Yeah, but when I was a kid back in the 80's and saw them in the mail order catalogs, I completely believed they were just head and neck massagers.

They can be. Just keep a good grip on the base. You don't want to choke.
I gave one of these to my girlfriend the day before I had to go away on business for 2 months.
She said "What is this for?"
I said "It's a replacement for my you-know-what."
She said "Oh, ok. I think I get it."
I got home 2 months later and she had 3 chipped teeth.
Enjoy the benefits of a cordless massager that gives a gentle penetrating massage
They totally knew what they were doing.
7 inches long. Sturdy high impact plastic.
That's what everybody asks about when buying products for their face.
eyes, brows, chin, and other parts of the body
Be careful, some might misuse this as a sex toy.
What's the bet that the "sturdy high impact plastic" isn't body safe?
It doesn't release microplastics, it releases macroplastics.
Is there a percentage higher than 100?
I have to massage my face due to nerve damage. I bought a massage gun but it is too violent, so I am seriously considering buyijg a cheap sex toy specifically to massage my face!
...but I may be the only one
I use my vibrator on my neck sometimes when I have a migraine, it works really well.
I advise not to go "cheap" and make sure you get something body safe. (Cheap toys could be made with harmful materials.) Honestly if you go to a sex shop and explain what the need is, they'll be more than happy to guide you to toys that have the vibrations you need. There's buzzy or rumbly types and come in a huge range of strengths and textures
Seriously, they'd be ecstatic to help! And you would absolutely not be the only one
Unsolicited recommendation?:
I'm not sure what you need specifically, but something like this might work? https://lovecrave.com/products/vesper It's small and you can use the tip for pinpoint or the length of it for a larger area. It is rumbly, surprisingly so for such a small device, and has different strengths (and patterns), and doesn't look like a sex toy
Even ones with an adjustable dial are too rough? First off I’m sorry you have nerve damage that sucks second off. I hope the hand dildo works.
I use an intimate vibrator on my face occasionally to loose up my sinuses. Just give it a good wash before and after; there's nothing wrong with it.
Does it work?
Not -always- but when things are really goopy and not going anywhere I can vibe for a couple of minutes until it's looser and then blow my nose and get my allergy spray in. It's a nasal spray so I need any room in there to get the meds in. I rub it mostly on my upper cheeks and nose and a little on my forehead.
"hey honey can you- what the fuck"
Oh my God that is such a great idea
Get a We-Vibe Touch! It’s got a silicone exterior and it goes from little vibrations to fairly strong.
That's super pricey for this. Any $15 vibe from Amazon will do.
That’s fair. I have one for other things and I love it very much.
what about, like, a regular-ass electric toothbrush?
Not a bad call, actually
the gun is good
Perhaps the most American statement...
But no, the massage gun was definitely too violent for what I need for my face
I almost bought one as a Christmas present for my mom when I was ten. The last in the catalogue was holding it to her shoulder... I'm so glad I picked the brass penguin instead.
Careful though, it doesn't have a flared base.
massage in cream
You don't say...
Reminds me of the Adult Swim ad for salad tossers that looked suspiciously like…a tool that really gives women pleasure. And here it is: Salad Mixxxer
I am pretty sure some did, after.
🤣
It never was intended as a "face massager".
