Club X pays homage to ‘mums’ who paved the way for modern vibrators

Sexual wellness retailer Club X has launched a cheeky new campaign celebrating the origins of the modern vibrator.

The work by marketing agency Kennedy Studio was shot in Melbourne and set in a colourful retro-styled home, featuring housewives in various scenarios alongside some DIY precursors to self-stimulation devices.

The latest campaign from Club X.

The tongue-in-cheek campaign charts the journey from the infamous Granville Hammer ‘medical’ device of the late 19th Century, used to treat so-called ‘hysteria’, through to the first commercially produced vibrators of the 1960s.

Its voiceover finishes by saying: “Never forget the history and the ones who paved the way. Isn’t that right, mum?”

“The campaign reminds women that vibrators have been around for decades and have always been a tool of self-exploration and pleasure,” a Club X spokesperson explained.

The company launched in 1977 and has since “paved the way for sexual wellness and championed sexual diversity in Australia”.
