Your Practical Guide to Buying and Using a Classic Vibrator

“I'm pickin' up good vibrations”

Classic vibrators are typically penetrative sex toys, comprising of simple yet thrilling vibrations - and with a traditionally phallic shaped, tapered, and smooth insertable shaft. They are the perfect sex toy for beginners and experienced players alike (think of a vibrating penis or a long-length clitoral bullet), and their true power shines during penetrative vaginal, anal (on occasion), and oral stimulation. Although, these toys are typically designed for insertion and to mimic traditional intercourse, don’t fret as they can give tantalizing pleasure to all parts of the body!

However, Classic Vibrators come in a large variety of shapes, sizes, textures and colours – and can be tailored to your personal tastes. After all, one size often doesn’t fit all! So, here’s our all-in-one guide that takes you on a journey to understand all things Classic Vibrator. From size and design, materials, to all the little extras, we’ll ensure you know how to get your best bang for your buck! Use this guide to gain a better understanding of the expansive range of Classic Vibrators available at BeDaring, and maybe - just maybe - you’ll find your newest bedroom companion!

Buying A Classic Vibrator

1. Size and Shape 

Penetrative Vibrating toys (AKA Classic Vibrators) are usually measured in two separate ways; length and width (girth). The length refers to how long the toy is (from tip to base), and the girth is usually the circumference or diameter, but it’s important to not mix up the two, as size really does matter! You don’t want a toy that is too small, and just doesn’t hit the spots you need. Just like you don’t want a toy that’s too large and sits in your draw collecting dust because “one day, I’ll be ready for it”.

Our bodies are all different, so if you’re looking for your first classic vibrator then there’s no point in telling you exactly what size to look for, but there are things you can look at yourself to understand the size you might want. Firstly, you can experiment with how many fingers you can comfortably fit and compare that with the girth of a toy. When it comes to vaginal insertion, and you’re unsure about what length you can and can’t comfortably take, please keep in mind that when aroused, the vagina does extend to roughly 5-7 inches, and that can be an ideal and comfortable starting point. If you do find the length is too much you can always stop where it’s comfortable rather than taking it all – trust your body and listen to what it tells you.  

If you’re already avid toy user, then measure what you like the most, or if you want to bring your partner into the experience, then measure them! It’s important to understand that sometimes bigger is not always better, we recommend starting smaller and working your way up. Stretching is pleasurable, tearing is not!

2. Material 

100% Medical Grade Silicone

Silicone is a wonderful material for sex toys, as it can be moulded into any desired shape, has a silky seamless finish, and can be both squishy but firm to give toys a realistic cushion feel – ultimately enhancing their comfortability for the user!  Not only do 100% medical-grade silicone toys feel great, but they also function just as great! Hypoallergenic tested, latex free and phthalate free, and resistant to bacterial build-up, your risk of reaction is lowered and I’m not sure about you, certainly eases any worries I have about what I’m putting in my most intimate areas!

Realistic Silicone Hybrids (TPE, TPR, and ABS)

Often used to achieve the hyper-realistic look and texture you’ll see (body-safe silicone hybrids (whether that be TPE, TPR, or ABS for the handle) are a suitable option for anyone who wants something just like the “real thing”. Realistically flesh-like, with soft and flexible capabilities, these materials are often thermo-reactive, warming to the touch of human skin. An ever-increasing popular feature for toys! Due to its softness, it may not be the strongest of materials, however, they are also one of the most budget-friendly options when it comes to Classic Vibrators! 

Glass and Stainless Steel

Super safe and super smooth!

Most glass classic vibrators!  are made from borosilicate glass, think of the Pyrex dishes in your cupboard, which is heat-resistant and shatterproof. The same goes for metal classic vibrators, which are often made from Stainless Steel. Rigid and smooth, these materials are ideal for giving the user ultimate control during use, and perfect for weighted or pressure-play massaging alongside vibrations! These materials are also 100% non-porous making them the ultimate in body-safety, are incredibly easy to clean! Of course, these types of classic vibrators are investments, and you do pay more for quality and luxury. 

3. Battery-operated Vs Rechargeable 

Battery Powered

Convenient, discreet, and affordable.
Perfect for those who don’t want to spend a lot, or those who are just testing the waters, battery-operated Classic Vibrators are the perfect option! The most budget-friendly of our ranges, battery-operated items are often less expensive than rechargeable toys. Not only that, but these types of toys don’t require any down time, just pop in a fresh set of batteries and they’ll keep up with you. After all there’s no rest for the wicked! 

BeDaring offer a 30-day manufacturer’s warranty on all battery-operated sex toys.

Rechargeable

Powerful, quiet, and orgasmic. 

Often a feature of our more luxurious Classic Vibrators, rechargeable sex toys are the future of sex toys. With the ability to be directly USB charged from a power-source, rechargeable toys bring out-of-this-world power to the table! Not only that, but you also get more bang for your bang, with longer usage times available (due to the lithium battery) than battery-operated items. If you’re ready to invest in your pleasure, then charge up with a rechargeable toy!

BeDaring offer a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty on all rechargeable sex toys.

Using A Classic Vibrator

Use a Lubricant

Lube is the gift that gives, and gives, and gives – for your pleasure. How selfless? 

Using lubricant is a breathtaking way of taking your session to the next-level – I would even consider it an essential! When using the correct lubricant, friction should be eased and the slippery times begin! Using lubricant is completely normal, and is an effective way of coaxing out your own natural lubrication and minimising injury during sex. 

However, it’s important to use a lubricant that is safe for you and your toy! Remember two silicones don’t make a right!

Solo Play

Get creative and experiment with your orgasm! 

We recommend using a toy three times on your own before introducing it to the bedroom with a new partner. It may sound selfish, but who is going to know your pleasure better than YOU? Classic vibrators can be used for internal or external stimulation, and have a variety of speeds and functions to try out! With core-shattering vibrations and rigid designs for maximum stimulation, a classic vibrator is certainly enough to orgasm from! However, if you like to indulge yourself, pair it alongside a bullet vibrator for external stimulation, and enjoy! 

Partnered Play

Keep the spark alive and use your classic vibrator with your partner!
Although it’s close, the Classic Vibrator will never quite be like the real-thing, so why not bring the 2 worlds together! A great way of increasing intimacy and supporting healthy communication, using toys with your partner is a fun experience to find what you like!
You could use a Classic Vibrator for; double penetration, for finishing post-intercourse, an all-over body massager – but the only limitation is your imagination!

Looking After You and Your Toy

• To ensure there is no risk of infection or irritation, clean your toy with an antibacterial cleaner before and after every use.
• Thoroughly dry your toy after cleaning it.
• Invest in a hygienic toy bag to store your toy in
