Rabbit vibrator
Encyclopedia
Rabbit vibrator is a vibrating and rotating sex toy
made in the shape of a phallus
with a clitoral stimulator attached to the shaft. The name of the device is derived from the fact that the clitoral stimulator looks like a pair of rabbit
ears. In the history of sex toys, Rabbit Vibrators appeared relatively recently, since the 1990s, in response to the growing female demand for more pleasurable sex toys and gained additional notoriety in the United States
after it was the star guest in an episode of HBO's TV series Sex and the City
("The Turtle and the Hare") featuring Vibratex
's Rabbit Pearl. Rabbit Vibrators are designed to give more intense sensations than the more traditional dildo
or clitoral stimulator, since they are designed for simultaneous vaginal and clitoral stimulation. The device can be used for solo pleasure or as part of partner sex. The "Original Jack Rabbit" was designed and manufactured by California Exotic Novelties. California Exotic Novelties is attributed with the creation of the Jack Rabbit vibrator.

Silicone retains heat and has no odour. Jelly material is porous and cannot be sterilized in boiling water and has a scent of rubber that some find unappealing. In order to escape this smell some producers aromatise the products with more pleasurable scents. Rabbit Vibrators made from vinyl

Use and pleasure
Rabbit Vibrators have been designed for simultaneous internal (vaginal) and external (clitoral) stimulation. The rabbit-shaped stimulator is held near the clitoris, while the body is taken into the vagina, offering deep, "all around" stimulation. These dual-action vaginal and clitoral Rabbit stimulators are among today's best online-selling sex toys. They normally offer a choice between two shaft rotation speeds and two patterns of clitoral stimulation, or allow the user to enjoy both functions at the same time.While using a Rabbit Vibrator, users may benefit from using additional lubrication
