Quality improvement project
I've embarked on a Quality improvement project for this article page.

First step = research and improvement with additional secondary sources.

&mdash; Cirt (talk) 22:35, 19 September 2014 (UTC) Lots more info on History of the device, at above cite. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 04:47, 20 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Note: State of article prior to quality improvement project. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 21:31, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Additional academic usage
Device has seen usage in academic studies for other non-sexual purposes.

Example = https://escholarship.org/uc/item/48q9s83p

These uses are more disparate and not as correlated with each other as the sexual uses.

I'll do some additional research and create another sub-sect under Academic analysis for these other varied uses by academics and medical clinicians.

&mdash; Cirt (talk) 21:37, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Added that source, above. Added sub sub sect for this sort of usages. Found a few more studies to add to that sect as well. Will add those soon. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 18:08, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Added a bunch more studies. Will see if there are any more mentions of that academic sort. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 13:01, 28 September 2014 (UTC)

Dubious statement
I tagged "It does not work well in electrical outlets outside the U.S." I can only see the first few lines of the refs, but I doubt that they qualify as WP:RS. They appear to be more along the lines of personal travel columns. From the device's website it is rated to work with 110-120 V, 60 Hz power (the US is not the only place that system is used for mains supply) and it is even sold in Canada.

 * I'll recheck the source and provide quotes from the cited sources. Standby. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:45, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks. No point quoting the refs if they have it wrong. Better to just use the info from the company's website. Meters (talk) 20:49, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Best to rely on secondary sources where at all possible. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:50, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Added quotes to two above cited sources. Hope that's clearer now, per the sources. Cheers, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:50, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * ✅, modified sentence: Changed from "It does not work well in electrical outlets outside the U.S." to "electrical outlets in all countries internationally". Please see DIFF. Thank you, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 20:53, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out,, much appreciated, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 21:04, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Much better. Thanks for the quick response. I would have rewritten it myself, but I couldn't see the entirety of the refs. Meters (talk) 21:08, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
 * No worries, and my pleasure, &mdash; Cirt (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

Why
I expected to find a section in this article on why this device is "the mother of all vibrators". It can't be because of a single US sex educator. On Amazon for example, the highest rated clitoral vibrators are considerably smaller and lighter than this bulky non-portable thing. Why does it have to be so huge? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.21.157.27 (talk) 17:50, 21 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Haven't come across that in secondary sources yet. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 02:25, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
