Rabbit vibrators are one of the most popular sex toys on the market. They are ideal for women who struggle to reach climax from penetration alone and can deliver powerful blended orgasms.
They also stimulate multiple erogenous zones and are a great option for couples who like to masturbate together. But how exactly does a rabbit vibe work?
The Shaft
Many rabbit vibes come with both a clitoral stimulator and an external shaft. Often, the smaller arm that contains the ears (which are sometimes shaped like rabbit knubs) can be adjusted to different positions so you can tease your clitoris and perineum in ways that feel good to you. The shaft itself can also be positioned in different ways to target other sweet spots, including your nipples and tummy.
A rabbit vibrator can be used alone or with a partner. It’s also a great tool for learning about your own pleasure preferences and exploring what kind of stimulation feels best for you, whether it be throbbing G-spot stimulation, teasing clitoral play, squirming and tickling erogenous zones or rotating or undulating shaft massage.
If you’re new to rabbit-style vibes, it’s helpful to start with the clitoral ears and the external shaft and gradually add in the internal part if you feel ready for it. It’s also a good idea to try different positions to see how the toy feels, such as straddling something or standing up instead of lying down on your back.
If you’re using a rabbit vibe with a partner, it’s a good idea to use lube to avoid irritation of the vaginal walls. You can choose a water-based or silicone-based lube that feels best for you.
The Ears
Many rabbit vibrators have an extended “arm” that is often (but not always) shaped like rabbit ears. This can be inserted for external stimulation. The ears can be moved in a thrusting motion as you penetrate, to pleasure the perineum and clitoris. They can also be positioned to vibrate against your partner during partnered play.
If you’re using a rabbit viber for G-spot stimulation, consider applying some water-based lubricant to both the shaft and the ears. You may find it helps the vibrations feel more intense. Then, try turning on the vibration settings to see what intensity feels good to you. Some rabbits have separate settings for the ears and the main shaft, giving you lots of options to explore.
While some women can achieve orgasm with penetration alone, most need a combination of internal and external stimulation to get there. According to sex educator Cassandra Corrado, “The reason rabbits are so popular is because they stimulate both the clitoral and G-spot areas simultaneously. This helps most vulva owners reach orgasm faster.”
Not all rabbits have the same level of intensity or function, so it’s important to choose one that suits your personal needs and preferences. For example, if you want a rabbit that thrusts internally and also rotates like someone fingering you, try the Eden Rabbit from Calexotics or the Fifi from Je Joue.
The Tickler
The ears of a rabbit vibrator are designed to tease your clitoral hood while the head and nose are firm enough to transfer vibration directly into your body. This positioning gives the dildo its power, and is what makes this type of vibe so popular among women.
Most rabbit vibrators feature a power button located on the handle and multiple buttons that control various stimulation modes. Play around with these controls to get a feel for how the vibe feels and to learn how it feels on your body.
You may want to apply lubricant before you start using your rabbit vibrator for the first time. Lube is like a sex toy’s wingman, and helps enhance the feeling of the toy by making it more slippery. Make sure the toy is fully charged or has fresh batteries before you use it, too. This will ensure it has the power it needs to work its magic on your clitoris, and prevent the dreaded “Sudden Rabbit Death Syndrome” from kicking in during your foreplay.
A common misconception about rabbit vibrators is that they are only for vaginal/clitoral dual stimulation, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, you can use your bunny vibe on any part of your body – from the anus to the nipples to even your testicles. In fact, combining different types of stimulation can actually lead to orgasms that are stronger and last longer than single-stimulation orgasms.
The Internal Wand
Like the ears of a rabbit, the internal wand has multiple vibration modes to pleasure you. You can use the wand to stimulate your clitoris, tickle your nipples and more. The internal wand also has a different motor than the smaller shaft, allowing you to play with intensity and pulsing settings for added orgasms.
The most important thing to remember with a rabbit vibrator is that it’s a dual-stimulating sex toy that can give you vaginal and clitoral stimulation at the same time. “This is an amazing sex toy for those who enjoy the feeling of a blended orgasm,” says Corrado.
If you’re not sure what to do with a rabbit vibe, start off with a light setting and a bit of water-based lube. Try it out on other sweet spots like your nipples, neck or arms to see how you feel with the vibrations before you go all-in with the clitoral stimulation.
And if you have a partner to play with, the rabbit vibe can be just as satisfying for both of you. Just be sure to have a great bottle of lube on hand, and to make sure that the rabbit vibe’s noise doesn’t scare your partner away before you insert it. (Also, make sure to buy a waterproof rabbit vibe if you plan on using it in the shower or bathtub.)
