More than half of all women use a vibrator, but like the female orgasm itself, a lot of mystery surrounds these buzzy sex toys. Are vibrators only good for masturbation, or can they also make coupled sex more satisfying? Who invented the Rabbit vibe, and why is it shaped like a cute little animal? And is it true that relying on a vibrator too often can make your vagina permanently numb?
We took these and other pressing questions to the experts and compiled this list of the 11 most important and fascinating vibrator facts every woman needs to know.
Physician George Taylor gets credit for the invention; his original circa-1869 device was designed to relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety in women, then known collectively as the medical condition "hysteria," sexologist Carol Queen, PhD, curator of the Good Vibrations Antique Vibrator Museum , tells Health .
"Hysteria was treated by vulval or clitoral massage and later vibration, which would bring women 'to the point of hysterical paroxysms of relief,'" she says. By the turn of the century, vibrators were made available to consumers. In the early 1900s, you could even find them in the Sears, Roebuck & Co. catalog.
In 1968, the Hitachi Magic Wand, marketed as a "personal massager," hit store shelves. That same year, New York-based artist Betty Dobson used the wand in a sexually explicit exhibition. In 1975, she brought the device to workshops where she taught women how to masturbate. The Hitachi folks wasn't thrilled about that, so now it's sold without any company branding.
The sex toy Sex and the City made famous was invented by Vibratex in 1984. The Japan-based company opted for the rabbit shape to get around a rule prohibiting manufacturers from making vibrators. It was first sold stateside in 1993 at Babeland in Seattle.
More than half of the female population uses a vibrator—but why? "They're reliable and they never tire, as long as you have a charging cord or fresh batteries," sexologist Megan Stubbs tells Health . The other thing is, only 18% of women orgasm from penetration alone, research shows. A vibrator offers the clitoral stimulation that's necessary for most women to climax.
Vibrators "act as power tools for intense orgasms," Jenni Skyler, PhD, certified sex therapist, sexologist, and licensed marriage and family therapist for sex toy site AdamEve.com , tells Health . "Especially for busy, tired, stressed, or lower-libido women, a vibrator kicks arousal into gear way faster than most any other means."
It's not just single ladies treating themselves to battery-powered Os. A survey by Adam & Eve found that 50% of married women use vibrators. Meanwhile, just 29% of single women do , according to a study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine .
Those numbers may sound surprising, but remember: "The ranks of unmarried women include those who haven't had sex at all," says Queen. So vibrators may not even be on the radar of less experienced women. Otherwise, "married women may use a vibrator to shrink the 'orgasm gap': the fact that during partner sex, men tend to climax more often than women do," says Queen.
According to that same Journal of Sexual Medicine study: 80% of women and 91% of men who had used a vibrator at some point copped to enjoying it with a partner. "Vibrators are a fun addition to erotic play," says Queen. "They can be a creative 'let's switch it up' rut-buster, or they can help women come when partner sex doesn't." And FYI, vibration feels good to men, too.
Vibrator-induced numbness, however, is pretty rare—and it's not permanent . Just 11% of women reported experiencing "occasional numbness" from vibrator use , according to the Journal of Sexual Medicine data, but only 3% felt it frequently.
If you experience it, try adjusting the settings or changing the angle or position of your vibrator and see if that gets rid of the pins and needles. Or just take a break and let your body reset, Sherry Ross, ob-gyn and author of She-Ology , previous told Health .
There's really no danger in "overusing" a vibrator, and in fact women who regularly enjoy time with a buzzy device are way more likely to have had an ob-gyn checkup during the past year and to have self-examined their lady parts during the previous month, the study data found. Regular gynecological exams and self-checks are important aspects of maintaining optimum sexual health.
Let's say you're shopping for a new vibrator in a store and you come across one you think you like. How are you going to know if it offers the right kind of stimulation for your pleasure? Here's a workaround that won't get you arrested. "The best way to test a vibrator in public is to touch it to the tip of your nose," suggests Stubbs. "The high concentration of nerve endings will give you a good idea of how it will feel on your sensitive areas."
When you're shopping for a vibe, opt for silicone over any other material. "It's easy to clean and not a permeable material," advises Queen. Permeable or porous materials (like jelly vibes) can collect dirt and bacteria, "which can then be transferred to the vagina and create an imbalance or even an infection," warns Skyler.
Whatever material yours is made from, make sure you clean it regularly to cut down on the potential for infection. After each use, "use soap and water or anti-bacterial sprays," recommends Skyler. And here's something amazing: a silicone vibrator can even go in the dishwasher.
Is your vibe broken or past its prime? No matter what it's made of, just trash it. While most vibrator materials are recyclable, says Queen, "most municipalities in North America will not recycle vibrators because they are considered a biohazard," explains Skyler. "And for most sex stores, it tends to cost more to recycle old toys than just dump it and make a new one." Kudos for wanting to be sustainable, but you're better off channeling those eco-friendly aspirations into another area of your life.

She has nearly two decades of professional experience writing, reporting, and editing lifestyle content for a variety of digital and print consumer-facing publications including Parents, Shape, Astrology.com, and more. She is currently based in Los Angeles and completing her first title with Artisan Books to be published in early 2023.
Living through a global pandemic has inspired many to take better care of ourselves, whether it's finally downloading that meditation app or starting a daily lunchtime walk routine. And we think it's no coincidence that vibrator sales have also soared since March 2020. After all, sex, be it partnered or solo is truly an act of self-care — one that can be made even more playful and exciting with the help of a trusty vibrator.
"Vibrators can help vulva-owners understand their own 'pleasure map' and explore their erotic energy," says Alexandra Fine, CEO and co-founder of Dame Products . "And more pleasure means better sleep, less stress, and overall improved well-being."
Shannon Chavez, Psy.D., a psychologist and sex therapist in Los Angeles , adds that incorporating the buzzing sex toy into your routine can serve to enhance your body's response to all types of touch and sensation.
"Using a vibrator gives you the opportunity to prime your body for other sexual experiences by getting nerve endings firing, and it enhances blood flow circulation," she notes. In short, she sees it as a sexual health device, pointing out that just as we see massage as self-care, so too is using a vibe — not just on your genitals but your whole body.
Here's what you need to know to get the most bliss out of your vibrator, depending on which type you have and general must-knows, according to experts.
Although we tend to think of certain body parts as go-tos for sexual pleasure — you know, your nipples, your clitoris, maybe also your neck — the whole body is wired for pleasure, meaning there are all different, unexpected erogenous zones, says Chavez.
"Some people feel the back of their knees as an erogenous area," she says. "Their eyelids, their ears, also the belly — it's such an important, sensitive area where we tend to hold a lot of tension — and the inner thighs, inner arms." Basically, any spot you'd identify as sensitive might be one to use your vibrator on, which in turn, heightens overall stimulation.
There's a misconception that cranking a sex toy up to the highest intensity setting will bring even more pleasure, but that's not necessarily the case — especially on more sensitive areas, says Chavez.
For that reason, she recommends that beginners, or even more experienced vibrator users, trying out a new toy start on the lowest setting and use light pressure. Then, by stimulating yourself lightly, you can slowly awaken erogenous areas and avoid any pain, discomfort, tension, or desensitization that could be brought on by diving into full-throttle mode. "You want to warm up your tissue, so you're comfortable and relaxed," she says.
And because most vibrators offer not only various intensity levels but upwards of seven or eight vibrational patterns — including anything from a steady buzz to pulsing or crescendoing — Chavez recommends starting with light intensity and finding which pattern you like the best before trying a more powerful buzz.
All of the experts we spoke with stressed the importance of using lubricant with any vibrator. "It can heighten sensation, if it's an arousal gel, like Omax O-Shot CBD Arousal Oil , or simply help the device glide and move with more ease," says Chavez. Whatever lube you use, make sure it is a gentle, water-based product, which will help maintain the integrity of your vibe and keep UTIs, bacterial vaginosis, or yeast infections at bay.
While certain vibrators are meant for exclusive external versus internal use (like bullets and wands), you can't really go "wrong" by getting creative — especially when it comes to how you're holding a vibrator or moving your own body. For instance, Chavez suggests holding the toy with your non-dominant hand for a sensation that's different from using your dominant hand. Or experiment with positioning and rotating your hips in different motions.
Bullet vibes are small, generally handle-free, and designed primarily for external clitoral stimulation. "Because they're lighter than a larger vibrator, you have more mobility," says Chavez. "They're more comfortable to use. And because they're so small and discreet and powerful, you can try them with clothes on."
And whenever you're jet-setting again, they're the perfect device to pack for a sexy getaway. "They're great for travel and also for pairing with other toys, like harnesses and dildos," adds Fine.
A couple of techniques to try: Push your legs together to play with the tension and contractions in your pelvic area while using the device, suggests Chavez. "Given a bullet vibe's small size, you can squeeze around it or contract around it or push your hips back and forth," she says. "You can also use it for clitoral stimulation during partnered sex, say, while in a doggy style position."
It's no wonder there are a wide variety of vibrators designed to hit the G-spot, which gets about as much buzz as it does eyebrow raises from skeptics. "It's really more like a G-area," explains Amy Baldwin, sex educator, sex and relationship coach, and co-host of the Shameless Sex Podcast . "Its size and location is different for everyone." Baldwin explains that the G-spot is located about half a finger's length inside the vaginal canal, up under the pubic bone on the wall behind your belly button — which is why G-spot vibrators usually have a curve at the end.
"The G-spot responds more to pressure as opposed to vibrations alone, so it's helpful to move the vibrator in a massaging come-hither motion," says Baldwin. Not only will the G-spot respond to this motion, but so will surrounding areas, as there are a bundle of nerve endings in that first inch of the vaginal canal.
Featuring a shaft and an extra "rabbit head" feature on the side of the device, a rabbit vibe truly gives you the best of both worlds: internal and external stimulation, explains Casey Tanner, certified sex therapist and expert for LELO . "While they can certainly be used during partnered sex, rabbit vibes are designed to mirror the sensations of partnered play during masturbation," she notes.
Chavez recommends experimenting with positioning when using a rabbit-style vibe, as you'll want the rabbit head to come in contact with your clitoris while achieving the right amount of depth and angle with the shaft portion. "Straddle a pillow or surface where you can hold the device and practice different movements with your hips to see if you can come into contact with spots that feel good," she advises.
Both the rabbit head and the shaft will offer their own set of vibrational patterns to try, as well. And Chavez notes that finding the combo you like the most could lead to a blended orgasm — the result of stimulating more than one erogenous zone at once.
The classic vibe is shaped more like a plastic, pointed cylinder than a realistic-looking shaft and generally features one vibrational pattern and a dial that allows for graduated intensity. A major benefit: "They're not as thick as a phallic-shaped device, so they may be more comfortable for internal stimulation, especially if you have any vaginal pain or tightness," says Chavez.
While straightforward penetration is an option, she recommends using it like a joystick — moving it in a circular motion or twisting it around. You can also use it externally to stimulate the clitoris. One of the best techniques for this type of model: placing it inside the inner labia and gliding and sliding against it (think a dry humping motion). "You're not only going to access the clitoris but the perineum, a fleshy patch between the vaginal opening and anus that has a lot of nerve endings," says Chavez.
The wand has come a long way since it was initially marketed as a corded body massager with two intensity settings: OMG and OMFG. Most models feature a sizeable handle and top portion shaped like the foam cover of an old-school microphone. "That large head covers more surface area of your clitoral area and vulva than other models," notes Chavez. "That's why it's been such a game-changer for orgasms. The power of the device, in general, is what can evoke an orgasm for a lot of women."
Meant for external use only, wand vibes — some of which are corded, while others are rechargeable or battery-operated — are generally known for packing a lot of powerful punch. For that reason, this is one Chavez emphasizes is best used at its lowest setting to start. Then you can find what level and vibrational pattern works best for you. Newer models are programmable, so you can remember which setting you liked best. Others will respond to the amount of pressure you put on them, dialing up the intensity autonomously, so you don't have to push any buttons.
