How To:- Buy the Perfect Vibrator - PlayBlue Blog
Share
Getting a vibrator used to be easy as there was only about 3 types available now we have literally thousands in stock.
Like any purchase all it takes is a little bit of thought. Let us help you with a few simple questions you need to be asking yourself.
What kind of Stimulation do I want?
Most important question to ask yourself is what do you actually want the vibrator to do. We have loads of do-it-all vibrators but if you want focused stimulation you might be better off with a more specialised vibrator.
Stimulate me Everywhere
OK, We sell loads of generalist vibrators so if the answer is a bit of everything we will be suggesting jack of all trade vibrators like the Vive Sora or the Sweet Smile Silicone Thrust or even the Satisfyer Spinning Rabbit or even the Satisfyer Pro+ Wave 4. All will offer tons of play options and stimulation. You need to be looking at Rabbit Vibrators. If you want all over body for him and her a great hand wand is brilliant too.
Let’s focus on Clitoral Pleasure Vibes
We would be moving more towards bullet vibrators and wands. Bullets are my favourite catch-all vibrator so easy to use and versatile. They also don’t get in the way or take over. The Satisfyer Ultra Bullet 5 is magic feels great. The Rocks Off Chaiamo is a PlayBlue legend and constant best seller as it is a power machine. For a power beast you have to look at the Doxy Original Wand, it will be too much vibrator for many though.
Air Pulse Suction Play
Suction play is not for everyone but if it’s for you it will blow you away. If the idea of a gentle throbbing air pulse suction caressing your clitoris is enough to get you handing over fistfuls of cash you might be in the right place. There are a few great options loads from Satisfyer like the Pro2+ which is a the best selling suction play toy in the world through to the Pro3 and loads of variants. Best bet is to browse through all the Satisfyer options until you see the one for you. Then you have the Womanizer. Renowned as the innovator and looks great, a little dear though. If you have the budget might be worth a look.
Deep G-Spot Joy Please
If you want to feel the buzz deep inside and want to lose yourself in rumbly body orgasms you are looking for G-Spot Vibrators. For an amazing experience checkout the Vive Kura a G-Spot vibe that has the lot. Or maybe Javida Thrusting & Licking might have a little too much going on but God it’s good.
Solo Play or Couple Play?
Of course we’d never be prescriptive, you do what you want with the vibrator you end up with. There are vibrators that are better suited to couples play though. So having an idea how you will generally use the vibrator is important too.
Mainly used for Solo Me-Time
Rabbits are often not the greatest choice for partner play as IMHO they tend to kind of take over a little. But for solo play that is what you want. Sweet Smile Thumping Rabbit feels great and is a great reliable rabbit. Happy Rabbit is a brand that really works too and is hugely popular. Satisfyer and Sweet Smile also both have wonderful rabbit options. Bullets and Wands are great too but probably fall into loads of categories. If you like toys you really need a good bullet.
Couples Play
We have couples specific toys designed to be used while having sex like the We-Vibe and Satisfyer Double Joy. But you might also consider a bullet vibe or Wand for extra focussed clitoral or external stimulation. I love the idea of finger vibes too like Satisfyer High Fly just great to add that little extra something.
As an Appetiser - Fore-Play
Let’s slow it down. What’s the rush? Finger Vibes again are great here as is a hand wand like the Rocks Off Oriel. Long time foreplay options are remote love eggs or panty vibes like the Satisfyer Sexy Secret or the Magic Motion Magic Sundae Egg you can start the foreplay at the restaurant.
Make Remote Connections - Distance Play
Distance can’t hold us back why not connect with toys that can be controlled from a distance. Your Partner in Paris can control your Lovense Lush 4 while you control his Lovense Max 2. Makes for the most intense remote lovemaking possible. We have loads of distance play options for him and her.
What Vibrator Features are Make or Break
There are always extra features that are vital. You might be really turned off by a realistic looking vibrator or you live in a shared house with paper walls so noise is a deal breaker. Let us discuss some of the important extra considerations.
Noise
I’ll be honest noise and power are usually a trade off. If you want a power machine you are going to have to accept some noise. The Doxy Wand Original is a wonderful vibrator but is not quiet. Suction vibes tend to be very quiet and bullets and G-Spot vibrators tend to be quieter too.
Materials
Nearly every vibrator nowadays is made from Silicone but again being 100% transparent the difference between a vibrator for €30 and one €99 is huge. You will feel the quality difference guaranteed. Satisfyer as a brand I think feels great as do Svakom and Womanizer. Rabbits especially if they have loads of functions can often feel like wrapped machines.
Size
Best advice I can give you is Too big is useless - remember that. In wands you are ok but a rabbit that is too big is a waste of money. Discreet travel vibes like bullets are just a must have for their ease of use and just focused pleasure. You can just mid-flow grab a bullet and add a little extra buzz without any fuss. I always recommend them.
Price
Again to be totally honest price and quality has a correlation obviously. Brands tend to be a little dearer but I would suggest better value long term. You really can’t honestly expect a €15 vibrator to be as good as a €99 one or even a €49 vibrator no matter what the marketing copy on the product says and it won’t last half as long. Brands you can trust for vibrators are the likes of Fun Factory, Rocks Off, Satisfyer, Lovense, Womanizer, Sweet Smile, Happy Rabbit, Svakom and Vive to name a few. We have loads more too.
Final word
Of course you can always call us or even call in and get the latest best help and advice we can offer you. We honestly want you to get the perfect vibrator so you will have a wonderful experience and then hopefully come back for more.
