If you watch Sex and the City, you’ve probably heard of the jack rabbit vibrator. But what exactly is a rabbit vibrator? Why is it so special, and why do women go nuts for them? Here we’ll reveal all the intricacies of the rabbit vibrator’s inner workings, how to use one, and the care and feeding of your rabbit vibe.

What makes a jack rabbit vibrator unique? Don’t all vibrators do the same thing, i.e., get you off? Most vibrators are made to be used on the clit, or inserted in the vagina, and some are explicitly designed to stimulate the G-spot. But a rabbit vibrator does everything, and we mean everything, at once. It is a type of multifunction vibrator that stimulates multiple areas with independence. A rabbit-style vibrator consists of a vibrating penis-shaped shaft that usually contains a bulging midsection full of rotating beads or pearls that aligns with the G-spot. The head of the shaft often rotates, wiggles, or swivels as well. And on top of all that, the little bunny rabbit – or other critter – sits atop your clit and tickles your hot button. If that wasn’t enough, some rabbit vibrators also feature an extension to probe or nudge against your asshole. All that grinding, buzzing, vibrating, and rotating might get a little overwhelming, so many rabbit vibrators have separate controls for each vibration function and have multiple speeds so you can manage the intensity of the experience.
Enter the Rabbit
The rabbit vibrator originates in Japan, appropriately the source for many other high-tech gadgets. The design of the rabbit vibrator reflects that of classical Asian dildos, as does its incorporation of a whimsical animal figure as a functional decoration. You may notice an unusual feature on the rabbit vibrator – a human face on the underside of the head of the cock, positioned so that the cock head itself looks like the person’s hair. Don’t be disturbed by this. This is related to Japanese laws prohibiting the sale of “realistic” sex toys. Manufacturers intended to get around these laws by modeling the penis portion after a human figure.
There are a wide variety of jack rabbit vibrators now on the market, many of which feature animals other than rabbits as the clit stimulator. The butterfly vibrator, the beaver vibrator, and the dolphin vibrator are all variations on the jackrabbit theme. There are literally hundreds of rabbit vibes now on the market, but the best and highest-quality models still come from Japan. They may be a little more expensive, but the rabbit vibrator is sophisticated, so you want to get a reliable one. Because of all the different vibrations and functions, rabbit vibes have a lot of internal mechanical parts. Cheap models can easily jam, short circuit, or burn out.
One Size Fits All?
One problem that some women have when they use a jack rabbit vibrator is the clit stimulator or the rotating bead pack doesn’t quite align with the spots that they’re supposed to, so they don’t get the full effect. Every woman’s body is a little different, so not all vibrators will fit everyone. But some rabbit vibrators come with removable clit stimulators so that part can be positioned where ever you want it. In addition, the insertable part of most rabbit vibes usually tends to be a bit on the short side, although the additional girth of the pearl pack can compensate for what’s lacking in length.
Keeps Going and Going
Because rabbit vibrators have a lot of mechanical parts to power, they can suck the juice out of batteries quicker than the average vibrator. So if you own one, expect this and stock up on heavy-duty alkaline batteries, or get some environmentally friendly rechargeable batteries.
However, the speed with which a rabbit vibe can get you off may offset the higher battery drain since you probably won’t need to use it for long before it brings you to climax. It’s not advisable to use a multifunction vibrator for long periods, anyway. The motor and vibrators can overheat with prolonged use. If it seems like your rabbit vibrator is getting too hot or is making an unusual noise, switch it off and let it cool down.
To prolong the life of your rabbit vibrator, treat it with care when handling, storing, and using it. Most rabbit vibrators are made of jelly rubber, so always use a water-based lubricant to preserve the material; oil and petroleum lube will make it break down. When washing it, ensure not to get any water on the controls or battery pack unless it’s a waterproof model. Try not to overuse your rabbit vibe, but don’t be surprised if it quickly becomes your go-to sex toy. You may never go back to using an ordinary vibrator.
