What is a clitoral vibrator?
The objective of the clitoral vibrator is to emit light vibrations against the clitoris. It allows a woman to reach orgasm more quickly than during a regular masturbation session. Intended to stimulate the intimacy of women, more particularly the clitoris as its name suggests, the clitoral stimulator can come in different models. It can be in the form of a vibrating roller, a classic vibrator, a vibrating ring, or even a rabbit dildo.
The advantages of the vibrator
The advantages of a clitorial vibrator are numerous. Here are a few:
- To have solo fun
- To discover new erogenous zones
- To discover new sensations
- To spice up sex or foreplay as a couple
- It’s a very easy to use sex toy
- Discreet for certain models
- It’s often a cheap sex toy
Features to consider when choosing a clitoral vibrator
There are a variety of criteria that you need to take into consideration to find the best vibrator for you. Here are some useful features to consider when you decide to get one finally.
Power type
If discretion is important to you, a rechargeable vibrator is probably the best clit stimulator for you. With a few exceptions (like the Lovehoney Erotic Rocket 10 Function Clitoral Vibrator), the vast majority of our battery-powered friends are extremely noisy. Rechargeable batteries, on the other hand, are often ideal when looking for a silent companion. Honestly, it is also more economical in the long run to opt for a rechargeable!
In full, let’s analyze the pros and cons of each:
Pros of battery-powered vibrators:
- Cheaper to buy
- Always ready to use
- Discreet
- Easy to clean with water
Cons:
- Not waterproof
- Less ecological
Pros of vibrators with rechargeable battery:
- Silent
- Vibrate with power
- Cheaper to use
- Greener than battery-operated vibrators
Cons:
Speeds and patterns
The speed and patterns a model offers will give you more variability and a wide option of clitorial exploration. Choose a model with at least 3 speeds and 7 patterns like the Lovehoney Erotic Rocket 10 Function Clitoral Vibrator for the best artificial stimulation, but some models, as for example the Womanizer Premium Rechargeable Smart Silence Clitoral Stimulator will offer you amazing 12 speeds.
Material
There several types of materials the clitoral vibrators are usually made of, and for better understanding of each pros and cons, you can read detailed information below:
- Silicone: The best vibrator for clit stimulation models are made of silicone. Love toys made of silicone, like the Womanizer Premium Smart Silence Clitoral Stimulator and the Desire Luxury Vibrator, are of the best quality. They offer reliable use. Silicone is a very flexible and hygienically flawless material. It is non-porous and hypoallergenic. It does not contain latex, and it is tasteless. In short, it is a material with the highest degree of safety and hygiene.
- Glass: Most glass love toys are made of borosilicate, a kind of ultra-resistant glass with a very long lifespan. This material can be heated or cooled. It is easily cleaned and guarantees a maximum level of hygiene and safety.
- Plastic: When we talk about a plastic vibrator, it is usually hard plastic. Its advantages, as you can see with the Womanizer Starlet Clitoral Stimulator, is that it is non-porous and is easy to maintain. It comes in many colors, transmits vibrations well, and is not expensive. However, it is not as reliable as glass and silicone.
- Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE): TPE is a light material. This plastic may have a small odor and/or taste. TPE does not contain latex, but it is slightly porous, so we recommend that you use a condom. It is less reliable than plastic.
- PVC: PVC is a soft rubbery material, generally mixing different chemicals and the quality of which may vary. There is no standard list of the substances used for the manufacture of PVC, which makes this material questionable. The new PVC variants do not use controversial elements and are safe.
- Skin-like material: This material reproduces the appearance and touch of the human body. It gives the same feeling as the skin. The big drawback of this material is it is often porous and difficult to clean. We, therefore, advise you to use a condom. It is not the most reliable.
Circumference
The circumference of your choice will depend on the level of experience. However, the decision you make here will not be a big deal as when you are trying to buy a prostate massager, which is meant for deeper penetrations. For a clitoral vibrator for beginners, start with models with less than 3 inches, like the Lelo Mia 2 Rechargeable Clitoral Vibrator. However, the best clit sucker toys usually have more than 4 inches of circumference. So, as you advance, move to more advanced models with a bigger size.
Length
In addition to the circumference, which varies a lot, the average vibrators vary between 6 and 9 inches. Although some models are smaller and others can reach more than 14 inches! The important thing is to have your preference, remembering that there is often a difference between the total length (sleeve included) and the insertable length. Also, remember that vibration is the central stimulant. Size is, therefore, less critical than models used for deeper penetration.
Flexibility
The flexibility of a clitoral vibrator can make or mar your erotic experience. In terms of flexibility, you have a choice with soft and flexible types like the We-Vibe Melt App Controlled Rechargeable Clitoral Stimulator. Alongside the ones with firm flexibility, these are often the best clitoral sucking vibrators. They are made of safe silicone, easy to use, and fully waterproof. Then there are the rigid models. They are made of hard plastics, as is with the Womanizer Starlet Clitoral Stimulator. However, they are not waterproof. Cleaning them with water may be a problem. At best, they can be splash resistant.
Waterproof
Waterproofness is an essential feature for a clitoral vibrator. This is not because of the orgasmic fluid they’ll come in contact with, but their ease of use and maintenance. If you want a waterproof model, choose silicone models. They can be used in the shower and can be cleaned or washed in water.
