Ultimately choosing a device is up to you and your individual needs, follow your intuition, and the advice of your practitioner if you are seeing one.
Otherwise we are happy to give a few suggestions in hope it helps make the decision a bit easier. Check in here now and again as we will make changes when we see fit and more products come on board. But rest assured the items we have chosen to stock are of quality and chosen specifically for supporting women’s health, sexual pleasure and pelvic health. Just remember to be mindful when taking on a recommendation from a friend as, what is good for one person may not feel right for another.
There is no wrong way to do this. Keep an open mind as it can sometimes take a bit of practice trying something new, whether you are a newbie altogether or adding a new item to your bag of tricks. If using a vibe is something you really want to try and you didn’t find it all that mind blowing the first time, we encourage you to try a few times before you make up your mind either way. It may sometimes take a little time to release all those inhibitions, that women have sometimes gathered through a life of self pleasure being considered a little bit taboo.
Things to consider
- Size and comfort
- Shape
- Type of stimulation (internal or external or both)- G-spot, Clitoral, hands free, with a partner, gentle, powerful.
- Power and modes, whether you are particularly sensitive or take longer to reach climax.
- Quality of device (we have a full range and all are good quality but there is obviously a luxury end and all devices are body safe)
- Your unique needs, if you experience pain and where
- What will the device be used for (pleasure, rehabilitation etc)
First timers to the Vibe
- We suggest something smaller in girth/size and less intimidating with a smooth surface to start with. And we have had great feedback from a number first time users that a palm held device is a comfortable start. These are usually more focused on clitoral and labial stimulation without penetration. Bullet vibes can also be helpful it you would prefer to be a little more hands free. Especially if touch can be uncomfortable for you. However if we can help further, please feel free to email us. Happy to help. Only women will be answering your email and your privacy is of utmost importance to us. Have a look at Mimi, Yoru, Tenga White, Tenga Black, Vera Bullet, Shell, Archer. Be sure to use a good intimate gel. We have just the one in store. Remember that any device we sell can be used without activating vibration, until you are ready for that step.
Vaginismus and Painful Penetration
- We encourage you take your step into using devices with gentle and slow consideration and we suggest with the advice and support of your pelvic health practitioner. It may be helpful at the right time in your treatment and healing to try using a toy or device to activate and relax the nervous system and pelvic muscles, allowing your body to release. We understand however that the physical assistance of a device would be best accompanied by other psychological, spiritual and counsel support from your care providers. It also may be best to consider our palm held, clitoral devices that only allow shallow penetration if anything at all. We do have one small bullet device that is smaller than a tampon and may be a comfortable option. The Archer is also a possibility if some penetration is possible as it can be used externally too. Some of the microphone type devices are often useful for over all muscle relaxation and external work and may be a good step to start. They can be used for massaging the buttocks, perineum, abdomen and thighs. Mimi, Yoru, Tenga White, Tenga Black, Vera Bullet, Shell, Archer, Microphones. (there are others if you take a look) It is important to remind you not to ever try anything you are not ready for. Managing a condition needs to be gentle, respectful, loving and forgiving. There is no wrong way to have sex, as long as you are consenting and taking care of yourself. So have patience, your journey will evolve we promise.
Pelvis and Pelvic Floor Imbalances
- External massage can be given with your more wand like devices. Such things like the Magic Wand and the Microphones. The palm held devices can also be useful for body massage.Mimi, Yoru.
- Internal massage, depending on where you are up to in your pelvic floor treatments, can be done with a number of devices. The Archer devices are bendy and don’t apply unnecessary firm pressure. They have powerful vibration but can be moved to the side area of pelvic floor musculature with general ease, providing it is comfortable for your condition. It may be that the stimulation helps your body and nervous system to wake up and find relaxation afterwards, helping to tone and train. Please seek assistance from a trained professional for internal massage to avoid the bladder and bowel areas if needed.
- Myofascial trigger point release. Depending again on where you are up to in your pelvic floor treatment and what sized device is comfortable for you. The Archer and Archer II can be a good gentle approach to trigger point work. However they do only allow gentle pressure with or without vibration. The We-Vibe Rave is slightly bigger in diameter but is a firmer and more angled approach for trigger work. It can be used with and without vibration settings activated. However it may not be suitable for every body shape. We will have a few more products in that will be better suited for trigger work soon.
Vulvodynia
- Our YES Intimate Gel and Olive and Bee Cream will be welcomed tools for Vulvodynia. Depending on your unique experience, the palm held devices may the better option to start. They are soft, with smooth surface and gentle edges, easy to use and focus on clitoral stimulation. They are unassuming and discrete and may be helpful with any blocks around sexual conditions or stressors, making them the most comfortable choice. Mimi, Yoru, Shell.
Couple Fun
- Most of our couple devices can be used between same sex couples and heterosexual couples. We wanted to have some options that were flexible for that reason. Almost any device can be turned into fun with a partner. The We-Vibe Sync, the Harper, the Tenga, the Bullets, with remote, can all ideal for couples. The We-Vibe Sync is actually designed with the couple in mind Like the Rings (but of course in a different way) can be used during intercourse…or with the App, can be activated from anywhere in the world. Well suited to relationships managing distance.
Solo
- We have a number of devices suitable for solo self care. The palm held devices are a good start. Mimi, Yoru, Shell. The We-Vibe Rave is well suited to solo g-spot massage if the size is suitable for your body. The small Tenga, allows your own hands and fingers to be more involved which may be well suited to women managing a sensitive condition, making it easy to use, and remove stimulation.
