You would not be alone if you thought that the clitoris was just the little bit you see at the top of the vulva. For many the tip is shaped like a hood, but not for all vulva owners.

The tip of the clitoris-iceberg is at the top of a vulva where the inner labia (lips) meet. As the model below depicts the full clitoris is shaped as something like a wishbone, a penguin or maybe even something from outer space.

One thing I know for sure is that with the right type of stimulation the pleasure you will experience from the nerve-rich and pleasure-seeking clit will be outta-this-world. *Most clit’s are particularly fond of stimulation at the 2 o’clock position*

HOW TO USE A CLIT VIBRATOR

Knowing what you now know – you can really start to include the WHOLE clitoris in the pleasure experience. Use your clitoral vibe to stimulate the inner and outer labia, the clitoral hood, the opening of the uretha, and around and about.

It takes time to stimulate and arouse the clitoris as it isn’t just a “little hill” as previously thought so be open to taking your time with arousal, foreplay, massage and seduction. Start slow and tease your way to the clitoral area. Why not start by tracing your clitoral vibrator around the body from erogenous zone to erogenous zone and then spend some time tracing around on the inner thighs until you can’t last any longer and then move towards the clit.

ARE CLIT VIBRATORS GOOD FOR BEGINNERS?

Absolutely, it is a brilliant place to start as they are generally quite petite to hold, are pleasure-personified and are simple to gain real enjoyment from. Clit vibrators though are just as great for seasoned sex toy users as they are versatile, reliable and easy to take anywhere and everywhere with you.

Enjoy the pleasure!
