Debunking The Top Vibrator Myths: Separating Facts From Fiction

What You Think You Know May Be Wrong

Vibrators have been buzzing their way into our lives for ages, and they started off with quite the medical history and, no, not for treating hysteria in women, as so many people get wrong. With so many myths floating around about vibrators, it may be confusing to know what to believe.

Ready to dive into a fun and enlightening journey? Let's unpack the fascinating history of vibrators and address those buzzing questions you've all been curious about with the most commonly asked questions that people have about them.

Sex Toy Material Myths

First, let's set the record straight about a topic that's a hot topic online. There's a lot of chatter out there about the best materials for sex toys, and as an expert in sex toys for over two decades, I've noticed there is a lot of misinformation floating around.

In fact, there are so many bloggers that are spreading false education about sex toy materials that some myths have become thought of as common knowledge! For example, many people are under the impression that only medical-grade silicone is safe to use when, in fact, sex toys are rarely made with medical-grade silicone. But this does not mean they are not safe. There is a good reason for this!

Unfortunately, so many of these self-appointed sex toy experts fail to double-check reputable sources or check in with chemists or sex toy manufacturers before writing regurgitated nonsense. It's a serious problem because many consumers believe them.

The truth is that medical grade is not a type of silicone; rather, it refers to whether or not the silicone has been tested for medical use. Now, keep in mind that most of our favorite intimate toys aren't designed for medical purposes such as being surgically implanted and, thus, are not tested in this manner.

Instead, consumers should look for how silicone is cured and purchase platinum-grade or post-baked peroxide-cured silicones. That is what determines the purity, not how it is tested.

The Importance Of Ingredients & Curing Method

Think of the quality of silicone materials in the same way you evaluate a loaf of bread. Instead of focusing on whether the bread was tested for surgical purposes to ensure it was 'medical grade,' it's more important to know the ingredients and how it was baked. After all, you are not going to use the bread for surgical purposes and have it implanted in you permanently; you are just going to eat it.

Naturally, you'd want your bread made with high-quality ingredients and baked to perfection using the healthiest ingredients and a careful baking process to ensure it was nutritious while being enjoyable.

In this scenario, the ingredients and baking method (like the platinum-grade or post-baked peroxide-cured silicones) determine the quality of the bread, not just how it's tested. Just as the baking process and ingredients determine the quality of the bread, how silicone is cured and the ingredients used determine its purity.

A Brief History Of The Vibrator

Let's take a moment to dive into a fun fact from the past. Did you know that vibrators started off on the wellness scene? Vibrators were classified as a medical device during the 1900s.

In fact, the first electric vibrator was invented by a British physician, Joseph Mortimer Granville. It was designed to treat pain, sore muscles, spinal disease, erectile dysfunction (ED), and deafness. For the treatment of ED in men, the vibrator was placed on a man's perineum to enhance the possibility of an erection.

Where Did The Hysteria Vibrator Myth Come From?

A well-known myth about vibrators can be traced to Rachel Maines's 1999 book titled "Technology of Orgasm." She claimed that physicians treated women for illnesses such as hysteria by manually stimulating them with their fingers to reach orgasm. She proposed that those poor doctors got hand cramps, and voilà the vibrator was introduced.

You might've even heard this spicy tale that back in the day, doctors were the ones to introduce vibrators to help women climax. The story goes that once women got wind of this, they began to explore these pleasures on their own terms, with no doctor needed.

While it makes for a tantalizing narrative, doctors never used vibrators to stimulate women sexually; in fact, it was highly discouraged. It's yet another reminder that sometimes, the tales we hear aren't always as they seem, even when movies like the 2011 film "Hysteria," which starred Hugh Dancy and Maggie Gyllenhaal, portray it as such.

How Vibrators Were Originally Marketed

Vibrators became widespread when marketed to the general public in the early 1900s. Many ads featured men, women, and children promising to heal all kinds of ailments, from helping to reduce wrinkles to curing tuberculous.

Fast-forward to today, and it is easily laughable now to imagine such claims but remember that many people in holistic health and sex toy sales stretch the truth a bit or outright make false claims even today.

The First Vibrator

Hamilton Beach was the first company to patent the electric vibrator in 1902 and made it available to the general public. It was not uncommon to see advertisements for vibrators in many magazines marketed to women, such as Sears & Roebuck, Needlecraft, Modern Priscilla, and the Woman's Home Companion.

In the roaring '20s, vibrator ads began to show up in risqué magazines. Suddenly, what was once considered a product for health was seen by some as taboo. Thus, with the help of some prudish people, mainstream society shifted their perception of something that was for health purposes to something shameful due to their association with sexual pleasure.

Fifty years later, the world of pleasure toys evolved in a big way, and a new breed of sex toys began to emerge in the 1980s. There was a new movement that opened the doors to more mainstream sex toy shops, including some boutiques that were primarily marketed toward women.

However, most were initially focused on adult entertainment, and the big boom in marketing by and for women did not really start to heat up until the 2000s. Just within the last few decades, there has been a movement to not only make more upscale, quality sex toys but to make them with non-toxic materials with an array of beautiful designs and colors from which to choose.

The Introduction Of Silicone

If you're wondering when silicone sex toys became available, it was not until 1971 when Gosnell Duncan, a disabled Caribbean immigrant, found himself disappointed by the lack of quality and safe sex toys at a disability conference in Indianapolis.

Spotting a need, Duncan collaborated with a General Electric chemist, and together, they pioneered the first silicone dildos under the brand Paramount Therapeutic Products.

Although it took years for these groundbreaking sex toys to gain popularity, Duncan's innovation remains a pivotal, yet often unsung, chapter in sex toy evolution.

Benefits Of Vibrators

When it comes to bedroom gadgets, vibrators are about so much more than a bit of fun and relaxation. Of course, they're fantastic for making pleasure easier to attain, but here's the part that doesn't always make it into the conversation.

In addition to providing pleasure, vibrators can increase blood flow, ease stress, and assist with sexual dysfunction, as well as help those with disabilities, making sexual stimulation more accessible.

Addressing Disabilities & Dysfunction

For many facing challenges with sexual dysfunction and sexual disabilities, vibrators have become more than just a fun accessory. They may be an essential part of their sex life as they can help reduce or resolve sexual issues by increasing blood flow to the genitals. This, in turn, may allow for an increase in sexual response and orgasms.

Erectile Dysfunction Assistance

Vibrators can also help a man or person with a penis ejaculate, which may not only provide pleasure but also allow them to have a child in situations where traditional conception methods aren't an option.

Penis vibrators also enable one to sexually stimulate themselves, giving you a way to explore when it is difficult or impossible due to a health or mobility issue.

Help Achieving Orgasm

In a 1999 report, the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that 25 percent of women have difficulty having orgasms or can't get there at all. On a brighter note, another study by The National Institutes of Health (NIH) gave us some exciting intel as it was found that women who used vibrators had a better sex life and overall sexual functioning.

Vibrators have been shown through various studies to provide women with higher arousal levels, easier to achieve orgasms, increased amounts of orgasms, and overall increased sex drive. Who knew self-care could be this fun?

Vibrators & Couples

Many people think that vibrators are more for singles, but they are used by over 60% of couples. A surprising study from the University of Indiana researchers in 2009 found that married women are more likely to use vibrators (50 percent) than singles (29 percent). Let's look at what else was discovered:

Common Questions & Myths About Vibrators

Do Men Use Vibrators With Female Partners?

Almost half of adult men (45 percent) use vibrators with a partner at least once, with 82 percent of those men using them on a woman's clitoris during vaginal intercourse.

The cherry on top? Men who bring vibrators into the mix are spicing things up, with partners reporting increased libido, better erections, orgasms, and sexual satisfaction.

Do Vibrators Cause Genitals To Become Permanently Numb?

Ever had that "ahh-mazing" feeling when someone scratches your back? It's like an instant spa moment, right? And hello, instant goosebumps!

The initial sensation can feel fantastic; however, if that back-scratching session went on and on, the initial thrill you received from the sensation would fade, and it may not seem as stimulating.

If someone continues to scratch your back, it might start feeling more annoying than soothing, right? It's like that with anything that's overdone—even with something as enjoyable as using a vibrator.

When using a vibrator, it's like giving your nerve endings a little workout. But just like any other workout, too much can be overwhelming. Our nerve endings are not designed to take continued stimulation.

Thus, prolonged vibrator use may cause temporary numbness, but don't worry—it should fade and isn't permanent. Remember, balance is key in all things related to our bodies!

Women's experiences with vibrators:

• 71.5% had no adverse reactions.
• 16% felt slight numbness at the area of use.
• 3% experienced pain at the area of use.
• 8% noticed unusual swelling at the area of use.
• 10% felt irritation at the area of use.
• 1% observed cracks and sores at the area of use.

If a vibrator causes you to feel a little numb, try not to use firm pressure; rather, rest it lightly on the vulva and clitoris. However, pain is your body's little red flag waving at you, saying, "Hey! Pay attention to this!"

So if any sex toy is causing pain, explore this with your healthcare provider, as it may not be the sex toy; rather, you may be experiencing a reaction from a health condition that should be addressed.

For example, it is not uncommon to have an autoimmune reaction from vibration which is less about the type of vibrator and more about the friction causing a histamine reaction. Or, if you are going through cancer treatment, you may be especially sensitive to sexual stimulation.

If you find you need a total change from the friction of a vibrator, consider switching to using an air pulse stimulator instead.

Air Pulse Stimulators

Let's pause and take a moment to chat about air pulse stimulators. Now, despite the name, they don't actually vibrate or give suction. Think of them more as trendy clitoral stimulators.

Instead of vibration or suction, they use gentle puffs of air to create waves of pleasure. While they might have different names depending on the brand—like "Pleasure Air Technology" by Womanizer, "Air-Pulse Technology" by Satisfyer, or "SenSonic Technology" by LELO—they're all centered around the same tantalizing concept.

Sex experts also call them things like Air Pulse Sex Toys, Sonic Pulse Stimulators, and Clit Sucker Toys. We often label them Clitoral Suction Vibrators on our site just because it's what most of you fabulous folks are searching for when you look for them, and we want you to find them!

To make things even more confusing, some air pulse stimulators also have a separate motor for vibration. Those sex toys are both an air pulse stimulator and a vibrator.

Air Pulse Vs. Vibrators

Air pulse sex toys offer pinpoint stimulation to the clitoris, and unlike some vibrators, there’s no risk of numbness even with longer play sessions. They can also amplify blood flow, helping to crank up the intensity of an orgasm.

Moreover, for ladies grappling with sexual health challenges, it can be a tad tougher to have an orgasm due to reduced blood flow. While vibrators can give a little boost to get things going, some find that, by the time they're revved up, they become a bit numb to the vibes, making that big 'O' elusive.

But here's why air pulse is a game-changer: clitoral stimulators that use sonic air pulses don’t have that numbing effect, so they might just be the perfect solution for women facing these circulation challenges.

For more information on air pulse sex toys, please see our Air Pulse Sex Toys Guide.

Do Vibrators Cause Lasting Nerve Damage?

Did you know that both the clitoris and the tip of the penis are super-sensitive spots packed with nerve endings? That's why they feel so good when touched, especially with a little buzzing friend like a vibrator.

Now, if a vibrator is used for an extended time, your nerve endings may become temporarily desensitized, meaning they might feel a bit less sensitive for a short time.

Just give it a little break, and everything will bounce back, allowing normal sensation to return. An average vibrating sex toy, when used appropriately, should not cause nerve damage.

Do Vibrators Cause Permanent Muscle Twitching?

While vibrators can cause temporary twitching occasionally, it is no different than an eyelid twitch. This mini muscle dance is called 'fasciculation' and is a slight, involuntary muscle contraction. It often happens after tensing the muscles.

While it is not as common vaginally, it can happen from any type of sexual stimulation, whether you use a vibrator or not, and is most likely nothing to be worried about.

It is very similar to getting a muscle twitch in your eye when you read a great deal and have strained the muscles. Overworking any muscle can cause little twitches, and yes, that includes those intimate ones.

So, don't fret; they usually fade away in a couple of days. To speed up the recovery, try pampering yourself with a cozy warm bath. And maybe take a short break from any steamy bedroom sessions.

Will A Vibrator Will Take The Place Of A Partner?

If you have been contemplating getting a sex toy for you or your lover, but you are hesitant that they will like it more than you, then you can rest assured that this is a common concern.

But here's the thing: while some toys can amp up the sensation, nothing can truly compare to the thrill of real, human connection. While some sex toys allow someone to experience increased physical intensity, they can never replace the sheer excitement of intimacy between lovers. That's irreplaceable.

Many couples admit when asked in private that they have sex toy fears centered around worries that they will not be as satisfying as the sex toy. Many wondered, "What if the sex toy outshines me?" But, spoiler alert: the majority quickly discovered that toys are just an added dash of spice!

Concerns Women Have About Vibrators

• 31% are uncertain about the operational aspects of vibrators.
• 26% feel apprehensive about their partners' perceptions regarding incorporating such devices into their intimate moments.
• 20% harbor fears that usage might cause physical harm or discomfort.
• 17% have partners who have explicitly expressed opposition to the idea.
• 6% believe these products surpass their comfort levels with sexual activities.

After using sex toys, most couples realize that not only are they a lot of fun but that the sex toy could never compete with a human lover. In fact, studies show that most couples feel that sex toys only enhance their sex lives rather than create distance.

A vibrator stimulates us sexually more efficiently than any human could because of the speed of stimulation, but the desire in the mind toward another person is far more powerful and exciting than any sexual gadget. Think about it: Have you ever sexually fantasized about your favorite toy? Probably not.

But that steamy memory of a romantic rendezvous with a lover? Oh, absolutely. The bottom line is that no one fantasizes about a vibrator; we fantasize about lovers. Sex toys just cannot compete with our desire for the thrill of genuine human connection.

Are Vibrators Addictive?

A vibrator does not cause you to become addicted to it. If someone uses a vibrator to masturbate and does it excessively, it is not because they are addicted to the vibrator. Instead, they may have a compulsive tendency to masturbate.

For healthy people, it is similar to enjoying wearing a favorite shirt because it looks good and is soft on your skin. You probably wear it a ton. But that doesn't mean you're obsessed with it—it just means you love how it feels. Using a vibrator is similar: it's just another thing you enjoy. Simple as that.

If You Have A Partner, Do You Need A Vibrator?

Think of a vibrator like that candy or cookie we sometimes crave—not essential, but oh-so-delightful! While you don't need a vibrator, they can make things easier, more pleasurable, and creative.

Using toys during intimate moments can improve your connection with your partner or by yourself, but even if you want to connect with someone afar, Bluetooth vibrators allow a partner to control them and/or interact with their sex toys anywhere in the world!

If you want to use a sex toy, but your lover doesn't think you need a sex toy to enhance your sex life, assure them that you don't need a sex toy just like you don't need other creature comforts like candy. It's just like enjoying a sweet treat every now and then. Why not indulge?

Want to see what others are up to in the bedroom?

For single people:

• 46.3% of single women consistently use vibrators for self-pleasure.
• 16.6% of single men do the same.

When it comes to foreplay:

• 40.9% of women use vibrators before sex.
• 40.5% of men use them on themselves or their partners.

During intercourse:

• 37.3% of women use vibrators during penetration.
• 36% of men use them too.

Are Vibrators Only For Masturbation?

While vibrators are great when it comes to masturbation, they are also wonderful products for couples to enhance their connection with one another. When you and your partner dive into this world of playful exploration, it can create a new level of flirtation, pleasure, and intimacy.

Some say if you need sex toys, then you must be doing something wrong and missing a step in the bedroom. Let's debunk that, shall we?

Think of all the little extras in life we adore—like that slice of cheesecake, a feel-good movie, or dancing to your favorite tune. They aren't 'necessary,' but oh boy, do they make life sweeter!

While no one needs sex toys, we do improve the quality of our lives when we add a dash of fun and exploration. Because hey, who doesn't love discovering new ways to bring joy and connection with your partner?

Isn't Buying Vibrators Is Embarrassing?

We certainly agree that many people find buying sex toys embarrassing, which is why purchasing them discreetly from the comfort of your own home is the best way to avoid this.

That's why shopping from your cozy couch is a game-changer. And to sprinkle in some extra peace of mind, our team always promises to wrap your goodies in super-discreet packaging when you order from us!

Furthermore, we will not contact you regarding anything but your order unless you want us to, and we will never sell your information. You don't have to worry about racy catalogs coming to your house or any other such potential embarrassment. Why? Because we genuinely care about you.

Are Vibrators Are Morally Wrong?

Based on whose morals? Healthy people use sex toys all the time, and there's nothing "unusual" about it. If it helps break any misconceptions, we have sex toy orders from every type of person imaginable.

From accountants, ministers, doctors, celebrities, professional athletes to homemakers and college students, using a sex toy doesn't make you weird; it helps provide pleasure, creativity, and adventure to your sex life. So, next time you're curious, remember — it's a healthy and fun part of modern self-care. 

There is nothing that says a vibrator is immoral other than someone's personal opinion, and determining if one is right for you is something that you have to ask yourself, not someone else. After all, it's your body, your rules! 

Isn't Vibration Low-Frequency Heat?

Vibration is not heat; it is motion, which can create friction and, in turn, create heat. Think of vibration as a little dance. It's all about movement, not warmth. Sure, that movement can create some friction, which might make things feel slightly warmer, but the vibration itself? That's not heat.

Imagine sipping a warm cup of tea—it's soothing and can relax your body, right? Similarly, if you put something warm on your genitals, it will help relax you and increase blood flow to the area. However, it does not provide the same kind of thrill and stimulation that the motion of vibration provides. They are two different sensations, both fabulous in their own ways!

Do Vibrators Force Orgasms Unnaturally?

Orgasms are created in the body naturally every time you have one. Your body is what makes an orgasm, not the vibrator. They're all-natural and entirely YOU.

The vibrator simply acts as the stimulus. While tools like vibrators can be fabulous sidekicks—setting the mood and offering that extra spark—it's truly your body that steals the spotlight and delivers that magical moment. Remember, a vibrator may set the stage, but it's your body that delivers the grand finale.

When it comes to the question of 'forcing you to have an orgasm,' well, let's break this down in the simplest way possible: Just like how you might use your fingers to give yourself a little pleasure, a vibrator does the same thing—it's just a bit speedier.

However, such stimulation cannot force you to have an orgasm, and using motion to stimulate the genitals to achieve a sexual release is not unnatural. Taking one's finger and stimulating the clitoris through rubbing is the same concept as a vibrator; it is just that a vibrator can move faster.

It's all about what feels natural and suitable for you. Just think of a vibrator as just another tool in your physical-love toolkit!

Do Vibrators Or Estim Sex Toys Cause Pelvic Floor Weakness?

Vibrators and estim sex toys do not cause pelvic floor weakness. In fact, these buzzy buddies can actually help tone and tighten. They do this by helping strengthen the pelvic floor by encouraging Kegel contractions, which make those muscles stronger.

So next time you reach for your favorite gadget, remember it's not just about pleasure — it's also about strength! 

Do Vibrators Cause Incontinence?

Vibrators do not cause incontinence. Because vibrators help to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, this, in turn, may help to prevent urinary incontinence. This is because stronger pelvic muscles actually keep those unexpected leaks at bay. So, cheers to good vibes and staying dry!

Will My Doctor Will Be Able To Tell I Am Using A Vibrator?

A doctor will not know you have been using a nontoxic vibrator unless you tell them. There is nothing that a vibrator will change concerning your anatomy when you use it properly.

Is Using Sex Toys Dangerous?

Nontoxic sex toys are not dangerous when they are used properly. The truth is that there have been documented health benefits from increased blood flow and libido to the reduction of improving sexual function.

Think of sex toys as your gym equipment—but for pleasure. Just like you wouldn't misuse a treadmill, using these toys the right way can actually boost your well-being. We're talking perks like better blood circulation and a spicier libido.

What Is The Perfect Vibrator?

When it comes to the bedroom, remember that each of us is as unique as our fingerprints. Everyone has their own unique sexual preferences as well as their level of sexual functioning.

That’s why it's important to realize there's no one-size-fits-all vibrator. To say a sex toy is ideal for everyone does not consider these preferences, let alone sexual dysfunction and physical limitations and disabilities. This means that there is no such thing as a "sure thing" vibrator.

So, before you scoop up the latest buzzy gadget, remember that finding the perfect match is all about embracing your unique journey. Finding what is right for you may take some exploration. Just some considerations to keep in mind are:

Vibrator Intensity

How powerful do you want your vibrator to be? Power can make all the difference in the world. Think of it like choosing between a light massage or deep tissue—everyone's preference is unique. Too much or too little can totally change your experience.

It affects the intensity of stimulation and can mean the difference between reaching orgasm and not. Remember, it's all about what feels good for you!

For more information, see our Vibrator Power Ratings Guide.

Vibrator Noise

Is noise a concern? Do you want it to be quiet? Trying to relax and get into the mood can be quickly hampered when you have a noisy vibrator that alerts family or roommates as to what you are doing.

In addition, nothing disrupts your relaxation groove faster than a loud vibrator distracting you as well. For those seeking discretion, opting for a whisper-quiet vibe is your go-to move.

For additional information on this, see our Vibrator Noise Level Ratings Guide.

Vibrator Sizes

How big do you want your vibrator? Using a large vibrator has the advantage of allowing more area to be stimulated and can be more comfortable to handle. Plus, with a longer handle, not only is it easier and comfier to hold, but it also opens up a world of diverse sensations and techniques.

A small vibrator can be more easily hidden and can be used in some cases more easily used during sexual activity in ways that a larger vibrator cannot be. Determining how you want to use your vibrator and how powerful you want it to be can influence how large it should be.

Variations Of Vibration

Do you want a vibrator with multiple stimulation levels, from low to high vibration to pulsations and surges? Do you want it to run programs, or do you want a simple vibrator that will keep a steady vibration? It's your pleasure, your choice. Remember, the key to bliss is finding what works for you.

Power Source

When you're in the market for a new personal gadget, choosing the power source is more crucial than you'd think. So, what's your type: battery-operated, rechargeable, or direct plug-in? Let's break down what each brings to the table.

Batteries can be super handy. They're perfect for those who love to keep their gadgets portable and aren't keen on cords. But remember, your fun lasts only as long as your battery supply does. And constantly buying new ones? Not so wallet or earth-friendly!

Now, if you're all about convenience, say hello to rechargeable devices. They're your trusty companions that are ready to go after juicing up, no extra purchases necessary.

Lastly, there's something charmingly old-school about plug-in gadgets. They're powerful and won't die on you unexpectedly. But, freedom of movement? Not their strong suit, as you're literally on a leash (well, cord).

In a nutshell: it all boils down to what matters most to you—convenience, eco-consciousness, uninterrupted power, or total mobility. Choose what vibes with your lifestyle, and you won't be disappointed!

For more information, please see our guides on Sex Toys & Batteries and Rechargeable Sex Toys.

Stimulation

What part of your body do you want to stimulate, and do you want to stimulate more than one part at a time? Whether you're focusing on just one particular spot or looking to indulge in multiple sensations, there's something for everyone!

From single-action wonders to dual and even triple-action delights, you can find vibrators designed to pamper up to three of your favorite erogenous zones all at once.

Absolutely buzzing with popularity among women today is the bunny vibrator, a cheeky little gadget that knows exactly how to throw a one-two punch of pleasure. Not only does it stimulate your G-spot, but it also gives your clitoris the perfect amount of attention, all at the same time. 

See our Sex Toy Guides for more information, such as: How To Choose A Vibrator or our Rabbit Vibrator Guide.

What Are The Best Vibrators?

When it comes to vibrators, there's no one-size-fits-all magic wand (pun intended!). There are all kinds of reasons why one vibrator may not be as effective as another for someone.

Just like you wouldn't claim there's one perfect pair of shoes that fits everyone's style and size, the same goes for sex toys. Everyone's got their unique preferences and needs, and no pair of shoes or a sex toy will meet everyone's needs.

Just for fun, here are some statistics on what most consumers look for when exploring buying a vibrator:
