How to choose a vibrator

Choosing a vibrator can be an overwhelming experience! The LOVE Team has written this buyer’s guide to introduce you to the wide range of vibrators on the market, so you can make the right choice with respect to the perfect material, features and price.

Our aim is to help you find the ideal vibrator for your needs, whether you’re a beginner or an expert. Ready? Let’s get started!

Vibrators: intense pleasure at your fingertips

Vibrators offer an extensive array of advantages that go beyond mere sexual gratification. They are excellent tools for self-exploration and understanding one's body, especially when it comes to discovering and understanding your personal erogenous zones. Using a vibrator will help you understand what kind of stimulation gives you the most pleasure, enhancing your sexual self-awareness. Vibrators also act as stress relievers, providing relaxation through their therapeutic physical sensations, which can lead to an overall improved sense of well-being.

Plus, vibrators can significantly increase your pleasure, whether during solo play or partner play, leading to a more satisfying sexual experience.
They can also contribute to better, deeper sleep, as the release of endorphins and subsequent relaxation post-orgasm often lead to a restful slumber. A vibrator is more than a sex toy—it's a tool for improving your overall personal well-being!

Which material should I choose for a vibrator?

Vibrators can be made from a wide variety of materials, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. In this section, we’ll help you understand the differences and narrow down your choice.

A silicone vibrator

Silicone models are among the most popular vibrators. Silicone has many advantages. Thanks to their silky feel, they are easy insertion, making them very popular with beginners. Non-porous and hypoallergenic, silicone vibrators are easy to clean and bodysafe.

Silicone is a little more expensive than other materials, but you can think of your silicone vibrator as an investment, as it will last for years. Finally, silicone is a flexible material, so you’ll have greater freedom of movement and more comfort while using your toy.

A TPE/TPR vibrator

A TPE/TPR vibrator is an affordable option for those who want a quality toy without spending a lot of money. The texture of TPE and TPR is very realistic, almost like real human skin. However, TPE/TPR is also a porous material, so you’ll need to take special care to clean it thoroughly to maintain its quality and hygiene.

An ABS/plastic vibrator

ABS/plastic vibrators can be a wallet-friendly option, as they’re generally even less expensive than TPE/TPR. Affordable and easy to clean, these firm textured vibrators provide more intense clitoral stimulation. However, you may find this material less comfortable than silicone or TPE/TPR.

A metal vibrator

Metal vibrators are perfect for those who prefer a firmer feel. With its ultra-stiff texture, this type of vibrator is also easy to clean and extremely durable.

These vibrators also have an original look: you can even leave your metal vibrator out on the bedside table, as it looks just like a nice decorative object.

Beware that metal can be cold to the touch and may take some time to warm up!

Is a good vibrator expensive?

If you don’t have much of a budget, don’t worry. You’ll definitely find a good quality vibrator at an affordable price. The simplest models are often the cheapest. Higher-end vibrators with extra features are made from higher quality materials, which will of course be more expensive.

Take the time to choose the right vibrator for you. Remember that high-quality vibrators have a longer lifespan, so paying a little bit more for your new toy will be worth it.
