Handheld massagers

Handheld massagers are the most commonly found massagers in the market nowadays. They are largely welcomed for their flexibility and easiness in use.

Design
Handheld massagers come in all kinds of shapes. The most common design is a handlebar with vibration ball built at the end of it. This allows the single user to massage body parts like the lower back that are hard to reach. Mini handheld massagers are another popular choice; because of their small size, they can be easily fit into a back pack or travel luggage. Instead of having a switch, some mini-massagers only vibrate when they are squished. The design of ergonomic shape for hand held massagers also increases the comfort when using.

Relation to sex toy
In comparison to sex toy, hand held massagers do not associate themselves with any sex purposes, and usually do not carry any sexual message, although they can be used for the exact same purpose depend on the user. This creates an interesting comparison with products like the Hitachi Magic Wand that are almost explicitly marketed as sex toys. Part of the consequence is that it is much more likely for an average household to own a handheld massager, than having a sex toy vibrator.
