It appears that within some communities, the most coveted gift item is, indeed, a vibrator. While adding a touch of sex positivity to your wish list is one thing, have you ever thought about gifting someone you care about the joy of sexual pleasure? It might not have crossed your mind, or perhaps you’re uncertain about the best approach. In a recent Instagram poll, a staggering 79% of participants admitted to never having given a vibrator as a gift.
For those who have ventured into the realm of gifting sexual pleasure, they shared their experiences and who the fortunate recipients were…
It seems that we’re not just limited to treating close friends or besties; we also extend our positive vibes to our group chats. Whether it’s a bridal party or our circle of vulva owners, openly discussing our sexuality collectively is a wonderful way to help people feel at ease when considering self-pleasure – whether it’s a topic discussed openly or in private. If you have a group of friends who enjoy these conversations, why not consider a sexy secret Santa gift exchange?
when choosing a gift for our loved ones is to consider whether it will be their first vibrator.
For partners, it’s a good idea to think about what kind of pleasure you’d like to gift – is it for them alone or something for both of you to explore together? Introducing sex toys into your relationship can unlock new sensations and rekindle your exploration of each other’s bodies.
The most crucial factor to consider when purchasing a vibrator as a gift is your relationship with the recipient and whether you know they would be comfortable and happy to receive one! Dropping hints or engaging in open discussions with our loved ones about sexuality is a good way to gauge their consent. After all, it’s all about bringing a smile to their faces!
Do your research beforehand
Once you’re certain that the fortunate recipient will welcome the positive vibes with open arms, it’s time to do a bit of research!
Is it safe?
When selecting a vibrator, product safety and quality are of utmost importance, particularly when gifting to loved ones. Key factors to consider include whether the material is body-safe, whether it’s waterproof, and whether it’s designed for a vulva-owner’s body.
How is it powered?
The vibrator you’re considering may be rechargeable, which can come at a slightly higher cost, or it might be battery-operated. A helpful tip is to include some batteries in the gift bag so the recipient has everything they need to start enjoying their new toy!
What type of pleasure do they want?
There’s a wide variety of vibrators to choose from, each designed to provide pleasure in different ways. Whether it’s clitoral, vaginal, tongue, g-spot, vulva, or bullet stimulation, think about whether the recipient might be seeking quick satisfaction (hello, clit stim) or a deeper and more sensuous experience.
Is the toy really giftable?
Before choosing a vibrator as a gift, ensure that the unboxing experience for the recipient will be enjoyable, from the outer packaging to the first time they switch on their new self-love tool. In our view, the journey to pleasure should start long before any arousal. We equip each recipient with valuable pleasure knowledge and masturbation tips, along with a guide on how to operate their vibrator. When it comes to the actual vibrations and modes, make sure there are enough options to play around with, allowing them to find one that suits their preferences. Additionally, pay attention to the product descriptions’ sound levels; you don’t want any buzzkill.
Is it effective?
Take the time to read reviews and consider real-user feedback to help determine the right vibrator for your recipient. These are genuine individuals with varied pleasure expectations who can share their personal experiences. You might even take an extra step, gift a vibrator that you already know is good for yourself!
Where to gift a vibrator.
It’s essential to consider the environment in which your recipients will be opening their presents. For instance, some may feel uncomfortable receiving a vibrator at a family gathering, during a dinner party, or among work colleagues. While we encourage sex positivity and open conversations, it’s crucial to be respectful and mindful of the fact that sexual pleasure is a highly personal and intimate experience.
Tip: Consider adding a discreet ‘open in private’ hint on the gift tag to spare any blushing cheeks for their first time using the gift!
