G-spot vibrators are often overlooked. Among so much debate around whether the G-spot actually exists – and whether women can orgasm from penetration and G-spot stimulation alone – many of us push G-spot vibrators aside in favour of other sex toys. Y’know, those clitoral vibrators that are pretty much guaranteed to serve up a speedy orgasm… or your bullet vibrators, rabbit vibrators and wand vibrators. G-spot vibrators can seem intimidating.
But stimulating the G-spot – the pleasure point found between five and eight centimeters up the front vagina wall – can intensify your orgasm and take it to new heights. Enter: our guide to the best G-spot vibrators on the market. ‘Cos having good orgasms is a crucial part of your self-care routine.
There’s a whole plethora of G-spot vibrators on the market right now to help you hit the, well… spot. Some are curved, some are ribbed and some can be used in the shower. Here’s everything you need to know.
Let’s take things one step at a time: what is the G-spot?
Also known as the Gräfenberg spot (named after German-Jewish gynaecologist and early pioneer of sexual health, Ernst Gräfenberg), the G-spot is actually more of a “zone” than one specific spot. It’s an area of tissue that, when stimulated, can be pleasurable for people with vaginas.
The clitoris and G-spot are physically quite close, so this pleasure has more to do with the type of pressure that is being put on the clitoral bulbs and Skene’s glands, rather than any one “spot” in particular. ICYMI: the Skene’s glands are located on either side of the urethra and are thought to be responsible for vaginal secretions during arousal.
While it’s difficult to specify exactly where the G-spot is located, since all vaginal canals are different, when trying to find your own – or someone else’s – you should be aiming for a patch of spongy tissue around five-eight centimeters up the front of the vaginal wall. It swells and becomes sensitive when you’re aroused. You can use your fingers in a “come hither” motion to reach it, applying firm pressure, or you can use one of the best G-spot vibrators from this edit.
And what is a G-spot vibrator? How is a G-spot vibrator different to other kinds of vibrator?
G-spot vibrators are vibrators that are designed specifically for G-spot stimulation. They come in many designs and forms, but the main giveaway is that it’ll have a curved shape or bulbous head to hit the so-called spot. G-spot vibes are, of course, designed to be inserted into the vagina… but the penetration they give isn’t as deep as a dildo, for example. Another key difference? Most basic G-spot vibrators don’t serve up clit stimulation like other types of vibrator do.
If you’ve never used a G-spot vibrator before, you might consider opting for a classic vibrator with a curved tip – like Smile Makers’ The Romantic vibrator. If you know you need both G-spot and clitoral stimulation at the same time, something like the Soraya Wave by LELO should do the trick.
