 controlled devices which can provide various patterns or irregularities in the vibration, rather than a uniform wave of vibration. For example, there can be the following patterns of vibrations: pulsating (short pulse-like vibrating sessions), escalation (vibrating motions that start with slow speed and stop abruptly), surging (mixture of pulsation and normal vibrating), etc. This effect greatly enhances the pleasure experienced by the user.

Some eggs come without the wire connecting the device and are designed for distant teasing, but never anal play, as they may be lost in the anal cavity.

Materials

Love eggs can be made of rubber

Types

Love eggs come in several different types that are designed for multi-functional applications:

• Single egg or bullet. This type offers a single love egg or bullet activated and operated by a control panel. There are also bullet vibrators without any control panel. Batteries are included in the body of the vibrating bullet. This sex toy usually is not multi-functional.
• Double eggs or bullets. The double egg vibrator can be controlled separately providing different vibrating speed and intensity that allows applying them for double penetration or stimulation.
• Wireless love egg with a remote control. This egg comes without the wire, and is controlled by external remotes.
• Love egg with sleeves. The variety of egg sleeves gives more opportunities for their application and also provides the new sensations. Some sets include sleeves and are sold together with the love eggs. Sleeves are usually made of the soft pleasant to touch materials and may be covered by textural nubs and ribs that bring the extra stimulation.
• Love bullets of different shapes. There are a group of bullet vibrators that are not shaped like an egg, but closer to it, though they are included in the group of bullet vibrators. They may have a textured surface for additional stimulation. There can be variations with rotating beads inserted in the egg's body.

Use and pleasure

Love eggs are a versatile sex toy that can be used both by men and women. Initially love eggs have been created for external stimulation of the erogenous zones, but their shape allows also penetrating applications:

• Vaginal penetration. Love eggs are inserted into vagina like a tampon and activated delivering the sessions of vibrations.
• Anal penetration. Anal penetration is especially pleasurable with a love egg combined with stimulation of other erogenous zones.
• Clitoris stimulation. Holding the love egg against the clitoris, the female receive a series of vibrations responding by sexual arousal.
• Nipples stimulation. Nipples are very sensitive spots, stimulation of those creates the added sensations.
• Testicles and penis head stimulation. Men can also use the love egg for stimulation of their other erogenous zones besides anus and prostate.

All these methods can be applied during masturbation
