NAPA, Calif. — The Rabbit Pearl from Vibratex was featured in Forbes article, “20 Years Later, How The ‘Sex and the City’ Vibrator Episode Created a Lasting Buzz.”
In the article, author and Professor Lynn Comella, discusses “what may be one of the most influential, recognizable and iconic sex toys in existence.”
Comella noted, “It became not only a pop culture sensation, but a case study in sex-toy product placement that ushered in a new era of sexual consumerism, one in which female shoppers boldly strutted into sex-toy stores looking to purchase the vibrator they’d seen on Sex and the City.”
Shay Martin, Vice President of Vibratex, said, “We have demonstrated our commitment to our customers, and to their customers in turn over our 35 years with offerings such as the Rabbit Pearl, it pushed the limits of possibilities in dual-action toys at that time.
“To see this character, who’s a little more prim and proper, discover her sexuality likely resonated with a lot of women” she continued, “20 years later to still see the impact ‘Sex and the City’ has had on the Rabbit Pearl, exploration of female sexuality and the sex-positive culture — it’s been an honor and humbling experience.”
Martin explained, “Average annual sales jumped by more than 700% in years that followed the airing."
