By yourself

Mini vibrators are a great way to get started with toys if you’re new to self-love. They are designed to engage the clitoris and to give you orgasms. Using toys by yourself can be a good first step before introducing them to a partner. They help you explore your body and figure out exactly what you like.

When you’re delving into masturbation, remember that it is a healthy part of human sexuality. These vibes are tools to help you get to know yourself. Don’t rush. Put on some soothing music, take a bath, and devote some time to your mini vibrator. Self-love is a cornerstone of self-care and we should be proud of that.

With a partner

Mini vibrators are also a fun way to explore with your partner. What makes mini vibrators extra special is that they aren’t penis-like or phallic in any way so they don’t come off as aggressive. When you’re new to sex toys, this can be a big selling point. Mini vibrators come in all shapes and sizes. Review the types we listed above and decide which one might be right for you. We recommend a bullet vibrator for newbies.

The thing is, 80-95 percent of women and clit-owners need clitoral stimulation in order to have orgasms. And we just don’t get that from penetrative sex. Increasing your knowledge may help bridge the knowledge gap so that your partner can get on board with sex toys.

Advanced and creative tips for mini vibrators

Now, if you’re reading this and thinking: “I am NOT afraid of using toys. Give me the more advanced stuff!” Well, we have some ideas for that too!

Mini vibrators are not just beginner toys. They can be used in all kinds of fun and erotic play. Try using your mini vibrator for edging, wherein you bring yourself to the point of almost-orgasm, only to stop and simmer down. Then you begin again. You can also grab a panty vibrator and use it in public to spice up a casual evening. There are no limits to these toys if you use your imagination.
