Magic marker? TV remote?

If anything, it should have a lube dispenser built right in.

I vote for TV remote. Or a can opener. Or something. How about this guy? He's multi-purpose.

I just don't get it. Do these people think that those two functions are in the same genre of activity? 'Cause yeah, a microwave/toaster soooort of makes sense (both kitchen appliances) but this is more along the lines of a chocolate bar that you can also use to file your nails... or something.

lol... that's just so off... as in off-all... Who was the genius who came up with this? What's the next invention: a condom that doubles as a top-nail clipper??

The name is also particularly unfortunate. A womanizer, after all, is a rake, a cad. And it also seems to imply that shaving makes you into a real woman. Faugh.

A wipe dispenser might also be good- especially if your cup overfloweth. Get your jollies, wipe down afterwards, and drift off.

Optimus Prime?

Seriously, though, are women here comfortable with the idea that shaving = squicky? Some women I know shave, some don't. It's sad making that the ones who do shave might get shit for it just the way that the ones who don't do from the patriarchy.

Can't folks just be OK with choices people make, as long as they're doing it because they want to, and not because of social pressure?

And yeah. The name is rather dumb.

Wait- which end is supposed to be used on your ga-flavity? It doesn't sound near as bad if the razor's pointing away; I mean who needs fingertips anyway?

I second the lube suggestion. Also, how about a concealed toothbrush? That way if it goes off in a handbag or something, you could be like "Whoops! There goes my electric toothbrush!"; however I wouldn't recommend actually USING the toothbrush function.

"The magnificent Womaniser is not only smooth to the touch - it'll leave you smooth and strokable, too! This intimate shaver is hidden inside a single speed silicone massaging vibrator - the perfect combination for a night of orgasmic personal pleasure."

How is this the perfect combination for a night of orgasmic personal pleasure?? I also agree with the lube being built in. That's a really good idea. I mean, don't you hate having to lube up mid session?

I don't see anything wrong with shaving one's intimate parts, but the name of the vibe is rather unfortunate (womaniser? really? c'mon now) and I would never put a vibrating razor on my vulva! Yeeeouch!

It does look like the vibe was originally named the "Masturazor", but the description calls it "the world's first personal womaniser" on multiple websites. First personal womaniser? Seriously?

And Linzers, not surprisingly there ARE a few (usually labeled "discreet") vibrators that double as a lube applicator. They tend to look like little tubes of lipstick/chapstick.

Genetic Mishap, it looks to me as if the razor part can be concealed under a cap when the product is used as a vibe. No missing body parts need occur. :P

I can see the potential value in a waterproof gadget that you could use both to shave your legs and as a vibrator, because it might save you time in the shower (and it's pretty hard to cut yourself with an electric shaver), and could also come in handy for traveling --although I'd see greater travel value if the vibrator was hidden in the electric razor, at least for security checkpoint purposes. Since I don't use an electric razor, it wouldn't do me that much good, though. And this device doesn't seem all that waterproof, either.

1) This seems like a stupid combination, but maybe someone earlier in the thread hinted at the real reason for the design. Concealment. I don't think you should be ashamed to have a toy, or to travel with one, but some people do have anxiety about baggage screeners they will probably never meet judging them. So this could have been thought up by someone as a form of camouflage.

2) I could be wrong, but that looks like an electric trimmer, like the kind most electric men's shavers have for edging sideburns and stuff (I don't know if the electrics the sell to women have this feature). I do not think you can cut yourself on one of these, at least I've never managed to do so.

So this seems like a reiteration of someone else overreacting to a product that is simply marketed poorly.

I don't think anyone would actually cut themselves on this, but I see one disadvantage:

Usually women shave themselves in the bath or shower. If you're going to masturbate in the water, silicone lube is your friend -- but most silicone lubes can't be used with a silicone toy. They should have made the toy with elastomer.

Vibrator with hidden chocolate truffle dispenser?

Whether it's a cut throat-type or electric the idea of razor+sex toy is not a positive one, my brain can't help but think sex toy into vagina so razor inside sex toy means razor into vagina ouch!

It's like if a brand of sausages was made by someone called Chef Testicles, you can't help but make the connection.

Seriously, though, are women here comfortable with the idea that shaving = squicky? Some women I know shave, some don't. It's sad making that the ones who do shave might get shit for it just the way that the ones who don't do from the patriarchy.
Where on the thread or in the post does anyone give women shit for shaving? When I read the post, all I saw was a ridiculous, multi-tasking product that's very counterintuitive because when I think of sexy times the last thing I think of is an electric hair trimmer. The post isn't titled "Vibrators Should Not Be Able To Cut You and All Women Who Shave Are Whores For the Patriarchy."

As a guy (and one who likes it when he can get many uses out of one product) I'm not really sure what's wrong with this, apart from the fact that it's a weirdly ironic idea.

The only part that threw me off was the name. I'm glad, surfing through the comments, that I'm not the only one who thought that was off.

Maybe what's weird is that I'm commenting on a post about a vibrator. Um... I'm going to have to mull that one over.

Since I've got a weakness for arty guys, I'd agree that a vibrator that transforms into a non-toxic marker would be hella sexy.

Why would you even need something like that?

I could understand, as people have stated above, a vibe that can be DISGUISED as an electrical personal hygiene item, like a toothbrush or shaver, for travel purposes, and so you can keep it discreetly in the house etc, but this is a shaver disguised as a sex toy... wrong way around entirely.

Hmmm... lube dispenser is a good idea, though. That could work.

Uh. This must've been designed by a guy. (Was it? Oh, I'm afraid to look.) Try designing a men's sex toy with anything remotely akin to a razor on it - even a "well-protected" electric one - and I'll bet you wouldn't get a guy within 20 feet of it. Why are women expected to want to buy this creepy shit associating their vaginas/orgasms with shaving/sharp things? Men, however, are of course allowed to have a deep-seated cultural and historical fear of sharp objects by their private parts.

Secondly, does anyone seriously think something like this would be approved by the FDA, if it regulated sex toys (as it should, but of course doesn't)? Really? I'm pretty sure it would not.

Sadly enough, there is NO health or safety regulation of sex toys. The owners and founders of my local Minnesota feminist sex toy shop, the Smitten Kitten, founded an as-yet-fledgling organization they call The Coalition Against Toxic Toys. You can read a bit about it here:
http://www.smittenkittenonline.com/pages/CATT.cfm

But the website is still under construction.

Anyway, I have a feeling if women's sex toys were actually monitored this kind of goofy "razor/vibrator" shit would not be created - and if more women realized the types of chemicals their sex toys were made of, that they wouldn't be buying the types they're buying.

P.S. I see now this is being sold in the U.K. I'm not sure what their sex-toy regulations are like - if they, unlike the U.S., actually have some.

Lol @ virago.bites Vibrator with hidden chocolate truffle dispenser?

I'd buy one of them!

I think it should have wine dispenser at the other end. Or, better yet, get up and make me a sandwich afterwards.

This isn't new! Gilette's "Venus Vibrance" seemed to me like a lil showerproof vibrator for the fraction of the price of a regular vibrator. Why the hell would you need your razor to vibrate? And why would you need such voluptuous, curvaliscious handle? Oh, that's right, because you want a "Sensational Shaving Experience" that will leave you "More Radiant than Ever Before". MmmBOY!

http://www.gillettevenus.com/us/

My only problem is that it only comes in purple or pink. No pun intended. Or would that be a double entendre?

Don't most vibrators lead a double life antwat? In the catalogs, they get disingenuous descriptions as "personal massagers" for "back, neck, and other tense muscles."

Hah. Antwat. I meant to type "anyway." But my combination vibrator-keyboard-cinnamon-bun-machine makes it difficult.

My boyfriend had a vibrating man's razor...maybe I was missing something. ;) As far as I know, the vibration was supposed to make the hairs stand up so you could get a closer shave. But it was probably just a way for the razor people to get in bed with the battery people. "Works best with Duracell Ultra! and no other batteries!" Mentioning "in bed" and "razor" in the same sentence is definitely not a turn on.

Um, has anyone noticed that it looks like a squid? That weird tail thing on the end...is that so you can hang it in the shower?

And I second (third, fourth?) the creepiness of the name? Womaniser? I don't want a womaniser anywhere near my pussy, much less shaving it.

Every muscle in my lower body just clamped up at the thought of this thing. And is that the actual razor part? Why's it so teensy? And you wouldn't be able to see or control what you're doing, with a handle that big. Eeeeeurghhhh, get it away.

@allegra: oh, isn't Smitten Kitten just the best thing ever?

I've heard of vibrators you attach to the end of an electric toothbrush, but this is a new one to me. It doesn't give me the willies, but I can't imagine using it.

I'm familiar with the company that is selling it. LoveHoney is quite a good company.

Why would we need a vibrator to do that when our vaginas can do that for us?

FemiDancer,

You might be missing out on somethin. My husband has the same thing I think. All you do it pop the blade part off and you have a pretty nice little vibrator. It's the reason I never bothered replacing my old one :)

...any ideas?

How about an awesome car

Okay this little item is disgusting on many levels. Once again we have a product promoting hairless female bodies cause God forbid there be a stray hair anywhere. Nothing like disciplining the muff. I went and checked out the website and noticed that sold cock rings as well. Imagine my surprise when I noticed that cock ring didn't have a razor attached to it. Of course women are the only ones silly enough continually near our crotches and then smile about it like it is the most natural thing in the world. Very Creepy.

A friend once came up with an idea for a vibrator that made toasted sandwiches after you had an orgasm. We all decided that if such a thing was created none of us would ever leave our rooms again.

Ewww it's called the womaniser... It shaves you and fucks you. Just like THAT GUY. Ugghhh - at least call it the "smooth ride" or something like that.. let us be the people doing to actioning! I like riding those kinda things.. but I don't like the idea of being "womanised".. glughrheionvoent. That was me choking on my own vomit, sorry.

the womanizer, from the wonderful people who brought: the ladykiller- the vibrating taser!

seriously though.... the vibrator should transform into an mp3 player that ONLY plays barry white.

In case that was incomprehensible.. my point is that by calling it the "womaniser" it's essentially making the vibrator the subject and the woman the object, rather than the other way around. I sometimes like a shave down there just to mix it up a bit and because it feels different (not necessarily better, just different!) - but if the idea is that IT'S shaving me rather than ME shaving MYSELF, and IT'S fucking ME rather than ME fucking IT, then yeah.. that kinda makes me feel a bit like it's just another idiot boyfriend asking me to shave down there "for him".

I kind of like this. When you have a roommate, the shower is your best place to masturbate. A waterproof vibe that is also a shaver is really practical.

I'm a college student. I'm living in a three person room this year. Can you tell?

@Renee:Nothing wrong with shaving your pubes. I've been doing it since long before I starting having sex, or even thinking about having sex. I've tried growing it out a few times, but I really prefer it bare. I shave even when I'm not getting any action and don't have any chance of getting any in the near future. Don't be judgey.

They do make a lube+vibe combo. And it's on sale, too!

http://store.babeland.com/vibrators-discreet/duet-vibe

As an ex sex shop employee, I should warn interested folks that this particular vibe comes filled with cherry-flavored lube. You should never use flavored or scented lubes near your vag - you're asking for a yeast infection. Flavored lubes are strictly for oral sex for men.
