For all the mystique surrounding the female orgasm, vibrators are a surefire way for lots (and lots) of ladies to get off. I recently took a tour of Crave, a sex toy company that prototypes and fabricates its products in San Francisco; here’s a peek inside your new favorite mini pleasure machine.

Swedish company Foreo’s got a silicone toothbrush called Issa. It vibrates like your Sonicare, and comes in woozy pastel colors. Let’s not kid ourselves: this is a sex toy disguised as a dental revolution.

Vibrators are typically strong, powerful, dumb pipes. Which is mostly fine! But sometimes you’d like something more… nuanced. Vibease, which is supposedly the world’s first wearable "smart" vibrator, claims to have the sort of sexy thoughtfulness that can get any woman off. It’s basically a read along vibrator for erotica.

Holier-than-thou bicycle enthusiasts have been touting the benefits of their cleaner, healthier method of transportation for ages. But thanks to the UK’s leading website for lascivious adult pleasures, the act of bicycle riding is about to get a whole lot less—well, holy. That’s right, SexShop365 is proud to present the newest innovation in vibrating bicycle seats: the Happy Ride.

Do you suffer from “sore elbows, wrists and hands from having to hold small and awkward shapes?” Have you found that “products are confusing to impossible to control?” Do you know what a phthalates is and are you embarrassed by the packaging of your favorite personal massager products? Has Revel Body got a product for you.
This crowdfunded project aims to make your alone time (or time spent with friends) more rewarding. The product, essentially a sonic vibrator, is designed for ladies and, presumably, men. The team, led by Robin Elenga, has created a high-frequency system for offering a better “buzz” during those moments when you’re visiting the Palms Hotel.
The product offers “50 percent more power” and “400 percent vibration range” and reduces the vibrations felt in the hand and focuses those vibrations on sore muscles and/or your vagina.
The product uses a resonating motor to offer a larger range of vibration speeds and sensations and it’s shaped like a tennis ball to reduce the strain on wrists and other body parts. It’s run on a rechargeable battery that connects to any USB port and offers nearly silent operation, unlike similar linear-motor-powered vibrators. Because it doesn’t exactly look like a traditional vibrator you could even put it in a place of honor on your bedside table or office desk.
The vibrator comes (to your house) for a pledge of $140. You can get two for $220. They are hoping to raise $50,000 and are nearly there so they just need that extra push to get them over the edge. I suppose, given the circumstances, we should probably help them out.
This makes sense in a way that makes absolutely no sense. David Ley, a University of Alberta drama professor and vocal coach, figured out that one especially effective and not at all lecherous way to sooth a lost voice is… a vibrator. More »
Valentine’s Day may just be a consumerist Hallmark holiday—but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun this evening. So instead of jewelry or flowers, why not get your loved one something a little more… animated? NSFW, because obviously. More »
This is Crave’s Duet, a dual-headed vibrator that charges via USB and can store up to 16GB of digital stuff. Half of it is the rechargeable battery with the Flash memory—convenient to store all your porn—and the other half is the dual-headed vibe. More »
For your postprandial pleasure I present the an open-source vibrator that you (or your partner) can play like a theremin. The story of how it came to be is pretty amazing and involves FCC chip lookups, bit-tracing, and lots of assembly code. In short, it’s an amazing effort in DIY hardware hacking that serves the dual purpose of education and giving pleasure.
Built by Beth Scott and based on an off-the-shelf vibrator model called the Lyla, the device uses an Arduino board and sonic transducers to create an interactive, invisible cone of sound that you can move your hand through in order to control the vibrator. Writes Scott:
Scott has included the plans she used to build the device as well as the 3D models for the case and battery holder. She used the aptly-named Anker battery case and programmed the firmware to interact with various body parts.
“There could be a lot more to electronic sex toys than just a battery and a motor. I want the future to be full of toys that know how to play,” wrote Scott. Amen.
They look like golden bullets, sure, but I don’t care what kind of sexual deviant you are; you probably shouldn’t be on the recieving end of a gun that fires vibraters. Nonetheless, Joerg Sprave has built one—caving to watcher’s demands—and dubbed it the “Launcher of Love,” which is suggestive in its own right. More »
