Trends and fads come and go, but there are some things that stand the test of time. They never go out of style, and attract generation after generation of loyal followers. These include Levi’s blue jeans, Tiffany jewelry (with its obligatory distinctive blue gift box), Colgate toothpaste, and Kellogg’s Corn Flakes.
You can add another thing to the list for consideration: The Magic Wand vibrator.
I’m not shilling for the company– we don’t do product placement here at Fit is a Feminist Issue. Nor do we take any advertising. However, I noticed that Wirecutter, the reviewing arm of the New York Times company, is still giving this vibrator its top recommendation. And in fact, people have been going cuckoo for this gagdet for upwards of half a century. You can read more about the Magic Wand phenomenon here.
9 years ago I wrote a blog post about visiting a sex toy shop in Boston with a friend I met at Kripalu, a place noted for its concentration on multiple modes of self-care. When I took a look at it today, I was surprised (and also not surprised) that some things just don’t change. Those include:
- The importance of having experiences off the clock
- The importance of relieving stress
- The importance of promoting good sleep
Sexy solo time (as I called it then in an attempt to be cutesy) can help us care for ourselves and feel better, whether we have a partner or partners or not. And I say huzzah to that.
Take a look at my blog post from 2016 and see what you think. One thing that probably has improved is better device charging. Hey, some things do get better with time.
