Your First Vibrator | Ask Ada
Dipping your toe into the pristine waters of personal pleasure can be quite the step, luckily Love Kosova’s Ada is here to run through a few simple things to consider when purchasing your first vibrator.
Everybody is different. Don’t necessarily go into this search with the eye of finding “the perfect vibrator” but prioritise and establish “what is the perfect vibrator for now”. Developing a greater awareness of what meets your sexual needs will help prepare yourself for later adventures and should provide some pleasant surprises along the way.
Take it Slow:
With great power comes great responsibility.
Don’t buy a powerful vibrator with the expectation that it will take you from 0 to 10 on command. These things take time to get used to so take things day by day and see where it takes you. Jumping in the deep end too early can knock confidence so it’s always a good idea to start with low powered devices and managing expectations.
In the instance that your first vibrator exercises a tad too much strength down there there are a few precautions that can be taken such as using clothing or a duvet to reduce the intensity of vibrations.
Be wary of creams, pills and other medicines/pharmaceuticals that claim to numb or delay orgasm. For advice on these issues please contact your qualified sexual/intimate health consultant/clinician.
All in all, the best advice we could give here is simply: Start small.
Bigger isn’t always better:
To use a more relatable example, electric toothbrushes tend to have small heads, yet they still get the job better than larger big brushed traditional counterparts. Similarly well placed a mini vibrator can easily provide perfectly adequate clitorial stimulation to induce some leg shuddering orgasms.
It is worth mentioning an easily overseen aspect of vibrator ownership:
“The bigger the vibrator the harder it can be to conceal”
I’d recommend finding a box in a secret place where you can hide your toys from the grasp of children, friends and family.
Some mini vibrators are small enough to carry around with you for much-needed relief away from home. Larger vibrators come with travel locks to prevent any accidental vibrations in transit!
Instead of focusing purely on where your vibrator will take you, it’s always worth turning this question on its head and asking yourself:
“Where am I taking my vibrator?”
Smooth start:
Things go smoother with a bit of lubrication. I would definitely recommend some water-based Sex Lube to make your first experience more enjoyable, any sexual experience in fact.
Love Kosova sells a section of Sex Lubes to help become closely aquanted with your new toy.
Shower thoughts:
Did you know that some vibrators are waterproof meaning you can not only shower them with you? It’s worth quickly mentioning that bath/shower water can cause friction so lubrication is certainly recommended here.
Look out for the “Waterproof” logo in the description and when in doubt please consult the product documentation and website prior to taking your vibrator on any aquatic adventures.
Make sure you care for your waterproof as any unintentional damage or wear could cause water to enter the device.
Needless to say, this isn’t a good thing.
Keep it clean:
Having fun can be an incredibly filthy affair, especially so if you've followed the prior advice and got off to a good start.
It’s incredibly important to look after your toys. Being vaginally inserted and exposed to bodily fluids it’s important to be thorough when cleaning. Failure to do so can lead to the transmission of STDs (Sexually Transmitted Infections), UTIs (Urinary tract infections) and bacterial vaginosis.
In short: look after your toys and they’ll look after you. Love Kosova sells a section of Toy Cleaner to help your toys look their best. For more information check our our Toy Cleaning Guide
Have Fun:
Probably the most important point here and the often overlooked aspect. Buying your first vibrator isn’t a race or steadfast guarantee, although there are plenty of prizes to be won.
Achieving incredible orgasms isn’t just about having a powerful partner to hand, it’s about being about to relax and truly let yourself go.
So why not book the night off for your date with your first vibrator, a long and happy relationship I hope.
