Frequently Asked Questions

Before you invest in any vibrator, make sure it aligns with your sexual preferences and goals. For example, you don't want to spring for a G-spot stimulator if you’re looking for anal play (doing so may result in an embarrassing trip to the emergency room). There are different kinds of vibrators with endless vibration intensity levels, so be mindful of the kind of sensations you’re after, be it suction stimulation, mini toys with powerful motors, or thrusting technology to get you going exactly how you like it.

Keep in mind sex toy material, too. You always want to buy a toy made with body-safe materials like stainless steel, silicone, and borosilicate glass. Silicone toys are the most popular but always remember to pair them with water-based lube to avoid breaking down the material.

Whether you're shopping for your first toy to suit your masturbation or partner play needs (or both), try something basic in design and settings before diving into larger, more intense options. "I always recommend keeping it simple and easy to use when you are just starting out with sex toys," Lyndsey Murray, AASECT-certified Sex Therapist at Relationship Matters Therapy and host of the Sex Positivity: Unfiltered podcast, previously told Allure.

In case you aren't on #SexTok, suction toys, also known as pulsators, are one of the most popular external stimulators, as they mimic oral sex. (Pair with water-based lube for mind-blowing results). Unlike your classic vibrator, which usually features a rumbly motor, these innovative toys utilize clit-sucking air pulsations rather than (or in tandem with) vibrations.

On the other hand, vibrators range from wand massager options that focus on erogenous zones to girthy finds made specifically hitting your G-spot—and everything in between (we're talking about you, rabbit vibes). In case you're a pulsator connoisseur who wants something extra, there are sex toys that combine suction and vibrations like Womanizer's OG Pleasure Air G-Spot Stimulator.

Our rule of thumb when using a sex toy of any kind is to do what feels comfortable (and pleasurable) for your body—to an extent. Never insert a toy that's meant for external stimulation inside of your body, and just because a toy is insertable, it doesn't mean it's meant for all orifices. A vibrator that's designed for vaginal pleasure may not be suitable for anal play, and vice versa. The golden rule when using a sex toy of any kind: Always read the instructions.

Another key facet of using any vibrator is keeping it nice and clean, to avoid bacteria buildup and infection. "For toys with motors, you can use fragrance-free soap and water or toy cleaner," Eva Sweeney, a sex toy reviewer, educator, and founder of Cripping Up Sex with Eva, previously told Allure. You can spritz the toy with a bit of warm soapy water, or, if it’s waterproof, you can soak it in the sink for a few moments.

Need more convincing to clean up? "Nearly all STIs are capable of being transmitted through sex toys, especially toys that are inserted into the body or make mucosal contact," Susan Bard, a New York City-based dermatologist, affirmed. Scrub up, sister.

Now that we've covered safety protocol, here are additional tips to keep in mind (you're welcome, newbies):

Though certain designs have their drawbacks, vibrators, overall, are pretty versatile in terms of where you can place them. A G-spot toy usually can't be used anally, but that doesn't mean you can't use their buzzy sensations to massage your erogenous zones. However, due to their usually small size, external vibrators tend to be the best option for placement play. "Some like to tap [external vibrators] back and forth on the glans, clitoral shaft, and labia," Juliana Hauser, PhD, a Lexington, Kentucky-based marriage and family therapist, previously told Allure.

No matter where you place it, Dr. Hauser suggested beginning with a light touch to get the momentum going. "You can press gently on your vulva and different places along your clitoral system or press more firmly," she said. "Some areas may prefer or tolerate a firmer touch than others."

Even if your toy is rumbly enough to land on the Richter scale, adding hand motions will enhance your experience. When using an external stimulator, Dr. Hauser suggests moving the vibrator in a circular, vertical back and forth, horizontal side-to-side motion, or a combination of all of the above. As for G-spot vibrators, try experimenting with strokes—fast and hard or gentle and slow, the thrust intensity is literally in the palm of your hands.
