What is a Rabbit Vibrator?
AĀ tarzan-Ā orĀ rabbit vibratorĀ is a rod vibratorĀ with both a stimulation part for theĀ clitorisĀ if theĀ vagina.
History
After the wand vibrator was invented in 1880, it took a long time for a different vibrator to appear on the market. Initially, the vibrator was marketed as a medical device, and its advertising didn't mention sex at all.Ā It took a long time for other types of vibrators to appear on the market. While separate clitoral vibrators were available alongside wand vibrators, the combination of both stimulations in a single device was a long time coming.The rabbit vibrator was originally invented by the Japanese company Vibratex. Due to obscenity laws, Vibratex chose to release it in animal shapes and bright colors. The first three variations were the beaver, the kangaroo, and the turtle. It was the rabbit that ultimately proved the most commercially successful. In 1983, Vibratex introduced the rabbit vibrator to the American market.Ā In the Netherlands, this vibrator is often called the "Tarzan." The names Tarzan and Rabbit are often used interchangeably. The Tarzan is actually a vibrator that originally offered triple stimulation (clitoral, vaginal, and anal). Nowadays, there's no good vibrator with such triple stimulation, and the term Tarzan is also used for a rabbit vibrator. This type is also called a duo vibrator.
Slowly but surely, the vibrator has been removed from the taboo realm. This was partly due to the series Sex and the City, which dedicated a controversial episode to the rabbit/Tarzan in 1998.Ā Women's magazines also increasingly covered sex toys. Vibrators are no longer sold as medical devices, and their use for sexual pleasure is much more accepted. The device is now even available on drugstore shelves.
Technology
The rabbit/tarzan vibrator is battery-powered and features vibrating elements. A unique feature of the rabbit/tarzan is the "rabbit" section, an additional head attached to the wand. This head stimulates the clitoris, while the wand stimulates the vagina and G-spot. The rabbit/tarzan's head makes rotating movements and provides additional vaginal stimulation with small balls. The vibrator can be adjusted to various rhythms and speeds. Some tarzan/rabbit vibrators use air pressure pulsations that gently draw in and release the clitoris.Usage
The rabbit vibrator is used for sexual pleasure and can be used by both men and women. Men can use the sex toy, for example, to stimulate the prostate and perineum. The rabbit vibrator can be used as a toy during intercourse between people, but is often used as a supplement to, or replacement for, manual masturbation. Often,Ā lubricantĀ used in combination with the vibrator.
Operation
The rabbit vibrator has a small control panel or buttons. These allow you to set different rhythms and speeds. In some cases, both parts of the vibrator can also be turned on or off independently.
Material
Rabbit vibrators are usually made of plastics on the outside such asĀ ABS,Ā siliconeĀ andĀ PVC . Vibrators made of soft PVC sometimes contain plasticizers, which are less healthy but not very harmful if the vibrator is used less than two hours per week. Vibrators in the higher price range almost always have a silicone outer layer.
