Vibrators

Got a tip. Take the batteries out if in holiday luggage!

Marvellous things - they never have to be 'in the mood', only need batteries ? And they help you sleep. What's not to love

WilmaKnickersFit The mind boggles about the electric toothbrush. haven't got a clue how you'd use one of those. I'm sure the bristles must chafe something chronic!

On the 'outside' only and gently!

(Can't believe I'm typing this!

Someone mentioned further up the thread that Good Housekeeping magazine have some reviews in this month's edition. Well I am on the testing panel for GH and a couple of years ago tested vibrators for them. I get sent quite a few things to test. In this instance I think they must have been short of testers as they sent me three different ones to try. (It's a hard job, but someone's got to do it I suppose!)
I've used vibrators since I was in my 30s, sometimes with DH and sometimes on my own, it's the only way I can orgasm (so they made a massive difference to our sex life!
There are lots (and lots) of names for male masturbation, but what about female? I'm trying to popularise "buzz"

Love this thread...made me laugh out loud!!!?

I highly recommend them! I have enjoyed one as a nice side since I was a young woman. I know find in my relatively new marriage (18 months), since neither of us are 'are as young as we were' it can sometimes be useful used on both of us to liven things-up!

Re the elctric toothbrush - I used to use one in the days when you could only buy battery driven vibrators - the batteries used to run out at the wrong moment! I could leave the toothbrush plugged in by the bed. The trick was to use the back of the brush.

I hasten to add the toothbrush was no longer in use as a toothbrush at the time!

Re names for female masturbation, in a recent " comedy" on BBC , Miriam Margolyes (sp) asked her D "if she was searching for the squirrel".

Now I understand why the young assistants smirked at each other when I was enquiring about electric toothbrushes at Boots!

Looking forward to my little dolphin arriving

ExaltedWombat most woman can multitask,a bit of each for variety is great fun.

Thank you all so much for responding to this thread and keeping it light and fun which for me is the great thing about Gransnet.

Never thought about it, and I don't think I'll bother at my age! Lol. I do remember being in the staff canteen when I worked at the hospital, and a lady behind the serving counter suddenly announced, in a very loud voice, ' Has anyone in here lost a vibrator?' There was a stunned silence, then everyone burst out laughing, and one of the cleaners felt in her pocket, and then shouted 'Oh God, yes, its mine.' She collected it, then walked out with her face the colour of beetroot.certainly made the day for everyone in the canteen.

Thanks for that handy hint WilmaK. You've cheered up my Sunday morning.

How funny are some of these stories!! Had a lot over the last 40 odd years too. The first one went off in the wooden bedside cabinet in the middle of the night once making such a racket and terrifying the pair of us till we realised what it was! So far I've not left it out for the plumber to find but I do have a pact with my sister in law that if anything happens to me she has to empty my bedside drawers before anyone else gets in there

What a brilliant thread! Thank you everyone

Willow I thought about a pact like that and decided against it because I am pretty sure my Mum would get there first. Seriously though, now I'm older I think she would be discrete and keep her thoughts to herself.

You're welcome FarNorth,I learn something new myself most days!

BTW I do change the head regularly!

GrandmaKT, I do hope your suggestion doesn't catch on! My dog's name is Buzz

I bought my latest, and my best, when on holiday in America from Brookstone. It is actually a neck massager. They are more powerful when turned up (they have about 5 levels). I learned that these are used as vibrators by the discerning from an episode of Sex and the City. Samantha was advising serveral women in the shop on the best one for their needs! They are available in the UK too. Amazon or lovehoney.com where there are reviews for the purpose we are referring to here. I prefer a rechargeable model!

I take it holiday for a bit of fun together with my beloved hubby. I was flying via Dubai last time and staying there for a couple of days. It was in my handluggage as, being wireless, I didn't want it switching on and buzzing in my suitcase ? I was stopped for a check and the border guard, a woman in a full black burqa asked me what it was. With a completely straight face, I replied "it's a neck massager". Her English was clearly basic and she didn't understand. I mimed using a wand type thing on my neck. She still didn't get it, so called over her male supervisor. We went through the same scenario. He looked at me, at the 'vibrator', then back at me, took a moment, then nodded to his colleague and we went through. I have no idea if hubby was struggling with his face during this interaction, but I expect so! It interesting that the London shop Lovehoney said, in a TV show that they often have devout Muslim women in full burqas shopping in the shop. And why not of course, but I did suspect that at least the man at
Dubai airport had a good idea what my 'massager' was for!

I do hope your suggestion doesn't catch on! My dog's name is Buzz

Ha ha! Could be awkward!

I for one will never be able to watch the Oral B adverts with a straight face again - "I asked my dentist which is better, manual or electric. She said 'Definitely electric, get the one with the round head'"
DH is wondering why I'm choking on my sherry!

Yes, manual toothbrushes are okay but you have to be quite dexterous

Talking of electric toothbrushes, we've also got a tooth jetter - squirts water around your............no, that's too naughty, better delete.......too late...

Thank you for such a funny thread. I have certainly been laughing a lot this weekend.
I believe there is a vibrator head made to fit one of the brands of electric toothbrushes. So you don't need to worry about bristles. ;)
I bought a vibrator from LaRedoute about 3 years ago but it is still in it's box as I can't fathom how to open it to put the batteries in.
