A Guide to Purchasing a Vibrator for Beginners

Written by: Hannah H | Published on December 2, 2024

Self-exploration and masturbation are essential parts of sexual wellness and a healthy sex life. While many can feel a bit unsure and sometimes even embarrassed about the idea of pleasuring themselves, the truth is that masturbation is a form of self-care.

If it is your first time purchasing a vibrator, you are in the right place. This guide walks you through everything you need to know about vibrators for beginners, including how to choose your first vibrator, tips for first-time use, and where to shop.

When you first begin browsing the web for your first vibrator, you'll be met with an overwhelming number of options. From different shapes and sizes to ones with unique functions, it can be challenging to narrow down the right vibrator for you.

When picking out your first vibrator, your preference for internal or external stimulation or both should be a top consideration.

Those looking for a vibrator for beginners that pleasures both internally and externally may consider a Rabbit model.

When using a Rabbit vibrator internally, an additional attachment lines up with the clitoris to pleasure it simultaneously with the G-Spot. This allows the user to experience both pleasure on their clitoris and the G-spot at the same time, which can lead to some pretty powerful orgasms.

Many vibrators come with various speeds and vibration patterns/intensities, which can be changed during masturbation. You will want to consider whether this is an important factor when purchasing your first vibrator. While many toys offer these features, not all do so, so it is worth looking into before clicking “buy now.”

Additionally, consider the noise level of your chosen toy. Some vibrators will be louder than others, so consider the amount of privacy you need. You can examine the specifications to determine if the vibrator operates at a low noise level and compare it to your personal preferences.

Now that you are more comfortable with what to look for in your first vibrator, your next step is to consider the different categories. Some of the most popular vibrators for beginners are bullet vibrators, wands, Rabbit vibrators, and discreet options.

Bullet Vibrators

Bullet vibrators are a common first-time toy for many. These vibrators are ideal for beginners looking to explore externally and stimulate their clitoris. Because of their small size, they are often less intimidating to beginners and more discreet, offering a private experience that pinpoints sensitive areas.

Wand Vibrators

Wand vibrators are larger and more powerful than bullet vibrators. This type of sex toy is effective for external stimulation, such as that on the clitoris. However, due to the large size of their head, it is unlikely wand vibrators will be used internally to stimulate the G-spot.

With that said, these vibrators are perfect for those looking to achieve a clitoral orgasm. However, remember that these vibrators are noisier than other options as they tend to have more power behind them.

Rabbit Vibrators

Known for their dual stimulation, rabbit vibrators pleasure both the clitoris and the G-spot, two main pleasure centers for women. They’re a fantastic option for those curious about exploring G-spot stimulation while still enjoying clitoral pleasure.

While they can be a bit more daunting than other vibrators, such as a bullet, rabbit vibrators are a fan favorite among many!

Discreet Options

For those seeking something more discreet, lipstick-shaped vibrators, mini bullets, finger vibrators, or wearable options like vibrating panties are excellent. These designs are easy to conceal and ideal for those who want to keep things private while exploring. Even though these options are small, they still offer a selection of settings and powerful vibrations.

#1 Wash Your Hands and Your Toy

Before diving headfirst into pleasuring yourself, there are a few prior steps you will want to take, starting with clean hands and a clean toy. Using a gentle antibacterial soap, thoroughly cleanse your hands and your toy.

Next, consider using a water-based lubricant. This can help your vibrator slide inside more quickly, making it more enjoyable and less friction-prone.

#2 Take Your Time Exploring

Stop worrying whether you are masturbating correctly or not. When using your vibrator for the first time, instead of “doing it right,” try experimenting with the various vibration and intensity settings. 

Play around with yourself until you find which spots feel the best. Be sure to relax your body, as pressure can cause you to be unable to orgasm.

#3 Put Your Safety and Comfort First

It is always best to start on the lower side of the intensity levels. You can gradually increase the rhythm and vibration intensity as you become more comfortable. Avoid leaving the vibrator on one spot for too long, as it can cause irritation and discomfort.

Most importantly, listen to your body…it will tell you what it needs, likes, and doesn't like.

#4 Store and Clean Your Vibrator Properly

Cleaning and properly storing your vibrator is as essential as the use itself, if not more so. Cleaning and storing your toys in a dry space between uses can prevent bacteria build-up. If vibrators are used without proper disinfection, you can put your private parts at risk for some rough, unwanted infections.
