Key features to consider

Looking for a vibrator but not sure what to buy? We are here to help you make the right decision. Whether you're investing in your first sex toy or trying something new, we've put together some tips on what to consider so you can make the right choice for your needs. In our sex shop you will find under each product a complete description and all its features detailed in a separate table.


Size

Check the dimensions to make sure you're happy with the size - it might be bigger or smaller than you thought. And make sure you like the look of it too!

Material

Vibrators come in a huge range of shapes and sizes, and there is also a wide variety of materials.

Silicone: One of the most common materials used is silicone. It is soft and has no pores, making it extremely hygienic.

Jelly: Soft and slightly flexible when used to make vibrators - designed to mimic the feel of skin. A less expensive alternative to silicone, but if you are allergic to latex, avoid this material!

ABS: A tough, non-porous hard but smooth plastic, ABS is the material for you who prefer harder vibrators.

TPR, TPE and any realistic-feeling  materials: Need thorough cleaning after use as they are more porous than harder plastics and silicone, making them more susceptible to bacterial growth.

Metal  and glass are also very good options.

 

Speeds and power

See the range of settings and speeds on offer and how it's powered. Battery operated vibrators tend to be the cheapest and most popular. Rechargeable toys are a bit more expensive, but you can avoid the constant cost of replacing batteries!

 

Batteries

Advantages

No need to wait for your vibrator to charge - just pop in the right batteries and you're instantly ready to go!

Easy to travel with – just remove the batteries to avoid operation when you don't want it!

Battery powered vibrators tend to be more discreet in size

Disadvantages

Batteries are an additional cost

Some vibrators require obscure and hard-to-find batteries

 

Rechargeable

Advantages

Charging takes a long time (usually 2 or 3 hours)!

Rechargeable vibrators are often more powerful!

No need to keep buying replacement batteries!

 Disadvantages

Rechargeable vibrators tend to be more expensive.

You have to wait for it to fully charge before you can use it, which can be particularly annoying, especially if the battery dies while you're using it.

 

Suitable lubricant

You may need to use lubricant  when using your vibrator. Water-based lubricants are the safest for most people, as they are economical, safe for the body and generally do not stain. Be sure to check which lubricants can be used with your toy and never use silicone lubricant with silicone toys as it can damage the material and ruin your product.

 

How to clean your vibrator!

Wash your toy with an unscented, antibacterial soap, warm water, before and after use. At miloxshop you will find specialized antibacterial cleaners  that you can buy together with your vibrator. Make sure your toy is completely dry (natural air drying is best) before storing it in its box. If you don't have its box, we suggest buying a silk or satin storage bag to keep dust out.
