Oh god. This is beautiful! Thanks OP!
This can’t possibly be real, can it?
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!
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.
And just think, if that model was 25 in 1971 she would be 78 now.
What, she couldn’t hold the corner of the washing machine to her jaw?
They knew, they just hid it in plain site so they can’t be sued.
