In order that any woman may derive a full measure of pleasure and success from life, it was necessary that she be possessed of health in mind and body. It is certain that the greatest thing in all this world is health.

Women that lived the 1920’s wanted to be full figured, and pink cheeked with bright eyes and a clear skin. They had to be graceful, full of nerve and life. That would mean that she could attain beauty, success, happiness, and everything that was worth while.

In cities across the U.S. companies were creating electric vibrators. Yes vibrators that women could use in the home to become more beautiful. By 1900 more than a dozen manufacturers began producing both battery-powered vibrators and models that operated from line electricity.

One of those electric vibrators was called the Arnold Massage Vibrator. It was made from a careful scientific study of massage as applied to different needs of the body.

The first basic patent was in 1902.

This machine only weighed twenty two ounces. It even came with a booklet to teach women how to use this vibrator on her face and scalp. Vibration was one sure natural method of accomplishing the result of increasing circulation. That was the benefit.

These vibrators created waves with controllable pulsation at frequencies ranging from 1-20 Hz. These infrasonic waves increased the blood flow and circulation to help the facial muscles and alleviate muscular pain in the face, jaw, and was also used on the body.

Vibration massage combined the benefits of these two forces-vibration and massage. Because while it gave extremely powerful and penetrating vibration it also gave a perfect massage more rapidly and thoroughly. Mail order was the standard method of marketing vibrators between 1900 and 1920. Every woman just had to have one to keep her youth.

Women could use these vibrators in the privacy of their dressing rooms or boudoir. They could sit in front of their mirrors on a stool and use the vibrator to give themselves a face, head, scalp, and neck treatment. These vibrators also claimed to give you a sound, restful sleep. Worry and fatigue would disappear. Women wanted to keep that essence of perpetual youth.

These vibrators came with several attachments that were used over the entire neck and throat. Ball applicators could be attached to the vibrator so women could press lightly into the muscles and tissues of their neck and underneath the jaw.

Women even used the vibrator to stimulate their head and back and forth on their foreheads to increase the circulation. They wanted those wrinkles to disappear.

During the turn of the century, vibrators began to be marketed as home appliances and were widely advertised in household publications. Salesmen would also visit the home and sell these vibrators to households.

At one time in this city of Racine there were six factories that were producing these different kinds of vibrators. Every woman wanted one so she could make her skin become more beautiful. Women wanted complexions that were clear, free from wrinkles, crowsfeet, pimples, blackheads, and angular lines.

These wonderful vibrators could cleanse the skin and pores, and externally remove all that should not be there. Women could gently knead and exercise their skin to promote a perfect pulsation of blood to the surface nerves and blood vessels, giving them that robust, healthy color that they wanted. Even in the 1920’s women did not want to look old. Many a woman owed her life and health to the wonderful influence of the vibrator.

Many different kinds of creams were created in the early 1900’s that were used by women along with the vibration treatment used in their homes.

Different kinds of cold creams were created to be used on the skin. Women would put these wonderful creams on and then use their vibrators to gently work the creams into the face, forehead, and neck. Rolling creams were used on the face before lanolin was invented.

The next day their skin would look lovelier than the day before. Through the past to the future women wanted to keep that youthful appearance so all the hard work that they had to do all day long would not show up on the face. Thanks to the invention of the vibrator women had a tool that they could use to keep their beauty as they grew older.
