The 19th century was a dark depressing period in the history of female sexuality. Female sexuality was in fact treated as some form of hysteria, the treatment of which was alarmingly named hysterical paroxysm. This quite simply involved vaginal massage by hand by a member of the medical profession. What a truly tiresome job that must have been but I guess someone had to do it!
The workload was soon reduced by the invention of a steam driven vibration machine that was used by the medical profession to treat the hysteria amongst women that must have been rife at the time. This device however was not easily portable and was later replaced by an electro mechanical device designed and conceived by a British doctor named Joseph Mortimer in 1883.
The electric vibrator was born.
In the following years women started to buy themselves vibrators, purely for medical purposes of course. Advertisements could be found in women’s publications dating back to as early as 1910. These devices were mail order only and typically carried slogans such as “prevent illness, experience the wonders of vibration”.
In the decades that followed vibrators evolved, designs improved. They became smaller, quieter and more powerful and were recognised as devices designed and used for sexual gratification. 1000’s of different vibrators have been produced but few have enjoyed the huge success of Rabbit vibrators. They are now a mainstream device; women of all walks of life use and enjoy them. Openly discussing the fun they have with their rabbit. A phenomenon that was later featured on TV’s hugely successful sex and the city in which one of the characters develops an addiction to her own rabbit vibrator.
What are Rabbit Vibrators?
Rabbit Vibrators are a type of vibrating sex toy. Identifiable by the vibrator unit being shaped like a rabbit complete with two vibrating ears and nose. Historically there was a single variant, a vibrating dildo named the Jack Rabbit. However due to the incredible success of this product there are now a large range of products in different shapes and sizes but all retain the rabbit styled vibrator.
