After accumulating over 1000 sex toys, many people ask me where I store them. I have a spare room dedicated solely to my toys, where they are organised by category. I would say the most popular category is rabbit vibrators, as I have over 130 of them. That’s a big percentage. This doesn’t just reflect my personal preferences, but rabbit vibrators are, in fact, legendary.
Let me explain why.
When it comes to legendary sex toys, few can top the legacy of rabbit vibrators. These dual-action toys have brought countless people to climax thanks to their unique design — offering both internal and external stimulation. But did you know their origin story begins with a legal loophole in Japan? Let’s dive into the wild history, cultural impact, and modern evolution of one of the world’s most loved clitoral vibrators and G-spot vibrators.
A Brief History of the Rabbit Vibrator
Rabbit vibrators were first created in 1980s Japan, where obscenity laws banned toys that too closely resembled human anatomy. To skirt these laws, manufacturers got creative — designing toys with animal features. Enter: the bunny.
The first rabbit vibrators featured a traditional shaft for penetration and a small, external arm with soft “ears” designed to look like a rabbit. These ears weren’t just cute — they turned out to be perfect for clitoral stimulation, delivering fluttery sensations that users loved.
How Sex and the City Made Rabbits Go Viral
Rabbit vibrators became a household name after their iconic appearance in Sex and the City — Season 1, Episode 9, “The Turtle and the Hare.” In this episode, Charlotte becomes so attached to her rabbit that she briefly disappears from social life entirely. The scene was hilarious, real, and wildly relatable, especially to me as a professional sex toy reviewer. This scene sparked a boom in rabbit vibrator sales and solidified its place in pop culture. It also sparked debate about whether there can be such a thing as too much pleasure… I
Since then, it’s been one of the best-selling sex toys in the world.
Why Are They Called “Rabbit Vibrators”?
The original rabbit vibrators featured bunny ears — not for aesthetic reasons, but to avoid Japan’s strict obscenity laws. Ironically, those little ears turned out to be a genius design choice for clitoral vibrators, delivering targeted stimulation that became their signature.
Today, some newer designs have dropped the ears entirely in favour of other shapes and technologies. Many people new to rabbits don’t even realise where the name comes from!
