^SheLovesHer Massagers

Massagers are an older form of vibrator, derived from the Victorian Era belief in “female genital hysteria”.

“Made by mainstream appliance manufacturers, these toys masquerade as “massagers”. Their powerful and consistent vibrations have helped many women to orgasm for the first time, and are a welcome addition to any toy chest. The key here is quality — Hitachi and Wahl are experts at making long-lasting small appliances.” —Erin Doherty from Toys in Babeland

“We believe if you have a positive experience with a sex toy, you’ll keep coming back for more. If you don’t, you may never try another again. I’ve been selling sex toys for a long time and can assure you that a lot of what’s out there is cheaply made (falls apart easily, breaks down, smells bad, or in some cases is just dangerous). Sometimes it’s worth it to pay a little more for a toy, or try and find out what toys sell the best, or have been reviewed by other customers.” —Anne Semans from Libida.com, author of “The Mother’s Guide to Sex”, “The New Good Vibrations Guide to Sex”, and “The Woman’s Guide to Sex on the Web”

history

“[Vibrators] also have an illustrious history as medical aids. Vibrators were specialized equipment for about a century. Now it’s easy to buy a vibrator and take it for a spin. Even if you’re not feeling blue, those resultant “muscle spasms” will, at the very least, relieve tension and put a smile on your face!” —Erin Doherty from Toys in Babeland

Vibrators were originally created as medical devices. In the Victorian Era (late 1800s), the religion and culture taught that women had no sexual desire, response or needs and that women lacked the ability to have an orgasm. Sexual activity involved a man directly preceeding to vaginal intercourse without any foreplay whatsoever (no wonder they thought women had no sexual response!). Women (and men) were forbidden to masturbate by church law and social custom. Doctors claimed that women suffered from an ailmetn they called “female genital hysteria”. Women would go to a doctor for treatment, which would involve the doctor manipulating the woman’s genitals with his hands and fingers. The “hysteria” would grow in intensity and then subside. Needless to say, this treatment became popular with British women and doctor’s offices were overwhelmed with women seeking treatment for female genital hysteria (many seeking treatment daily), interfering with their caseload of other patients. Because the male doctors of the time viewed women as second class citizens and women’s ailments as a beneath their dignity, they sought a mechanical answer. At the time electricity was still new and an inventive British doctor came up with the first vibrator, a medical device intended to free up doctors by allowing women to treat their own female genital hysteria at home. Vibrators quickly became a widely used medical device and were one of the best sellers in the early Sears mail order catalogues.
