A guide on
how to choose your vibe
It can be overwhelming to pick a new vibrator or pleasure product, especially if it is your first time shopping for one. The Lake exists to make this experience as pleasurable as possible; after all - this is about feeling good! We are here for you, so please ask us any questions you may have while shopping for your new vibrator.
As a starting point on this search, you can try closing your eyes and thinking about how you like to self-pleasure. This exercise might guide you in selecting a product with or without vibrations, one for external or internal stimulation, one for solo moments, or to share with a partner.
If this is all new to you or you are unsure, that's okay! These products are perfect for exploring and self-discovery.
For this reason, we like to refer to pleasure products, such as vibrators, as B.E.D.s or Body Exploration Devices. We believe pleasure products offer much more than delivering a quick orgasm; they are a way to explore and connect with yourself.
Our curation will save you time. The intimacy products you will find at The Lake have been carefully selected for their high quality, smart design and sensual appeal:
▪ We only offer products made with body-safe materials from reputable manufacturers.
▪ All vibrators shown are rechargeable, and most are either water-resistant or waterproof.
▪ Products have been selected for their beautiful aesthetic and tactile quality, such as the soft, squishy ridges on the Kushi 🐚
Here are our tips
to guide you in selecting a B.E.D.

If you are new to self-pleasure using a vibe or want to explore and learn more about what you find pleasurable, it is a good idea to pick a B.E.D. that is versatile.
Our top 2 picks for a first time vibrator is the Maude Vibe (available in green, grey or charcoal) and the Dame Dip (offered in plumor periwinklecolour).
Not only can they be used both externally and internally, they are water-resistant, rechargeable, have multiple intensities and have a powerful vibration.
One to use with a partner
View Partner Vibes
The Eva IIis a fun, hands-free vibe designed to provide external stimulation during penetration. We recommend giving it a few tries on your own before trying it with a partner because it can take some time to figure out the right way to make it work for your body.
A more straightforward option is the Fin. The Fin is a cute little finger vibe that you or your partner can attach to a finger. This vibe was designed to act as an extension of your hand, so may feel more natural to use if you are used to self-pleasuring without a device. This one is also an excellent choice for people with mobility issues.
One of our best-selling B.E.D.s is the Pom. This flexible vibe is designed to fit in the palm of your hand, and because of its shape, it can easily be placed between two bodies during sex.
For external stimulation

The Pom is great with a partner but is also a top pick for solo moments. Its design provides both broad and targeted stimulation thanks to its wide, curved shape and its little groove designed to target the clitoris.
For a new sensation, Aer is a powerful arousal tool for those who crave oral stimulation. Aer creates thrilling pulses of air and a soft seal around your clitoris, simulating a sensation of light suction. With this type of B.E.D. we recommend taking your time to get used to it - it isn't a vibrator so approach your first few experiences with an open mind! If you are considering the Aer, read "Exploring The Subtler Side Of Things With Aer And Arc - One Customer's Journey," an honest review/blog post from a customer. This one is better for solo rituals.
The Kushi is one of the most aesthetic and sensual vibes out there. If you love taking it slow and are drawn to texture and beautiful objects, this vibe could be for you. The Kushi is designed in the shape of a shell and is made of ultra-soft material that is pure pleasure to touch. The Kushi is waterproof, making it a fave to enjoy during bath rituals.
More powerful external vibes

If you are craving stronger, rumbly vibrations, the Com or the Arc both offer powerful vibes. The Com is Dame Products' fresh take on the iconic Magic Wand. Despite being a little noisier than the classic Magic Wand, its ergonomic shape and all-silicone, shower-friendly exterior make up for it! The Arc is designed as an internal vibe but can comfortably be used for external stimulation due to its curved tip and length.
For internal stimulation

The Arc is curved to help stimulate the erectile tissue around the urethral sponge. This is what is commonly referred to as the G-Spot (ummm... it's not actually a 'spot'!). You can find out more about the anatomy of pleasure here: A Case for Self Pleasure.
The structure of Arc can be a bit firm for some - there is no squish or flex. If you prefer something more supple, the Rin+ or the Minamo from Iroha both use the brand's soft-touch material that feels silky and squishy in the best way.
