How does a rabbit vibrator work?
A rabbit vibrator has two parts joined at the handle. The longer shaft goes inside and usually curves toward the front wall, where the G-spot area sits. The short outer arm, the "ears", rests on the clitoris at the same time.
Inside are one, two or three motors. With one motor, both parts buzz together at the same strength. With two motors, you can usually set the shaft and the ears separately, which is the main reason people upgrade.
Newer rabbits add a second type of movement:
- Thrusting: the shaft extends and retracts on its own. Published strokes in the range are 1.5 to 2 cm.
- Rotating or sliding beads: a band of beads inside the shaft moves under the silicone.
- Suction ear: the outer arm uses air pulses instead of plain vibration.
- Tapping, flapping or licking tips: the ear moves in a rhythm rather than buzzing.
- Heating: stated temperatures run from 39 to 42 °C.
How to use a rabbit vibrator, step by step
- Charge it fully before first use and learn which button runs which motor.
- Wash it with warm water and mild, unscented soap, then dry it.
- Apply a generous amount of water-based lube to the shaft and to yourself.
- Lie back with knees bent, or on your side with a pillow under your hips.
- Switch on the ears only, at the lowest setting, and rest them against the clitoris first.
- Insert the shaft slowly, curve toward your belly, and stop wherever feels comfortable. Full depth is not needed.
- Adjust the angle so the ears stay in contact. Rocking the handle usually works better than pushing in and out.
- Raise one motor at a time. On a thrusting model, start on the slowest stroke and let the toy do the moving.
If the ears slide off, hold the arm in place with one finger. Stop straight away if anything feels painful, then clean the toy and let it dry fully.
How to choose a rabbit vibrator
These ranges come from the 121 rabbit vibrators in the 1sttoy range. Prices run NZ$30 to NZ$180, with a median of NZ$65. Most sit between NZ$50 and NZ$79.
1. Insertable length, not total length
Only 30 listings publish an insertable length. Those run 7.5 to 15 cm, with a median of 12.7 cm. Total lengths run 11.7 to 27 cm because the handle adds several centimetres.
2. Shaft width
69 listings publish a shaft or head width, from 2.0 to 4.5 cm. The median is 3.5 cm, and 59 of those 69 fall between 3.0 and 4.0 cm. If you searched for a thick rabbit, look at 4 cm and above.
3. One motor or two
At least 28 listings state two or three motors, from NZ$30 upward. Separate controls let you keep the ears gentle while the shaft runs stronger, or the other way round.
4. Extra motion
32 listings add thrusting or a telescopic shaft, with a median price of NZ$72.50. 25 add suction and 24 add heating, both with a median of NZ$65.
5. Power and water rating
88 listings charge by USB or magnetic cable, and three run on AAA batteries. Only 32 publish an IPX rating, and 21 of those are IPX7.

Classic dual-motor rabbits
The original design: a vibrating shaft plus vibrating ears. It suits a first rabbit, with only one kind of sensation to learn.
The Rabbit Vibrator – 10 Modes, Silicone, Rechargeable, 23 cm (NZ$45) has a dual motor, 10 modes and a 12.5 cm insertable length. The Rabbit Vibrator – Dual Motor, 30 Modes, Battery Powered (NZ$30) runs on 2 × AAA batteries, so there is no charger to pack.
The Rabbit Vibrator – 3-in-1 Anal Beads Arm, 9 Modes, IPX7 (NZ$100) adds an anal-beads arm, two motors and IPX7. Browse all rabbit vibrators.
Thrusting and rotating-bead rabbits
Thrusting models move the shaft for you, so you hold the toy still and focus on the angle. The Rabbit Vibrator – Dual Motor, Telescopic, 10 Modes (NZ$40) has 3 telescopic modes and a 4 cm head.
The Thrusting Rabbit Vibrator – Rotating Head, 9 Modes, Ribbed (NZ$72) has the longest published insertable length, 15 cm, and 360° head rotation. The Thrusting Rabbit Vibrator – Rotating Beads, 10 Modes (NZ$85) adds 6 rotating modes and a 2 cm thrust.
The Rabbit Vibrator – Sliding Beads, Tapping Ears, IPX7 (NZ$78) uses sliding beads with tapping ears, and is IPX7 rated. See all thrusting vibrators.
Suction-ear rabbits
A suction ear works like a rose toy on the outside with a shaft on the inside. It can suit people who find direct vibration too buzzy or numbing.
The Rabbit Vibrator – Clitoral Suction, Heating, 10 Modes, IPX7 (NZ$40) has 10 suction modes, heating to 39 °C and an IPX7 rating. The Rabbit Vibrator – Suction, Flapping Arm, 10 Modes (NZ$99) adds a flapping arm and a 14 cm insertable length.
For suction toys without a shaft, see clitoral vibrators.
Heating, app and wearable rabbits
Heating warms the silicone, which some people find more comfortable from the start. The Rabbit Vibrator – Heating, Dual Motor, 9 Modes (NZ$95) heats to 42 °C and has two motors with 9 modes each.
App control lets a partner run the settings, including from another room. The Rabbit Vibrator – App Control, Flapping Tip, LCD Display, Purple (NZ$110) adds sweeping and tapping functions.
The Wearable Rabbit Vibrator – Flapping, App or Remote, 9 Modes (from NZ$65) is a wearable rabbit. It has a 7.5 cm insertable arm, app or remote control and an IPX7 rating. See wearable vibrators.
What the other guides don't tell you
- The ears may not reach at full depth. The distance from the vaginal opening to the clitoris varies between bodies. If the ears miss, insert less, not more, or choose a flexible arm.
- Total length hides the insertable part. The Rabbit Vibrator – Flapping Tongue, 12 Modes, 24 cm is 24 cm long but has 9 cm insertable. Compare insertable length and width, not the headline number.
- Run times are short. 21 listings state a run time, mostly 45 to 90 minutes. Many need about 2 hours to charge, so charge before you plan to use it.
- "Waterproof" without a number is vague. Only 32 of 121 publish an IPX rating. IPX7 means brief submersion is fine; splash-proof means rinse only.
- Noise numbers are supplier figures. 27 listings quote 40 to 60 dB. Two motors at top speed will be louder than either alone.

Frequently asked questions
What is a rabbit vibrator?
A rabbit vibrator is a dual-stimulation toy with an insertable shaft and a short external arm shaped like rabbit ears. The shaft reaches the G-spot area while the ears rest on the clitoris. In the 1sttoy range they cost NZ$30 to NZ$180, with a median of NZ$65, and most are rechargeable.
How does a rabbit vibrator work?
One or more motors inside the handle drive the shaft and the ears. Single-motor models vibrate both parts at the same strength. Dual-motor models let you set each part separately. Newer designs add thrusting, rotating beads, suction, tapping or heating on top of vibration.
How do you use a rabbit vibrator for the first time?
Charge it, wash it and add plenty of water-based lube. Start with the ears on the clitoris at the lowest setting. Then insert the shaft slowly, angled toward your belly, only as far as feels comfortable. Rock the handle gently and raise one motor at a time.
What lube should I use with a rabbit vibrator?
Use a water-based lube. Most rabbits in the range are silicone or silicone and ABS plastic, and silicone lube can damage a silicone surface over time. Apply it to the shaft and to yourself, and add more whenever things feel dry. Our lube guide compares the types.
What size rabbit vibrator should I get?
Check insertable length and width rather than total length. In the 1sttoy range, published insertable lengths run 7.5 to 15 cm and widths 2.0 to 4.5 cm. A first rabbit around 3.3 to 3.5 cm wide sits near the range median. Anyone wanting a thick rabbit should look at 4 cm or more.
Is a thrusting rabbit vibrator worth it?
It is worth it if you want the toy to provide the movement while you hold it still. Thrusting rabbits in the range start at NZ$40 and have a median price of NZ$70. Published strokes are 1.5 to 2 cm, so the movement is short and rhythmic rather than deep.
Why don't the rabbit ears reach my clitoris?
The gap between the shaft and the ears is fixed, but bodies vary. Try inserting the shaft less deeply, changing the angle, or holding the ears in place with a finger. A flexible arm or a wearable rabbit can also fit better than a rigid design.
Can you use a rabbit vibrator with a partner?
Yes. A partner can hold and angle the handle for you, or run the settings on an app-controlled model. Side-lying positions leave room for the ears without squashing them against either body. For toys designed around two people, see our couples toys guide.
