“No matter how powerful the vibrator is, it would be a huge mistake to buy something you think looks scary, garish, or aesthetically unappealing.”— womenshealthmag, womenshealthmag.com
“Just have fun and go for it – and use your imaginations to find creative new ways to explore, experiment and enjoy.”— Natasha Burton, k-y.com
“Choosing a vibrator together, as a couple, is a great way to connect and understand each other even better. Visit a store where you can both see, touch, and hold the various products firsthand, or if you prefer, you can browse together online.”— Natasha Burton, k-y.com
“Store your toys wrapped in cloth or in a cloth bag (luckily, many toys come with their own dust bags, so don’t throw them out).”— Anna Borges, buzzfeed.com
“Look out for any irregularities that might signal it’s time to throw out your toy.”— Anna Borges, buzzfeed.com

“I have a waterproof vibrator and I like to use it all over my body, starting from my feet, going up the back of my legs, butt cheeks, anus rimming, nipples, neck, ears, lips… everywhere!”— Scarlett Robinson, youqueen.com
“If your vibrator only has one or two speed setting you can increase the build up by starting stimulation over clothes – don’t take your knickers off straight away!”— Scarlett Robinson, youqueen.com
“Once you have become fully acquainted with your new toy/best friend, you can then increase your pleasure by adding new toys to your collection to use with your vibrator which can often be a much more effective method of multi-stimulation than using a product with all the bits attached.”— Scarlett Robinson, youqueen.com
“Choose a waterproof vibrator to use in the tub or shower.

We can be more relaxed in the bathtub, but some vibrators make more noise under water.”— Joan Price, seniorplanet.org
“Play music while you use your vibrator. Of course, you don’t want the music to be so loud that someone will bang on your door.”— Joan Price, seniorplanet.org

“Pulse settings give you a bit of a contrast. It’s essentially a clitoral massage, and exploring these massage settings means even more excuses to lock yourself in your bedroom with some loud music and a hard-drive full of porn.”— The Debrief, thedebrief.co.uk
“Use your bullet vibrator to bring yourself to the edge, then repeat and repeat until you can’t repeat any more. Especially useful when you’ve got a night in lined up and you’ve got no decent box sets to watch on Netflix.”— The Debrief, thedebrief.co.uk
“Turn it down low, and wrap it in your panties to lessen the sensation. Then hold the vibrator against his boys while you fondle his shaft. A guy's testicles can't take very much stimulation, so the muffled shaking is right.”— Bethany Heitman, cosmopolitan.com
“Lay him on the bed, turn it on, and rub it over him. Start at his knees, run up his upper thighs, and circle it around the bulge in his pants. This way, he'll get comfortable with the feeling.”— Bethany Heitman, cosmopolitan.com
