how to use a vibrator and hand selected choices from tootimid


Vibrators come in countless varieties, from the standard no-frills, one speed, smooth phallic style, to dual action options, where simultaneous internal and external stimulation is made possible. Additionally, there are rabbit vibrators and even triple action versions, which are astoundingly diverse in that they facilitate highly arousing internal and external stimulation for it’s user. All of these items have one very important thing in common – they vibrate and massage against you, providing the constant movement needed for many to achieve an orgasm.

It does not matter whether you are new to vibrator use or have a few in your toy chest; everyone is unique, and needs meticulous attention to detail when pleasure or self-exploration is the goal.

As you read some of our tips and tricks below, be sure to check out our demonstration video about how to use a vibrator with tips that are sure to get you going to help you learn more about the pleasures of your body!

First, find which stimulation you'd like to start with!

The way you use a vibrator depends on what type of vibrator it is. One of the best places to start is to determine what your personal pleasure preference is.

External Vibrators:

These vibrators are designed to be pressed and massaged against the Clitoris, Nipples, and Penis. External vibrators are some of the most popular types of vibrators because they can be placed externally. This means they are not designed to be inserted. These vibrators are most commonly known as:

Internal Vibrators:

These vibrators are designed to be inserted vaginally or anally. You can use these to massage yourself externally, but they are not to be confused with a dual-action vibrator - more on that below!

The most popular internal vibrators on TooTimid.com are:

Dual Action Vibrators:

These vibrators are usually designed with a main stimulator and an external stimulator in one. Most of the time, they are designed to massage your vaginal walls and the clitoris at the same time.

Many Dual Action Vibrators are known as:

Vibrator Prep Tips: Before You Use Your Vibrator

1. BE SURE TO CLEAN YOUR TOY

Whether you have a new toy or are pulling one out of your drawer, it is very important that you wash your vibrator before any session. Using warm water and an adult toy cleaner, make sure you wash all the external surfaces, being mindful of the cap where the batteries are located. If the toy is waterproof, as many of our silicone toys here at TooTimid.com are, you can fully submerge it in soapy water. If not, you must use a special toy cleaner or antibacterial wipes. Don’t forget, you must also clean your vibrator again post-play. Much like anything else you own, the better care you take of your vibrator, the longer it will last.

2. FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH YOUR TOY

If you’re just beginning to experiment with vibrators, familiarize yourself with your new toy’s features. Does it have only one speed or many? For more versatile ones, how do you work its array of features which can include vibration, speed, pulsing, and gyration?

For lube-pairing and cleaning purposes, use a water-based lube to make sure you have lots of slip and comfort while you are exploring your body!

Finally, if your toy requires batteries, your batteries can erode if they are left in the toy post-play, so be sure to check them prior to use.

The Basics Of Vibrator Play

Standard vibrators are used for external stimulation as for many beginners, it is the easiest way to achieve that orgasm or, if you’re lucky, multiple orgasms in one session.

First, the mechanics behind most standard vibes. Traditional vibrators concentrate their vibrations towards the tip of the toy, which means that this area of the toy must be held against yourself to achieve an orgasm. Find the vibration speed that arouses you the most, keeping in mind it is essential to start slow.

Explore Other Pleasure Centers on Your Body

We know our bodies best, and also know that sometimes the biggest, best orgasms come from dramatic revelation and out-of-the-box thinking!

Taking the time to explore your body will reveal to you that your nipples, inner thighs, belly, labia or even anal opening also react very favorably to the stimulating sensations of a vibrator. By doing so, you will find that you are capable of arousing yourself far beyond what you ever imagined. How special is that?

External vs Internal Stimulation

One of the most appealing things about a vibrator is that you can use it externally on your clitoris or other body parts, or internally by way of penetrating to simulate penetrative intercourse.

Going back and forth between internal and external stimulation is also a way to build arousal and provide a more intense orgasm. Note: NEVER go anal to vaginal in any way! While some dual-action vibrators have the ability to provide both internal and external stimulation simultaneously, you can get a similar result by creatively angling the vibrator so that it teases you externally while it penetrates you gently.

If You Have Time, Go For More Orgasms!

Due to both their powerful and direct vibrations coupled with a longevity facilitated by the life of the vibrator, vibrators can certainly increase the chance of everyone exploring what can make them orgasm without having to tired out your hand.

Once you have had a first orgasm, you can move the vibrator near your area of pleasure again and softly work towards your next orgasm. This can help you become multi-orgasmic!

Try to Edge Yourself

Try a technique called edging. For those curious adventurers, edging is the act of getting close to orgasm before backing off the stimulation and coming back down momentarily. Then, you resume stimulation again, repeating the process until you can no longer hold it and finally let yourself climax.

Edging can result in an extremely powerful orgasm for many, and can aid in better understanding your body. The trick behind achieving this with a vibrator is to stop at just the right moment, as stopping too soon won’t give you the same build up and too late means you’re already starting to orgasm, where stopping would negate the entire orgasm.
