If Apple Made Sex Toys - Jimmyjane's The Usual Suspects
Note: this post was updated in 2013 to include the latest items
Design-centric erotic product company Jimmyjane, a brand founded on the belief that life is better with a sexy twist and best known for their little chroma vibrators, has adopted some of the most iconic sex toys and 'curated' them to become modern designer versions of the traditional originals. Now they look like they belong perfectly in the Mac family of white iPods, earbuds, iPhones, iMice and the like.
The collection is called The Usual Suspects but with pale grey text and accents on all white versions, they should be referred to iConic rather than Iconic items. (Coincidentally, since this post they have nicknamed the items the iRabbit, The iRing, the iPocket, the iSmoothie and so on...)
ICONIC RABBIT AKA "TWICE AS NICE"
The original rabbit that started it all:
A little vibrator history for you, courtesy of Jimmyjane:
Perhaps the best known vibrator ever made, this “Rabbit Habit” is the original that inspired hundreds of derivative products. Created in Japan over 25 years ago, it was the first to offer simultaneous internal and external stimulation. This configuration was so successful that it launched an entire category of products, now known in the industry as “Twice As Nice” vibrators. The popularity of this design is telling. Conservative estimates indicate that over 5 million “Twice As Nice” vibrators are made each year, and production levels are still growing. Adding to the momentum, several celebrities have spoken openly of their affinity for the product. No stranger to the limelight, it has made appearances on numerous TV shows – most memorably, its cameo on Sex and the City in 1998. The curious appearance of the vibrator is functionally derived, but culturally embellished.
The Rabbit Habit features a stylized rabbit attached to the base of a shaft, which, upon closer examination, is detailed to resemble a woman, complete with a caricature face, necklace, and bob haircut. In Japan there is a long-standing taboo surrounding the depiction of genitalia. As a result, in sexual implements dating back millennia, faces and other details were often sculpted onto otherwise phallic forms to soften their visual impact and disguise (albeit only slightly) their functional intent. Some of the more elaborate designs even included swords, kimonos, and other details to represent samurai and geisha characters. Today, an entire menagerie of Twice As Nice vibrators is available, featuring animals ranging from dolphins to seahorses, monkeys to birds

ICONIC POCKET AKA "POCKET VIBRATOR"
Pleasure to go.
Pocket Vibrators were first produced in Japan over 25 years ago. Their compact all-in-one design made them the most portable vibrators available at the time other mini vibrators were wired to a separate battery pack, and were clumsy by comparison. Pocket Vibrators were also among the first waterproof vibrators in wide circulation, ensuring that they immediately made a splash.
While Pocket Vibrators were designed to be compact, they were also engineered to be powerful. The four hemispheres on the tip of the vibrator help intensify sensation by varying the contact pressure as they are moved across the body. The versatility and innocuous appearance of the Pocket Vibrator, combined with its usefulness for non-sexual massage, has given everyone a reason and an excuse to keep one handy.
Details:
• All materials are body-safe, including hygienic, non-porous, phthalate-free, ABS plastic.
