Vibrators and Dildos for Women—There Are Alternatives, Too

Sex toys for women: Dildos for manual masturbation

The “simplest” sex toys for women are dildos: a replica of the erect male penis. Unlike vibrators, dildos don’t have a motor and are therefore hand-operated.

These types of dildos are available:

• The classic dildo is rod-shaped and mimics the penis. It is designed to be inserted into the vagina.
• The anal dildo is inserted into the anus and is therefore smaller than a regular dildo.
• Those who want double penetration can opt for a double-ended dildo : This has a penis-shaped head at both ends and can therefore be inserted vaginally and anally at the same time. It’s also suitable when two people want to use the dildo at the same time (for example, when two women are having sex with each other).

Vibrators for More Pleasure

Similar to the dildo, the classic vibrator is also shaped like a penis. In addition, vibrators are equipped with a motor, allowing them to better stimulate a woman’s erogenous zones through vibrations. 

But these devices aren’t limited to rod-shaped models. Vibrators come in many forms:

• The classic vibrator imitates—just like the classic dildo—the penis. 
• The anal vibrator is smaller than the classic vibrator, as it is designed for insertion into the anus.
• Butterfly vibrators, clitoral stimulators or clitoral suction devices, clitoral pads, and pressure-wave vibrators are generally not used vaginally or anally. They are designed to stimulate other erogenous zones—especially the clitoris. 
• Much smaller are finger vibrators. These are also devices that are not inserted into the vagina or anus. Instead, they are placed on the finger to provide better stimulation during masturbation.
• The G-spot vibrator has a special shape: Its tip is curved so that a woman can reach and stimulate her G-spot with it.
• A special type of vibrator is the massager. This is usually rod-shaped as well and vibrates. However, since it is not intended for the vagina but rather for stimulating other areas, it has a much larger head.
• To help both partners have more fun during intercourse, there are also couples’ vibrators. Thanks to their special shape, they stimulate the genitalia of both partners.
• With a bead vibrator , you can heighten your pleasure even more. They resemble classic vibrators but also feature several rows of rotating beads. 
• Rabbit vibrators have a small extension on the shaft. This stimulates not only the vagina but also the clitoris. Rabbit vibrators can also have beads and provide even more pleasure thanks to their rotation.
• The thrusting vibrator or pulsator looks like a classic vibrator. In addition to vibration, however, it also has a thrusting function.
• For women who’d like to carry a vibrator with them on the go, there are vibro-eggs and bullets. As the name suggests, these are oval-shaped, like an egg or a bullet.
• Also designed for use on the go are wearables and vibrating panties . These are small, wearable (contact) vibrators or even underwear that vibrates. Most models can also be controlled remotely.
