Made famous by a starring role in ‘Sex and the city’ in the late 90's the Rabbit vibrator has now reached iconic sex toy status. So does it really warrant 20 years of fame and is the Rabbit vibe really all it’s cracked up to be? Lots of people LOVE Rabbit vibes and when they first used one it was a life changing experience…however no sex toy is a ‘one size fits all’ and the only way to find out if a Rabbit vibe rocks your world is to try one.

It’s safe to say that the vibrator in the 21^st century is a symbol of sexual empowerment. Vibration offers enhanced stimulation to all those wonderful nerve endings in our erogenous zones that give us sexual pleasure. For many people (and that’s all genders and sexual orientations) a vibrating sex toy is pleasurable and fun…and for many vibration is a tool for orgasmic pleasure.

So back to the Rabbit vibrator…what is unique about a Rabbit vibrator is that it offers dual stimulation, so that’s external and internal. For cis-gender women in a nutshell that means it stimulates the clitoris AND ad the vagina at the same time. As a massive proportion of cis-gender women require direct clitoral stimulation in order to orgasm a Rabbit vibes tickling ears are designed to do just that –stimulate the 8000 nerve endings of the clitoris. Internally most Rabbit Vibes have a shaft that either vibrates, rotates or both. If you love a full sensation, vibration vaginally or vibration on your g-spot a Rabbit vibe has the potential to deliver. Yes Wow!! Whatever your bits, a Rabbit vibe can feel fantastic and stimulating. However do be aware that most rabbit vibes are marketed to cis-gender women.

Rabbit Vibes have come a long way design wise in the last 20 years, and technologically they have evolved as well. Nowadays your Rabbit vibe will be made from skin friendly medical grade silicone that is body safe. Why is that important? Well for years the vibrator industry was completely (and it still is) and vibrators were made from dodgy materials that potentially leached toxic chemicals…so to ensure your vibrator is safe to use medical grade silicone is a must. It also feels great…smooth, silky and warms to the body temperature. It is also non-porous and super easy to clean. NB there are still cheap and nasty Rabbit vibrators being made and it’s a no-brainer that you deserve a quality sex toy, so it is well worth spending more on a quality toy.

Shape wise your quality 21^st century Rabbit vibe will be contoured, flexible and designed ergonomically to be comfortable to use.  Some will have a tickler that is shaped like rabbit ears but many of the latest designs are focused on shape for enhanced pleasure rather than an animal totem (phew!). There are differences in size, shape and girth and options shaped specifically with G-spot stimulation in mind. Think about what sensation you like internally to you can choose the best option. As we are all unique individuals who like different forms of sexual stimulation buying what is popular vibe wise is not advisable –you may not enjoy the same vibe as your friends or partner and that’s totally cool!

Rechargeable technology has revolutionised vibrator use so you don’t have to be constantly purchasing and changing batteries. Most vibrators nowadays come with a USB compatible charger. Look out for charging time variations and how much vibration time each vibe offers. Most Rabbit vibes will have a motor in the tickler and another in the shaft. Some will have separate controls and others will operate on the same controls. Most Rabbit vibes will have multiple vibrating options with variable vibration intensity and patterns such as pulsating options.

So will you love a Rabbit vibe? You may not know until you try one. Having a toy that stimulates both internally and externally at the same time definitely opens up the options for stimulation. A Rabbit vibe is not just for solo use either…it can be a fabulous couples toy and using a vibrating toy with your sexual partner is a fantastic way to open up communication around sex and explore more ways to have sexual fun together.
