Choosing your first vibrator can feel exciting, confusing, or even a little intimidating — and that’s completely normal. Most beginners in New Zealand share the same concerns:
What type should I start with? Will it be too strong? Is it safe? Should I shop online or go in-store?
This guide is designed to gently walk you through everything you need to know. It’s based on real questions Seductiva customers ask every day, both online and in our physical stores.
1. Start by Understanding What You Want to Feel
Vibrators generally fall into a few simple categories. Each provides a different type of sensation, and knowing this helps beginners make a confident choice.
Clitoral Vibrators (Most Beginner-Friendly)
These provide external stimulation only, making them ideal for first-time users who want to avoid penetration.
Bullet Vibrators
Small, simple, and easy to use. They’re great if you want something discreet and unintimidating.
Dual-Stimulation Vibrators
These stimulate the inside and outside at the same time. Many people enjoy them after gaining a bit more experience.
Internal Vibrators
These focus on G-spot or internal pleasure. If you're curious but cautious, choose soft silicone and smaller sizes.
2. What Beginners in NZ Commonly Prefer
Based on feedback from Seductiva’s in-store specialists, beginners often choose:
-
Soft, body-safe silicone
-
Mild to medium vibration intensity
-
Smaller or medium-sized designs
-
Simple controls with fewer buttons
-
External stimulation options over internal ones
If you’re unsure what sensation you like, you’re not alone. Most people discover their preferences through gentle exploration.
3. Key Factors to Consider Before Buying
✔ Material
Body-safe silicone is the standard for comfort and safety.
✔ Noise Level
If you live with flatmates or family, quieter models help you relax without worry.
✔ Intensity Levels
Beginners usually do best with 3–8 vibration settings instead of overwhelming power.
✔ Shape
Rounded edges and smooth lines feel less intimidating and more beginner-friendly.
✔ In-Store Guidance
New Zealand customers often prefer seeing the size and shape in person before deciding — which is why in-store support is so valuable.
