First, look at the ingredients. For vibrators, you want them to be made of 100 percent platinum-cured silicone and/or ABS plastic. Hard shiny plastic is fine for parts that don’t touch your genitals, but platinum silicone is non-porous, easy to clean and safe for the bodyUnlike smaller grades of silicone, platinum silicone does not leave any strange odors or compounds that may be unpleasant or even harmful to your genitals, This is because it is chemically different from other types of silicone, surgical steel (also called 316 stainless steel) and borosilicate glass These are absolutely body safe, durable and non-porous, but are less common in vibrators and more common in dildos.
Second, look at the charger that the vibrator comes with. Is it USB-A, USB-C, or the proprietary AC adapter? I try to keep things simple and use a USB rechargeable vibrator with USB-A or USB-C. It’s very easy to lose a charger, and it’s comforting to know that you can use any charging cable you have lying around. There’s nothing worse than a toy that falls apart mid-use.
Third, when you get your new vibrator, first test its vibration strength on the tip of your nose. You should feel a tickling sensation in your nostrils and sinuses, which will give you an idea of how deeply it can stimulate into your genital tissues. Remember, about 90 percent of the clitoris cannot be stimulated directly because it is beneath the skin, so deep waves are important. The same applies to the phallus – erectile tissue runs deep in your body, and stimulating it with a vibrator can provide a new and exciting experience.
Finally, consider the price—especially if you’re on a budget. Some vibrators can be really expensive depending on the features they offer. For example, long-range devices and suction toys can cost a few hundred dollars. Although a high-quality, body-safe vibrator shouldn’t be cheap, you’ll also want to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth. Be sure to read the specifications so you know you’re making a financially wise decision. If a vibrator only has an hour of battery life, but it’ll cost you $200, keep looking.
