In a few lines, we’ll explain how to use a vibrator safely and without risks, what the difference is between a dildo and a vibrator, and also how to take care of it properly for subsequent “uses”, with or without your partner.

In simple terms, a dildo is a sex toy used for insertion and stimulation. The most common and well-known ones are vaginal dildos, but there are also anal and oral ones, mainly used in BDSM practices.

Dildos, unlike vibrators, do not vibrate and are not necessarily provided with other options, such as rabbits or similar. In contrast, vibrators are designed specifically to vibrate so as to stimulate both the interior and exterior of the woman’s genitalia particularly the vagina.

Back in the day, the name “vibrator” was only reserved for erotic devices that are used to tickle clitoral. Today things are a little bit different as the term is as well used when referring to dildo vibrators.

How to use the vibrator? The first word: hygiene

With the clear differentiation between a dildo and a vibrator, the next stage is to explore the process of using a new sex toy. That which you need to start with would be to clean it extensively with either water and ordinary soap or can include an exclusive natural sex toy cleaner.

You can buy the cleaner at any sex shop or store specializing in the sale of adult erotic toys. Even though many people often don’t think about it, before you, many other people may have touched your vibrator, and surely not all of them had clean hands. So, before any use, wash it carefully.

Vibrator: safety checks not to forget

Although, nowadays, most vibrators are of excellent quality, a safety check never hurts. Especially if, to save a few euros, you decide to buy your vibrator from some dubious Chinese website.

Check the vibrator carefully and make sure it doesn’t have sharp edges or poorly made seams. Also, check that it is intact, not broken, and that all cables are covered and fixed in the battery or charging case.

Once all safety checks have been done, see if the vibrator already includes the battery, or if you need to insert it, or plug it into the power outlet. Some vibrators need to be fully charged before use, so make sure to do it for the recommended time.

Experience the sensations your new sex toy gives you

If your vibrator has multiple buttons and speeds, test them on the palm of your hand before bringing it close to the vagina. Get used to using it and try to understand what it does and what the most pleasant sensation is for you before “feeling” it on yourself more intimately.

This will help you enjoy the game more and also avoid having to fiddle with the controls at that moment.

  • A piece of advice: use it on yourself first, and only if it pleases you, then on your partner. This way, if it becomes too intense, you can quickly adjust the speed without risking hurting your partner.

Even if you believe that it is unnecessary to emphasize it, but all the same, we will remind you once again: before each use, please do not forget to clean the vibrator WELL AFTER each use and especially if besides the raincoat you still used it for entierce to other cavities, for example, to the anus_interface section.

This extra “safety measure“, besides allowing you to use it for a long time, will also protect you from the risk of infections. If you and your partner have young children, or you live with nosy roommates, it could be nerve-wracking to leave a magnum-sized vibrator, unmistakably shaped, in a closet or drawer.

Even worse if you wanted to take it with you for a romantic weekend or during a business trip to relieve stress. Don’t worry, because even in these extreme situations, there is a truly ingenious solution. Discreet vibrators, for example, those shaped like lipstick or pens, which besides giving the same sensations and pleasure, can be put in a purse.

In case you want even more discretion, nowadays there are also vibrators with silent and hi-tech motors on the market, allowing you to use them anywhere.

Last but not least: since the vibrator is inserted into the vagina, it is strongly discouraged for virgin girls.

There are various other sets of adult toys on which you can try out to ensure that, sex is not only fun but also less painful during and after the act.

An example is external vibrators, which are sex toys designed to stimulate specific parts of the body, such as the clitoris, without penetration. Among the most loved and used are lay-on vibrators, created to adapt to the folds of the female body, and clitoral suckers. Other vibrators that can be used even by virgin girls are Wands, vibrators similar to microphones.
