How to Choose a Vibrator

When one decides to purchase any machine to elevate the fun in life, from a blender to a car, vigilant attention, research, and study is required. And wow, what wondrous experts, resources and selections there are, indeed. The first thing I recommend is to read up on the best of the best, and I have two favorite sexuality advocates:

The first is Dell Williams, author of Revolution in the Garden and owner of Eve's Garden, the groundbreaking boutique designed for the unique needs of women that she opened in New York City in 1974. Williams, who once said, "vibrators are a girls best friend," is now in her late 80s and still advocates for women's rights and offers a great selection of pleasure playthings, including her top pick: The Rabbit, which remains a best-seller at her store.

My other personal favorites are Claire Cavanaugh and Rachel Venning, founders of Babeland in New York City. Check out the "How to Choose a Sex Toy" section on their well-stocked, ultra-informative website for great tips on deciding which vibrator is right for you.

One last tip: If your wallet allows, buy a few different vibrators and have fun experimenting with your new toys. And don't forget the most important ingredient besides your desires and imagination…lots of lubricant!
