Bravely Go Where No Vibrator Has Gone Before

Have you ever thought, “Gee, my vibrator is awesome, but you know what I really wish it had? A camera attached to it!”? If your answer is yes, I have good news for you: Such a thing now exists. It’s called the Gaga vibrator, and it comes equipped with a camera, allowing you to get up close and personal with your vagina in a way previously only possible at your OB/GYN’s office.

From sex toy company Svakom, which touts itself as “the world’s leader in intelligent intimate lifestyle products” (not a phrase I ever thought I would type, but stranger things have happened), the Gaga looks like most other silicon vibrators; the only difference is that it’s got a built-in camera at the tip, along with a small light (hey, it’s dark in there). The Daily Dot’s EJ Dickson likens it to a GoPro, noting that “instead of showing you what it’s like inside a grizzly bear’s mouth it shows you… well, actually, it’s not all that different from a GoPro.” This statement is both accurate and hilarious, and I applaud Dickson for coming up with such a marvelous simile. It comes with a USB charger, too, giving you an endless power supply for hours of enjoyment — and it can be controlled remotely with a smartphone app, not unlike BlueMotion and Vibease.

Want to know more? Here, have a video. Svakom is apparently based in China, so the translation of the text is… shall we say, a little awkward, but it gives you a pretty good idea of how it works:

I can’t say that I have ever particularly wanted a vibrator with a camera attached to it, but the idea is certainly fascinating. It’s not uncommon for women to like to watch themselves in the mirror while they get busy gettin’ busy; Gaga, therefore, takes that kink to the next level. I can also see how it might spice things up with your partner — and, as one of Jezebel’s commenters pointed out (ensuing thread aside, which is a whole ‘nother can of worms), it might also come in handy trying to locate lost condoms and the like. It happens. You can buy it here, as long as you’re willing to shell out $180 plus shipping for it.

I am unclear, by the way, whether the vibrator is so named because it will make you go gaga, if it has something to do with “Radio Ga Ga,” or if it’s a tribute to Lady Gaga, but perhaps some things are better left unanswered. As far as the vibrator itself is concerned, I’m sure it subscribes to this particular school of thought:

Sounds about right.
