Clitoral Vibrators

We were surprised (and miffed!) when we found that this is one of the most commonly asked questions on the interweb. But, we're always happy to educate and spread the good word, so here goes:

The clitoris is a crucial body part for women and people assigned female at birth. It develops from the same structures in the human embryo as the penis, but the clitoris has a single purpose - to give pleasure! The entire vulva is an erogenous zone - the clitoral glans (the external nub) is the most sensitive . The majority of the clitoris actually lies inside, with clitoral legs that extend up inside the body, behind the inner lips. The most important thing to know about the clitoris is that it can deliver intense sexual pleasure!

The tip of the clitoris is located at the junction of the inner labia lips, directly above the urethra, where it hides under its protective hood. A small clitoral tip may not be instantly visible and can be tricky to find if you don't know what you are looking for - we recommend grabbing a mirror and taking a peek. You might not know that the clit is larger than the tiny tip you can see in the mirror. A big part of the majestic clitoris lays inside, beneath the soft folds of the vulva.

Clitoral stimulation is the term most commonly used for the activity of pleasuring the clit, and it's VITAL for most women & vulva-owner's pleasure! Clit stimulation can take many forms. Stroking, touching, tapping, rubbing, grinding, licking and sucking, playing with clit-pleasing sex toys or using clitoral-stimulating arousal gels & creams and much more...

Clits come in different sizes, and all of them are perfectly normal. The size of your clitoris doesn't effect your ability to orgasm, but a big clit can make it easier to find and stimulate. An orgasm depends upon arousal, stimulation and the ability to let go - not always easy! Having an orgasm can be tricky. Our best advice is to invest time in getting to know your body. If you (or your partner) want to learn how to have orgasms, our BECOMING ORGASMIC course is for you.

For most women & vulva-owners, the answer to this question is a resounding YES! As the only organ in the human body solely dedicated to sexual pleasure and the epicentre of most women’s orgasmic world, the clitoris should never be undervalued or overlooked. Around 75% of women & vulva-owners need clitoral stimulation to orgasm. This means most of us need to have our magic beans stroked or rubbed just the right way for a length of time (up to an hour is perfectly normal), or a climax isn't happening.
