Past-urbation

by Jimmyjane

Have you talked to your grandmother about masturbation lately? Probably not, unless your grandmother is Joani Blank – founder of Good Vibrations and collector of vintage vibrators.

Blank’s extensive collection has just been integrated with her company’s to form San Francisco’s first Antique Vibrator Museum. This small gallery is located in the rear of the Good Vibrations Polk Street store.

The museum features an eclectic assortment dating back to 1890. Dr. Carol Queen, Staff Sexologist, can give you a historical tour that highlights the invention and functions of early vibrators. The sordid past of the world’s favorite sex accessory – and one of the first domestic electric appliances – gives a unique perspective of the history of female health and sexuality, from the Victorian era to the women’s liberation movement. …Read more. >

Jimmyjane and Family Guy… Fooled You

by Jimmyjane

Surprise – the FORM family will not be appearing on the April 1st episode of Family Guy, nor anytime soon. At least, not  to our knowledge.

It was just a prank (though not a bad idea, really!)

See our announcement that fooled a few suckers.

A Vibrator is Forever

by Jimmyjane

In our culture of planned obsolescence it’s rare to find products that are built to last a lifetime. Seasonal upgrades may have their place in fashion and technology, but when it comes to the products that engage our sexuality, there is no place for poorly made vibrators that break before you can say ohmygod.

That’s why more and more people choose to invest a bit more on a quality product today and save themselves the time and money it will cost tomorrow to replace it. But time and money are not the only resources saved – products that last also reduce material consumption, energy consumption and landfill.

When Jimmyjane introduced our one year warranty back in 2005, we were the first in the industry to do so, and we’ve since inspired others to follow …Read more. >

The Wow Factor (Part 2)

by Jimmyjane

As we discussed a couple weeks ago, the landscape of vibrator design is constantly changing and improving, like a caterpillar turning to a beautiful, electronic, pleasure-inducing butterfly.

So what does that mean for you, the savvy customer? It means that while it’s easier to find high-quality, well-designed vibrators, it’s harder to decide which one is best for you. Here are three places to start your quest for the perfect sex accessory – power, durability and “wow.”

Power – For many, more power means more pleasure. The intensity of a vibrator depends on the type, quality and quantity of motors, and the power source that drives them. Look for a vibrator with a digitally controlled precision motor (or two) to get the strongest vibrations with the lowest sound levels and longest battery life. …Read more. >

Mirror, Mirror

by Jimmyjane

While the close proximity and tangled limbs of most sexual positions can yield amazing sensations, they can seriously limit your view.

Not to worry – that’s where mirrors come in. A strategically placed reflection allows you and your partner to play exhibitionist and voyeur simultaneously. From the flirty oval of The Unbearable Lightness of Being, to the ceiling mounted Basic Instinct approach, mirrors are an easy way to capture the action in real time.

Catch subtle expressions or the curve of a spine. The motion of muscles can add an entirely new dimension to the experience. The view of your own body responding has the potential to be equally exciting.

Not sure how to start? …Read more. >

The Wow Factor (Part 1)

by Jimmyjane

 

When we launched our first vibrators in 2004, a well-designed, well-made vibrator was pretty much unheard of. Instead, the majority of products were cheaply made, frightening to look at, and likely to die after only a few months – or hours – of use. They often promised more than they could deliver, and instead delivered much that was undesirable – noisy operation, toxic materials and the unnerving disclaimer that they were “for novelty use only.”

As you’ve likely noticed, the market has changed dramatically in the intervening years.

The good news is that many vibrators have become more powerful, more durable, and more effective. They’ve evolved from battery-devouring appliances into innovative, efficient companions that are easier on our planet and your wallet. …Read more. >

American Women Top Charts in Vibrator Ownership and Universal Hotness

by Jimmyjane

 

According to recent data from Newsweek, American women lead the world in vibrator ownership, second only to their savvy Taiwanese compatriots.

Also worth noting – Taiwanese women have the highest math scores of any nation, and the USA has the most Miss Universe wins.

Our deduction – using a vibrator makes you smarter and more attractive.

Or perhaps it’s just that smart, good-looking people buy the most vibrators.

You decide.

A Manhattan Love Story

by Jimmyjane

Shopping in Manhattan just got more creative thanks to our friend Rachel Shechtman’s new retail concept – STORY. This 2,000 square foot gallery-like space opened its doors in February with the theme of love, merchandising Jimmyjane products beside brands ranging from Vosges Chocolates to Tom’s Shoes.

Shechtman’s vision is to integrate brand narratives in a meaningful way, and she’s off to a great start. “Love Story” featured many of our favorite couples-oriented products including FORM Vibrators, AFTERGLOW Massage Oil Candles, and ESSENTIALS Pocket Pleasure Sets from Jimmyjane, alongside PACT underwear, Sir Richard’s Condoms, and more. …Read more. >

On Your Knees, Ladies

by Jimmyjane

 

It’s Leap Day – the day that arrives just once every four years. Societies have traditionally made special allowances on February 29th. Its relative infrequency gives us all a carte blanche to do things a little differently, mix it up, and enjoy the results.

One such tradition involves popping the proverbial question. Irish tradition dictates that Leap Day is the one day that women are allowed to propose marriage to men. According to legend, Saint Patrick and Saint Bridget made this feminist deal (long before feminism existed) in order to balance traditional gender roles in the same way that Leap Day balances the calendar. Additionally, the tradition dictates that if a man turns down a woman’s proposal on Leap Day, he is required to buy her a pair of gloves (some countries say 12 pairs). This is presumably to help her hide the shame of not wearing an engagement ring. …Read more. >

Bringing OC Housewives Together

by Jimmyjane

 

Did you catch last week’s episode of “The Real Housewives of Orange County?” If you did, you saw a brief but memorable cameo appearance by our very own FORM 3. It seems these Housewives just can’t stay away (the same team sampled Jimmyjane wares at Fred Segal just a couple seasons ago).

A little plot background before you watch the clip to the left – Tamra and Gretchen, two of the “Housewives,” are trying to grow their friendship. And what better way to strengthen their BFF bond than shopping for sex accessories?

Tamra seems uncharacteristically shy when she enters the sex shop, but CJ, her friend and the shop owner, quickly puts her at ease, sharing her array of products and their benefits.
