Mourning my dead vibrator

[Shakeylegs]

My vibrator is dead. It has ceased to be. It is an ex-vibrator.

And I realised that I’ve owned it for over 20 years and that it is actually pretty much my oldest possession! Chucking it has actually made me quite sad!

It was only a basic one so I’m amazed it’s lasted all this time. But it made me think about everything that’s changed since I got it. I was only 20, still at uni. I got it at a giggly Ann Summers party. Do they even exist these days?

Since then I’ve lived in five houses, had singlehood and long term relationships, had kids, got old(!) and it’s been in my drawer the whole time. Like an old friend! And one that’s made me come about 2000 times.

Thank God for the internet now so I can get a replacement. But rest easy old friend.

I'm just going to leave this here.

Old vibrators never die. They just buzz off.

Gone but not forgotten.
He's done his job probably better than most men! 🫢
Time to move on to new beginnings or maybe that should be endings.

I know how you feel. I had my old faithful rabbit 9 years and nothing compared. It was the Neon One from Ann Summers and they don't make it anymore. I got a replacement on Ebay ( boxed and unused obviously) but it was old stock and never worked properly. I had to convert to wands because there are no rabbits as good as that out there now.

Forget the mourning. Look to the future. The moral behind the story is always keep a spare.

Actually, 2 together can be quite fun too 😉

RIP lovely vibrator 😭

I can highly recommend the Satifyer Pro 2 from Amazon. It's a clit sucker not a rabbit. But you could buy 2 toys to help you overcome your grief 😁

Oh, they dont make them like they used to OP! My Romp died a few weeks ago and it was only maybe 18 months old. I have others but that one was extra special.

Thankfully my new Romp arrived today!

How on earth have I never thought of that?

Wow there has been such an advance in the quality of vibrators over the last 20 years that I cannot believe you are still using the old one. Take it as a good excuse to explore the new vibrators that are available!

I think it's true that there's a lot more choice out there these days so there's lots of options but I think the quality has declined. Ann Summers have changed the material used on their rabbits from a firm silicone to something too soft and flimsy. I think a lot of toys are overpriced for what they are, but I've struck gold with my current wand ( Doxy).

Yes the price of the real quality vibrators is high so I agree with you there. But worth saving up for

My old one (RIP 😢) did the job so I never needed to change. I’ve never had the desire to have multiple toys or to experiment with different ones. I want my five minutes and job done! Maybe others want to experiment or play more or whatever, but for me it’s always been something to get rid of horniness or help me sleep.

There are so many out there. The clit sucking ones seem to have rave reviews but whenever anyone’s tried to suck mine in real life it’s been too intense. And frankly, how good can it be? I get my orgasm from a £10 one so I think I’ll just buy another one of those rather than pay lots more for a fancy one that gives me the same feeling albeit perhaps slightly quicker.

OP, the little Durex Bullet does a lovely job for me. Waterproof one’s available for an enhanced bath time. Just don’t do what l did and leave it on the bathside when people come round 🤭.

lt’s quiet and fits nicely in a makeup bag. I travel a lot for work and one comes everywhere with me.

Thanks I’ll look that up.

It’s strange. The thought of leaving it out for someone to see is so utterly mortifying (and is the reason I wouldn’t take mine on trips). It’s in the drawer, in a zipped up bag with other non-embarrassing things, except for when it’s being used. But if I was round a friend’s house and saw that they had one, I’d not think any differently about them at all. I bet most of us have them. Strange that I’d be so embarrassed.

OP, to be honest it was more giggles than blushes. Maybe l should not have said that l thought it was a rubber duck though!

l like functional items to be where you need them.

You just chucked it away ?
Isn't "The Repair Shop" still running on the Beeb ?

Shakeylegs; Hello I’ve brought this in for you to look at.

Presenter; Oh, It looks quite old and well used. Is it something that’s been in the family?

Shakeylegs; No. Only me.

Ha! I’m sure there’s a pin to be made involving the word ‘resurrection’ but it’s beyond me.

"Rectification" also came to mind, but I'm not sure we need to go there.

Take it along to your local Repair Cafe?

Read the clit sucker reviews.

they are insane. Especially when used with a vibrator.

A silver bullet vibe does for me. I have others - cheap and expensive - but that's the one we reach for almost every time.

This post made me smile - my wife has kept her non-working vibrator for more than 20 years since it last buzzed.
She uses it as what I think is best described as a dildo (even though not penis shaped anatomically it is penis sized). Sometimes we use it together, she gets better orgasms with it inside than the real thing and she also uses it solo when I'm away from home for masturbation. She calls it her "Little Helper"
So vibrators never die and it is cheaper because no batteries required!
Having said that, we do have a new bullet vibe that buzzes just fine - Little Helper inside and the buzz on her clitoris gives her a strong orgasm.

@Shakeylegs @StarlightLady yes yes yes ! Was mortified any time a friend or family member caught me or saw a toy of mine yet I know they all have their own! It’s so normal yet I want to die inside each time!
