The rabbit vibrator is one of the most popular and often requested sex toys on the market due, in large part, to its pop-culture notoriety; a reputation so well earned that this vibrator has become an entire sex toy genre in itself. Catapulted to stardom in a 1998 episode of Sex and the City, the rabbit has become synonymous with female orgasm, sexual autonomy, and reliability. It’s no wonder Oprah’s O Magazine dubbed it the "Rolls Royce of vibrators". But what is a rabbit vibrator, does it actually work, and how do you use a rabbit vibrator?
Rabbit Vibrators and The Blended Orgasm
To understand the appeal of rabbit vibrators, we first need to talk about blended orgasms. A blended orgasm combines a vaginal orgasm and a clitoral orgasm. By combining external pleasure from clitoral stimulation with deep internal pleasure from g-spot and vaginal stimulation, a blended orgasm creates sensations that can be felt all over the body, inside and out. Although some people consider blended orgasms to be 2-in-1 orgasms, the vulva and vagina are not totally separate from each other. The clitoris is a wishbone-shaped organ that has legs that extend deep into the body, reaching around the sides of the urethral sponge, aka, the g-spot. With that in mind, it makes sense that many people with vulvas have an easier time achieving orgasm through penetration when they also have clitoral stimulation.
Blended orgasms are, simply put, orgasms that happen because the vulva and vagina are enveloped in stimulation both at the same time. Orgasmic perfection.
This is where the rabbit vibrator comes in! Since the release of the first rabbit vibrator in 1983, rabbit vibrators have seen many changes including design updates and technological upgrades. But the basic structure of all rabbit vibrators remains the same: they combine an insertable shaft for g-spot fun and a shorter vibrating arm for clit fun. These dual-action vibrators are customer favorites because they offer the possibility of blended orgasm, or all-over pleasure.
Many of the first rabbits were made from dangerous porous materials, and featured rotating shafts, pearls, and huge battery packs. Je Joue’s Fifi completely redefines the rabbit. It’s made of 100% body-safe non-porous silicone, has 3 rumbly motors for intense vibration, and it has an integrated small rechargeable battery.
Fifi is designed with pleasure in mind. It has a slim shape that is curved gently for g-spot stimulation, and two long flexible “rabbit ears” that each house an individual motor. Clitoral Bliss!
Because the clitoris houses about 8,000 nerve endings, some people prefer to only use the rabbit ears for external clit stimulation, or to combine the external vibration with other internal toys, penises or hand sex. The Je Joue Rabbit Bullet is a great alternative for folks who prefer to customize their blended stimulation. This little bullet features Je Joue’s rumbly vibrations in a compact and portable bullet body. It’s also great for those who experience vaginal sensitivity, as the ears can provide an extremely gentle, almost tickling sensation when on the lowest vibration setting.
How to use a rabbit vibrator solo
First off, there is no WRONG way to use a rabbit vibrator - as long as what you’re doing feels good for you. Use your imagination to explore the plethora of ways to use your rabbit. In your exploration, try to focus on what different sensations feel good and separate this from the pressure of reaching orgasm as fast as possible. I guarantee that this is the best way to unlock new levels of orgasmic pleasure
To get started with your exploration, here are some of our favorite tips for how to use a rabbit vibrator…
- Use plenty of lube: Even if your body produces a lot of lubrication, adding lube helps to keep things slick and comfortable, and helps carry vibration smoothly throughout the body internally and externally.
- Start with external stimulation: Before you insert the shaft of your rabbit, try using the ears of your vibrator on the clit. You can start the vibrations at a low setting and increase gradually to build up sensation. You can also use the shaft to stimulate the vulva and vaginal opening before exploring internally.
- Insert the shaft and find the depth of penetration and motion that works best for you: all bodies are different, and everyone’s erogenous zones are unique. Insert your rabbit slowly and play around with the depth of penetration until you find the angles that work best for you. Increase and decrease the intensities and try out the different patterns. You can thrust your rabbit in and out, rock it from side to side or back and forth, or just keep it steady.
- Try different positions: Some people prefer to lay on their backs when they use their rabbit, while others like laying on their bellies and grinding on the rabbit ears. Others might prefer standing, kneeling or sitting while using their rabbit vibrator.
- Explore the back door: Unlike slimline vibrators that don’t have a flared base, rabbit vibrators feature an external arm that can help keep the vibrator from getting lost in the rectum. Make sure your vibe is made of a non-porous material that won’t harbor bacteria so it’s easy to clean up and safe to use the next time you want to insert it vaginally. You can also put a condom on your rabbit to make clean up easier. Inserting your rabbit anally and pointing the rabbit ears toward the front of the body will both stimulate your g-spot indirectly and bring added stimulation to your taint!
How to use a rabbit vibrator with a partner
Sex toys can enhance your partnered play in many different ways. Here are some good starting points for incorporating your rabbit vibrator into sex with a partner:
- Invite your partner to watch you use your rabbit: Watching a partner indulge in solo sexual pleasure can be super sexy! It also gives your partner an idea of what feels good for your body. Using toys in front of each other is a great way to incorporate something new into your sex life while learning what makes your partner tick!
- Share your rabbit vibrator with your partner: Regardless of anatomy, vibration can feel good on different erogenous zones. Try using your rabbit on your partner’s sensitive spots, whether that’s on the shaft of the penis, on the vulva, or internally.
- Incorporate your rabbit vibrator externally while you explore other types of stimulation: Flip your rabbit vibrator around so you’re using the ears on your clit while you and your partner explore other types of play or penetration. Because bullets are more compact, they can fit more comfortably between two bodies during different types of sex. Try using your Rabbit Bullet instead of your dual-action vibrator for external stimulation. You don’t have to relegate the rabbit just to the clit. The fluttery ears also feel good on the nipples, labia, or along any sensitive spots like the neck or ears.
- Give your partner control of your rabbit: Hand your partner your rabbit vibrator and let them explore, tease, and reward you with different intensities and angles.
Rabbit vibrators are classic sex toys because the possibilities for using them are so vast. Have fun exploring different ways of using your rabbit on your own or with a partner!
