Features to consider when choosing a hands-free vibrator
There are many features to consider when looking for the best hands-free vibrator. Not all products are created equal and they all cater to different demands. At its most basic, decide if this vibrator is for a man or a woman, and then look further to see what specific ways you want to engage with it are. The good news is that while there may be plenty of hands-free vibrators to choose from, there will be one with all the features you’re looking for.
Type
There are an abundance of vibrators and hand-free are just one of the many categories. However, within this category are even more types to consider. It’s best to first narrow down if you are a man or woman looking for a vibrator.
For women, there are many options that provide clitoral stimulation. These include the Desire Luxury which rests inside your panties and is positioned to be placed by your clitoris. The Dame Eva II is another hands-free vibrator for women. It is specifically made to enhance intercourse by providing stimulation to the clitoris.
An option for men and women is the Luxe Touch-Sensitive Vibrating Dildo. It is made for vaginal penetration, but can also be used in anal play. The We-Vibe Vector is also made for anal play and while it is marketed for men, because it stimulate the prostate gland, it can be used by women, too.
For men only, try the Pulse Duo Lux. It is a cuff that wraps around the penis for a massaging effect.
Safe materials used
While vibrators can be made from many different materials, including rubber, glass, and stainless steel, all of the hands-free vibrators on our list are made from silicone. Silicone is a really nice option because it is a warm material. You won’t have to worry about prepping your toy ahead of time. It is somewhat flexible although if you plan on inserting one of our vibrator’s it can still take some getting used to.
One nice benefit of silicone is that it is easy to clean and can be used with any water-based lube. Furthermore, it allows some models, such as the We-Vibe Vector and the Dame Eva II to be waterproof. This feature is nice as it allows you to spice things up location-wise.
Modes, speeds, patterns
A good hands-free vibrator will give you plenty of choice when it comes to speeds and settings. The more, the better as it allows you to find exactly what works best for you. The Desire Luxury is perhaps the best on our list. It has 8 different modes and 12 different vibrating settings. On the other hand, the Dame Eva II only has 3 speeds.
In addition to how many modes and speeds a vibrator has, you’ll want to pay attention to how you change those speeds. More basic vibrators simply have one button so you need to cycle through all the speeds to find one you want. App-based vibrators make it easier to select exactly which setting you want.
Power type
All of the hands-free vibrators on our list use a rechargeable battery as their power source. This is incredibly nice as it means your battery won’t run-out when you’re right in the middle of things.
Each vibrator comes with a USB cord to recharge the battery. How long the battery will last at a full charge, however, varies from model to model. For example, the Pulse Duo Lux and the Dame Eva II only have runtimes of 60 minutes while the We-Vibe Vector and the Desire Luxury have runtimes of 120 minutes.
One important fact to note is that the runtime does not mean if your vibrator is on the maximum setting the whole time. Extra vibrations require extra power. If you’re wondering why your vibrator has a much shorter runtime than advertised, this is a common explanation.
On the other hand, your battery can diminish in power overtime. This is unfortunate as it means you will have to either keep your vibrator charged at all times or purchase a new vibrator.
While many hands-free vibrators only have warranties that are one year in length, if you have a lot of troubles with your battery keeping a charge, it’s a good idea to contact the manufacturer, to see if they can help with your problems.
What it’s controlled via
There are many different ways that a hands-free vibrator can be controlled. At its most basic is the Luxe Touch-Sensitive Vibrating Dildo. There is a button at the base of the model and it has a suction cup bottom to get full enjoyment out of it. Likewise, the Dame Eva II also has a button it.
Both the Desire Luxury and the We-Vibe Vector are controlled via app. Either you or your partner can control the vibrator, and in some cases when you’re completely apart. The controls are easy to use with both vibrators ad the app means you can use the vibrator discreetly, even when out in public.
Finally, the Pulse Duo Lux is the most interesting as it is controlled by a wristband. In fact, two wristbands are included in your purchase which makes it perfect for partner play. The wristbands are in an elegant black color and blend in so that even if they were worn in public, nobody would notice them.
Other features
There are a lot of specific attributes that each hands-free vibrator has. For example, the Luxe Touch-Sensitive Vibrating Dildo is both harness-compatible and has a suction base. You can use it in many different ways to make it hands-free.
The Desire Luxury sets itself apart from the rest because of its included accessories. It comes with a pair of elegant panties that has an area for you to tuck the vibrator into, so that it holds steady. It also comes with a carrying case, so that you can bring the vibrator wherever you go.
