Crank That Vibe!

Posted September 10th by Carlin

Betty and I have spent a lot of time searching for a low cost battery vibe we could send off to Africa as part of our efforts with Clitoraid.  We thought that we'd have to rely on battery power but this new toy may be our answer:

Environmentally conscious women are getting a buzz out of a new hand-cranked vibrator that makers say could help save the planet.  The eco-sex toy - dubbed the Earth Angel - uses a small wind-up handle to power up rechargeable batteries inside the casing.

It had originally been planned as a sex aid for the Third World where batteries and electricity supplies are unreliable.

But Irish manufacturers Camden Enterprises have been swamped with interest from Green followers after displaying the vibrator at an electronics fair in Linz, Austria, this week.

"We wanted to produce an environmentally friendly sex toy that appealed to all consumers regardless of gender, age or ethnicity.

"It has been in its development stage for the past two years and we are excited that our vision has become reality," said a spokesman.

From Good Vibrations: "Cranking the handle for eight minutes completely fills the power source, providing you with ethereal experiences up to an hour."

AWEEEEESOME!

that is SUCH a great idea. I can definitely see how that could be incredibly useful for sending to a nation where electricity and access to batteries is not an option.

Even for simply taking on a camping trip, this toy has a lot of potential.
