10 Reasons to Love Classic Vibrators - Sh! Women's Store

Many women & vulva-owners choose a Classic Vibrator as their first toy. A classic vibe is easy to use, and its long, slim shape is closely associated with the word “vibrator”. It’s a successful design that has been loved and lusted over for a long time...

Here are our Top 10 reasons to love classic vibrators.

1. Classic vibrators have a simple design

The classic vibrator design is straight, smooth and seamless. Tips are often tapered, which can be especially helpful if you experience issues with vaginal penetration.

Newer designs can be somewhat fancier, with patterns, ribbing and diamante details.

2. Classic vibrators deliver strong stimulation

Classic vibrators look like they should be used for penetration, but actually, many women enjoy them solely for clitoral stimulation.

Many classic vibes are made from hard plastic sex toy material, which transmits vibrations more intensely than any other material. This extra power can be enough to push you over the edge and into orgasmic bliss.

If you need a lot of stimulation to have an orgasm, a hard-plastic classic vibrator would be a good choice.

3. Classic vibes are affordable and easy to run

Unlike smaller egg or bullet vibrators, which often require tiny watch batteries, most battery-driven classic vibes run on regular AA or AAA batteries. You can easily pick up these batteries during your weekly shop, and inserting them into the vibe doesn't require the dexterity of a magician.

4. Classic vibrators are body-safe & easy to clean

Many other sex toy retailers carry classic vibrators in Jelly & PVC material. Toys made from porous materials like Jelly & PVC will harbour germs and could cause unpleasant bacterial infections. So, if you browse other pleasure product sites, this is something to be aware of.

Our classic vibe selection features only body-safe toys, mostly in hard plastic and silicone. These are non-porous materials, which means they are non-absorbent. Lube & bodily fluids are washed straight off with an antibacterial sex toy cleaner or soap & warm water.

5. Classic vibes offer deeper stimulation

Like deep penetration? You’re not alone! Some women & vulva-owners find that their cervix is sensitive and responsive to stimulation, along with the outer third of the vagina. A classic vibrator can easily stimulate these areas simultaneously, especially if you’re using a toy with a longer shaft.

Top tip: Squeeze your PC muscle around the shaft whilst wiggling the vibrator for extra sensations.

6. Long vibrators are great for those with mobility restrictions

The longer shaft of classic vibrators makes them easy to hold and manoeuvre. This is especially good for people with mobility restrictions. Choosing a vibe with a long handle and a softer shaft can make it easier to stimulate hard-to-reach places.

Toys made from silicone feel softer and warmer. They are generally more flexible than similar toys made from hard plastic. A softer material can be beneficial if you find hard plastic too harsh on your delicate areas.

7. There's less to go wrong with a classic vibe

Look after your classic vibe well, and you’ll have many orgasmic experiences to look forward to.

Because classic vibes are sleek and simple in design, there’s often less to go wrong or break. However, cheaper plastic can crack if dropped onto a hard floor, so make sure your toy doesn’t get flung out of bed with wild abandon after playtime has ended! The more expensive toys made from ABS plastic are sturdier and unlikely to break if dropped.

8. Men can enjoy classic vibrators too!

Men and penis-owners can enjoy classic vibes too. Here are our top 3 tips for penis-play with a classic vibe:

  1. Slowly run the vibrator over the raphe (the long hump of skin on the back of the penis).
  2. Hold the vibe against the frenulum (the underside of the penis right at the base of the ‘head’).
  3. Hold the vibe against the outside of your cheek during fellatio for a buzzin' blow job.

A classic vibe can also be held against the perineum (the super-sensitive strip of skin that runs between balls and bum) for sensational buzzing that resonates through to the prostate.

Never use a classic vibe for insertion during anal play, as this could end badly. (As in an unfortunate trip to A&E.) It is always best to use a specially designed anal vibrator for backdoor play.

9. Classic vibrators can bring on strong orgasms

An intense focused vibration can help bring on orgasm from the most stubborn of clits. And, even if you are orgasmic at the drop of a hat, they can help you discover new ways to experience pleasure!

If you normally dive right in, try swirling your vibe around the clit rather than applying the tapered end directly to the hyper-sensitive clitoral tip. Experiment with pressure and motion, and enjoy discovering new pleasure points. Who knows, it might just lead to a sensational, earth-shattering climax!

10. Classic vibes make great gifts

A classic vibrator is a fun gift for a good friend. Easy to use and reliable for pleasure, you can't go wrong. We've had many Brides-to-Be who have gifted their bridesmaids a buzzy goodie... #TopTip!
