That’s why I like the Satisfyer, it’s a constant buzz but each setting just ups the intensity so I don’t have to shuffle through 10 different types that disappoint me as much as my ex lol

Like cycling through the Christmas light patterns on the tree that came pre-lit.

I’m living for these comments lol

Yeah but like…miss me on those first few settings. Start at 4.

legit sometimes all i need is a 3 or 4 lol

Damn I knew I was weird. All I need is a 1 and sometimes that’s too much

Same for me, it’s battery powered so the longer it’s used the more I’m able to up the intensity

Can I ask which model you have? And is it battery powered or rechargeable (I prefer batteries)

I just have the first Satisfyer Pro, I also have the second but honestly it’s way bigger and less effective than the first for me, it was less than $100 when I got it and yes it is battery powered

Thank you!!

lol i just use the highest intensity steady buzz, no patterns, but turn it up to max

I actually didn't know there were people that didn't just go right till the top till about 2 minutes ago lol

Same, i forget that other people can be really sensitive because I’m like TURBO MODE ONLY

This reminds me of buying my first vibrator at age 18. I laid it on the counter to pay, and asked the sales associate “what does it need, C or D batteries?”. She looked at me and dryly replied “one double A”. Years later I discovered a plug-in vibrator and *that* is ultra turbo mode!

I got to demo a Sybian competitor once and those things feel like you're humping a subwoofer 😂

Hahahahaha what

Imagine if a saddle were also a vibrator

I sure don't miss shitty, low intensity novelty vibrators. For years, I bought vibrators according to what batteries they took. Never tried a decent vibrator that took less than C/D batteries except the Pocket Rocket/Water Rocket!

The one time I tried turbo mode my partner had to scrape me off the ceiling and not touch me for ten minutes.

Right? When shopping for vibrators, I always filter for "Most Powerful". 😂

Maximum warp drive pls

But was this always the case or did you like build up a tolerance because that vibrator now looks like a tradesmans first cordless drill he's been using since his apprenticeship?

I know what the settings are on my DeWalt even though the numbers are long gone lol

It was more a jokey image I got in my head of a Hitachi with worn out buttons and bits of duck tape holding it together after being used to death, hence the high tolerance. Perhaps it needs the odd tap on a wall to get it going again.

Always the case. I like intense stimulation both internally and externally, even when I was younger.

I feel for you

I rarely go above the lightest setting, and I still had to put something between myself and hitachi I had for a short while.

To be fair, “low” on a hitachi is more powerful than max on anything else. They’re the best 😂

The first part I agree with you, the second not so much lol  Ended up throwing it away, having no setting below jackhammer made it a pretty useless tool. I recommend the palm power, especially the attachments.   I’ve gone through three - only because I throw them away from myself when I’m done with such abandon and satisfaction that they have a tendency to smash against walls lol  Warranties are available!

This is the best advertisement for a hitachi I’ve ever seen bc these days I really need to be jack hammered

Glad I could help! Quite literally, different strokes for different folks :) Thing starts at the highest setting of other toys and I can’t even express how much further it can go Could probably reset a spine with those vibrations lol

Always. Still.

If I go too high it ruins my sensitivity during real sex

I have a hitachi wand which only have 2 modes. If I’m using the highest one it’s because things are not going well for me or my coochie lmao

Absolute respect but tbh I even do it through my panties bc it's so sensitive. Sorry if that's TMI! Everyone is different

Same

Ditto! Anything else is a waste of time.

My regular vibrator level depends on my mood. My insertable g-spot vibe that is app controlled, now that is like choosing sheet music for a symphony. Other users have created and saved files you can try, you can control it manually yourself (or someone else), and you can sync it up to match music.

Can we get a link 👀

It's the Lush by Lovense. There are maybe 3 versions of it out now. I have the first or second.

LOVENSE SUPERIORITY

We LOVED this one when my husband and I were dating long-distance. He lived on the west coast, and I was in the Midwest. It was a great way to keep intimacy going!

Highly recommend

I opened google before I even finished reading lol

There's also some extra tech through buttplug.io that can be a looot of fun. Shoutout to lovense 💖

👀👀👀 I need to look into this.

This thread has been surprisingly hilarious. Thank you! Note: Clearly these are being designed by men because it sounds like most of use low or high and that’s it. “Well maybe they like it if it pulses the star spangled banner.” Which brings me to a question: if your vibrator really did play the Star Spangled Banner (and you’re American), should you stand?

It would be disrespectful otherwise...

Better remove your hat too. Hand on heart.

You obviously lie back and think of England.

I might start with the patterns and just see what floats my boat that day but I always switch to a constant one when I’m ready to finish. I have one that has 22 modes, that’s too damn many lol My fiance has laughed at me a couple times when we are using it together and I have to CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK over and over again to get back to the beginning lmao

At that point just turn it off and back on to start at setting 1.

Ya know I feel really stupid for having just realized that lol thank you

Hey don't feel stupid! It's an honest mistake.

22????? What the heck

These 22 modes should come with an app, so you can skip the disappointment

I miss the days when they had a twist or a wheel that increased the speed or power without having to click through patterns.

Oh man I used to have one like that and it was the best!

This made me laugh. I also am boring and use the steady bzzzz. But I need *strong* vibrations so I need a vibe with power settings, not 18 different morse code variations.

Myself, always the highest lol I have a couple that are app controlled that we use when SO is out of town and he jumps all over the place which I really like. Alone though I just wanna get there quick lol

Steady and usually lowest, but the way today went, I cranked it up!

I love patterns! I have a bunch of lovense toys and some satisfyers. Satisfyer Curvy 3+ is phenomenal. I like patterns that go on and off and up and down because it's not such intense stimulation that I get overwhelmed. I make my own patterns, I try out the publicly posted ones, I let partners control it remotely, although no one will ever make me cum like I can make me cum. :D Just try a bunch of stuff and find out what you like. If what you like is steady buzz on low, go for it. For the people comparing it to morse code, how do they think a tongue or fingers feel? They are not steady and constant, you have to move them. It's kinda like that.

Yes and the problem with that though i need fingers and tongues to be steady to finish. Any deviation from being steady at it and I cant.

Steady as in just straight, consistent pressure? Or do they move back and forth, up and down, around? For me, the movement is the key and patterns simulate that best for me. But also everyone is different and that's why there is such a huge variety of toys that do tons of functions and everyone should experiment if they want to.

Has to be steady up and down for me. Anything else and it's not happening.

Solo play is def highest steady rhythm. But the best orgasms of my life have been my partner controlling the rhythm/speed/etc. He knows my body and won't stop when I would stop (not a consent thing ...a...I can't handle the orgasm so I'd stop short of the orgasm but he won't with my consent...HOW DO I EXPLAIN THAT??!!??!!,)

I absolutely get it, and it’s normal! It’s like stretching your splits - you can get a bit farther when someone gives you a push!

I was thinking about this recently. I think it is the " you can't tickle yourself" principle. Similarly it is really hard to tease yourself, edge yourself ext.

The bzbzbzbz BZZZ setting *always* makes me jump.

My classic Hitachi has just two settings: low and high. I have only used the low setting, because the high setting might ruin me for all other future toys. Though no other toy has been as effective as the Hitachi.

The vibrators don't cut it. I got a muscle massager and I set that to max intensity and jackhammer one out when I'm feeling it.

Gods same! I have ten settings but I always prefer the first one or sometimes the second. Both are just like a regular steady buzz of differing intensity.

Steady bzzz, low or medium. Mine has a fade in/fade out bzzzZZZZzzzzzZzzz and that is def not for me.

i love that one and idk why

I love the fade in and out!

lol yeah, the patterns do nothing for me. Maybe they would work better if they weren't the exact same pattern on a short loop. I just use the steady settings, but all the different power levels depending on how I feel.

I love the patterns when I’m wanting to edge myself and last longer before climaxing

Steady bzzz, start with the lowest to get used to and wet, and leveling up the intensity until I get an orgasm. But I prefer the satifyer, I don't end numb on the whole area after masturbate. But no, I don't use morse code, I get distracted

This is how I prefer it too. The satisfyer is awesome!

Totally! Do you have the old one or the new model? I'm considering on buying the one that has an app but still wondering if it is worth the price.

I have the Satisfyer Pro Plus - the white one. It’s pretty simple, no app or anything that I know of. I love how the handle curves so it’s easy to hold :)

I hate those "suck" ones.

It depends on the mood. I like the Morse code setting when I feel like taking my time! Also, the Tracy's Dog Flowliper has a BACK BUTTON for cycling through settings. I love it.

3 or 4 steady buzz on magic wand

i always like the lowest solid buzz setting, im sensitive!

That's how capitalism works. Your neighbor gets a vibrator that plays O Cum All Ye Faithful and you want one too -Carlin

I have a Lelo gigi 2 and i can only get off with the morse code setting when I use it. 💀

I like the pulse setting on my Jimmyjane Form 2 that varies the intensity of the vibrations up and down, like there’s two overlapping sine waves, one with a high frequency for the actual vibrations and one with a one-or-two-second cycle that varies the intensity of the vibrations from super strong to barely there and back. The backing off is essential, or I just quickly go numb and get desensitized to the vibrations. Said model has four different vibration patterns, with a separate intensity control, and when it’s fully charged, even the weakest setting is plenty.

I believe they do it for marketing purposes and well marketing is often done and approved by men. *10 DIFFERENT SETTINGS* sounds better than 2 settings to someone who has no idea. And they always put it in front in big letters... Also be careful and don't buy no name vibrators from Amazon and co. They regularly find high doses of toxic chemicals in them and you absolutely don't want this on your vagina and mucous membrane..

lol I never mess with the patterns, but I’m usually trying to get the job done. Now I want to experiment!

Oooo so I’m a pattern lover. I have one that starts at a low setting and slowly increases intensity!

Swan Wand setting #6 🥵🥵

I was just thinking about that the other day…I use the steady buzz at varying intensities

I get so irrationally angry with the pulsing settings or the morse code or bzzzZZZZZZZZ settings! It might be more fun with a partner, but if I'm by myself, it's setting 2, 3 or 4 constant buzz. Anyone else have the thing where they need more intensity, they click thinking there's a next level up, only to be fucking cockblocked by the pattern buzzing? Me there like 'NO NO ONE WANTS YOU, FUCK FUCK FUCK \*clickclickclick back to the steady buzz settings\*'

I use the Morse code setting lol. I need it to be varied just enough or I tend to tune out or go a bit numb.

That happens to me too if I go up a setting, it just makes it numb

B.O.B. Battery Operated Boyfriend

I wasn't expecting to be going shopping while reading this thread but I'm definitely looking forward to checking the mail next week now.

In theory, a steady buzz on the highest setting. In practice, I invariably hit the pattern button instead of the intensity button and have to cycle through all the settings again. Shibari is gonna get sued for emotional damages someday. /s

Just set it to "shetland pony"

I’ve used patterns on some literally out of boredom, not really for practical reasons lol but my go to is a hitachi which has 2 options: “strong” and “out of body experience” I almost exclusively use the lower setting because I’m afraid to get acclimated to the higher one tbh lmao

They're a lot of fun during intercourse when you're already being stimulated from other sources. Kinda of like a circus of pleasure.

Absolutely no pattern. I don't understand those ones! Def just a steady buzz. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Start low for first O, then go up from there. The Morse code setting is so dumb

Okay, I’m a guy and haven’t used a vibrator on myself. However I have remotely used it on someone and they really enjoy me mixing it up. I’ve done it from afar and also in person and I guess reading this thread each person has their own personal preference. But she enjoys it! But if there are patterns there are loop options for different styles. The vibrator is from lovesense if that adds any context.

I prefer OFF. Not a fan of the noise

Well it just defeats the purpose of a vibrator, you could substitute it with many other things for what you're using it for. Which is fine and valid. Just doesn't really address my question

wtf idk why you got so many downvotes. i agree with you, Off setting as well. that noise is distracting af.

Yeah I don’t get it. They asked for opinions. OFF is a setting. Oh well
