The conversation around female pleasure has thankfully undergone a huge, positive transformation in recent years, and in turn, so has the talk surrounding sex toys for women.

We’ve come a long way from the misguided belief that women don’t have sex drives, and now women can find the best sex toys with the click of a button. 

Vibrators got their start when doctors prescribed steam and water powered sex machines as solutions to “hysteria”,  irritability, and sleeplessness.

Classic Vibrators

Classic vibrators have a straight, slim, elegant shape and come in a range of tasteful colours and textures (smooth, textured or ribbed).  

These are designed for inserting inside you (but still feed great against your clit). Usually around 4-8 inches long, this is Goldilocks’ choice (not too big, not too small, just right!).  

Traditional vibrators are very easy to use, with controls at the base and different settings to keep things interesting. These are a masterful combination of aesthetics and engineering with a hard plastic shell that intensifies its powerful vibrations.
