What should I look for in a clitoral vibrator? Three things matter most: the material, the range of settings and the noise. Silicone is nonporous, so it cleans easily and does not hold odor. A choice of patterns lets you find a rhythm that works, since steady vibration does not suit everyone. A quiet motor matters if you share walls or a home. Chi covers all three. It is made of soft silicone, offers 10 vibrating patterns and has a motor the maker describes as quiet but powerful.
Ritual Chi: a quiet silicone vibrator for the clitoris
Chi is a compact vibrator from Doc Johnson's Ritual line, designed for clitoral stimulation. The body is soft silicone that is nonporous, odorless and phthalate free. Inside is a motor the maker calls quiet yet powerful, with 10 vibrating patterns to move through. It charges by USB, so there are no batteries to replace.
Its size makes it easy to hold against the body alone or to bring into sex with a partner. The distributor groups it with vibrators under five inches. The box contains the vibrator and a USB charger.
Best for: For anyone who wants external, clitoral vibration in a small and quiet toy. It suits first-time buyers, people in shared homes, and couples who want a vibrator that fits between two bodies. It is used on the outside of the body.

How to use
Charge Chi fully with the included USB charger before first use. Wash it and dry it. Put a few drops of water-based lubricant on the tip or on your body. Switch it on and rest it against the outer labia or beside the clitoris, not directly on it at first. Move through the patterns until one feels right, then adjust the pressure and position. Direct contact can feel intense, so approach it gradually. With a partner, hold it between your bodies. Switch it off and clean it when you finish.
Care
- Use water-based lubricant only; silicone lubricant can damage a silicone toy.
- Wash with warm water and mild soap or a toy cleaner, keeping the charging point dry.
- Never boil it or put it in a dishwasher.
- Recharge it with the supplied USB charger and do not use it while charging.
- Dry it fully and store it apart from other toys.

Frequently asked questions
Is Chi waterproof?
The facts we have do not give a waterproof rating. The maker's description mentions the shower, but without a stated rating we advise treating it as not waterproof. Clean it by hand and keep the charging point dry.
How many settings does it have?
Chi has 10 vibrating patterns. The facts do not break these down into speeds and pulses, so we cannot list them one by one. You cycle through them to find the one you prefer.
How loud is it?
The maker lists a quiet motor and describes the vibrations as quiet yet powerful. No decibel figure is given. Like any small vibrator, it will be easier to hear on a hard surface than against the body.
What lubricant can I use with it?
Use a water-based lubricant. Chi is made of silicone, and silicone-based lubricants can react with the surface of silicone toys over time. Water-based formulas rinse off easily and are safe for the material.
How big is it?
No exact measurements are stated. The distributor lists it in its category for vibrators under five inches, so it is a compact, palm-sized toy. It is intended for external use on the clitoris.
