How To Use a Vibrator

Know The Vibrator That Works Best for You

There are external, internal, and dual vibrators. Knowing the vibrator that works best for you increases the chances of screaming orgasms.

Understand Different Types of Sex Toy Materials

Sex toys are either made from porous or non-porous materials. Porous materials include Cyberskin, nylon, leather, hard plastic, jelly rubber, and acrylic. On the other hand, non-porous materials include silicon, glass, metal, and ABS plastic.

Familiarize Yourself with the Settings and the Features

Your vibrator will come with a user manual that reveals the settings and features of the toy. It is important to read the manual to know how to operate the device.

Wash The Toy

While most people think new sex toys are safe, that is not the case. They are contaminated and, thus, can harm your genitals. If you have a sex toy made from a non-porous material, wash it with a toy cleaner or unscented soap and water. For sex toys made with porous materials, use warm water and dish soap.

Lube Things Up

Because vibrators can use dryness, you may need lakes of lube to make your solo session or couple sex more fun and exciting.

Turn On Your Vibrator and Leave it on Low setting

After lubricating your private parts and sex toy, turn the device on and leave it on a low setting. Starting on a low setting and gradually increasing the intensity of vibrations can help you avoid overwhelming stimulations and achieve deep orgasms.

Use a Condom

 If you plan to use the toy anally and vaginally, consider throwing a condom into the mix to keep vaginal infections at bay. You may also want to use condoms if you plan to share the vibrator with more than one sexual partner.

Clean Your Toy After Use

After using your vibrator, clean it properly, allow it to dry, and store it in a cool, dry place. Cleaning the toy after use reduces the risk of infections and helps the device last longer.
