Choosing Your First Vibrator When You’re Over 50

Choosing Your First Vibrator When You’re Over 50

Vibrators have become mainstream with young women today, but for those of us in our fifties and beyond, for most of our lives, they were still a taboo topic and sold only in seedier stores that we were too embarrassed to enter.

We are grateful to the ladies from Sex and the City who put rabbit vibes on every woman's radar. It made it okay to have a healthy dialogue about sex toys with our girlfriends. Shows like Grace and Frankie have championed the idea that women want and deserve orgasms, no matter their age.

If you have never used a vibrator, we are here to walk you through some of the more common types that we recommend depending on your wants and needs. Start with what you think appeals to you and then you can explore from there. There are so many styles, we have no doubt that you'll find one that works well for your body.

  • Powerful direct clitoral stimulation
  • Rechargeable, powerful, plastic with a silicone grip makes it easy to clean
  • Strong clitoral orgasms for those who don’t want an insertable toy due to vaginal discomfort
  • Easily fits between two bodies 

Drawbacks:

  • It is small and sleek so if you have mobility issues with your hands, this is probably not the vibrator for you


The Magic Wand Original or the Magic Wand Rechargeable

Benefits:

  • Incredibly powerful, which is great if you have trouble reaching orgasm
  • External only so it’s perfect for those with vaginal discomfort
