Six Things to Think About When Choosing a Vibrator

From The Ultimate Guide to Sex and Disabillity, whose authors say “sex toys can open you up to your potential and help you find your own sexual climax.”

Do you want something for just external stimulation, something for penetration, or both?
If you’re looking for something for penetration, do you want something you can use vaginally or anally or both?
What about shape, size, colour? Do you want something that looks like a penis or something completely nonrepresentational?
Some vibrators you hold on to and others you can strap to your body. Which would you prefer?
What material do you want?
How much do you want to spend?

The book suggests starting with less expensive vibrators if it’s your first time, but less expensive usually means it won’t last as long.
