Who doesn’t know the notorious scene from the cult series “Sex and the City” in which Samantha Jones wants to exchange her broken vibrator – and the seller then replies: “That’s not a vibrator, that’s a neck massager”. When he then asks her what was wrong with the device, the marketing expert replies confidently: “I can’t make it anymore.” In fact, she’s not the only woman who has realized that a massage stick can also be used as a stimulator in the intimate area. The device is now sold by many manufacturers as a sex toy. Regardless of the area for which the product is used, we will present the functions of the massager in detail again.
There are two different types of massage sticks on the market, which either have to be operated manually or are electrically operated. Depending on the manufacturer, different materials are processed, the most common include silicone and rubber or wood. The shape is actually always the same for the models: A long, ergonomically shaped handle, at the end of which there is usually a round massage head. If the device has an electric motor, the intensity of the vibrations can be set individually and adapted to personal needs. Massage sticks with an integrated rechargeable battery are particularly popular, as they do not require a cable – and can therefore be used more flexibly (without a socket).Tip: There are also significantly smaller models in pocket format for on the go.
Pain in the neck area, shoulders or back cannot be kneaded away with your own hands. The massage stick was invented to loosen up individual parts of the body: Due to its practical length, it can easily reach hard-to-reach areas and is said to release stubborn tension or relieve sore muscles. With the selective application, you can save yourself expensive massages by simply loosening the fascia yourself. For home use, for example, there are handheld devices with 20 different vibration modes for treating individual parts of the body. Whether neck massage, foot or back massage – you decide for yourself where and how intensively the whole body massage stick is used.
As Samantha Jones once claimed, a massage stick can also be used for other purposes – for example for intimate hours alone (or even as a couple). The explanation for this is very simple: the intense vibrations of the device are similar to those of an ordinary vibrator. Therefore, it is not surprising why mainly silicone models are used for intimate massages. They stimulate the external intimate area and can therefore help women in particular to climax. In combination with a soothing massage oil or a lubricating gel (water-based), the device can be used in a variety of ways. However, keep in mind that the rod should always be cleaned afterwards.
Tips on hygiene: To keep the massage stick germ-free, you should clean it regularly with soap and water, provided the material is suitable for this. Alternatively, you can also use a special toy cleaner. It can be used for silicone, ABS, PVC, latex and rubber.
