Differing slightly in design from a bullet vibrator with a larger size and shape, a lay-on vibrator is a hand-held vibrating sex toy designed to be used externally to stimulate sensitive areas of the body, such as the clitoris, nipples and perineum. Small and discreet in size and design, they can be used during masturbation, foreplay or sex to add additional stimulation.

What sets lay-on vibes aside from other vibrators is the number of different ways you can use them. Lay-on vibrators are a breed of clitoral vibrators that are generally egg or oval shaped, and can be used to massage any part of the body.
Their smooth, oval surface makes the vibrations easily dispersed and less intensive than a pin-point clitoral vibrator, which makes them perfect for stimulating the clitoris without being over-powering.
They're also unintimidating to introduce to the bedroom during foreplay or sex with a partner, making them a great entry-level vibe for couples!
Lay on vibrators are not intended to be used internally like a traditional vibrator with a shaft. They are designed to be used on any sensitive area of the outside of the body to add extra stimulation.
Lay-on clitoral massagers can be used on any external part of the body, such as the nipples and other erogenous zones, to stimulate your partner's senses and get you in the mood for more.
Simply turn on the lay on massager add lubricant to the areas you want to stimulate, and hold the vibrator in place to add simulation, such as positioning on the clitoris for direct clitoral stimulation.
If used during couples' play, the vibrator acts as the perfect catalyst for foreplay providing clitoral stimulation for her and stimulation around the shaft and balls for him. They can also be used for additional stimulation during sex, without getting in the way.
