Frequently Asked Questions
Is it normal to feel nothing the first time I use a vibrator?
Yes, very common. Your body may need a few sessions to adjust to the sensation, especially if you have never used external stimulation before. Try different pressure levels and positions rather than cranking intensity up immediately. Some people respond better to air-pulse technology like the Satisfyer Pro + G-Spot than traditional vibration — it is a different sensation entirely.
Can a vibrator desensitise me permanently?
No. Temporary numbness after extended use is normal and fades within minutes to hours. There is no clinical evidence that vibrator use causes permanent desensitisation. If you notice reduced sensitivity during a session, take a break or switch to a lower setting rather than pushing through.
What size vibrator should a beginner start with?
For anything insertable, look for a diameter around 1.0 to 1.25 inches (2.5 to 3.2 cm) and an insertable length of 5 to 7 inches. Anything wider than 1.25 inches is intermediate territory. Many beginners are better off starting with a small clitoral-only toy or bullet vibrator where size is barely a factor.
Do I need lubricant with a vibrator?
Almost always yes, especially with insertable toys. Even if you produce natural lubrication, a water-based lubricant reduces friction and makes the experience more comfortable from the start. Use water-based lube only with silicone-bodied toys — silicone-based lubricant will degrade the surface over time. Check the product page to confirm material before choosing your lube.
