Vibrators: Everything You Were Afraid to Ask

At age five, you and the friendly neighbor boy probably played “doctor.” Before your parents caught you, peeps at his thingy and your lady bits were taken. How yucky, you thought. At age twelve, during your “developing years,” someone undoubtedly sat you down for a talk about the birds and the bees. They whipped out the American Girl puberty book and you squirmed. How awkward, you cried. At the age of seventeen, it’s possible one of your friends was the first to lose her virginity. Silly chit chats were had and countless questions were asked. How exciting, you blushed. At age (insert your age here), Her Campus gave you the lowdown on vibrators. They provided you with the easing statistics, buying advice and funny mishaps you’d always been wondering about. Finally, you jumped in joy.

You read racy tips in magazines, peruse racks of lingerie at the mall, and have juicy gossip sessions with girlfriends. Why, then, is it often so difficult to bring up the subject of vibrators? Maybe it’s the society we live in; maybe pleasuring yourself is too personal of a subject. But ladies, let’s face it. Whether you’re a vibrator virgin or sexpert, you have questions. Her Campus has the answers.
