How to Use a Rabbit Vibrator:
Your Beginner Guide

As Chappell Roan would say, we heard you like magic, we’ve got a wand and a rabbit! But let's save wand chat for another day, because this article is all about rabbit vibrators... And boy are they magic.

Rabbit vibes are probably the most iconic sex toys in the world. That’s because these little bunnies can help you reach a ‘blended orgasm’, aka climaxing by stimulating multiple parts of your body at once.

At first glance, rabbit vibes have a lot going on and might be a little intimidating. So, to help you conquer your fear of bunnies, here’s your guide for learning how to use a rabbit vibrator, how they work, and how to choose the best companion for bedroom magic.

Buy the right rabbit vibe and get it delivered in a discreet package. Shop all rabbits

Vibrating rabbits are made of two parts; an insertable, vibrating shaft and a small, external clitoral stimulator. It’s the clit stim part that gives the toy its name, since it’s usually shaped like bunny ears.

These ears rest on the clitoris and wiggle while you play, which is ideal for anyone who doesn’t orgasm from penetration alone. While your clit is otherwise engaged, the internal arm gives you G-spot stimulation. The result? Spine-tingling blended orgasms that you’ll want to try again and again.

Since their launch in the early 1980s, rabbit vibrators have evolved a lot. They’re now much smoother and less girthy. The shaft heads are even more powerful, and you’ll find some that thrust, massage, or rotate to stimulate your G-spot. Our newer rabbit toys, like the Greedy Girl, have an improved bunny ear design that envelops the clitoris for more targeted stimulation.

You can even get rabbit vibes with no rabbit. Toys like the We-Vibe Nova 2 swap the ears for a solid external arm that delivers powerful vibrations to your clit. Meanwhile, the Womanizer Duo offers clitoral suction instead, using a pulsing motion to tease your clit while the internal shaft works magic on your G-spot. But the defining characteristic of the iconic rabbit vibe remains the same: dual stimulation to help you reach that blended bliss.

Oh, and did you know you can also use rabbit vibrators for anal play? We’re getting ahead of ourselves... more on that later!

Shopping for a vibrator can feel like foreplay, so long as you’re not getting overwhelmed by the options. You may not know how thrusting compares to vibration, or if you prefer a tickling or sucking sensation on your clit – it’s okay, we’ve got you, babe. Here is a list of the absolute essentials to focus on when choosing the best rabbit vibrator for you:

• Think of the sex toy materials. Rabbits usually come in extra soft body-safe silicone. But you can also find ones in hard plastic or even metal. When in doubt, go for a toy made of a non-porous material like silicone or ABS plastic. It’s body-safe and easier to clean.

• Get a rabbit vibe with multiple vibration levels. That way, you can customise the intensity until you reach ultimate pleasure. Depending on the model, most vibrating rabbits come with two motors that you can control individually. So, you can have one vibration pattern and intensity in your clit, and a more intense or soft one on your G-spot.

• Ask about features. Some rabbits come with suction for clit stimulation instead of the classic tingly bunny ears. You can find shaft heads that thrust, vibrate, or rotate at different intensity levels to take you from ‘oh’ to ‘ooooOOOH’. If you’re not sure which type of stimulation you prefer on your G-spot, the safe choice is to opt for one with firm vibration – similar to a steady and strong tap.

• Choose the charging method. There are cord-based, battery-operated, or rechargeable rabbits. But honestly, this is almost a no brainer. Get a rechargeable one so you can always plug it in for a few hours and be ready to go.

• Pick a size you think you’ll enjoy. Before buying your new vibe, take a look at the available sizes and shapes. If you tend to be on the tighter side, look for a slimline rabbit like the Slimline Happy Rabbit. It's thinner than standard models and you’ll likely find it more comfortable. But if you’d like the shaft to be thicker and to feel the pop as it enters your body, the Happy Rabbit Realistic might be a better choice since the head is shaped like a real penis.

Whether you want to use your toy during solo play or to spice up partnered sex, here’s a quick guide on how to use a rabbit vibrator.

1. Give the settings a test run

Take things slow and start by testing the vibration patterns and levels without inserting the shaft into your vagina. Just feel it with your fingers or place it on other erogenous zones. Try positioning the bunny ears on your nipples or vulva for a gentle tickle to get in the mood and excited for more.

Knowing how powerful the different settings are is a fun way to warm up and test your limits before putting the vibe inside you.

2. Always start with lube

Lubricant makes everything wetter and better. Although there are multiple types of lube, we always recommend using a water-based lube because it's condom and toy safe. Silicone lube tends to be last longer but it's not suitable for silicone sex toys as it'll degrade them over time.

Add a nice pump directly onto your toy covering the shaft and the rabbit ears. Even if you’re not planning on fully inserting your toy the first time you use it, lube reduces friction to make your whole experience smoother.

3. Bring the ears to your clitoris

Move the toy down to your clit. Try this when it’s off or on a very low vibration, there’s no need to rush things.

All bodies are unique, but people often tell us that they feel the most satisfied when the two ears are placed around the clit, as if they were giving it a little hug. Start increasing the intensity and give that a try and thank us later!

4. Try different positions

We’re talking solo masturbation positions rather than partnered sex ones. It’s not called solo play for nothing, get playful and explore your body.

Find the perfect position before turning the toy on or increasing the intensity. Hollywood taught us that people masturbate on their back, but it’s actually easier to insert the shaft while kneeling. Move your hips while you use it for extra pleasure.

Our customers say they love to rock it in doggy style or sitting upright with their legs closed – aka the butterfly effect. Or try your favourite sex positions, but use the rabbit instead of a partner. Who knows? You may end up discovering new pleasurable sensations or places you like to be touched.

5. Adjust it to your body

Put the shaft inside of you while doing clit play for that blended bliss we mentioned earlier. Wiggle that shaft with your hands for extra help until it’s touching your G-spot while the ears give your clit a snug little hug.

If finding your G-spot feels like a poorly executed scavenger hunt, try locating it with your fingers first. Introduce a lubed-up finger one or two inches inside your vagina and feel along the front wall (i.e. behind your belly rather than towards your back). The skin might feel sensitive to touch, as well as texturized, kind of like an orange peel.

If most vibrators don’t quite fit your body, grab a rabbit with a flexible shaft. Toys like the We-Vibe Nova 2 have a posable arm that lets you adjust the depth and angle through an app – without losing contact with the clit.

Lauren, a Lovehoney customer, tried the Nova 2 and said: “I’ve never been a fan of rabbit style toys until now. Normally they feel awkward to get into place and, for me, the sizing was always uncomfortable, but this one is incredible. It’s super bendy therefore can be moved into the right position.”

6. Alternate between clitoral and vaginal stimulation

Keep things spicy by switching between vaginal and external clitoral stimulation. First-time users do this often as dual stimulation can feel intense, but it's not just about taking it easy. Varying between these two sensations lets you slowly build up the pleasure. It can also help you delay climaxing or let you experience what a G-spot orgasm feels like on its own.

7. Breathe through it

It’s easy to focus on the end goal when you’re masturbating, rushing yourself towards an orgasm. Being hyper aware and trying really hard to come can actually scare the orgasm away. Whether it’s sex or solo time, climaxing doesn’t necessarily have to be the end goal but a (very) nice-to-have.

So, unwind, unclench your butt, relax those toes, keep doing what you’re doing with the toy, and breathe. Listening to a sexy playlist or erotic stories can also help you focus on the moment instead of stressing about the dirty dishes piling up in the sink – and prepares your body for that sweet, sweet release.

8. Ask a partner to try it with you

There are countless ways to bring different types of vibrators into partnered sex. So baby, get kinky and let your creativity flow. Just remember to ask before doing so; there’s nothing sexier than consent and seeing your partner enjoy new things.

Use the rabbit when you masturbate together, allowing them to control it or letting them watch you. If your partner has a penis, use the ears to tease their perineum – aka the spot between the genitals and the butt.

You can also use the shaft for anal stimulation during oral or vaginal sex, especially if you love that “full-up” feeling. Next up: more on butt play!

9. Try anal play (if you like!)

If butt play is your thing, gently ease your rabbit’s shaft into your anus (with plenty of anal lube) for some thrilling anal pleasure.

To play with your clit while you’re using the rabbit on the back, try a bullet vibrator or go analog and use your fingers. Or get a triple stimulation toy like the Happy Rabbit Triple Curve. This magnificent thing comes with the original shaft and ears, plus angled anal beads for three points of direct stimulation.

According to one customer’s review: “For someone new to the world of anal pleasure, this has become my favourite and go-to toy! When it arrived, I did feel intimidated by its size, but that soon faded once I started getting to grips with it! Would definitely recommend it, it's worth the money!”

10. Clean your sex toys

Last but definitely not least, clean your sex toys after each play and before your next rendezvous. Also, if you’re alternating between vaginal and anal penetration, remember to clean the toy in between to avoid getting any unwanted infections.

Most toys, especially waterproof ones, are easy to wash with a mild, unscented soap and warm water. You can also spray your toy with sex toy cleaner like the Lovehoney Fresh Toy Cleaner, leave it for a few seconds, and wipe or rinse away.

Leave your toy to air dry on a clean surface. When you store your toy, be sure to remove the batteries (unless it's rechargeable) and keep silicone toys in separate bags or boxes.
