“Hysteria” and the Strange History of Vibrators
And if you like both, a rabbit or dual-stimulation vibe could be your perfect match. Vibrators come in a ton of shapes and styles, with different power and speed settings. Many vibes are designed for external stimulation, but there are also lots of options that can be used internally to target the G-spot, A-spot, cervix, and prostate. Dual-stimulation vibrators can reach two hot spots at once—rabbit vibes, for example, focus on both the clit and the G-spot.
She suggests reading the directions (yes, many sex toys have directions — read them!) and cleaning them after every use. It’s also crucial to communicate with your partner if they’re using the toy too roughly. The Duo 2 is a unique premium rabbit sex toy – a Pleasure Air clitoral stimulator and powerful G-Spot dual vibrator combined to create advanced, blended orgasms. Lawless also thinks there are other products that may have been designed with older adults specifically in mind, but that don’t necessarily market to them specifically.
After 20 minutes of consistent use, the Hitachi shuts off for safety reasons (presumably, because the toy gets hotter the longer it’s on) and to preserve battery life. But for the most part, this isn’t an area too many companies seem comfortable approaching just yet. For example, one sex toy designer did chuckle when I made the hypothetical suggestion of sex toys specifically made and marketed for older users. Among the companies that are consciously working to address and court this demographic is Tantus, which has been actively creating sex toys with disabled users in mind for years. There’s also the Fiera pre-intimacy vibrator for generating arousal, whose creators told Mic it’s made with seniors in mind.
Waterproof and app-enabled, it offers two motors and two control tracks to control both the clitoral stimulator and G-spot stimulation. And while you might have found your way around your own clitoris (or guided a few partners through the Do’s and Don’ts), it’s totally normal for the clit to take a bit of time to reach full arousal. “Remember that it takes, on average, minutes of stimulation and foreplay before a woman is fully aroused,” Serra says. Vibe uses UltraWave Vibration, which “combines low-frequency, rumbly vibrations with 10 powerful, harmonic resonances,” the brand explains. The stimulation is described as intense but gentle, and the whole experience should be smooth and sexy without ever crossing the line into too much. Vibe also offers three autopilot modes that last for 10 minutes each, letting you take a full journey into pleasure.
With a combo of suction and penetration, it delivers on all the different sensations a beginner could be looking for but you can customize what you want to feel (and when) to avoid feeling overwhelmed. When it comes to cleaning, Dr. Tara advises washing your vibrator with light, soapy water, while ensuring it doesn’t seep into the battery or charging area. We’d recommend getting the sexy times started by browsing this list with your partner. Ask them what types of toys they find intriguing, and tell them which ones you like as well.
Designed for those with a clitoris viberators, the Eva “is held snugly in place by flexible wings that tuck under the labia ,” explains Denyer. However, “you can use your hands to press it down for even more power if you like,” advises Weiss. For such a small package, it packs a lot of features with five speeds, three vibration patterns and a fully waterproof design (up to three feet). The unique shape allows you to experiment with different types of stimulation, and the squishy feeling of the silicone makes it more comfortable against your body than a rigid plastic vibrator — trust me. This uses air technology for a suction-like effect, similar to what you may enjoy during oral partner sex.
I tested the Cherry Emojibator and the Strawberry Emojibator to see if the adorable toys were worth the purchase—and the results surprised me. Since it has a strong grip on me, it stays in place whether I’m on top of my partner or the other way around. If it would be more satisfying for my partner an inch or two higher, our bodies have to move, because the vibrator can’t. The rotating nubs at the bottom are also cleverly designed to press against the base of the penis, right where it meets the scrotum. They’re flexible enough to position easily, yet they hold their position wherever you leave them. The most stark difference between the Tenuto Mini and its predecessor is that it lacks the large, mound-like base that was designed to sit underneath its wearer’s perineum.
