This refined intimacy device is made from a hand blown glass vessel that exposes an arrangement of brass and metal mechanisms inside of the vibrator. A [wind-up key](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatic-watch-winder) at the ebony wood base of the device causes the internal mechanism to move back and forth, causing the tube to vibrate for four to five minutes at a time. This luxury adult toy was specifically designed to be both luxurious and expensive to appeal to a high-end clientele. It also comes with a lifetime warranty. By creating this vibrator, Buijs states he hopes to end any stigma or shame associated with [female self-pleasure](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womanizer-enhance). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.3/10 - Popularity: 95% | Activity: 86% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Luxury Adult Toys:** The market for high-end adult toys is growing, providing opportunities for innovative and unique designs such as wind-up mechanisms. - **Visible Intimacy Devices:** Intimacy devices that are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and on display are becoming more popular, allowing for inventive and creative designs. - **Ending Stigma Surrounding Female Pleasure:** Creating products that promote and celebrate female self-pleasure can lead to new markets and untapped customer bases. ### Where This Applies - **Adult Entertainment:** Wind-up mechanisms, unique design aesthetics, and a focus on luxurious products can disrupt the adult entertainment industry by appealing to a niche, high-end market. - **Luxury Goods:** The trend of designing aesthetically pleasing and expensive intimacy devices opens up opportunities for luxury goods companies to expand their product lines. - **Gender Equality and Empowerment:** By creating products that focus on celebrating female self-pleasure, businesses can tap into the growing market of consumers who prioritize gender equality and empowerment. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [History-Honoring Intimate Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-vibrator.md) - [Luxe Joystick Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hole-tourbillon.md) - [Womens Sexual Wellness Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dott-wand.md) - [Unique Timekeeping Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-timekeeping-device.md) - [Music-Driven Pleasure Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/groove-thing.md) - [Dual-Mode Pleasure Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/womanizer-enhance.md) - [Grenade-Inspired Table Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lepe-1839.md) - [Music-based Intimate Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juno-music-activated-toy.md) - [Fashionable Sexual Wellness Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lelo-diesel.md)
