Vibrators vs Dildos

These broad categories of sex toys are different in that vibrators are intended primarily for external use and dildos for internal use. 

A vibrator is typically applied directly to, and around, the female clitoris and the sensation of the vibrations produce the clitoral stimulation These orgasms are typically easy to achieve for most users and there are many products to choose from from mild to wild.

A dildo is most often used internally for those that enjoy a vaginal orgasm, achieved through penetration or the stroking motion of an object otherwise called a dildo. For many women these are much harder to achieve and often require much more time and effort. 

Both types have the ability to bring toy curling orgasms to your sex wellness routine, whether your for solo or couple self-pleasure alike.  It's more about time and effort. Unless you have a self-thrusting dildo, achieving a vaginal orgasm generally requires more time and effort. Vibrators are better for getting to the big go faster, and may be a better tool for introducing masturbation and sex wellness to younger persons.

Suction sex toys are not vibrators

These days using vibrators alone as a catch all category for external sex toys is not accurate. Suction sex toys, which function to provide a pleasurable sucking sensation for clitoral stimulation are often referred to as vibrators but they are not. These are air pulse or air pressure generating adult toy products which entered the market place about 15 years ago. This was a welcome new category of products that are economical and performance specific. They work well, in fact, for sensitive users it takes some time getting used to the powerful pull and stimulation on your clitoris.

Suction sex toys have the record for producing clitoral orgasms fast. If you don't have time to commit and want an orgasm quick make sure to try you have a suction stimulator on hand. You don't have to spend much to get a good one.

An introduction of sex toys at a young age

For many adults, a hard plastic dildo was their first introduction to sex toys and its was both a vibrator and dildo. In the 70s and 80s, they mostly looked like this and could be used a both an external vibrator and internal dildo. 

Which Sex Toy Is Right For You?

It can be hard to decide between a vibrator or dildo as your first sex toy. They’re both crowd-pleasing toys that get a job done, but they don’t have much else in common. To pick your pleasure, start by thinking about what sensations you like most. 

Vibrators or suction sex toys, are generally favored by women because they are a great value, easily accessible and super fun for clitoral stimulation. Citoral orgasms are fast and these adult products can be found in small fun designs that make them easy to travel with as well. 

I would recommend to introduce sexuall wellness to younger persons. Not everything needs to be dick shaped, and frankly it's not enjoyable for everyone. Many survivors of assault or homosexual females do not want phallic shape adult products. They certainly don't make a great first sex toy.

No everyone likes their vibrating massagers, or dildos, in a phallic shape.  Choose one that suits you.

Dildos, which are enjoyed across the board by people of all genders, can be defined as sex toys designed for internal use, vaginally or anally. This type of stimulation mimics natural or realistic pleasure derived from intercourse.

Achieving a vaginal orgasm takes more time and is best for users that prefer penetration.

Do you like penetration, many females do experience pain from internal objects. Is it thrusting or touching/rubbing? Do you like losing control or do you like keeping it in the palm of your hand? We’ve put together a personality quiz of sorts to help you make your decision. Read on to discover the right toy for you!

A great dildo feels amazing and there are so many good products for adults today. If you have short arms or big belly you might like something with an easy reach handle to make manipulation into a comfortable spot easy. 

If your arms tire after short time, automatic thrusting dildos are now strong enough not to stall and small enough to be discrete.

Pick Vibrators If You…

… Are Targeting The Clitoris

The clitoris is a must-visit destination on the female sexual anatomy and a major factor in the vibrator vs. dildo debate. If you or your partner are female, then the sex toy market is filled with vibrating toys optimized for your pleasure and orgasm. Begin your search with bullet vibrators, finger vibrators, and discreet designer vibrators. Make sure to try hands-free options such as penis rings, too!

… Want Consistent Stimulation

One major strength of vibrators is that they apply pressure consistently (thanks to being battery-powered). For both vaginal and clitoral orgasms, a steady stream of power Is crucial to success. It also helps if the vibrator has a range of speed settings that can help you build up from “teased” to “racing over the edge.”

… Want To Go Hands-Free

Whether you like to control everything or automate is another issue to consider in the vibrator vs. dildo question. Because vibrators are battery-powered, you can basically just leave them in or secure them in place and they’ll deliver, even if your hands are busy doing something else, such as exploring nipples, feet, and other hot spots.

Pick Dildos If You…

… Are Targeting The G-Spot

The female g-spot is a treasure trove of sensations that can and should be explored, either with a finger or dildo. If your goal is g-spot pleasure and g-spot orgasm, then go for a curved dildo that can target that elusive spot. Velvet Thrusters were designed to bend up to 90˚ to achieve this very purpose!

Depending on your pressure preferences, you can go for curved metal wands (hardcore sensations), silicone dildos (lifelike sensations), or even wooden dildos to help you pleasure your g-spot. Pro tip: don’t forget that after answering the vibrator vs. dildo question, you’ll also have to decide on the best sex toy material for you.

… Want To Be More Hands-On

Thrust is a fulfilling sensation that can’t be replicated any other way. It’s also an exciting form of power play. You can control the rate and depth of thrust; you can slow things down or you can withhold an impending orgasm. You can also stir things up inside your partner and target various erogenous zones by controlling angle. In short, the sensory possibilities are endless when you’re in control of a dildo.

… Want Anal Penetration

When you think about vibrators vs. dildos, only one of these two things can pleasure hardcore anal sex lovers. People of all genders can enjoy anal penetration if they choose. For males, anal penetration can enable p-spot play. For the ladies, g-spot stimulation is possible through anal penetration. We’ve got a blog post specifically dedicated to toys for anal pleasure – check it out here. Sure, a small vibrator can bring intense sensations to the entryway of the anus, but only a dildo can provide fulfilling thrust to anal sex lovers.

You CAN Have It All

Why does it have to be vibrator vs. dildo? Is it possible to experience both at the same time? While specialized dildos and vibrators tend to be best at their respective jobs – thrust and vibration, that is – some vibrating dildos combine both and offer the best of both worlds. Such premium toys are often well-engineered and slightly pricier, but they are certainly must-haves for people looking for out-of-this-world pleasure.

The Thruster

Automatic 3” thrust at up to 140 thrusts per minute? Check. Vibrating tip? Check. Curvaceous head that can bend up to a 90˚ angle? Check. Diverse selection capable of satisfying users of either traditional or kinky tastes? Check.

Another great way to get both thrust and vibration is to combine multiple toys during play. Use a thrusting dildo with a hands-free bullet vibrator, or try combining a thrusting dildo with your own member to create double-thrust.
