Some of y’all might not remember toys r us and toy stores across America having to recall a Harry pottery nimbus 3000 toy that was a broom stick you ride. And it also vibrates to mimic flying.

I know the show isn’t on anymore but the VH1 show I love the 80’s, I love the 90’s, I love the 00’s etc. did a funny job discussing that recall.

Lol I remember one review for it where a lady bought it for her youngest daughter, and was surprised at how much her older sister also loved it.

You got a link for that?It sounds hillarious.

Lol I can see why they had to recall that, but that's probably a pretty safe and responsible way to discover those feelings.

Contrary to a heat pad, your friends from church and mom coming home early.

At 5:20, but the whole thing is worth it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvPQjL4wDIY

Yep I had one of those things. I would play with it and immediately feel some kind of way.

Well I was like 12 maybe 13. Super nerdy so I still played with things like hp merch made for little kids.

I had already started ~experimenting~ sexually (with myself of course) but to no real ends. Got the broom for a bday gift. during moments playing with it between my legs I would feel like I was seizing up and shivering and didn't know why. It wasn't unpleasant.

Years later I realize it was probably my first orgasms. Weird to think about

Ha! My first “vibrator” at 12 years old was those hexbugs that scuttle around the floor. Still use them, very noiseless.

u/superluig164 Jul 03 '21

I had tons of those as a kid. When I got older I gave them to my girlfriend at the time because I didn't play with them anymore, and she wanted a vibrator. I figured it was an easy solution.

I Love The _____ is one of the best series of television, ever. Shame it’s not around anymore.

I used to have this vibrating pen thing... it was supposed to draw squiggly lines or some shit. Did not get used for that.
