In short, you aren’t going to find a more clued-up pair when it comes to answering any and all questions about sex toys, pleasure and sexual wellbeing.
What is an egg vibrator?
First things first, before we delve into the specifics, many of you might be wondering what an egg vibrator actually is. It certainly doesn’t look like other types of vibrators and the idea of inserting something egg-shaped rather than penis-shaped inside of you doesn’t necessarily always scream ‘pleasure’.
So, it’s over to the experts on this one.
“Egg vibrators (or love eggs, as they are sometimes referred to) are, you guessed it, vibrators shaped like eggs. Small and discreet, they fit into the ‘mini vibrator’ category alongside bullet and lipstick designs, but they are much more flexible when it comes to vaginal stimulations,” says Samantha.
“The extra sensations do come from vaginal insertion of this kind of vibrator. Most come with a loop or handle for easy removal. Eggs are often operated via a connected controller or wireless app making them perfect for some handsfree, low-effort masturbating with all the feel-good benefits. Plus, they can be great for partner play – especially couples in long distance relationships.”
Though many people tend to use them vaginally, egg vibrators can actually be used to stimulate erogenous zones all over the body, as Charlotte explains: “You can use them everywhere, including the clitoris, G-spot, and anus for both men and women. It is one of the smaller sex toys and can be used in the bedroom or during the day, left in your underwear and controlled by a remote.”
How do egg vibrators work?
Ok, now we’re all on the same page as to what an egg vibrator is, what about how it works? Of course each brand, and even design, will work in a slightly different way – with varying settings and features – but fundamentally, they are all doing the same thing: ensuring you wave after wave of pleasure, wherever you are and however you’re with.
“The egg vibrators that are designed for internal stimulation are likely designed to hit the G-spot, where pleasure is often derived from a consistent pressure and massage, as opposed to thrusting. So, an egg vibe sitting against the G-spot is going to feel good, especially alongside some external stimulation,” Samantha tells us. “There are also egg-shaped vibes that are exclusively external, and nest into the vulva instead. It’s slightly squidgy, ergonomically designed to need no explanation for partner play, or can sit nestled between your legs for some hands free stimulation whilst your hands explore other places like your breast, chest or stomach.”
“Egg vibrators can be used as a couples toy to provide an extra level of stimulation during intercourse, foreplay, and other sexual activities,” adds Charlotte. “It can be used as a teaser but also due to some being bullet shapes, it can also be used as a dildo during sex also (although for those that do not have a wire or cord attached this is not recommended). Although the egg is commonly thought to be used for the clitoris, it can also be held against the penis, either directly or through clothing, to add extra stimulation during intercourse. Egg vibrators can also be used to provide a gentle massage for both partners.”
