Luxury Vibrator / Intimate Massager Designs

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

We are a new company focused on developing the next generation of luxury vibrators and intimate massagers.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

We are in need of a designer who can take renderings to the CAD stage.

We are looking to develop a a new vibrator primarily used for clitoral stimulation.

We would like the design to be elegant and sleek.

We would like the controls of the vibrator to be ergonomically positioned.

Most vibrators on the market today are not ergonomically designed.
- Buttons situated in a way which requires the user to be holding the vibrator upright to see and adjust.
- Buttons too small or close together
- Buttons in places where a user naturally places their thumb or fingers during use. - leading to unintentional adjustments.

We would like a designer to consider the following in his/her designs:

- Using a knob joystick placed at the end of the vibrator. The joystick would be same shape as the head of a pawn piece in the game of chess. The user would manipulate the joystick in different directions in order to control the speed and vibration pattern of the vibrator.

- In addition to elongated shapes designed for penetration, we would like to consider clitoral only vibrators that are shaped more like a tongue or a giant bean (see below for links to: Lelo Nea-Vibe, Phillips Sensual Massager, Sasi, Nomi Tang Better than Chocolate)

- Another design we are entertaining for a penetrative vibrator is in the form of an upside down space gun. The base of the gun handle would have the button controls. The user can hold the handle of the upside down gun to secure/move the device, while using his/her thumb to change the controls - all this while the vibrator is in use (pointed down or towards the vagina). If we go with a gun design, we would like to see some fun and retro styles.

We would like the elongated penetrative designs to conforms to a woman's anatomy. Should not look overly invasive or painful to insert.

For the clitoral only designs, we are open to any ergonomic shape (please look at Phillips Intimate Massager for visual context)

- We are also considering a dual motor vibrator. We can put the motors next to each other, or space them at both ends of the vibrator. One end can have a large vibrating surface area, and the other end can have a small vibrating surface area (more clitoral focus)

- Our products will have a soft silicone skin, but the base of the vibrator can be plastic derivative, or metal alloy.


IMPORTANT: Please pay close attention to designing the controls.
We can use the joystick knob as described above, rubber covered push buttons, rotating switch around the middle of the vibrator, or even touchpad sensors (like Nomi Tang)

I would imagine that a rotating ring or touchpad technology would make it more difficult to waterproof.

- We will have need an adjustment for both intensity and vibration.
- We will need a way to power on and off the unit. Prefer not have a separate button for this. Perhaps just hold control for several seconds to power unit on/off.
- We will want one or two LED indicators.


OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

Babyboomers, older women and couples with discretionary income to buy cool gadgets

As far as shapes, think Alessi kitchen ware, Aston martins, Ducatis, Phillipe Starck, etc.

WE ABSOLUTELY MUST HAVE (or we don't want to see) THIS IN OUR DESIGN:

Nothing that looks explicitly like a real penis.
Design needs to be waterproof (preferably can submerge under water)
Have an accompanying stylized charging base (will charge through induction, like an electric toothbrush)
We would like designs for BOTH Clitoral and Penetrative Shapes

We are prepared to pay more than the award amount if we choose your design(s)
