I just hate the ones that sound like something is "loose" in the motor. I dont know why, but when they sound more like a weed wacker, it kinda creeps me out!!!

Yes usually. Right now I like something quiet, I was really bummed when I got a toy I wanted and the battery rattles around inside My fiance put some rolled up paper around the battery and that helped a little. I also like something soft/velvety.

The vibration power is easy to sample with hand or fingers first. But if the vibe comes with an unusual shape it's harder to determine how it'll feel in use.

I have had a few vibes I thought I would not enjoy when I opened the box or started them up, but was pleasantly wrong...once really putting them through their paces.

Yep. Mostly I can tell by just testing on my finger if its too buzzy or rumbly for me.

Yes But sometimes I will think there weak but the position of the vibration will make it work

Yes, I can usually tell by holding it in my hand.

Usually, yeah. The quality of the vibrations (buzzy vs. rumbly) is almost more important to me than the actual power.

I usually can tell in my hand but then the extra features surprise me like the curving of my G-Ki totally blew me away after I inserted it and started breathing heavy almost instantly. I didn't expect that kind of reaction.

I generally can tell if its vibes are gonna be my bag or not. When I first get a new toy, I got through the functions too, and I'll know.

That's the one advantage to the high end brick and mortar stores. I've perhaps overpaid for a few toys because I wanted to handle them first, and then I feel obligated to buy them there once I've made the trip and bothered the salesperson. But at least I knew I wasn't spending big bucks for buzzy vibes.

I actually have to try it many times to decide if I like it. I can't tell by turning it on.

Here's a tip a woman working in a toy store gave me: turn it on and press it to the tip of your nose; if it makes you feel like you need to sneeze its probably going to be a good fit. I've only tried that with a few toys so do with it what you will.

I usually try a vibe out two or three before I form a real opinion of it.

Yes, for most of my toys. But then again, never judge a vibrator by it's sound-- you may just have your mind blown away!

Yep, I can usually tell if I'll like a vibrator when I first power it up and use it on my hand.
