The Rabbit vs. First Time Vibrator

Rabbit asks:

Hi Amy. My friends keep telling me to get a rabbit vibrator. They say it's a guaranteed orgasm, but I'm not sure if I 'm ready to spend that much money on my first toy. Do you recommend the rabbit as a first toy or should I go for something else?

Dear Rabbit-

Many people know of the Rabbit Vibrator, also called the Rabbit Pearl or the Rabbit Habit, from an episode on the HBO series, "Sex and the City", where one of the characters becomes 'addicted' to her Rabbit vibe; so much that she will not even leave her apartment for a number of days. While this may be the case for some people, many people enjoy the Rabbit vibe for different reasons and are able to avoid the alluring vibrator addiction.

The traditional Rabbit vibrator is made by a great company called Vibratex, and is known for its rabbit-shaped clit tickler to be used externally while simultaneously using the internal phallus featuring rotating beads on the bottom and a semi-realistic head on the top. The Rabbit vibe is often referred to as a combo or dual vibrator, where both internal and external stimulation are being delivered through one device. Many people love this option, especially those individuals who know they like having their clit and g-spot stimulated at the same time. Adversely, some women may not enjoy this sort of stimulation for many reasons, one being because they like to focus on one spot more than the other (clit vs. G). Most women experience orgasm via clitoral stimulation, and the Rabbit may not be the best option if this is the main focus of your playtime.

In terms of a first time vibrator, I always recommend starting simple, meaning a basic, inexpensive vibe that will help you distinguish what types of stimulation you enjoy. Some popular first-time vibes include the Breeze Wisteria vibe, the Seduction by Evolved, and the Smoothie vibe. After you figure out what kind of vibrator really gets you off, you may want to invest a few well-spent dollars in a nicer toy, such as one that is rechargeable, or, if you decide it is your thing, something from the Rabbit line.
