# History-Honoring Intimate Toys Lox Club Launched the Pickle Vibrator to Pay Homage to Its Founders By Colin Smith | Published 2022-02-09 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-vibrator References: [hypebae](https://hypebae.com/2022/2/lox-club-dating-app-pickle-vibrator-release) & [loxclubapp](https://www.loxclubapp.com/gifting/pickle-vibrator)  'Lox Club,' the bespoke dating app for those with "high standards," has launched a [large pickle-shaped vibrator](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pleasing-4) named the 'Pickle Vibrator.' The company's history is rich with [pickle references](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grillos-pickles-candle), right down to the founders' reasons for starting the company. Lox Club began as a deli founded in 1923 by two lovers who shared a love for pickles. Soon after this, one of the founders died and the other honored them by opening a speakeasy in the back of the building with the password "[Pickles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vlasic-pickles)." Now, the restaurant has evolved into a dating app under the same name, making the vibrator much more fitting to its current brand while still honoring its roots as a pickle-loving deli. The intimate toy is 4.75 inches long and 1-inch thick, and the entire toy resembles a large dill pickle, complete with the bright green color and bumps on the skin of the pickle. The Pickle Vibrator can be purchased online at Lox Club's website for $65.00 USD.
