In the not-too-distant-past, rabbit vibes came in one style, and one style only - a straight, usually penis-shaped shaft with a little bunny stimulator curling up from below. While the shaft provided pleasurable penetration, the rabbit’s ears would flicker and flutter, tickling the user’s clitoris and other outer sweet spots. This unique, double-the-pleasure design definitely helped the classic rabbit vibe gain lots of popularity in the late 90s and early 2000s, but it wasn’t neccessarily the perfect sex toy - yet.
Since it's not-so-humble beginnings, the rabbit vibrator has remained a bedroom staple for many pleasure craving people. Although the core design has remained much the same, many toy designers have jumped on board to improve the vibrator that Oprah once called “the Rolls Royce of sex toys.”
While having lots of options means that you can choose something tailored to you, the question remains - how do you find the best rabbit vibrator for you?
Hop along with us as we explore all the rabbit vibe choices you have in today’s booming sex toy market. First, we’ll discuss the basic schematics of how rabbit vibrators work, so you’ll know what to expect. Next, we’ll help you decipher all the differences in features like tickler placement, shaft shapes, overall sizes, vibrations, and even materials. Finally, we’ll help you pick the best rabbit vibrator to fit your budget.
Not Your Average Bunny – How the Best Rabbit Vibrator Gives You a Thumping-Good Time
In the very simplest of terms, a rabbit vibrator is a vibrator that stimulates both internally and externally. The shaft, or penetrator, is inserted, while an outer appendage (usually a bunny, but sometimes not) angles up from below to stimulate the clitoris and other outer erogenous zones. Sure, it probably didn’t take a rocket-scientist to figure out that many vagina-owners enjoy internal and external stimulation simultaneously. But straight out of the gate, the earliest rabbit vibrators didn’t have it quite right.
For example, some early models contained rotating beads (or “pearls”) in the shaft for extra internal pleasure. They felt good, but didn’t do much in terms of g-spot stimulation. At first, most rabbits also weren’t particularly balanced, vibration-wise. Many included vibration in the shaft alone, and relied on residual buzzes to move the outer tickler. As we now know, clitoral stimulation should never be an afterthought!
While those initial rabbit vibrators definitely rocked the sex toy industry at the time, we’re very thankful that our beloved orgasm-inspiring bunnies have improved dramatically over the years, both in form and in function.
Today’s modern rabbit vibrators provide better, balanced on-the-spot inner and outer stimulation, and share the same end goal - an amazing blended orgasm. What’s a blended orgasm, you ask? This type of head-board rattling, stars-seeing, forget-your-own-name orgasm usually stems from simultaneous g-spot, or internal and clitoral, or outer stimulation. Double the pleasure, as they say!
More to Love – the Variety of Rabbit Vibes
Not only have the best rabbit vibrators evolved to make you or your partner feel as good as possible, they’ve also been designed to attract your eye. Hey, it never hurts to stand out from the crowd, especially when there are so many great rabbit vibes on the market! True, some of those eye-catching designs are simply meant to hook you as you’re scrolling, but many more are orgasmically functional, too. When shopping for your new rabbit vibe, look out for:
Shaft Shape
Some rabbits feature a straight shaft. Others come with a slight or more dramatic curve meant to better target your g-spot and other inner erogenous zones. The tip might also be enlarged or swollen to provide extra sweet spot contact. Some rabbit vibe shafts don’t sport any bells or whistles at all, while others are highly textured, or even beaded. A few rabbits even feature a detailed phallic (penis-shaped) shaft.
Thrusting and Rotation
While we’re on the topic of shafts, we need to talk about thrusting and rotation! Rabbit vibes that feature one or both of these functions can offer you or your partner a whole different experience compared to what you’ll feel with simple vibration. A thrusting rabbit vibe will have the means and mechanisms to propel its shaft up and down, while a rotating rabbit vibe will showcase a shaft that spins and gyrates. If you love the sensation of a penetrator moving inside you, look for a thrusting or rotating rabbit vibrator.
Types of External Ticklers
As per the rabbit vibe’s now-famous name, a cute little bunny shape is what you’ll often see below a rabbit vibe’s shaft. That said, there are tons of other shapes to choose from, like butterflies, dolphins, even simple curves.
This sexy stimulator is something you’ll probably want to pay special attention to. Look at how it functions, keeping your preferences in mind. Does it feature multiple modes and speeds of vibration? Or maybe it sucks - in a good way. Many rabbit vibrator designers have tuned into the pleasure power of suction, or air pulse stimulation, so some newer rabbit vibes boast a sexy suction or pressure feature. If you’re into double-penetration, some rabbit vibes have that desire covered, too with an anal stimuator added in.
Does Size Matter? Rabbit Vibes Big and Small
When you’re considering the size of the best rabbit vibrator for you, know this: it’s all about preference! Some people like a thicker, fuller penetrator, while others like a smaller, sleeker shaft. When shopping, take the time to compare the dimensions listed on each vibrator you’re considering.
Keep in mind that size isn’t everything. A rabbit vibe’s shaft shape is important, too. Some shafts feature an enlarged tip, or a dramatic curve or angle, which can help provide more direct contact with your or your partner’s g-spot and other inner pleasure zones. Depending on which type of sensation you’re chasing, shaft shape can definitely matter.
Take a close look at that external tickler’s size and placement, too. If you enjoy deep, filling shaft penetration, look for a tickler that’s placed lower down, or one that’s flexible, and can be moved out of the way. The same rules apply in reverse, too. If you’re not into deep penetration, look for a higher-placed tickler.
Speaking of flexibility, many newer rabbit vibrators are being designed with much more of it. As we know, not all bodies are the same, and the placement of our individual clitorises, g-spots and other inner and outer erogenous zones vary. A rabbit with lots of flexibility can be shaped and customized to align even more directly and pleasurably with your sweet spots.
In short (or long), there’s no right or wrong answer when it comes to how big or small you like your rabbit vibe. Finding a shape, size and style that fits your body and your preferences is much more important.
Vibration Patterns vs. Vibration Intensities
When you’re shopping for any sex toy, whether it’s a clitoral stimulator, a cock ring or a butt plug, vibration is a feature you’ll want to keep an eye on, but this is especially true of rabbit vibrators.The way the toy buzzes, rumbles, or thumps can make a big difference. Understanding the difference between vibration intensity and vibration patterns can help you pick out the best rabbit vibrator for you.
Vibration Patterns - Can You Feel the Rhythm?
Most rabbit vibrators these days come preloaded with a plethora of vibration modes, rhythms, and other special settings for you to choose from. Many feature separate motors in the shaft and tickler portions, which lets you fully customize sensation inside and out. Have a look through the description of any vibe you’re checking out, making sure to take stock of the available vibration options.
Vibration Intensities – Do You Feel the Need for Speed?
Many rabbit vibes nowadays are easy to customize in terms of vibration intensity. Even if you’re not into having a zillion vibration patterns to choose from, having some control over speed or intensity of the modes available is a must-have feature for many people. Again, check the specs of the vibe you’re eying to see what speeds you’ll have to work with.
What Bunnies are Made of – No Fluff Here!
The material(s) making up your sex toys is always an important thing to consider, no matter which erotic category you’re browsing. In the first few years of their popularity, many rabbit vibes were made with a soft, jelly-like plastic. Although it felt good, it wasn’t the most body-safe option. Luckily, the sex toy industry has come a long way since then, and safety is something that reputable toy designers take very seriously. These days, the best rabbit vibes are made with outstanding materials, primarily high-quality silicone.
Silicone
We normally don’t like to play favourites, but silicone is an exception! This hypoallergenic, odour-free and extra hygienic material stars in many of our best-selling rabbits, and for good reason. Aside from that fact that it’s body safe and easy to clean, silicone also feels fantastic. Silicone sex toys can be nice and firm for precision massage, or plushy and soft, mimicking the touch of real flesh.
Silicone is naturally hygienic and non-porous. Before and after enjoying your silicone rabbit vibe or other sex toy, clean it using your choice of high quaility sex toy cleanser or some sudsy warm water. The one downfall of silicone is that you can’t use it with silicone-based lubes. Silicone reacts with itself, so a silicone lubricant or close contact with another silicone toy can cause surface and structure damage. Store your silicone rabbit away from other silicone and soft toy materials, and always use a water-based lube.
ABS Plastic
You’ll generally see ABS plastic used for the bases, handles and buttons of rabbit vibes and other sex toys. Some rabbits, though, might feature ABS plastic as part of their shaft or tickler portion, too. This material is generally safe to use with all lubricants and is very easy to clean.
Jelly
TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) and TPR (thermoplastic rubber) are softer, sometimes jelly-like materials. These newer jellies are much safer than their older, phthalate-containing counterparts, so rest easy. Look for ‘phthalate free’ in the description of any toy you’re perusing online or in-store to be sure.
Keep in mind that although these materials are now safer to use in and around your body, they’re also quite porous, should not be shared, and need to be cleaned carefully. They also don’t last as long, in most cases, as the material can break down over time. If you ever notice any damage to the surface of your TPR and TPE sex toys, it’s time to retire them.
Metal and Glass
Due to the nature of their design, you’re probably not likely to find a rabbit vibe made entirely of metal or glass, but some may feature glass or metal components. These materials make great sex toys because they are extremely body safe, ultra durable, easy to clean and compatible with all lubes.
