What types of vibrators are out there?
Classic Vibrators: These are typically phallic shaped and designed to be inserted but can be used for stimulation of other erogenous zones.
Bullets and Eggs: These are mostly like the classic vibrator but much smaller and more discreet. Their size makes them a bit less intimidating than other vibrator styles.
Clitoral Vibrators: This style is designed with clitoral stimulation in mind, iis meant to be used externally, and come in different shapes ranging from a simple point-like tip to suction cups designed to surround the clitoris.
G-Spot Vibrators:As the name implies, this vibrator style is designed to be used internally. They typically feature a curved shape specifically to stimulate the G-Spot.
Wand Style: Originally marketed as a body massager for back or neck pain, the wand quickly made its way down south and set the standard for intense clitoral stimulation.
Rabbit Style Vibrators: These come in a variety of styles but it's the clitoral stimulator that branches off from the main shaft, providing simultaneous internal and clitoral stimulation. They gained their name because most rabbit-style vibrators' clitoral stimulators resemble bunny ears.
Vibrating Eggs: This style steps away from the phallic or cylindrical shape of classic vibrators and is typically round in shape. The design allows the egg to be nestled internally- think Kegel exercisers that vibrate, minus the weight.
Triple Area Vibrators: This style offers a sort of all-in-one design which offers penetrative stimulation, clitoral stimulation, and anal stimulation.
