Battery Powered Vibrators
|
The first electric vibrator was invented around
1880 and was powered by a large and heavy battery.
By 1900 battery powered vibrators were widely
available to physicians for home and office use the
early battery powered vibrators were also marketed
for home medical use. Once electricity was commonly
available in most homes the early battery powered
units dropped off the market.
