Best Vibrators for Beginners: How to Choose Your First One

Your first vibrator should feel easy, not intimidating. The best beginner options are small, simple to use, and made from body-safe materials, so you can focus on figuring out what you like instead of fighting with settings.

What to look for in a first vibrator

1. Start with a simple shape

Bullets, eggs and slim curved vibrators are easy to hold and control. You do not need a toy with six motors and a dozen modes to have a great time. Many people find that a single well-made vibrator is all they ever need.

2. Look for adjustable intensity

Sensitivity is personal and it changes from day to day. A vibrator with several settings lets you start gently and build up. If you are unsure, choose one with a low starting speed.

3. Choose body-safe materials

Silicone is the most common choice for good reason: it is smooth, non-porous and easy to clean. Avoid unlabeled materials with strong chemical smells.

4. Think about noise and privacy

If quiet matters to you, look for a compact toy that is designed to be discreet. Small bullets and eggs tend to be the quietest and easiest to store.

5. Do not forget lube

A little water-based lubricant makes any toy more comfortable. Read our guide to water-based vs. silicone-based lubricants if you are not sure which to pick.

How to use your first vibrator

1. Wash it first. Clean your toy with warm water and mild soap or a dedicated toy cleaner before the first use.
2. Set the mood. Pick a private, comfortable moment where you will not be rushed.
3. Start on the lowest setting. You can always turn it up. Try the toy over clothing first if that feels more comfortable.
4. Explore slowly. Move it around and notice what feels good. There is no right or wrong way.
5. Clean it afterwards. Wash, dry and store it somewhere clean. Our guide to cleaning and caring for your products has the details.
