Understanding Types of Vibrators
Part I: The Rabbit Vibrator
There are lots of different vibrators offered at sextoy stores. One of the most fascinating and popular amongst them all is the rabbit vibrator. So called this, because the original design used a small bunny rabbit with long tickler bunny ears to stimulate a woman's clitoris while the traditional penis shaped shaft of the vibrator excited her from within.
Ever since the rabbit vibrator became so popular numerous variation on the theme have been introduced by many different sextoy makers. No matter what the name of the product or the type of design used to excite the clit, all rabbit vibes follow the same basic methodology. Some are still called rabbits. There are also beavers, dolphins, butterflies and more. The thing to understand is that they all basically do the same thing.
A penis shaped vibrating shaft is insertable into the vagina, while a smaller vibrator operates below it to tickle and massage the clitoral area.
There are however, some important differences you should look for when shopping for a rabbit style vibrator. Different models from different sextoy manufacturers will other variations on these common features.
Vibration: Most modern vibrators are almost all multi-speed. Meaning the user can vary the rate at which it vibrates from slower to more rapid. Most rabbit vibrators come with a handset/battery pack. The handset generally has a slider control to adjust the vibration speed.
Beyond simple vibration many rabbit vibes feature rotating. The shaft will rotate to provide additional vaginal stimulation. The original rabbit vibrator and many others now, feature internal vibrating/rotating pearls. The movement of the pearls inside the shaft of the vibrator is meant to provide an additional pleasure sensation unlike any other vibrator on the market.
The clit stimulators on these kinds of vibrators also feature different types of pleasure movement. Some will both vibrate and rotate. Others will do only one or the other.
Material: Most rabbit vibrators are smooth, hard plastic. However, Jelly material, provides a much better feeling. It's smooth, but softer with more give.
The most important thing to consider in any vibrator purchase is power. A weak vibrator is only going to provide weak stimulation. It's easy to determine how powerful a vibrator will or will not be. How many batteries and what type of batteries it uses.
The thing to know about batteries is that AAA are the smallest and weakest. AA are a little more powerful. C batteries are very strong. Any vibrator that uses C batteries will offer a lot of power. Vibrators that use 4 AA batteries will also be pretty potent. Anything less than that will only offer mild, gentle vibration. Of course if you can find one that plugs into your home AC outlet or your computer's USB port for power you'll get unwaivering and strong power for as long as you want.
The last thing to keep in mind when shopping a sextoy store for vibrators is that price is based on two factors: power and features. Barring sales and clearances, where you can find great deals on premium sextoys, better vibes, more powerful vibe with more features will generally cost more. Decide which features are most important to you. Coordinate your budget with the features you want and purchase your vibrator accordingly. These are thousands to choose from. You shouldn't have any trouble finding numerous products to suit your needs and budget no matter what they are.
