Should a phallus like vibrator be tagged as dildo. I mean, the wiki says:"...dildos fitted with vibration units..." But I kinda feel uncomfortable using the dildo tag additionally to vibrators. Because, for me, it's something different.

If it vibrates, no matter the shape, to me it's a vibrator.

what else are you using vibrators for???

Despite what the wiki says the vibrator tag is more of an umbrella tag for all kinds of vibrators, the description is more fitting for dildo_vibrator.

I personally believe both tags should be used because a dildo_vibrator serves both purposes, the implications on the dildo_vibrator tag also seem to back that up (despite it being a very underused tag)

If not using both tags, would the below image be tagged as vibrator or dildo?

Yeah, if a sex_toy has the combined traits of a dildo and a vibrator, then dildo_vibrator should be used (dildo_vibrator also currently implies both dildo and vibrator). I can update the wikis to improve the clarity of the descriptions.

I think it would be worth noting that there is also the improvised_sex_toy tags, used when a non-sex_toy object is being used as sex_toy (improvised_dildo, improvised_vibrator, improvised_buttplug, food_insertion, food_penetration, etc). I also made a BUR for some missing improvised_sex_toy aliases/implications on topic #29437.

It seems like tags here are inclusive, not exclusive. It can be both a vibrator and a dildo. And like mentioned above, if it's not a combined unit, then ONLY vibrator and dildo tags apply, but not dildo_vibrator or the like.

I forgot that I created this thread. Therefore, I didn't answer. Thanks for the answers
