To help you decide what the best vibrator for you is V.I.P. has created this buying guide detailing each type of vibrators unique qualities and uses.
Deciding on a Material for your Vibrator Sex Toy
Vibrators are made from a several different materials, which can affect how you use your vibrator, its price and even how you maintain it. Before buying a vibrator, you should research the benefits and drawbacks of the different materials so you can find the vibrator best suited to your needs. There are five main types of material used to make vibrators: Plastic, Latex, Jelly, Cyberskin, and Silicone.
Plastic Vibrators
Plastic is a popular choice for vibrators, largely because of its extremely low price. Vibrators made from plastic tend to be very basic, no-frills models. Plastic vibrators are very smooth and sleek. Plastic vibrators tend to be excellent for penetration - providing a firm and fulfilling experience. But their lack of flexibility makes them less effective when it comes to clitoral stimulation.
Latex Vibrators
This material is one step up from plastic. While still relatively cheap, latex gives the vibrator user many more options. Latex vibrators are firm enough for deep penetration, but these sex toys have more give and a little more flexibility than their plastic counterparts. Because latex vibrators have much more friction than plastic ones, you should always use a lube with them. And of course if you have a latex allergy avoid sex toys made of this material/
Jelly Vibrators
Jelly vibrators provide an excellent balance between usability and cost, making this the material of choice for many mid-range and luxury vibrators. Jelly is very easy to mold, color and shape - properties which manufacturers take advantage of whenever possible. This results in jelly vibrators numbering among the most colorful and exotic-looking models of vibrators as well as giving designers a chance to include many special features. Jelly is a very pliable material that has on overall smooth, soft and even supple feel to it. Despite their name, jelly vibrators have a consistency similar to a hard-boiled egg and are very effective at penetration. Browse our large collection of jelly vibrators.
Cyberskin Vibrators
Cyberskin vibrators are prized for their highly realistic feel and appearance. This special material comes very close to replicating the feel and appearance of human skin, especially after you hold these vibrators close to your body to warm them up. Because of its realistic look and feel, cyberskin is commonly used in high-end adult toys and realistic vibrators. It combines the soft give of jelly vibrators with the firmness of latex vibrators. Cyberskin vibrators do require some specialized cleaning.
Silicone Vibrators
Silicone is a high quality material that is rapidly revolutionizing the vibrator industry. Silicone is prized for its durability as well as its superior hygienic properties. Silicone can put up with a great deal of stress and hard-use while retaining its original shape and qualities. Silicone vibrators tend to be more expensive because these models are meant to last for years of intense usage. For the most part, silicone vibrators are soft and firm and feel very comfortable whether used for penetration or clitoral stimulation. Silicone vibrators are also easy to clean.
Your First Time...With a New Vibrator
So you've got your new vibrator, but you're not quite sure what to do with it. Don't worry, because this walk-through has the answers you need. Start off by reviewing the 6 Tips for Vibrator Use below. Then, there are a few steps you need to take before using your vibrator, and you should also decide whether or not you need to Use a lube with your new toy. After that, there are tips on using your vibrator for the first time and also on cleaning up afterwards.
The 6 Smart Rules for Using your Vibrator
1.) Never insert any vibrator to the point that it cannot be easily controlled and removed.
Always clean your vibrator after use.
2.) To make clean-up easier, you could place a condom over your vibrators before use.
3.) Use only compatible water-based lubricants with condoms and latex toys.
4.) If pain or discomfort occurs while using your vibrator, stop immediately.
5.) Do not use your vibrator on broken or irritated skin.
6.) Before Using your New Vibrator
When you first get your vibrator, carefully take it out of the box. Check over the box or any instructions to see if your vibrator has any safety tips or special instructions. After this, you need to gently wash your vibrator with warm water and mild soap taking care not to get the battery compartment or controls wet. Dry your vibrator off with a clean towel and youre getting closer.
To Lube or not to Lube
If youre not sure what they're for, lubes basically serve as a fill-in for the natural lubricant produced by a womans vagina. There are all several different varieties of lubes geared for special purposes, including vibrator use. It's important to make sure you use the right lube with the right toy, for example silicone lubes and silicone toys cannot be used together; the friction will "melt" the toy rendering it un-usable. When in doubt use a water based lube; it's compatible with all materials.
If you intend to use an anal vibrator, then lube is an absolute necessity. Only lube will provide a smooth, safe penetration for your vibrator while allowing for easy removal. Its also a good idea to use lube with any vibrator that provides clitoral stimulation. Several lubes have unique properties like heating up when friction is applied to them that can enhance stimulation and take your vibrator thrills even further. Some women can use their vibrator safely and comfortably for vaginal penetration without using lube. Most women, however, have a difficulty time being aroused by a simple piece of plastic, and they rely on lube to help get things started. Since this is your first time with a vibrator, its better to play it safe and cautious by using lube your first few times and then making a decision.
Taking your New Vibrator for a Spin
Regardless of which vibrator out of the hundreds of models catches your imagination, sexual therapists agree that theres one basic rule for using a vibrator if it feels good, then keep doing it! This is partly because vibrators, more than any other adult product, actively encourage you to experiment with different positions and speeds to find the right combination that hits your sexual buttons.
First, get in a position you find comfortable, such as on your back or on your stomach. Turn the vibrator on low and start using to gently touch your erogenous zones such as your nipples, inner thighs and around your vagina. After getting used to the feel of the vibrator, apply a little lube to the vibrator and your vagina and clitoris and begin to gently rub the vibrator up and down your vagina. Start with a light, almost teasing approach and gradually build up pressure until you reach the point youre most comfortable at. Remember to relax and enjoy yourself!
Cleaning Up Afterwards
Every time you use your vibrator you should always clean it thoroughly before using it again. Most vibrators can be cleaned with a simple soap and water, but some models and material require special care.
It's alway best to play it safe and purchase a toy cleaner.

Some of the higher-end models have rotating tips, a piston action that mimics actual thrusting, or the ability to connect to your computer for long-distance relationships.
Types of Clitoral Vibrators
There are two major kinds of clitoral vibrators that offer penetration and clit stimulation - rabbits and dolphins or beavers. The names come from how these vibrators stimulate the clitoris. Rabbit vibes feature two small prongs - the rabbits ears - that directly tickle the clit. Beaver or dolphin vibrators rely on one larger nub, either the beavers tail or the dolphins nose, for clitoral stimulation. Many women prefer the rabbit vibrator claiming that it has a lighter, more teasing and feather-like feel to it than the beaver or dolphin.

What are Pocket Rocket Vibrators
If you're looking for a discreet yet powerful vibrator, a pocket rocket may be just what the love doctor ordered. These personal playthings are preferred by some women, because they don't look like typical vibrators and aren't terribly phallic looking. Instead, they look more like back massagers or small flashlights. Many pocket rockets come with several heads that snap onto the top and provide additional stimulation.
Although Pocket Rockets are only about five inches long and powered by a single AA battery, this vibrator model is known for its concentrated, powerful vibrations. In fact, these little erotic missiles might be too forceful for some. Fortunately, there's an easy way to find your perfect level of satisfaction: you can cover the tip of your vibrator with an attachment, a jelly or silicone cover, or even the edge of your nightgown to ramp down the intensity.

While these small, sleek, bullet-shaped toys may not look like much at first glance, millions of men and women use these quiet, discreet vibrators either solo or with a partner to stimulate their most sensitive areas and blast off into the stratosphere.
Bullet vibrators are generally 2 to 3 inches long and very thin. They usually run on watch batteries and have a speed control built into their base. Egg vibrators are roughly the size of a large egg and are usually wired to a remote control. Most egg vibrators take standard AAA or AA batteries which are inserted into the remote. Many women use egg vibrators for vaginal insertion and use bullet vibrators for clitoral stimulation.
On a precautionary note, the small size of bullet vibrators and their lack of a cord or wire make it unwise to insert a bullet vibrator into your vagina or anus as it might be difficult to retrieve it afterwards. One should also never use a regular egg vibrator to stimulate your anus as there is a chance that the cord will break and you will be unable to retrieve the vibe. However, there are special egg vibrators that come with a strong cord or wire that are intended for anal use - just pay attention to the product description.
Bullet and egg vibrators are both common additions to several different models of sex toys because of their ability to provide extra stimulation and enhance the users experience. Bullet vibrators are often used in different models of cock rings, while egg vibrators can be found in masturbation sleeves and love dolls.
What are Remote Control Bullets
Remote controlled bullets are just as they sound, a bullet vibrator with a remote. The remote allows you to easily change speed and vibration patterns. Some bullet vibrators are connected by a thin wire to a remote contol that has multiple speed options. While others are completely wireless and are great fun when you "wear" the vibrator and give your lover the remote.

G-Spot vibrators feature a distinctive curve at the tip so the head of the vibrator can hit your G-Spot every time.

Rabbit Vibrators
Rabbit vibrators are the most popular vibrator model on the market, thanks to publicity from the popular HBO series Sex in the City, the Oxygen Networks Talk Sex with Sue Johanson show, and simple word of mouth. Even with all that hype, many women find that their rabbit vibrators are even better than promised.
What are Rabbit Vibrators
So does it live up to all the hype? Many swear by them, due to a unique design function that allows for simultaneous stimulation of the pussy and clitoris.

You can also rotate the vibrator so the ears face the backside and experience fluttering anal stimulation; just take extra care cleaning your rabbit to avoid transferring germs. Many women find that the rabbit ears have a light teasing feel - almost like a high-speed feather or tongue, very hot.
Rabbit vibrators are attached to a long shaft for dual vaginal penetration and clitoral stimulation. Many models also feature two separate speed controls - one for the vibrating shaft and another for the clitoral stimulator. Like other vibrators, these shafts are often liberally covered in raised veins and pleasure nubs for added satisfaction. Some of the higher-end models have rotating tips, a piston action that mimics actual thrusting, or the ability to connect to your computer for long-distance relationships.
