Second Place

Via Wave Multi-stim Vibeby Jeanette Numbers of Providence, RIThe Via Wave Multi-stim Vibe is inspired by the popular rabbit-style vibrators. The key difference is the sliding ?wave? mechanism in the center. This replaces the common spinning pearls found in rabbit vibes. The vibe also includes an adjustable, vibrating clitoral stimulator.

Third Place
