A rabbit vibrator can look a little complicated the first time you take it out of the box. It has two arms, several buttons and often more settings than you expect. This guide explains how to use a rabbit vibrator, from learning the controls to finding the right angle and caring for the toy afterwards. It is written for adults with a vulva who are new to rabbits or want to get more from one they already own.
The Short Answer
To use a rabbit vibrator, learn the controls first, then add water-based lube to the shaft. Start with only the clitoral arm on a low setting. When you feel relaxed and aroused, slowly insert the shaft until the arm rests on the clitoris. Then adjust each motor separately. Go at your own pace, and wash the rabbit vibrator after every use.
What Is a Rabbit Vibrator?
A rabbit vibrator is a dual-stimulation toy. It has a main shaft for internal use and a smaller external arm, often shaped like rabbit ears, that rests on the clitoris. Many models have two separate motors, so you can control the inside and outside sensations independently. You can see the many shapes and styles in our range of rabbit vibrators.
The Parts of a Rabbit Vibrator
- The shaft: The internal part. Many are gently curved towards the front wall of the vagina, where the G-spot area is.
- The clitoral arm: The external part. Some are flexible, so you can bend them to fit your body.
- The controls: Usually two or three buttons in the handle. One often controls the shaft and another the arm.
Different Kinds of Rabbit
Classic rabbits simply vibrate. However, some models also rotate, thrust or use pulses of air on the clitoris. If you are curious about movement, our thrusting vibrators range includes rabbits with a moving shaft. For a first rabbit, a simple vibrating model makes it easier to learn how to use a rabbit vibrator.
How to Use a Rabbit Vibrator: Step by Step
These steps show how to use a rabbit vibrator comfortably the first few times. Afterwards, you can change the order to suit yourself.
- Charge it and learn the buttons: First, charge the toy fully. Then try every setting in your hand, so you can find the off button without looking.
- Relax and warm up: Arousal makes insertion more comfortable. So take your time with touch, a bath or anything that helps you unwind.
- Add lube: Apply water-based lube to the shaft and a little to the clitoral arm.
- Start outside: Turn on only the clitoral arm at a low setting. Hold it against the vulva and clitoris first.
- Insert slowly: When you feel ready, insert the tip of the shaft slowly. Stop if anything feels uncomfortable, and add more lube if needed.
- Line up the arm: Push in gradually until the arm rests on the clitoris. Bend it slightly if the fit is not quite right.
- Adjust each motor: Then raise the shaft and arm settings one at a time until you find a combination you enjoy.
Finding the Right Angle
Bodies vary, so knowing how to use a rabbit vibrator partly means finding your own angle. If it misses the clitoris, try inserting the shaft a little less or more. Also, try tilting the handle up or down. Lying on your back with your knees bent gives you good control. Alternatively, a pillow under your hips can change the angle.
Ways to Use a Rabbit Vibrator
Once you know how to use a rabbit vibrator in the basic way, there are other ideas to explore.
- External only: Use just the clitoral arm, like a small clitoral vibrator. This works well on days when you do not want penetration.
- Internal only: Switch off the arm and focus on the shaft. A curved shaft can be angled towards the front wall for G-spot stimulation.
- Alternating: Move between the arm and the shaft, then combine them. Many people enjoy this slower build-up.
- With a partner: A partner can hold the toy and control the settings during foreplay. Agree first what you both want, and keep checking in.
How to Use a Rabbit Vibrator Comfortably and Keep It Clean
Because the shaft goes inside the body, comfort and hygiene are a key part of how to use a rabbit vibrator. Use plenty of lube and never force the shaft. If you feel pain, stop. If pain, bleeding or discomfort continues, speak to a GP, pharmacist or sexual health clinic.
Water-based lube is usually the safest starting point. Silicone-based lube can damage some silicone toys, so check the product guidance first. Our water-based lubricants work with most toy materials.
After each use, wash the rabbit with warm water and mild, unscented soap, or use a product from our sex toy cleaners range. Check whether it is fully waterproof before rinsing the handle. The sexual health charity Brook's guide to sex toys and aids advises using a new condom on a toy for each different person. It also suggests checking toys regularly for scratches or tears.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a rabbit vibrator good for beginners?
A rabbit vibrator can suit beginners, especially a model with a slim shaft and simple controls. However, it does combine internal and external stimulation, which can feel like a lot at first. If you are unsure, start by using only the clitoral arm. Then add penetration when you feel comfortable.
Why doesn't the clitoral arm reach my clitoris?
The distance between the vaginal opening and the clitoris varies from person to person. As a result, a rabbit's arm may sit too high or too low. Try inserting the shaft less deeply, tilting the handle or bending a flexible arm. If it still does not fit, a rabbit with a longer or more adjustable arm may suit you better.
Can I use a rabbit vibrator in the shower?
You can use a rabbit vibrator in the shower only if the product page says it is fully waterproof. Splash-proof toys should not be submerged or held under running water. Also, remember that water washes lube away. So reapply it often, or use a silicone-based lube only if the toy's guidance allows it.
How long does a rabbit vibrator last?
How long a rabbit vibrator lasts depends on the materials, the motor and how well you look after it. Clean it after every use, store it dry and avoid letting the battery drain completely for long periods. Replace the toy if the surface cracks, tears or becomes sticky, because damaged surfaces are harder to keep clean.
Choose Your Rabbit Vibrator
In short, how to use a rabbit vibrator well comes down to learning the controls, using plenty of lube and taking things slowly. Start with the clitoral arm, then add the shaft when you are ready.
