Good Vibrations Magazine

If I had a quarter for every time I heard this sentence, I may not be rich, but I would have enough to go to a nice restaurant and a movie. Theoretically, all the vibrators can be the best one, that is why we have so many toys available, but knowing how to pick your toy is what will get you to sing our praises in orgasmic delight instead of a description I read in a book-it will leave you with the ah-h-h without the “Choo” (isn’t it frustrating when you want to sneeze and can’t?)

When you come into one of our stores, and you want help, we will ask you a few questions so we can point you in the right direction. If you have never come into our store you will see the walls filled with all sorts of vibrators and for a first time shopper that can be overwhelming. But fear not, we can help you to find the toy that will give you the most enjoyment.

When I work with someone I will ask if she has ever had a vibrator? If she tells me yes, I will ask what kind of vibe was it-internal or external? Were you happy with the level of intensity it had? Was it multiple speed or single speed? If it is a toy she bought here, it is easier for me to have a reference point. Then at least that can give me a good indication where we should start. Then I will ask if she wants more features or maybe even go in a different direction and maybe suggest a vibrating dildo like the O2 Niagara or a dildo with a separate mini vibe like the Angelina and the Silver Bullet.

If this is her first vibrator, I will recommend a simple smoothie like vibrator such as the Turbo Glider or Lady Luster. They have multiple speeds and because the motor is towards the tip, it is also good to explore clitoris stimulation and the vibe is firm enough to explore G Spot Stimulation. If someone says, “its feels too hard”, I would recommend the velvet Touch, Little Dolly. Or if you don’t mind using a condom maybe the Purple Plunge”.

If a customer has had a toy and realizes that she needs internal/external stimulation we move on to the “twice as nice” line. This is the category the famous “Rabbit” falls under. First of all if you come in asking for the Rabbit that “Sex in the City” put on the map, you are talking about the Rabbit Pearl. It has a strong motor with a cord that attaches the control to the vibrator. The shaft that is 5” that is useable has individual pearls that move loose so you can get the nice internal stimulation that can touch on the pleasure zones including the G spot. It also has the little bunny sitting on the shaft that is for external stimulation.

The reason so many women love the rabbit is because many women need both internal and external to climax. So for many women this is the toy that does the trick. Now here is the other side of the coin, because of where both the pearls are and how the rabbit is placed, for some people, it doesn’t touch the right spot and then it can be down right frustrating. I read one of the reviews online and another person was disappointed because and she actually stopped the internal part because her Kegel muscles were too strong!

Now I am not putting in this feedback to discourage anyone from buying the Rabbit- it is enjoyed by many people, my intention here is to let you know that vibes are not a one size fits all. Please do some research ask our SESAs (Sex Educator Salses Associate) we can tell you the “ins and outs” so to speak to find out if this a good choice for you.

We do have other toys in the “twice as nice” category that may actually be better for you. Here are some examples:

Iconic Rabbit-This premium vibrator is made with the same quality Japanese-made motor as our best-selling Rabbit Pearl, the only difference is the variable-speed vibrator is housed in the cordless base and it is now made of soft elastomer.

Passion Wave Butterfly-This unique, waterproof twice as nice vibrator was clearly designed with pleasure in mind. Thicker than most of our other twice as nice toys, the butterfly shape boasts three distinct intensity levels and provides stimulation to the clitoris and the labia. The “wave” comes in the form of the undulating shaft which was engineered to create a ripple-like movement instead of vibration. The first time I held it in my hand it had the sensation I think of when I feel an actual orgasm.

Rosebud-Pretty and petite, the silky smooth Rosebud is the perfect size for fans of internal and external stimulation who want something a bit smaller than the Rabbit Pearl. This silicone beauty has no ridges or bumps, which makes insertion a breeze and the cute little tickler was specially designed by women to flutter at the sides of the clitoris while providing slightly more pressure in the middle.

Rock Chick -It has an unusual shape that almost looks like a hand weight, but not as heavy-when used with a rocking motion, stimulates the g-spot and clitoris at the same time. If you don’t need the rotating movement, this may be a great toy for you.

Angelina and the Silver Bullet- Sounds like a sci-fi’children’s book. This is actually a Dildo that was moulded from an actual Vulva. Because of how it is designed, once it is inserted, you don’t have to move it around very much for it to touch on all the pleasure zones. If you need Clitoris Vibration, add the Silver Bullet. It is an external vibrator with variable speed that fits in the handle of the Angelina.

If you want a toy that is truly external or a toy you can use with a partner, here are some suggestions that can add the extra spark:

WE Vibe-This sleek and fantastically designed sex toy is perfect for solo use or can be worn during partner sex (with either vaginal or anal penetration) to add a little buzz to your play. Quiet, hands-free, and featuring two distinct speeds, one end of the We-Vibe fits snuggly against the clitoris while the other is inserted for G-Spot stimulation.

Laya-Ergonomically designed to fit the Clitoral area nicely and also any part of the body that curves—the head of the penis, underneath the testicles

Screaming O-Can I hear an “Amen”, it is a disposal Penis ring because the batteries only last 30-40 minutes. But it packs quite a punch to provide a delectable vibration to both partners (there is a reason it is called the Screaming-O).

Bo-If you enjoy the Screaming O, but want a little stronger Penis ring, but don’t have to keep going out and buying a replacement, I highly suggest the Bo. This also provides pleasing vibrations and it is rechargeable.

Fingo-If you are looking for a hands free mini vibe, this is a very nice toy, great for oral sex or any part of the body that wants an extra Zing to partner play.

Now that you have found a toy or toys-why not mix it up? lets talk about materials. There are permeable and impermeable. And depending on how easy you want to clean your toy or if you are prone to sensitivities, here’s the scoop. You will find that the materials that we call “Permeable” (we used to call these materials “Porous”) have little tiny davits, where residue-bodily fluids, lubes or soap can get trapped in the microscopic pockets. In other words, even if you are using things to clean these materials, they will still hold on to a small amount and if you have sensitivities the only way to keep it clean, is to put a condom on the toy. We do sell cheap condoms for only 15 cents a piece. If you want to use the toy just get the condoms and you are good to go!

Some of the materials that fall into this category are:

Jelly Rubber

Elastomer

Cyberskin

The kinds of vibration that the toys have can play a factor in your enjoyment or lack of. There is a buzziness that some of our toys have that do appeal to a lot of people. It does have a stronger feel to them. But to some people, it is too over stimulating and actually irritates the user instead of enhancing the experience.

If you have found this to be the case, then I suggest finding a Thuddier feel. It is strong without the buzziness. The other question I get is “How will I know it is strong enough for me? There is a trick you can use. Take the vibrator and put it to our nose? The same sensitivity you have in your vulva seem to be very comparable the feelings in the tip of your nose.

If is a very wonderful experience when you alone or with a partner to give each other these added enhancements with our toys, it isn’t just a vibrator it is how Lelo sums up their toys it is a “Luxury Erotic Lifestyle Object”. I have a saying I like to use from time to time: “Life is your canvas, create a masterpiece” When it comes to choosing the right toy, you could change this to read: “Your Body is your Canvas, use your toy to create your own masterpiece of explosive color, texture and enjoy!
