If She Can, I Can

Over at Ali Purls, she's knitting up a cover for her vibrator. So I thought I'd riff on the same topic. Not the knitting part.

If you're thinking of investing and haven't so far, Come As You Are has a handy dandy guide to choosing the right one for you. They do come in many shapes, sizes, materials and colours.

About has a vibrator quizz. What's your score? Mine was in the zillions.

Also from About, some stats on the use of vibrators and toys:

According to Xandria Collection’s Toys in the Sheets survey, the most common vibrator user was a white Christian married woman, in her thirties, who votes Republican.

It seems that vibrator users are mostly white. That's either a shocking statisticor other cultures and ethnic groups are keeping some big big secrets from us.

Check out the online vibrator museum to see some interesting relics. I'm personally fascinated by the hand crank varieties which seem to have a lot in common with my old eggbeater. Just one more reason to appreciate electricity.

Also take a look at Slate's "A history of the vibrator" complete with slide show.

And speaking of old fashioned vibrators, did you catch the episode of Mad Men when Peggy tried out the vibrator belt?

No need for that now a days, not when there's "the toy":

The Toy is a hi-tech vibrating bullet. Connected to a mobile phone with Bluetooth it becomes an intimate, silent connection between two lovers, regardless of distance. Custom designed for your pleasure, it is intelligent, sophisticated and invented for bliss.

And if you're a masturbating environmentalist who's worn out her rabbit send it back to the company and enjoy a brand new one for half price. Or get yourself get a brand new solar powered vibrator (you can get a 4-in-1 hot dog maker from the same site, should you get hungry).

If you're planning a trip, You might want to check out the San Francisco Chronicle's guide to traveling with your vibrator. Don't put your rabbit in your carry on and take out the batteries of anything stashed in your checked bags. (And remember, the 3 ounce rule for liquids goes for lube, too.)

Okay, go enjoy yourself and remember, just because there's a toy involved doesn't mean you have to solo.
