Vibrators are very popular sex toys and come in various shapes, sizes and materials.

Some vibrators are especially good for clitoral stimulation and that is often the best way for most women to reach orgasm. They can offer powerful, consistent stimulation directly to the clitoris which many women want.

Vibrators are not always used for solo play. Indeed, many couples use them and a lot of women love their partner to use one on them during lovemaking. Their partner too, often feels the vibrations which can be a terrific turn on especially when at the same time their partner is becoming turned on.

Many people think vibrators are just for women but some men enjoy using a vibrator on themselves too.

On your own and using your vibrator for the first time.

Using a vibrator for the first time can sometimes be a little daunting and even after purchasing one some women find they cannot bring themselves to use it straight away.

Vibrators can sometimes be slightly noisy with a bit of buzzing but there are some silent or almost silent vibrators on the market such as The Silencer and The Clitoral Hummer. For this reason choosing the right time and place, when you can have privacy, peace and quiet is very important otherwise you will never relax.

Relax and get in the mood.

If this is the first time you have used a vibrator make sure you set aside enough time to really spoil yourself and make the most of your new toy.

Put on some relaxing music. If you feel you need extra help watch a naughty DVD or read a sexually stimulating book or magazine, it's amazing how this can set the mood and it isn't only dirty old men that do it!

If you choose the bath or shower to use your vibrator ensure you have a waterproof model such as: Daring Dolphin Waterproof Vibrator, Mantric Dinky Vibrator, Jack Rabbit Waterproof Vibrator, Water Bunny or The Wet Dreamer Realistic Vibrator.

A sexual lubricant such as Super Slik Personal Lubricant is usually a good idea. Even if you are only using your toy externally it makes using your vibrator against your clitoris or skin more comfortable.

Until you get to know exactly how to use the vibrator and find what you want - and like - you may take longer to reach orgasm so ensure you have set by enough time away from distractions and in the right place.

And Begin

Relax and don't be afraid to enjoy yourself - sex is natural and using sex toys is fun.

Start by slowly running the vibrator along your body. It may take a bit of getting used to so don't rush it. Run it over your nipples, stomach and thighs.

Now try exploring your genitals. If your are using a vibrator especially for clitoral stimulation don't charge straight for the clitoris, place it first against the rest of the genital area and see how it feels in different parts. By the way, other vibrators such as classic vibrators are also great for using on the clitoris. It has thousands of nerve endings and very responsive to vibration so virtually any sexy toy that vibrates will excite and stimulate.

When you feel you are getting turned on, gently place your toy on your clitoris. If your vibrator is multi-speed start off slowly and build up from there as some women can find a vibrator quite intense at first. If this is the case you may prefer to use your vibe over your underwear until you are used to the sensation.

Experiment. See if it feels better at the top or the side of the clitoris.  Placing the vibrator at the side of your clitoris rather than on the tip, or using less pressure can make the experience more pleasurable and longer lasting.

If you have a sex toy for penetration explore your vagina. Ease it slowly into your vagina and move it around gently. Try deep penetration as well as just holding it gently against the opening of your vagina.  Some vibrators are also specifically for finding that elusive G spot which many women love.

Don't be afraid to try different positions, lay flat on your back or lay on the vibe - it's whatever feels good for you.

Try squeezing and then relaxing the muscle you tense up when trying not to urinate. Do this in time with your hip movement. Make the noises you want to make. Listen to yourself making them and forget the outside world. Concentrate on your breathing and hip movement.

If you are using an external vibrator try using your fingers inside your vagina. If it is a penetrative vibe stimulate the clitoris with your fingers - or as you get more confident you could even use two vibrators for different purposes at the same time.

Basically we are all different and get turned on by different things so experimentation is the key.

When you have used your vibrator a few times you will get to know how to please yourself. Whether it's a need for a quick release or just spoiling yourself you won't regret your purchase!
