How To Charge A Vibrator And The Fastest Way To Do It
Charging a vibrator is easy but there is a right (and wrong) way to do it. It’s important to remember that how you charge it ultimately affects how long it takes.

Although the beauty of using a rechargeable vibrator is that you never have to worry about replacing the batteries, you do have to charge your sex toy periodically because batteries run down over time.
Here’s what you need to know about charging your vibrator:
- The fastest way to charge a USB rechargeable vibrator is by directly plugging it into a USB electrical outlet — a wall outlet that contains a USB port. Devices, on average, charge much faster this way, compared to an AC wall adapter.
- Vibrators need to be charged, on average, after 1 to 2 hours of use — although some models will run for up to 4 hours on a full charge. Every vibrator is different but the user manual should always have this information available if you’re unsure.
- Most vibrators reach a full charge after about 2 hours, although some take up to 3 hours, depending on the model.
- Many vibrators need to be charged before their first use, but not all of them do — again, your vibrator’s manual should clarify best practices.
- Contemporary rechargeable vibrators most often use a USB charger that plugs into a laptop, USB hub, or AC USB adapter.
Most vibrators take somewhere between 1 and 3 hours to reach a full charge and require charging after anywhere from 1 to 2 hours of use — but all of this depends on the exact model you’re using.
