They look similar, but belong in two different product categories in adult online shops: Dildos and vibrators differ in a few factors and both have their advantages and disadvantages. We'll show you the differences between the two sex toys in an overview and which one is better suited to your needs.

The differences between dildos and vibrators

Both dildos and vibrators belong to the classic sex toys. In their most popular shape, both roughly resemble a penis, i.e. they are elongated and usually have a thicker shaft and a thinner tip. As a rule, a clear distinction is made between these two sextoys, but sometimes a vibrator is also referred to as a vibrating dildo. A dildo therefore represents both the super-category of phallic sex toys and the simple version without an electrically operated motor.

Dildo vibrator shape mostly elongated / phallic elongated / phallic, oval, round, lipstick-shaped, animal figures, ect. electric no yes waterproof almost always (except wooden dildos) not always, but newer models are usually ready for immediate use yes no, as long as the battery is not charged or the batteries are empty.Materials silicone, glass, stainless steel, plastic, rubber, wood, stone silicone , Plastic, rubber, stainless steel

As you can see, both sex toys have their advantages and disadvantages and therefore both have their raison d'etre. Whether a dildo or vibrator is more suitable for you depends on the type of stimulation you are standing. If you only want to get one of the two, we recommend a classic vibrator, as this can still be used as a dildo with an empty battery or empty batteries. In terms of price, there are hardly any differences between the toys. You can get cheap dildos at Eis.de from 3.99 euros, simple vibrators from 2.99 euros.

Who is a dildo for?

A dildo is perfect for anyone who likes penetration when masturbating. If dildos are slightly bent, this is the ideal way to stimulate your G-spot. A dildo is also the better choice if you often forget to charge your sex toys or equip them with batteries: your dildo is always ready for use! But they are less suitable for external massage of your clitoris.

Who is a vibrator suitable for?

Thanks to its vibration function, a vibrator is particularly suitable for external clitoral stimulation. If you can only orgasm while your clitoris is being massaged, a vibrator or pressure wave vibrator is a better choice. If you prefer external use without penetrating the vagina, it does not have to be an elongated or even penis-shaped model. Oval or rounded lay-on vibrators usually fit better to your body shape:

The vibration function can also be perceived as pleasant internally. If you want to stimulate your G-spot, you should use an appropriately shaped G-spot vibrator.
