
Well, that’s something to consider. A simple vibrator that doesn’t have a lot of crevices or similar areas that trap debris or germs is going to be a lot easier to clean. In comparison, while a more elaborate toy might provide something you really want to curl your toes, it might be a bit harder to clean thoroughly.
Consider this when you’re buying the vibrator and think about how much work you want to put into cleanliness. You need to keep it clean to prevent major health issues, but you don’t want play time to turn into a complicated chore.
6. Look for Settings
Whether you get a simple vibrator or something fancier, you want one with multiple settings. If it’s stuck doing one thing, you have to deal with two issues. First, it will eventually get just as boring as anything else. Second, you don’t have any options to adjust it if you’re in the mood for a different type of experience.
There are all kinds of settings built into modern toys. Speed, vibration patterns, and even different rotational patterns can be found on all kinds of vibrators. The more settings available, the more versatile your vibrator is going to be.
7. Consider a Hands-Free Option
Finally, one thing we have to recommend is trying a hands-free vibrator toy. These often go in your underwear or have other ways of staying in place without needing you to hold them.
