Plastic Vibrator or Jelly Vibrator?

When you are shopping for a vibrator, you might be interested in the vibrator's visual appeal, some vibrators have girlie patterns, some are shiny and textured, some jelly and some plastic. In this article, I will explain the differences between the jelly vibrator and the plastic vibrator.

Plastic Vibrator
These vibrators are made out of smooth, solid, durable high grade plastic. They do not cause much friction when rubbed against the skin so they have a sleek feeling, lubricant is not necessary to enjoy a plastic vibrator. They do not bend or give in any way, and are great for giving concentrated vibrations right where you want them. The plastic causes the vibrations to be spread out powerfully throughout the vibrator, even the handle will vibrate! The sensations can be quite overwhelming - or wonderful, if that's what you like! Thankfully, these vibrators are multi-speed so you can chose the intensity that is right for you. Some women say that plastic vibrators are uncomfortable when used for penetration. With proper cleaning and care (wash with mild antibacterial soap and water, dry and store in a cool place), your plastic vibrator will endure years of use. Do not drop it becuase they can crack.

Jelly Vibrator
These vibrators are made out of a soft, jelly mold material. They can have a mild scent and feel sort of 'sticky', but this is natural. The squishy feel is warm and caressing, and the soft texture is very comfortable for penetration, some jelly vibrators even feel better then a penis. The vibrations received from a jelly vibrator are softer because the vibrations disperse through the thick material, think of it as a dildo that lightly vibrates becuase that's basically what a jelly vibrator is. The material is usually hygenically superior but becuase it is jelly, it is quite porous so proper care of your vibrator (wash with mild antibacterial soap and water, dry and store in a cool place) is essential to your health and the longevity of the vibrator. It is suggested to use water based lubricant with a jelly vibrator because the material does not 'give' on the skin very well and can cause too much uncomfortable friction.

There are no better reasons for chosing a plastic vibrator versus a jelly vibrator, every woman is different and has diffent tastes but this might help to clarify the differences becuase seeing a picture does not do justice to how it feels on the skin. Happy vibrator shopping!
