What is the difference between tapping and vibration? Vibration is a fast, continuous buzz or rumble that spreads through the tissue around the point of contact. Tapping is a distinct, repeated pulse against one spot, closer to the rhythm of a fingertip drumming than to a hum. Some people find tapping builds arousal without the numb feeling that strong vibration can cause over time. A toy that offers both lets you switch between them, or alternate, during one session.
Playboy Pleasure Palm: tap on one end, vibrate on the other
Palm is a two-ended external vibrator from Playboy Pleasure, shaped to sit in the hand and rest against the body. The wider end produces focused tapping. The tapered end gives strong vibration. Each end has its own motor, and each motor runs through 10 speeds and rhythms.
The body is covered in smooth, velvety silicone. Because the motors work independently, you can run either end alone or combine them.
Best for: For people who like external stimulation and want more than one kind of sensation in a single toy. The hand-filling shape suits anyone who struggles to grip small bullets, and it is easy to hold between partners.

How to use
Hold Palm so it sits naturally in your hand. Switch on one motor at a time to learn what each end does. Apply a little water-based lubricant to the end you plan to use. Rest the wider end over the clitoris for tapping, starting at the lowest setting, or turn it around and use the tapered tip for vibration. Change the speed or rhythm as you go. You can also run both motors and hold the body of the toy flat against you. It is made for external use. Clean it when you finish.
Care
- Use water-based lubricant only on the silicone surface.
- Clean with warm water and mild soap or toy cleaner after each use.
- No water rating is stated, so do not submerge it; never boil it or use a dishwasher.
- Follow the instructions in the package for powering or charging it.
- Store it dry and away from other silicone toys.

Frequently asked questions
Which end does what?
The wider end gives focused tapping sensations. The tapered end gives vibration. Each has its own motor with 10 speeds and rhythms, so you can use one end or both.
Can both motors run together?
The motors are independent, so each is controlled on its own. That lets you combine tapping and vibration or keep to one. The maker describes the pairing as combination play.
Is Palm an internal toy?
It is shaped to fit in the hand and rest against the body, so it is designed for external use on the clitoris and other sensitive areas.
How is it powered?
The information we have does not say whether Palm is rechargeable or battery powered, and it lists no box contents. Check the packaging on arrival.
How does it differ from the Playboy Pleasure Petal?
Both are silicone external toys. Palm pairs a tapping end with a vibrating end on two motors with 10 settings each. Petal is rose shaped, with a flicking tongue and a vibrating stem, and has 9 functions.
