With literally thousands of vibrators on the adult market, it can be a challenge to find which ones best fit your needs. This vibrator guide will look at what you should consider before buying a vibrator. After boning up on those pointers, you can then explore some of the dozen different Vibrator Models to see what each has to offer. Then, this guide covers some of the Special Vibrator Features you should look for in your new vibrator. By carefully planning your decision, you’ll be able to better narrow your selection and find the vibrator that best suits your needs.
Essential Vibrator Guidelines
The most important factor in buying a vibrator is size - a fact many people tend to gloss over. You can buy an expensive vibrator with all kinds of special features, but you’ll end up disappointed if the vibrator of your dreams turns out too small or too large to use. Most vibrators are sized 5 to 7 inches long and 1 inch wide - similar to the average penis. Vibrators intended exclusively for anal use tend to be a little shorter and thinner while other vibrators can measure a whopping 14 inches long and 2.5 inches wide.
Many vibrator novices make the mistake of buying a vibrator too large for their needs - making it a good idea to start out with an average-sized vibrator. If you feel the need for deeper penetration, look for a longer model with average width so you do not get stuck with something larger than you can comfortably handle. As a good yardstick, you could estimate the size of a lover’s penis and buy a similarly sized vibrator.
There are two standard ways to control the power of your vibrator. The more basic models come with a rotating dial in their base so you can vary the vibrator’s speed from low to high. Other vibrator models have pre-set pulsations. By pressing a button on the vibrator’s base or on a separate remote, you can set the speed from low to high or even select a pre-set pattern that rapidly turns the vibe on and off.
Different Vibrator Models
Once you’ve determined a comfortable size for your vibrator, it’s time to think about which
model of vibrator suits your needs. Depending on how you plan to use your vibrator, there’s likely a special model of vibrators specifically engineered to suit your needs, whether you’re looking for a simple back massage, clitoral stimulation from a Rabbit Vibrator or something to hit your G-Spot. While there are some vibrators designed to stimulate multiple erogenous zones, many women prefer to have multiple vibrators with each vibrator specializing in one area.
Anal Vibrators
As their name implies, anal vibrators are designed specifically for anal penetration. Anal vibrators are shorter and thinner than regular vibrators and feature a flared or extended base for easy removal. Anal vibrators generally measure 4 to 6 inches long with a width that can vary from 0.75 to 1.25 inches.
When using an anal vibrator, it’s important to apply lots of lube to the anus and the vibrator itself for a smooth penetration. With sufficient lube, the anal vibrator should slide in and out with only slight resistance. DO NOT FORCE IT IN. If the resistance is too much, you can try inserting a finger to slightly loosen the sphincter ring. If that doesn’t work, stop trying to use the anal vibrator. Continue the finger exercises regularly over a two-week period to loosen up the sphincter before trying out the anal vibrator again.
If this is your first anal vibrator, then look for one of the smaller-sized anal vibrators or for one advertised as a beginner’s model. Until you have adjusted to the experience and know you can
handle it, trying to use a larger anal vibrator is just asking for trouble. Find an anal vibrator.
Bullet & Egg Vibrators
Many adults love these vibrators because of their all-purpose nature. These vibrators are great on their own but also are commonly used in a wide variety of adult toys to enhance stimulation.
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 user’s experience. Bullet vibrators are often used in different models of cock rings, while egg vibrators can be found in masturbation sleeves and love dolls. Find bullet and egg vibrators.
Butterfly Vibrators
Butterfly vibrators are designed solely for clitoral stimulation. These special vibrators come with straps and are worn in place like a pair of panties, which gives them a butterfly like shape. Many of these vibrators have an overall colorful and stylish appearance to make them more attractive.
Butterfly vibrators are usually covered with dozens of pleasure nubs, which are simply small and flexible points. When you turn on the vibrator, these pleasure nubs vibrate very rapidly creating a mind-blowing feeling of dozens of feathers tickling your clit at once.
Many women love butterfly vibrators for their hands-free stimulation. This leaves you free to use another vibrator for vaginal or anal penetration at the same time. Or you could put on your butterfly vibe before having sex with your partner for constant clitoral stimulation. Find butterfly vibrators.
Clitoral Vibrators
These are arguably the best vibrators on the market because they provide such intense clitoral stimulation they’re effective on even women who otherwise have difficulty having an orgasm.
There are two major kinds of clitoral vibrators - rabbits or dolphins and beavers. The names come from how these vibrators stimulate the clitoris. Rabbit vibes feature two small prongs - the rabbit’s ears - that directly tickle the clit. Beaver or dolphin vibrators rely on one larger nub, either the beaver’s tail or the dolphin’s 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. The single, larger nub of the beaver and dolphin vibrators allows for more intense and heavy-handed stimulation.
Clitoral vibrators tend to be the luxury model on the adult toy market. They rank among the more expensive vibrators, but almost all clitoral vibrators include several special features. Unlike butterfly vibrators, the rabbit or beaver probe is 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 G-Spot vibrators, these shafts are liberally covered in raised veins and pleasure nubs for added satisfaction. Some of the high er-end models have rotating tips, a piston action that mimics actual thrusting, or the ability to connect to your computer for long-distance relationships. Shop for clitoral vibrators.
Cylindrical Vibrators
These are your basic nuts-and-bolts vibrator. Cylindrical vibrators lack extra features that come with higher-end vibrators, but they make up for that with by being highly dependable and relatively inexpensive. Cylindrical vibrators tend to less than 1 inch wide, making them relatively thin. Most of these vibrators feature a rounded, smooth shaft. One end tapers down to a smooth point, while the other end houses the controls and battery compartment.
With their rounded tip and smooth surface, cylindrical vibrators are useful for either clitoral stimulation or vaginal penetration. It is not recommended to use cylindrical vibrators for anal penetration as they lack the flared base that ensures easy retrieval. Be sure to use a toy-safe lubricant with cylindrical vibrators for an easier and more satisfying experience. Find cylindrical vibrators.
G-Spot Vibrators
You can easily tell if a vibrator is designed to hit your G-Spot by looking at their shape.
G-Spot vibrators feature a distinctive curve right at the tip so the head of the vibrator can more easily hit your G-Spot every time. The tip of the G-Spot vibe is also fairly large, more like the head of an actual penis than the rounded point on a cylindrical vibrator. On the whole, G-Spot vibrators tend to be wider than many cylindrical vibrators - measuring around 1 to 1.5 inches wide and 5 to 7 inches long.
G-spot vibrators also tend to feature additional features to enhance stimulation. 
These can be something as simple as raised ridges along the length of the shaft to make penetration more pleasurable or a shaft with a series of bulbous projections so you can feel it gliding in and out.
G-Spot vibrators tend to be one of the most popular models on the market, coming in narrowly behind clitoral and rabbit vibrators. Many women use G-Spot vibrators while stimulating their clitoris for truly powerful orgasms. Shop for G-Spot vibrators.
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 Network’s 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. 
Rabbit vibrators are named after the two-pronged "bunny ears" that vibrate at high speeds to stimulate the clitoris. Many women find that the rabbit ears have a light teasing
feel - almost like a high-speed feather or tongue. 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 G-Spot vibrators, these shafts are 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. Browse our extensive collection of rabbit vibrators.
Vibrator Kits
Vibrator Kits come with one basic cylindrical vibrator and a variety of sleeves made from different materials. These sleeves are simply slipped over the vibrator so you can customize it for several different purposes - such as G-Spot or clitoral stimulation. Many of these sleeves are completely covered with flexible pleasure nubs making these vibrators ideal for clitoral stimulation as well as an arousing massage. Shop for vibrator kits.
Cock Ring Vibrators
These are usually small rings made of a stretchy material like cyberskin or silicone with a bullet or egg vibrator. The ring fits snugly over the base of the penis - restricting blood flow so a man can stay harder for a longer amount of time. Meanwhile, the vibrator attached to the cock ring can be positioned for several different uses. The man can point it downward to stimulate his balls or he could place it to hit a woman’s clit during sex. Some cock ring vibrators have dual stimulators - one for the clit and one for a woman’s ass. The potential afforded by the positioning of the vibe combined with the endurance-enhancement of the cock ring makes these items highly popular. Shop for vibrating cock rings.
Prostate Vibrators
These are a cross between anal and G-Spot vibrators. Prostate vibrators often 
have a bigger tip for better stimulation with a long, curved shaft to easily reach the prostate. While some men simply aren’t comfortable with the concept of prostate stimulation, prostate stimulation coupled with just stroking the penis causes an extremely powerful and more satisfying orgasm.
When using a prostate vibrator, you should follow the same precautions as with using an anal vibrator. Be sure to use plenty of lube and be careful during insertion. With sufficient lube, the anal vibrator should slide in and out with only slight resistance. DO NOT FORCE IT IN. I
f the resistance is too much, you can try inserting a finger to slightly loosen the sphincter ring. Look for prostate vibrators.
Special Features to Improve your Vibrator Experience
Now that you know what you want your ideal vibrator to be made out of, it’s time to actually start shopping. While browsing through our extensive collection of vibrators, you’ll find several that advertise special features -Like Pleasure Nubs, Realistic Look or they are Waterproof. This section explains just what these little extras are and what they do.
Pleasure Nubs, Bumps or Ridges
Many higher-end vibrators aim to increase stimulation as much as possible by creating ridges, bumps and pleasure nubs along the vibrator. Ridges are lines that run along the vibrator’s shaft and stick out just a little bit to provide additional stimulation during penetration. On many vibrators, particularly realistic vibrators, these ridges are made to look like veins.
Bumps tend to small, raised circles along the vibrator’s shaft that function similar to ridges. Larger-sized bumps are also found around the vibrator’s base for clitoral stimulation. Bumps have little to no flexibility.
Pleasure nubs are small and thin but highly flexible hair-like pieces that stick out along the shaft and near the b
ase for clitoral and vaginal stimulation.
Realistic Vibrators
Rather than a nondescript cylinder or an oddly shaped one like most G-Spot vibrators, realistic
vibrators faithfully replicate a penis - from the head down to the balls. These are frequently molded from real-life models, including several top adult stars. Realistic vibrators are often made from cyberskin - a special material that simulates the feel and consistency of the real thing. They come in a wide variety of sizes from average to the largest ones that top out around 12 inches long and 2 inches in girth. Some of the better models also include raised veins to provide increased stimulation during penetration. See what realistic vibrators we have to offer.
Waterproof Vibrators
Whether you’re alone or with a partner, waterproof vibrators are perfect for turning bath time into playtime. Many women love being able to combine the stimulation of their vibrator with the sensuous feel of water or a powerful shower massage for a knee-shaking orgasm. A special plastic ring seals the battery compartment off from the water allowing you to use these models in the shower or the pool with ease. Take a dip in the pool with these waterproof vibrators.
