Exploring Pulse Vibrators: A Guide to Enhancing Your Pleasure

So today’s focus is women’s pleasure. More specifically, how to stimulate the clitoris for earth-shattering orgasms. 

No, really. We aren’t using hyperboles simply to hype you up. The orgasms experienced by those who use pulse vibrators are oftentimes better than any other kind of climax.

Still, perhaps you’re unsure of what a pulse vibrator is, or how they differ from other vibrators. Don’t worry—we’ll cover that and more. 

By the end of this article, you’ll be knowledgeable enough to choose the right pulse vibrator for you, and to experience the endless benefits of coming on the regular.

First things first, though… 

What are pulse vibrators?

Pulse vibrators are sometimes known as “suction sex toys” because they mimic the feeling of being suckled on the clitoris. 

Pulse vibrators use technology to create pulses of air to pull and gently tug on your sweet spot. This, accompanied with intense vibrations, equals a sensation that’s almost (or totally) better than oral sex. 

And while a pulse vibrator focuses on using sonic waves on the clitoris, they can have other sassy functions. For example, it could have a suction function as well as an arm for G-spot stimulation, offering dual pleasure and blended orgasms.

How specific pulse vibrators work will depend on the sex toy company. Each brand uses their own technology and technique to bring you different types of suction, vibration settings and speeds, so depending on which one you go for, results may vary. 

Whichever brand you go for however, each pulse vibrator will have a suction pad/structure that sits inside of a circular nozzle (often called the ‘mouth’). It is from here that pressure waves of bliss are released.

It’s important to note though that pulse vibrators don’t really suck or draw in air. It merely feels as though it is.

Fancy an analogy? Imagine standing in front of a subwoofer at a nightclub. Picture how it vibrates and bumps, leaving you to feel it in your entire body. That’s a great way to describe what it feels like to use a pulse vibrator. 

And yes, while there are some high end pulse vibrators that are worth all the positive praise, others too can induce ultimate pleasure.

In other words, the suction action has changed the game in the realm of women’s sexual pleasure. 

How do they differ from "normal" vibrators?

Now that we’ve answered the question: what is a pulse vibrator, you may be able to deduce how they differ from “normal” vibrators. 

If not, allow us to explain:

A “normal” vibrators is one that doesn’t include the suction action. These types of vibrators simply vibrate with different patterns and intensities, allowing you to experience the thrill via vibrational sensations. 

These types of “normal” or “classic” vibrators can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and functions, and are not really limited to any specifics. 

For example, it could be a g-spot vibrator, a rabbit vibrator, a bullet vibrator and more. 

Basically, if a vibrator does not contain the air suction function, then it’s not a pulse vibrator. 

What does using a pulse vibrator feel like?

Compared to a “normal” vibrators, which feels rumbly, buzzy, or both, a pulse vibrator feels something similar to that of oral sex. It’s a combination of gentle sucking, blowing, pressure, and vibration. And as we mentioned the ‘mouth’ of a pulse vibrator—it is aptly named as it does feel somewhat like a mouth. 

Then, when it comes to the orgasms, they’re usually deeper, more intense, and longer lasting. How is this possible? Pulse vibrators are designed to stimulate parts of the clitoris that the eye can’t actually see. 

Fun fact: the clitoris is structured like a wishbone—we only see the tip. The rest of the clitoris is inside of the vagina. 

So, with a “normal” vibrators, only the tip of the clitoris is stimulated. With a pulse vibrator, the entire clitoris is stimulated. 

How do I know if a pulse vibrator is for me?

We know, the pulse vibrator is nothing short of a dream. But are there some women who may not actually enjoy or benefit from using one? Actually, yes.

You see, because pulse vibrators stimulate the entire clitoris, and they use a different kind of technology that creates a ‘suction’ effect, it may actually be too intense for some.

If you find that you’re very sensitive to other kinds of sex toys, or even when you enjoy manual stimulation, then the pulse vibrator may not be the best sex toy for you.

You could however, use a pulse vibrator without actually making contact with the clitoris. For example, you could hover it over this erogenous zone as it will still stimulate the area. Alternatively, you could hold it against your panties which can act as a useful buffer.

On the other hand, if you find that you enjoy different kinds of vibrators, and like to experience new kinds of pleasure whilst not being too sensitive, we’re certain that a pulse vibrator is for you. 

Getting maximum pleasure out of your pulse vibrator

Once you’ve got a beautiful pulse vibrator in your hands and you’re ready for action, there are a few ways you can maximise your pleasure. 

Of course there is no wrong way to play, but you may want to give these tips and techniques a try for a bit more of a sultry variety. 

• Use it on other erogenous zones such as your nipples, perineum, anus… or another spot that feels good.
• For stronger stimulation, press your pulse vibrator down on your clitoris allowing the mouth to engulf the total area and rotate back and forth.
• For less stimulation, place your pulse vibrator to the side of your clitoris for indirect waves of pleasure.
• Add in a G-spot vibrator or an anal sex toy (if you’ve chosen a clitoris only pulse vibrator) for a blended orgasms.
• Play in the bathtub as it creates a better seal for more stimulation (but make sure your sex toy is 100% waterproof).
• Make sure your pulse vibrator is fully charged before you play (there’s nothing worse than disappointment during self-love).
