Rabbit Vibrator Defined
We use the word “rabbit” loosely. A rabbit vibrator is any vibrator that has a shaft for internal stimulation, buttons that control vibrations and functions and their intensity, and a clitoral stimulator that is attached to the shaft. Although the original Rabbit Vibrator did have a rabbit shape, now the clitoral stimulator is in the shape of a rabbit, bird, dolphin, squirrel, among other options.
Rabbits, Vibration, and the Female Orgasm
The clitoris is the female equivalent of the penis, making it the most sensitive erogenous zone of a woman. Because it contains over 8,000 nerve endings, the stimulation of the clitoris may produce an orgasm. Early studies of female orgasm separated orgasms into two categories: the clitoral orgasm, which is orgasm reached from clitoral stimulation and the vaginal orgasm, which is orgasm reached from internal stimulation. Lately, however, new studies have been showing that vaginal orgasms may actually be linked to clitoral orgasms, meaning that the clitoris is really the main point of orgasm in women (Wikipedia). No two women are alike in their anatomy and their likes and dislikes, however, and some women prefer vaginal stimulation to clitoral stimulation. But most women who stimulate the clitoris and the vagina at the same time end up having fantastic orgasms. Rabbit vibrators are a great way to achieve that dual stimulation.
How to Use a Rabbit Vibe
Usually, the shaft of the rabbit vibe is inserted vaginally for internal stimulation, while the rabbit-shaped clitoral stimulator tantalizes the external labia, clitoris, and surrounding areas. Depending on the type of rabbit that you own, your shaft may wiggle, rotate, or thrust. Various buttons are available for you to control the intensity of the vibrations as well as any other function that you rabbit vibe may have. A good rule of thumb is to play with the controls on the rabbit vibe before you insert it so you know exactly what to expect. Also, you may want to begin with the lower speeds and vibration intensity and work your way up to higher speeds the closer you reach climax. We recommend that you use plenty of personal lubricant when you are playing with your rabbit vibrator. Whether you are new to rabbits or are an experienced rabbit user, lubing up your toy with ensure that you have a pleasant experience leading to an incredible orgasm. A good lube choice is the Better Sex Essentials® Gel Lubricant because it can be used with any toy, no matter if it’s made of silicone or rubber, and it stays where you put it. For variety, check out a sample pack like the Better Sex Essentials® Ultimate Collection.
A Brief History of Rabbit Vibes
Rabbit vibrators are relatively new to the sex toy scene, having been around for only about a decade. The original rabbit vibe is the Vibratex Rabbit Pearl, from which all of today’s rabbits sprung. Rabbit vibes gained extreme notoriety after the Rabbit Pearl was mentioned in season 1 episode 9 of HBO’s Sex and the City series (Wikipedia) and as with anything that gets featured in a popular TV series or movie, the rabbit vibrator made its way into mainstream pop culture. And that’s a great thing, because now women have more access to pleasurable sex toys that provide dual stimulation than ever before.

Traditional Rabbit Vibes These vibrators usually have a phallic-looking shaft, a small rabbit-or other animal-shaped protrusion for clitoral stimulation, and buttons on the base to control the vibrator’s functions.

G-Spot Rabbit Vibes
While most traditional rabbits can be maneuvered to hit your G spot for extra stimulation, there are rabbit out there made with G spot stimulation in mind. These rabbits tend to have a small bend at the tip of the shaft specifically for hitting the G spot.
The best way to find your G-spot is to lie on your back with your knees bent. Putting a pillow under your lower back may make you more comfortable. Insert a finger or hooked vibrator into your vagina. Curve your finger or the tip of the vibe towards your belly button. The G-spot is located about 1 ½ to 3 inches inside. The pea-shaped spot feels like a sponge. G-spot stimulation can lead to incredibly intense orgasms.

Triple Stimulation Rabbit Vibes
All Rabbit vibes offer dual stimulation for both the G-spot or vagina and the clitoris, but triple stimulation rabbit vibes have the benefit of an added stimulator for anal pleasure as well.
The anus is filled with nerve endings just waiting to be pleasured. More and more couples are discovering the pleasures of anal stimulation. If you have interest in exploring anal pleasures, an anal vibrator or a rabbit vibrator with an anal stimulator may be a great place to start. Much like the clitoris, simplest vibrations can bring intense pleasure to the anus.
Before exploring this new world of intimacy, there are several things you should know. First, always use a lot of lubrication. Second, begin anal play slowly. Even external stimulation of the opening of the anus with your finger, tongue, or a vibrator can be pleasurable.

Care and Cleaning
Now that you have chosen the rabbit that works best for you, it’s important to take care of your new toy if you want your new gadget to last for many satisfactory experiences. Proper cleaning and care is a must. Here are some simple guidelines: If using a battery operated vibrator, remove the batteries when not in use. This will guarantee that the batteries do not leak potentially destroying the motor. And with many remote controls, you must remove the battery or the battery power may drain. Always clean your toys after use. Most vibrators can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Do not fully emerge or soak your toys, and never put them in the dishwasher. Some easy cleaning options include using an anti-bacterial sex toy cleaner such as the Better Sex Essentials Toy Cleaner. Read your user packet that accompanies your vibrator to see its specific needs.
