Happy Easter everyone, let’s talk about bunnies and eggs, shall we? ‘Tis the season after all, though I would argue that the time is always right to get your hands on a new sex toy. I think Jesus said something like that, too.
Anyway, rabbits, not the cute furry kind, nor the Cadbury chocolate kind, are brightly coloured, motorised vibrators. There’s a shaft for insertion, as well as a smaller ‘arm’, which resembles rabbit ears, to target the clit.
And eggs, rabbits’ shyer, less showy cousin, aren’t a bad idea either. Rounded or oblong shaped, eggs often come with cords for easy removal and a wireless remote for control over distance. If you’re searching for something that’ll have you coming in IKEA while you’re considering bedside tables, then it might be for you. In other words, eggs are discrete and simple looking.
If you’re thinking of treating yourself to a fancy new toy and aren’t really sure whether you should be asking for rabbits, eggs, chickens or ducks, I’m here to help. But spoiler alert, there aren’t any toys named after poultry…yet.
Rabbit Vibrators
Why you will like it:
Dual stimulation. This is a pretty big one. How many times have you given yourself a crick in the wrist trying to get your g-spot while stimulating your clitoris in the exact way the fickle Lil’ buddy requires? Many. The beauty of rabbits is they’ll hit your G-spot as well as your clit. Vibrations travel along the shaft for vaginal arousal, while the arm or rabbit ears, quiver against your clitoris for gentler more targeted pleasure. Massaging both hot spots can lead to two climaxes at once sometimes known as blended orgasms.
Pressure reliever. Rabbits also take the pressure off a partner if they’re finding coordination tricky (hey, we weren’t all made to rub our stomachs and pat our heads at the same time, you know).
Utilising the rabbit with your partner means they can step back a little, take a breather and let the toy do some of the work, letting you get fully into the moment. And, for those in a heterosexual partnership, a sex toy that’s so targeted to provide you with both vaginal and clitoral orgasms will certainly help the bridge the orgasm gap.
Range of shapes and sizes. Rabbits are made fairly exclusively for those with a vagina, and if there’s one thing I know from having one and regularly discussing them in graphic detail over weekend pancakes with my friends, it’s that everyone’s vagina is different. Thankfully, rabbits come in various sizes, with differing designs for the shaft end and the ears.
Choose one that reflects the shape and size of your vagina, clit, or where your g-spot is located. Of the rabbits on the market, some are curved, some are straight, some have rotating beads inside the shaft. There’s even a triple stimulation one for those ambitious people wanting to have a go at working anal pleasure in too.
Things to keep in mind:
Slightly Complicated. When compared to more straightforward vibrators, rabbits can be a little harder to handle and perhaps a little more complicated to get the hang of. Practice makes perfect, of course, and any sex toy will take a couple of goes to get sorted.
Not really targeted for those who only have clitoral orgasms. The rabbit is optimised for those who want some fairly intense vaginal penetration and is focused on giving you a dual orgasm, but keep in mind 75% of people with vaginas aren’t able to come from internal stimulation.
If you’re primarily a clitoral comer, then dual action vibrators are perhaps a ‘too many frills’ kind of toy. However, the rabbit is certainly the toy to turn to if you’re keen to learn how to enjoy penetration or achieve powerful combined orgasms – never say never.
Solo sex rating: . Who needs another person’s hands when you’ve got the dual stimulation situation?
Partner sex rating: . Could potentially render your partner less active but sex can be hard work and there’s nothing wrong with a bit of a rest or a water break.
Group sex rating: . One person will be having all the fun, though.

Egg Vibrators
Why you will like it:
Discrete. Eggs are the little buddies of the sex toy world, being a fairly ambiguous shape and generally small sized. Bigger than bullets, eggs can be used for either external or internal stimulation. Their rounded, body-friendly shape (and easiness to secure in your underwear) makes them a discrete option for either solo, partner, or even public play.
Partner-friendly. The friskiest thing about a vibrating egg is the remote aspect of it. From a comfortable distance or secret location, you can make your partner come, applying a fun dynamic to your shared sexual experience.
If you’re feeling really daring, pop an egg in, head to the shops and give your partners the remote for some risky public play.
Versatile. As well as being used in a variety of situations outside the bedroom, eggs are versatile in term of what body part it can be used on. Insert eggs into the vagina or anus, circle it around the clitoris, or run it against the penis or testicles. If your partner already has a toy inside them, press the egg against the base to make it vibrate.
Things to keep in mind:
Shape. When inserted, the round shape can be a little tricky to get used to. If you’re keen on using it inside you, consider grabbing an egg with a slightly slimmer build, with a cord attached for easy retrieval.
If you prefer external use only and are going hands-free – and braving the public – just make sure your underwear can hold it. Might be a difficult thing to explain in aisle 3 at Coles. Alternatively, you can opt for panties with a hidden pocket.
Lack of fine control. If you’re the type of person whose vagina is a VERY STRICT lady of habit, and you can only come in one particular way, the egg might not be your dream toy. Vaginas are strong-willed and often like to be set in their ways; if you’re not doing the thing just right, in just the right place, sometimes it’s like you’re not doing the thing at all. Try grabbing an egg with multiple speed settings to give yourself the best chance. Or, if you’re using them with a partner, surrender the remote and lean into the power play. The lack of control leaves you vulnerable to unpredictable thrills.
Solo sex rating: . High marks for everyone who’s ever known the ‘sore wrist the next day’ syndrome post-masturbation.
Partner sex rating: . Enter into a sexy, powerplay dynamic re: who has the remote control (if you’re into that).
Group sex rating: . The use of a remote can create a bit more physical space as it can be used from a distance, making things and bodies flow a little easier – more than two sets of genitals can become a crowd unless you have a king mattress.
