Hold the external stimulator, the handle, or both, and apply the toy to the body part you want to stimulate. You can also use it for penetration as well.
Grab a sex toy cleaner and water and follow the cleaning instructions given by the manufacturer.
Put the toy in a sealable storage bag or in a dry place. Make sure it's dried off and recharged so it's ready for your next use.
The unit consists of a penetrating wand and an external stimulator for the clitoris, which was once always shaped like the ears of a rabbit.
Today, rabbit vibes boast other functions and features as well. Check out how to use a rabbit vibrator below.
Whether you will like rabbit vibrators or not is a matter of preference. The only way to know if you like it is to try it out.
In 2018, a study published in the Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy found that more than a third of women needed clitoral stimulation to achieve an orgasm during penetration.
As many as half of women say that they are not satisfied with the frequency of achieved orgasms. If any of this is relatable, a rabbit vibrator may be a good choice.
This sex toy offers dual stimulation, mimicking penetrative sex and offering stimulation for the clitoris at the same time.
Statistics are a good indication that many women like the rabbit vibrator. A measure of how many women owned a rabbit vibrator in 2017 found that 10 percent already owned one and another 28 percent wanted to own one.
How to Use a Rabbit Vibrator
There are a few different ways the sex toy can be used. For example, you don't necessarily have to use the clitoral stimulator to stimulate just the clitoris.
It can also be used for stimulating:
The vulva
The testicles
The anus
Nipples
Likewise, there are different ways to hold the toy too. Users can hold the external stimulator instead of the handle or use one hand to hold the external stimulator and another to hold the handle.
You can also go for using a thrusting action with the handle while masturbating or opt for grinding against the rabbit vibrator and rocking back and forth to control stimulation.
For the first experience with a rabbit vibrator, it is a good idea to stick with the basics. Take some time to get to know how the toy works.
Below are a few important tips to keep in mind on how to use a rabbit vibrator.
1. Get Comfortable with the Functions
Take some time to get familiar with the functions of the sex toy and how they work before jumping in. A few ways to get familiar include:
Play around with the settings and buttons to get used to where they are located.
Cycle through the different settings to determine what you may like.
Apply the vibrating wand or external stimulator to your fingers or nipples first to get a sense of what to expect.
From here, get comfortable in a position with your knees bent and legs spread, and try to relax. If you feel intimidated by the vibrator and your body is tense, the experience may not be as enjoyable as it could be.
2. Include a Good Lube
Using a water-based lubricant with the rabbit vibrator can help with reducing friction.
Even if you have a lot of natural lubrication flowing in the beginning, the vibrations and movement may cause more friction than usual.
Most rabbit vibrators have a silicone exterior. Therefore, even though silicone-based lubes can last longer, water-based lube is best because it won't damage the material.
3. Experiment
When arousal levels are up and the body feels ready for penetration, experiment with inserting the internal wand.
It can be helpful to leave the vibrating functions for the internal wand off until you feel comfortable with how to hold the vibrator and move it.
Applying slight pressure to the external stimulator can change the intensity of the sensations as well.
4. Try Different Positions
Once you are comfortable using the rabbit vibrator, don't be afraid to experiment even further by using the toy in different positions.
Try:
Straddling a pillow with the toy positioned in place for grinding
Using the toy while on your knees or squatting
Practicing different hip movements
Allowing a partner to use the rabbit vibrator on you
What to Consider Before Buying a Rabbit Vibrator
What began as a standard penetrating sex toy with an extended set of ears for clitoral stimulation has evolved over the years.
Today's rabbit vibrators come in different sizes, shapes, functions, and colors. Some have posable "ears," some don't have ears at all.
Rabbit vibrators also vary when it comes to settings and intensity levels. All of this is important to consider when picking the best model.
Here are the top features to consider to help track down the right model.
Intensity
Rabbit vibrators can have a range of intensity levels and vibrating functions, and this is one of the most important features to consider.
Typical models have settings for the internal wand and external stimulator. There may be a number of different combinations of settings to use.
For example, the Nova 2 Rabbit Vibrator has 10 vibration modes for the internal and external arm, and these can be used together or separately. Even better, the sex toy's vibrating functions can be controlled via an app.
Design
Rabbit vibrators all have an internal and external arm for dual stimulation, but beyond this shared feature, there can be many design variables, such as:
A more angled internal arm for g-spot stimulation
A more flexible external arm for precise clitoral stimulation
A penis-shaped internal arm
A thin internal probe with slight flex or bending abilities
A longer handle for better grasping abilities
Consider what features are preferable personally and make sure the model chosen offers those attributes.
Price
Rabbit vibrators can be found at just about any price point. For example, more standard versions like the Jazz Rabbit Vibrator are $39.99. Larger ones with more functions tend to be more expensive.
Material
Most rabbit vibrators have a silicone exterior, which is non-porous, easy to clean, and offers a soft touch.
Be sure to look for silicone sex toys that are free of phthalates and other plastic additives that can pose unnecessary health risks during personal play.
Waterproof Capabilities
Some rabbit vibrators will be fully waterproof, while others are only safe for general water exposure or water-resistant. If you plan to use the vibrator in the bath or shower, it’s important to make sure it has these capabilities.
Noise Level
Discreetness can be a concern with any sex toy. Look for noise-level ratings and information in the toy's product description.
Size
Rabbit vibrators are naturally larger than something like a vibrating bullet. Still, there are smaller models that are more portable and easy to conceal.
A few questions to keep in mind when it comes to size are:
Is the internal arm long enough for satisfactory penetration?
Is the clitoral stimulator long enough to reach your clitoris during penetration?
Is the internal wand a large enough girth for personal preferences?
Most women prefer a penis length of about 6.3 to 6.4 inches for penetration. Therefore, a lot of rabbit vibrators offer similar lengths.
However, if you want something smaller for solo play, shorter models are available as well.
Once the solo play session is over, it is best to clean up the toy and store it soon after. Different rabbit vibrators can come with their own cleaning recommendations.
Avoid boiling a rabbit vibrator or sticking it in the dishwasher to protect the vibrating motor and components.
Storing a Rabbit Vibrator
The main thing to remember about storing a rabbit vibrator is to allow it to air dry before tucking it away in storage.
Air drying prevents getting towel lint or other contaminants on the toy's surface after cleaning.
It may also be a good idea to recharge the toy before storage so it can be ready whenever you use it again.
Keep the rabbit vibrator in a dry, clean place to protect the silicone exterior. Most good rabbit vibrators will come with a sealable storage bag for safekeeping.
Takeaways to Remember
Rabbit vibrators are unique sex toys designed for both penetration and clitoral stimulation.
Learning how to use a rabbit vibrator may take a bit of exploration and practice. The sex toy boasts many functions and styles, and may help achieve orgasm.
Picking the best model can be a matter of preference, but several factors like size, features, design, waterproof capabilities, and intensity should be considered.
If you decide the rabbit vibrator isn’t for you, there are plenty of other sex toy options to try out.
