What are the most important features to look for when you shop for a vibrator? In a recent discussion forum discussing the topic of vibrators, participants were asked that question. Most of the respondents stated that quality construction, multi-speed vibrations, quiet motor, and being made of body safe materials. Many of the participants had experiences with cheaper vibrators that fell a part after a few users or had vibrators that stopped turning on. There also was a concern about buying vibrators that were made of jelly because the jelly vibrators contain phthalates, which is a plasticizer used to soften the material. Phthalates have been tested on lab rats and shown negative affects on certain organs. However, there is no evidence of harm to humans. However, with the potential negative health effects, participants rather go with a silicone vibe, which is phthalate free, or other material that does not contain phthalates. In this article, we will address the features that were pointed out by the respondents and provide some product recommendations to help potential buyers on their quest for finding the ultimate pleasure tool...the vibrator.

One of the most important features that vibrator shoppers look for is power. Whether you are shopping at a store front or
online, how are you going to know if a vibrator is powerful or not? Some brick and mortar stores may not have product testers that can show you how powerful a product is. If you shop online, many of the product descriptions may say it is powerful, but then to your disappointment, the vibrator ends up being as powerful as the vibrate setting on your phone. Here are some things to look for. When you shop online, look for web sites that have a power listing measurement. To make sure that the web site is not fluffing up the product, look at other vibrators on the web site to compare the ratings to see if all other vibrators are rated as powerful. Read customer reviews to see what kind of feedback the product is getting. In addition, many of the electric vibrators and vibrators that are operated by C Size batteries tend to produce more power. However, this is not to say that AA and AAA operated vibrators do not produce a good punch.  That is why it is most important to read consumer reviews and look at the power rating on the web site.

Another important feature that respondents stated was important when he or she shops for a vibrator is one that has multiple-speeds of vibrations. Having a multi-speed vibrator gives the user the ability to choose the level of intensity that feels best for him or her. In addition, if the vibrator has only one speed, the set speed may be too strong or too weak for the user's liking.  There are also a number of vibrators on the market that not only has multiple speeds of vibration, but also various functions that offers not only constant vibration, but tapping, and escalation modes that users may find to be more stimulating.  Plus, this gives the users more variation of sensations during use. 

Participants in the discussion also stated the importance of a product that is made of high quality construction which includes a reliable motor, body safe materials, and durablity. Vibrators are typically made of jelly, hard plastic, or silicone. Silicone vibrators are phthalate free and do not contain latex. Silicone vibrators are also non porous and therefore, do not trap bacteria. Hard plastic vibrators do not contain latex or phthalates and are easier to keep clean. Users who prefer a softer vibrator that does not contain phthlates will opt for a silicone vibrator.   When it comes to reliable motors, many of the rechargeable vibrators offer long lasting, reliable motors.  However, there are a number of battery powered vibrators from companies such as Fun Factory, Vibratex, and LELO that are known for their high quality construction.  It is important to also read product reviews to see if there has been numerous experiences of product issues with the motor.

A vibrator with a quiet motor was also another important feature that was mentioned in the discussion. There are a number of vibrators on the market that offer a quiet motor, which allows for more privacy and less distraction on the user. While some of the most powerful vibrators may have a louder motor, there are a number of powerful, quiet vibrators that users can choose from. Mutli-speed vibrators are also good for users who prefer a less noisy vibe, as he or she can choose from various speeds of vibration and keep the vibrator at a lower setting to keep the noise down. Some web sites will offer a noise rating on each of the vibrators to help the buyers during their purchase who prefer a quiet vibrator.

Based on the preferences discussed, here are some examples of multi-speed vibrators that are made of high quality, body safe materials, and offer a powerful, yet quieter, motor.
