Selecting a Clitoral Stimulator

There are many choices, so how do you choose?

Here are some questions to take the guesswork out of choosing a great toy:

1. What do you want this toy to do for you?

  • Are you looking for something that leaves your hands free? Then a strap-on stimulator is great. You may also be interested in panties or G-Strings with vibrating bullets. If you're playing with a partner, look at those that are remote-controlled.
  • Do you want complete control over your stimulation? Then get a hand-held vibrator. There are lots to choose from. There are vibrating bullets, pocket rockets and mini-vibes. Check out the selection of sizes, shapes and functions, so you can find your perfect toy.
  • Use a vibrating erection ring with a partner and position the bullet in just the right spot. Also look at micro-bullets for use during oral play and fingertip massagers to rev-up manual stimulation.
  • Do you prefer vaginal and clitoral stimulation? Get yourself a dual-action or strap-on with a vaginal insert for the best of both worlds.

2. What do you want this toy to feel like?

  • Softer stimulators made of jelly, rubber or silicone provide more diffuse vibration.
  • Have you been looking for a clitoral toy that you can use in the water? Then a waterproof toy is best. A rubber o-ring seals the battery compartment, making them appropriate for water use.
  • Are you looking for something that transmits a stronger vibration? Generally something made of plastic or metal will have the strongest vibration, but can also cause temporary desensitizing. To avoid this, look for toys with a multi-function controller.

3. Do you want something discreet or is performance more important?

  • Are you looking for something that's easy to travel with? Choose one that is small and cordless. Most look fairly innocuous.
  • Do you want something tiny that packs a big punch? Vibrating bullets transmit vibrations extremely well and many have multiple functions to keep your clitoris happy.
  • If comfort is most important look to the wearable stimulators. They come in a variety of sizes and levels of discreetness.

Make Sure You Have All Your Accessories:

After you have selected your vibrator, make sure you have the following:

  • Plenty of fresh batteries in the proper size for your toy. The description and the box your toy comes in should say what size is needed.
  • Lubricant! The anus does not produce its own natural lubrication, making it extremely important to use lubricant with anal toys. You may also want to look for something with a desensitizing agent. There are many different types and a variety of prices. Read about the importance of using a quality lubricant here!
