The one I had doesn't appear to be working. Can anyone suggest a virbrator that works and doesn't tire the hands? It would be for my own use as my husband hasn't been interested in sex for many years. I am 74.

No I don''t think so, I'm 80 and I still havefun with one.

You can get rechargable ones of Ebay now.

Good on you OP to mention the unmentionables! I’m gutted because they say the clit shrinks with age and as I’m 73 and on my own I don’t know whether to try again…..

It’s absolutely normal to have sexual needs, vibrators are great for satisfying such needs. It’s healthy!

Thought two marriages and few relationships I’ve used vibrators & other toys.
Kept me as sane x

Have a look at Love Honey. Discreet postal service. Enjoy

A discreet service is essential, isn’t it?

I think you are all mean, how do you think this lady feels now, she was asking for advice and you have made fun of her

Sit on the washing machine when it is in spin mode.

Didn’t any of you watch Grace and Frankie when they designed one for older women?!!! Brilliant TV. Then they had to pitch it for sponsorship - so funny

Why do people mind if their children know that they are sexual beings? - they would not be here if they weren't......

I am with you Luckygirl3! I have visited Ann Summers and discussed vibrators with my daughters in the past. Why on earth would anyone think they would be embarrassed if they found one (or several)? Sex is wonderful and I miss it hugely now I am on my own and yes, my hand gets tired too so I have found this (where sensible answers are given) hugely helpful. Thanks you @retired65 for posing the question.

It's not a wind up ....arthritic hands can't hold regular ones. I'm sure if you Google it there will be a plethora.

Love Honey online or Smile online

Look on Amazon for a womanizer. Rechargeable.

There has been quite a bit of sympathy, fellow feeling and useful advice and by no means all the posts have been jokey. Even the jokey posts were not making fun of her so much as joking about vibrators.

Retired65, treat yourself to a DOXY from Lovehoney. It's not cheap, but it's worth it.

Wolfie59 Sat 10-May-25 19:34:30

Yes but not everyone has someone to have sex with. Read the original post.

I worked for Ann Summers for over 10 yrs, started off as a party organiser , then climbed the ranks to area manager. So there is not much I do not know about sex toys. Nowadays they are rechargeable, which is amazing. Batteries always run out at the most inappropriate moment, and wired ones which plug in are cumbersome and limit positions and distance from plug socket. I also have arthritis in my hands, and fibromyalgia, so my hand strength is limited. I recommend the magic wand style as they have many settings and can make wave pulses, and adjust strength of vibration according to how you like it. I will send a link to the one I have, which is also waterproof, so brilliant for keeping it clean, comes with a zip pouch storage case like a giant pencil case so it can be discreetly hidden in a drawer. It lasts ages on one charge, and Love Honey are a fantastic company, mega fast delivery and loads of special offers and discount codes. I highly recommend them. If you need any info please contact me, here is my fave one : - www.lovehoney.co.uk/sex-toys/vibrators/magic-wand-vibrators/p/lovehoney-desire-luxury-rechargeable-wand-vibrator/a47069g84469.html

Thanks a lot cookiemonster66.

Ladyfungi59a Sat 10-May-25 20:22:38

hands up all those who clicked on cookiemonster's link. I bet there are a few who did (including me). I often used a vibrator as my husband couldn't always satisfy me but using one could.
