Health and Safety Considerations

Overuse and Pain: Overuse of a clit vibrator can cause pain and discomfort. Aside from that, using a clit vibrator too much may also cause some side effects, such as temporary redness or swelling. If you experience any of these, stop using it for a while, take breaks as needed, and be wary to avoid using it for extended periods.

Numbness: Using a clit vibrator for too long or with too much pressure can cause numbness in the clitoris. This can be uncomfortable, although the temporary numbness or discomfort you feel from excessive stimulation generally fades away naturally over time. But if the numbing sensations persist, you might want to contact your primary physician.

Desensitize: Many women fear that vibrator use can cause desensitization of the clitoris over time, but this is just a myth. They do not cause changes in a woman’s hormones nor damage the nerves of a clit, which are often the culprits behind difficulty reaching female orgasm or desensitization. Although some sort of numbness may occur due to overstimulation or using it in a high setting, this should go away after giving yourself a rest.
