They are typically waterproof and they can be made from body safe plastics or silicone. Available in a wide range of colours and styles, they are some of the most affordable types of vibrator on the market.
Why People Love Bullet Vibrators
Bullet vibrators are one of the most popular types of vibrators because of their versatility. Lets look at just a few of the benefits a bullet vibrator has to offer:
- Genderless & Neutral – Whilst perfect for precise clit action, these vibrators suit people of all genders and sexuality. They can be used to offer targeted stimulation to any external erogenous zone you choose. This makes them a great choice for anyone playing alone and couples of any sexual orientation.
- Affordable – From as little as £5 these vibes are an attractive proposition for anyone on a budget or wanting to try before investing more heavily.

Best Ways to Use a Bullet Vibrator
We’re sure you’ve got plenty of ideas for how to use a bullet vibrator. But if you’re looking for a little inspiration here are a few of our favourite ways to play:
Clitoral Stimulation – Possibly what the bullet is best known for. It’s expert at giving your clitoris some serious attention.
Wet & Wild – If your bullet is waterproof why not turn up the heat and enjoy a steamy session in the bath or the shower?
Mind Blowing Blow Jobs – Hold a bullet vibe against your lovers penis, testicles or perineum whilst you suck them dry. Mix it up by using the bullet to stroke the penis along the shaft, around the testicles and on the head directly.
During Penetrative Sex – You can even use a bullet vibrator during sex. Holding it against the clitoris during penetrative sex will increase the chance of you both enjoying a happy ending. For non-heterosexual couples, hold the bullet against any other erogenous zone to enhance stimulation and excitement.
Tag Team – Why not try pairing your bullet with other sex toys from your collection? Doubling up on sex toys means dual stimulation. Double the toys, double the fun.
DIY Vibrating Knickers – Pop a bullet vibrator into the gusset of your favourite underwear to transform them into vibrating knickers!
Who Should Use a Bullet Vibrator?
Bullet vibrators are a fantastic choice for anyone who loves to explore pleasure, but they hold a special appeal for certain users.
Beginners – Because bullets are so sublimely simple, they make the best choice for newbies. Easy to use, easy to handle and easy to get right, these vibrators can make the good vibes flow regardless of experience.
Travellers – Their small proportions make them ideal for travel. Slip them into your make up bag where they can be easily mistaken as a lipstick. Pop them in your pocket or throw them in your overnight bag. There’s no need to be without a sex toy even when you are away from home.
Couples – A bullet can be the opportunity to explore each other all over again. Use it to tantalise the clitoris, nipples, or perineum. Use it to elevate foreplay, oral sex and intercourse. Introducing a bullet into your sex life can prevent sex becoming too samey, injecting new excitement and rekindling passions.

Wand Vibrators: For Soothing, Strong Sensations
Wand vibrators were one of the first mainstream vibrators to appear on the market. The original Hitachi wand was sold back in the 70’s as a massage aid and marketed as a tool to soothe aches and pains. It wasn’t long before adventurous housewives soon realised this massager had other more exciting potential and hey presto the wand vibrator was born!
What is a Wand Vibrator?
The largest of the vibrator gang, they are extremely powerful. Designed to provide deep, penetrating vibrations throughout the entire body, these vibrators are typically large with a long handle and a bulbous head. Many designs are mains operated to ensure maximum strength but cordless and rechargeable models are also available. Known for their strong, rumbling vibrations, these vibrators offer satisfying stimulation to any external zone you choose (just be careful on the most intimate and sensitive bits!)
Where smaller vibrators offer precise, targeted stimulation, wand vibrators disperse their stimulation across a wider reaching surface area.
Difference Between Traditional and Modern Wands
The wand vibrator has come a long way since the 1970’s with today’s modern creations looking very different to the early editions. Lets look at how the wand vibrator has evolved in the past 70 years…
Classic Models Vs. Modern Day Models
Power: Plug in power meant needing to use the device in close proximity to a plug socket. Many of today’s wands are cordless and fully rechargeable meaning they provide just as much power without restricting movement.
Design: Traditional wands were typically bulky and heavy making them more cumbersome to handle, manoeuvre and play with. Modern wands are ergonomic and lightweight making handling a breeze and enabling longer, more comfortable play sessions.
Settings & Modes: The original wands had limited settings. It was almost a choice of intense or very intense! Which at the time was obviously enough, otherwise why the popularity! But today you can indulge in many more vibration speeds and patterns making play more varied and enabling customisation for the user.
Waterproofing: Early models would not have been waterproof, the main reason being you needed to be plugged into the mains for the wand to work. Hardly safe then to submerge your wand in water! But thanks to cordless editions and waterproofing, you can now enjoy your wand in the bath or the shower.
Additional Features: Some high-tech wands go a step further in their bid to satisfy… remote control, app connectivity, and even music-syncing features. These innovative wands can be paired with smartphone apps that allow you (or a partner) to fully tailor the play to meet your mood with just a tap on your screen.
How to Use a Wand Vibrator for Pleasure and Relaxation
Wand vibrators are often referred to as magic wands – and for good reason! With their incredible ability to deliver intense pleasure and deep relaxation, they truly live up to their name. Let’s explore how they can sprinkle a little magic into your self-care routine…
Masturbation: Use a wand to stimulate any external erogenous zone you like. Unlike the targeted stimulation of a bullet vibrator, the broad head disperses vibrations across a wider area for deep, rumbly pleasure sensations that can bring on a stronger more intense orgasm.
Edging: This is the technique of bringing yourself, or your lover, as close to an orgasm as possible before stopping. Wands make tantalising tools for edging. Simply use the settings to start slow and steady before turning up the speed to get as close to the Big O as possible. Now slow everything back down again and repeat.
Erotic Massage: Combine sensual massage oil and a wand to massage your partner’s neck, shoulders and lower back. Invite your partner to guide the wand to areas they want you focus on. Start slowly. Gradually build sexual anticipation by getting closer to their more intimate areas and increasing speeds or vibration patterns. Take your time and enjoy this chance to explore each other intimately.
Sensory Play: For enhanced partnered play, pair your wand with some light bondage toys such as a soft blindfold or silky handcuffs. This offers up exciting power play and role play scenarios.
A Sensual Bath Time: What better way to relax after a long hard day, than a deep bubble bath and your favourite magic wand? Soaking in the tub with an orgasmic tool at your fingertips.. sound almost too good to be true.
A word of warning, your wand is powerful so be careful in and around sensitive parts of the body particularly the testicle. Always start your fun on a low setting and test the waters before increasing speed.

Rabbit Vibrators: Dual Stimulation Explained
Possibly the most iconic vibrator ever created, the rampant rabbit has been bounding around our bedrooms since the 80’s. Thrust into the limelight following one saucy episode of Sex and the City, the one with the rabbit, our bunny friend quickly established itself as a must have for dual stimulation fans around the world. Rabbit vibrators provide simultaneous internal and external stimulation, often resulting in the ever-desirable blended orgasm.
What Makes Rabbit Vibrators Unique?
The standout feature that sets rabbit vibrators apart from other types of vibrator, is their unique ability to provide dual stimulation. Typically, most vibrators focus on either internal stimulation or external stimulation. In the case of our beloved bunnies, they do both! With a penetrating shaft for your internal enjoyment and an external arm for the clitoris, the bunny offers combined g-spot and clitoral stimulation simultaneously.
In addition to dual stimulation, rabbit vibrators are also unique in their shape and design. A slightly curved shaft makes reaching the g-spot a breeze. The shaft will usually feature a bulbous head to then massage this important sweet spot. The external arm is situated at the base of the vibrator to stimulate the clitoris. This arm often features bunny shaped ears, hence the name. The best rabbit vibrators will have dual motors to enable independent control of g-spot and clitoral pleasure. Some models may also have thrusting, rotating and warming options.
How Dual Stimulation Works
Dual stimulation simply means stimulating two key areas at the same time. In the case of rabbit vibrators, they are designed to hit the g-spot and clitoris at once and in unison.
G-spot stimulation is achieved via the internal vibrating shaft.
Clitoral stimulation is achieved thanks to the bunny-eared attachment that sits outside the body and vibrates against the clitoris.
By working together, these features of the rabbit vibrator create a unique, intense experience that many people find leads to faster, stronger orgasms. Dual stimulation is also linked to blended orgasms. The definition of a blended orgasm is a clitoral and vaginal orgasm occurring at the same time. This type of orgasm should feel intense, deep and satisfying.
Why Are Rabbit Vibrators So Popular?
Here are the top ten reasons why rabbit vibrators have stood the test of time and why they are such a firm favourite for so many of us.
- Dual Stimulation – Something other types of vibrator may struggle with.
- Blended Orgasms – Combing internal and external pleasure for knee trembling results.
- Diversity – Available in every conceivable shape, size, colour and material. The choice is mind-boggling meaning there really is a bunny for everyone.
- A Part of Pop Culture – Made famous by Sex and the City, the rabbit vibrator has remained one the bestselling types of vibrator. Whilst fads and come and go, the rampant rabbit has stayed put proving its popularity and it’s pleasure capabilities.
- Customisable Play – With many rabbits having dual motors, you are in the driving seat when it comes to how you want to play. Being able to control the shaft and ears separately makes for a truly personalised experience.
- Hands-Free Pleasure – Once a rabbit is inserted, many will stay put, meaning you can enjoy them without the need to hold them in place. Certain positions lend themselves more easily to this freedom. We recommend lying down or sitting as opposed to standing up!
- Variety of Features – Today’s rabbits can have many additional features to further elevate sensations. This may include app control, rotating beads, warming shafts, thrusting motions and even air pulse technology.
- Perfect for Beginners and Pros – Because rabbit vibrators are available in pretty much any shape or size, they are a vibrator that can be used by both experienced players and newbies. Just choose a model that matches your experience level.
- Couples Delight – Rabbit vibrators can inject new thrills into partnered play. Use them to spice up foreplay. Use them during intercourse for double penetration or use them on each other for exciting power play or role play.
- Double the Fun – Because rabbits offer both internal and external stimulation, you are effectively getting two toys for the price of one.

Choosing the Right Vibrator for Your Needs
We’ve only just begun to explore the countless options available, but you might already be wondering—how do you choose the right vibrator? It can feel daunting but finding the right vibrator for you is just a case of considering a few key factors. Here’s how…
Choose the Right Size
The size of your vibrator can make a big difference to your experience. Smaller, slimmer vibes such as bullets, mini rabbits or a classic vibrator may suit beginners or those that prefer gentle stimulation. Thrusting vibrators, sit on vibrators or massage wands may suit those looking for a bigger hit. If you want to take your toy away with you, then look for compact models that are more discreet and travel-friendly.
Check for Body Safe Materials
The type of material your vibrator is made from, will determine how it feels against your skin. It also makes a difference as to how easy a vibrator is to clean. These are a few of the most common materials:
- Silicone – This is the crème de la crème of sex toy materials. Totally body safe, hypoallergenic, non-porous and luxurious to touch.
- ABS Plastic – This has a harder texture and is often used for less expensive models.
- Metal – Extremely durable and perfect for fans of temperature play as it can be heated up or cooled down safely.
Privacy & Discretion
Are you someone who is proud to shout it from the rooftops, or would you rather keep your sex life under wraps? If less noise is important to you, look for whisper-quiet or extra-quiet in the product description. This tells you the vibrator should be no noisier than the gentle hum of a fridge. Search extra quiet vibrators and lots of online stores including passionbugs, have a designated category to make it quick and easy to locate the right products.
Set Yourself a Budget
Setting yourself a budget is an easy way to quickly reduce your options. It also prevents over spending ensuring your vibrator won’t break the bank. At passionbugs, you can filter any product category by price, making it easier to find product to match your spending.
Look for Customisable Settings
Lots of models now have advanced features which can be very attractive to those that enjoy plenty of variety, tailored play and are tech savvy. App control, customisable settings and choice of modes and speeds, enable you to be able to set up play to your meet your own preferences. If you’re into experimenting, look for custom patterns, Bluetooth connectivity, or interactive features.

Here are a few quick tips for helping you decide on your new bedtime buddy.
- If you’re not sure what size to go for, start small. You can always go bigger next time.
- Always choose a body-safe material, preferably phthalate-free.

Whether you’re teasing the G-spot or pleasuring the P-spot, vibrators unlock sensations that go beyond what human touch alone can achieve, offering new and exciting ways to explore pleasure.
The key to unlocking these sensations is understanding how to use a vibrator for maximum fun!
| Type of Vibrator | Lubricant? | How to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Bullet Vibrators | Recommended | Place the bullet vibrator against the clitoris or other erogenous zones, applying gentle pressure for targeted stimulation. Adjust the vibration settings to find the intensity that feels best for you. |
| Clitoral Stimulators | Recommended | Place the vibrator against the clitoris for direct contact. Adjust settings to find the best intensity. Explore different patterns for varied sensations. |
| Clit Suckers & Rose Toys | Essential | Place a small amount of sex lube around the mouth or nozzle of the device. Turn the device on and place above and over the clitoris. Cycle through the available settings to find what works best for you. |
| Couples Vibrators | Recommended | Following the manufacture’s guidance position the vibrator accordingly. Communicate with each other throughout as you explore the best settings, patterns or modes to get you both excited. Use during foreplay and sexual intercourse to elevate sensations. |
| Dildo Vibrators | Essential | Apply lubricant to the toy before use. Place the head of the vibrator at the entrance of the vagina, then slowly slide the toy inside the body. Use the controls to find your desired level of vibration. |
| G-Spot Vibrators | Essential | Apply lube to both yourself and the vibrator before gently inserting it. Ensure the vibrator’s head reaches the G-spot for optimal stimulation. Angle it towards the front wall of the vagina, about two inches inside. |
| Love Egg Vibrators | Recommended | Love eggs need to be gently inserted into the vagina. Lubricate both the love egg and yourself before insertion. Gently insert the egg and position for comfort. Use the remote to control the settings or pass to a partner for thrilling couples play. |
| Panty Vibrators | Recommended | Whilst wearing a pair of knickers, place the panty vibrator inside. Adjust it to sit so that it makes contact with the clitoris. If your vibrator comes with a magnetic disc, place this on the outside of your underwear to hold the vibrator in place. |
| Rabbit Vibrators | Essential | The shaft needs to be inserted into the vagina with the head positioned to massage the g-spot. The external clitoral arm should rest against the clitoris. Adjust the settings for both internal and external stimulation. |
| Wand Vibrators | Recommended | Wand vibrators can be used to soothe aching muscles and joints or they can be used for an erotic massage. Either way a generous helping of lube will help the head to glide easily over the skin heightening sensitivity and awakening juicy nerve endings for elevated pleasure. Be sure to start on a gentle setting as these vibrators can be very powerful. |
Expert Tips for Using a Vibrator
Check out these top tips to further enhance your vibrator play.
Tailoring Sensations
This helps to ensure play meets personal likes, mood and needs. Experiment with speeds and patterns. Some common modes you can expect include:
- Steady – Great for gradually building sexual tension.
- Pulsing rhythms –teasing sensations, perfect for edging.
- Waves – Rise and fall in intensity, ideal for those rhythmical sensations.
- Random / Shuffle – Keep things unpredictable for extra excitement.
Starting slowly and gradually increasing intensity can help you get comfortable with a new vibrator Gradually increasing speed or intensity helps to build a stronger, more rewarding climax Explore different parts of your body with each speed or pattern to discover what works best for you
Create Dual Stimulation
Why have just one type of sensation when you can have two? Combining a vibrator with other sex toys will further increase the sensations you can enjoy. Proven combinations include:
- Rabbit Vibrator and Love Egg
- Bullet Vibrator and Dildo
- Vibrating Wand and Butt Plug
Be sure to use lashing of water-based sex lube to ensure comfort and heighten sensations.
Elevate Solo Play
Explore previously unstimulated parts of the body Experiment with holding your vibrator at different angels and with different amounts of pressure. Try using your vibrator in different positions. If your vibrator is waterproof, try it in the shower or the bath.
Enhance Couples Play
Introduce a vibrator into foreplay to inject new thrills. Elevate oral sex by combining with a vibrator. Use a vibrator during penetrative sex. Explore double penetration with the help of insertable vibrators and your partner’s own body parts! Combine a vibrator with a blindfold, handcuffs or ankle restraints for creative power play and role play. Communicate with your partner and be honest about what turns you on, what you want to try and what your boundaries are.
Overcoming Common Misconceptions & Fears
With something new, it’s only natural you might have some concerns. Like anything in life, there are always myths floating around that can cause worry. So, if that’s the case, let’s put your mind at rest with a quick rundown of some common untruths.
Vibrators make you less sensitive – Untrue. There is no evidence that using a vibrator regularly can “desensitise” you. In fact, using a vibrator can actually help you to understand your body more, learning what turns you on and what excites you. Plus, using a vibrator can increase sensitivity over time by encouraging blood flow and heightening arousal.
Vibrators will replace a partner – Untrue. Nothing can replace the real touch of a human but vibrators can enhance those sensations. Using a vibrator for both solo play and partnered play brings different dimensions of pleasure. App controlled and remote controlled vibrators can bring couples closer together as you discover a deeper connection and intimacy.
Vibrators are just for women – Untrue. People of all genders can use a vibrator. Yes, a vibrator will stimulate the vagina and clitoris, but they also excite testicles, perineum, frenulum, nipples, inner thighs, p-spots and the anus.
Vibrators are too loud – Untrue. Whilst the earliest vibrators might have required ear defenders, (slight exaggeration but you get the idea), modern day models can be no louder than a vibrating tooth brush. Many of today’s vibrators are advertised as whisper quiet or extra quiet providing distraction free, discreet fun.
The key to the best pleasure is to stop caring what others think, to break free of misconceptions and just to get on with enjoying yourself!
