REDBOOK’s resident ob/gyn, Hilda Hutcherson, M.D. gives vibrators 2 thumbs up!
Here’s what Dr. Hutcherson had to say,
“I tell all my friends that sex toys should be part of their repertoire in bed. As you age, and your estrogen level starts to go down, your clitoris becomes less sensitive – and this can start as early as age 35. One way of increasing your pleasure when this starts to happen is to use a vibrator. There’s no need to have at it alone with the doors closed and the curtains down; get your partner involved.”
Dr. Hutcherson is completely right. Most of our customers are looking to increase pleasure with a partner. As women age, sensitivity we once had starts to diminish. Vibrators stimulate and enhance the area bringing much needed blood flow to the clitoris allowing sensitivity and sensation to come back.
There are so many clitoral vibrators (called bullets) on the market to chose from. The Ipo (pictured to the right) by PicoBong is a great example of how to get your partner involved. The silicone shell is super soft and glides. Plus, there is a place for a finger, which, because of the stretch of the silicone, can accommodate most finger sizes. Perfect for yourself or with a partner.
