The Basics . . .
Why Use Vibrators?
Vibrators are designed to stimulate your most pleasurable areas. This includes the clitoris, vulva, and G-spot. Of course, you might also want to feel different sensations on your clitoris, vulva, or G-spot with the help of something other than a finger, tongue, or penis.
Vibrators also let you try things you might not normally do – for example, anal play.
Of course, vibrators and sex toys are also called toys for a reason – they add pleasure, fun, and playfulness to your sex life and relationship. They let you explore what feels good, add variety to your sexual play, and experiment with new types of sensation.
Vibrators and sex toys help you figure out what feels good and brings you to orgasm, all good things to know for yourself and to share with a partner.
Vibrators are just another way to experience pleasure.
What Happens If You Don’t Like A Vibrator?
Give it at least 3-4 tries before you judge the vibrator. Whenever you try something new, the first couple of times you are focused more on the newness and sometimes awkwardness of the situation. Your body isn’t used to the sensation and your mind might wander a bit. Also, depending on where you are in your menstrual cycle (or even menopause), your body can react differently to vibrators. Your body has different needs during those times, which can affect how well vibrators can work.
It’s also important to remember that everyone is different and has a different body. What works for one, may not work for you. So, there is no one “best” vibrator out there – there’s only the best toy for YOU!
Why Do You Want A High-Quality Luxury Vibrator and Sex Toy?
Luxury vibrators are higher quality products.
Would you rather drive a Maserati or a Ford? If price were no object, the answer is simple: you would want to drive a Maserati. Why? It’s faster, made with better materials, more exclusive, etc.
The same is true with high-quality luxury vibrators. They are:
- made of body-safe materials (rather than toxic chemicals that are harmful to your body)
- quieter
- more powerful
- innovative
- rechargeable
- waterproof
- built to last a long time (or will be replaced if they don’t!)
Luxury vibrator manufacturers maintain rigorous standards for their products, spend a lot of time and money on research and development, and stand by their products with at least one-year warranties.
Luxury, quality, and safety come at a price! Remember: you get what you pay for when it comes to vibrators.
High-end sex toys and vibrators are made with body-safe materials. The best materials are non-porous and non-toxic. Medical-grade silicone is often used, which is excellent at transferring vibrations and comes in many different textures and finishes. Other premium materials include stainless steel, borosilicate glass, Elastomed, and ABS plastic.
Choosing a luxury vibrator and sex toy can be difficult, especially if you are shopping online. There are lots of sex toys out there. So, how do you know which is the right toy for you, especially if you are a beginner to vibrators and sex toys?
Not all vibrators are created equal, especially if you’re just starting out and looking for sex toys for beginners. You should look for unique features to help you have a good first few experiences.

Luxury Vibrator and Sex Toy Categories
External Vibrators
External vibrators stimulate the vulva and clitoris. Some luxury vibrators offer pinpoint stimulation of the clitoris while others offer broad stimulation of the entire vulva.
How does the clitoris work?
The clitoris and penis started out in the embryo as the same genital tissue. Somewhere between 8 to 12 weeks after conception, the Y chromosome determines that this organ will be a penis. The clitoris develops from the same tissues that become the glands and upper shaft of the penis. This shared embryonic origin makes these two organs different versions of the same structure. The clitoris has approximately 8,000 sensory nerve endings and affects over 50,000 nerves all over the body when stimulated. The clitoris resembles a wishbone, but you can only see the tip (the clitoral head) or the hood (the foreskin). There are two clitoral “legs” inside the body that goes along your labia and can be massaged or stimulated during penetration and extend down the vaginal wall.
How does the clitoris help women orgasm?
With so many nerve endings, the clitoris is the only part of the body that is designed solely for pleasure and has no other purpose. Although women might get older, the clitoris never ages. Once it matures, it’s ready to get to work and seek pleasure whenever she is ready.
What kind of signals does the clitoris send to the brain?
The clitoris is the gateway to pleasure for many people with vulvas. When stimulated, the clitoris sends pleasure signals to the brain.
People tend to misunderstand the following:
- Similar to how every woman’s body is different, so is the shape, color, and size of every woman’s clitoris. Some are small, some are big, some are hidden, while some aren’t shy. While aroused, some increase in size, while others remain under the hood. Some love a lot of pressure, while others prefer a soft touch.
- As a woman gets older and thanks to her hormones, her body changes. During puberty, the clitoris starts to grow. By the time she’s in her 30’s, the clitoris will be about 4 times bigger than it was at puberty. After menopause, the clitoris will be about 7 times larger than it was at birth.
- Approximately 70% of women need some sort of clitoral stimulation to orgasm
- The clitoris gets erect. Although you might not be able to see an erect clitoris, it fills up with blood during arousal. This blood is trapped in the clitoris until it is released with an orgasm.
Internal Vibrators
Internal vibrators stimulate G-spot and the area around the G-spot. These vibrators should be curved to properly stimulate the G-spot. Some stimulate the clitoris and vulva at the same time and these are often called rabbit vibrators (or dual stimulation vibrators).
What is the G-spot?
The G-spot, or Gräfenberg Spot/zone (named after the German gynecologist who first “discovered” it), is a bean/peanut shaped area (a system of glands & ducts) inside the vagina. When aroused, it grows to the size of a walnut, and it feels rougher than the rest of the vaginal wall because it is composed of erectile tissue. When you are aroused, it swells up when blood rushes to it. (It feels like the roof of your mouth.)
Just like anything else, everyone is different and not one body is built the same way because each of us has sensitive nerve endings in different places. Therefore, it is still unknown if ALL women have a G-spot, but some definitely feel powerful sensations when that area is touched, especially when also stimulating the clitoris.
Some medical professionals doubt whether the anatomical structure corresponds to an orgasm or whether the stimulation affects other sensitive areas of a woman. When the tissue is stimulated, the tissue lifts the vaginal wall either triggering sensations around the clitoris or sending its own set of sexual sensations.
Where is the G-spot?
It’s an area of spongy erectile tissue that surrounds the urethra about 2-3 inches on your vaginal wall towards the belly button (towards the front of the vaginal wall close to the uretha). The G-spot is easiest to locate when a woman is sexually aroused because the tissue is swollen, making the area firmer than the rest of the surrounding vaginal wall. Many people find it easier to have someone else locate their G-spot.
Couples Vibrators
Couples vibrators and sex toys are used so that both partners can feel pleasure during penetration. They are often hands-free sex toys. Couples vibrators and sex toys stimulate the clitoris and sometimes both the clitoris and the G-spot at the same time during penetration.
Anal Vibrators
Anal vibrators stimulate the anus and help relax the anal sphincters to prepare for anal play. During orgasm, anal muscles contract along with the muscles of the vagina (or penis). (Plus, the internal clitoris extends as far as the anus.) So, anal vibrators intensify pleasure.
For beginners, it is wise to start with a small vibrating butt plug (and go slow!). All anal toys should have a flared base. When comfortable, you can work your way up.
SEX EDUCATOR TIP:
Whenever experiment with anal, you want to make sure you or your partner is relaxed, you start small and work your way up to longer, wider things. Don’t forget to use A LOT of anal lubricant (when you think you’ve added enough, add a little more).
Here are our tips for safe and pleasurable anal play:
- Communicate
- Listen
- Go S L O W!
- Use Lube! It is very wise to be prepared with anal lubricant, which is thicker than regular lubricant. Anal lube stays on the skin longer providing a more comfortable feeling by reducing friction and sensation.
- Anal play should not hurt. If it does, that means that you are not doing one of the suggestions above.
Do You Need to Use Lubricant?
YES!!!
Lubrication during sexual play is important. That is because lube makes sex BETTER and makes sex more comfortable. The act of sexual intercourse often creates friction. If there is not enough lubrication, small tears could occur in the vagina, which could increase the risk of urinary tract infections, STIs, and other types of infections.
Just as important, personal lubricant makes sex much more pleasurable. Every sensation is enhanced which will allow you to feel every movement at a heightened level.
For anal play, lubrication is a must. Unlike the vagina, the anus does not produce natural lubrication. Therefore, lube is necessary. Plus, lube makes anal play more comfortable. Anal lubricant, which is thicker than regular lubricant, stays on the skin longer and provides a more comfortable feeling by reducing friction and sensation.
If you are using sex toys, it’s always smart to use personal lubricant. Toys tend to dry up as they are exposed to air, making for uncomfortable re-entry.
Most of the time, our bodies produce enough natural lubricant to be comfortable everyday. However, if you are having sex or using toys, you may need more than what nature provides, especially if you are experiencing hormonal changes, on medications or experiencing stress.
Using personal lubricant is not a sign of a broken body or a failed libido. Instead it’s the most normal thing in the world.
We recommend water-based lubricant when using sex toys and silicone-based lube when using non-silicone sex toys or during sex or during sexual play in the shower/bath tub.

How To Clean Your Luxury Vibrators
It’s very important to clean your luxury vibrators before and after each use. Regular soap and water can leave a residue. For people with vulvas, regular soap can potentially change your pH, which can make you dry. Luxury vibrators should be washed with sex toy cleaner.
