The names used for vibrators describe shape and intended use. Understanding those names helps you choose a toy that matches what you want to feel.
Bullets
Small, compact and easy to hold, bullets focus vibration in a small area. They suit exploring and are easy to take on a trip.
Wands
Wands have a wider head that spreads vibration over a larger area. They are powerful and often used for external stimulation, so the head can be large and firm.
Rabbit-style
Rabbit-style toys combine internal and external stimulation with two arms or a second motor. They offer more to try, which can be a good choice once you know what you enjoy.
Shape decides where the sensation goes. Power decides how strong it feels.
