How to Clean a Vibrator and Other Sex Toys Safely

The Volta definitely involves a bit of a learning curve, and it’s probably a better choice for advanced sex-toy users. The Inmi Vibrassage series features three vibrator models, each of which uses three individual tendrils to stimulate the clitoris. The two models we tested, the Fondle and the Caress, each have one stationary vibrating leg and two legs that rotate in circular motions to stimulate the clitoris. We preferred the longer handle of the Fondle, which made it easier and more ergonomically comfortable to use. Both testers who tried these toys said that using them involved a learning curve, and while one tester enjoyed the novel sensations and achieved orgasm using them, our other tester could not, even after multiple sessions.

Invest in one for its health benefits or just because you want to give your hand a break — it’s your life, so you do you. Vibrators provide intense stimulation vibrator, so if you’ve struggled to reach orgasm (and you want to have one), adding a vibrator to your sexual toolkit can help. So, here are 10 of the benefits that I’ve seen sex toy companies advertise — and if vibrators actually can help with them in a meaningful way. There are a variety of G-spot-specific vibrators available with a range of different designs, but all aim to provide a more intense orgasm.

Babeland and Good Vibes are SheKnows sponsors, however, all products in this article were independently selected by our editors. The short answer is yep, using a vibrator should not compromise an IUD should you choose to get one. You can banish fears of enjoying a session with your favorite external vibe only to see your IUD on the floor. You’ll want to choose objects that are smooth, durable, and are comfortable for you to hold or manipulate.

Then there are the health benefits of staying sexually active – many of which are backed by scientific studies and research. Masturbating to orgasm has a significant positive impact on one’s mood and stress levels, and can even help relieve pain and improve sleep. Reaching orgasm releases hormones like endorphins, oxytocin, and serotonin, helping promote the above-listed benefits. Medical grade is a label you’ll see pretty often, but if it’s not backed up with the specific regulatory body or testing standard used to determine that it’s medical grade, it leaves me wondering why that hasn’t been disclosed. If the manufacturer specifies which kind of silicone it uses, we will list it in the product description. It just means the specific kind used in that toy isn’t listed or hasn’t been provided to us.

It’s not as fancy as some high-end models, but for the cost, it’s a steal. The Lioness Vibrator earns its title as the most innovative with its groundbreaking biofeedback technology. Going beyond the conventional, it allows users to track and analyze their arousal patterns through a companion app. This data-driven approach empowers users to understand and enhance their pleasure, making The Lioness a revolutionary choice for those who value the exploration element of intimate experiences. Customers find the massager works well, with one noting it’s more effective than massage guns, and they appreciate how it feels good on sore muscles and relieves tightness and knots.

Of course, we mean that in the emotional/spiritual/mental way, but we also mean that if you don’t have a vibrator you love at the moment, it’s time to get one. That said, it’s wise to think about how you want to use your new toy. If you plan on using your vibrator during partnered sex, you may want to opt for one that’s slimmer and less intrusive. If you’re using the toy solo, you might not care if it has a cord or has a larger, clunkier design. This depends on a range of different factors , including material, frequency of use and whether you’ve been cleaning it regularly. This was made even more enjoyable by the buttons, which (unlike on many bullet vibrators) are smooth to press and accessible, making this a good pick for first-time buyers.

There are so many different categories of toys that it can be tough to know what’s what.

I love an aesthetically pleasing sex toy, and Bora understood the assignment.

With its remote control feature, users can easily adjust vibration patterns and intensity levels without drawing attention. Whether worn internally or externally, the Magic Flamingo offers customizable stimulation for spontaneous adventures. Rounder and not quite as oblong as the similarly small bullet vibrators, egg vibrators are designed to fit inside the vagina and target the G-spot.
