Sex Toy Company Offering "Pleasurable Relief" From Government Shut Down

This might be one of the only good things to come out of the ongoing government shutdown. Any furloughed employee looking to keep her hands busy can now get a little extra personal satisfaction while stuck at home: namely, in the form of a free, 5-inch pink vibrator.

Vibrators.com is giving away as many as 200 sex toys daily to government employees during the shutdown. The promotion, which began last Friday, started slow, with 400 vibrators given away over the course of the weekend. On Monday, Vibrators.com turned up the speed, filling out orders of their daily stock of 200 toys before noon.

Tom Nardone is the president of PriveCo, which runs Vibrators.com and several other websites that sell items the more-easily embarrassed might not buy in public, much less find with ease: ShopInPrivate.com, for example, sells everything from hair remover to pubic wigs (really). The vibrators they're giving away, Nardone said, are the same ones they usually include as a free gift with orders on their various sites. That means they've been thoroughly tested in the lab of PriveCo's Troy, Mich. warehouse ... and they're also user-approved.

I mean, it's one thing to buy a refurbished hard drive, but a vibrator really ought to be fresh out of the factory.
