Personally this doesn't feel like true theyknew material, because this is one of those "this is how they had to advertise because nobody would allow them to say the real purpose of the items" rather than "suggestive thing presented as normal with a lot of rib-to-elbow action and stifled giggles behind the scenes, often hidden from management"
It's one of those "it fits the literal definition but not the spirit" situations. Idk Maybe it's just me.
It'll never not be funny though
In India they’re still advertised exactly like this
Lmao, Amazon India (≧∀≦)
You're right, Chief.
And that sort of thing had been commonplace since the Victorian times.

Two C batteries? That thing is a beast.
Nah, things were much less energy efficient back then.
I think they meant girthy
Not really. Things don't magically get better just because time has passed. Efficiency reaches a plateau, and the laws of thermodynamics prevent any further improvements.
Since it's a battery operated device, they're almost certainly using brushed motors. Those are less efficient than brushless, but brushed DC motors are cheap and easy to run from a DC source. The complex electronics to run brushless motors only got cheap in the last decade or so, and there's still plenty of sex toy vibrators that use brushed because it's easy and doesn't take much space in the device.
The difference isn't even that big. About 75-80% efficient for brushed, and 85-90% efficient for brushless. The extra complication of electronics isn't always worthwhile even today. The basic mechanics of this stuff was invented over a century ago and was all but perfected decades before OP's advertisement ever existed. It can't be better than 100% efficiency, and it's already pretty close to that. Unless someone comes up with a really clever design that gets brushless efficiency with little to no additional electronics, there's not much improvement to be seen.
Batteries, OTOH, have improved by leaps since then.
In case madame needs to pour some concrete in a pinch and has to remove any air bubbles
The women's faces, just 👨🍳😚👌
I feel bad for the people who bought them and never thought to use them anywhere other than their face.
Contoured to use comfortably around eyes, brows, chin and other parts of the body.
Gentle penetrating massage.
I dunno if I'd chance it - I heard you can poke your eye out with one of those things...
Nah, it penetrates gently. It's in the advert.
All I see is that it costs 4,99
I think that hairstyle was popular in the mid-1960s - if I'm right, that's roughly $50 in today's money.
Edit: source is https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ using the year 1965, and the official US government inflation calculator seems to concur.
Im guessing the year is 1970. That $5 is equivalent to $31 now.
Bought right for a cheap, but otherwise quality vibrator.
There are Aliexpress vibrators roughly that price right now. They probably break right away, and the plastic is questionable to insert into the human body, but they exist.
Plastic from that era probably has the same descriptors.
It would sure be traumatizing, if I just remembered finding this facial massager with a bunch of oddly interesting magazines next to my parents bed, when I was a young boy...
Sure would be. It was traumatizing enough asking my mother what a minstrel is, and getting a detailed explanation of menstruation instead. Too soon, mom!
LOL
wife-hack of the 50s
Sorry, I'm so American that the only thing I can see is a bullet.
Do we still have products that use completely different advertising on purpose like this ?
I think the Hitachi Magic Wand advertises (or rather used to advertise the last time I looked at it) itself as a muscle massager and doesn't mention anything sexual.
But it's probably the most popular wand vibrator people use
Because it was created and sold as a massager not a sex toy and it wasn’t intended to be used in anything sex related, but people used it for sex stuff and it is what popularised the product.
Hitachi rebranded it dropping the company name from the product.
I’m pretty sure I bought a baby blue one for my gf 18 years ago.
Possible explanation for my husband's "don't chip your teeth" jokes?
Imagine being out to brunch and your good Christian Judy whips out a vibrator and nonchalantly goes to town on her face
