Dildo vs. Vibrator – A Sensual Showdown

Hey there, pleasure-seekers! So, you’ve found yourself in a delicious dilemma, huh? The age-old question: Should you pick a tantalizing dildo or let a buzzing vibrator steal the spotlight? Trust me, I get it. The world of adult toys is like a candy store for your desires, and the choices can be both exciting and bewildering. But I’m here to be your guide through this pleasure-packed journey. Ready? Let’s dive in.

Embracing the Simple Dildo

First, let’s talk dildos – the timeless classic that knows just how to hit the spot. These lovelies are all about penetration, whether you’re exploring the depths of vaginal pleasure or the thrilling realms of anal delight. They come in a smorgasbord of shapes, from the iconic phallic dildo to designs that’ll leave you wide-eyed (and stretched to your limit with the more extreme dildos!). Here’s the scoop: dildos are your trusty companions without the buzz (though some dildos vibrate, but that is another article). No motors, no fuss, no noise (other than your moans, of course!) – just pure, uninterrupted pleasure.

Pros of Dildos

• Reliable Pleasure: Imagine a pleasure companion that’s always ready for action. That’s the beauty of a dildo. Unlike its buzzing counterpart, a dildo doesn’t rely on batteries or motors. It’s a steadfast partner that’s ever-eager to please, whenever you desire. No surprises, no interruptions – just pure, uninterrupted pleasure. They are quiet and easy to travel with – just clean them well between uses and they are always ready to push you over the edge.
• Endless Exploration: Dildos are your ticket to a world of exploration. They come in an array of shapes, sizes, and textures, catering to your every desire. From realistic feeling silicone to hard glass, metal, or even stone, dildos let you choose your pleasure adventure. You can even get double-dong dildos for double penetration or lesbian loving. The best part? You’re in control, dictating the pace and intensity of your experience.
• Always the Perfect Size: Not everyone can handle (or wants to handle) a huge dildo. Women and their pussies come in all sizes, shapes and sensitivity. Finding just the right size dildo is a lot easier than finding the right live partner (we’ve all been there, right?). Selecting a dildo for your pussy or ass does need a bit of trial and error, but oh what fun trials! Keep reading for tips on finding the perfect size.
• Versatile Pleasure Play: When it comes to pleasure, dildos are the ultimate chameleons. They’re fantastic for both solo play and partner fun, adding a dash of excitement to your intimate escapades. Want to indulge in some temperature play? Dildos can be heated or chilled for extra sensation play (glass dildos are my favorites for this). Craving G-spot or P-spot stimulation? They’ve got you covered. With dildos, your pleasure possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Cons of Dildos

• Dildos Need a Hand: Whether it’s your own hand or your partner’s, it occupies one of them that could be used for other fun things. They can sometimes to awkward to position, especially if being used with a partner. And having to put it back in place if it slips out can kill some of the momentum.
• Tiring for Longer Play: Yes you can totally control the depth and pace they are used at, but this can wear out your arm when you want to keep it going, but just need to take a break! Especially in certain positions or if you love multiple orgasms. Attaching a dildo to a sex machine can help solve this problem, especially for solo play, but you then lose the advantage of quiet fun.

Dildo Sensations: The Art of Manual Stimulation

Alright, let’s talk about the juicy stuff – the stimulation that dildos bring to the table. Whether you’re a solo explorer or a couple on an adventure, dildos cater to a range of desires:

• Targeted Thrills: Dildos are designed for precise pleasure. Firm yet flexible silicone or rubber dildos allow you to explore different areas of your pussy or anus to find just the right depth and angle. Solid glass or stone dildos are not for everyone, but they can be more precise in hitting the right spot (and can be heated or chilled for an extra surprise!) Specially curved g-spot dildos help stimulate your erogenous zones with precision. Whether it’s the G-spot, P-spot, or any other pleasure point, dildos are your personal guides to unlocking waves of delight.
• The Power of Pace: With dildos, you’re the conductor of your pleasure symphony. You dictate the pace, intensity, and rhythm that resonates with your body. Whether you’re in the mood for a slow, tantalizing build-up or a wild, pulse-pounding journey, dildos adapt to your desires.
• The Art of Edging: Ever heard of edging? It’s the practice of bringing yourself (or your partner!) close to orgasm and then pulling back. Dildos are perfect tools for mastering this art. They allow you to navigate the edges of pleasure, building intensity and prolonging the journey to that mind-blowing climax.
• A Symphony of Release: When the moment arrives, the climax with a dildo is a symphony of release. It’s the culmination of all those sensations, all that build-up, exploding into a crescendo of pleasure that washes over you. With a dildo in hand, you’re the composer, crafting a masterpiece of ecstasy.

Dildos are definitely a good choice, especially if you are just diving into the world of adult toys or learning the sensations of your own body. Explore our collection of dildos to find one perfect for you. Now let’s look at the dildo’s electric cousin: vibrators.

Vibing with the Power of Vibrators

Now, let’s talk vibrators – the rebels with a cause. These little wonders may look like their dildo cousins, but they’re packing a secret weapon: vibration. Imagine a symphony of pulsations and thrills, all tailored to your desires. Vibrators come in all shapes and sizes, ready to take you on a journey of sensations. Some are all about internal exploration, while others are crafted to make your clitoral dreams come true. Oh, and did I mention the rabbit vibrator? It’s like a VIP ticket to pleasure town, targeting both your sweet spots.

These buzzing beauties have a way of turning up the heat and lighting up the night. If you’re all about embracing your sensuality, having a cheeky flirt with pleasure, and diving into the world of intimate exploration, then you’re in for a treat. Get ready to uncover the mesmerizing benefits of vibrators, the tantalizing types of stimulation they offer, and how they can be your secret weapon for reaching the pinnacle of ecstasy.

Vibrators for men are also available. These are usually designed as either a vibrating cock ring or a sleeve that fits over the cock with both sucking and vibration action.

Pros of Vibrators

• Vibrations That Speak Volumes: Let’s talk about the star of the show: vibrations. Unlike their non-vibrating counterparts, vibrators are equipped with motors that send ripples of pleasure through your being. This allows you to use them hands-free depending on the position and design of the vibrator, freeing up your hands for playing with your nipples, clit, or your partner. They are usually variable speed letting you get a gentle buzz or a mind-blowing pulsation.
• Less Tiring to Use: Since the motor of the vibrator is doing the work, you do not have to worry about hand or arm fatigue, even in…unique…positions. Just insert, turn it on, and enjoy the ride! Some vibrators even have a thrusting motion or straps for even more hands-free stimulation.
• Shape-Shifting Wonders: Vibrators come in a dizzying array of shapes and sizes, catering to every desire under the sun. From sleek and slim to curvy and contoured, there’s a vibrator for every mood. Plus, they’re not shy about flaunting their versatility – some are designed for internal pleasure, while others are all about external delight. Some can even be used with your partner to give stimulating vibrations to both of you.
• The Versatility Factor: Whether you’re a solo adventurer or a dynamic duo, vibrators are your versatile companions. They’re your go-to tool for both self-indulgence and partner play. And guess what? They’re pros at multitasking – targeting multiple pleasure points and sending waves of delight through your body.
• The Dance of Intensity: Vibrators are all about intensity. From gentle, teasing purrs to earth-shattering pulses and pounding thrusts, you’re in control of the rhythm that resonates with your desires. Dial up the intensity for a wild ride or take it slow for a tantalizing build-up – it’s all in your hands. Vibrators with remotes are great for allowing extra position possibilities and giving control to your partner for even more playful situations.
• A Symphony of Zones: These pleasure powerhouses know how to hit the right notes. Whether it’s the clitoral crescendo, the G-spot symphony, or the P-spot sensation, vibrators let you orchestrate a symphony of pleasure that’s tailor-made for your body’s desires no hands needed.

Cons of Vibrators

• Not as Discreet: Even the quietest vibrators do make some noise making them less discreet than a dildo. Vibrators designed for external use such as nipple or clit vibes can get especially noisy. Depending on your living situation, this can be an issue as others might know exactly what you are doing.
• Batteries Die at the WORST Time: While some vibrators do have electrical cords, these can get in the way so the most popular vibrator models are rechargeable or use good old-fashioned batteries. The charge has a bad habit of wearing out just as you are getting to the good part! Having to swap out batteries or recharge can be a real buzz kill!
• Thicker Shafts: Many vibrators have a thicker shaft and are not as slim as some of the available dildos. So if you prefer your insertables to be skinny, your options are a bit more limited than with dildos. Skinny shafts do exist, but the shafts do not usually vibrate as much, so be prepared you might want to pair a thin shafted insertable vibrator with an external clit vibrator to up the sensations.
• Not as Flexible: Even silicone vibrators are stiffer than dildos because they have the electrical components to house. Depending on your particular pussy or anus, you may find it difficult to hit the exact spot you are wanting to, especially if using solo.

Vibrating to Climax

Now, let’s talk about the electrifying finale – the orgasmic potential that vibrators bring to the table. Whether you’re a pleasure aficionado or a curious newcomer, vibrators can be your gateway to euphoric heights:

• Uncharted Pleasure Realms: Vibrators are your guide to uncharted pleasure territories. They navigate the intricate paths of your body, seeking out those hidden pleasure spots that are begging for attention. Whether it’s the elusive G-spot or the explosive clitoral climax, vibrators are your trusty explorers.
• Masters of Edging: Like dildos, edging – bringing yourself or your partner to the edge of orgasm and then pulling back multiple times, is naughty fun (combined with bondage, it can be equal parts stimulating and frustrating). But if dildos are good at this, vibrators are the master. Using a vibrator inside your partner’s pussy or ass and watching their reactions can increase their eventual orgasm 10 fold! Taking control whether just for a night or as part of a full D/s relationship leads to mind-blowing climaxes!
• Euphoria Unleashed: When the moment arrives, the orgasm with a vibrator is like a fireworks display of euphoria. It’s the culmination of all those electric sensations, the buildup, and the intensity. With a vibrator in hand, you’re the maestro, conducting a symphony of pleasure that washes over you in waves.

The Power of Choice

Here’s the deal: This is your pleasure journey, and you’re the captain. Are you craving steady, unwavering pleasure that’s always there for you? The dildo is your ride-or-die companion, a reliable source of delight that’s as constant as your cravings. But if you’re all about variety and want a symphony of sensations, the vibrator is your wingman. It’s like having a whole orchestra at your fingertips, ready to play your favorite tune.

Personally, I like having both dildos and vibrators in my collection. Sex is all about following your moods and sometimes I want one over the other.

Tips on Selecting the Perfect Dildo or Vibrator for You

Oh, the crazy variety both these sex toys come in! It can be confusing, I know! So here are some tips on selecting the perfect dildo or vibrator for you.

• Size: This should be your first consideration. What do you like? Do you like to be stuffed full or even stretched? Or do you want something that easily glides in and out with a bit more room? Consider both girth (how wide it will push your vaginal or anal walls) and length (how far it will penetrate you). Take your time to explore the selection available. Our product filters allow you to select width (girth), overall length, and insertable length to help you narrow it down.
• Material: Do you want a flexible shaft or do you prefer something hard? In general, the less sensitivity you have, the harder the dildo you should choose. Vibrators are always harder than dildos due to the mechanics inside them, so if you need something soft and gentle, go with a silicone dildo or a vibrator with a silicone cover. Glass is a great option if you need will be sharing your toys at a swingers party for example as they are easier to sanitize (all you need is hot water – even the top rack of a dishwasher works!). They also can be heated or chilled for an added temperature experience.
• Remote or Switch: For vibrators, I personally find vibrators with a remote the most convenient as it can be hard to find the control on the shaft itself when you are in the middle of pleasure. Remotes are also fun to give control to your partner (or even a third party *smiles*) for an extra level of sexiness.
• Hand-Held or Strapon: Some vibrators come built into panties or have straps allowing them to be worn hands-free. There are dildos and vibrators that can be used with a strap-on harness for D/s or just fun action. There are even hollow shaft dildos that can slip over your partner’s cock to extend his girth and length!
• Shape & Features: Do you want a handle on your sex toy? Dildos and vibrators with extended handles can be easier for your partner to use (and you in some positions!), though if you want to use it solo, something like a suction cup base can help you take a ride while leaving your hands free for other things to stroke. Some have more of a curved shaft than others which can more easily hit the g-spot than a straight shaft. Some vibrators can be worn by your partner to stimulate his cock as he penetrates you adding amazing sensations to both. There are even double-penetration dildos and vibes that can be used simultaneously in the pussy and anus. The texture is another feature to consider – ribbing can add extra sensations as a dildo or vibrator strokes in and out of you.

Combining Dildos & Vibrators – the Best of Both Worlds

Alright, let’s talk about the ultimate pleasure mash-up: using dildos and vibrators together. You’ve got your trusty dildo, ready for deep exploration, and your buzzing vibrator, primed for electrifying sensations. Now, let’s take things up a notch by combining these pleasure powerhouses for an experience that’s bound to leave you breathless and craving more. Buckle up, because we’re about to dive into the art of harmonizing dildos and vibrators for a symphony of pleasure like no other.

Start with a body massaging vibrator like the famous Magic Wand designed with strong vibrations that will quickly stimulate your nipples, clit, and labia or his penis and balls.

Once everything is flowing, explore your inner depths with a dildo – the steady, unyielding partner that knows just how to hit the right spots. Allow it to take center stage as you explore your body’s depths and indulge in a slow, tantalizing rhythm.

Now, add the vibrator back into the mix or switch things up with a rabbit vibrator alternating it with the dildo. This buzzing beauty is all about delivering thrilling vibrations that awaken every nerve ending. Place it against your clitoris or wherever you crave that electrifying touch. Feel the waves of pleasure collide as your body responds to the dual stimulation.

Really want to take things up a level? Add a vibrating butt plug to add extra tingle to everything! If you are new to anal, stick to a small, thin one at first. You will be amazed how the vibration travels up to the dildo and intensifies just…everything!

Rhythms in Sync

As the conductor of this pleasure symphony, you’re in control of the tempo. Experiment with different rhythms and intensities. Combine the deep penetration of the dildo with the mind-blowing pulsations of the vibrator. Play with contrasts – slow and deep thrusts paired with fast, teasing vibrations. Allow the sensations to build, layer upon layer until you’re on the brink of ecstasy. This sort of coordination is easier if your partner takes control, but with a bit of practice, you can easily master coordinating both tools.

Building the Crescendo

The key to this symphony is building anticipation. Tease yourself, edging closer to climax without tipping over the edge. Alternate between the dildo and vibrator, varying the sensations and creating a dance of pleasure that keeps you on the edge of release.

When it comes to using dildos and vibrators together, there are no rules – only your desires and your body’s response. You’re the artist, painting your canvas of pleasure with each thrust and vibration. Whether you’re flying solo or sharing this experience with a partner, the symphony of pleasure you create is uniquely yours.

Enjoy the Experiment and Build Your Collection

When it comes to sex toys, more is better. Have fun building a collection over time. If you have a partner, browse an online sex toy shop together to get the conversation rolling and learn more about your partner and their fantasies. Choose a few toys to try out and enjoy the process (like you won’t? *giggles*).

Recommended Dildos & Vibrators for Beginners

Here are some of the best types of vibrators and dildos for beginners:

• Clit Vibrator: These small vibrators are great alone or with a partner as many times the clit doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves and can greatly enhance a women’s orgasm. Some of my favorites are the Rose Vibrator, and the Magic Wand Vibrator.
• Rabbit Vibrator: These amazing vibes have an insertable shaft along with a click tickler or vibrator (often shaped like bunny ears which is what gives them their name). Perfect for solo play for dual stimulation. There are many rabbit vibrators available – one of my favorites is the Eve’s Deluxe Thruster.
• Anal Vibrator: Loved by both men and women, they can be especially stimulating for the men’s prostate or p-spot. Anal dildos are usually either butt plug or wand type. Anal vibrators vary a lot in shape with some intended for long-term use and others specially designed to massage the prostate. If just starting with anal play, I recommend an anal trainer kit to find the size you like the best.
