If you look now, there is a warning label that reads in part "do not use vaginally". This story is why that warning is there.

There was a 40+ year old recently divorced woman with no kids who moved back in with her parents. One night they went out to dinner, and she broke out the plug-in Wahl vibrator. Apparently, she was, umm, over-excited and got the thing very wet. The parents lived in an older house without updated wiring, and there was some sort of crack in the insulation around the vibrator wire. When it got wet, it shorted and elctrocuted her.

The thing that makes this one of my favorite claims to discuss at parties isn't just that she died having an orgasm but that her parents filed a product liability claim against the manufacturer (a valid one, too, I might add) acknowledging that their daughter died masturbating. I'm sure the woman, if she were still with us, would have been horrified.

The moral of the story is, ladies, if you're going to use a plug-in vibrator, make sure your house has the proper breakers installed and that there are no cracks or defects in the vibrator's wiring.

Well, I don't use it against my bare skin, and it doesn't get wet, because I wear my panties when I use it. The vibration of the Wahl would be a little too much to put straight on to my clit, and I certainly don't put it into my vagina. And I definitely do have upgraded wiring in this house.

I think I'm safe.
