What is a Clitoral Vibrator?
When it comes to self-discovery and pleasure, a popular choice among the ladies is the clitoral vibrator. As the name suggests, clitoral vibrators are devices designed to create a pulsing sensation that stimulates blood flow to the clitoris, making it easier to achieve orgasm.
Celebrated for its precision and power, clit vibrators offer a new avenue to modern sexual wellness. They encourage sexual pleasure whether you’re by yourself or with a partner, whether you’re at home or travelling.
In this post, we’ll be covering how to use a clit vibrator, uncovering some of our best choices for clit vibrators and just embracing the lifestyle of owning your sexuality.
Popular Types of Clitoral Vibrators
Not all clitoral vibrators are made equal. From size, shape, function, and style, there are a variety of selections in the market to suit your preferences. Let’s discover each one together:
1. Clit suction
Clit suckers are vibrators that have a little silicone mouth for powerful stimulation. They mimic the feeling of having real sex and are popularly known for giving satisfying orgasms.
Known for its powerful suctions and simple design, the Tornado Rose is a small and discreet vibrator featuring 10 different modes. It's said to be stronger oral sex and is conveniently sized for storing in your bag.
2. Clit licking
As the name suggests, clit licking vibrators have a tongue-shaped piece that uses flickering and fluttering motions to stimulate the clit. It offers the feeling of oral sex and sometimes can be just as good as the real thing.
With a sleek and sophisticated exterior, the Dolphin Licking Vibrator provides heavenly pulsations at the clitoris, making orgasm happen almost naturally. It uses its 8 frequency vibration for intense pleasure and shivering stimulation — one of the best clitoral vibrators around.
3. Finger vibrators
These little vibrators pack a punch despite their size. Some are shaped for sliding over your finger like a ring and others are meant for nestling between your fingers, either way, they enable masturbation (solo or with a partner) through added sensation of vibration.
The TingleWhale wraps around your finger effortlessly while delivering a high level of clitoral satisfaction. It satisfies both C and G spots, sending double shock sensations down your spine. It’s a brilliant vibrator meant to be carried everywhere for convenience.
Benefits of Using a Clitoral Vibrator
Whether you’re new to using a clit vibrator or you’re a seasoned pro vibing to your own clitoral beat, you’ll gain the benefits when you incorporate this as part of your wellness routine.
Research has shown that nearly 75% of women won't get an orgasm through penetrative sex alone. And 83% need clitoral stimulation to experience orgasm. Interesting, right?
Here are just some of the reasons why you should make clitoral stimulation a regular thing:
1. Enhanced orgasms
Due to the nature of clit vibrators and how they offer targeted stimulation, you can count on them to deliver stronger and more frequent orgasms.
2. Improved sexual health
Whether you’re using a clit suction stimulator or a clitoral suction toy, they all impact your body positively. Regular uses of clit vibrators increase blood flow to the genital area, promoting overall sexual health and sensitivity.
3. Stress relief
This one tops the chart of benefits. We are living in a stress-filled society and every avenue or opportunity available to relieve stress should be explored.
It’s relatively straightforward — clitoral stimulations lead to orgasms, which release endorphins that are responsible for elevating your mood, reducing stress levels, and improving general positive feelings.
4. Experimentation & Empowerment
Now (more than ever), it’s essential to have your own stand on sexuality with all the different methods and ideologies out there. Having regular clitoral activity will open your heart and mind to unchartered territories and pleasure — the perfect attitude and mindset to have whether having foreplay with a partner or just going at it solo.
How to Use A Clitoral Vibrator: A Step-by-Step Guide
Like most things in life, they work if you do it right. Using a clit vibrator isn’t a complicated process, here’s how to go about using it so you can get the most joy out of your toy:
1. Choose a vibrator that suits you
We recommend reading up about the vibrator you’re interested in. While the first appeal always lies in looks, reading reviews will help you get a better idea of what will fit your needs. If you’re shopping in-store, get extra advice from the staff.
2. Get comfortable
Find a private and comfortable space where you can relax without interruptions. If you prefer, try a calming ritual like lighting a candle, spritzing some room mist, or even playing some sensual music like R&B.
3. Apply lubricant
It might seem like a trivial thing, but being generous with lubricant is one of the key steps on how to use a clit vibrator well. Mostly because you want to be in a state of relaxation and comfort.
We recommend using a water-based lubricant to enhance sensation and prevent friction. Apply it to your clitoris and the vibrator.
4. Go slow
Like the engine of a car, give it time to warm up. Ease into the process by starting with the lowest setting on your clit vibrator. Place it gently on your clitoris and gradually increase the intensity as you become more aroused.
5. Experiment with settings
From there, it’s pretty much up to you. While most of them come with multiple vibration modes and speeds, choose your levels based on how you’re feeling in the moment. It sounds cliche, but there really is no right or wrong here.
6. Focus on breathing and relaxation
At this point, you’re probably immersed in the experience or getting there aka your clitoral suction toy is doing a good job. Here, we recommend taking deep breaths to help you relax and heighten your sensations.
The purpose lies in allowing yourself to fully enjoy the experience without rushing. Though an orgasm is one of the goals, having a deep appreciation for the journey is essential to your journey with your clit vibrator.
7. Try new angles and pressures
All that’s left to do is tilt or shift your clit vibrator to discover the sensation you enjoy most. Beyond that, shoving it deep or moving it around before finding the sweet spot is an interesting process. It’s different for everyone, so do not hesitate to feel around until you feel the feeling you’ve been longing for.
8.Communicate with your partner
If you’re engaged in partner play, guiding your partner on how you like the clitoral suction stimulator or suction toy placed or used helps intensify intimacy. Whether it’s a session that’s more romantic or wild, telling through verbal or non-verbal cues will indicate to your partner what’s a yes and what’s a no-no.
Common Mistakes To Avoid for Clitoral Vibrators
Now that you’ve learnt about the how-to’s for pleasure, the how-to’s for upkeep and maintenance are important too. You wouldn’t want to be shortening the lifespan of your clit vibrator unnecessarily, would you?
We see these scenarios happening too often. As such, these common mistakes should be avoided at all costs:
1. Using the wrong lubricant
Yes, there is such a thing as the wrong lubricant. Just remember that silicone-based lubricants don’t work well with silicone toys as they can degrade the material. Sticking to water-based lubricants is your best bet for safety and comfort.
2. Skipping cleaning
They say safety first, which is maintaining hygiene when it comes to clitoral suckers and vibrators. You shouldn’t only clean after using it but before as well. Using mild soap and water or a dedicated toy cleaner can extend the life of your toy and prevent infections too.
3. Ignoring your body’s signals
Needless to say, masturbation and sex feel good. But when using a clitoral vibrator, it’s important to be extremely sensitive to your clitoris and its surrounding areas. Paying attention to your body and stopping if you feel any discomfort or pain is so important.
Don’t let the pursuit of feeling perfect orgasm come in the way of your sexual health. We recommend taking breaks if your body isn’t responding well to your current routine.
4. Overstimulation
Echoing our previous point about ignoring your body’s signals, if you go on and on, it will lead to overstimulation. This happens a lot and you wouldn’t want it happening to you. If you’re not careful, even the best clit vibrators won’t help you.
Prolonged use on high settings can lead to desensitisation or intense discomfort. It’s important to mix up the sensations and speeds to avoid overstimulation and pain.
5. Improper storage conditions
Whether you’re using a clitoral suction stimulator or clitoral suction toy, all your sex toys should be stored in a clean and dry place. Using a pouch or box to keep it free from dust and dirt is always recommended.
