  1. First developed in the 1880s by Kelsey Stinner to treat what was then called "congestion of the genitalia" and "female hysteria," the vibrator, pulsing at varying speeds and designed in numerous shapes and sizes, stimulates sensitive nerve endings on the body. Predominantly, vibrators are used on women to heighten stimulation of the clitoris, "G spot" or rectal nerve endings through their varying speeds, designs and single or multiple stimulators. Used as a masturbation tool or with a partner, the vibrator works with you to achieve orgasms.
  2. In the same way that an imbalanced tire makes your steering wheel shake, the lead weight in a vibrator causes the vibrator to vibrate. As a mechanical device, the vibration is caused by an electric motor inside the device with a small lead weight attached to a motor shaft. Offset from the center like a wobbly wheel, this weight causes the vibrator to shake when the motor spins.

    Vibrators with variable speeds have the ability to vibrate harder and more intensely or slowly with gentle pulsations. Most vibrators simply power on or off through a switch but some will only function when turned on and noise is present, gradually increasing or decreasing the vibration in response to the noise level.
    Vibrators are mainly battery-powered, so make sure to stock up on some when purchasing this orgasmic device.
  3. Vibrators are used to stimulate the nerve endings in the pelvic region on the surface and inside the vagina which are sensitive to touch. The continuous vibration from the vibrator trigger the nerve endings to produce a wave of pleasurable sensation, otherwise known as an orgasm, when the pleasure builds to such an intensity that it topples over the edge of ecstasy. The level of stimulation that a vibrator offers is difficult to replicate, which is why most women utilize them to achieve orgasms.
    During masturbation or with a partner, the vibrator is placed upon the clitoris, inside the vagina or inserted into the rectum. Vibrators come in all shapes, sizes and designs. "G spot" vibrators utilize a traditional design with a curve and often a soft jelly-like coating to reach the nerve endings located along the frontal vaginal wall. Rabbit vibrators are two pronged to stimulate both the clitoris and vagina simultaneously to cause a woman to orgasm. Anal vibrators, generally designed with a flared base or a long handle to grip to prevent them from slipping inside or becoming lodged in the rectum, are longer so they can stimulate the nerves deep within the rectum.
  4. The pulsating hum of a vibrator along sensitive areas like the nipples, clitoris, "G spot" and rectum can produce a riveting effect. As to how a vibrator persuades each woman to orgasm, there's really no exact guideline. Every woman is different, so trying varying designs and shapes in different places of sensitivity and at varying speeds is the best way to determine how to get the vibrator to work for you.
