Philips To Use Vibration Know-How To Make Vibrators (Sonicooch?)

Philips is planning on using its technological know-how gained by making some of the best electric toothbrushes out there in making a "massager" called the Warm Intimate Massager designed for couples in the UK. Philips' consumer business is supposedly not doing so hot, but if anyone can design a £89 ($157) marital aid we hope can vibrate at one billion times a second and clean itself with UV radiation, it's them. What's next in this trend? Procter & Gamble's Vaginal-B? [Times Online via Boing Boing Gadgets] More »

Sonicare FlexCare Toothbrush Reviewed (Verdict: Expensive, But Worthwhile)

We brush our own collective teeth with an older model Sonicare, which is why their FlexCare update with UV radiation seemed like a sure bet at improving what's already great. JJ from BBG stuck one in his mouth a couple times for 2 minutes each and found that it's cheaper to replace than before, stronger (with the new Massage mode), easier to cram into corners, and all in all a great buy at $180—unless you already have an old model and feel like waiting for a price drop. We agree. [BoingBoing Gadgets] More »

Gear Raves: Sonicare Elite 7750

I'm a little late to the Sonicare party, but hot damn if these aren't great. I just picked one up last week and already my mouth feels cleaner than it's ever been before—even after a dentist's visit. It vibrates faster than Michael J. Fox after a coke binge back when he was alive—wait, what do you mean he's not dead? Apologies, Mr. Fox. More »
