About Sex Toys and Vibrators

1. How long do sex toys last?

Like any other product, it depends on the quality of the sex toys. Sex Toys and vibrators can last anywhere from a few months to a few years, however at Madame Claude we offer only prime quality brands of sex toys and vibrators. Cheaper sex toys tend to break down quickly, so if you are looking for quality, spend that little extra to have a more longer-lasting vibrator. 

2. How do vibrators work?

Vibrators contain an electric or battery powered motor that produces vibrations. When the power is turned on the vibrating motor is activated, creating vibrations.

3. Why are there different styles of vibrators?

Sex Toys and Vibrators come in different styles and shapes so people can use them in different ways. As an example, a Clitoral Vibrator is designed to stimulate the clitoris while a G-Spot vibrator is designed to stimulate the G-Spot. There are many different styles to choose from and some vibrators even combine two or more different styles, for example Rabbit Vibrators stimulates the clitoris with the "bunny" while stimulating the G-Spot with the twisting shaft and the outer-vaginal area with the spinning beads. Everybody is different and it is best to choose a style that responds to your body, creating stimulation.

4. What is the difference between a clitoral and a vaginal orgasm?

Clitoral orgasms are achieved by stimulating the clitoris and usually are quicker and very intense. Vaginal orgasms can take some time to build but is often a deeply powerful experience. 

5. Can anal vibrators give you an orgasm?

Everybody is different and achieve orgasms by different stimulation. However it is possible indeed. Anal vibrators are well-known to produce a lot of pleasure as the anus is a very sensitive spot with many nerves. Stimulating these nerves with a vibrator can heighten sexual experience and lead to stronger orgasms.

6. Should I use a condom when I'm using vibrator?

You don't need to use a condom with a vibrator. It should just be cleaned before and after use with warm soapy water. In fact, if you buy a waterproof vibrator its obviously much easier to clean!

7. Can sex toys and vibrators be used during intercourse? 

Yes, absolutely. In fact, some sex toys and vibrators are specifically designed for this purpose. Visit our Couples collection and you will discover them to spice up your sexual life with your partner.

8. Is it safe to use a vibrator during pregnancy?

If your doctor has given you the green light for sexual intercourse, then it's generally accepted that you also have the OK to use a vibrator.

9. Is it safe to share a vibrator with a friend?

It is up to the individual. However, if you are concerned about catching a disease it is not a good idea to share sex toys as this will expose yourself to whatever diseases your friend may carry. 

10. Are batteries included when purchasing a Sex Toy?

Some manufacturers include batteries with their product, some do not. Individual product descriptions will indicate if batteries are included.

11. Where should vibrators be stored?

The best place to store a vibrator is in a cool, dry place. Moisture is the number one cause of damage. Avoiding moisture will go a long way towards keeping a vibrator in good working condition.

12. What is a Cock Ring?

A cock ring is a device that fits around the penis, constricting the flow of blood and increasing the intensity of an erection. Just before orgasm, the cock ring is released, creating a more powerful orgasm. 

13. What's the Best Sex Toy for a First-time Sex Toy User? 

Your first sex toy should be something that is personal and definitely catches your eye. Many popular first sex toys are often vibrators or dildos.
