The electric toothbrush seems to have the problems of a power supply and charging system well solved and one end of it is conveniently shaped and could be discreetly concealed in terms of a second use. I doubt the companies who make these two products would join forces but the consumer demand for both
appears to remain strong.

"Hummingbird reaches areas your toothbrush can’t" [jutta, Oct 27 2004]

Which end do you hold when you're brushing? This is disgusting. [-] May as well be an idea for reusable toilet paper. |
|
| |
I wholeheartedly agree with [contracts]. Cheers, [contracts]. |
|
| |
given some of the adverts for these products, I think colgate et. al are already on to this so to speak. Check out the new 'hummingbird' 'flosser' from Oral B (and I quote "With a simple push of the button, Hummingbird gently vibrates so it feels amazing and gives you unmistakable benefits from day one. No matter which attachment you use"). |

"There is fucking shit on my toothbrush!!! Why is there shit on my toothbrush!?!?" |

Most of the early vibrators were just modified electric toothbrushes. You're about 40 years too late, [dhousman]. |
|
| |
Can you please try Google before posting this sort of thing? |
|
| |
Those weren't early vibrators. Early
vibrators predate
electricity,
let alone the electrical toothbrush of the
1960ies. |

(They were steam-driven and
applied by physicians to cure hysteria -
or whatever other symptoms one chose
to develop in order to have a reason to
get cured.) |
|
| |
Wasn't that called a "steely dan"? Or is that just urban legend? Is low density feces an admissable symptom? |
|
| |
[jutta] If you saw a physician coming toward you with a steam driven vibrator and a determined glint in his eye, would this not induce hysteria rather than curing it? Oh - and what [bristolz] said. |
|
| |
Actually, [jutta] is right. I didn't want to go there, but doctors used them to induce orgasm in female patients who were deemed hysterical (their wombs were "moving inside them"), from the Greek hystera (womb). It was thought to be caused by a uterine disorder. 'Hysteria' was first used to describe the condition* in the early 1700s. |
|
| |
*More than likely an attempt by a patriarchal society to control the actions of women who refused to be browbeaten into observing men's bullying and direction. |
|
| |
The medical "profession" hit upon the idea of masturbating women to orgasm to calm them down, using machines to deflect criticism of potentially prurient behaviour. |
|
| |
By the way, "Steely Dan" *was* the name of a vibrator. |
|
| |
It appeared in William Burroughs's novel about homosexuality and 1950s drug culture, "Naked Lunch", unless there's an even earlier reference to the name? |
|
| |
For the record, the novel was ordinary, notable more for its titillating subject matter in the early 1960s than for Burroughs's much-touted genius. I've read any number of imitators since, too. Most of the Beat Movement should be relabelled the Beatup Movement, in my view. |

Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing inherently unhygenic about one's genitals. It may be baked, but I don't see it as disgusting. |
|
| |
The phrase "Whatever turns you on" seems unususally appropriate here. |
|
| |
The least hygenic part of the human body is the mouth, strangely enough. The rest of it is pretty much OK but the mouth is basically a cesspit of bacteria and rotting food. |
|

//Contrary to popular belief, there is nothing inherently unhygenic about one's genitals. It may be baked, but I don't see it as disgusting.// Well, remind me never to kiss you on the lips. Although I wash, that doesn't mean I want to brush my teeth with it. |

"... and that's the corner where all the prudes sit, Mommy. Would you like to see my finger paintings?" |
|
| |
Enough rectal vibrator insertion commentary from me. I'm going over to the hygenic side! More fun, anyway. |
