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-one has explained how they are different once you get over 70.

I know some older people still have sexual needs - but this thread has made me feel slightly sick 🤢

Oregano

The only thing that puts me off getting a vibrator is if one of my children were going through my things after I'd died!

😁

But if you're dead you wouldn't care!!

Thank you Silverbrooks, for your sensible answer.

I don’t know why people are being so juvenile and rude. It’s a perfectly reasonable question if fingers and wrists are becoming arthritic. Something that can be held in the palm or rest lightly on the fingers and placed where you want it rather than gripped might be more comfortable.

Cosmo have published an article on vibrators for older women. It’s based on products available in the US but many of them, or something similar, can be brought in the UK.

Alternatively have chat with someone in Ann Summers.

Is this like a massage chair, ie it helps with back problems?
confused

Bloomin heck!!!
What next gimp gear or Some such!
Only joking, sex is fabulous either solo or with a partner.
This is why I love Gransnet so much, everydays a schoolday. 😊

Course it won’t be a wind-up, people still have sex well past their 70s (if you are lucky).
Hands get tired Whiff, especially if they are arthritic.
Never had one myself, but if you find a good one please let me know, ha.

I thought the whole point of a vibrator was to let the appliance do the work and spare the arthritic wrists.

PS my new one is usb charging

I have one recently purchased (not because husband “inactive”, more because I’m finding it difficult to climax these days) I purchased one from Amazon, it’s very simple and designed to stimulate the right parts, try Amazon or Anne Summers.

Good luck

Have you replaced the batteries?

Whiff Thu 08-May-25 07:00:44

Retired65 think this is a windup but will still reply if you want to masterbate you don't need a vibrator. You have things called hands. Very flexible no batteries needed . Plus the part to give yourself a climax is not in your vagina.

JamesandJon33 Thu 08-May-25 04:53:20

The government says we should all have an emergency kit. Tinned food, dried milk, matches , wind up radio, etc. Perhaps we should add a wind up vibrator to that. Just to pass the time, you understand .

Had a laugh if nothing else whether it is ‘genuine’ or not !

OldFrill Thu 08-May-25 00:41:47

Remote controlled vibrating egg. Amazon probably sell them. Have fun!

Sorry I can’t help * Retired65* I’m actively married.

Something suitable for arthritic hands? It would be an interesting pitch on Dragon's Den.
