The Mellow collection includes external, internal, combined, and universal whole-body stimulators. The catalog of sex store presents the 10 best types of clitoral and vaginal vibrators for mind-blowing orgasms:

  6. The Artist

Females anatomically and physiologically have the greatest concentration of nerve endings in the clitoris, vagina, anus, and nipples. Certainly, every woman is unique and amazing in her ways of gaining pleasure. Some ladies prefer clitoral orgasms with external stimulation, others like the blissful experience of deep vaginal orgasms. Also, anal induction can give women unforgettable impressions from delicate to intensive and powerful.

The Tennis Pro is the targeted G-spot vibrator. The rounded head and flexible neck allow precise satisfaction, making it easy to discover dip pleasure points of the vagina. The Tennis Pro can also be used for external stimulation and wonderful clitoral playing.

The Artist is one of the most popular combined vibrators. The rabbit form allows the stimulation of more nerve endings on and around the clitoral glans and provides a throbbing massage on the G-spot in the vagina. Also, this type of sex toy caresses the entrance to the vulva.

It’s necessary to note that the division of orgasms into different types is conventional. Modern knowledge of anatomy and physiology sheds light on the architecture of female pleasure.

In 2005, an Australian professor of urology, Helen O'Connell published a paper based on an MRI study of the clitoris. It turned out that the G-point, as a sensitive area inside the vagina, is the articulation of the legs of the clitoris in reality. Touching the point on the front of the vagina simply stimulates the clitoris only from the inside. 

Pioneer in the anatomical study of the clitoris, Helen O'Connell, explained that this organ is a super-sensitive point in the female body. The clitoris contains over 6 million nerves, therefore correct internal or external clitoral stimulation provides 100% orgasm.

Male vibrator types

There are a lot of types of sex toys to satisfy every man's desire. Male vibrators are presented in a variety of models with different shapes, sizes, and materials. Here's a list of the most popular sex items among men:

Orgasm stimulators for men may imitate a mouth or a vagina, giving the incomparable feeling of a blow job or sex. Indirect stimulation of the prostate is realized during anal penetration. Butt vibrators, known as prostate massagers, can bring unique orgasmic sensations.

The Mellow collection presents male vibrators and butt plugs for anal satisfaction. The Neighbor is an internal anal stimulator, developed by studying anal and pelvic anatomy with insights from sexual health experts. This model has a friendly design and is the best for right anal adventure – its rounded tip and size ensure easy insertion, while the bulbous body provides a satisfyingly full sensation for solo or partnered sex. When using butt vibrators, don’t forget about lubricants to add more pleasure.

Partners play with vibrators

Sexologists and psychotherapists with expertise in human physiology recommend couples use vibrators for a better understanding of each other and to fill the inner beauty of different erotic sensations. Married couples and partners who have been together for a long time can add sex toys to rekindle the sparks of passion and fall in love with each other again.

Through our practical knowledge, couple vibrators increase sexual excitement, even if you just anticipate playing with toys together. The Mellow assortment offers the most harmonious models for partner sex:

During the foreplay and sex sessions, try to pay attention to the more erogenous zones of your partner. Start with kisses and petting to pamper and warm each other up.

Remember that the breasts are a very sensitive zone of the female body. Our findings from different published articles show that a nipple orgasm is possible through stimulation. Try new types of pleasure in your couple's sex sessions. Ensure that your sex toy is fully charged before use.

Each nipple has hundreds of nerve endings, making them super sensitive. There are many techniques and toys you can use on your nipples to stimulate an orgasm. You can use a gentle whole-body vibrator like The French Lover or more intensive Pleasure Perfect Pal for playing with nipples and bringing a lot of pleasure.

Gentle clitoral vibrators, such as The Whisperer are suitable for new moms and anyone who’s experienced a pause in pleasure.

Butt vibrators are suitable for men and women. The Neighbor as a vibrator for couples takes to new levels for partner play and exploration of anal sex. 

Different super-silent vibrators in the Mellow collection have potent vibration technology, providing a range of intensities to suit your mood and erogenous points.

Health benefits of vibrators

Vibrators help enhance sexual pleasure and can stimulate orgasm. In research studies, vibrator use has been shown to make it easier to achieve orgasms and increase the capacity for orgasms. The benefits of masturbation are neurotransmitter production – dopamine, oxytocin, vasopressin, and endorphins. These molecules are the makers of delightful orgasmic sensations. Oxytocin causes a soft and relaxed mood after sex. Produced during the vibration stimulation, regular portions of dopamine ensure the prevention of neurodegenerative disorders and dementia.

Solo-love with using a vibrator helps women and men have fun during periods of loneliness without a close relationship. Sexologists can recommend vibrators not only for medical reasons but also for psychological ones. Erotic toys relieve liberation and encourage shy people to express themselves during a couple's sex.
