Looking for your first vibrator?
Congratulations, you’re about to join the big club of happy boys and girls. But first, let’s take a look at everything you need to know before you head to the store.
1. Size matters
It’s not a “go big or go home” approach. More information on circumference/thickness. And, in my opinion, this is more important than length – because if the stretch is uncomfortable, then a few extra inches won’t mean much.
There is an “average” size – most are between 1-2 inches in diameter, so get out your ruler and see what size feels right to you.
notes: please remember Every woman/man is different. Therefore, judgments about “average” sizes should be taken with a grain of salt.
The best thing to do is to compare your past experiences and think about which penis felt best. Was it skinny or the width of a coke can? Maybe something in between?
If you are not sure, I recommend going with something thinner the first time.
Once you figure that out, you can then think about how long you want it for.
2. Understand your orgasm
The most popular toy is the rabbit vibrator, and for good reason –Most women are unable to orgasm through penetration and require clitoral stimulation.
If this is the case, make sure you buy a product that has extra arms. There are also products with bumps or textures available. Also, don’t forget about upright clitoral vibrators or wands. These don’t require insertion and may be friendlier to first-time users.
3. Shape and style
No, they are not just straight axes. They have:
- G-spot Toys (with a slight curve or bump on the end)
- Vibrator (A buzzing dildo)
- Rabbit Vibrator (with clitoral arms and clitoral shaft)
- Wearable dildo (Not a harness, but a real dildo, which should have a special flared base to fit the o-ring)
- Strapless (similar to a strap-on, but without a seatbelt)
- Porn Star Molding (Yes, you can get a copy of someone’s dick)
- Double Head (Play with a partner)
- Ejection (Some have tubes that eject fake semen)
- DIY (Clone-A-Willy crafting kit to shape your man’s penis)

4. Choose safe materials
The sex toy industry isn’t as regulated as you might think, and there are a lot of things out there that can do horrible harm to your body.
You need to stick with safer materials such as:
- Medical grade stainless steel
- Medical grade silicone
- Properly sealed wood or ceramic
- Carefully crafted soda lime or borosilicate glass (few stress points)
- ABS (hard) plastic will also work.
All of these materials are non-porous So it won’t retain any liquids, body fluids, bacteria, etc. that might remain or grow on the toy (yes, your toys can get moldy if you don’t take care of them properly).
As we all know, the smoothness of silicone is different from its surface effect. It is normal to have a slight “drag” phenomenon, which can be fixed by the following methods Add a little lubricating oil (This is a good idea for all insertable toys).
Not sure which lubricant to use? This article will teach you:

The material also affects the firmness, rigidity and flexibility of the toy.which in turn affects the feel. This is another aspect that falls into “personal preference”. If you don’t know, you can choose the mid-range price.
5. Pay attention to water
Splashproof, waterproof and water resistant. You will hear these terms in the description section of most toys.
Waterproof is the only option that can be fully submerged in water. The rest can only be splashed (such as in the shower).
You also need to be more careful cleaning them because if water gets inside it can damage the internal components. Solid toys with no electrical parts obviously won’t have this problem.
6. Vibrator base
It is worth mentioning the bottom of the toy.
If you want to stick it to a wall, floor, or shower, there is a suction cup option.
Howeverif you want an anal toy, it must have a flared base so that it doesn’t get lost in the colon. No flared base = no hip play.
Also, if it requires batteries, double-check that the cover comes off easily and that it has a good seal that is at least splash-proof.

7. Buy from reputable sellers
That means not eBay or Amazon. Both places are rife with fakes that advertise certain materials and quality etc but fail to deliver 90% of the time.
Case in point: I bought a set of Duotone Kegel balls that were supposedly 100% silicone…but when I put them in the flame test, they melted like snowmen in a furnace. Failure.
I have also heard of some horror stories about toys being resold after being returned. You don’t have to worry about this with toys from the big brands like Svakom, Leaf, Lovense or Hitachi.
- If it’s really cheap, it’s probably junk, so don’t be surprised if it breaks after 1-2 uses.
- If this is a well-known brand sold out on an unknown website, then possible Is it a knockoff (probably not, you can always contact the manufacturer and make sure the seller is authentic.)
notes: Aneros, Crystal Delights, Divine Interventions, Happy Valley, Fun Factory, Jimmy Jane, OhMiBod, Tantus, Tenga, We-Vibe, Bad Dragon, and more are some places you can trust.
These two sites are also valuable information for any sex toy enthusiast – holisticwisdom.com and dangerlilly.com
8. Know your budget
Cheap usually means bad… but not always.
Expensive usually means good… but not always.
It all depends on how much you’re willing to spend on your first toy. Spending $200 only to hate it can be devastating.
good news, There are many mid-range toys This only costs about $60.
9. Vibration motor
![Buying your first vibrator, dildo or 3 Buying your first vibrator, dildo or 1721964877 638 Buying your first vibrator dildo or](https://ps-eden.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/1721964877_638_Buying-your-first-vibrator-dildo-or.jpg)
Vibrations are a matter of personal preference…what works for one person may not work for another. Person A may like the lightest vibrations, while Person B may prefer deep, deep vibrations.
Generally speaking, A bigger motor will provide a better, deeper, more booming feel (Which most people prefer.) However, they may be a bit too intense for a novice. Smaller motors will be cheaper, but won’t perform as well, or last as long.
also, Read the instructions! Most people don’t care, and you could be missing out on some important information about extending the life of your toys.
For example: Did you know that not charging your toys for a few months can cause serious damage to them?
The most important thing to remember is No toy lasts forever. It will eventually break down. That is a fact.
10. Other matters needing attention
- Is there a warranty? What does it cover?
For example…
I bought a wearable Je Joue with a long range pen remote control and the hostess said the toy has a 1 year money back guarantee.
I tried it, hated it, and returned it 2 weeks later. They said “Sorry, we can’t take returns. The toy may be covered under warranty, but the pen remote needs batteries and there’s only a 1 week return policy).
- If it’s a vibrating dildo, Battery-powered ones are usually not as powerful as USB-charged ones.
- As for patterns and other “special” features, Most women prefer steady vibrations And not erratic or even steady waves – just something to think about.
