The perfect vibrator for women over 50

Why a vibrator is ideal for women aged 50 and over

A vibrator can be a wonderful addition to your sex life — both for solo pleasure and together with a partner. Whether you want to seduce, tease, stimulate or simply relax, a good vibrator truly adds something special to intimate moments.

For many women, reaching orgasm is easier with the consistent, powerful vibrations of a vibrator. And it's not just women who enjoy them: for men too, it can be a surprisingly pleasurable toy.

Vibrators for the over-50s: more pleasure, less pressure

After 50, all sorts of things change in your body. The need for a little extra stimulation often grows along with it. A good vibrator helps you reach orgasm more easily, and ensures you can enjoy even more together — without performance pressure or frustration.

After 50, all sorts of things change in your body. A little extra stimulation can make just the right difference. A good vibrator not only helps you reach orgasm more easily, but also means you can enjoy more together, without performance pressure.

A vibrator is good for your sexual health

A vibrator is also good for your sexual health. It stimulates blood flow to the pelvic area and helps keep vaginal tissues supple. And solo? It naturally provides pure pleasure.

Why vibrators are increasingly popular among the over-50s

It's no surprise, then, that vibrators are enormously popular among women over 50 — and that certainly applies to women of 60, 70 and even 80 as well. This group often rediscovers their sexual self with great enjoyment, with a little help from the right toy.

What a good vibrator should offer

Vibration power and the right type of vibrations

After 50, the preference for power and robustness increases. This applies to both men and women. Where a younger woman (or man) might still enjoy a vibrator with soft, superficial vibrations, that usually doesn't apply to someone over fifty.
These vibrators aren't arousing and can feel irritating or even painful.

'Rumble' vibrations

It's therefore important to choose a vibrator that's somewhat more powerful. But even more important than the strength of the vibrations is the type of vibrations. The vibrator needs to have the right vibrations. The vibrations should be robust — also known as 'rumble'. These are vibrations that feel "deeper" and more intense. The vibrations don't skim across the skin surface, but penetrate into the skin.
A vibrator can be very powerful and vibrate hard, but if the vibrations stay on the surface, it won't do you any good at all.

Of course, every woman (and man) is different and has different preferences, but at the very least choose a vibrator where you can adjust the intensity, that's slightly more powerful than average, and that has robust vibrations.

Cheap often means a bad buy

Unfortunately, cheap often means a bad buy. Cheap models typically have poor motors that can't produce powerful or robust vibrations. They often produce nothing more than superficial and overly gentle vibrations.

Additionally, cheaper models often don't conduct the vibrations well through the vibrator, so at the tip — where vibrations should be strongest — they've virtually disappeared.

Or the motor sits right at the bottom, so you feel the vibrations mainly in your hand.

Stay safe without risk of infections

A vibrator must be made from safe materials. This means the material must not contain toxic substances such as phthalates. This chemical is linked to cancer and is banned in children's toys, but unfortunately still permitted in vibrators.
Phthalates are never found in silicone, so that's a safe choice.

Safe material also means it must be easy to clean properly. The material must not be porous. Porous material can easily harbour dirt and bacteria. Porous material can never be 100% properly cleaned, so you always run the risk of developing an infection from using such a vibrator. This risk becomes even greater after 50, when vaginal skin is thinner and more vulnerable. Choose a vibrator with an outer layer of safe, high-quality silicone to avoid this risk.

Also check that the vibrator has no annoying seams or poor finishing. Dirt can easily accumulate here, which again poses an infection risk. Here too, cheaper models are more likely to have poor and careless finishing.

Comfortably soft exterior

Quality vibrators are made from silicone, and what makes a vibrator even more comfortable is when it has not a thin layer, but a thicker layer of silicone. It feels a bit like soft skin. The thicker the silicone layer on the outside, the softer the vibrator feels.

Flexible

When it comes to a wand or rabbit vibrator, it's nice if the vibrator can bend a little and is somewhat flexible. That way, you can bend and shape it to fit your own body.

Good controls

The right position

It sounds so obvious that the buttons should be in the right place, but that's certainly not always the case. Sometimes they're simply in a really awkward spot. In a position your fingers can't easily reach while using the vibrator. Or where your fingers constantly slide over the buttons while holding it, causing the vibrations to suddenly get softer or harder when you don't want them to.

Not too small

Tiny buttons can also be enormously frustrating. It's incredibly annoying when you press the wrong button during lovemaking and have to put your glasses on to find the right one.

Not too many

It sounds appealing when a vibrator has lots of buttons and many play options, but in practice it usually isn't. Many options are fun during foreplay, but too many has the opposite effect. Then you're more focused on the toy than on each other. In practice, you want to quickly and easily increase or decrease the vibrations without fuss, and have a few nice programmes to get you in the mood.

More help choosing

Of course, there are many more excellent and enjoyable vibrators. It simply depends on your preferences. Does a small clitoral stimulator appeal to you, or are you looking for a vibrator for insertion? Do you find a large vibrator sexy, or would you prefer something smaller? Is this your first vibrator, or do you already have one and want to try something new?

The best choice is the vibrator that appeals to you and excites you — the one you look forward to trying.

Veelgestelde Vragen

Welke vibrator is het beste voor een vrouw van 50-plus?

De beste vibrator voor 50-plussers heeft robuuste 'rumble' vibraties, is gemaakt van hoogwaardige siliconen en heeft eenvoudige bediening. Onze top 5 bevat onder andere de Yed Prior (rabbit), Sisley (allrounder) en Rocky (clitoris). Kies op basis van wat u prettig vindt: inwendige stimulatie, clitorale stimulatie of een combinatie.

Wat is het verschil tussen rumble en buzzy vibraties?

Rumble vibraties zijn diep en robuust — ze dringen als het ware in de huid door en voelen intens aan. Buzzy vibraties zijn oppervlakkig en schurig, vergelijkbaar met het trillen van een telefoon. Na uw 50ste werken rumble vibraties doorgaans veel beter omdat de gevoeligheid verandert. Goedkope vibrators hebben vaak alleen buzzy vibraties.

Is een goedkope vibrator een goede keuze?

Een goedkope vibrator is vaak een miskoop. De motortjes zijn zwak, de vibraties oppervlakkig en het materiaal kan poreus zijn, wat een risico op infecties geeft. Daarnaast is de afwerking vaak onzorgvuldig. Investeer liever in een kwalitatieve vibrator van siliconen die lang meegaat en veilig is in gebruik.

Hoe belangrijk is het materiaal van een vibrator?

Het materiaal is cruciaal voor uw gezondheid. Kies altijd voor medische siliconen: dit is niet-poreus, makkelijk schoon te maken en bevat geen schadelijke stoffen zoals ftalaten. Na uw 50ste is de vaginale huid dunner en kwetsbaarder, waardoor het risico op infecties bij poreus materiaal nog groter wordt.

Kan ik een vibrator ook samen met mijn partner gebruiken?

Absoluut. Een vibrator is juist een prachtige toevoeging aan het vrijen met uw partner. Veel stellen gebruiken een vibrator tijdens het voorspel of als aanvulling op geslachtsgemeenschap. Het kan de druk om te presteren verminderen en het genot voor beiden vergroten. Kleine modellen zoals de Mila zijn hier ideaal voor.

Moet ik glijmiddel gebruiken bij een vibrator?

Ja, een goed glijmiddel op waterbasis wordt sterk aanbevolen bij het gebruik van een vibrator. Het maakt het gebruik comfortabeler, voorkomt irritaties en beschermt de gevoelige huid. Na de overgang is het natuurlijke vocht vaak verminderd, waardoor glijmiddel extra belangrijk wordt. Gebruik altijd glijmiddel op waterbasis bij siliconen vibrators.

Wat is een luchtdruk vibrator en voor wie is dat geschikt?

Een luchtdruk vibrator, zoals de Womanizer Next, stimuleert de clitoris met zachte pulserende luchtgolven zonder direct contact. Dit is bijzonder geschikt voor vrouwen die overgevoelig zijn aan de clitoris of moeite hebben met klaarkomen via traditionele vibraties. De kracht is instelbaar van heel zacht tot intens.
