Clit Vibrators

What Is a Clitoral Vibrator?

A clitoral vibrator is a toy designed specifically for external pleasure, focusing on the thousands of sensitive nerve endings around the clitoris. Unlike internal toys, clit vibes sit on or around the clitoral area and give targeted sensations — quick, steady, soft, or powerful. They come in many shapes, but the goal is always the same: focused, feel-good stimulation that’s easy to enjoy alone or with a partner.

What to Look for in a Clitoral Vibrator

1. Shape & Contact Area

Clitoral toys come in two styles:

• Pinpoint: small tips that give precise, sharp stimulation for people who love accuracy.
• Broad: wider surfaces that deliver deeper, smoother sensations across the entire area.

Your choice depends on your sensitivity and how direct you want the stimulation to feel.

2. Vibration Strength & Motor Type

A strong, rumbly motor feels deeper and more satisfying compared to a buzzy motor, which sits more on the surface.
Choose:

• Lower settings if you’re sensitive
• Medium or intense for fuller, deeper sensations

3. Noise Level

Low-noise clit vibes are ideal if you want privacy, live with others, or want something discreet for travel.

4. Silicone Quality

Soft, body-safe silicone feels gentle, smooth, and comfortable on sensitive skin. Avoid rubber or jelly materials.

5. Power Source

Rechargeable clitoral vibrators are stronger and last longer. Battery-powered ones are cheaper but usually weaker.

6. Waterproof Rating

Waterproof toys are best for cleaning and can be used in the shower. Splashproof toys must not be submerged.

7. Buttons & Ease of Use

Look for simple controls that are easy to press during use. One-button toys are perfect for beginners; multi-button toys give more customization.
