Is it safe to use vibrators when you're pregnant?

Contributor: northstar northstar
I'd agree that outside stimulation is probably fine. Vibes, there may be a very minimal risk, but dildos would be fine, as would regular pee-pees.

Wouldn't you think it's best to just not use an insertable toy for 10 months??

I know this doesn't make a good poll question, but popularity votes could play a distinct role in answering this question.
Depends on the person and their pregnancy, but mostly yes.

I used vibrators when I was pregnant without any problems although when i started to leak fluid I had to stop. I wasn't even allowed to have sex and figured vibrators fell in the same category.

I've heard that it was fine from other people who have been pregnant.

I think it would have to depend on the intensity of the vibrations, the duration & the frequency. If it is a "normal buzz buzz" vibe I would say it is safe. If it were powerful I'd stay away. Also was the vibe for G-Spot or clitoral stimulation.
But I'm sure you can find that almost everything is unsafe while pregnant these days

if you can put a penis in there during pregnancy whats wrong with a dildo or vaginal balls? barring any other risk factors its not a huge problem.

as long as it's body safe, then there shouldn't be an issue. just take care of yourself; there's nothing wrong with masturbation or sex during pregnancy

I would think vibrators would be SAFER because they don't thrust like a penis does.

I'd be afraid for any sort of vibrations, especially hitachi ones. Myself, personally would rather be safe than sorry.

I don't think it's an issue but she should ask her doctor or do some research.

I believe depending oin your sensitivity ex: material irritation and UTIs. I believe you dont want anything that may lead to complications. Therefore, I say yes just make sure the quality is top notch!

I just read an article about using a vibrator during labor which said it was OK. Im not sure otherwise though

I'm definitely not an expert so I marked unsure. I think any sex toy company would say not to use their toys while pregnant just to protect themselves from possible lawsuits. All I know is my wife used them internally during a previous pregnancy and now during our current pregnancy and no ill effects or extra-early deliveries so far. She's never been high-risk or anything. It may be one of those things where you have to know your own body.

I think it's about as safe as actual sex during your pregnancy. But if you're friend isn't comfortably inserting a vibrator while pregnant than stick to a clit vibe only.

As long as you're careful I don't see why not.

It's safe to have sex I would think that it's safe to use a vibrator. Although considering each pregnancy is different I would say ask your doctor just to be safe.

I've never been pregnant, but I would assume that it would be safe. It's safe to have sex while pregnant, so why not use sex toys as well.
