How to Use a Tongue Vibrator: A Step-by-Step Guide

How to use a tongue vibrator: charge it, wash it, warm up first, add a little water-based lube, then hold the moving tongue lightly against your clit on the lowest mode and work up slowly. Let the tongue do the licking. You only need to guide it and change the angle until it feels right. Most tongue toys also work on other sensitive spots, like your nipples.

A tongue vibrator has a soft, flexible tip that moves like a tongue, flicking or circling instead of just buzzing. Below you will find a step-by-step guide, tips for each of our tongue toys and how to clean and care for yours.

What is a tongue vibrator?

A tongue vibrator is a toy with a soft silicone tip that moves in a licking motion. Instead of a steady vibration, the tip flicks, taps or circles, which is why tongue toys are often described as feeling closer to oral sex than a classic vibrator does.

Tongue toys come in different shapes:

• Single tongue: one licking tip, like the Rose Tongue Vibrator, with 10 vibration and licking modes for nipples and clit.
• Double tongue: two licking tips, like the Double Trouble Tongue Vibrator, with 10 vibration modes from soft licking to intense stimulation.
• Tongue plus lips: the Mouth Master Tongue Vibrator has 10 licking circle movements and vibrating lip modes with an up-and-down motion.
• Tongue plus extension: the Rose Tongue Extendo combines a rose vibrator, a tongue and an extendo in one toy, with 10 licking and vibration modes. The extension vibrates and moves up and down.

All four are made of premium silicone that is hygienic and odorless, are waterproof and shower friendly, and charge with a magnetic USB cable that comes in the box.

How to use a tongue vibrator, step by step

Step 1: Charge it

Charge your toy fully with the magnetic USB cable before your first session. Make sure the toy is dry before you connect the cable.

Step 2: Wash it

Wash the tongue and the body with warm water and mild soap, rinse well and let it dry.

Step 3: Set the mood

Find a comfortable position, lying on your back with your knees bent or propped up on pillows. Take a few minutes to relax and touch yourself first. A relaxed, aroused body makes every sensation feel better.

Step 4: Add a little lube

A small amount of water-based lube on the tongue helps it glide instead of drag. It also makes the licking feel softer and more natural. Our Water Base Lube is one option.

Step 5: Start away from your clit

Turn the toy on at the lowest mode. Let the tongue move over your inner thighs, your lower belly or the outer area around your clit before you go directly on it. This builds anticipation.

Step 6: Find your spot

Bring the tongue to your clit and hold it lightly. You do not need to press. Try the tongue just above your clit, then directly on it, then to one side. Small changes in position can make a big difference.

Step 7: Move up the modes slowly

Stay on each mode for a while before you switch. Some modes flick fast, others lick slowly. Notice which ones you like and come back to them.

Step 8: Clean it right after

Wash it with warm water and mild soap, rinse it and let it air dry completely before you put it away.

Tips for each of our tongue toys

Rose Tongue Vibrator

The product page describes multi-zone teasing for nipples and clit. Try starting on your nipples on a low mode, then move down. The rose body is easy to hold, so you can guide the tongue with small wrist movements.

Double Trouble Tongue Vibrator

With two licking tips, it covers a little more area at once. If one tip on your clit feels too direct, try placing the clit between the two tips, or angle the toy so only one tip touches.

Mouth Master Tongue Vibrator

It combines licking circle movements with vibrating lip modes that move up and down. Start with the tongue only on a low setting, then explore the lip modes once you know what you like.

Rose Tongue Extendo

This one is a 3-in-1: rose vibrator, tongue and extendo. Use plenty of water-based lube on the extension, start with the tongue on your clit and guide the extension in slowly when you feel ready. Its extension vibrates and moves up and down by itself.

Which tongue toy should you start with?

• You want something simple: start with the Rose Tongue Vibrator. One tongue, 10 modes, easy to hold.
• You want more coverage: the Double Trouble Tongue Vibrator has two licking tips.
• You want variety: the Mouth Master Tongue Vibrator adds vibrating lip modes to the licking circles.
• You want internal and external play together: the Rose Tongue Extendo adds a moving extension.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Pressing too hard. The tongue needs room to move. Light contact usually feels better.
• Starting on the highest mode. Strong licking can feel like too much at first. Build up slowly.
• Going dry. A little lube makes a big difference with a moving tip.
• Staying on one spot for too long. If an area starts to feel too sensitive, move around or take a short break.

Using a tongue vibrator in the shower

All four of our tongue toys are waterproof and shower friendly, so the shower is a relaxed place to try them. Keep in mind that water washes lube away, so a silicone-safe, water-based lube may need reapplying more often. Hold the wall or sit down if you need to, and always dry the toy before you charge it.

How to clean and store a tongue vibrator

• Wash after every use with warm water and mild soap. Pay attention to the base of the tongue, where lube can collect.
• Rinse well and pat dry with a clean towel.
• Air dry completely before charging or storing.
• Use a pouch to keep dust and lint away from the silicone.
• Keep the magnetic cable with the toy so it is always ready to charge.
