Depending on what you want from your vibrator, there are several things to consider before you buy. For example, the types and functions of the vibrator, your personal experience with vibrators, the materials used, whether you want clitoral or g-spot stimulation, and the levels of maintenance should all be factors that you think about before any purchase.

To maximise the performance of any vibrator you buy, do not charge it until the indicator light flashes to tell you that the battery is low or dead. Overcharging can reduce the battery life and leave you with a dead device mid-session. You should also be mindful not to charge your vibrator any longer than it needs for a full charge for the same reasons.

Storing your vibrator in a cotton drawstring bag or pouch offers an economical, hygienic solution for your vibrator maintenance. Provided your toy is clean, you can feel confident that bacteria will not grow in this breathable environment. Remember to consider the size and length of your specific vibrator when choosing your storage options, such as cases, bags, and storage boxes.

When you buy a vibrator, it’s essential to know how to keep it clean. First, wash it with water or products like VUSH cleaning wipes to remove debris. Next, apply a gentle liquid soap to the surface, scrubbing it before rewashing it under running water. If the toy is non-motorised, you can immerse it entirely, but if it is battery-operated, avoid doing so. Make sure it is completely dry before storing the clean vibrator away.

Depending on your choice of a sex toy, including vibrating wands or g-spot vibrators, these devices can be used internally and externally for stimulation. For example, a bullet vibrator can be used for direct clitoral stimulation, whereas a rabbit vibrator provides simultaneous g-spot and clitoral stimulation for maximum pleasure. You can also use vibrators on other erogenous zones, such as the nipples, breasts, anus, perineum, or neck. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference, so consider this before you buy your next vibrator.
