Rabbit Vibrator Guide

The herstory of Rabbit Vibrator

We can thank the laws of Japan for creating one of the best vibrator designs of all time: the rabbit vibrator. Adult toys, the law states, must not be made to resemble genitals in any way, so sex toy designers let their imaginations fly!

The result was fabulous dual-action vibrators in the shape of rabbits and beavers, with a swirling shaft (usually resembling a totem-like figure) and a vibrating clit stimulator in the shape of flickering ears, nose or tongue of a cute animal like a rabbit or beaver.

Here at Sh!, we first discovered rabbit-style vibrators 15 years ago at the back of a very dusty shelf at a huge sex toy warehouse in the east end of London. The double-entendre name on the box, of course, said Roger Rabbit Vibrator.

This was 1993, a time when the sextoy world was dominated by ugly plastic sex toys most of which were orange (flesh-colour apparantly!) and realistic. The Sh! Girlz were instantly intrigued by this pretty pink toy that looked like a sweetie machine and, on trying, were instantly captivated!

We renamed this rabbit vibe "Jessica Rabbit", and proceeded to tell the world about this amazing sex toy - we featured the Jessica Rabbit Vibrator in Cosmo as early as 1993 and it has since gone onto huge fame, staring in countless tv shows, being reviewed and recommended in almost every women's magazine and national newspaper and talked about with a fever amoungst milllions of female best mates!

In the early 2000's a Rabbit vibrator, called Rabbit Habbit was hurled into mega stardom by the glitzy American sitcom “Sex and the City.” In a genius twist of expectations, it was the normally prudish and always twee Charlotte who refused cocktails with the girls in favour of staying home with her new rabbit vibe.

The day after this infamous episode was one of the maddest days at Sh! - the phone rang off the hook with women demanding their own Rabbit vibrator, whilst in store the bunnies were hopping off the shelves in droves!!!

That many rabbit vibes are so widely refered to as "Jessica Rabbit Vibrator" (and even named as such in wikipedia) - shows the influence Sh! has had in the erotic market.

More importantly, the fact that so many women now own a rabbit vibrator shows that where 100 years ago vibrators were used to cure hysteria, today’s interest is much more in causing it!

In her many and various guises: “Jackrabbit”, “Rampant Rabbit”, “Rabbit Pearl”, “Roger Rabbit”, “Rabbit Habbit” and of course “Jessica Rabbit” she has graced the shelves of many a less-than-glitzy adult store since.

Why Rabbit Vibes deserve their reputation

“Adult” toy she may be, but the Rabbit vibrator is still, for thousands of women, an amazing erotic discovery. Most women rave about the special way the bunny's ears hug the clitoris, delivering intense, but subtle vibrations to the sides of the clitoris rather than directly onto the tip (intense direct clitoral stimulation for many women can be too squeak-inducing to be really pleasurable!!) Couple this with the amazing massaging effect produced by the rotating beads that stimulate the area just inside the vagina where there are more sensitive and responsive nerve endings than further inside and its no wonder that the Rabbit Vibe is the most famous sex toy in the world today.

We are proud to say that over the 15 years she’s been a bestseller at Sh!, the Rabbit vibrator has been given all the credence she deserves. It has given more women, more fantastic orgasms than any other sex toy on the market. Bar none!!

The downside of Rabbit Vibes

For such an amazing toys there's got to be a downside. Unfortunately there is. The vast majority of Rabbit style vibrators available in the UK are made of Jelly: a soft, squishy material which is a mix of PVC and Phthalate Softeners. PVC is totally safe, but Phthalate Softeners have recently raised health concerns. That's why unlike other companies who are keeping very stum about phalate softeners, we we strongly recommend using condoms on jelly toys.

Some sex toy companies are claiming that their Rabbit is sillicone (the safest material for sex toys) when they are not, (they may have a little silicone mixed with the Jelly, :-(, so it's wise to be cautious and informed.

For more info on sex toy materials see Adult Toys Made from Jelly/PVC

Non-Jelly Rabbit Vibes

Non-jelly Rabbit vibes DO exist and we are sure that the range of styles WILL grow as sex toy manufactures look for alternatives to jelly. The best phthalate-free rabbit vibrator is the Rabbit Habbit. made from elastomer. It is a true star of the Rabbit vibrator world. However, the Ree Happy Duo (which is "rabbit-style" rather than a true rabbit vibe), the Romote Controlled Jessica Rabbit Vibe which are both made of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomers), a phthalate-free material, and the Pure Vibes Rabbit which is made of 100% Silicone, are also phthalate-free.

So many Rabbit Vibes....so little time!!!

At Sh! we cherry-picked the best of the rabbit vibrators. Since the popularity of Rabbit vibes has boomed, manufactures have capitalized on this by releasing literally hundreds of different styles, often with no real difference between them.

Here at Sh! we offer:

• Original Jessica Rabbit Vibrator
• Thruster Rabbit Vibrator
• All-in-One Jessica Rabbit Vibrator
• Waterproof Jessica Rabbit Vibe
• Thriller Rabbit Vibrator
• Remote Controlled Rabbit Vibe
• Rabbit Habbit
• Mini Jessica Rabbit Vibrator

which all feature the fabulous rotating bead feature and proper bunny-ear clit-stims so beloved of many women.

BUT! - “what’s the difference between all these rabbit vibreators?” - we know you will ask as this is one of the most frequently-asked questions at the vibrator stands in our London store.

Original Jessica Rabbit Vibrator. This Rabbit vibe has a separate battery box, which is sturdy and square (long-lasting!), but which may be more difficult to hold for those with small hands. Aesthetically it is quite “garish” with multi-coloured beads and bright pink jelly shaft… The ears however are much stronger than on any other Jessica vibrator – so a good choice for clit girls. Thruster Rabbit Vibrator is different: the beads move up and down inside the toy to give a thrusting sensation. There are rabbit vibrators on the market that actually do piston up and down, but after much exhaustive testing, The Sh! Girlz found that these models generally have a very short lifespan and this is why we don’t carry them. The batteries of the Thruster Rabbit Vibes are encased in the main body of the toy, buttons activate the trusting action and also offer different types of vibration including escalating and throbbing. The Thruster Rabbit Vibrator also offers vibration at the very tip of the insertable portion which is different!

All-in-One Jessica Rabbit Vibrator Many people assume that the All-in-1 Jessica Rabbit is better because there are no wires. Although it may look more compact and neat, in actual practice this is probably not the easiest toy to use. You are essentially doing everything with just one hand - holding it, pressing the (upside down) controls etc - and it can all get a bit complicated. Because the batteries are integrated into the toy’s shaft, it is also a lot heavier to hold than the others (with the wired Jessicas you can just put the battery compartment down by your side, or hand it over for you partner to control!). The All-in-One is great however for people who have a dislike of wires, are pretty dexterous and who’d like their other hand free for other pleasures…

The Differences between other rabbit vibes are pretty fairly self-explainatory:

The Waterproof Jessica Rabbit Vibe is waterproof, meaning it can be taken into the shower, rather than immersed in a hot bath which is NOT a good idea! The Mini Jessica Rabbit Vibrator fits nicely into the luggage for that naughty weekend away. And the Remote Controlled Rabbit Vibrator is remote-controlled ....

Here at Sh! we will continue to cherry-pick the best rabbit vibes on the market to offer you a simply great choice of styles to choose from....
