The one tool that has always stood the test of time for those looking for a bit of fun is the vibrator, and you deserve to understand why. ‘But how do I choose one?’ we hear you say: we’ve got you. Though there are so many, many options out there, in reality there are some key variants you’re going to come across again and again. Knowing what these are might just make the experience of exploring The Natural Love Company, Love Not War or even LoveHoney just that little bit easier. Let's delve into the world of the best vibrators to keep your self really happy ;)

What to Look For in a Vibrator…

Body Safe Material

  • Opt for toys made of nonporous, nontoxic materials. It will keep your toy and you much happier.

  • Ensure compatibility with water-based lubricants for a smoother experience all round.

  • Easy-to-clean features are a bonus, you really don’t want any bacteria sticking around after.

Battery Life

  • Rechargeable batteries are convenient, but some models might automatically shut off during use, so decide what is going to be best for you, and how you plan to use your vibrator.

  • Corded options guarantee uninterrupted pleasure, but they’re often a little more expensive and not very portable - so again, think about how you’re actually going to use this thing.

  • Options that require batteries are often smaller, so size is a consideration for this too. But you can never go wrong with a little bullet. Ultimately, it’s all about your desires, so make a list, and go in with them in mind.

Warranty Coverage

  • A warranty provides peace of mind, especially for nonreturnable purchases. Might feel strange for this kind of purchase, but trust us, you don’t want to be ripped off because you bought it from a dodgy store than won’t refund you for the toy dying after two uses….

Personal Preference

  • Reviews offer insights, but remember that everyone's sexual response is unique. Everyone has different wants, needs, and desires. This is entirely for you, and you alone - don’t forget that ;)

  • Consider your preferences and comfort when choosing the perfect vibrator. Are you going to be travelling with it? Is it a stay at home kind of vibe? Your choice entirely.
