Short answer
There's no widely accepted evidence that vibrators cause lasting loss of sensation. You might feel a little numb right after an intense session, but this typically fades quickly. Varying intensity and taking breaks can help. If you notice an ongoing drop in sensation, it's more likely related to hormonal or health changes than to your toy, so it's worth raising with a clinician.
