So, you're ready to buy your first vibrator! How exciting! Shopping for your first vibrator can be a little scary and slightly confusing, but ultimately it's a pretty exhilarating experience. Some people think that all vibrators are massive, penis-shaped objects, and some are. But there's a whole world of vibrators that look nothing like a penis and do way more.

Vibration is key to experiencing an orgasm. There is an internal part of your larger clitoral structure, but most people need to stimulate the tiny nub on the outside actually to get off. And vibrators are intended to make it easy for you to come. So how do you decide between the thousands of vibrators out there? Read on...

Fingers First!

While this seems pretty obvious, not everyone is comfortable with touching themselves. If you haven't masturbated with your fingers, it's time to take a deep dive to know what you like and what you don't. Get to know your body, and it'll help you determine what kind of vibrator might work for you.

Try rubbing your clitoris or tracing your fingers up and down over your clitoral hood. Or you can try inserting a finger or two into your vagina and trying to find your g-spot. This takes time, so be patient. 

Start Small

First, choose a vibrator made of medical-grade silicone for the smoothest feel. Not all vibrators are the same; most small, pocket-sized vibrators pack quite a punch. Your clit is small, so you don't need a massive vibrator to get the job done. Lipstick vibes are the perfect case in point. Literally the size of a lipstick, its small tip is just the right size to stimulate your clit, and stay discrete in your purse! There are also pocket rockets which are super basic but not nearly as cute a lipstick vibe. 

Budget Matters

Since this is your first time buying a vibrator, keep the budget in mind. Starting with a less expensive toy will ensure that if you don't like it, you didn't sink your life savings into a product you can't return. It's especially important since not all vibrators are created equally. Some vibrators flutter more intensely than others, and for your first time, too much may not be a good thing. 

Collect Them Like Shoes

Since you didn't have to mortgage your condo to buy your first vibrator, you can afford to collect them! Because just like shoes, sometimes you're in a mood that requires something different. Rabbit vibrators are very popular, for good reason. They satisfy both internal and external points of stimulation. Or, some ladies prefer something with a bit of sucking stimulation instead of just vibration. 

Enjoy!

Whatever toy you decide to buy, enjoy it. And more than anything else, relax, it's just sex!
