Vibrating Mascara Wand Can't Do You Or Your Makeup Well

Joanna Stern — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 15:20:00 EDT

The last place I've ever thought to stick a vibrating wand is in my eye. I like my vibrating razor, but this video tear down of motorized mascara makes me wonder why any lady would want to tickle her lashes.

The battery powered tiny motor inside Maybelline's $15 Pulse Perfection supposedly delivers 7,000 vibrations per minute which is way faster than anyone can actually apply mascara to one's eyelashes, but I'm told by my friends who have used it that you have very little control of the vibrator itself, it can be too rough on your lashes and comes out clumpy. I'd most likely poke myself in the eye and frankly if I am doing that I'd rather it be while putting on Terminator Vision contact lenses. [NotCot via Make]

Butt-Crack Detector: Plumbers Are So Hot These Days

Dan Nosowitz — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 09:00:00 EDT

Instructables posted a guide to creating a plumbers'-crack detector, using a LilyPad Arduino controller, a vibrating motor, and a photoresistor to measure how much light is beaming into your crack. When the photoresistor comes uncovered, the motor starts to vibrate, letting you know that your "coin slot" is exposed and people behind you may be looking and/or laughing. After that, it's your choice: hike up those low-ride jeans, or give a little show? [Instructables, created by Amy Khoshbin]

Vibrating Alarm Clock Jiggles Your Face Awake

Jason Chen — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 14:20:00 EDT

We've seen a couple vibrating alarm clocks before, but none as slick looking as this Karlsson version. By day it looks like a cordless phone sitting in a rounded base. By night it looks like a cordless phone slipped under your pillow in order to jostle your head awake in the morning. As great as this is, Joel of Boing Boing Gadgets notes that you can easily set your phone as a vibrating alarm as a more "free" solution. Though if you want to play it safe and not have cellphone radiation force its way through your skull for eight hours a night in order to get a signal—which may or may not be hazardous—this seems like the better way to go.

Massage Pants Soothe the Parts Other Pants Just Can't Reach

Kit Eaton — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 04:56:34 EDT

Here's a product for those of you whose desk-bound working life puts a strain on your posterior: massage pants. Ohoho yes. They've got seven massage units arranged in a "a scientific and rational allocation" to best soothe your (ahem) parts, a number of different vibration modes and an exciting-sounding 20-minute automatic mode for handsfreeness. I'll say it again: ohoho yes. There's also a ring of infrared heaters with auto temp control to keep your tush toasty, and it's all powered by a rechargeable battery pack. Interested? Well, you'd have to be very interested: Wenzhou Wonderful Massage Equipment Co., Ltd sadly only takes orders of 500 units. [Product via Gadget lab]

Vibrating Automatic Soap: One Less Barrier to Cleanliness

blongo3 — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 19:05:26 EST

So here at Gizmodo, we're not exactly opposed to washing regularly. It's just that it's such a pain in the ass to have to keep moving the soap back and forth just to get a decent lather going. But now we'll be much cleaner, thanks to Vibrating Soap.

The idea is that when you pick up the soap, it goes into vibration mode automatically. Then, while it is in your filthy little hands, it creates a nice soapy lather all by itself. Apparently the vibration mechanism is placed deep within the bar of soap (Where else would you put it?).

While this is great for us dirty blogging types, we cannot recomend this for our readers behind bars. Your soap is already slippery enough, and in your dangerous bathrooms it could lead to a terrible situation. See the soap in action after the jump.
