The Emergence of Vibrators

When vibrators were invented, erotic massages got even more popular. The vibrators of today are significantly different from what was used back then, but they were just as effective and limited the treatment period to minutes. Around the 19th century, hydrotherapy devices (another kind of vibrator) were invented and used in America and Europe.

By 1870, doctors could easily attain a vibrator driven by clockwork. Before that though, an electromechanical vibrator was used in a French asylum.

With the invention of electricity, the vibrator seen in today’s market has allowed sensual massages to become even more advanced.
