What are the different types of vibrators?
- Traditional (basically a vibrating dildo)
- Bullet (small vibe that specializes in external/clitoral stimulation)
- Rabbit/Dual Action (stimulates your clitoris while penetrating)
- G-Spot (a curved vibe designed to stimulate your G-Spot)
That’s really just a start, and there are new designs coming out all the time.
Do you have to be 18 to buy a vibrator?
If you’re shopping online, you obviously have to be old enough to have a credit card to make the payment. Most sites will also force you to verify that you’re at least 18 before completing the order.
How do you use a vibrator?
How do you use a vibrator on a woman?
The best advice is to watch your partner use the vibe on herself first before taking over. Simple observation is a great way to learn how she likes to be stimulated with the toy. But if you can’t do this homework for whatever reason, just take it slow and feel your way through.
Are there vibrators designed for men?
There are also lots of vibrators designed specifically for anal stimulation, which are enjoyed by both gay and straight men. Some refer to the prostate as the male G-Spot or P-Spot. Vibrators that target this area can produce a – shall we say – intense result.
Are vibrators safe?
First, it’s got to be a safe toy. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of government oversight in this area. There are concerns about the use of phthalates – a potentially harmful industrial substance – in vibrators and other sex toys. Cheapo toys made of jelly material may also break down and pose a risk.
Secondly, you must use the toy safely. This means following the directions, yes – but it also means practicing safe sex if you’re sharing it with a partner. You can get a sexually transmitted infection (STI) if you don’t take precautions.
To be safe, you can always put a condom over the vibrator. Otherwise, buy toys that are phthalate-free and made of hard material, and don’t share. For more info, see this article.

What is the Trojan Twister?
Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of unbiased and reliable information for the Trojan Twister because it’s not available on Amazon.com or other retailers that make customer reviews available. What we can tell you is that this adjustable “intimate massager” costs about $60 and sells through Trojan’s online store. If we were rating it for this site, we would classify it as a G-Spot vibrator based on its curved shape and bendy nature.
