Curious About Using a Vibrator for the First Time? Start Here

There’s no one-size-fits-all vibrator for everyone. The best one for you addresses the sensation that you’re after (be it clitoral, G-spot, oral, anal, massage, or otherwise) and your budget.

If this is your very first vibrator (or someone else’s), you’re probably not going to want to drop a big ol’ wad of dough only to find out you’re not into the toy’s sensation. You may also not want to experiment with a toy that has a ton of features and intensities because that feels overwhelming. Conversely, maybe you do want to invest in a toy with a wide range of vibrations, so that you have variety for later.

I’ve made some suggestions above for beginner-friendly vibrator picks, but overall the best budget vibe for direct clitoral stimulation that’s easy to use is the Maude Vibe. To mimic oral sex, go for the Satisfyer Pro 2. And to really upgrade, pick the Lelo Sona 2 Cruise (it’s so powerful!). A great budget pick for G-spot stimulation is the Romp Jazz Rabbit, but to upgrade, get the Lelo Gigi 2.
