This can’t possibly be real, can it?
Always has been. No joke, vibrators were advertised as massage devices since the 50s. Mail order war the way to go long before the first sex shops opened.
And they really are massage devices. I use a vibrator when I have muscle cramps in the back, and sometimes I use it to "shake free" the sinuses when they are blocked during a cold (roll a soft cloth around the vibrator and hold it to your forehead, the snot will start avalanching within seconds, free airways for the win).
Very useful devices I'd say.
That's amazing. Sounds like my one experience with Sinex nasal spray. It was like turning on a faucet.
'I jackhammer my nostrils with a vibrator' is not a sentiment I'd expect to find wholesome.

Double entendre FTW! 😁
That's genius and you need to use every excuse to spread it around.
Nasty. Thanks! 😊
It’s real. House & Garden Magazine, December 1971, page 127.
Also see the ad for “Lady Alsons Personal Shower” on page 28, and the Insta-Jet Propane Flame Gun, only $9.99, on page 113!

I know right? You could buy flamethrowers and they outlawed lawn darts.
For more fun read the note on the Crane Stationery! It's like reading into the future!
