7 Things You Never Knew About the Rabbit

Think you already know everything about your favorite bunny-eared sex toy? Think again. The rabbit vibrator has a history full of surprises, and today it’s one of the most popular sex toys in the world. Let’s dive into some fun facts!

1. The Iconic Rabbit Design

The rabbit vibrator was first created in Japan in the 1980s. At the time, Japanese obscenity laws banned realistic-looking dildos with thick veins. To get around this, a clever designer created a cute bunny-inspired vibrator with tickling ears and a stimulating shaft. The design was fun, playful, and perfectly legal — and the  rabbit vibe was born.

2. A little lady luck

In Japan, rabbits are considered symbols of luck. Interestingly, the toy’s original designer was also born in the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese zodiac. Double the luck — and the rabbit became a worldwide icon of pleasure.

3. All types of rabbits

The first rabbit vibes from the 80s were very basic. Today’s versions are completely different:

• Rechargeable

• Waterproof

• Portable

• Multiple vibration speeds and patterns

4. Rabbit-free zone

Yes, you read that right. In Alabama, USA, the sale of sex toys (including rabbit vibes) is banned under the 1998 Anti-Obscenity Enforcement Act. The only way around the law is to market them as “novelty” or “educational” items. Pleasure lessons, anyone?

5. Straight to VHS

The rabbit gained massive popularity in 1998 after it appeared in the TV series Sex and the City in the episode “The Turtle and the Hare.” Charlotte became obsessed with her rabbit, and her friends staged an intervention.

At the time, HBO wasn’t yet widely available, so the toy was shown to retailers on a homemade VHS tape to prove how powerful the buzz could be.

6. Celebrity street cred

From Eva Longoria to Oprah Winfrey, celebrities have praised the rabbit vibe. If it’s good enough for them, it’s probably good enough for your bedside drawer.

7. Double the stimulation = double the fun

The real power of the rabbit vibrator is in its dual stimulation:

• Rotating beads or pearls in the shaft

• Vibrating bunny ears for clitoral stimulation

This unique combo can deliver intense G-spot and clitoral pleasure at the same time.
