A vibrator is a device for the body and the skin, it stimulates the nerves for a feeling of relaxation and pleasure. Some are designed to stimulate erogenous zones such as the clitoris.
For centuries, doctors have used female masturbation for what is mistakenly called « female hysteria. » « Pelvic massage » was particularly prevalent in the treatment of female hysteria during the Victorian era. However, the doctors of the time found the work tedious and difficult.
One of the first sex toys was a steam device called the « manipulator », which was created by American doctor George Taylor.
This machine is a rather clumsy device, but announced as a relief for the doctors who, by dint of pelvic massage, suffer from the wrists and hands. Around 1880, Dr. Joseph Mortimer Granville patented the first electromechanical vibrator. The historical fiction Hysteria stages a revamped story of the naughty toy.
In 1902, the American company Hamilton Beach patented the first electric vibrator available for retail sale, making it the fifth device to have been electrified for home use, after the sewing machine, fan, kettle, grill- bread, and about a decade before the vacuum cleaner and iron. The original version quickly became extremely popular, with advertisements in magazines like Home Companion, Modern Priscilla …
Vibrators disappeared in the 1920s, apparently because their appearance in pornography made them no longer acceptable in « good » society.
It reappeared with the sexual revolution of the 1960s. On June 30, 1966, Jon H. Tavel filed a patent for the « Wireless electric vibrator for use on the human body », and thus heralds the return of the modern personal vibrating sex toy. The patent application refers to an earlier patent dating from 1938 for a flashlight with a shape which leaves little doubt as to a possible alternative use. The cordless vibrator was patented on March 28, 1968, and was soon followed by improvements such as multi-speed and one-piece, which made it cheaper to manufacture and easy to clean.
Since the 1980s, sex toys have become more and more present in mainstream public culture, thanks to the series sex and the city in which the character of Charlotte becomes addicted to a rabbit vibrator.
In the United States, large distribution chains like Walmart are among the national retailers that include rabbit vibro on store shelves.
Research published in a 2009 issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine shows that nearly 53% of women and 46% of men between the ages of 18 and 60 have ever used a vibrator.
It may be recommended by sex therapists for women who have difficulty reaching orgasm through masturbation and / or sex.
Couples can also choose to use one to increase the pleasure of one or both partners. There is a sex toy that works as a small vibrator specially designed for couples to use during sex, the We vibe 3.
Some perform a function of clitoral stimulator only. Some run on batteries while others have a power cord that plugs into a wall outlet. Some, from luxury brands like Lelo, Fun Factory and many others, present on the online sex shop arbredesplaisirs.com, are also completely covered with medical grade silicone.
There is a wide range of them, but most of them fall into several broad categories:
Clitoris stimulator: These are powerful sex toys such as the Palm Power massager clitoris stimulator or the We-vibe touch clitoris stimulator. It is a sextoy used to give sexual pleasure and improve orgasm by stimulating the clitoris.
Although most of the vibrators available can be used as clitoral stimulators, they may have special designs and models that do not look like a realistic sex toy. There is also the double vibrator or rabbit which offers stimulation of both the clitoris and the G-spot. There is also the vibrating egg which is as the name suggests a small egg to be inserted into the vagina. This vibrating egg without phthalate can be operated from a distance like the Leila vibrating egg from the Odeco brand for the Secret Bullet vibrating egg from the Love to Love brand.
Finally, there is a whole range of playful toys such as the vibrating duck, the mini wormie, or the collection of Fun Factory vibrators. Regardless of the model chosen, the main function of the clitoral stimulator is essentially the same, i.e. to provide pleasure via vibrations at varying speeds. Some stimulators can be inserted into the vagina. They often have the appearance of a small animal, such as a rabbit, a dolphin perched near the base of the vibrator and facing forward, which promotes stimulation of the clitoris at the same time as vaginal stimulation, that is, is the case of the vibro rabbit like the Tiger from fun factory or the Twin turbo rabbit.
There are also penis shaped ones, they can also be plastic, silicone, rubber, vinyl or latex. There are many realistic models and designs like The boss fun factory. Realistic vibrators are also designed for both individual and partner use. They can be used for vaginal and anal penetration, as well as oral penetration. They come in different sizes, colors and textures and they can be double ended in order to have both anal and vaginal stimulation performed at the same time we speak of double dong.
There are also waterproof ones: The vibrator can be used in a humid place, such as in the shower. Although marketed as waterproof, most should not be submerged. Those designed for underwater use can be used in the pool, bath or shower or any other wet location. We recommend using a lubricant compatible with water, such as a silicone-based lubricant. It is advisable to check the battery to make sure it is not faulty before using your vibrator. They last longer if they are dried after each use and the batteries are kept outside the vibrator when it is not in use.
The rabbit vibrator for stimulation of both the vagina and the clitoris. It was featured on Sex and the City in the late 90s. It actually consists of two vibrators of different sizes. One, phallus-shaped is meant to be inserted into the vagina to stimulate the vagina, while a small clitoral stimulator is placed forward over the main phallus. The rabbit was named after the shape of the clitoral stimulator, which resembles a pair of rabbit ears. They are normally made of rubber, jelly, silicone or latex.
G point vibrator: similar to the traditional toy but with a curve to stimulate the G point. The curve allows to stimulate the G point or the prostate. G-spot vibrators are specially designed to stimulate the G-spot in women and the prostate in men. This type of product is more curved towards the end and it is made of materials such as silicone or acrylic. It also comes in different colors, shapes and sizes, and it can be used with or without vibration. It is recommended to use them with a significant amount of lubricant, especially when used to induce sexual pleasure in men.
Vibrating egg: The vibrating egg can be used for stimulation of the clitoris or to be introduced into the vagina. The vibrating egg, also known as a love egg, is a type of vibrator that can also be shaped like a ball. They are considered discreet sex toys because they are no more than 3 cm long and ¾ inch wide.
The rocket vibrator: shape of a cylinder. It is designed to stimulate the clitoris or nipples, not for vaginal insertion. A pocket rocket is a mini vibrator looks like a small flashlight format like the mini bullet vibe. The Pocket Rocket vibrator is a discreet sex toy that can be carried everywhere in its bag or case. It is specially designed to provide clitoral stimulation.
Camouflage vibrators: They are discreet, shaped like everyday objects, such as tubes of lipstick. This type of vibrator is made up of a wide range of materials, shapes and colors. These vibrators are usually quite small and most of the time they only have one speed and are powered by a single battery. They tend to copy an exact shape and design of the object they are intended to imitate. We can give the example of vibrant lipstick.
prostate stimulator : Vibrators designed for anal use have either a flared base or a long handle with a handle, to prevent them from sliding in and becoming lodged in the rectum. They come in different shapes. They are recommended to be used with a large amount of lubricant and to be inserted gently and carefully to avoid any potential damage to the rectal mucosa.
Butterfly vibrator: It is tied around the waist to leave the legs and hands free. This allows stimulation of the clitoris during intercourse. The butterfly vibrator was named after its shape. See the Venus Butterfly Wireless Vibrator.
Vibrating ring: Vibrator (usually wireless) inserted or attached to a penis ring, generally used for stimulation of the clitoris. This vibrating sex toy is actually a part of a penis ring which is attached to the penis to enhance stimulation of the clitoris during sex.
Rabbit vibrator: They are designed to stimulate two erogenous zones, simultaneously or independently. They usually come in the form of a clitoral stimulator coupled with a vaginal vibrator.
Triple zone vibrators: They are designed to stimulate three erogenous zones, simultaneously or independently. These provide stimulation to the vagina, clitoris and anus.
Multi-speed vibrators: They allow users to customize the speed of the vibrator’s movements. Depending on the type, gearshifting is done at the push of a button allowing users to change gears multiple times throughout use. Multi-speed vibrators can be used for clitoris, anal or vaginal stimulation.
