What is a dual stimulation vibrator?
A dual stimulation vibrator is designed to target multiple pleasure points simultaneously. They typically feature separate tips for internal and external use – whether that’s G-spot and clitoral, perineum and prostate, or a combination designed for couples.
How does a dual stimulation vibrator work?
There are many models on the market, each with its own spin on dual pleasure. Some, like Smile Makers’ The Artist that was voted our best toy overall, feature two powerful motors to stimulate internal and external zones. Others, such as the Lovehoney Double Fun Vibrating Rabbit Double Penetration Strap-On, combine penetration with clitoral stimulation and a cock ring for added intensity.
Most toys are controlled via buttons, but some include a discreet remote – or even an app – for partner-controlled pleasure.The We-Vibe Jive 2, for example, can be operated remotely, making it ideal for long-distance couples.
What should I look for when buying a dual stimulation vibrator?
What areas you want to target. Simultaneous G-spot and clitoral stimulation is a perfect pairing that guarantees pleasure. But if you want to indulge in some anal play, a prostate massager may be a better fit. A big fan of oral? The Womanizer Duo 2 has Pleasure Air Tech, which uses a combination of sucking and massaging air vibrations.
The materials. Soft silicone is usually a popular choice for consumers as it feels great on the skin. It typically works with a range of lubricants, is body-safe and non-porous for easy cleaning. Also consider any allergens you may react with.
Size and shape. Whether you want something discreet and delicate or require some girth, it’s always worth checking the specifications to make sure it’ll work for you. Customer reviews are also a great place to find unbiased comments on how big or small something runs.
The operation. Is it battery-powered or rechargeable? How long does a single charge give you? Is it small and portable for when you’re on the move? And is it whisper-quiet or do you need to be concerned about your thin walls when you power it up?

Can dual stimulation vibrators be used during penetrative sex?
