These are outside my experience - am I the only one? I have been watching a TV show which I love (Frankie & Grace Netflix) where the main characters develop a vibrator for older women with arthritic hands. It got me thinking am I the odd one out? I have never even tried one for no particular reason just haven't.

I haven't laughed so much in a long time. I'm going to google 'dolphin' and see what comes up!

I always wondered what that thing i found under the bed was. But it is brilliant at bringing the worms in the lawn to the surface when I want to go fishing.

Whatever floats your boat !! Yes, we have one, don't use it all the time, but it can add a certain something!!
I also subscribe to GH and their 'vibrator' testing (and they've done it more than once!) is always enlightening! The only thing that would put me off buying another one is that they are so expensive! Perhaps we should be campaigning for a low 'sex tax' for our aging population !!

A work college once offered her redundant Rampant Rabbit to another college, explaining the she no longer needed it as her new bloke was very good with his hands. Needless to say the offer was declined. Yuk

I have just trolled through Amazon adult section. Goodness me...what an eye opener. I never knew such things existed.

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 05-Jun-17 08:36:51

I never knew that Amazon had an Adult section!

Goes off to see what's there grin

I have a vibrator that looks like a lipstick. i got it from Ann Summers.

I actually bought 3 the same as with the permission of my surgeon I took it to my second cataract operation to hold in my hand to act as a distractor when I had to stare at the bright light.

after the op he said you won't need that now and held out his hand so I gave it to him and said perhaps he would like to tell his students what a wonderful distractor it had been.

I am going alone on holiday for 53 days may take it with me. The spare one is in a box where I keep a humorous after dinner speech I once made on giving sexual advice as an NHS professional.

Noooo! Really? I didn't know Amazon had an Adult section either! Must check it out when I have a moment!

I find Lovehoney have some good bargain vibrators at times and they arrive in a discreet, plain brown package! I bought my first at 60++ but partner of 20+ years was NOT impressed when I asked him to help me open it to install batteries - he rarely stays overnight now! But my purchase is great - it never snores, has a headache/backache or says NO, NOT tonight! Wish I had bought one years ago!!!! wink

I do love discussions on here!!

This thread has opened my eyes too - I had heard about vibrators (Sex and the City) but no more than that. How do you all find the time?
Reminds me of a joke - one Granny to another - "My Dil is expecting twins - they say the chances are One in 100".
Long contemplative pause.
Other Granny's reply comes "But how did they find the time?".

joannewton46 Mon 05-Jun-17 18:47:31

My husband bought me one for when he was away on business and enjoyed watching me use it occasionally when he was at home - part of the "warm up". Our sex life has slowed now we're in our 70s but I still use it occasionally.
I'm told angling the shower head appropriately is also very pleasurable...

annsixty Mon 05-Jun-17 18:59:29

My flabber has been well and truly gasted. I have never heard of anyone using a vibrator or admitting to owning one. I have lived a very sheltered life. Can only say thankyou all for being so open and honest and enlightening me and lots of others.

Christinefrance Mon 05-Jun-17 19:29:12

It's good to add a bit of fun and spice sometimes annsixty, did you never go to Ann Summers party ?

joannapiano Mon 05-Jun-17 19:34:08

I have had one for years. My only fear is that DH and I
die suddenly together, and it is found when our children clear the house out!
(I worry about stupid things a lot!)

annsixty Mon 05-Jun-17 21:22:12

I think Ann Summer parties were after my time. It was Tupperware or pottery parties in my day ?

WilmaKnickersfit Mon 05-Jun-17 21:24:35

joannewton46 I've heard about the shower head too, but it doesn't do it for me. grin

annsixty I would not talk about this with my real life friends. Well, maybe I would if they started the conversation.

When I was younger went to a couple of Anne Summers party through work and they were a bit of fun, but I was too bashful then. About 15 years ago an Anne Summers shop opened in a town near me and when my Mum was down staying with us, we went in to have a look. We were so self conscious like naughty school girls, but the shop was a surprise. The front of the shop had lovely lingerie, with the more risque further in. The 'rude' things were in a separate area and we had a great giggle checking it all out (we'd never, ever discussed any like this before BTW). She bought a pair of handcuffs to prove to my Step-Dad she'd been in the shop! If you like pretty underwear, Anne Summers is supposed to be good quality.

This thread is a joy I'm glad I started it and I'm glad so many people are having fun with their sex life. As I said its outside my experience although we are baby boomers and e thought part of the sexual revolution we are quite conventional but regular participants so that's Ok for us. I think I will stay as we are (but still fantasise about Jeremy Paxman).

Just a reminder to those divulging secrets, you could end up in a newspaper article as at least one at HQ is a journalist.

morethan2 Tue 06-Jun-17 09:44:27

Would said journalists divulge our real identities? I have often wondered if it's a coincidence that a thread I've read on G.N suddenly appears as an article in a newspaper or magazine

harrigran Tue 06-Jun-17 10:15:19

No, I am positive they would not reveal your name but can you imagine the article in the newspaper ? They may cherry pick odd quotes which could be recognised, especially the story about the plumber and the vibrator in the kitchen.

Jalima1108 Tue 06-Jun-17 10:37:52

It wasn't particularly good, it was a solid plastic gold one with no shape to it

I misread that as a 'solid gold one' thinking that could a) be a bit cold b) could be worth an absolute fortune!!
What kind of lifestyle do you have Peaseblossom?
Then I read it again grin

Lynnieg Tue 06-Jun-17 12:45:45

You can also get vibrators that connect wirelessly to your Apple iTunes account and vibrates to the music. You'd have to have a selective play list I imagine grin

Christinefrance Tue 06-Jun-17 12:46:08

Yes I misread it at first Jalima, thought OMG that must be heavy grin

HildaW Tue 06-Jun-17 13:33:34

Lynnieg.....so all those young ladies in the bus queue ...........??????
