Selecting Vibrator Size & Length When Ordering Online.

Ordering sex toys online is a convenient, discreet and economic way of shopping for your collection, but it is sometimes hard to gauge what size will best suit your needs. When it comes to size, establishing the perfect measurements before you order is the best way to ensure you receive the optimal amount of pleasure from your toy once it arrives. After all, ordering vibrators online that are too small is sure to lead to disappointment. Conversely, ordering a vibe that end up being too large is likely be more uncomfortable than pleasurable.

When you are considering what toy size will best suit your needs, there are a few simple things to consider in order make the best possible choice. The guide below will provide you with some insights into making sure you choose the vibrator size that is the best fit for you.

Test Your Size

If you wish to experience amazing internal vibrations, pay special attention to the length and the width of the toys you are selecting from.

A simple way to figure out the best width for your new toy is to insert as many fingers as is comfortable from one side to the other, then measure the width of those fingers from end to end. This will give you the width that fits you best.

Vibrator length is a little more difficult to measure but is worth pursuing in order to ensure the size you select provides the end result you are looking for. If you don’t yet own any sex toys, you can measure how long you want your vibe to be by inserting a vegetable such as a carrot or cucumber to the depth that is comfortable. In addition to thoroughly washing the vegetable first it is advised that you use a condom and some lubricant for optimal hygiene and safety. Your partner may even wish to get in on the measuring action for little bit of kinky foreplay.

Diameter Vs Circumference

You will notice that vibrator sizes can be compared using several terms including width, diameter, girth and circumference. Make sure you understand the difference between all of these terms. If you get these measurements mixed up, you may end up with a much smaller or larger toy than you anticipated. The diameter of a vibrator is referred to as the ‘width’ of the toy, usually measured at the largest insertable point. The circumference, or the ‘girth’ of the is the circular measurement taken around the largest insertable point. The circumference or ‘girth’ of any cylindrical toy is proportionate to the width of the toy, so if you have measured your ideal width using the finger test, then you can easily work out the width of any toy even if only the ‘girth or circumference is mentioned. To calculate a vibe’s width when only circumference or ‘girth’ is given simply divide the given measurement by 3.14.

Insertable Vs Total Vibrator Length

If you’re considering purchasing a rabbit or a realistic vibe, it’s important to understand the difference between overall length and insertable length. The insertable length of the vibe is the actual length that you are able to insert internally. In some cases, the insertable vibrator length may be quite a bit less than the overall toy length due to other attachments such as clitoral stimulators, testicles, handles and flared bases. Make sure the measurement given for insertable length matches the measurement you have taken on yourself.

The Choice Is Yours

While vibrator size is a very personal choice, it may also help to understand the location of some of the body’s internal erogenous zones. The G spot in a woman and the prostate in a man are usually located 2.5-3″ (6.3-7.7cm) inside from the beginning of the entrance. While some people may prefer a deeper stimulation, vibrations tend to be most effective on these particular erogenous zones. Remember that bigger is not always better – ordering vibrators online that are too long or too wide can be uncomfortable or painful. As a general rule, even the larger insertable vibes are between 5″/12.7cm and 7″/18cm long at the most.

While finding the perfect vibrator size for yourself and/or your lover is going to be based on your personal preferences, having an idea of how you wish to use your toy will help you better determine what size you are best suited to. Think about all the different erogenous zones you would like to target, and whether any of these zones are internal. If you are after internal stimulation, the length will be a much more important factor compared to if you just want a toy to please your external erogenous zones. If internal pleasures, either vaginal or anal, are on your wish list, you may wish to start with a smaller size at first, knowing that you can always enjoy an upgrade to a larger size later on.
If you’re new to ordering vibrators, take the time to select the best vibe size to suit your needs before you order it online, your new toy is sure to bring you hours of enjoyment.
