Turn Ons and Turn Offs: Vibrator Controls
Friday, March 5th, 2010Today we’re going to talk about the “other end” of the vibrator. Or at least in some cases, it’s the other end. But we don’t want to get ahead of ourselves, so we’ll just talk about the “other end” for now. Why does this matter?
That’s an easy one to answer. The control type on a vibrator can often be the difference between a thrilling finish, or outrageous frustration over and over again. If you have a vibrator that isn’t built to match your adult playtime style, you could end up accidentally turning it off, switching the functions, lowering the speed and many other unwanted changes right as you are arriving at that special moment.
Nobody wants that to happen, especially if that moment has been building for a while. Let’s face it, a good orgasm is sometimes hard to bring about, and a simple change in sensations can ruin one fast. So picking a vibrator with the right control type can be the difference between thrills or chills.
First, you have to decide which control type matches your style. Are you an “all over the place” type of player? Then you don’t want controls that are sensitive and can be easily changed with a bump here or there. Are you a “pressure” player? You might want to avoid the simple on/off control that can be pressed in a push, which could definitely spoil the moment.
Slide controls, easy on/off, elevated controls and some dial controls are best suited to “slow and steady” players who can control their movements (to a point). For the more intense players, locking controls or a firmer control pad are a much better fit.
Some companies, like Lelo and Fun Factory have developed ergonomic controls that are perfect for push and play happiness!
But just remember, if you’ve found something else that is so sexy you just can’t resist getting it, check the controls to make sure it’s a good fit for you. Sometimes it’s a simple press that is the difference between a turn on and a turn off. We mean that literally AND figuratively. And you came here for a turn on, right? Good luck, and we hope you find the vibrator that rocks your world.
