Choosing a vibrator can be a hard decision to make, but one standout decision to make is if you’re vibing more with internal or external vibrators. Internal vibrators are definitely not the first cab off the rank for many. They aren’t usually a go-to for first timers but it’s time we gave them the love they deserve! There are so many questions we’ve all had at least once and couldn’t find the right answer for! Rest assured, we have you covered.
It’s time to get all the deets on internal vibes!
But what if it doesn’t fit?
We hear you, we've all had this thought. It's a very valid concern! Our biggest tip? Foreplay is your best friend! No matter where you want to use it internally, warming up is always recommended. It may have been a while since you have had any form of penetration, or maybe you never have. Just like any kind of sex, you don’t have to go straight in, you can take your time to ease into it. A smaller bullet will provide good vibes for any body, or a clitoral vibrator is a great warm up for those with a clitoris - and you can keep it around for the main show too! If you feel worried or stressed, it will make internal play harder because you aren’t as relaxed.
We recommend getting into a position and place where you feel comfortable and safe, go slow, warm yourself up, and use lube. It may also help to familiarize yourself with your toy beforehand - using something like ABBIE for clitoral stimulation first and getting a feel for it will help when you decide to take the dive. Don't be scared - vibrators are your friend! They're ready when you are.
What if it doesn’t feel good?
There is no one size fits all with vibrators, you can always play around with settings and patterns to find what is the vibe that best suits you! ABBIE has 25 mix and match settings to pick from so there is definitely a match for you! Whether it’s internal or external, they’re sure to give you some good vibes one way or another.
Will vibrators ruin partner sex?
This is definitely something we’re sure you have heard - we certainly have. Vibrators absolutely do NOT ruin partnered sex. If anything, they can improve it! You’ll get to know your body better through a vibrator, and you can let your partner know what you like best! Or even bring it into some partner play, vibrators are made to suit any body and any gender!
Will it make me numb?
Everything in moderation! Having any form of sex can make someone numb. The good news is that you know your body the best! If it’s starting not to feel as good, or if you do experience any numbness from vibing, give your body a bit of a rest and come back to it in a few days. Any numbness is temporary - it’s just your nerve endings getting a little overstimulated.
What if it hurts?
Always go slow! You don’t rush into sex so why rush into pleasuring yourself, we recommend foreplay first to get you comfortable. Stress will cause your muscles to tense up, making insertion harder, or potentially even painful if you're trying to force your body before it's ready. Try some lube, a different angle, or give it 5 mins. If it does hurt no matter what you try, put it on hold, use it externally or go back to old faithful before you give it another shot if you want to. ABBIE is only 3cm at the largest part of the pleasure point, and most internal heads come in varying sizes, so there will always be something out there for you!
What if I get addicted?
Self control can be hard when you have self pleasure in the palm of your hand but we believe in you! According to many studies, it’s not possible to become clinically addicted to your vibe because an addiction implies a ‘misuse or abuse’. If you are concerned though, chat to an OB-GYN or sexologist.
Feeling more ready? It’s time to start getting down with internal vibes!
