A vibrating egg is small, discreet and easy to use, which is why it’s one of the most sought-after toys for those starting to explore. If you’re wondering how to choose a vibrating egg, what to look out for before buying one, and how to use and look after it properly, here’s a no-nonsense guide. Take your time: it’s all about getting to know your own sensations at your own pace.

What is a vibrating egg?

It is an oval-shaped, compact vibrator, designed to be held in the hand or used with a partner. It usually has a small motor, several vibration settings and, in many models, a remote control that allows you to operate it without touching the toy.

Its main advantage is its versatility: it’s unobtrusive, can be stored anywhere and is ideal for anyone who wants to take things slowly, whether on their own or with others.

How to choose a vibrating egg

Before you make up your mind, bear the following points in mind:

  • Material. This is what matters most in terms of feel and hygiene. Make sure the manufacturer states this clearly. For example, the product details for Ocean Breeze 2.0 state «100% Super-Soft Premium Silicone and ABS».
  • Vibration modes. More modes give you more scope to experiment. The important thing is that you can start at a low intensity and build up gradually.
  • Remote control. A remote-controlled vibrating egg allows you to adjust the vibration from a distance, which is very useful if you’re sharing it with your partner.
  • Battery and charging. USB-rechargeable models save you the cost of batteries and can be charged at home.
  • Water resistance. Not all toys are suitable for use in water. Read the product information: «splash-proof» is not the same as ‘submersible’.
  • Warranty. It is worth knowing what is covered and what is excluded. The manufacturer states a 3-year warranty on the Ocean Breeze 2.0 product page, which does not cover damage caused by misuse.

A useful tip: if a piece of information isn’t listed on the product page, ask the seller before taking anything for granted.

How to use a vibrating egg, step by step

  1. Clean the toy before use. Wash it with warm water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly.
  2. Start at the lowest setting. Let your body get used to it before changing mode.
  3. Have a go. Change modes and areas gradually, and stick with whatever feels comfortable for you.
  4. Use a water-based lubricant if you need to. The Ocean Breeze 2.0 product information sheet recommends this type and advises against using silicone, oils and creams, as these can damage the material. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions for your model.
  5. Just in case there’s anything you’re not comfortable with. Pleasure doesn’t have to be painful or uncomfortable. If you experience any discomfort that doesn’t go away, consult a healthcare professional.

Using it as a couple: communication comes first

A remote-controlled vibrating egg opens up a whole new kind of play: one person wears the toy and the other decides when and for how long. It works best if you discuss it beforehand.

  • Agree on the limits. What do you fancy, what don’t you fancy, and which word or gesture means «stop»?.
  • Start at a low intensity. Power brings control, so it’s best to use it with care.
  • Think about the environment. Try it out at home first, in an environment where you’re both comfortable.
  • Please ensure that consent is obtained at all times. You can change your mind, and that’s always an option.

How to clean and store your vibrating egg

Looking after your toy will extend its life and allow you to use it with peace of mind:

  • Cleaning. Clean the toy thoroughly before and after each use, using warm water and mild soap, as advised on the brand’s website.
  • Caring for the charger and the remote control. Keep the charging points dry before connecting them.
  • Storage. Keep it away from dust and other materials, avoid direct sunlight and do not expose it to extreme heat.
  • Their own website. A case or bag prevents it from rubbing against other objects.
