Features to consider when choosing a tongue vibrator
Tongue vibrators are increasingly popular. But with so many options, it is natural to feel a bit lost when choosing the best model. With that in mind, we have set aside for you some important criteria that must be considered before making the purchase.
Power
These vibrators have motors that are responsible for the vibration, and these motors need a power source. Most traditional models run on batteries that need to be replaced regularly.
There’s one thing to note in models like the Extra Powerful Tongue Sensation Clitoral Vibrator which offers multiple speeds and different speeds of vibration. The more intense it is, the more the motor will be needed, and the faster the batteries will drain.
With the advancement of battery technologies, many models, such as the Fun Factory Volta Flickering Tongue, are beginning to use rechargeable models with USB cables. These can be connected to mobile devices or directly to the electrical network with the help of an adapter.
Now, if you opt for battery-powered vibrators, you should know that depending on the size of the vibrator, it will carry some batteries or others! Small vibrators like the Power Buddies Clitoral Tongue Vibrator usually have batteries of the LR44 type. And if they are larger vibrators, they can have AA or AAA batteries.
Speeds
Although some models offer only one speed, it is increasingly common to find models that provide different levels of intensity and even different pulse rates. How to adjust the speed depends on each model? In some, you get the change by clicking a button; in others, it is regulated by turning the base of the product. Like the Extra Powerful Tongue Vibrator, you can even find models with wired or remote controls. These allow you to control the speed even remotely, allowing you to explore different fantasies and intensities of pleasure.
Size
Size does matter too. It is not a question; it is an affirmation! So if you are looking for how to choose your first vibrator, don’t take a big size. Start small, explore, play, experiment! It is better to start at the bottom and work your way up! Now in a matter of size, you have three options when it comes to the length.
- Small: Up to 12 cm. The little ones are very handy and very comfortable to carry, for example, when traveling, in your pocket, in your bag, or in the provided bag. You can take them everywhere without attracting much attention. Also, their prices are generally very low. They are the most ideal for starters.
- Normal: 12 to 18 cm. This size is already starting to be something serious, that is, it usually emulates real and larger tongues and average penis sizes (the average they say is between 14 and 16). And also, it is the size with which the vast majority of manufacturers show off their wide range of tongue vibrators. They are also usually the most purchased.
- Large: More than 18 cm. Big vibrators are used by people looking for size! It is not recommended for inexperienced people, so they are usually vibrators for experienced people who like the large sizes!
And what about the circumference of the thickness of the vibrator? The larger the diameter, the greater the stimulus on the inner walls of the vagina or anus. Most models are 2 to 5 cm thick in diameter, but you can find bulky models available on the market. The thickness can also vary across the body of the vibrator. It is very common to find models that have a thinner tip and increase in diameter as they approach the base to increase pleasure without risk of injury.
Flexibility
While experienced people love hard toys, choose a flexible silicone-made tongue vibrator if it’s your first. The flexible and firm ones are, however, the best. They imitate the human flesh and are made of soft plastic and silicone.
Material
There are several materials the tongue vibrators could be made of, let us take a closer look at them:
- Silicone: The silicone vibrators are the best sellers for tongue vibrators since it is also the star material for sex toys in general. Do you know why silicone vibrators are the most popular? Because they emulate human skin and texture, that is, it is the most realistic vibrator! It heats up quickly on contact, is flexible, soft, firm, of high quality, hypoallergenic, and safe. In other words, it is one of the most demanded! So if you are looking for a vibrator, the silicone one can always be one of the best options if you don’t know what you want! So it is a perfect option to get to know your first vibrator. Now the downside is that it is only compatible with water-based lubricants.
- Thermoplastic Rubber: The rubber vibrators or TPR vibrators are the vibrators that live between the firmer and the most flexible. It is like in no man’s land and everyone’s land. These are the materials that ensure very realistic vibrators since they combine them with silicone to get a more than real texture. Looking to give you an idea, they are called CyberSkin or Realskin, and the name is not by chance. Again you must use lubricant for its use, and yes, it will also need to be water-based (we already told you that it is rubber combined with silicone). And if you want to clean it, the best option is a cleaner for erotic toys.
- Thermoplastic Elastomer: Do not be scared, it only refers to vibrators made of rubber but with a different base material! The description would be the same as the previous one, so they are vibrators that are combined with silicone to achieve realistic results.
- Plastic: Plastic happens to be the same as with rubber, that is, it is also combined with silicone. In this case, your goal is not realism but cost reduction. It is hard, resistant, and robust. It withstands vibrations perfectly, and they are usually massager vibrators! If you are looking for a cheap vibrator, plastic can be a good option. But watch out for BPAs!
- Jelly: Gelatin is also one of the cheapest materials. It is also versatile as it is soft and flexible. Also, its finishes can either be very rough, have medium roughness or a completely smooth finish. Another of its strong points is also the colorful finish since you can find them in all kinds. Of course, the downside would be that you have to clean them well since it is a porous material. So the best thing to do is clean it before and after use! As with all other materials, the use of lubricants is highly recommended and, as in the case of silicone, water-based lubricants!
Waterproof
Will I be able to engage it in water? It depends. That would not be the question since the appropriate question would be: do you want to wet it during cleaning or use it in the shower? If your answer is yes, you must use a vibrator that is waterproof, hermetic and can get wet! So before buying a vibrator, decide if you want to use it in the water!
Now, when choosing, keep one essential thing in mind. That it is waterproof does not imply that it can be submerged, so choose well
One thing is a vibrator that you can use in the shower, and the other is a vibrator that you can use in the pool, for example.
