Your Guide to Finding the Perfect Rabbit By Victoria Fleming

Even if this is your first foray into masturbatory toys, you’ve most likely heard of the iconic Rabbit vibrator. Since its first media appearance in the 1990’s (courtesy of a Sex and the City episode aptly named “the Turtle and the Hare), Rabbits have been flying off the proverbial shelf at rapid rates. An immeasurable amount of styles, shapes, colours, functions, or features hit the market as fast as rabbits procreate (yes, I went there). When doing a quick search for “Rabbit” on our website, in mere milliseconds, over 100 options pop up on the screen. Unsurprisingly, with the plethora of options available, it’s difficult, even overwhelming, figuring out which Rabbit satisfies all your needs.

Luckily, this guide will help you hunt through this daunting sea of rabbits until you lay your eyes on ‘the one.’

So, first things first, what exactly is the Rabbit?

‘Rabbit’ is a synonym for a dual vibrator, meaning there are features for internal and external stimulation. At it’s core, most rabbits come with two ‘ears’ (occasionally only one) which targets the clitoris, as well as a shaft for vaginal penetration. This double feature is what makes the rabbit a go-to bedroom companion for most people – it works on two erogenous zones, clitoral and vaginal.

You might be wondering how the Rabbit got such a friendly, unassuming name when it’s such a powerful device. Interestingly, the vibrator received its name as a way to bypass laws restricting the manufacturing and selling of masturbatory toys. Vibratex, the Japanese company who invented the Rabbit, made their toys look like fun, playful, and colourful animals to discretely bring this magical vibrator to the Japanese people.

Now that you know what the Rabbit essentially is, let’s move on to the first thing you should always ask when looking for a vibrator or dildo: what is it made of.

Since you’re using (or inserting) these toys in private places, it’s important to be aware of the materials. Cheaper toys are typically made with porous and potentially toxic materials. Stay away from anything made with PVC.

All our Rabbits are made of either TPR (thermoplastic rubber), silicone, or glass. In terms of price, TPR lands on the least expensive side, silicone in the middle to expensive, and glass typically airs on the expensive side.

If you’re a first-time buyer, I recommend purchasing a toy in the middling price range. Remember, you can’t return your toy after purchasing it. Spending $200 on a toy and realizing it doesn’t fit, physically or sexually, would be unfortunate at best and infuriating at worst.

For ease, here is a quick breakdown of the different materials we offer. If you want to dive deeper into the details, check out our sex toy materials guide.

The next question you should be asking yourself is, what am I using it for?

The function, style, or type of Rabbit you select depends on what you want it to do. Some questions I keep in mind when scrolling through the abundance of options available are:

• Girth or no girth - what type of thickness works for me
• Length or depth – how deeply do I want the penetration? How much can I handle?
• Sensitivity – especially for the clitoris, how much pressure or stimulation am I looking for?

Before purchasing your perfect rabbit, I recommend doing some trial-runs on yourself using the plain-old-tested-and-true style of gadget-free masturbation, your fingers. By playing around with yourself, you’ll have a better idea about what you’re looking for in a toy.

Ok, so you know what the Rabbit is, what kind of materials are available, and after some self-satisfying pleasurable trial-runs, you know what you’re looking for. It’s time to look at the different functions Rabbits have to offer.

The Rabbit comes with such wide-ranging options because it’s a dual-vibrator. Meaning, there are “dual” customizable components – the shaft and the clitoral piece.

Let’s start with shaft.

While all Rabbits vibrate, the shaft can come with three primary functions: classic, thrusting, or rotating.

Classic: Ah, the basic but certainly not boring classic vibrator. This dual stimulator comes equipped with a few vibrating patterns which will almost definitely get you off. This is a great option for solo or couple newcomers. 

Rotating: For those looking for extra stimulation, the rotating rabbit has a moveable rotating mid-section and comes with a variety of speeds. If that’s not enough, the middle part is comprised of beads to bring you even more pleasure. 

Thrusting: Thrusting or ‘pulsating’ Rabbits thrust rather than vibrate (however, some vibrate too). If you’re looking for a more realistic (read: like real life sex) experience, this Rabbit’s for you. It’s thrusting shaft prevents you from having to do the arm-work yourself. 

Functions aside, there are three additional features to look at when deciding what kind of shaft works for your body and needs: length, shape, and girth. Girth we will address later when we get to special features.

Length: The majority of Rabbits we offer range between 8-11 inches, with the insertable length ranging from 4-6 inches, about the average size of a penis. If you’re looking for a shallow penetrative vibrator, pick a shorter Rabbit. For deeper penetration, look at the longer ones.

Shape: The shape, or curve, of your Rabbit’s shaft is important to think about when considering what you want your rabbit to do. There are essentially two shapes here: the classic or the g-spot. The Classic comes with a straighter shaft and a bulbous head – this is a great option if you’re looking for a realistic penetrative feeling. G-Spot Rabbits shafts have a slight curve, intended to reach and stroke, yes, you’ve guessed it, the g-spot. The angled curve is great for people with slimmer vaginas or for anyone looking for a Rabbit that specifically reaches the g-spot. 

Moving along to the clitoral piece, there are four primary options: one, two, or three ‘ears’, and the butterfly.

One Ear: While the single ‘ear’ devices are solid, lacking the typical ‘ear’ look, for the sake of consistency and simplicity, we will call it an ear. Single ‘ear’ clitoral pieces provide direct stimulation on the clitoris.

Two Ears: If you’re wondering why the Rabbit’s clitoral devices are called ears, the Rabbit’s traditional two-prong clitoral piece juts out, giving the appearance of “ears” (which is also fitting for a vibrator called “the Rabbit”). The soft ears move up and down along the sides of the clitoris. If you find direct clitoral stimulation to be too much, the lighter “grazing” feeling of this clitoral device is perfect for you. Depending on the size of your clitoris, there are longer ears available. 

Three Ears: As you’ve probably guessed, “three eared” Rabbits have three prongs attached to the clitoral piece. Three ears, also known as “the claw”, gives full surrounding clitoral stimulation. With an additional ear working it’s magic on the clitoris, expect a higher level of intensity. Unless you know your body and the level of sensation you can handle extremely well, I would hold off on purchasing a three eared Rabbit. 

Butterfly: The butterfly is geared to stimulate every aspect of external female pleasure – the clitoris and the labia. This clitoral piece comes with the two traditional ears stroking the sides of the clitoris as well as two bigger “butterfly” antennas reaching the sides of the labia. The butterfly clitoral piece isn’t for the faint hearted. 

Phewf. We’ve finally covered all of the various and complex elements of Rabbit Vibrators.

Okay, we did it. You can wipe off the bead of sweat dripping from your brow.
