How Do Vibrators Work?

Short Answer: The movement of a vibrator is created by an electrical mechanism inside it. The motors in battery-powered vibrators are small and have an off-center weight that spins around, making them shake. Larger, plug-in vibrators have bigger, more powerful motors, and some models use spinning electromagnetic coils to create movement.

Do All Vibrators Feel the Same?

Short Answer: No, vibrators vary greatly in speed and intensity of vibration, from a gentle hum to a merciless throb. Some have multiple speeds and settings, and the material that they are made out of will also affect the sensation produced. Battery-powered vibrators are generally less powerful, while plug-in electrical models have stronger motors.

How do I use a vibrator to give myself an orgasm?

What kind of lube should I use on my vibrator?

Can I insert a vibrator in my ass?

Short Answer: Most dildo type (penis shaped) vibrators can be inserted in the ass, but you shouldn't insert anything in your ass that doesn't have a flange or wide base at the bottom that will keep it from going all the way inside you. If you want to combine anal stimulation and vibration, use a vibrating probe especially designed for anal use, or a vibrating butt plug.
