The Lovehoney Guide to Vibrators

Bullet vibrators are a popular choice if you’re looking for your first vibrator, and they’re also one of the best small vibrators to start off with. They’re good vibrators for couples too, thanks to their petite and non-intimidating proportions and their purpose-built precision.

Benefits of Bullet Vibrators:

• Small size and tapered tip offering direct and intense clitoral stimulation
• Ideal for use while having penetrative sex, without causing obstruction to either partner
• At just 2-3 inches in length, they're perfect for popping in your bag for on-the-go pleasure

If you're in a hurry, we recommend the best-selling Bullet vibe (pictured) as an ideal first vibrator.

If you want to treat yourself or your partner to the best in sex toy technology, then opt for one of our luxury rabbit vibrators. These sleek sex toys are designed to look and feel incredible, and are often bought to replace a cheaper vibrator as an upgrade.

Benefits of Luxury Vibrators:

• They’re made from more expensive materials which are more luxurious and longer lasting
• They’re usually rechargeable so you don't have to worry about expensive batteries
• Additional features and functionality allow you to tailor your pleasure and experiment with a wide range of sensations

If you want an easy choice, you can't go wrong with the Happy Rabbit G-Spot Rechargeable Rabbit vibe (pictured).

These vibrators were originally designed to relieve back and neck pain, but they make incredible clitoral stimulators - a discovery that boosted sales of Wand Vibrators the world over. Wands boast some of the most powerful vibrations sex toys have to offer, with many being mains powered (although we stock portable models too, in a range of sizes).

Benefits of Wand Vibrators:

• They boast some of the most powerful motors you'll find in a vibrator, for intense stimulation

• They make for perfect couple’s toys as they’re non-anatomical and great for stimulating all of your erogenous zones (and they're fab for massages too)

• Many are compatible with specially designed Wand Attachments for added thrills

For a 4.5-star rated hit, try the Lovehoney Deluxe Rechargeable Mini Massage Wand Vibrator (pictured).

The term ‘clitoral vibrator’ refers to any vibrator that is specifically designed to stimulate the clitoris (which contains about 8,000 nerve endings, FYI).

Benefits of Clitoral Vibrators:

• Although they’re all designed for clitoral stimulation, there are lots of different types of clitoral vibrators, from toys with stimulating ‘nubs’, to vibrators with a ‘cup’ that surrounds the clitoris
• They’re often larger than bullet vibrators to accommodate bigger motors for more power
• They can stimulate a larger area, making them great for grinding up against

For pure indulgence, we recommend the Mantric Rechargeable Clitoral Vibrator (pictured).

The now-legendary Womanizer brand helped introduce us to a whole new world of pleasure with their clitoral suction vibrators. As the name suggests, these vibes rely on suction rather than direct contact to stimulate the clitoris - and it’s a real gamechanger.

Benefits of Clitoral Suction Vibrators:

• The suction technology offers a unique sensation quite unlike other vibes
• Suction vibes have multiple levels of intensity, allowing you to tailor your pleasure
• They're rechargeable and waterproof, with a tip made from silky silicone

For an easy choice, we suggest the award-winning Womanizer X Lovehoney Pro 40 (pictured), which has a 4.6/5 star rating from over 700 reviews.

These curvy vibes are designed to stimulate one of the most sensitive parts of the vagina - the G-spot - during penetration. G-spot vibrators usually feature an upward curve and a girthy head to ensure maximum stimulation for this sensitive spot.

Benefits of G-Spot Vibrators:

• G-spot stimulation is associated with female ejaculation or ‘squirting’
• They often have different speed settings and functions for intense internal thrills
• Some feature clitoral stimulators for an exquisite blended orgasm

To make things simple for you, we heartily recommend the customer-favourite Fifty Shades of Grey Greedy Girl G-Spot Rabbit Vibrator (pictured).

These classic vibrators have an insertable, non-phallic design, making them an ideal choice for a first vibrator. They can be used for direct clitoral stimulation, but are designed primarily for insertion.

These insertable toys are similar in size and shape to Kegel exercisers (making them an ideal first vibrator), but they have a vibrating motor nestled inside instead of weights.
