Sex toys for women and people with vulvas are simply tools to unlock our pleasure potential and looking after our sexual wellbeing. But without technique, they remain just that: tools. It's time to discover fun and inspiring ways to use an internal vibrator!

Wait, what's the difference between an internal vibrator and a dildo?

It's easy to assume that all penetrative sex toys should look phallic thanks to porn, sex ed, and pop culture skewing our idea of what internal stimulation looks like! However, here's the thing - internal vibrators don't need to look like or be shaped like a penis. Dildos are shaped are often shaped like an erect penis. Internal vibrators are shaped to stimulate different erogenous spots of the vagina. G-spot vibrators, egg-shape vibrators, rabbit vibrators... each is designed with the vaginal anatomy in mind, and come in different sizes.

Here are some of the best internal vibrator tips and techniques...

1. Shallowing technique.

What is it?

This is when you penetrate the vagina very shallowly and opt to use barely-there type thrusts with your vibrator. This can feel like teasing and creates a build-up of tension as you may be tempted to go deeper. You can do this at any point during masturbation with your nternal vibrator.

This could also be a great way to awaken your sexual energy by extending the arousal phase prior to penetrative partner sex.

Why does this feel so good?

By stimulating only the entrance of the vagina, you will create even more arousal of the urethral sponge (found between the pubic bone and vaginal wall) and the perineal sponge (found between the vaginal wall and the rectum). Both of these cushion-like tissues are full of nerve endings and erectile tissue. When they are stimulated, they become swollen with blood compressing the lower part of the vagina, creating a tightening effect.

The activation of these sponges has been equated to a female erection and some sexologists go so as far as advising that this is the true sign that the female body is ready for sex, not lubrication.

There have also been claims that techniques such as shallowing bring on female ejaculation. This is because the urethral sponge, containing the Skene's gland, is known to secrete fluid. This is still such a debated topic, but don’t wait on the science to catch up, this is something you can explore for yourself!

Similar to the hinting technique (where you don’t linger over the vagina or clitoris for too long initially) you are building sensation to eventually lead to a stronger orgasm.

How to try it?

Use your internal vibrator to stimulate the inner labia occasionally circling the entrance of your vagina. Eventually work just the first few inches of the vibrator into the vagina. Use a water-based lubricant on your internal vibrator for more ease. The movements are more like ‘dips’ than in-out thrusts.

Anatomy facts to help

  • Both the urethral and perineal sponges are likely to be connected via nerves to the clitoris. The clitoris is such a powerhouse of pleasure, with a network of over 10000 nerve endings.
  • To stimulate the urethral sponge more intensely, form the come hither gesture with your fingers. 

2. Staying in.

What is it?

Once your body is ready to fully receive penetration, bring some mindfulness into your time with your internal vibrator!

This technique feels a lot more aligned to tantric practices as it requires you to be very present and raises your overall bodily awareness.

Why does it feel good?

According to OMGyes researchers, with this technique the “pleasure is built from the uninterrupted stimulation” when the vibrator “rocks or grinds inside you without ever breaking contact.”

How to try it?

Breath and allow your vagina to greet your vibrator, take your time to insert, with very minimal effort. Notice the sensations in your pelvis when you don’t thrust the vibrator in and out, instead just hold inside. Stay here for a while experimenting with speeds and settings.

Next try squeezing or as it’s known Flexing. Just like practising kegels or holding in a wee, lifting in and up with your pelvic muscles to tighten your vagina around your vibrator. The idea is to aim for minimal movement externally but to activate inner muscles.

With the vibrator inside of you, squeeze and release a few times. Change the length of time you hold, just don’t hold your breath!

3. Change position.

If you’re feeling a little more active, there’s no reason not to switch up your solo sex position with your vibrator. If you like the “doggy” position, it is likely because the angle creates more stimulation for the urethral sponge, mentioned in technique one. In a table-top position try inserting your internal vibrator into your vagina from behind.

The possibilities are really endless. How you orgasm is unique to you and your body, so keep experimenting! Technique is key and don’t let cultural assumptions ruin your exploration.

4. Use lube.

One of best tips for penetration with vibrators is always use lubricant. If inserting a toy into your vagina feels painful or uncomfortable, it might be because of friction. A drop (or more) of lube will make things a lot smoother, and much more pleasurable. Remember silicone vibrators are most compatible with water-based lubricant!

Best internal vibrators for different techniques.

For shallowing just inside. The Billionaire's rounded tip is made for shallowing as it provides a gentle massage around the edge of vaginal entrance.

For a G-spot massage. The tennis ball tip (bear with us) of The Tennis Pro is designed to simulate a come-hither-to motion of the fingers. It is gently flexible to help find the right angle, and provide a sustained pressure to one of the most sensitive vaginal pleasure spots.

For going deep. This vaginal vibrator is the biggest Smile Makers' toy. It's curvy body and bulbous tip follow the anatomical spots of the vagina for a very fulfilling sensation. Top tip, take it reallll slow. This one is all about learning how to use a vaginal vibrator.

For doubling up. Two heads, for twice the satisfaction. The Artist rabbit vibrator stimulate both internally and externally for clitoral embrace like no other. Control each vibrator head individually, so that the internal part goes faster or slower than the part that sits on top of your vulva.
