[QUOTE=zelie zelerton] Rabbits are always nice - there are a ton of different variations. [/QUOTE] I second this suggestion - heartily. I have one toy that is fantastic, in my opinion. If you go to Amazon and search for Rabbit Habit Personal Massager, you’ll see what I mean. Mine didn’t cost that much, and doesn’t have the built in battery pack (mine has a wired remote - separate controls for the rabbit and the shaft). I’ve had mine for over 3 years. Yeah, baby. I can give you the link to the website I buy from. They’re awesome to work with - I had a faulty unit (heh!) and they took care of return shipping and everything. Just e-mail me or PM me. E-mail’s in the profile. Also, I have a finger vibrator that I use which is the bees knees! Bought that at a walk-in store, tho, so no linky on that. I do enjoy it when I don’t want to go full-on. 🙂 ---

I’m finding this thread very informative, since I’m thinking about buying one. What’s the noise level like on these things? I’m afraid I’ll end up with something that sounds like my electric toothbrush (which I ONLY use for brushing my teeth, you filthy pervs :D) – annoyingly loud. ---

Since most vibrators are more con_vex_ when I want con_cave,_ I can’t recommend anything personally. 🙂 But I gave a girlfriend one of the Hitachis once (as a going-away present!) and she loved it. Other gf’s seem to like the smaller-than-penis pocket versions better. At least if you have to tuck it in a purse. BTW, has anyone ever heard of a gadget called “Vibrafriend”? If yes, tell me if you ever had one. If not, ask me what it was! ---

I highly suggest it, once you narrow down what you’d like. ~Tasha [/QUOTE] The pronoun “she” refers to me and let me warn ya about buying online: you really are gambling. I’d say that half of my online purchases have been great (the Doc Johnson Rabbit, along with some basics). For instance, at the above listed site I got this pink leopard print one (what? It’s cute!) and the stupid thing takes two C (C!) batteries. The damn thing sounds like a friggin’ motor boat. I also got a little green jelly one from the above site and it barely even vibrates. It might in fact be the most useless vibrator ever. Oh, and it looks a lot like a cactus. And smells of kiwi. Yeah. ---

I second the Pocket Rocket. Small, strong vibe, pretty quiet when it’s under the covers. [www.pleasuregear.com](http://www.pleasuregear.com) also has oodles of vibes. ---

[/QUOTE] Thanks for the link. I’m aware that there are inside-out vibrators for the convex sex, including the “auto-suck” that you plug into a car cig lighter, but somehow they never interested me. Never found rubber dolls very appealing, either. I like the real thing – or at least the thought of the real thing – too much. What’s wrong with me? 😉 Besides, don’t they still make apple pie? (just kidding) On the other hand (!) if my ladies want to use toys on themselves with or without my help, more power (!) to them. Technology can be a wonderful thing, you betcha. [hijack] Alan O’Day once wrote a song called “Rubberine” about his affair with a love doll: It doesn’t cost a lot To ask her out to eat, And when I take her dancing, She’s so light on her feet… [/hijack] ---

Okay, the OP said she’s a little sensitive so this one’s probably not for her, but it’s my stand-by favorite (I’ve gone through two of them – took multiple years for each to die, but I’ll just say keep an eye on where the cord attaches…) [The Wahl Coil](http://www.amazon.com/Wahl-4120-200-All-Body-Massager-Pharmacy/dp/B000EQS33G/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-5253257-8327908?ie=UTF8&s=hpc&qid=1176957702&sr=8-1) It’s extremely powerful (I stay on low for the most part except for the… um… ending…) and practically silent. There’s a hum if you’re just holding it, but once it’s pressed against something you can barely hear a thing. Under a blanket? fugeddaboutit. I freaking\* love\* this thing. Mmm. ---
