Sex Toy Guide: Combination Vibrators |
Simply put, combination vibrators do more than the average vibrator. Some adult toys are designed to stimulate the clitoris while others are designed for the G-Spot, but combination vibrators can stimulate both of these erogenous zones simultaneously. This dual action is possible thanks to a clitoral stimulator located on the shaft, a section of rotating beads, and a gyrating or twisting tip. These design features are unique to combination vibrators and are soley responsible for their immense popularity. These toys continue to be among our best selling vibrators. Standard Combination VibratorsWithin the category of combination vibrators it's helpful to identify two subsets: standard and models with advanced features. As described above, a standard combination vibrator will have a clitoral stimulator attached somewhere on the shaft, a section of rotating beads or pearls, and an upper shaft section that either rotates, twists or otherwise gyrates. These features are definitely not standard when it comes to vibrators as a whole, but within the category we're discussing they are par for the course. A typical combination vibrator will have most if not all of the design features mentioned above. The Supreme Indulgence is an example of a toy with all of the typical features. It has a hummingbird-shaped clitoral teaser located on the shaft, a section of rotating beads for vaginal stimulation and a mechanism that gyrates the tip, which allows the user to stimulate their G-Spot. Each of these functions can be turned on, off, up or down thanks to a separate control button for each. The ability to control the functions separately is another feature common to combination vibrators. Not all of them have this feature, but most do. The Ultimate Pleasure is another popular item that falls within the standard category. There are other's, and these examples should get you headed in the right direction. Advanced FeaturesThanks in large part to advancements in vibrator technology, modern vibrators have many more features than were possible even a few years ago. Manufacturer's have discovered that people like options, and that adult toys with added usability are more popular than those without. There are now waterproof combination vibrators available such as the Cliterrific Cup, which has all the features common to the category as well as a shaped tip for clitoral stimulation. The Ch'i Odyssey and Ch'i Jade are other examples of a dual-action vibes with advanced features. They are made from silicone, which is hygienically and structurally superior to other materials because it is easy to disinfect and lasts a long time. They also have unique textured shafts and tip, and in the case of the Ch'i Odyssey - a detached clitoral stimulator. The type of texture found on these two vibrators adds to the experience by providing more sensation than you'll get from a vibe with a smooth surface. Another example of a unique, high quality combination vibrator is the Twist-N-Shake - Sally Seal, which is made by Fun Factory. Like the Ch'i Jade & Odyssey, the Twist-N-Shake is made of soft silicone and has a unique shape with a specific function in mind. The shaft is pointed near the tip and bulges outward as you get closer to the clitoral stimulator, which increases the amount of vaginal stimulation. The key to choosing a combination vibrator is knowing the options and looking for the shape and functionality that appeals to you the most. For example, if you enjoy G-Spot stimulation substantially more than clitoral stimulation but you still want both, you might want to consider a combination vibrator with a large G-Spot shaped tip and a smaller clitoral teaser such as the Strobing Bunny. If you want powerful clitoral stimulation and the G-Spot part doesn't matter as much to you, perhaps a vibe with a larger clitoral stimulator and a standard tip such as the Waterproof Jack Rabbit would be the better choice. Ultimately the choice depends on what kind of stimulation you like, what material you want your vibrator to be made of and what your price range is. If you're just beginning your search or if you've never used a combination vibrator before you might want to try something on the lower end of the price range. That way you can experiment a bit first, get to know your body and what kind of stimulation works best for you, and move to a more expensive or elaborate model from there.
