What Is A Tongue Vibrator?
Tongue vibrators are, simply put, a sex toy that uses sucking, air-blowing, and tongue-like massaging to simulate oral sex.
How Does A Tongue Vibrator Work?
Vibrators were created for the more sensitive parts of our body to increase sensitivity and bring the possibility of reaching orgasm within reach. They make use of a combination of vibration and a variety of other functions, including suction, air-blowing, pin-point massaging, and more, to recreate the feeling of oral sex.
Although these toys aren’t designed for penetrative sex, using them on your vulva and labia can provide a sensation indistinguishable from oral sex, making them a perfect fit for any ladies — single or otherwise — whose pussies crave extra attention.
Do They Feel Good?
In short, yes. Tongue vibrators are created to provide all the best aspects of oral sex, so if you enjoy head, this vibe style should be a perfect fit.
Depending on the model you choose, you can expect a combination of vibration, rotating nodes, and either suction or air-blowing to provide a perfect union of all the most enjoyable aspects of having someone go down on you.
This combo can give even the most skilled tongues a run for their money.
Who Are They For?
Vibrating tongues were created to stimulate women’s erogenous zones, with particular attention paid to the clit and the nipples.
This oral sex simulator is perfect for single women, and even those who are in a relationship, or situationship. Female pleasure, whether single, in a relationship, or anywhere in between, is something we all deserve.
Anyone wanting to explore analingus could also use a vibrating tongue as a stepping stone, seeing if it’s something they enjoy before possibly pitching it to a partner.
What To Think About When Buying A Product
The Type
Generally, these sex toys fall under the following 3 categories, though some use a combination of these functions to maximize pleasure.
- Devices that use rotating ‘pleasure nodes’ to recreate the sensation of a controlled tongue-like feeling (e.g., LELO ORA 3)
- Suction toys using suction to recreate a feeling closely resemble the real thing (e.g., Womanizer Premium 2)
- Toys with a human tongue-like design that offers a licking effect to stimulate the clitoris (e.g., Fun Factory Volta).
Regardless of each vibe’s main function, they also all include some form of vibration, either from the entire toy or a more particular location, to extend its users every type of stimulation you could want from this pleasure-packed vibe.
Material
Most vibrators, including tongue vibrators, are made of silicone. This body-safe, non-porous material is soft and bendy enough to be passed off as a tongue and not so soft it would absorb all of the yummy vibes destined for your clit.
Some sex toys claim to be silicone but are made of a combination of lower-grade rubbers and elastomers. While low-grade materials may produce a similar sensation to silicone, they are porous and don’t have the same anti-bacterial properties as higher-grade materials.
Using lower-grade materials can leave you at risk of infections, so it’s always good to double-check the packaging before making your purchase.
Settings
Vibrating tongue toys offer one of the broader arrays of settings that you can find in a sensual toy.
While some are designed to offer only a rotating knob or a suction-cup function, others combine all the most popular functions to create a toy that can provide every kind of pleasure.
The Her Ultimate Pleasure kit is a vibrator that uses a pump-like head that provides unmatched suction, with a silicone tongue that also offers a variety of stimulating movements to hit your most sensitive nooks and crannies.
Size
Although the makers of these toys didn’t design them with discretion in mind, certain styles offer a less conspicuous look and are small enough to easily fit into the palm of your hand.
Like Fun Factory Volta, many products are made with a long handle. While this might make them easier to hold onto in the bedroom, it also means that traveling with them and keeping them hidden from any prying eyes will be more of a challenge.
Design
The design varies greatly, with some being small, easily fitting into the palm of your hand, while others have a handle that makes them bulkier.
The smaller sizes are for anyone who prefers discreet vibrators and usually offer functions with suction and more pinpointed massaging meant to replicate the precision you would get from the tip of a tongue.
Vibrators with a design meant to replicate the flicking motion of an entire human tongue are usually longer and thinner.
There are also tongue vibrators like the Triple Thrill, which is a small attachment created for Magic Wands; a back massager turned sex toy. You can even find tongue sex toys shaped like a rose!
Sound Level
The amount of noise each toy emits is unique to that toy and its particular functions. A tongue flicker toy with high-intensity vibration settings and more power is bound to make more noise than something with a simple suction function.
If you live with family, have nosy roommates, or generally prefer your privacy, finding a toy that offers a specific whisper mode will ensure you get maximum discretion.
Budget
Simple tongue vibrators with limited vibration modes and a single function, such as only suction or flicking, can be purchased for as little as $40.
Most models that use rotating nodes to deliver the sensation of a nimble tongue stroking and swirling on your clit will run you between $135 and $180.

How To Use A Tongue Vibrator?
1. Wash it first
Before using any sex toy, even if it’s fresh out of the box, you must give it a thorough clean.
Use a mild soap and warm water, and wash it for at least 20 seconds to ensure it’s been thoroughly cleaned. Mild soap can be hand soap or anything else gentle on the skin.
Avoid using something harsher, like dish detergent or anything with bleach.

2. Make sure it’s fully charged
The next step in getting your tongue vibrator ready for use is ensuring it has the power to get the job done.
If your sensual toy is rechargeable, you’ll want to plug it into a power outlet and allow it to reach a full charge before using it. For most toys, this will take around 2 hours.
After this initial charge, you should only plug your toy in when it’s running on empty. Charging it too often and leaving it to charge past full can cause unnecessary wear and tear to battery performance.
For anything battery-operated, you will want to ensure you have a few packs of the right battery size on hand to avoid a disappointing orgasm-less masturbation session.

3. Learn how the controls work
Tongue vibrators, in particular, were created to offer a wide array of sucking, flicking, swirling, and stroking, so getting to know your particular vibe control options might come with a learning curve.
Although the vast array of settings this device offers is a major selling point, it also means that figuring out what helps you reach climax will take some time.
Some of these oral sex simulators are duel-sided, allowing you to indulge in gentle sucking or more intense tongue-flicking, depending on your mood. Others work by creating a perfect harmony of vibrations and clit stroking to help you enjoy multiple orgasms.
Because so many products offer such diverse functions, many also include the option for you to adjust the individual settings of each function, allowing you to find the perfect level of vibration before adding in another flavor.
4. Add Lube
Using a toy with a powerful motion creates friction, and excessive rubbing is something you should avoid at all costs during solo and partner play.
Not only does friction on your genitals feel all-around bad, but it can also negatively affect your sexual well-being by leaving you more vulnerable to catching STIs and bladder infections.
Even if you’re using your vibrator lightly and barely touching the skin, make sure to use a few drops of lubricant to help it glide more easily.
With silicone toys, you must use a water-based lubricant or a water-silicone hybrid. Using silicone lube on a silicone toy will cause the soft material to break down, making it more porous and more likely to harbor BV-causing bacteria.
5. Start slow
Considering the variety of options that your tongue vibrator offers, you would be doing yourself a disservice by simply popping your vibe on the highest setting and rushing your way to climax.
Instead, take the time to explore your extra-sensitive nooks and crannies with the different functions. You might be surprised by how different your orgasms feel when drawn out more slowly using a lower-intensity power setting.
6. Speed it up
When you feel ready, you can start cranking up your vibe’s intensity.
Using a tongue vibrator on its highest setting can be a way for you to reach the brink of climax more quickly and holds the potential for you to have some fun with a practice known as edging.
Edging involves bringing yourself to a point just before you climax before decreasing your pressure or putting a slight distance between your toy and your more sensitive bits.
After repeating this process a few times, you can expect to have your whole body rocked with one of the most intense orgasms ever.
7. Pause or stop if you feel uncomfortable
Sex, either solo or with a partner, is supposed to feel good. If at any time when using your toy, you feel pain or discomfort, be sure to stop right away.
If the pain persists, either discontinue use with this toy or contact a healthcare professional.
How To Use Them With A Partner?
The similarities between using a tongue vibrator and receiving oral sex make it a fun addition to partnered sex, which can always benefit from a little extra stimulation.
You can use your vibe to get your blood flowing to all your extra-sensitive spots during foreplay or have you or your partner press it against your clit or anus during penetrative sex.
Using a toy on your clit during anal will give you an orgasm you won’t quickly forget.
If your partner hesitates about including toys in your sex life, don’t worry. It’s a common issue, especially for men, and doesn’t have to put a stop to the fun.
A gentle reminder that over 81% of women can’t orgasm from penetrative sex alone and some reassurance that there’s nothing wrong with your sex life can often be all the reassurance your partner needs.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Since silicone is more porous than other materials like stainless steel and glass, aftercare for your tongue vibrator is essential to keeping your vibe clean and free of yeast-infection-causing bacteria.
When you’re done with your toy, wash it with mild soap and warm water. Afterward, let it air dry or use a clean towel to wipe it down before storing it in a box or small bag separate from your other toys.
Bottom Line
The use of vibrators goes far beyond just having fun and can, for some women, be the difference between reaching orgasm and not.
Tongue vibrators are an excellent alternative for anyone who finds traditional sex toys underwhelming or too intense and can be a fun addition to solo and partner play.
