Vibrators

What’s the difference between a vibrator and a dildo?

It’s claimed that the oldest dildo is 30 000 years old. In other words, they’ve been around for a long time. Vibrators on the other hand, were originally invented by Victorian doctors to treat apparent "hysteria" in women.

Their main difference is that vibrators are made to vibrate, whereas dildos don’t necessarily vibrate.

Dildos are also usually phallic in design, so that they can be used for penetration, whereas vibrators come in almost any kind of shape and design imaginable. They could be flat, round, curved, straight or even look like a real penis.

The different types of vibrators

Different types of vibrators are designed for different types of stimulation. It may be for pinpoint stimulation, or remote-controlled stimulation.

Here are a few popular types of vibrators:

● Rabbit vibrators – These devices usually have a clitoral stimulator attached to the shaft of the vibrator. The clit stimulator sometimes looks like a pair of rabbit ears, hence the name. Many rabbit vibrators, however, have been innovatively designed and don’t necessarilynecessary look like the traditional versions. 

● Clitoral vibrators – These are designed to give the user’s clitoris maximum stimulation. A common type of clitoral stimulator is the wand massager, which has a bulbous head that delivers intense vibrations.

● Bullet vibrators – If you want to experience pinpoint, precise stimulation exactly where you want, then a bullet vibrator is your best bet. They are similar to mini vibrators in that they are extremely effective yet compact. 

● Remote-controlled vibrators – Sometimes you may want to have hands-free stimulation or bring your partner in on the fun. That’s where remote-controlled vibrators come into the mix. They function just like other vibrators but can be controlled from a distance.

Most vibrators are waterproof, so you can use them in the shower or bath, whether by yourself or with your partner. 

How do you use a vibrator?

Every vibrator has a purpose. To use a vibrator, you should first make sure you know how to work it. Take some time to familiarise yourself with the vibrator’s key functions. Practice switching the vibrator on and changing the vibration modes. Many vibrators have several modes that change the frequency and intensity of the vibrations. Once you’re comfortable with your vibrator’s functions, try using it to stimulate your body. It’s a good idea to use a generous amount of lube when doing this, which can make the experience more sensual and satisfying. If your vibrator is made from silicone, then use water-based lube as silicone-based lube may damage it.

Here are a few ways to use your vibrator:

● Glide your vibrator gently over your body while changing the vibration settings as you go. 

● During foreplay, use your vibrator to stimulate your partner’s genitals until they’re ready to explode.

Are vibrators safe?

At Passionfruit, our sex toys are made from only the highest quality materials that are safe for you and your body. All our vibrators are safe to use, as long as you use them properly. That means you should:

● Make sure your vibrator is always clean by washing it in warm, soapy water or with sex toy cleaner before and after you use it. Leave it to air dry or dab it dry with a clean towel.

● Store it away safely so that it doesn’t get damaged. Preferably in a cool, dry place where it won’t collect dust.

● Never force it into any part of your body. And if you do want to insert it, use water-based lube.

Since most vibrators use batteries, you should also always check that the vibrator’s battery compartment is properly closed before using it.
