Rabbit Vibrators

How to choose a rabbit vibrator

Rabbit vibrators are the classic dual-stimulation toy: the shaft goes inside while the "ears" or arm sits against the clitoris. Because anatomy varies, the best rabbit for you depends on fit as much as features. For more background, read our post on why the luxury rabbit vibrator is so much fun.

Shaft size and shape

• Length: an insertable length of roughly 4 to 5 inches suits most people; longer shafts are not necessary to reach the G-spot, which sits a couple of inches inside on the front wall.
• Girth: slimmer shafts are easier for beginners; thicker ones give more fullness.
• Curve: a curved or come-hither tip presses toward the G-spot. Fans of internal sensation should also browse G-spot vibrators.

The clitoral arm

Fit is everything. The distance between the base of the shaft and the clitoral arm differs from body to body, so a flexible arm that bends to meet you is the safest bet if you are buying your first rabbit. Arms come in classic vibrating ears, tapping or flicking tips, and air-pulse or suction heads that feel like a gentle sucking rhythm.

Motion and controls

Rotating beads and gyrating heads add movement near the entrance, while thrusting rabbits move the shaft for you; see thrusting vibrators if that sounds like your thing. Look for independent controls so you can run the shaft and arm at different settings. Rechargeable, waterproof designs make life easier, and silicone is the material to look for since it is non-porous and easy to clean.

How to use a rabbit vibrator

• Warm up first with fingers or external play so you are relaxed and aroused.
• Apply a generous amount of water-based lube to the shaft.
• Insert slowly with the vibration off or on low, angling the curve toward your belly button.
• Rock or adjust the toy until the arm sits comfortably on or beside the clitoris.
• Turn up the clitoral arm and shaft separately until you find your combination.

Rabbits work in most positions, but lying on your back with knees bent gives you the easiest control. Our roundup of the top rabbit vibrators and how to choose the right one has more tips.

Cleaning and lube compatibility

• Wash the shaft, arm and the crease between them with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner before and after use; lube likes to hide in the gap.
• Rotating and thrusting models have moving parts, so only submerge them if they are labeled waterproof.
• Use water-based lube on silicone rabbits; silicone lube can degrade silicone surfaces.
• Store dry, in a pouch, and charge before the battery runs fully flat.
