The dual rabbit vibrator.

A dual rabbit vibrator is an iconic sex toy designed to provide simultaneous external and internal stimulation. Its name comes from the shape: a smaller external ‘ear’ that rests on the clitoris, paired with a longer insertable arm that targets the vagina. The Artist by Smile Makers Collection features two powerful motors, one in each head, making it essentially two vibrators in one. With independent control, you can enjoy blended sensations or focus more intense stimulation where you want it most.

Dual rabbit vibrators are great for beginners who are curious about both internal and external stimulation. They're particularly suited for those who enjoy clitoral stimulation during penetration, as they deliver both at once, often leading to what’s known as blended orgasms. However, if you experience pain with penetration or conditions like vaginismus, a rabbit vibrator might not be the most comfortable choice. In that case, a clitoral vibrator may be a gentler starting point. Not sure what suits you best? Take our quiz to find the right fit for your pleasure preferences.

Start by lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the bed or floor, wherever you choose to vibe, comfort is key. Apply water-based lubricant generously to both the toy and your vulva to ease insertion and enhance sensation.With The Artist, the 30-degree flexible shaft makes it easier to align with your anatomy. Slowly insert the longer vibrator into the vagina; as you do, the external arm will naturally rest on your vulva. Use your hand to adjust it so it sits directly against the clitoris gently. Once in place, explore different vibration settings and body positions until you find what feels good. The long handle makes it easier to manoeuvre and tailor the experience to you.

Pleasure isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are orgasms. While dual rabbit vibrators are designed to encourage blended orgasms, climax isn’t guaranteed, and that’s okay. For many of us, understanding how to have an orgasm starts with exploring clitoral stimulation. The Artist features dual motors and adjustable controls, so you can tailor the intensity and focus sensation where you need it most, often on the clitoris.To climax with a rabbit vibrator, take your time, experiment with angles, modes, and vibration patterns, and focus on enjoying the experience, not just the end goal.

Absolutely! Partner sex is all about playing together and getting curious about different types of stimulation. Using a dual rabbit vibrator during sex is a great way to explore penetrative play while also prioritizing clitoral pleasure. A design like The Artist, with its long handle, makes it easier to use in partnered positions, like lying side by side, so you can kiss, cuddle, and build intimacy as you explore. And let’s not forget the joy of mutual masturbation.

After use, clean your dual rabbit vibrator with warm water and mild soap. For an even gentler, material-safe option, use Vibe Wash, a specially formulated, pH-balanced sex toy cleaner that’s safe for silicone. Make sure to pat dry before storing.

Not all dual rabbit vibrators are created equally, but all Smile Makers Collection vibrators are waterproof! That means you can absolutely bring The Artist into the shower (standing play, anyone?) or the bath. Just a heads-up: while they’re built for water play, they’re not made for long soaks. Feel free to use them in the tub, but avoid prolonged exposure or full submersion.

Is The Artist suitable for people with vaginismus?

Yes — The Artist is one of our most recommended vibrators for people with vaginismus or pelvic floor tension, and here's why.

Vaginismus involves involuntary tightening of the pelvic floor muscles, which can make penetration painful or impossible. The Artist is designed with this in mind in several ways:

The insertable arm is flexible and adjustable. Unlike rigid internal vibrators, The Artist's shaft has a soft, curved head that can be angled to suit your anatomy rather than forcing a fixed shape. This makes insertion significantly more comfortable for people who find standard internal toys painful or intimidating.

You don't have to use it internally at all. The external clitoral arm works completely independently, with its own motor and vibration settings. Many people with vaginismus use The Artist purely for clitoral stimulation — enjoying all the pleasure with none of the penetration pressure.

You can build up gradually. Because the internal and external arms have separate controls, you can start with external stimulation only, and gently introduce the internal arm over time as comfort increases — entirely on your own terms and at your own pace.

The squeeze sensors let you control intensity intuitively. Rather than fumbling with buttons, you simply squeeze the handle to increase intensity and release to ease off. This makes it easy to stay present and in control of sensation — which matters enormously when managing pelvic floor tension.

We always recommend working with a pelvic health physiotherapist if you're navigating vaginismus, as they can provide personalised guidance. But for solo exploration and reconnecting with pleasure at your own pace, The Artist is a thoughtful starting point.
