Whether you use them alone for self-gratification or as part of sex with a partner, sex toys are a great way to spice up your sex life and get things nice and steamy beneath the sheets.
For anyone looking to make the most of these pleasurable gadgets, the problem is choosing the right one. Both dildos and a vibrator can lead to great sex, but which one is right for you?
Read our pros and cons of each to help you find your perfect bedroom partner.
What is the difference between a dildo and vibrator?
The difference between a dildo and vibrator are fairly simple: a dildo is a phallic shaped sex toy used for penetration of the vagina or anus. A dildo is usually made of a soft and pliable material that does not have a motor or multiple settings.
Vibrators on the other hand can come in several shapes and sizes and offer the added bonus of vibrating for increased stimulation. Let’s take a closer look at the vibrator:
What is a vibrator?
Vibrators offer a variety of benefits and features that help to physically stimulate and sexually arouse the user. To begin with, the pulsating or vibrating function can offer deep stimulation on any spot it is used.
There’s a great variety of vibrators available on the market too, from smaller bullet options, which fit conveniently into handbags, to rabbit vibrator toys which have additional surfaces designed to provide direct clitoral stimulation on the outside whilst also stimulating within.
Vibrators also offer greater control to those using them as often they have variable speed settings or functions which allow you to adjust the toy to suit your current mood and needs. Durex’s range of luxury sex toys are made to be incredibly quiet so as not to affect the mood.
What is a dildo?
A dildo is used to encourage sexual arousal but is not battery operated. This means that it does not pulsate, vibrate or move in any way – leaving it up to the user to hit the pleasurable spots.
Dildos are good for people who want to experience pleasure in the bedroom or want deeper penetration which they are in control of. The fact that they lack some of the extra features of vibrators can make them more difficult to experience orgasm for some people.
Available in different sizes and made from different materials to guarantee comfort, they are a handy sex toy to have around but tend to lose out to the extra functions of vibrators when it comes to choosing the most advantageous.
