The first rabbit vibrator appeared on the market in 1984 and, along with the magic wand vibrator, is considered by Cosmopolitan magazine to be one of the classic sex toys. These vibrators were imported from Japan and designed in bright, playful colors, shaped like beavers, kangaroos, and turtles to comply with the country’s obscenity laws—unlike earlier imports from China that mimicked a realistic phallus. Their cute, colorful designs adds to their stronger appeal among women, which ultimately contributed to the Rabbit’s commercial success.
