Question: What's the difference between a vibrator and a dildo?
Answer: Basically, a vibrator vibrates and a dildo doesn't. A vibrator uses batteries or wall current to power a small motor that makes it vibrate.
When placed against the body, the vibrations can provide a relaxing massage. When placed against the clitoris, vaginal lips, anus, penis, or scrotum, or inside the vagina or anus, the vibrations can provide sexual stimulation that contribute to erotic pleasure orgasm.
Vibrators come in two basic forms--phallic (penis-shaped) and ball-topped. Phallic vibrators are long plastic or jelly cylinders with a tapered end. Some are realistic-looking penis models. Ball-topped vibrators have vibrating ball-shaped ends. Ball-topped vibrators often deliver more intense sensations, but are not typically introduced into the vagina.
It's easy to use a vibrator. Just turn it on. If it's adjustable, set it to the speed (intensity) you like. Experiment for yourself. Have fun.
Dildos are either realistic or fanciful models of the penis. Some are modeled on porn stars. Dildos can be used like a penis. Typically, they are inserted into the mouth, vagina, or anus, or rubbed against the clitoris.
Xandria.com sells dozens of different vibrators and dildos: different shapes, sizes, styles, made from different materials. Xandria.com also sells several vibrator kits--a standard phallic vibrator along with different erotic attachments that allow a wider range of sexual excitement.
For comfort, we suggest using a lubricant with vibrators and dildos. Lubricants increase comfort by preventing the irritation that's possible when a dry sex toy rubs against dry skin, particularly sensitive genital skin. Lubricants also intensify the sensations the toy produces. Xandria sells several different lubes. If you're not sure which one you like best, we suggest Xandria's Lubricant Sampler Kit, which contains five different lubes.
