Numb from vibo: is that possible?

Sorry, not sorry. A couple of fingers often can't compare to a Magic Wand, Womanizer, LELO, or other powerful erotic tools. And why would you still do it the old school way when you have such luxury toys lying in your nightstand? Well, those who have a food processor don't stir by hand, right? According to some, you could become numb in the downstairs department from vibrating toys. LotteLust investigates whether it's fact or fiction.

The dead vagina syndrome

That's a bit shocking, isn't it, such a term. The dead vagina syndrome has been floating around the internet for years. The term refers to your clitoris becoming less sensitive or numb due to excessive use of a vibrator.

We'll help you out of the nightmare: the dead vagina syndrome doesn't really exist.

However, your clitoris can indeed be a bit less sensitive after using a vibrator on turbo mode for a long time. How strong this effect is varies from woman to woman.

Rest assured: the temporarily ‘numbing’ feeling should disappear after about an hour. ‘The idea that you can numb your nerves in your vagina and then be unable to have an orgasm is absolutely incorrect,’ says Leah Millheiser, director of the Female Sexual Medicine Program at Stanford University.

It can also occur when you use your fingers. It also explains the phenomenon that some women do not (anymore) reach a happy ending with hard or prolonged stimulation. No worries; just keep shopping for those luxury toys.
