Q&A: What's the Best Vibrator?

Q&A: What's the Best Vibrator? - Sh! Women's Store

Dear Sh!

My girlfriend and I are looking for a vibrator that is quiet, stylish and safe. It must look good, not stink to high heaven of rubber and not cause any itching.

The last one we used caused some irritation when we used it. It smelt vile, which was off-putting in itself. And then others we've bought have said they're quiet, but when we've turned them on, the lawnmower sounds have just as equally turned us off!

And the majority of vibrators, especially the Japanese-made ones, look like the Virgin Mary on a rock with a pet beaver or something shoved on the end!

All we want is a sexy, quiet & powerful vibrator that does the job and is an enjoyable add-on toy to our sex life. Are we asking too much, or does this miracle of modern science exist?

Hello there,

Thanks for getting in touch!

So, you're looking for a vibrator that's quiet, stylish and bodysafe? Babes - we can help!

EXPERIENCING DISCOMFORT WITH YOUR VIBRATOR?

If a sex toy smells strongly of chemicals, it's likely made from Jelly. Jelly is soft and squishy, which feels nice, but the material contains phthalates. Phthalates are chemical softeners, unsuitable for your vagina.

Jelly toys are porous, so no matter how well you clean them, they'll never be squeaky clean. Soz. Lube and juices seep into the micropores, where bacteria multiply and eventually cause vaginal itching.

There is only one thing to do: Throw the smelly thing in the bin and treat yourself to a body-safe sex toy from Sh!

SILENT THRILLS

Let's kick things off with a fact: A product with a motor emits a hum. This can't be avoided. Fact. However, it depends on the job a motor has to do and the material the motor is housed in.

A vibrator that thrusts or twirls, for example, will be louder than a vibe that offers simple vibrations. And a plastic vibrator is louder than a silicone one. The silicone absorbs some noise, whereas the plastic can be rattly. 

Now, we understand the need for sex toys that are as quiet as possible. With this in mind, you can easily filter all our vibes for volume: Quiet Vibrators. Using the filter automatically sorts out the almost silent vibes from their louder mates :)

STYLISH VIBRATORS

Our website doesn't have a filter for 'stylish,' but it doesn't need to. All our vibrators are stylish! We cherry-pick all the sex toys on our website, and if a vibe is anything other than cute, sexy or stylish, we don't stock it. Simples! 

You can, however, filter colours. If you love blue, for example, take a look here: Blue Vibrators.

POWERFUL VIBRATIONS

When browsing vibrators, you can also filter for the intensity of vibrations. Our most intense vibes come in two filters:

Preference between the two is personal. Some folks need an intense, high-pitched buzz to get off, whereas others prefer clit-shaking throbs. 

BODY-SAFE SEX TOY MATERIALS

The best way to avoid a smelly, itchy vibe is to opt for a sex toy made from a better material.

Silicone is non-porous and hypoallergenic and unlikely to cause an itch in your ditch. Silicone toys are easy to keep clean, and it's an unlikely material to cause an allergy.

ABS Plastic is another body-safe material, but as plastic toys tend to be loud, we advise against a plastic toy on this occasion.

BEST VIBRATOR FOR YOU

We've done some filtering and have two suggestions that suit your criteria. Please bear in mind that we don't know if you are looking for a clitoral vibrator, a G-spot vibe or a rabbit-style sex toy; these are just examples of how the filtering works. Tick the boxes that apply, and the website shows you the options.

Filter: Pink + Quiet + High Intense + Silicone 

Slender Mini G-Spot Vibe is a petite playmate. Around 1.5 fingers in girth, it's a great choice if you want something small to help locate and stimulate the elusive G-spot.

With 3 continuous vibration speeds and 7 settings, there are many sexy modes to explore!

Filter: Black + Quiet + Deep Throbby + Silicone

Fun Factory G5 Tiger is one of our large toys. At 8 inches long, with 5 inches of playable length by 1.6 inches in diameter, the G5 Tiger is perfect for those who prefer a more fulfilling experience.

This sexy vibrator features soft ridges for penetrative pleasures and a front curve for G-spot massage. With 6 speeds and 6 patterns, there's a heap of thrilling sensations to explore!

The two examples are both popular toys, but as you can see, they are very different. The first G-spot vibe is short and slim, and the second vibrator is long and thick.

Length and width are personal preferences, and again, you can filter for this :) Of course, if you are looking for a clitoral vibrator, these measurements won't matter so much. Size matters more if you want a toy for penetrative pleasures. If your new buzzy buddy is for external play only, it's more important to get the vibrator pitch right.

We hope this helps!

Best Wishes
Team Sh! xx
