At some point in your sex toy journey, you’re going to want to upgrade and learn how to use a rabbit vibrator. If you have a vulva, adding one the best rabbit vibrators to your toy collection is an essential part of sexual exploration. Speaking from experience, if you want to score the elusive blended orgasm, it’s a rabbit vibrator that’s going to help you do that.
A rabbit vibrator is basically a vibrating dildo—sometimes referred to as an internal arm—that stimulates the G-spot while an external arm stimulates the clitoris. The reason the rabbit vibrator is called this was to get around obscenity laws in Japan when the products were exported. After all, how much damage could a phallic massager with an attached bunny wiggling its ears possibly do?
What to consider when purchasing a rabbit vibrator
Unlike traditional vibrators, rabbit vibrators are not necessarily one size fits all and can require a bit of finagling based on your anatomy. “It can be a bit tricky to know beforehand if a specific rabbit will be able to stimulate the clit and the G-spot at the same time,” says Sofie Roos, a relationship therapist, of Passionerad, a Swedish web-based magazine about sex toys. “However, a good jumping off point is to go for a well-known brand, as they tend to have gone through a better product development, been tested on more people with vulvas, and designed based on more people’s feedback which gives a shape that has a better likability to fit you well.” We recommend Lelo sex toys and Lovehoney sex toys (see below).
And while every rabbit vibe is designed to stimulate both the G-spot and the clitoris, suction vibrators have become more popular, so some rabbit vibrators have an external arm that’s also a clit sucker.
1. First, get to know your vibrator’s instructions
Although I’ve never been one to read every single word in any instruction manual, you at least want to read enough to know the important things: what material it’s made from, the vibration modes you can choose from, and whether or not it’s waterproof. If the rabbit has special features like cruise control or heats up to body temperature, these are also things you want to be aware of so you’re not surprised. So, while you’re reading the instructions, go through the speeds and patterns so you at least have some insight as to what you can achieve (or might want to avoid) when you finally put it to use.
2. Get your mind and body on board
It doesn’t matter if you’re trying your rabbit for the first time during a masturbation session or with a partner, your body needs to be prepped. “The first step is to make sure you’re aroused before inserting it,” says Roos. Too often people don’t wait until both their head and body are ready, so they miss out on the full experience. As Roos points out, your experience is going to be so much better if you’ve warmed yourself up and your vagina is sufficiently wet, either naturally or thanks to water-based lube. The latter especially if your vibrator is made from body-safe silicone, because you don’t want to destroy the material of your toy. You also want to be comfortable. Not just in your physical position, but mentally too. If you have roommates, make sure your bedroom door is locked so you can have peace of mind that you won’t be interrupted. Unless you’re an exhibitionist, then go forth and conquer.
3. Start with what you know you like
If you’ve graduated to using rabbit vibrators, then you probably already have a decent grasp on what you like in regards to stimulation, so stick with that at first. “Slide in the internal arm inside your vagina and locate your G-spot with it,” says Roos, adding that due to the shape of most internal arms on rabbits this step is relatively easy. You’ll know you’ve got the spot because it’s sensitive to the touch. With the one arm inside, align the external arm for maximum clit stimulation. Depending on the rabbit you’ve chosen, the external arm may be shaft-shaped, bunny ears, or a suction toy. Whatever it happens to be, apply lube to both the clitoris and the toy so the contact is silky smooth.
