Newly Single? Here’s How To Begin Your Own Toy Story
Vibrators are a very unique ‘tool’ because quite simply they do what no human body can. They move faster, more consistently and – because they never ever get tired – they can continue longer than any fingers ever could!
Therefore, to add the extra stimulation of sex play with vibrators can be a wonderful addition to sex. Some people only use vibrators externally – others only internally and many do both. Vibrators for penetration should be safe for vaginal or anal penetration, but be sure your vibe is safe for anal use before using it that way.
Any person – both male or femaile can use vibrators – they are unisex and made for a function. If you are new to vibrators, you’ll find answers to many frequently asked questions about vibrators, tips on how to choose them and so on in this article and also on the other pages of our website.
People of every age use vibrators and their use covers the whole gamut of socio-economic class, race, gender, sexual identity and religious or political affiliation. That said, not everyone uses them, but ultimately everyone has (depending on the country or US state they live in) the right to sexual choice and experimentation, which for many people includes the use of vibrators.
So – why use them? Well, there are as many reasons to use a vibrator as there are reasons to feel good. Some common reasons behind this include; curiosity, a need for self-discovery, the lack of a partner, needing to spice up a stagnant long-term sexual relationship, help in achieveing orgasm, extra stimulation and ultimately, just for a bit of fun. Vibrators may be the only electronic gadget that comes with absolutely no instructions or manual from the manufacturer.
At first you may think your vibrator doesn’t need a manual because it’s intended use is obvious however there are many many things you can do with your vibrator that you might not even have thought about. Like we said, the great thing about vibrators is that they never get tired so you have all the time in the world to enjoy them. Think of yourself as an explorer and take time to explore the sensations it gives you.
Don’t rush and allow your newfound friend enough time to establish that special tingling and ’sensation-connections’ that previously weren’t there. Most vibrators have more than one speed setting. Always start on a low setting and work upwards. If a vibrator feels too strong at first place a towel between you and the vibrator. Alternatively press it lightly against your body. You may find that on certain areas you prefer a lower speed while other parts of your body need stronger sensations.
Experiment also with applying different amounts of pressure. You may enjoy a lot of deep pressure with clitoral stimulation or you may want to hold a vibrator just very lightly. You can press your vibrator deep into your skin if you wish and massage the muscles while also feeling the stimulation of the motor. With almost all the battery-powered types of vibrator, the more pressure you apply the lower the vibration feels. Also the stronger you hold your vibrator, the more vibration gets absorbed by your hand.
Finally, most vibrators will have a point or an edge. Try touching yourself with the finest point of the vibrator. Next put the widest or flattest part of your vibrator against your body. When you focus on one specific point, the vibrations can feel intense. In fact, you might find that the feel of the vibrator on your labia, or above your clitoris feels awesome. Because the clitoris extends inside the body, deep vibration in this area can feel great, and different than direct clitoral stimulation.
If you’re keen to begin your search for your own vibrator, at sites like LovetheMagicWand.com you’ll find articles, information, raves and reviews on the best Wand Massager with links to the online stores that stock them. Then close the door, turn off your phone and you can enjoy getting to know your new friend.

Adult Toys – A Shopping Guide
Maybe you already have a few adult toys and are considering buying another or perhaps you’re literally ‘toying‘ with the idea of buying your very first one – with so many different styles of vibrator on the market – do you know what each one does?
Not all vibrators are created equal – and – depending on its shape and functions, vibrators are designed to give you either G-spot, clitoral or vaginal stimulation. In the case of Rabbit Vibrators however – you get a hat-trick of all three in one. However, before you head to your neighbourhood adult shop or online store, read this rundown on vibrator types to see which one fits your own personal preference the best.
Bullets — Typically bullet vibrators are small, discreet and can be used all over the body, internally or externally. They are very versatile and due to their compact size they travel easily. They are often really inexpensive and can be enjoyed by women or men. Bullets are usually hard-shelled (either plastic or aluminum) or covered with a soft rubber or jelly coating. Try them on your nipples, labia, clitoris or G-spot (as long as the bullet has a retrieval cord).
Eggs — Egg vibrators are identical to bullets, providing the same types of stimulation. However, an egg vibrator is shaped like—you guessed it—an egg.
Traditional Vibrators — When we talk about a traditional vibrator, we mean the basic hard-shelled plastic vibrator. This can measure anywhere from four to eight inches long. These vibrators are meant for targeted external and internal stimulation. They vibrate at multiple speeds, which are usually controlled by a knob at the base of the vibrator. Traditional vibrators can run on AA or C cell batteries. They vary in power and speed, but the hard shell means you feel more vibration with no ‘buffer’.
Realistic Vibrators — A realistic vibrator has a phallic shape, with all the details of a real penis. Realistic vibes vary in both size and shape, but are generally made of silicone, jelly or rubber materials, giving them a softer feel. Realistic vibes can be used internally or externally. They vary in vibration speeds and functions (such as rotation) and battery types as well.
Rabbit Vibrators — Rabbit vibrators exist to stimulate your vaginal walls, G-spot and your clitoris, simultaneously. Rabbits have a rotating or oscillating shaft that is lined with massaging beads or pearls—this is the part you use internally. They also feature vibrating bunny ears that tickle your clitoris on the outside. Vibrator rabbits are much sought after – they shot to fame following a Sex and the City episode in which Charlotte becomes a recluse following the aquisition of a rabbit vibrator. At sites such as LoveTheRabbit.com you’ll find many jack rabbit vibrators articles, information, raves and reviews and links to the stores that stock them.
G-Spot Vibrators — G-spot vibrators were designed to locate and stimulate your G-spot. Some G-spot vibrators are hard and rigid while some are soft & flexible. G-spot vibrators feature a slightly curved or hooked head for targeted stimulation.
Clitoral Stimulators — Some vibrators are designed solely for clitoral stimulation. A number of of these vibrators are wearable and some are shaped to fit over your pubic bone. You can use these discreet vibes during sex or solo play.
Specialty Vibrators — Some vibrators defy description and categorization. They still vibrate and provide all sorts of stimulation: They just have unique, innovative and spectacular shapes and functions. Some are futuristically cone shaped, others are long and pencil thin while others still are very futuristic in their forms and finishes. There is even a range of vibrators that will throb in time to the music on your MP3 player – they are called the OhMiBod – and are powered by your iPod.
Lubricants – Do You Know What To Look For?
Personal lubricants are specialised liquids that are used , during intimate acts to reduce friction between the penis, vagina, other body parts and even sex toys. When considering a personal lubricant, would you know what to look for when making a purchase? If not, read on…
Lubes have been used for centuries during sex play & intercourse. There are references to the use of olive oil and coconut oil recorded many centuries ago. The most recent personal ‘lubes’ were originally derived from surgical lubricants designed for use during medical procedures – now they are also used frequently to provide lubrication during sex play.
Personal lubricants can be used to increase pleasure and reduce pain during sexual activity and may be used for lubricating the penis or vagina and a sex toy such as a rabbit vibrator or a the rabbit vibrator.
Personal lubricants are particularly useful for intercourse when one partner experiences dryness. It is usually sufficient to apply a drop of lubricant to the vaginal entrance and, if applicable, the penis being inserted.
Nowadays certain brands of lubricant come with additions such as spermicides and overall lubes come in a variety of formats. There are also water-based lubricants that are water-soluble and are the most commonly used on the market.
Due to their long-lasting effect, older women who – as they age – may suffer from vaginal dryness favour oil-based lubricants. A good option for them would be to try silicone-based lubricants which unique merits when it comes to dryness . Silicone-based lubricants do not absorb into the skin, instead the settle on the surface to provide a long-lasting glide.
Please note however that not all silicone-based lubricants are certified condom and latex safe so you are advised to check the label and use as directed. Silicone-based lubricants are best not used with silicone-based sex toys. The lubricants ‘melt’ the surface of the toys, making them sticky and causing their material to disintegrate.
There are also lubricants that are made specifically to cause physiological or physical changes to the area applied; these include lubricants that are warming and cause a heating sensation in the skin. Some lubricants are made to increase blood flow to the regions in which they are applied, creating a fuller erection of the penis or clitoris; usually these solutions contain vasodilators to increase blood flow after application.
Finally, there are flavoured lubricants that come in a variety of tastes from strawberry to watermelon.
When you buy a personal lubricant, ensure that the solution must be pure and non-toxic as lubricants are easily absorbed by the body – in fact, they’re absorbed more easily than food and beverages are digested because they are soaked in directly via the skin without the benefit of being filtered through the liver and kidneys and thus, it is important to make sure that what you purchase is safe.
Chart topping sex toys
After Christmas we are always told which kids’ toy topped the charts and which DVD was the season’s best seller – but have you ever stopped to wonder which are the world’s best selling sex toys? Lots of people enjoy sex toys, in fact nearly 53% of the USA’s female population own at least one adult toy… but which do they choose and why? Unfortunately, due to the discreet nature of the topic, news about great sex toys spreads slowly. However, sales figures are a great indication on what is happening in the world of adult toys and although the following toys may not be talked about much, they are best-sellers in their own right.
1. First at the top of the list is the Rabbit Vibrator. This type of vibrator skyrocketed to fame following an episode of Sex in the City when Charlotte became a virtual recluse after she purchased (and seemingly became addicted to) her own rabbit vibrator. This is hardly surprising given that rabbit vibrators are specifically designed to provide sentational and simultaneous clitoral, g-spot and vaginal stimulation – and have therefore left the more traditional dildos, slimline vibrators and clitoral stimulators in the shade. If you’re not familiar with this particular model, visit LoveTheRabbit.com.
2. Next on the list is the Hitachi Magic Wand. The Magic Wand is considered as the world’s finest massager. The original Hitachi Magic Wand first appeared in the 1970s as a bona-fide medical device which is still used today in physiotherapy. The intensive vibrating movements of the ‘wand’ provide an increased blood supply which helps to regenerate tissue and release pain. Outside of physiotherapy however, the Wand is widely known as an excellent sex aid with many physicians recommending it for women to increase genital sensitivity and enhance arousal. Its effectiveness as an orgasm-inducing toy for women has been widely publicized by a variety of sex writers and is endorsed by sex educator and therapist Dr Laura Berman. At LoveTheMagicWand.com you’ll find many Wand Massager articles, raves and reviews and links to the many stores that stock these best-selling vibrators.
3. At number 3 on the best-seller list is Orgasmix. This is a feminine arousal lotion that increases the pleasure that a woman feels. It uses a combination of stimulants to create a pleasant tingling sensation when it is applied to the clitoris.
4. A surprise here with ManDelay, a delay cream that allows men to sustain an erection for a longer period taking the number four slot. This cream uses benzocaine – a numbing agent – to allow a man to last longer during intercourse.
I’d say a good night would be had if one owned all four!
