Vibrators for Health Purpose

The Vitalator is similar to other barber vibrators, such as the Gilbert no. 8 (1933) and the Oster Stim-U-Lax (1940s). All feature a heavy motorized body with hand straps on the bottom, and were originally intended for scalp massages. In  Passion and Power, sex educator Betty Dodson credits barber vibrators with her sexual awakening, so clearly not everyone was using them from the eyebrows up.

At 2.4 pounds, it’s a lot heavier than most contemporary sex toys — theHitachi Magic Wand, for instance, weighs about 1.4 pounds and is significantly bigger, while the We Vibe weighs eight ounces. It’s also made of a cold, unfriendly metal, and has ventilation at both ends. (I can only assume the musty smell that goes along with more than about a minute of use is due to the age of my model.)
