7 posts tagged “anal vibrators”

Having read through an article in The Times on "10 things to know before buying a vibrator" I was unimpressed to see hardly any of it was actually advice. Most was just a history of the vibrator, which is not really the same thing. The history of the motor car won’t necessarily help you buy the right car now, and thus I decided to write something myself that gives a brief overview of what things are helpful to look out for when buying the infamous Vibrator!

Size
This typically applies to penis shaped, or phallic vibrators, as opposed to bullet or egg vibrators. Making sure your vibrator isn’t too big or too small can be very important, though mainly for penetrative reasons. If you are only using it for its vibrating function to stimulate without penetration, size is less important. You may need to experiment to find the right size, though buying vibrator after vibrator can be a real pain. Perhaps try using something within the household to gauge how it would feel (I will leave what you could use up to you, but don’t put it back in the fridge after)

Design
This comes down to knowing yourself and what gets you off? Are you someone who finds pleasure in penetration? Or do you prefer clitoral stimulation? Perhaps you like both, or have other specific places you like stimulated? If you enjoy penetration do you want anal penetration?
There are many different designs of vibrators from the traditional phallic shape (typical for penetration) to egg vibrators and bullet vibrators (designed with clitoral stimulation in mind) to the rabbit vibrators which are designed to do both. You may find a more realistic penis vibrator to be better for anal penetration, whereas a smooth plastic vibrator may feel better against your skin, or stimulating your nipples.

Materials
Know what your vibrator is made of. Why? Well first off feel can make a great deal of difference. You may prefer a harder, smoother surface, or a nubby rubber feel, or a more lifelike silicone material.
Secondly what a vibrator is made of can affect the lubricant you may need to use. Some lubricants may work fine with one material, but actually damage another.
Third thing to remember; is it waterproof? You don’t want to ruin your new vibrator by getting it wet and finding out it isn’t a waterproof vibrator whilst in the bath. Water proof applies to immersing in water, not from getting wet during orgasm or stimulation.

Functions
Yes they all vibrate no big surprises there. However many do more than that, some have variable vibrating speed settings, some have thrusting actions and others have vibrating "ears" (the rabbit vibrators) to give clitoral stimulation during penetration.
With egg and bullet vibrators these have no penis like qualities at all, instead they go for a discreet look and aim to be better suited for sensually massaging and stimulating body areas, however these often have a separate controller to adjust speeds and pulse frequencies whilst using the sex toy or to allow a partner control of your pleasure.

Lubrication
Normally only important for penetrative vibrators, lube can actually aid the feel of those that concentrate more on stimulation as many lubricants can add sensitivity to the skin and sexual organs. However as stated before make sure you get the right lube for your sex toy (this should be conveyed in the product description or on the packaging). Some lubricants can damage a vibrator, but are fine for other applications or even vibrators made from different materials.
Examples of lubrications include ID Glide lube, ID Millennium lube, ID Juicy lube and ID Sensation lube.

Price
Some vibrators can seem very expensive, others very cheap. There is no real way to be certain which is best for you, so try not to let cost sway you in any direction. Look for what you think will be best for your needs, after all you probably won’t be buying a new vibrator every week, so you’ll probably become very attached to your new sex toy, so make sure your purchase is based on what you want, not on going for the cheapest (or most expensive).

Noise
Try to find out how noisy the vibrator is. Most egg and bullet vibrators are fairly quite, to allow discreet use. Other vibrators such as rabbits and thrusting vibrators can be noisier as they are normally only going to be used in the confines of the bedroom or bathroom. So see if a vibrator has a product description or review which mentions how loud it is, and whether you’ll have to make sure no one else is home before using it.

Brand
There are many, many different brands of vibrators out so it can be a bit of a minefield, expensive doesn’t necessarily mean good and cheap doesn’t necessarily mean bad. Looking for a brand name can help ease these worries as you can be assured they have been doing this for some time and have a good understanding of what makes a sex toy. A few known brands include ABS and the Berman Centre, which are a range of sex toys designed by a woman, Dr Laura Berman.
Brand is not the be-all and end-all of vibrator quality, but they can be a good place to start.

Appearance
Many vibrators are fairly indiscreet when it comes to their appearance, but then again it can be hard to make a replica penis look like anything else. Added to this they can be rather brightly coloured, which can make it even more embarrassing when someone finds one you’ve left around.
There are companies that try to go for a more simplistic, discreet or stylish look, with some vibrators not looking anything like the stereotypical product. Of course vibrating eggs, clit stimulators and bullet vibrators can look very unassuming, making them good choices for those of nervous dispositions.
Making sure the vibrator you choose looks good can be as important as how it feels to many women, though more than enough only care about the pleasure and care little what it looks like. The good news is there is something out there for everyone’s tastes when it comes to appearance.

And for the Guys
Yep guys can and do use vibrators as well. Some like the sensation of the vibrations against skin or genitals; others enjoy the feeling given by penetrations due to the prostate gland being located in the anus, as a matter of fact there are several anal vibrators on the market designed for prostate and g-spot stimulation specifically.
Vibrators aren’t only just for gay men either. Many straight guys use vibrators with their partners to both share in giving them pleasure, exploring new avenues and as previously mentioned because of the prostate being a pleasure spot for men.
All the above tips are as important to men as it is for women, though is worth mentioning that if for any reason you plan to share a vibrator with a partner (male or female) make sure you use a condom and are practising hygienic sex.

Vibrators were first invented, and introduced by a man called Kelsey Stinner in the 1880’s as a means to treat Female Hysteria. Back then this was considered and affliction of sorts or congestion of the genitalia. The typical treatment was for a physician to manually stimulate and relieve the congestion (which would be considered masturbation by todays standards). However this was considered by the doctors to be time consuming hard work and thus the vibrator was created.

The first vibrators were electrically powered and provided a much quicker solution to the problem and with very little effort a women could be relieved of her condition (or achieving sexual climax as it would be know today). These vibrators were far from the products we see these days and many were very large and cumbersome.

Over the years vibrators have changed and slimmed down, and for a while they became extremely popular, with adverts for them appearing in women’s magazines and literature. It was around the 1920’s that they became a taboo subject, being associated with pornography (which they had began to appear in regularly) and they were no longer considered a normal household appliance.As science evolved, so did the understanding of medicine and female hysteria was no longer recognised as an actual medical condition. However by then vibrators were here to stay and had become a popular sex toy.

Since the early 80’s vibrators have become more and more visible in mainstream culture and since the turn of the millennium have become very common indeed. Though you won’t find them in a typical supermarket or electrical good shop, TV shows and the mainstream media have removed many of the taboos that became associated with these sex toys, mainly due to the more relaxed views on sex in general as we evolve as a society.

These days there are so many different styles, shapes and designs of vibrators you might not know where to start. They can be the traditionally penis shaped vibrators, or the infamous rabbit vibrator, there are strap on vibrators, realistic penis vibrators, thrusting vibrators and many that don’t even look like a penis at all, such as bullet vibrators.

With such a huge selection on the market it is obvious vibrators are here to stay, and though they don’t treat any medical condition these days, many people would say their vibrator is a vital part of their sexual life.

To look at it you’d probably take a few guesses exactly just what the Nexus Dual Vibrating Massager is for. It looks very modern, is discreet and smooth, and looks like at best it’s a strangely designed ornament. But looks can be deceiving (which can be a good thing if someone finds it by mistake!) and this sex toy is designed specifically.

The Nexus Dual Vibrating Massage is in actuality a dual use G spot stimulator (for her) and prostate massager (for him). It is ergonomically designed and angled to give the maximum pleasure to its user, be it female or male, and helping achieve a heightened orgasm. For added effect it can be inserted into the anus during intercourse providing him, or her, an added level of electricity (figuratively, not literally).

It is made from quality soft silicone rubber and looks like a rather simple, though unique, white object; it's approximately 3.5 inches long and 2.5 inches wide. This, as stated before, helps it keep its profile low, but is made to stimulate all the right spots at the right times. It’s so discreet you could use it as a coffee table ornament (...though it’s probably best you don’t).

The vibrator is powered by 1 standard L1154 battery, which is similar to a slightly larger watch battery. We supply 3 batteries with this sex toy at www.turnmeon.co.uk. We advise the use of water based sexual libricants such as ID Glide lube, and a sample of lubricant is provided for free with the Nexus Dual Vibrating Massager.

Many people ask me, where to start with Sex Toys. Often these are couples looking to experiment, or women looking for some sexual fulfilment. So, here are a few pointers on where best to start with sex toys. This can be looked at from two different angles, sex toys for couples and sex toys for singles.

Firstly when looking for a sex toy to suit a couple, it is important to consider both partners as sometimes the introduction of a toy can make a partner feel insecure. If this is the case it is important to find a toy which provides a part to play for both partners. One solution to this could be the use of a remote control vibrator.

The remote control means the vibrator can be controlled with no awkward fiddling at the base. This is perfect for beginners as the remote control is straightforward and easy to use. The other bonus to remote control vibrators is that you can give the control to your partner and let them take control of your pleasure. This can lead to simple sex games and also instils a sense of trust, which is a good thing for those experimenting with sex toys for the first time.

These styles of remote control vibrators often come with wires. However there is a new ingenious product on the market that uses wireless technology. The Ultra 7 remote control vibrating egg can be used in the same way as a remote control vibrator but without the wires getting in the way. The Ultra 7 remote control egg has many other advantages it is quiet and discreet and when you get a bit more adventurous you can try using out in public, its that quiet nobody will no what you are doing except for the smiles you won’t be able to contain.

The Ultra 7 remote control egg is also the perfect companion to the single woman. Its remote control means no awkward fumbling, it can be used anywhere and the discrete egg shape means underwear draw snoopers will be completely unaware what it does.

So for a Sex Toy suitable for beginners, couples, singles and one that you can gradually become more adventurous with why not try the Ultra 7 remote control egg in a subtle light purple colour or any of our remote control vibrators at turnmeon.co.uk.

Sex Toys come in all shapes and sizes these days. Hardly surprising as the sex toy industry, along with the sex industry in general is a booming business. Sex toys are no longer just sold in dingy and seedy shops that people feel embarrasses about going into. These days there are mainstream stores in the high street, online specialists and superstores; you can even buy sex toys from nightclub vending machines, proving that they are becoming more and more widely accepted in today’s society.

Once stereotyped as either a pleasure for single bored women, or men who can’t get a girlfriend, sex toys have evolved to be more than that, and once facet of this evolution is that more and more sex toys are being used by couples in their sex lives.

Keeping things fresh and exciting in the bedroom is one of the most difficult things for many couples, so the introduction of sex aids and sex toys into the bedroom can be the spice that is needed.

Some couples use sex toy to enhance there already healthy sex live, others use them to rekindle a spark, others use them for necessity (perhaps a medical condition); that’s the good thing, sexy toys don’t discriminate, they are usable for whatever your needs or desires.

Examples of sex toys aimed at couples, as opposed to those made more specifically for a man or woman to use alone (though these are also usable within the couples relationship as well), could be sex swings (to provide a range of new positions for sexual intercourse), strap on dildos and vibrators (for her or him), penis sleeves and extenders (aimed to provide extra length, girth and a ribbed or nubbed exterior for extra penetrative pleasure) as well as things such as handcuffs and simple bedroom bondage toys.

Favourites are toys such as remote control vibrators which give the control over the pleasure and stimulation to whomever has the remote and vibrating cock rings which add pleasure for the male and the female with additions such as a clitoral stimulator to provide pleasure as penetration is made.

Below are a few examples of sex toys for couples that you can buy from adult superstore TurnMeOn.co.uk.

The Touchmatic Arouser & The Ultra 7 Remote Control Vibrating Egg

When people think of sex toys they traditionally think of vibrators and dildos and other things normally associated with the bored housewife. Though these days that seems an antiquated out of date view.

Sex toys are available for men and women, and they aren’t just for single people, or spurned housewives or adult films. Many couples introduce sex toys into their sex lives to add a new element, spice things up and explore new avenues.

The fact that sex toys are becoming aimed at men and women both separately and collectively these days (many incorporate ways to utilise both partners) shows how more accepted and interesting sex toys are becoming. Anal sex toys are becoming some of the most popular of the sex toys as they do just this. Some are meant for men to stimulate the prostrate (or male G –Spot), many are meant for women, often with clitoral stimulators in tandem with anal beads or vibrators, but further still are the anal sex toys that allow interaction from both partners such as double ended dildos and vibrators.

Speaking of prostate stimulation, or prostate massage, too many people place an emphasis on anal stimulation being categorized as an affront to a man’s sexuality, but in truth prostate stimulation is considered on a very similar par as clitoral stimulation for a woman. It’s a medical fact that the prostrate area is a highly sensitive part of the male anatomy, along with the penis, so taking advantage of this makes sense really.

To this end the selection of anal stimuli available is increasing constantly, from anal vibrators to butt plugs, dildos to anal massagers and beyond. But anal toys aren’t just for men as we have said. Many women enjoy anal stimulation as much as men, some more so than clitoral stimulation, and anal toys for women are as plentiful as for men, with many being deigned to provide multiple sexual pleasures both anal and vaginal.

Many reputable companies, such as www.turnmeon.co.uk, stock anal toys along with items such as anal lubes and other hygiene products which are always recommended, they make sure all their products are safe and tested and are high quality and packaging is always discreet and they respect your privacy.

Why?

Because of course there will always be those that think sex toys, be it anal toys or any other kinds are wrong or evil or worse. But the truth is they aren’t; they don’t harm anyone, and all have rules for safe us (along with some common sense). They are simply another avenue for people to explore and experiment with, to see if it is for them, or if it isn’t, and what is life if not an adventure into the unknown?
