Guide collection
How to choose a vibrator
Size, power, noise, charging, app control and waterproof ratings explained clearly, so you can compare toys with confidence.
Product pages are full of numbers: millimetres, decibels, speeds, patterns, IPX ratings and runtimes. They are genuinely useful, but only once you know what they mean for you. This hub translates each specification into plain English, so you can compare toys calmly and choose one that suits the way you live.
Each guide looks at one thing in depth. You will learn how size and shape change the feel of a toy, what "rumbly" and "buzzy" really mean, how quiet a quiet motor actually is, whether rechargeable or battery suits you better, what app and remote control add, and how to read a waterproof rating without guesswork.
We use real specifications from our own collection throughout, so you can see the differences side by side. For example, the Bijou Classic Bullet is a featherlight classic with ten settings, while the Duet Dual Massage Wand is a dual-motor wand in soft silicone, waterproof to IPX7. Both are lovely; they simply suit different people.
If you would rather compare a few toys directly, our compare tool lines up the specifications for you, and our short quiz suggests three picks based on your answers. However you choose, every order arrives in plain, unbranded packaging, with "BH Commerce Ltd" on your bank statement.
