With so many types of vibrator available, we have compiled a list of vibrator types with a brief description and a rough guide to the popular uses for each kind.
Plastic vibrators are generally the cheapest type of vibrator available to buy. These are usually best for external stimulation of the clit or elsewhere on the body like the nipples.
Waterproof Vibrators -
These can come in many shapes and sizes and some will also come under other types of vibrator, however, as is fairly obvious, with the vibrator being waterproof it alows for fun and games in wet enviroments like the shower or bath, without fear of damage to your sex toy. Some of the latest waterproof vibrators are in the form of a bath sponge or rubber duck to allow discreet storage and use within your home (or ny where you fancy for that matter).
Rabbit Vibrators -
Rabbits, or jack rabbits as they are some times called, are one of the latest vibrator crazes happening at the moment. There are new and improved types of rabit vibrator being released on to the market regularly. The main feature of a rabbit is that they have a second protruding part out of the side which is shaped like a set of rabbit ears at the top. This is to promote clit stimulation whist the main section is being used for penetration. The vibrating function of rabbit vibrators is generally very advanced with the ability to carry out multiple types of program including rotation of the body in selectable directions. The bingo vibrator also has a second vibration unit built into its head for extra intensity. There has also been versions released now which entail two sets of rabit ears (one set poking out either side) so as to allow anal stimulation at the same time.
Discreet Vibrators -
It may be to carry around discreetly, or maybe even to keep at home discreetly, but whatever the intention, the range of discreet vibrators available to buy is on the increase. Amoung the many types available are lipstick lookalike vibrators, bath sponge or toy look-a-likes or even ones that look like ornaments on the shelf. They come in many disguises and can even be found as key-ring accessories. The uses of these are generally similar to the plastic vibrators however, it does depend on the type you choose to where or when, as well as how the different discreet vibrators can be made best use of.
G-Spot Vibrators -
Well, G-spot vibrators kind of speak for themselves as far as possible or popular uses go. But generally, these are plastic or jelly finish with a curved end or balbous end to aid with reaching and massaging the g-spot. The variation in these types of vibrator tends to be in colour, finish or size but the shape is generaaly the same.
Vibrating Eggs -
Also known as bullet vibrators or pocket rockets, vibrating eggs come in a variety of colours and styles, with the option of either a corded (usually multispeed) control or more recently, several remote controlled vibrating egg versions. These can either be used for external stimulation of the clit and labia, or can be inserted into the vagina. Even more recently has seen the addition of vibrating knickers or pants which use a small bullet vibrator fixed into the underwear in the clitorus region, and can be either manually switched on or can come in a remote controlled version.
Mains Powered Vibrators -
The main benifit of mains powered vibrators is that the intensity of the vibrations can be considerably stronger than with the typical battery powered one. The downside is that you have to be plugged into the mains and end up with all the drawbacks associated with a fixed lead in the way. not to mention that you dont want to get these vibrators wet!
Realistic Shaped Vibrators -
Generally known as realistic, super realistic or sometimes real skin vibrators, the main feature is that they are penis shaped and usually have the whole kabudle including balls and veins, with some even featuring pubic hair. Realistic vibrators tend to be a love 'em or hate 'em affair with some people specifically not wanting a penis shaped vibrator, whilst other prefer the more realistic feel. The finish of these can be one of a variety of materials with jelly or latex featuring at the more budget end of the range, and technologically advanced materials like cyberskin or ultra skin at the top end of the range. Popular use with realistic vibrators is normally for penetration.
Novelty Vibrators -
Some novelty vibrators are intended purely for joke gifts whilst others do have an element of use to them. Such forms as cucumbers and bananas are common but there are stranger types out there. Such as a vibrating periscope so you can see what is happening inside your partner as they get excited.
Double Penetration Vibrators -
These vibes can come in various styles but basically consist of a double pronged design allowing double penetration symiltaneously of the vagina and the anus. They can be realistic or penis shaped, or they can be in less traditional or even ribbed designs to give added stimulation. Some double penetration vibrators can have diffent styles for each prong with the anal penetrator being beaded.
